• Does Empowering the Military for Local Law Enforcement in Crisis Erode Civil Liberties?

  May 17, 2013 at 10:35pm

  As a former military officer, this alarms me beyond all mention! This makes no sense. If there were a local crisis that might benefit from military assistance (I cannot imagine one) and the President could not be contacted, then the governor would ask. The military commander should NEVER decide. This is contrary to our civil liberties and our traditions. Our military should never be used against citizens of our country within our own borders.

• The Scathing Speech That Just Got a Standing Ovation During the IRS Hearing

  May 17, 2013 at 1:39pm

  Thank you for sharing this. I have been watching the hearings all morning and near ‘nuf stood up and cheered when Mike Kelly was speaking. I was astonished when I heard the gallery applaud. Apparently some people really ARE awake! Congratulations, Pennsylvania, on electing a straight shooter!!!! (oops, a gun reference!)

• Wait Until You Hear Who the Turkish Prime Minister Reportedly Invited to Join His Entourage During U.S. Visit

  I think I am incapable of being shocked or surprised by anything this administration does…..

• Baby Dies After Man Allegedly Tricks Girlfriend Into Taking an Abortion Pill

  How is it murder if he gives her the pill but not murder if she intentionally takes it? The pro-choice crowd can’t have it both ways.

• Horrifying: Australian Woman Gang Raped in Dubai – Then Jailed 8 Months for Sex Outside Marriage

  Yes, the government of Dubai is nuts, but what the heck is wrong with the Australian consulate? Isn’t this exactly the type of situation we have them there to help with?

• Did Obama Cry While Answering Benghazi Questions During Press Conference?

  Pretty sure that was sweat. Or at least it should be. What a poser!

• Formerly Skeptical BBC Editor Changes Tune: Benghazi Is Now ‘Very Serious’ and ‘Heads Will Roll’

  May 10, 2013 at 6:44pm

  What a journalist – it took this to generate any curiosity on his part? It seems that most journalists long ago traded in their credentials for those of a propagandist.

• White House Holds Off-the-Record Meeting With Reporters on Benghazi

  May 10, 2013 at 2:30pm

  “off the record meeting” What does that even mean??? The most transparent administration in history? Really? Obama is so transparent that when he sits down, it looks like an empty chair!

• This Could Be the Weirdest Exchange from Wednesday’s Benghazi Hearing

  May 9, 2013 at 11:04am

  Thank you for highlighting this. I watched the entire hearig and this is what really struck me as the most bizarre moment. When my husband came home, I described it to him, saying that it came across as a creepy bribe. No one else seemed to be talking about it (as if anyone but the Blaze was covering the hearing anyway), so I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed. In addition, I thought the Democrats embarrassed themselves with their patronizing opening statements followed by their blatant politically slanted grandstanding by trying to blame the Benghazi tragedy on proposed budget cuts. And doing so with the families of the murdered men in the room. Disgusting.

• Why Liberals Think Being Educated Means Being Liberal

  April 26, 2013 at 11:55am

  Excellent article. Students today have learned that, whether they agree or not with a professor’s liberal teachings, they have to spout it back or face the consequences, which can include flunking a class. Unfortunately, many do not recognize the difference and accept the liberal viewpoint as fact rather than opinion. The theory is that college is the place where you can debate and explore different viewpoints. It is far from true.
