• Confidential Justice Department Memo: Drone Strikes on American Citizens OK if…

  February 5, 2013 at 12:20am

  If you want to find something the majority of Americans can agree upon, check out some of the more liberal sites and the comments there. People are slowly realizing how sketchy both parties really are when it comes to following the laws and protecting the rights of citizens.

  You want a better country, start finding things that the vast majority can agree upon and start coming at politicians from both sides. In the end, you’ll realize big money is serving its own interest and using up the reputation of the United States, while we fight a war against any other country to make sure that other countries will trade their resources to us. American interests overseas is a term now that means way of businesses to avoid foreign political risk. In effect, we’re saying we’re all about freedom, as long as it benefits our country.

• NBC’s Matt Lauer Can’t Contain Disgust With Robert Gibbs Over Big Bird Ad: ‘Ideas and Solutions’ or Just Trying to ‘Get Attention’?

  October 10, 2012 at 9:15am

  Just remember the line that I remember hearing all the time as a child watching PBS, “This show is made possible by generous support by viewers like you.”

  You could eliminate government funding for PBS and Sesame Street will live on because parents want a television show they can have their young children watch and maybe learn something through. People will donate money for good programming. The Democrats by trying to use Sesame Street for political gain are going to lose votes. Ignoring the wishes of those in charge of Sesame Street is also not a good idea either. Overall, the ad sounds like a terrible joke, like someone wanted to add humor and seriousness to the same ad. They literally saw the number of people making tweets about the Big Bird issue and decided that those few (in percentage) people represented the general public as a whole.

• Ever Wonder How You Become a Convention Delegate? Here’s a Primer on the Selection Process

  August 28, 2012 at 11:45am

  In reply to contkmi.

  Just look up the news about Maine’s delegates. Criticize the rules all you want, but Ron Paul supporters became nearly all the delegates, only to have the RNC decide to eliminate half of those delegates and replace them with Romney backers. This after an extremely questionable caucus setup in which certain areas weren’t even counted.

• How Much Has the Tea Party Infiltrated the GOP Convention? More Than You Might Think

  August 28, 2012 at 10:12am

  The Tea Party at it’s core is about smaller government. However, politician after politician latched onto it and added their own spin from the religious right to even attempts by big government politicians. What it actually resembles now is a Republican cheerleading squad cheering on the younger politicians believing they are going to be the hope and change of the Republican Party.

  But by all means, keep thinking that if you are Tea Party that you’re different than the Bush types. Chances are you might be, but the people on each side of you are not.

• Award-Winning Actress Goes on Late-Night Twitter Rampage Against Conservatives, Jon Lovitz

  Long live the President? She does realize that the statement she just made was a line that dealt with monarchs, right?

• Rick Santorum’s Big Announcement

  June 8, 2012 at 8:06pm

  How long before he starts trouble for Romney? He can be the Republican Bill Clinton.

• ‘You Can’t Be Moral & Believe in God’?: Penn Jillette Sits Down with The Blaze — and Credits Glenn Beck

  June 5, 2012 at 4:28pm

  Best thing to take out of this is that Jillette may not believe in a higher power but he believes in doing what’s good. He’s pointing out that rather than making people do good because they fear the outcome if they don’t, that we teach our children to be good because it benefits everyone including ourselves.

  In general, religion has been the most structured way to pass down the behaviors that we have found to best benefit society. Without it, you may not have seen such a standard set of moral beliefs passed down through generations. With it, however, you get a structure of power that can be used by the leaders to benefit themselves rather than society as a whole.

  It doesn’t take a particular religion to have a person be a good person and people should be more open to others who do not share the same religious beliefs but are genuinely good people who can listen to differences between beliefs and agree to disagree but accept each other.

• ‘Kill the Gay’: Lesbian Couple Charged After Allegedly Faking Hate Crime

  May 20, 2012 at 10:58am

  Innocent until proven guilty, but if they did try to make themselves out as victims, all they have done is hurt the respect of those who are truly dealing with hate crimes. Sometimes there are the questionable “hate crime” designations, but there are definitely times when it is warranted.

• Cher Goes on Twitter Rant Against Romney & His ‘Racist Homophobic Women-Hating Tea-Bagger Masters’

  May 8, 2012 at 11:19am

  Probably want to fix that spelling error in the first sentence. It’s disdain, not distain.

• Maine Gov. Talks Tough With Able-Bodied Unemployed: ‘Get Off the Couch and Get a Job!’

  May 8, 2012 at 8:46am

  In reply to Cataclysm.

  Not hard to look good when the previous Governor and legislators acted like beggars to the federal government most of the time. But yes, the real lefties hate that they voted for the Democrat who had no shot and as a result their second choice lost to LePage. More amusing is that if you use that same 61% logic, then the last governor would have had bumper stickers saying 62% all over the cars of Republicans.
