I recently saw this disgusting video with people celebrating the Fort Hood shooter and encouraging such behavior. This not only disgusted me, but made me wonder if it is in fact criminal. Frankly, it sounds like sedition to me. Do you think this should be allowed? Does free speech allow people to celebrate attacks on our nation and encourage more?I wonder how many on the left will think...

I've already stated my opinions on using a baby as a prop Annie, but this is completely different. What he's doing is trying to personalize the issue. Too many people just look at 9-11 as a bad thing, but can't really wrap their heads around what it is like to watch thousands of people die just like that. Some people almost have 9-11 amnesia. There's a big difference between hearing about i...

I'd love to weigh in on this, but nobody who talks about it bothers to give the full text of the bill. The part in question is a subsection, which means you must read the preceding part for the context of this subsection. This could be much ado about nothing.

Well I don't know this Haley Barbour guy, but I can say without question that she is qualified to be president. She is a natural born citizen over 35. She also has experience running a government, working with democrats and republicans, and finding bipartisan solutions when necessary. She has also proven herself far better at managing a budget than Obama or Bush as she managed a state with a bu...

"If I was a feminsit you might hear me say that there was must be a death wish for women in this country because all you hear is that women don't need to be tests as often for these cancers not that men don't need prostate exams every year or other tests every year for the cancer mostly common in men." Now that's a very interesting point. Perhaps they're targeting women because men are typic...

He WAS a victim! He had PRE traumatic stress disorder. I heard he caught it from soldiers who had actually been in Iraq. Besides, Chris Matthews made it clear that there's nothing wrong with an Army Major emailing back and forth 20 times with an al Quada recruiter.

I said the fact check was bogus because it was bogus, not because it involved a republican. There are plenty of valid fact checks that show republicans like Eric Cantor who routinely prove themselves incapable of telling the truth. If you read the factchecks you'll see how bogus they are. One criticized her for saying she regularly stayed in low cost hotels instead of luxury hotels like mos...

"She certainly messed up in Alaska" A budget surplus, over a thousand dollars in tax refund bonuses to her constituents, set the framework for a natural gas pipeline to the lower 48 states, etc. So what did she actually mess up before resigning?

Scandals are definitely an issue because people who hate her will play off them not caring that they are fake. I don't know what people think she did to her state though. She lowered taxes, increased revenues, cut earmarks, increased funding for special education school, and still sent over $1,000 in extra refund checks to her constituents. She really did leave the state better than the way...

"People love to brag up the budget surplus in Alaska and the refund checks everyone got but fail to mention it was all due to Alaska's oil and the high price of it." What's your point Annie? Every state gets their money from somewhere. Does that mean that Texas can't brag about a budget surplus because they have oil too? Does this mean that Florida couldn't brag IF they had a budget surplus ...
