    I find this sort of communication woefully lacking Treehumper. I was not "off the mark." My question was: "Is that the way you run your business?" It was a rhetorical question! I already knew you didn't! Of course you don't run your business that way! (Only a fool would.) You look for...

    Nope. How many bankers do you know Mac? Are they lazy? Are they there for you when you need them? Are they idiots with no education who just happen into their jobs, sit back in their chairs while the money rolls in? The ones I know are pretty smart. They work pretty hard. Many had to acquire an...

    Five times in the last twelve months, the participation rate has been as low as 62.8 percent; but March’s 62.7 percent, which matches the participation rate seen in September and December of 2014, is the lowest since February of 1978...

    The "right...to the pursuit of happiness" can in no way be compared to guaranteeing happiness for any given population. Furthermore, if the founders would have found out through a poll that their population was unhappy, they wouldn't have tried to fix it by taking money from this group and...

    So, about this elusive "happiness". Regarding the countries who "top" the US in "happiness"; maybe it would do them a bit of good to fear the society they've created. Need I remind you that it was this permissiveness which led to their being invaded and occupied. It was the "unhappy" old USA...

    I'll get to the rest in a bit, but just off hand, what sort of nonsense is this? Happiness? Really? How was that measured Treehumper? You do know that happiness is a relative term? Are we kindergarteners?

    Read that opinion by the law professor. Also read the other opinion articles by other law professors who disagree. Bottom line is, there are 2 types of citizens; 1. natural born 2 naturalized. Being born to a US citizen, Cruz didn't have to be naturalized--he was natural born. Same as a kid...

    Easy Hoss-->I wasn't presuming on your education or upbringing-->I simply asked if they were talking points. So, here's in answer to your query: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the...

    - An astounding $7.5 trillion increase in the national debt, bringing it up to $18 trillion - Millions of Americans have dropped out of the labor force, with participation rates at 30-year lows, and creative Washington math no longer counts these people in unemployment figures - Median...

    Is that a talking point Cerviarborist, or do you know of what you speak? If so, what part of the Constitution are you citing?

    You can see the graph of crime per country at http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Total-crimes The first footnote states: At first glance, the United States appears to stand out in this statistic, having four times as many crimes as Germany which is next on the list. However...

    That's easy--because many of them are a part of the "Washington Elite." As for being marginalized, right has never been in the majority. Do you know how many colonists refused the King's taxes? How many rose up in revolt? Small percentage--many paid for their convictions with their life. You...

    Sure Treehumper--that might sound nice on the surface. It's really very simple. Is it easier to make 1 person happy, or 3 people? 1 right? (ask any polygamist :eek:) Mexico is the next largest population to the US, is closest to the US in "happiness factor", and is still 1/3rd the size of the...

    That would be a pretty long post.:sorprendido3: But men like Ted would be a good start. From the first day he would rescind every unconstitutional executive action Barack Hussein Obama has implemented. Oh, that's right, Levi--you think the Constitution "isn't worth the paper it's written on."...
