  • I know it’s easy to get all wound up in the technicalities, but I don’t see a problem with the Marine. He’s not walking around, so he doesn’t need to salute anyone and he’s holding the umbrella for someone else, not himself. That being said, I saw a picture of Queen Elizabeth holding her own umbrella, so King Obama can do the same.

  • WHO’s money????

  • This is EXACTLY what my daughter’s history teacher was doing in her history class. She was getting these packets she was supposed to do and I tried to help her figure them out, but what the packet was labeled was different than what the assignment was labeled in the gradebook and I couldn’t figure out what she was missing and help her catch up. I asked her how often her teacher actually stood in front of the class and taught and she said about once a month! This guy stopped teaching a long time ago, but was still coming to the classroom and still collecting a paycheck because he was also the football coach. He finally retired the year after he had my daughter.

  • Do you know how many levels of “speaking English” there are? At what point can someone “speak English?” Well enough to buy something at the store? Well enough to discuss a crime? Well enough to give a dissertation on microbiology? Learning a language is an ongoing process (even for native speakers) and there is no magic point at which you can stamp his forehead and say “Now you can speak English.” Even if he learns to speak English better than you can, he will probably always have an accent and you will always question if he is here illegally. Our local community college has a Business English teacher who is a stickler for perfection and knows the English language forwards, backwards, and inside-out. When you take her class you will know how to write a professional business letter. But she will always speak with an accent because she is from Russia.

  • Attention The Blaze: I am a 2nd Amendment supporter, but for some reason I find your stock pictures of a gun barrel pointed directly at the camera (me!) to be disturbing. I would prefer it if you used other pictures.

  • He needs to thank the eavesdropper for the scholarship. :-)

  • I was subbing at a public high school in Iowa today and I want to tell you there *is* hope for the future. I overheard some seniors talking about a gun debate in another class and they were quoting some really stupid arguments against guns made by their teacher. They all thought that teacher was an idiot. I told them I was proud of them for their stance against gun control and to keep it up. They were surprised that I was a conservative and very pleased about it.

  • It is amazing the number of college students who think they are “all that.” That’s what happens when we have a situation where everybody goes to college regardless of whether they really need to or not. What’s her name so I can be sure not to hire her.

  • The Native Americans weren’t the only ones disarmed by the government. In the 1830′s and 40′s the government insisted on disarming the Mormons and promised that things would settle down once they turned in all their firearms. As soon as they did, the mobbers attacked the Mormons. And I’m sure there are other examples of other groups that were disarmed “for their own good” and then bad things happened to them. Let everyone take care of themselves! By the way I am a legal citizen of the Cherokee Nation and I thought the sign made a good point.

  • That’s the stupidest comment I have ever read.
