  • As I was reading your post – I would have bet that you had read Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm. Those books were required reading when I was in high school (early ’70′s). They should be required reading NOW! (FOR EVERYONE)

  • Thomas Jefferson forsaw JUDICIAL TYRANNY – Where it was heading and that it would be an all out assult on our Constitution. And, here we are.

  • The real story here is the Karl Rove factor. He has started a new fund raising group – the comically-named “Conservative Victory Project”. It is run by Steven Law, head of American Crossroads and former Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY). It’s yet another example of the Republican establishment’s hostility toward its conservative base. IN OTHER WORDS . . . If this group backs a candidate – do your homework! Personally, I’m hoping for a STRONG Libertarian movement real soon!

  • This is the sentence that JUMPED out at me while reading the story

    “When police EVENTUALLY arrived at the Las Vegas home . . .”

    People need to realize, when SECONDS count, the police will be there in minutes. That’s not a slam on the police – that’s just a fact.

  • Now, what God is he speaking of? The one that I worship doesn’t agree with killing babies.

  • WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Now THAT quote appears to be some pretty dangerous and hateful rhetoric – full of violent, toxic imagery: “with a gun at the head of the American people.” (No, I’m not really that thin skinned. But, I laugh thinking what the headlines would have been if a Republican would have uttered those words!) Did THAT GUY just manage to bring up the gun debate while speaking about the debt ceiling?

  • Soros funded the PAC that started this controversy – American Bridge PAC. Did Akin start the mess – yes- by voicing his beliefs. I (a woman) felt like a previous poster – I understood what he was saying and was not offended in any way. Apparently American Bridge PAC had targeted Akin with watchdogs just waiting for any kind of word slip that would give them a platform to to promote McCaskill. The “old guard” Republicans did not want Akin in the Senate and they foolishly jumped on board. If Akin loses this race – it is not his fault – it’sthe fault of Karl Rove and his ilk. Akin’s and McCaskill’s voting records and leanings are starkly different! And seriously, if his conservative record is over-shadowed due to this ONE statement – then you (anyone calling themselves a conservative) weren’t a conservative to begin with. Karl Rove CRAP like this has made me distance myself from the Republican Party. In the mean time – conservatives (from Missouri) have helped to elect Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Lee, etc. – so do your part (from where you are) and help Akin win this race.

  • I think that you hit the nail on the head!

  • Or . . . was he saying legitimate – as in, WAS IT REALLY RAPE rather than – I would feel better about having this abortion if I convince myself that it wasn’t consentual sex? I’m not sure what he meant. But for all that started SCREECHING – he has offered clarification. (“I made that statement in error. Let me be clear: rape is never legitimate; it’s an evil act that’s committed by violent predators. “I used the wrong words in the wrong way. What I said was ill-conceived and it was wrong, and for that, I apologize.”)

    I’ve checked Akin’s record and he is very conservative. I have no problem with that – you know where he stands and how he’s going to vote and the November election will decide his fate in Missouri. What I do have a problem with, is how quickly THE PARTY is willing to throw him under a bus for the sake of “winning”. PARTY members from all over the country are weighing in and telling him to step down. Makes me think that the PARTY expected a different candidate to win the primary?

  • Only a liberal could make the “jump” from a rifle to a SCUD missle. Kind of like when they make that “jump” of taxing those awful MILLIONARES that earn $250K.

    I’ve heard a few interviews with actors explaining how they PREPARE for roles – in order to BECOME that person and I actually find it pretty creepy. How do they DE-PROGRAM? Hummm . . . Do they FOREVER hear all those voices in their heads? Sounds like an occupation that could lead to some serious mental problems!

    I’m begging you BLAZE – please don’t write another story about Hollywood’s opinion – most of us DON’T CARE!
