The remarks I reference begin about 6.30 He said that "they need to own their mistakes, learn from them, vow never to repeat them and then move on.

FACT: The State must have the de facto monopoly on the production and use of mass killings weapons..
and to say the opposite is to say that, "everyone desires to kill everyone, and there are numerous suppliers supplying that demand". The absurdities fallacies and impossibilities of the second option, "competing", are obvious and hence the government must have monopoly on the production and use of mass killings weapons necessarily. We now ask, "who [...]
Will Obama’s Supreme Court pick be another tax evader?
There’s a lot of speculation about who his pick will be and whoever it is I don’t think confirmation is going to be a easy as many are saying. Obama to date, has picked some real "winners" but for the most part was given a pass because of his inexperience. He doesn’t have any excuses [...]
Does this torture scandal mean that the President has too much power as the Commander in Chief?
Bush took it upon himself (and his legal team) to decide whether or not waterboarding constituted torture. Do you think the President of the United States ought to be able to make decisions like this on his own? Second question: Could the President authorize a nuclear strike on Pakistan? By himself? Countries mentioned in this [...]
Does anyone have the latest list of endorsements for each presidential candidate?
Is there a list that ranges from Celebrities to Politicians? I just want a list with the names not all the story with it. For instance, the only thing I find for Ron Howard, Andy Griffith, and Henry Winkler is the YOU TUBE endorsement for Obama. I find Republican Senator Lugar Endorses Obama’s foriegn Policy. [...]

What do you think of the liberal assault on our freedoms of speech and religion?
Liberal judges are taking away our freedoms of speech and religion. As Conservatives(and Americans), we have the right to have our own views and to practice our religion. If conservatives such as myself disagree with liberal ideology, the liberals try to silence us by accusing us of "hate-speech", and threatening us with law-suits or even [...]
Have "No Smoking in Public Places" laws gone too far? Please read the question details.
First, let me say that I have not smoked a cigarette for 23 years, (and I am the reformed smoker from hell) but I watch the laws being made, isolating one group of people…and I think, just one more freedom taken away. I could have chosen one of a lot of other laws, but this [...]

How will King Jesus judge all the Christians and other human beings? Is it Law of Gospel of Christ ?

Are campaign promises meant to be broken?
During the campaign, President Obama promised that "When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online, find out what’s in it…." Seeing as how he broke this promise by signing the State Children’s Health Insurance Program just hours after its passing Congress, [...]
Did Sen. Barack Obama, and the Democrat controlled Congress, just buy an election for $700 billion??
Last year, all Sen. Obama and all the other Democrats talked about was a "quagmire" in Iraq. The McCain and Petraeus "surge" finally got accepted, ..and Iraq has been found hope. McCain’s poll numbers went up with his success. So Dem’s and Obama turned instead to "Youth, and Change" to fight him. So McCain selected [...]
How prevalent do you believe prejudice is in this nation? We seem to be fragmenting into a …
Them v. Us for political entitlements. Boorstein, a historian of note some years back, said that the American public acts by consensus, v. conflict.

Going back some fifty years or so, is there really an ideological difference….
between liberals and conservatives, or is this difference somewhat contrived, and the result of catering to right-wing and left-wing fringe groups, so as to win elections. Do the conservatives and liberals, as originally defined, have the same basic goal – the preservation of Constitutional liberties for all – and a different take on the means [...]

Will the Dems move to socialism cause a rash of secessions when the economy collapses?

Christian Nation and Torture. Are these two ideas in conflict?
My point is not to say that we are a Christian Nation because I don’t believe that to be the case. Some of the same people who proclaim the USA to be a Christian Nation are now also defending the Bush administration torture practices. Just curious what others think about this. Is it Christian to [...]

Why does Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama bother Republicans much more than those of others?
Why does former Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Democratic Senator Barack Obama anger Republicans so much, when there were so many other endorsements given to Sen. Barack Obama by prominent white Republicans in the weeks prior to Powell’s endorsement and absolutely nothing was said about it, not even a whisper? Does the [...]

When it comes to taxes, how much is enough?
Depending on where you live in the US, we pay an average of between 25% and 35% of our income in taxes. Many people pay much higher percentages, especially small business owners. Despite that, our government at every level is constantly claiming they need more money and higher taxes. So, my question is, how much [...]

Gov. Schwarzenegger says California "may be ready to legalize marijuana". Will that raise DUI fines?
While the state would perhaps no longer be able to arrest you for having it, or smoking it, ..it would probably still be a DUI conviction for driving while high.

How far can government claim responsibility for, or be accused of causing, unemployment figures?
This latest rash of job losses seems to have stemmed from the banking crisis, which (I think) is the direct cause of the global recession (please correct me if I am wrong).

Network Rail fined – what is the point?
