  • DANHOLLIS: “The republican party, which they SUPPORT, is LEFTIST, same as the democrat party. Have they EVER told THOSE truths?”
    You’re either kidding, or you have never listened to Beck. He castigates progressives in both parties. But he would never qualify to become a Libertarian because he has supported Republican candidates (“Are you, or have you ever been, a Republican?”), has at some point in his life supported drug laws, and has had some skepticism about Ron Paul’s foreign policy. So because Beck and thousands of others like him will never reach the lofty standards, the Libertarian ranks will remain tiny, and all the “L” elitists will continue to congratulate one another on their purity while criticizing all those who just aren’t *conservative* enough. Meanwhile, the country is being destroyed.

  • Beninny: “I’ve been finding more and more as a libertarian I’m being associated in other’s minds with silly things like the hysterics above.”
    Right on target. Libertarians with a capital “L” sometimes come across as picky, arrogant, elitist purists who think they are the only “true” conservatives. Some of them won’t work with others whose thinking might be evolving but who don’t quite measure up to the stringent “L” standard. They won’t budge an inch to give the benefit of the doubt. It’s good to see a Libertarian who recognizes that this damages the brand. The “L” party is not going anywhere until this changes.

  • Here’s what you, and others like you, don’t get: Yes, I’m elated that something might hinder a Hillary run. The fact that the bigger picture on Benghazi is serving it up on a platter is icing on the cake. But the point is “the bigger picture on Benghazi.” It’s about Benghazi, not Hillary. By the same token, I’m thrilled that something has happened to slow the Obama agenda. That’s not about hatred for the man or the woman, but about being sick (as in 105-degree, throwing-up-with-diarrhea-flu, sick) of having the liberal-progressive-left lies and agenda crammed down the country’s collective throat. So, yes, I’m thrilled that Obama’s and Hillary’s “chickens are coming home to roost.” That doesn’t change, one iota, the broader ramifications to America of what was done in Benghazi…the effects on those serving the country who now doubt whether the country has their backs, the sorrow of those who lost loved ones and those who are still recovering from injuries, the foreign policy implications, the broken trust between America’s leadership and her citizens, the questions about what was really going on there, etc.

    So you can point the finger and ridicule and insist it’s all about Hillary (just as any opposition to Obama is supposedly all about race), and abide in a delusional failure to see the truth–or to even seek the truth–about Benghazi or those concerned about it. All it really demonstrates is your own intransigent refusal to see what’s really

  • I think people are missing the point about “chilling” photos. We see the perp with his gf (who, incidentally, looks like a child), as well as his son, in front of a padlocked door that leads to the place where the women were held and, no doubt, tortured. Knowing that the women were behind that door while these guys acted as if everything was OK is, indeed, chilling.

  • “So what? Not one shred of any evidence links this kid to the Chechen bombers. He was injured in the blast. He’s enrolled in the http://www.nese.com/english/home_eng.htm. He went to classes there and took winter break vacation at Disney World and Key West. He’s a fan of Ellen DeGeneres and other bits of US pop culture. Glenn is way out on thin ice with this nonsense.”

    I’m wondering why you choose to comment on seemingly benign portions of the story while ignoring the fact that he was 212.3B, terrorist status, and that someone then tried to alter his records.

  • Please, I can’t take any more conspiracy theories! (Spent too much time at another site.) It in no way looked prearranged on his part.

  • But you’re not fat.

  • I’m being serious, not making fun. My observation is that obese people are more prone to joint problems and mobility problems, and that they are harder for health care workers to handle when necessary. Larger ambulances, hospital beds, wheelchairs, and regular chairs are having to be made. An MRI tech recently told me that they can’t do a complete MRI on some people because they won’t fit in the device, so that creates another health issue for the obese. I don’t think the human frame is made to carry that much extra weight.

  • Several things, assuming everything is accurate:

    1. Sounds as if the store had a “new” refund policy, implemented after she signed up. That was unfair to her, especially since there was nothing in writing.

    2. The store manager suggested she cancel the charge on her credit card. She could have done this without calling national attention to her plight. However, I think it is the store’s responsibility to refund her.

    3. Maybe the tanning beds are in danger of being broken by too-heavy people. The business has a right to protect its investment, but went about it wrong, imo.

    4. I had never thought about overweight people using tanning beds. All the ads, of course, show slender model types.

  • “This is America’s problem; we allow the female gender the right to vote. First they vote for Warren G. Harding because he’s “handsome”, then Kennedy, then Clinton, then Obama.”

    Besides all the other major flaws with this theory, a glaring one is that Romney is very handsome, much more than Obama.
