I'm disabled, but if weather permits, the fates sing and there is no ice in Hell that day, I'll attempt to pretend that I like the smell of suits and look you up. z p.s. Lincoln knew Brigham was a pain in the ass and Abe had a little old war on his mind. This gave the Morons a few more years until the Raid which would send the brethren fleeing, to enjoy the Moron Tapioca Choir <A> I see you’ll be in SB,IN April 26 GOP Lincoln Day Dinner.

I have paid double FICA taxes as an employer and have told my employees that they probably won't see a dime. My father drew benefits for 40+ years after only paying-in for less than 5years, my mother drew for 18+ years while paying at any avg of $3.50 hrly wage for only approx 20 yrs. The system is front loaded and now we have to pay the piper! Add to this additional spending for SSI and illegals and we are have todays problems. No blood from the stone, we are all at fault for voting for people that support this fraud! We need to take care of our families and get federal/state governments out of these choices. Wish you the best. Tom Williams John, I know your feelings but think we have to weight the facts.

IF you not receiving what you put in is the result of an unintended consequence, then that says more about the process than the user doesnt it? Its not wrong to expect repayment, but that doesnt mean it is becoming more and more unrealistic, just like believing in the tooth fairy. Expecting that every gov program works as intended is pretty farfetched, even more so today, expecting ANY gov program will work as intended is equally slim. Keep the programs that work, do away with the ones that do not, use the apple technique and not the bad milk technique, hold on to things that are good, but discard the rest. You do not necessarily have to throw out the entire batch.

Having ideas of grandeur is fine, as long as you realize those idea have to be voted on by the people to which they will apply, ie more state gov, not national gov, the smaller the purview you can make it, the better, eg..family being the most effective body of government. forgot to add my point,

What you expect, and what you want are two different things. What you need is yet another completely different idea all together. Most folks know what they want, but are probably very ignorant of what they actually need. What i need, is a ruling body, to adhere to the agreement in which it established, ie the Constitution. What i need, is for anyone that is not elected, to interpret that agreement as they see fit. What i need is an elected body to allow every man to be in control of his/her own path in life, not protect me from myself, and not reward me for my failures. Deserve has nothing to do with it. Life is not fair. Free will must not be coerced. Make your own way, and if possible, share the only thing that you can take with you after you die, which is love for one another, all else is vanity. Dont be a rube for 'the next best thing'. I expect nothing back from anyone not in my immediate family. What you expect, and what you want are two different things.

You are right to. However, my sense from other things he has said is I don't think he's saying what you think he is saying. I could be wrong, and I'd love him to clarify. Because if he is saying what you think he is saying, then I'd agree with you against him. But if he can clarify, then it's clear to me that his view of govt. is much closer to yours than Mitt Romney's is. (I believe the biggest gulf between you & him is on military foreign policy. I think it is on that issue that he wanders from a more conservative policy, and especially from a Libertarian Party stance. That would be another interesting discussion.) My sense is that the biggest beef he has with libertarian thought is on marriage, abortion, and legalizing drugs. But on those issues, you agree with him on 2 of the 3, even though you may disagree whether they properly belong at the state level or federal level.

If Santorum runs against the libertarian wing of the GOP, he might get away with it, but running against the Tea Party will ensure he can't win the general election. Enough people misunderstand "libertarian" that he could get away with it; too many people identify with "Tea Party" to pull it off. If he gets the GOP nomination, I would expect a landslide victory for the democrats (and most definitely for Obama).

Definitely complimentary. Conversely, Santorum doesn't believe libertarians and conservatives share the same common skeleton of values and principles. I don't trust this.
