Read up on the Jones case. It was egregious enough that Ted Poe (her Texas Rep and a staunch conservative -- no enemy of KBR) backed her. It is...
Obama can't change DADT. It is a law, passed by Congress. It' s up to them to change it.All he can do is ignore it and refuse to enforce it, thus...
I for one am a little sick of the condescending attitude of some nations that they have to modernize their neighbor's economy and what not. I'm...
Actually on rereading the thread the only times I even referred to the Chinese people were when I said the concept of personal liberty is...
China allowed Tibetan autonomy during the entirety of their "rule" until they invaded in the '50's after a brief period of Tibetan autonomy for...
Might want to actually read the thread before you respond. Asked and answered wrt Indian treatment. It's pretty obvious I don't defend it. Nor am...
Not to personalize the thread (more making a point), but as I mentioned earlier I have a Taiwanese stepmother who has taken us to China multiple...
I have spent time in Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Beijing. In total I have spent probably a month in China/Taiwan. I do like it. It is an...
I wouldn't mind living in Asia at all. I'm not sure China would be my first choice however. I also don't think you necessarily have to live...

What if I don't think you were entirely right? Like I said, I agree with your comparison between the US treatment of Native Americans and China's...
I don't think everyone in China is against Communism. I think Tibetans want to be an independent people. I support them.
There are many examples through US history of conquest where I disapproved of the USA's actions. Unlike some posters here, I don't reflexively...
The thing is he is "just an entertainer." He's no different than Howard Stern, except people strangely think Beck knows something. Sometimes I'm...
Care to guess why one is called "The Invasion of Tibet," and another "The Louisiana Purchase?" Hint: one involves use of force. The other...
And if you honestly think that the concept of sacrificing personal liberty for the greater societal good was destroyed by Communism, I have no...
Oddly I don' remember reading that the US took Arizona and Utah by force. I have this odd notion that the states voted on whether or not to become...
This ain't complicated. Invading your neighbor and squelching an independent country should be a bad thing, right? Especially when you maintain a...
