Welcome, from Curtis Hier!

On Intellectual Redneck:

Barack is going after the tax loopholers. Count me as one of them. I, like the Facebook guy, plan on never showing a profit to the IRS on my site.

During the Sui Dynasty in China, six million men were "employed" to finish the 1000-mile Grand Canal.

Men were at that time forced to work on the Canal for one month of their short lives each year. Many died while working on the Canal. Just as today, family breadwinner… Continue

I'm a big believer in American exceptionalism. We've always had a great combination of the ability to pull together and value the individual.

When it comes to the economy, we need to value the capabilities of the individual. Only rugged individualism will get us through it. In that sense, Hoover was right and FDR was wrong. There is no "we" in capitalism. There is in patriotism, however.

With a needle that did not point in the same direction as mine, Howard Dean, as Democratic chairman, had a moral compass. Not sure about Michael Steele's moral compass.

Dean also had a strategic compass and a keen sense of where it was pointing for the last four years. Not sure about Michaels Steele's, but the direction of Dean's strategic compass pointed EXACTLY where mine points now. And that'd be toward a 50-state stragtegy.

The GOP needs a 50-state strategy.

Dean sensed that the 2006 and… Continue
