Not schooled in the "science of law and finance"??? Wesley, you get a hearty "Bish please" for that one. Everyone knows the tax man is a pimp and the pimp has to get his cut. Even brokies like me have to pay taxes. No one is tax-exempt, NO ONE.
Wow, since I keep seeing the OPPOSITE sentiment expressed here re: the tour bus accident- how terrible for that poor man and his family and thank goodness no one else was seriously injured.
I would love for a follow up interviewer to ask this girl if she'd ever actually read the Constitution and where, specifically, it seeks to limit "big government."
Ah well, maybe in a couple of years she'll head off to college and actually read the Federalist papers. Or not.
@Mediahohoho: yeah, i think she's confusing "limited government" as meaning that it was supposed to have a small budget, not as in it was supposed to not infringe on people's liberties. Also a big government can stil be in the hands of the people..
@sheenapunk: Yes, because people who sat placidly by while the government decided it could unilaterally listen in on every phone conversation in America without a warrant are concerned about limiting government now, rather than then.
@Mediahohoho: I don't think I was clear but I was saying that she thinks that when the framers said they wanted a limited government, they meant one with a small budget. But in fact they meant one that wouldn't infringe on civil liberties. And you're saying that Republicans are clearly not concerned with a limited government because they have supported infringements on civil liberties, yes?
What is the Vatican talking about? Bella and Edward wait until marriage to have sex and Bella refuses to abort her baby even though it might kill her. You'd think that Twilight would be on top of their Netflix queue.
She was learned well from the master. See: Nate Silver's comment where he says that Sarah Palin's victim stance is very effective. "She's tough to campaign against. Why? Because any perceived or real slight against Palin is taken by her supporters as an example of sexism, elitism, or media bias; just wait until Huckabee or Romney makes their first impolitic comment about Palin in a debate or an interview and watch the sparks fly."
This "conservatives are victims" meme needs to end. As a liberal, I endured eight years of being told that I was un-American because I wasn't going to church every Sunday, wearing flag sweatshirts and blindling accepting everything my president told me. They are not entitled to scream "victim" when they created the very conditions that have stoked the flames of this culture war. End of story.
Words cannot express how much I hate the phrase "gotcha journalism". Journalism should be revealing, and it should point out when something is factually inaccurate! So yes, unapproved comments below, I can deny that this was "gotcha journalism" because "gotcha journalism" DOESN'T EXIST.
@bluewine: I hate it when anybody complains about "gotcha journalism." What do they think journalists are supposed to be doing? Parroting the government's or candidate's press releases without fact-checking?

At least that what some teens are being charged with for sexting.
'Prejean Behind Bars' ... coming soon (so to speak) to pay-per-view TV this Spring in a hotel near you.

Virgin birth, crucifixion, Lazarus rising from the dead: nothing extreme about any of that.
