• Dad Arrested, Strip-Searched After Daughter Draws a Picture of a Gun in School

  February 28, 2012 at 9:25am

  I am so grateful for our constitutional rights, even as our ruling class tries to dictate them. The right to bear arms in our federal constitution keeps the government at bay…or that was the plan. The right to protect yourself your home and family used to be an integral part of our freedoms. Now, deadly force is only allowed in certain situations, clearly defined on paper, but not at 3 AM when someone breaks your window enters your home to Canadian law is surely different than American Law and I don’t care for it. Like Australia banning guns or whatever they did back in 90′s or whenever. I remember seeing this pile of rifles and people proud to be turning them in. What is one of the first things we do when we subjugate a people…disarm them. Remember that when these professional fatcats in Washington try to strip us of any protection for our own safety, that they try to foist on us in the name of “gun control”.

• ‘An Unforgivable Insult’: Supporters Appeal to Supreme Court to Save ‘Unconstitutional’ War Memorial Cross

  February 17, 2012 at 9:04am

  How is it not true that the majority rules? Were not the majority of Korean War dead Christian? What better symbol of the spiritual value of giving one’s life for a good cause? The cross symbolizes to christians what their hero Jesus gave for all humanity. It seems a reasonable tribute. Is this just another “trophy kids” thing where everyone wants to get the exposure the Majority has? This is not about church and state as I see it. It is not about religion, it is about the spiritual values that we have. I say the majority rules.

• Joe Scarborough Confronts Columnist Over Calling Santorum‘s Handling of His Baby’s Death ‘Weird’

  January 7, 2012 at 8:32am

  Another example of trying to redirect the spin when called on a comment on a political candidate’s view. Dancing and talking out of the side of his mouth…pulitzer prize for what? A quota guy, as one comment suggested? We are doomed unless we express our disgust a what we see. We surely cannot believe anything we hear or read in the media…

• Was This Image of Jesus Supernaturally Created During His Resurrection?

  December 23, 2011 at 9:39am

  I told you so

• Does This Design of Two Towers Remind You of Anything?

  December 10, 2011 at 8:30am

  Now who is overly sensitive? It is the first image that came to my mind, though.

• Ann Coulter Gets Bleeped Out on ‘Morning Joe’ for Calling John McCain a ‘Douche Bag’

  November 30, 2011 at 9:01am

  Ann Coulter is an extreme. But then, so is Rahm Emmanuel. Rahm talked about Newt Gingrich with a glib insult to Newt’s followers…ridicule the opposition, you don’t have to have facts, just a sense of humor…and the populace follows. Interesting that we have such extremes. Glenn Beck and Co. are performers, informers, teachers, factfinders and entertainers and have to present “facts” with no agenda to be true to their premise, but a comedian who makes Don Rickles-like comments about people looking to lead the nation, snarky phrases, maybe should not be Mayor of Chicago. I just don’t get it.

• More Curious Connections Emerge in Case of Couple Fined $7,200 for ‘Wake Up America’ Sign

  November 29, 2011 at 9:06am

  I cannot believe that there were no political signs in the neighborhood during the last election. Do they fear Glenn Beck supporters that much? What about the evidence in the real estate contract? Punitive for conservative and patriotic views? Seems so to me.

• Should 200 LB Child Have Been Taken From Mother for ‘Medical Neglect?’

  November 29, 2011 at 9:03am

  As a former healthcare worker, I find this troubling. I agree the child is at risk of health problems, but where is the liberty to choose one’s path in life? Is it in the hands of Cuyahoga county? Should it be? I don’t think so. Big Brother does not have to take my liberties to protect me. What happens to the child in the system? How much further will his liberties be stripped? What if he does not want to leave his family? Do not allow this travesty.

• Occupiers Plan to Disrupt NYC Subways & Wall St. During Today‘s ’Day of Action’

  November 21, 2011 at 8:16am

  It reminds me of revenge of the nerds, socially inept (purposefully or naturally) people who are angry with some aspect of successful people’s life, protesting the inequities of life and competition. Students have never impressed me as a group who were anything but malleable to the ivory tower college and university theorists. A cause with an emotional pull is the stuff campus protests are all about. Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Protesting greed and corruption on wall st? Socialist/marxist agenda? Civil disobedience is not purposeful civil disruption. Maybe I miss the point of civil disobedience. Why did Martin Luther King inspire me to support his cause? He advocated what should have been the rights of ALL people, not just a ruling class. We give authority to our police forces to enforce the law. We ALL must obey the laws. This protest should not be about wall street, but about the immorality in each of us, but that is not politically expedient and is terribly personal. Ethics and Morality begin with the individual and trickles up the pyramid to the very successful. Now THAT is a real day dream.

• ‘Forced Unionization’: SEIU Collects Union Dues From Disabled Kids’ Medicaid Checks

  November 21, 2011 at 8:00am

  It is interesting to note that state workers do not work to make a profit that can be forcibly shared with the rank and file, so why do they need to be unionized? I am still smarting over the failure of issue 2 in Ohio. An attempt to improve government budgeting in the state, issue 2 was a referendum over the revisions in senate bill 5, as I read it, the changes returned the authority in the workplace back into the hands of the managers of the departments regarding evaluation of performance. Performance was to be evaluated on efficiency and proficiency in the particular job in which on is engaged. Longevity was either not to be considered or the last thing to be considered, like a tie breaker, in the quest for advancement or termination. Why do workers who do not produce anything in the GNP and, in fact, squander the wealth earned by people who work to make a profit for their employers and who are subject to the demands of that employer, need collective bargaining? Maybe to protect their jobs? Keep control in the hands of the employees? Ham-string management to keep them from demanding the workers do their jobs efficiently? It is a shame that union dues are taken out of their benefits from the state. It is also a shame that the unions that represent the rank and file are not concerned about the efficient use of the taxes collected from us.
