• Record-High Teen Pregnancies, Drug Overdoses, Imprisoned Parents, Illiteracy: You Won’t Believe What ‘War’ W. VA Schools Are Facing

  May 10, 2013 at 8:18am

  In reply to Kiba.

  Jaycen, I don’t want to believe that, but you may be right.

  The state is falling apart, and the people just don’t seem to care. We have terrible local media, terrible schools, terrible politicians, few jobs, etc. Even though they CLAIM to be trying to help out with education here, recently the state — at the urging of teacher unions — banned the very successful TFA program, rejected funding charter schools, and generally patted themselves on the back for making small and insignificant changes to the education bureaucracy. And the people? The parents? No where to be seen.

  I want to stay here, because my family is here . . . but there’s nothing left, and it’s only getting worse.

• Female Egyptian TV Host Removes Headscarf, Berates Cleric Who ‘Peddles’ Islam in Explosive Interview

  In reply to chattin.

  I was thinking the same thing. She’s a brave girl, and honest . . . they won’t like that.

• Half-Naked College Student Dresses Up as the Pope, Gives Out Condoms — And Now One Bishop Is Accusing Her of ‘Prejudice’ & ‘Bigotry’

  April 30, 2013 at 6:21pm

  Sounds like a good time for some undercover investigation. While I do agree that this falls under freedom of speech/expression (you have no right to not be offended), I wonder if the students and staff would be quite so accepting if, say, a kid marched around with a replica of Obama’s head on a pike? Or maybe if they carried a huge sign listing all the potential health risks of a homosexual lifestyle? Or if they dressed in a Nazi uniform with an Obama logo patched on the chest, and a fake dead fetus in one hand?

  I suspect the entire student body would be up in arms about expressions such as these.

  College kids rarely care about FREEDOM, they just care about what suits them. Heaven forbid you actually offend THEM, however.

• Is the Video Game Being Called the ‘Best Game of the Year’ Anti-American and Anti-Conservative?

  March 30, 2013 at 8:06am

  In reply to Finnyfrock.

  All art has a purpose, a theme. That’s what makes it worth the artist’s time. The primary purpose of art is to entertain, the secondary purpose is the expression of ideas. I think art influences the culture, not the other way around.

  And you’re right, video games do this very well. They’re both extremely entertaining, and the good ones give us something to think about. Nothing wrong with that. Even if I disagree, nothing wrong with it. Unlike Hollywood, the Video Game industry doesn’t favor either side of the aisle. There are some Conservative leaning games out there, and some Liberal leaning games, and some that are neither. That’s fantastic. I’m fine with people disagreeing with me, as long as they don’t silence their own opposition . . . that said, Bioshock actually seems fairly balanced. It insults both political extremes equally. ;)

  Haven’t played it yet, but I certainly intend to.

  I hope TheBlaze.com does more video game reviews in the future.

  THANK YOU.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  TheBlaze.com has just earned nerd points for actually bothering to PLAY the game before passing judgment. Understanding that video game culture is worth paying attention to, and worth respecting, is the first step to winning back the culture from propagandists. Thanks for giving Bioshock a fair shake — now, hopefully, my fellow Conservatives will stop with the embarrassing, prudish criticism of a game they know little or nothing about.

  Screw Hollywood. Video Games are where the best stories are being told.

  Great stuff. Thanks for the review.

• Here’s What Pope Francis Had to Say About Poverty, the Environment at His Installation Mass

  March 19, 2013 at 9:25am

  In reply to justangry.

  He certainly isn’t forcing his altruism on you or me, so I don’t see the problem.

  He’s telling people to look out for one another, and be good stewards of the land. This isn’t just a Catholic idea, it’s a Protestant one as well. He’s keeping things very basic, as far as I can tell. Which is fine. The church needs to get back to the basics, after all.

  Sir, I suspect you’re, ahem, just angry . . . but you’re wrong to judge him so harshly, so quickly. So far, he seems to be a great man of God. Although I’m not Catholic, I will continue to pray for the Pope and his people.

• ‘Start a War. Get a Gun. Shoot Me First’: Oregon Law Prof. Arrested, Fired After Intense Run-In With Student Immigration Protest

  March 19, 2013 at 9:13am

  Feels like a stunt. Maybe not staged by the protesters, but by the man himself acting alone. Seems to me he may have wanted to scare them into action. Make them hate their enemy. Start a sort of “shot heard around the world” incident. I doubt it would’ve mattered if they would’ve hit him, but hey, he’s clearly unstable.

  The most unsettling thing is the amount of support this nut is getting here in the Blaze comment section, JUST because we disagree with the protesters? One commenter even said something about God having big plans for this man . . . what? REALLY?

  Sometimes I think the majority of people Conservative or Liberal, have lost their freaking minds. =/

• Dana Loesch on CPAC: ‘More voices, not less’

  March 15, 2013 at 8:42am

  In reply to mommaLION.

  That’s because Dana didn’t act like a holier-than-thou snob by wagging her finger at Conservatives for the amusement of her Liberal colleagues.

  I still kinda like S.E., but she lost a lot of respect with how she went about expressing her views on the subject. Honestly, I think she should apologize.

  Fewer and fewer at this rate. We treat Conservative gays like crap, then we wonder why there are so few of them. =/
