• ‘The View’ Ladies Side With S.E. Cupp Over Hustler Photo During Studio Interview

  May 24, 2012 at 4:18pm

  Our is a nation divided by theologies that are so far apart I don’t know that they can be bridged. There are extremes on each side but the liberal side, many with no principles will do whatever it takes to win and this is just another example. The more neutral and middle of the road people I believe don’t want to really see or hear this and when they do, know that certain boundaries have been crossed that never should have been. For the last few years, the left has pushed those boundaries so far, I believe it will come back to haunt them in the next election. Because there are too many examples of this type of behavior that is now in the full view of the average American and it cannot get dismissed. More over, there have been many other instances where people have just not to get drawn into the mud but given how bad Washington has lost hold on reality and what the core values of the majority truly are, examples like this now hurt them all the more.

  Most telling is when groups such as NOW look the other way and stay silent. The double standard of such groups that have been loud voices for the liberal agenda now scream out who they really are by saying nothing.

  I salute The View for at least having the class to acknowledge such incredibly crass actions. It gives me hope this nation will not stay a house divided as it has become over the past few years. Because if we don’t start using common sense, this nation will not stand too much longer.

• UPDATED: N.C. Teacher Suspended For Telling Student He Could Be Arrested for Talking Badly About Obama

  In reply to pendentelite2.

  What amazes me is a history teacher saying such. Those who do not know their history repeat such mistakes, Germany 1939 is about right for that mentality.

  There is a pretty strong current conservative movement in campus colleges with the Reagan generation kids now in college. Many look at the current situation and wonder how our political system could have evolved to its current status.

  Still it frightens me that you see so much of this mentality displayed. We have become a house divided and I worry the the gulf between the sides are too broad to bridge. Worse, the two party system is more worried about power than the needs of the citizens or the welfare of this country.

  Our current president has done much to divide such in our own country as well destroy ties to our other allies. That should be a wake up call in itself but people tend to be focusing more on the rhetoric than actual actions and consequences. Sad to see an example fo such a muddied mentality forcing such a perspective on these students.

• Planes Be Warned: Aircraft Violating No-Fly Zone for Chicago NATO Summit Could Be Shot Down

  May 2, 2012 at 1:27pm

  This is a fairly normal warning given out, although the administration can push just hard hard penalties go.
  Ideally the Air Force does not want to shoot down an aircraft that could mistakenly be in the zone as the wreckage has to “come down” if such a shoot down happens. Falling wreckage can be just as much a danger. So much more likely he “stray aircraft” will be given a terse warning and unless the aircraft is accessed to be a real threat, it will be escorted out of the airspace and harsh penalties could be given once the crew is on the ground.
  Private pilots are suppose to get a pilots report and file a flight plan when flying over a certain mileage but many do not. Not getting a heads up from the local FAA office leads to stray aircraft in temporary specialty airspace zones and sometimes private pilots do get into trouble.

  It is amazing to think how many laws could be replaced by just ten.

• Pat Robertson: A Peyton Manning Injury Would Be Karma for the Denver Broncos After Treating Tebow ‘Shabbily’

  March 24, 2012 at 4:44pm

  I like Tim Tebow, I think he did a great thing for Denver and for the NFL in general.
  Denver had every right to choose who they wanted to. As a Christian, I don’t force my faith on others, I lead by example. Pat Robinson is NOT leading by example in this case which is a shame to hear.

  I wish Tebow the best, and Pat Robinson as well as he needs to be reminded as a preacher his words have so much weight that he must put his faith into such words at all times. I forgive him though, humans are not perfect and they do make mistakes. So don’t be too judgmental, preach THE faith, preach THE faith.

• Liberal Radio Host’s Wild Rant: ‘Repossess’ Conservative Women’s Ovaries, ‘Cut ’Em Off’

  March 8, 2012 at 9:00am

  It was the progressive socialist Nazi party movement that not only called for but instituted sterilization of non conformist and demographic portions of the population in Germany in the late 1930‘s through the early 1940’s. Such rhetoric was quite common with the Nazi party starting in the mid 1930′s.

  Those who do not learn history repeat the mistakes of history.

• Chicago Cardinal Francis George: If Contraception Mandate Stands, All Catholic Hospitals Will Close ‘Two Lents From Now’

  February 28, 2012 at 12:11am

  It is OK to force this on the public hospitals but not the Catholics? Because originally the Catholics supported Obamacare.
  If they really do beleive that you should onto others as other would do onto you, they must call for a complete repeal of Obamacare.

  No compromises on this.

• Taliban Brutally Decapitates 70-Year-Old Baker

  In reply to smerg.

  I absolutely believe that Islam is the anti-Christian side noted in the bible. “for there will be many that say they know me and I will say I know them not” referring to the teachings of Islam saying our God is the same. I Highly suggest the book “God’s War on Terror” which compares the biblical quotes to the Koran. Absolutely you will see that they are polar opposites.
  It is not well know but Islamic nations attacked the US first, our first international conflict/war against the United States. The Marine Corp song “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli” refers to the Barbary Wars
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War
  Look it up, Islamic Caliphate attacked the US due to our nation being a based on such freedoms.

  In reply to Tony.

  Yes and all the while Islamist will say that your God is the same God as theirs, which is a lie. But if you don’t take a real look into such, it an easy lie to pass off.
