…And you turned a blind eye to Bush’s domestic spying, as liberals (as they are doing now) complained about it. I don’t care about her, or the media in general.. but its a bigger issue that for people like you the issue here, isn’t what is being done, but who is doing it.

The Firearms Statistics That Gun Control Advocates Don’t Want to See

Most of the industrialized world has tough gun laws and much lower murder rates….. I’m not sure if you can say “gun control has never worked” its currently working in most advanced nations around the world. (and honestly I don’t really care one way or the other about gun laws — im just saying your comment is factually incorrect)

Anyone can massage stats to say whatever they want… why compare CA to TX.. compare CA per capita to Louisiana — a state with very loose gun laws but also they lead the national in murders per capita…Its just as easy to say yes Washington DC has very high murder per capita and also strict gun laws but also you have states like Lousiana, Missouri, South Carolina, New Mexico, NV, MS, TN which make up 7 of the 11 worst states murder per capita wise and ALL have extremely loose gun laws and high gun ownership.

Or compare lets say Illinois to Texas… Illlinois has lower murders per capita than Texas. Hawaii has some of the strictest gun laws in the country their murders per capita are about 1/5th of Texas’

I’m not sure if “look at the stats” is a good argument for or against gun control, because for every “look this state has lots of murders and tough gun laws” its just as easy to counter “well this state has loose gun laws and tons of murders” and visa versa
Mind-Boggling Details Emerge About Ricin Letter Suspect: ‘I’m on the Hidden Front Lines of a Secret War’

The guy sounds like a nutjob same as anyone who is dumb enough to try to type cast him to fit their agenda… he sent to a Democrat and Republican, claimed to be a Christian who opposed gun laws… you can put him any group you want if you’re trying to attack and push a political agenda.. however the only accurate one would be “crazy person”. I don’t think he’s representative of Democrats, Republicans, gun lovers, Christians or anyone else

Is your question is serious question? I had to go look up my password for this site, just to log on and reply to you. Do you think the “well off” have secret money trees? Bill Gates, the richest man in America, made money because he created a product and sold it — a majority of his customers are the “not so well off”, same with.. owners of walmart,, uhm Steve Jobs’ Apple, etc.. very few people get rich because of the rich, most get rich because they have customers. ,most of which are not rich.

So a guy who has opposed Obama since 2008, supports the fair tax, and generally supports Republicans — was totally decimated by Paul Krugman, (and I think Krugman is an idiot — thats how big of a joke this guy is) in an economic debate (because he is a HISTORIAN not an economist) wrote an article about what economic policies he thinks are a good idea?

Why is that front page news? The guy has written for newsweek for a while now. He’s been anti-Obama for years.

I don’t get the blazes obsession with trying to sound the fire alarm where there isn’t even smoke, why try to twist the article into something it isn’t (“liberal” newsweek turning on Obama – thye aren’t they’ve always had conservatives write articles) instead of focusing on what it is, a reasonable article about his failures.

Is GM Really Going to Go Bankrupt Again?

In reply to Edohiguma.

Toyota was bailed out, and GM overtook toyota as number 1 last year and in fact VW passed Toyota as well (now I don’t know about sales numbers this year, however last year GM beat out Toyota) — this op-ed incorrectly focuses on the US market share, ignoring the fact that GM dominates in China, and in western Europe.
Is GM Really Going to Go Bankrupt Again?

How did I know I could count on the blaze to write about what is probably the single most widely mocked economic based article of the week. This is quoted direct from Forbes’ own auto industry guy:

Forbes contributor Louis Woodhill must deserve some sort of special recognition for his thinly-argued op-ed contribution forecasting an early second demise of GM.
…
The fact that he would focus on GM’s admittedly-lower US market share as a harbinger of impending doom demonstrates the most profound lack of understanding of the vehicle business. Product strength is only one component in the market share equation. Other elements affecting share are transaction prIces, marketing spend, and propensity to make share-enhancing, low-profit sales to daily rental fleets.
…
And all of this US-centric analysis completely misses the point that GM’s strength is in its global reach, demonstrated foremost by its huge, and profitable, success in China, a market that is in the process of dwarfing the US in size. GM is very well positioned in Latin America and the former Eastern Block.
…
GM is profitable and enjoys a positive cash flow.
…
To suggest that a cash-rich, profitable company with these characteristics is about to go under is, to me, “fatuous twaddle”. Mr. Woodhill should have done better.

(the … being where I edited stuff out to stay under the character limit, but look up “Chicken Little’s Second GM Bankruptcy: The Gold Medal For Silly Op-Ed Pieces” on
