• Judge: Americans Cannot Be Indefinitely Detained Over Terrorist Suspicion

  June 8, 2012 at 5:37pm

  In reply to freedomisasfreedomdoes.

  Indeed! And then when provided the opportunity to adopt an amendment to explicitly state that citizens could not be detained indefinitely without due process under the NDAA, Republicans voted the amendment down!

• Matt Lauer Hammers Mayor Bloomberg Over Banning Large Sodas…While Supporting National Donut Day

  In reply to Anonymous T. Irrelevant.

  If the mayor had his way, no doubt he would FORCE you to eat just one.

• So Who Pays for Obama’s Chicago Barber to Allegedly Fly Bi-Monthly to the White House? ‘It’s Not Important,’ He Says

  In reply to jds1959.

  Buried at the end of this report is the fact that the travel and the haircut are all done at the President’s, not the taxpayers, expense. There is nothing to be outraged about here.

  I agree! And when a poor quality reputation and lack of innovation comes back to bite you, that is proof that Capitalism Rocks!

• Rep. Allen West Says He’s Willing to Discuss Tax Increases If…

  May 24, 2012 at 1:35am

  In reply to readyfornov.

  Allen West is disingenuous. If 535 member of Congress each find a program that eliminates $350M over 10 years (equally $35M/yr on average), then we are talking $18.7 billion of savings a year, or less than 1.5% of our current deficit. That leaves us firmly planted on the road to financial disaster, especially considering the deficit is rising at a rate higher than 1.5%/year.

  Furthermore, balanced approaches (fancy word for raising taxes while cutting spending) toward austerity do not work. Here is more information for those interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQu7V9pMK48

• Explicit NYPD Rant Caught on Tape: ‘I’ll Take My Gun and Shove It…’

  May 22, 2012 at 1:03am

  In reply to spirited.

  Perhaps even worse than the completely unprofessional nature of the cop in question is that the commenting “law enforcement sources” dismiss the behavior and suggest that it is acceptable. It must be well understood that this behavior is NOT acceptable – police officers have their authority delegated to them by the people they serve, and they must not be permitted to believe that they can, “Do whatever the f–k they want.” Police officers are in a position of authority, and accordingly, must be held to a higher standard of professionalism than ordinary citizens.

• Krauthammer: Daniels’ GOP Response ‘One of the Best’

  January 25, 2012 at 2:46pm

  In reply to RightPolitically.

  This is a prime example of a critical deficiency in the average American’s evaluation of politicians – the preference of style over substance.
