• Judge Napolitano Discusses Petraeus Scandal With Beck: The Administration Is Willing to Throw Good People Under the Bus

  November 16, 2012 at 3:12am

  In reply to gradstudent.

  How this country fought the Revolutionary War to a relatively short time later fighting another so that we could tell other people what to do and not to do is beyond me. Though, at least Lincoln understood 1 person = 1 person and it is wrong to own any fraction of a person)
  The video doesn’t seem to go with the headline or story, but I’ll ask, in re the story, where was this outrage when Clinton was being impeached for an affair (Newt was having one of his own and Beck was calling the wife of a competitor and mocking her for having a miscarriage)? I’ve said before here and I’ll say it again, there are good ideas on the conservative side, but if y’all keep saying that you want to go back to this or back to that you all are gong to continue to lose. Obama won because even if people don’t know where they are going they know that they don’t want to backwards (especially not 200+ years).

  This has to be one of the crazier segments I’ve seen Beck do. The Founders were “intellectual giants?” They couldn’t recognize the fact that 1 black man was just that, one man and not 3/5s of man. They couldn’t recognize that people shouldn’t be allowed to own other people. They couldn’t recognize that women have brains and the same unalienable rights granted to them that men do. And these are his heroes? The times he wants to go back to? No thanks say I and the majority of the country. He calls Obama a tyrant and then proceeds to tell you all that only 1/3 of the country wanted to rebel from England. 1/3 of the population though that they knew more what was best for the remaining 2/3 and went ahead and did as they pleased. And did they staff their army with the 1/3 that wanted independence? No, Washington conscripted men, from the 2/3s of people who didn’t want a war, to fight and die for what he and the Founders had decided was best for them. If Obama did that now you all would riot. This paragon of freedom, George Washington, passed the Second Militia Act of 1792 which FORCED all men TO BUY products so that they could again be forced to fight should Washington deem it needed (that’s called an individual mandate for those in Rio Linda). Beck wants to go back to states being allowed to do what they want when they want? Talk to Lincoln about it, he’s the one that fought a war so that that couldn’t happen (a war I don’t agree with b the way … cont

• This May Be The Worst Congressional Sex Scandal You Read About

  TheTreyMan, no the conservatives don’t legislate often legislate morality, well unless you count the s0d0my laws that were on the books for centuries, the many laws dictating who can marry who, the attempt to dictate what a woman can do with her own body, the laws preventing terminally ill people from doing what they want to with their lives…shall I go on? As a democrat, so long as corporate America behaves dangerously (see BP oil spill, Massey mine disaster, the smog in and around cities like Los Angeles before CAFE standards and emissions laws, read The Jungle and tell me we don’t need the FDA, look up the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and tell me we don’t need regulations) I will advocate making them do so, because when they don’t the can affect all of us and the Invisible Hand just has never done a good enough job.
  But, for the sake of this argument I should have specified “preaching moral behavior and morality itself. Mea culpa.

  If it turns out that Obama did indeed leave those men to di3 for no good reason and thus was counter to his statement I will cry foul as well. However, I see no evidence yet that that is the case. I do not believe that a random reporter got a secret e-mail that no one else got and if Glenn Beck told me that the sky is blue I’d have to go outside and check. I’ll wait for the conclusions of the multiple investigations and hearings.

  Because as usual, it’s not the behavior but the hypocrisy that outrages people. This is why Democratic “scandals” are rarely as big a deal, because we are liberal (read: we don’t spend half of every day telling everyone else how they should or shouldn’t live their lives). No one would care a lick if this guy hadn’t condemned abortion while convincing his wife to have two. I couldn’t have cared less about Larry Craig had not been anti-homosexual. Do you see where I’m going with this? Hypocrisy and cover-up will get attention every time.

• Beck Discusses Israel’s Future: ‘The World Is at War’

  November 15, 2012 at 8:38pm

  In reply to Icebox.

  Yeah, Politi ’cause the 11 month-old child of the BBC reporter messed with Israel a bunch. So must have been Mohammed Aaraj, the 6 year old who was eating a sandwich when he was shot at close range, or Jamil and Ahmed Abu Aziz who were riding their bikes when an Israeli tank shell k177ed them both, 13 and 6 years-old respectively. And I can go on and on and on. Sure, you’ll answer that “rockets rain down on Israel.” To which I say, lets arm the Palestinians with the same level of sophisticated weapons that we do Israel and then we can complain about random k177ings. Until, then I will continue to call for sanctions against Israel and a breaking of our country’s relations with them until they seek peace in earnest.

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

  In reply to LindaTea.

  Except I live in New Mexico and we have trees all over the place. And they are not just trees planted by people. We have pinon trees that people actually eat the nuts from. We have fir trees. We have oak trees. Etc. But good job being completely misinformed.

• Pot and Amnesty: Rand Paul’s Surprising New Agenda For the GOP

  quick addendum: I heard a caller on the Geraldo radio show say that perhaps we could find a way to put Romney in charge of fixing Mexico. I’m not sure how he would get the authority to do so, but I’ve heard crazier ideas in my life.

• Pot and Amnesty: Rand Paul’s Surprising New Agenda For the GOP

  A poster named Happy… ASked what is so hard about coming in through the “front door.” Well, namely that it takes $10,000 and a decade (and that’s if you are married to a US citizen) or you have to literally win a lottery and then find all of that money to pay for it. If you and your children were near starving and living in a quasi-narco state would you stay there or would cross an imaginary line and enter a society where you didn’t have to fear the cops just as much as the guys beheading people? I’m a law abiding person, but I’d cross that line. We will never be able to stem illegal immigration until people do not fear for their lives staying in their own country. I don’t understand why someone hasn’t proposed going to war with Mexico. We “liberate” countries across the globe, but ignore our neighbors? Unlike Iraq, I think the people of Mexico would welcome us. I don’t think that war should ever be the first option, but what other option is there? The Mexican government is corrupt and useless. The lack of a Second Amendment has left the people unable to liberate themselves. I don’t want to say that it would be an easy war, no war is, but being so close logistics would be a snap, the cartels have no foreign government backing them, the majority of the people would assist us, etc. Not only would we be spreading the freedom people think we should but we would actually benefit from a free and prosperous Mexico. Just throwing the idea out there, catch it if you want

• Is The Tea Party Too Full of ‘Rage’? Peggy Noonan Thinks So

  November 12, 2012 at 3:20am

  In reply to DadRocked.

  continued: I will readily admit that the OWS crowd is disgusting and that they Pelosi et al lauding them was ridiculous. They are not my heroes and they shouldn’t be anyone’s. I think that the only way this country will ever again be united is if we all sit down and take a good long look at ourselves and our country. We need to admit that this country has done wrong, that we have done wrong, but that none of us are evil for believing what we believe (though it is evil to profit from those differences by instilling a fear of them and then selling “safety”). But, that’s not going to happen, not when compromise, on either side, is now a bad word.

  p.s. I was taught that the original Tea Party was not so much about how much the colonists were being taxed, but more about taxation without representation. I, like I imagine many of you, feel that we again lack proper representation. Were I to start a political party or revolution the largest, so to say, planck in my platform would be campaign finance reform. Stop the politicians representing lobbyists and donors and they will be able to represent us. I can’t for the life of me understand why people from both sides, liberal and conservative, have not united under this cause. But, that’s just my two cents worth.
