First Thoughts: The White House's terrible, horrible Friday spills over
Mon May 13, 2013
- There are so many people that could speak up or report what they think they see, without understanding the numbers. Once some thing like the IRS issue happens, people panic, when they panic, they don't think. There's a whole slue of questions that need to be answered, and a lot of data that could be …
Official: US Special Forces team wasn't allowed to fly to Benghazi during attack
Mon May 6, 2013
- Just listen to what they are saying. To think that fighter jets in the sky would scare people on foot, within a populated area is foolish. There are no lasers on jets that would scare off people on foot, if there were, we would never kill anyone we were targeting. If you see a laser on you, you move …
Republicans: For some workers comp time more valuable than cash
Mon May 6, 2013
- Iffy at best. No way to guarantee you will get those hours, might even be forced to save up 160 hours because they never approve you to use it, then get fired. Seems like a policy that would benefit the well to do more than those on minimum wage or near minimum wage. The best help for those that are …
Gun rights group hopes to arm Chicago, other major U.S. cities
Sun May 5, 2013
- Much like the currently recommended policy, if they can pass the background check, sounds fine. No body is trying to stop people from buying weapons, we only want to better the system that keeps weapons out of the hands of criminals. If the background check needs improvement, then let America improv …
Gun vote continues to follow Ayotte in town hall meetings
Thu May 2, 2013
- Why is it ok for Americans to have to submit to extensive training and testing, and licensing, to get a drivers license, and be able to drive. And then we are ok with having to register and plate the cars we plan on driving. All those things are in databases, all those things allow us to be tracked, …
Foreclosure compensation checks arrive, but anger some homeowners
Thu May 2, 2013
- Some of the problem is that if people fell behind, and wanted to work with the lender to modify their payments, the lenders had to say no, because they (the lender) actually had no idea who owned the house, where the paperwork was, which investment gadget the house was bundled into and how modifying …
Clinton waiting in the wings, Democratic group paves way for a woman president
Thu May 2, 2013
- It will be interesting to see all the one liners, catchy catch phrases and baseless talking points come out against Hillary. Conservatives never seem to learn that no matter how smart or cleaver their one liners, catchy catch phrases and baseless talking points seem, they are still failing the major …
10-year-old boy among victims as more than 20 shot on one Chicago day
Thu May 2, 2013
- Anyone that has a clean background can get a weapon. There is nothing stopping every one of those "law abiding citizens" from owning guns now. 98% of the population has the legal ability to own a firearm right now. There is nothing stopping our population from being that force that discourages crimi …
Five-year-old boy accidentally shoots, kills sister
Wed May 1, 2013
- If a car and a gun are only tools, and tools have a specific purpose, like the car is used for traveling, what is the manufactured purpose of the gun. Sure you can kill a person with an iron, but that is not what it is designed to do. Can you dismantle a flat screen TV, repair it and reassemble it w …
After Texas fertilizer blast, victims rely on each other
Tue Apr 30, 2013
- It is encouraging to see a community bond together to help each other. It is the basis for American ideals, working together for the good of everyone. We are all apart of the same society, no matter how disconnected some may feel. On the other hand, how do you balance the idea of being self-sufficie …
