  • “FOX lies” is easy to say. Funny, though, how even when you ask, the person crying foul cannot/will not give a single example. The common remark–”Well, there’s too many to choose from.” Then pick one and tell me where they lied.

  • It’s not owning a gun that makes you manly or not. It’s the clear mind to want to be able to defend your family in the most effective way possible that makes you a man. Baseball bats are fine only as long as the offender doesn’t have a gun. He could shoot you from 10-15 feet away–well out of range of the trusty, rusty baseball bat. I’m proudly armed and I would rather stand out of reach of the attacker and give him the opportunity to meet his maker, than to sit there ard come within arms reach so I can hit him with a stick.

  • That’s a polite way of putting it. You’re far kinder than I am.

  • What? And corroborate a story? Such a ridiculous act is beneath them. What do you expect from the city that gave us Jerry Springer, Rod Blagojavich, Eric Holder, and Obama? Obviously your standards too high.

  • All this Hostess crap is simple, undeniable truth that unions don’t don’t give a cr*p about the companies that employ their members. All they want, like nearly half of this nation, is stuff–in this case more and more money and benefits–financial health of the company be damned. Unions have become too powerful and THEY are responsible for tens of thousands losing their jobs and untold number of companies folding or thinking about it. I think it’s time for them to go.

  • When I was in high school, 1990-1994, we had a prayer club at school. Very shortly after we initiated the club our principle demanded that we disband. After a phone call to the Library of Congress and a conversation with a helpful and knowledgable staff member, I learned that the principle’s orders to cancel the club were illegal. It turns out that if a school has any club, student body government, debate team, or football team, that that same school must allow a prayer club. The prayer club must be afforded all rights as other sanctioned school clubs and teams. It also turns out that any media the other clubs are allowed to use, be it morning announcements, flyers, posters, and banners, then the prayer club must also be allowed to use that same media. The staff member I talked to made a copy of the applicable federal laws, about 6-8 pages worth, and sent them to me free of charge. I presented the papers to the principle and he had no choice but to allow us to reassemble our prayer club *NOTE that there are certain rules that a legitimate prayer club must follow. It must be non-denominational. It must be led by a student elected by other club members. School staff may participate, but may NOT lead the club or the meetings. The club cannot reject anyone in the school from joinining. So it stands to reason that if other groups may present banners at a football game, it would be illegal to prohibit religious posters, flyers, or banners.

  • So I wonder how the the Republicans are responsible for killing the economy over the last 4 years when 2 out of the last 3 years the Democrats ruled all 3 branches of government. The Dems are the ones responsible for killing the economy. Let’s get this @ss out of office and get someone with a touch more sense in there.

  • Personally I don’t believe in premarital sex. It’s destroying our youth. But their argument to that would be that what they do in their bedroom is none of my business. In that case, my business (a.k.a momey) has no place in their bedroom.

  • I think they’re simply trying to cut down on the need for pumping criminals full of lead. Less controversary. Better to develop these things when there is little/no need than to wait for a good reason and then take years to get a working model. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t put anything past the O-adminstration and OWS people, but I really don’t think there is anything nefarious about this.

  • I don’t understand the opposition that I’ve been seeing here. Why are we constantly trying to “not harm” those that mean us harm? If the assailant’s vision is affected long term, maybe those little lights he sees in his field of vision for the rest of life will act as a reminder of why he shouldn’t act stupid. The fear that there is some sort of nefarious reason the gov’t has for developing non-lethal weapons is ridiculous. While I don’t trust the gov’t one bit, I do believe they are trying to avoid controversy by simply deterring someone from doing a crime rather than simply pumping them full of lead.
