...to let ALL of President Bushs tax cuts expire? As a fiscal conservative the amount of debt combined with the skewed tax burden in this country are really starting to make me worry for the condition of the US when my sons generation has to start paying for things. The "poor" don't pay taxes, the semi poor don't either and the middle class as a tax source is shrinking. Let's be honest here. Only the rich pay a significant amount of taxes and even their money is being shielded by the lower cap gains tax rate. Half the population has no steak in our system because they don't or barely help pay for it.

Medicaid, Medicare, social security, defense,and now Obamacare. All of them could easily collapse in on one another, all of them need to be fixed, and our tax revenue is falling.

Generally speaking a low tax environment is good, but haven't we gone far past the point of diminishing returns? How are we going to pay for all these things without taxing the hell out of our kids in a presumably low growth economy. Where have all the true fi-cons gone?

Looks like the Progressives were as "enlightened" then, as they are today.

One of the few legitimate responsibilities of the Federal government is to provide for the defense of the nation. However, I've long thought that "patriotism" and the glorification of the military are a bit "oversold". I find this to be a pretty interesting article by an individual with military experience. http://www.salon.com/2012/07/15/war_is_betrayal/

It appears we can use the term *terrorism* as it suits us.
The massacre at Ft Hood Texas was NOT an act of terrorism, but merely domestic unrest(Violence)..while this current incident in Colorado is an open case of terrorism(domestic or otherwise). If Obama claims the gunman Terrorized the citizens in the theater..would not that make the gunman a terrorist? Then what did the shooter in Texas do to his victims? Simply stress them out? Foolishness..he terrorized them...thus he was a terrorist.

The redefiner-n-chief is at it again.

How tragic...on many levels.
