    160
  6. Sounds like this mask is not politically correct.
    136

  8. I thought the Ponzi scheme was voluntary and non-compulsory, unlike taxation.
    122
  9. When a politician keeps doubling down on lies, it just goes to show the people that they will do whatever to get into power and increase their power. Some voters want this in their politicians.
    119
  10. Good intentions sure has skyrocketed this last decade, and so has bad results.

    52
  17. How many libertarians have an open house policy where anyone at anytime can come in or out?
    48

  22. Where is a 007 when you need him?

  29. The world is backwards. Too many feel oil is bad and equality of outcome is good.

  49. "No free thought allowed here." - the ghost of Mao
    17
  50. Some people must actually believe that plagiarism is a human right.
    17

    7
  103. We need to stop the war on ability.
    7
  104. How about if a Christian stonecutter refuses to make someone an idol to Satan? Can he can still be forced into an expensive court battle as punishment for exercising his religious freedom?
