• Al Gore Calls the NRA a ‘Complete Fraud,’ But Al Jazeera Is ‘High Quality, Honest-To-Goodness News’

  March 11, 2013 at 12:38am

  It is a shame that those who make disparaging comments about Al Jazeera haven’t taken the time to actually watch a few of its news shows. Frankly, it is heads and shoulders above anything we offer here in the U.S. When I first started watching (via the Internet as my cable provider doesn’t carry them) I was quite surprised at their broad coverage and at its quality and objectivity. To some extent it is what CNN should be. It isn’t entertainment, iti s news. Like real news, it is sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s real. Try it, you’ll be surprised: http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/

• Texas Gun Shop Owner Easily Refutes Biden’s Claim That an AR-15 Is Harder to Aim, Use Than a ’12-Gauge Shotgun’

  I meant to add – you are also less likely to be killing your neighbors by accident because of the rapid degradation of velocity of buckshot vs. bullets.

  There are no 100 round magazines for 12 gauge shotguns. – most have just five or six shots. And frankly for home defense, the 12 or 10 gauge shotgun is far better than any assault rifle knock-off. Even a .410 will do a better job as one 3 inch cartridge holds five 00 buckshot any one of which can be lethal. One doesn’t need to be a Rambo to protect one’s home.

• Defense Secretary: The Sequester Will Likely Force Us to Furlough 800K Civilian Workers

  In reply to Diane TX.

  If this was being done methodically we could do far more reduction – what we are doing is utterly irrational. I’d much rather see us shoot for a DoD budget reduction of 10% per year for six years. We’d wind up with a very strong but much leaner military..

  Amen to that. If we are unwilling to compromise, then our goose is cooked.

  The original sequestration bill had only cuts of programs that the Democrats liked. To ensure that the Republicans had skin in the game too, the White House insisted that the Department of Defense be given an equal opportunity to suffer.
  Unfortunately, there is no one in charge of the Republicans in the House and there is a Kamikazi faction that likes the idea of us all becoming martyrs to their cause, so there seems no one in Congress trying to avoid this and no one for the White House to talk to or negotiate with. Feels a lot like a Third World country, doesn’t it?

• Pakistani Brothers Arrested in Fla. for Plotting to Obtain and Use Weapon of Mass Desruction Against Americans

  Given the Muslim preoccupation with cleanliness, it is odd that you could claim that they never bathe. Perhaps you haven’t enquired as to the religion of the people whom you move away from. One shouldn’t demonstrate one’s ignorance in public.

  Are people who suggest violating our Constitution and ignoring the fundamental pact that makes America strong our enemies. I submit that they are and that you fit that description.

  You have no idea of what you are talking about, apparently. 1,042,625 persons received permanent resident status in 2011. Your number isn’t even one-tenth of that number. In my state about nineteen percent of the population is foreign-born. Thank goodness for that because these are the folks who will be paying for our Social Security because we have such a low birth rate.

  How did you come to that conclusion? It’s completely at variance with the known facts.
