• Shocking, Disturbing Restaurant Assault Vid: Woman Allegedly Beaten Into a Seizure As Employees Laugh

  April 22, 2011 at 3:58pm

  In reply to krenshau.

  I believe that outrages like this one, and the many, many we have been seeing lately, have been going on for years, and have just been each community’s “dirty little secret”. With the explosion of cheap camera video phones, anyone who captures the right event or whatever can instantly become a viral hero, and get their 15 minutes, maybe an interview on Today…..
  So what is happening is we are now SEEING the things that were only rumors for years. AND I have to wonder if the obviousness (?) of the event being filmed wouldn’t keep a person from helping out; the old “no good deed goes unpunished” thing. Imagine grabbing one of the vermin kicking the victim while she is down, having THAT caught on camera, and how much you would get sued for!
  I live in NH, where you can buy a pound of black powder with your drivers license – haven’t seen any of that behavior up here!

• FACT CHECK: Is Iraq Combat Really Over for U.S.?

  September 1, 2010 at 8:26am

  I grew up in the 60′s, and clearly remember my very Republican father saying “either fight to win” in Vietnam or “get the hell out”. One would have thoght we learned our lesson there. For the life of me, I do not understand putting American service men & women’s lives in danger to prop up governments in the Middle East, to do the very Vietnam – like “advisory” thing, when the “mission” is supposed to be to eradicate Al Queda. Go in, take them out, come home. Let the people of Iraq and Afghanistan decide their own destinies after.
