This is Denmark. Denmark has free healthcare and free college. Denmark's minimum wage is $25 an hour and people work 35 hours a week. Denmark is the happiest try in the world. Be like Denmark. Hurray for democratic socialism! ...

By Daniel TencerFriday, January 8th, 2010 -- 2:23 pm An award-winning California-based political cartoonist says he is receiving death threats over a 90-second animated film he created that teaches viewers "how to speak Tea Bag." Mark Fiore compares his predicament to that of Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, whose cartoon depicting the prophet Mohamed caused rioting across the Muslim world several years ago, and an attempt on his life last week. "Muslim extremist, meet Tea Party extremist. ...

After about 26 years transcribing, the front of my right foot point outward, apparently from spending so many trillion hours using a foot pedal. Does anyone else experience this? Do you find it has caused knee or hip problems? Thanks. ...

at congress. I gotta give the president credit...he is an excellent finger pointer. lol In all honesty though, congress does have to own up to some of the blame here. However, I don't truly believe Obama blames congress. I believe he is trying to blame republicans in congress because now there are people opposing the democrats on their views. I guess my biggest problem with this blame game is that the democrats could have done anything they wanted before the l ...

"“Conventions by nature force candidates and campaigns to focus on a very small group of party activists,” said Phil Cox, executive director of the Republican Governors Association and a longtime Virginia-based strategist. He grimaced at the successful movement by conservative activists in his state earlier this year to switch from a primary system to a convention system. “If the goal is actually to win elections, holding more primaries would be a good start.” [Ah, and ...

Me thinks God is up there smoking dope! Apparently, Michele Bachmann is now confirming that she has received the long-awaited go-ahead from the Lord on her presidential run. Per Eric Kleefeld, she revealed that she had received His blessing in an interview with Iowa Public Television: Henderson: You recently referenced your Christian faith. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, when he announced he would not run, said that he just didn't feel called to do that. Have you had that ...

"Even if we put the best possible face on the Inspector General’s report about the “Fast and Furious” gunwalking scandal — and assume that embattled Attorney General Eric Holder knew nothing, nothing about a cockamamie operation that funneled thousands of American guns to murderous Mexican drug cartels until very late in the game — we’re still left with one stunning conclusion: Why the hell not? He certainly should have known, and it&rsquo ...

I am middle-aged. Sometimes in past elections when I have voted for President, my guy has won and sometimes he has lost, but one thing has been consistent. I might feel confident in victory or somewhat dejected in defeat, but I have always slept well that night--knowing that in 4 more years, whatever came or went, America would be fundamentally sound and our leaders (President in chief) would steer us safely through whatever lay ahead. This year, both presidential candidates have ...

By "clear up", I mean "to the extent possible". I've spent two weeks "in the stacks", reviewing more than 2 dozen of the more recent economic analyses on the subject of the minimum wage, from sources that are considered reasonably objective. For the most part, I focused on studies published by the NBER. Of course, there's never any absolute assurance of objectivity, but peer review offers some reason to hope for it. They don't call economics "the dismal science" ...

EXCLUSIVE: At least three of the five Taliban leaders traded last year for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have tried to plug back into their old terror networks, a government official familiar with the intelligence told Fox News, describing it as an attempt to "re-engage." The new allegations come as Bergdahl now faces desertion charges, and as the one-year deal governing the former Guantanamo detainees' supervised release in the Gulf nation of Qatar is set to expire -- at the end of May.&n ...

Watching a Sanders rally the other night, it struck me that I knew this man. The similarity between Sanders and his followers, and Leary and his, is eerily uncanny, and the social milieu of youthful malcontent which they cultivate is similar as well. I swear, it took me right back to the 60's, the rampant ignorance, and the rise of the drug culture. ...

Former President Bill Clinton took a swipe Tuesday at Mitt Romney's position on climate change in the aftermath of the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, saying that President Obama's policies were better for the environment. "In the real world, Barack Obama’s policies work better," Clinton said at a campaign rally in Minnesota. Clinton said that Romney mocked Obama's position on climate change during the first presidential debate, although the topic didn't come up. "He ri ...

Does anyone out there have a delish recipe for clear broth veggie soup? I have been hungry for it. We have recently gone almost completely gluten free, and am loving it. It was so easy. not a diet, a lifestyle change. I am not suffering major cravings, except for ice cream. Summer, ice cream, hand-in-hand. Anyway, I would appreciate any recipes you can send my way. Also am looking for a totally tasty salad dressing that is clear based and gluten-fr ...

investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump....... Even in a story in which they're forced to admit no ties, NYTimes finds ways to editorialize and bring in unsubstantiated accusations starting from the headline ("no clear links" -- suggesting they might ...

Sen. Bernie Sanders will be a guest on The Colbert Report tonight to discuss his Saving American Democracy Amendment. Bernie’s amendment to the Constitution would reverse a Supreme Court ruling that lets corporations spend unlimited and undisclosed amounts of money to influence elections. ...

In 2011, Sen. Bernie Sanders stood before Congress and predicted that the so-called "free trade agreement" with the small nation of Panama would lead to an explosion of tax evasion there. The recent ‪#‎Panamaleaks‬ proved he was exactly right, unfortunately. Sigh... when will we listen? ...

Income and wealth inequality: In the United States today we have the most unequal wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth -- worse than at any time since the 1920s. This is an economy that must be changed in fundamental ways. Jobs and income: In my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which puts millions of our people back to work. We must end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to fight for pay equity ...

Sorry, no MTSOs. Today, a group of 80 CEOs are lecturing Congress about the need to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, while lowering tax rates for millionaires, billionaires, and the largest corporations in America. These are some of the same CEOs who head corporations that:  received a total taxpayer bailout of more than $2.5 trillion from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department and nearly caused the economy to collapse just four years ago;  outsourced hundreds of ...

Not one door that I knocked on said "no" they would not vote for Mr. Sanders in the primary. A few needed more information and were yet undecided (as is to be expected). The difference I really noted was that there were no adamant negative responses. When canvassing for Pres. Obama there were many negative responses, and I was canvassing from Democratic rolls. The above Sanders contacts were completely blind (no preference known at this time) . Also, of interest, we hav ...

Rasmussen's actual words... - sm

Yes - in other words, Denmark is NOT a socialist state - of any sort, "democratic" or otherwise.

No one said Denmark was a "socialist state". - nm

I read that Denmark is the happiest nation on earth. - nm
