Not an Endorsement, But Desperately Needed in "Progressive" Households

One of the things that disappointed my young nephews and nieces growing up was Uncle Ronald hates almost all games; it's not about winning or losing: I just find them boring. And flash card games which are easily memorized are among the worst. I would need something like an infinite variety of alternative game layouts, a vast question bank, etc.

(Libertarian Catholic). See Image of the Day restaurant notice.
Isn't that giving away things for free? I thought you were against that( Ironic sense you're in an organization that asks for free money on a regular basis.).
The resident troll retard. You mistake a private sector restaurant doing charity with the public school lunch program.

(FEE). Economic evidence clearly suggests that, despite upfront costs, the long-run impact of refugee resettlement will be neutral — and could actually trigger modest economic stimulus.
It's not Syrian refugees with which everyone I speak to has a problem. It's the faux "refugees" arriving who unalterably transform cultures in destructive ways.
Oh, stop the bullshit xenophobic fearmongering! We have a nation of 318M people; a few thousand refugees is not a material issue.
Libertarian embrace of open borders is a hypocritical betrayal of property rights and a cowardly surrender to corporate cronyism.

Speaking specifically about the Syrians- why not resettle them somewhere that they actually speak the language?
Crackpot anti-immigrant bullshit. Rothbard's end-of-life flip-flop betrayal of the natural right to migrate is ethically indefensible. A closed-border perspective is totally inconsistent with the principle of free markets and free trade, e.g., is imported oil more equal than migrant labor? You simply do not have any collective right to control anything beyond your property line
(separate comment)
Not to mention the idiotic OP troll talks about rolling back unconstitutional restrictions on immigration as "crony capitalism". Never mind the fact that restrictions on immigration over the past century are TOTALLY the result of corrupt special interests, including labor protectionism.

(Lew Rockwell). Writes Zebram Zee: If Rand wants to stop putting the youth of New Hampshire and Iowa to sleep and energize them as he would like, and get them to actually work for him, then he must promise that he will appoint Ron Paul as his VP, or some other very senior figure in the administration with a lot of influence, such as Secretary of State.
 Nah. I want Rand to appoint his father to succeed Yellen at the Fed.
