• Canadian Mom on Mission to Get City to Chop Down Oak Trees…Because They Threaten Kids’ Allergies & Can Be Used to ‘Bully & Torment’

  November 15, 2012 at 1:18pm

  Another danger is the deer (or moose) hanging around those trees when the acorns drop, and attacking the kids during mating season. Or, school bus/moose collisions.

• Is It Time for the GOP to Abandon Social Conservatism?

  November 9, 2012 at 3:00pm

  You can’t just put this on blacks and hispanics. There is a growing voting block of young, less educated whites who did not grow up in a traditional family unit. Whatever news they get are from entertainment media or the sports section, and are so caught up in their lifestyles (including addiction to their cell phones) they are ignorant of reality. Add to that the number of potential Republican voters who stayed at home. I believe a good number of those were evangelicals who didn’t vote because they refused to vote for a Mormon. The Republicans need to change to a more libertarian stance, one in which fiscal responsibility, along with freedom and personal choice is emphasized, while advising those who make bad choices that the taxpayers are not going to bail them out.

• Read Bill Ayers’ Post-Election Open Letter to Obama Offering Congrats & Imploring Him to Bolster Public Education

  November 9, 2012 at 2:45pm

  I wonder if there is any retired cop who had a chance to take Ayers out when he was conducting his terrorist activities who is regretting that he didn’t.

• Hannity Warns Americans Who Voted for Obama: ‘You Get the Government You Deserve… Good Luck With That’

  In reply to JimCS.

  Jefferson: I partially agree with you that the GOP needs to take a more libertarian stance, one that emphasizes freedom with personal responsibility and which shrinks the federal government. I tend to believe Mitt Romney would have done the same thing if he governed by the principles the Mormon Church teaches, because a large part of what that Church teaches has a lot to do with what it calls “free agency”, which means everybody has a choice, and they will be responsible for the choices they make.

• Trump Calls for ‘Revolution’ After Obama Win: We Are in ‘Serious And Unprecedented Trouble…Like Never Before’

  November 7, 2012 at 2:58pm

  Trump is an egotistical blowhard, and he’s wrong about this country being a democracy (never was) and he’s wrong about the Electoral College (if it wasn’t for that GW Bush would not have won the 2000 elections) but I agree that some form of revolution is needed. The question is what form should it take and what will be the tipping point. However, the demographics in this country have changed over the last 30 years. We have a much larger immigrant population (some legal, others not) who vote, and there is a younger, less educated population who probably was not taught economics or American history in high school. They get their news from Entertainment Tonight, and they probably have their phones continually attached to their heads or some other body part. Personally none of this is going to affect me that much, except for hyper-inflation. I am almost 60 with health issues, but I feel sorry for anyone under 30 who is trying to play by the rules.

• ‘Deadly Force’: TX Trooper Kills 2 During Car Chase With Vehicle Suspected of Carrying Illegals

  In reply to randy.

  After that, then what? What should we do with the enablers in this country: The politicians and public officials who are benefiting from illegal drugs and especially the users who are providing the market? I mean, the users may be killing themselves, but they’re doing it slowly.

• New O’Keefe Video Shows Dem. Congressman’s Son Apparently Advising How to Commit Voter Fraud (Updated)

  October 24, 2012 at 4:16pm

  Guys, don’t lump Virginia into any of this. Jim Moran’s district is Fairfax Co. While that’s within Virginia’s borders, culturally it’s DC. Being one of the wealthiest counties in the US, it also has a lot of northern transplants who didn’t check their ideology when they moved across state lines.

• ‘Emptying it Out Any Way He Can’: Retired Special Forces Sgt. Blasts Obama Over Gitmo Detainee’s Transfer Back to Canada

  October 15, 2012 at 7:36pm

  There’s a rumor going around that some of the Gitmo inmates got transferred to Diego Garcia.

• NC University May Ban Chick-fil-A From Campus Over Gay Marriage Stance

  October 15, 2012 at 7:32pm

  Not a proud moment for my alma mater. This PC business started when the place got overrun with students from New Jersey and Conneticut. In my day, most of the studens came from North Carolina and Virginia.

• Huh? Madonna Calls Obama a ‘Black Muslim’ in Urging Concert-Goers to Vote for President

  September 26, 2012 at 5:21pm

  In reply to californiapatriotmom.

  Just another aging performer saying outrageous things to get attention and to stay relavent. However, Master and Commander has it right about the dumbing down. I work in an area that has the highest unemployment in Virginia, and it’s full of Obama supporters. Lot’s of public housing projects around that area, and many of those folks can tell you which NFL team won a certain Super Bowl or can recite one of Jay Z’s raps from 5 years ago, but they couldn’t identify their own state capital. Many of them are unemployable because of drugs, or lifestyle choices. The town I’m speaking of is the same place where Biden made his famous “putting you back in chains” comment.
