• Bill Maher on Benghazi: ‘I Still Don’t Know What the Scandal Is’

  May 12, 2013 at 3:28pm

  In reply to stevetherealist.

  He got us out of Iraq and Afhanistan by withdrawing troops four years after he took over. He did not negotiate a peaceful end, nor did he “win” either war, nor did he negotiate the ability to stay on as peacekeepers or have any impact. I could have ended any war by doing what he did – just walk away.. Obamacare was shoved through by him and his minions (mostly his minions) and it looks like it will be a “train wreck” according to Dems. Recession was over three years ago and still unemployment is extremely high, we are printing money like it is candy, more on welfare/foodstamps other gov programs.
  Regarding Benghazi – He and the state dept (Hillary? or atleast Hillary’s people) decided to withdraw protection even when they were told by those on the ground and CIA that trouble was brewing. After the attack they refused to send help and even told those getting on a plane to “stand down”. O has no right to be commander in chief if he is willing to leave our citizens to be killed without trying to send protection. If he had no involvement in that decision because he was too busy in LV fundraising, he should be removed for dereliction of duty. That is the commander’s job to figure out how to protect our citizens either by making decisions or making sure State Dept was on top of this. Someone changed the talking points to take out references to terrorism even though the State Dept and those on the ground immediately said it was a terrorist attack.

• ‘F**king Religious Idiots’: The CraigsList Ad (and Promotion) That Just Has to Be Seen to Be Believed

  In reply to ChildOfTheKing.

  childoftheking, do you really think she was fired for being an atheist? As you said, that is illegal but it sure is a good line that they can use to cover her failures. I would love to know why she was fired, real story, and how the yard sale worked out. Also, how that life in CA works out? If you hate SC, you will probably hate CA for other reasons. Be happy where you are planted.

• Woman Severely Disfigured in Chemical Attack Reveals Replacement Face

  In reply to ImMadAsHell.

  You are kidding about Saudi Arabia, right? They would support a man’s right to kill or maim his wife if he thought she was cheating on him.
  Better to send him to Texas women’s prison and let them show him what they think.

• L.A. Politicians Move to Block Sale of Newspaper to Koch Brothers — Say it Would Be the ‘End of Journalism’

  May 2, 2013 at 4:36pm

  In reply to OasisOfReason.

  Interesting that all the left leaning newspapers are going out of business because people do not want to read their bs but this left leaning council thinks they have to prevent owners with different opinions from owning a newspaper. What ever happened to the idea that the public will decide what businesses to support? If the Koch brothers do not uphold journalistic standards, the newspaper will fail. End of problem without government trying to stiffle free speech.
  Time for the gov to get out of our business.

• Embarrassing? Obama Shoots 22 Baskets — But Can You Guess How Many He Actually Made?

  April 2, 2013 at 6:42pm

  In reply to Snaker.

  shaq commented after playing ball with the POTUS, that he could only dribble with one hand. What? That is an elementary skill. After Shaq said it he looked embarrassed that the information had slipped out. From this video, he can not even shoot with one hand. But, he would have made them all if Bush had not put a force field over the basket – er, er maybe it was Chaney that brought his oil buddies to block the shots er, er, imagine what would have happened if he had not shot the basketball, etc etc.

• Starbucks CEO Tells Shareholders to Invest Elsewhere if They Don’t Like Company’s Stance on Gays

  March 25, 2013 at 4:32pm

  In reply to joeschmo.

  I appreciate his candor and his desire to run the company as he sees fit. I also respect that those not liking his stance can invest – and buy coffee – elsewhere. That should be how our country operates. FREE market means free.
  BTW, Don’t go to coffee shops and don’t really have a strong opinion on gay marriage. Do not want it taught in the schools but I also think parents have some responsibility in what is taught to their kids. Pick your schools carefully and then supplement at home.

• Cyprus Has Been Bailed Out: Here’s What You Need to Know

  March 25, 2013 at 4:18pm

  In reply to tharpdevenport.

  I read somewhere that they were going to “nationalize” the retirement accounts. What happened to that proposal? That is what I fear most in the US. The MSM keeps blabing about how old people are swindled out of their savings and something should be done to prevent that. Then I hear that the gov could manage those accounts so the old will not get swindled. The gov never manages anything – they just take what they want and you wake up with nothing left but empty promises.
  Anyway, is Cyprus planning to nationalize retirements?

• Armed 70-Year-Old Women’s Basketball Coach Shoots Attackers While Walking Two Players to Their Cars

  February 3, 2013 at 10:22am

  In reply to Ceefour.

  DA mugger thought he was in a “gun free school zone” so it was OK to pull a gun on others. Guess he learned a lesson a little too late. We need more guns in “gun free zones” to stop this stuff.

• ‘Unpatriotic’? Arabic Pledge of Allegiance Recitation at Colo. High School Sparks Controversy

  January 31, 2013 at 2:01pm

  In reply to zoro51.

  I love the way immigrants come to the US because we have freedom. They then demand that they be given quotas and special privileged so they can equally compete. Their next step is to demand that they be allowed to retain their own culture from their past country. Wait a minute, if you want to keep the culture and laws from your old country, why do you come to the US? We used to be a melting pot. Now no one wants to lose their culture so we are a country of competing ideas and cultures speaking in different tongues making us way too divided.

• ‘Worst Day of My Presidency’: Recalling Sandy Hook Massacre, Obama Vows to Put ‘Full Weight’ Behind Gun Control Legislation

  December 31, 2012 at 8:33am

  In reply to 1776freedomofspeech.

  Too bad O sees this as his worst day yet considered the four murdered Americans in Benghazi a “bump in the road”. He had no control over the sad shooting at Sandy Hook but was totally responsible for Benghazi. While we are all deeply upset by the shooting at Sandy Hook, I, personally, would be much more upset about a massacre that I had a hand in creating.
  Is he really that calloused or is this another chance to just draw the attention away from O’s mistakes and try to get the sheeples focus on something else?
