• Do Food Stamps Make America Stronger? (The USDA Says ‘Yes!’)

  March 1, 2013 at 3:27pm

  In reply to Vonnie.

  BASIC ECONOMICS…if food prices drop too low, producers either go out of business, adding further to unemployment, or they destroy stocks. Thus you have situations where factories are destroying food while people starve on their doorsteps…this ACTUALLY happened during the Great Depression

  Read Wealth of Nations Book 1 Chapters 8-9 to get a picture of what happens if we simply allow “nature to run its course” in our current situation.

• Maxine Waters Warns 170 MILLION Jobs Could Be Lost Due to Sequestration Cuts — But There’s a Huge Problem With Her Estimate

  Maybe she is counting all the jobs that will be lost in CHINA…

  Good…now criminals know who can defend themselves and who cannot. Law of unintended consequences?

• Chris Christie Disagrees With Armed Guards in Schools: ‘You Don’t Want to Make This an Armed Camp for Kids’

  December 22, 2012 at 4:04pm

  We don’t need “an armed guard at every classroom door” we do need a small contingent of armed and trained faculty who can respond in a violent situation. It also helps if everyone at the school is drilled on what to do in such an emergency.

  No plan will be perfect, but right now the students in our schools are easy targets for any nutcase who wants to make a name for himself. Arming the faculty would at least give them a fighting chance.

• Michael Moore: Americans Buy Guns Because ‘We’re a Very Frightened People’ With an Unresolved ‘Race Problem’

  Micheal Moore is a very angry person with an unresolved weight problem…there somebody had to say it!

• ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Contestant Loses on This Technicality — Outrageous or Fair?

  In reply to Juraissicjet.

  Race is certainly relevant to this conversation, although I feel people are being overly cynical about it. As a society we tend to be more accommodating to “minorities” out of fear of being branded RACIST. This includes the use of bad grammar and pronunciation.

  Would the show have “let it slide” if she were not a white servicewoman? Go back and look at how they have ruled in the past. Unfortunately I do not watch the show enough to make a statement on the matter.

  In reply to brigott.

  Actually our feelings matter A LOT to the producers of the show, since it is our viewership that brings in sponsors and keeps the show going. Lots of “stooopid rednecks”…aka poor white people who value our military…watch this show. They could lose viewers over this.

  In reply to Margyt.

  Pat had every right to be concerned. He is smart enough to know that a move like that would have negative blowback which would be bad for a show that survives solely on its popularity. In show business there is more to consider than just “the rules”
