There Seems To Be Something Wrong -
Jack Schick (430)    
After the stock market dropped over 300 points the last couple of days, I heard two people say they were glad about it. I was shocked and troubled, maybe a bit angry. Each person had a different reason why they were glad that so many people lost so much money. I was even more concerned when each... ( added 18 days 6 hours ago.) |

Joel Hirschhorn (2,924)     
Joel Hirschhorn 
As a long term, proud political dissident and rebel I have had some admiration for the national tea party movement. I welcome all that shakes up and reforms our dysfunctional political system. But in the end I find far too much distasteful about what these people embrace to participate in or... ( added 8 hours 55 minutes ago.) |

What To Do With My Congressman -
Jack Schick (430)
I'm not sure what to do with my Congressman. He's confused me a lot over his last couple of terms. For a while he was like one of those gophers in that game at the carnival where you get points for bopping him on the head with a mallet when he pops up out of a hole. There didn't seem to be any...

Disdain Versus Democracy -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,924)
Joel Hirschhorn
That strange sound you hear if you listen closely is Senator Ted Kennedy spinning in his grave.

If Health Care "Reform" Passes... -
Richard Vail (877)
Richard Vail
To put it simply...If Mr. Obama does manage to ram through his ill-conceived health care seizures, what occured in Massachusetts will happen all over the country.

Why Obama's Poll Numbers Are Falling -
- Richard Vail (877)
Richard Vail
Mr. Obama's numbers are falling simply because the country has woken up to the bait and switch that was pulled on the majority of people after the last election.

Dems In House Pass Massive Hike in Debt Ceiling -
- Richard Vail (877)
Richard Vail
In an act of massive stupidity, the Democratic majority voted 217-212 to increase the debt ceiling to $14,294,000,000,000.00. This will lead to fiscal suicide, especially AFTER the rumble in Massachusetts that led to the election of Scott Brown on two major reasons...he would vote to stop the...

Obama Can’t Win For Lying...Er, Uh, Losing -
- Joel Hendon (30,406)
Joel Hendon
President Obama, since the Democratic losses in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts, has determined to be what he calls a populist. The true meaning of populist is "a supporter of the rights and power of the people". His philosophy has no such idea in mind.

The recent Supreme Court's decision, I suppose, surprised almost everyone. It actually shocked some, and brought steaming anger to many Democrats. Let's see just how bad the ruling was and why so many are angered.

Why God Bless America? -
- John Sammon (4,227)  
John Sammon
I can't figure it out, and I've thought about it, but why is "God bless America" a popular saying? It seems somehow, elitist, exclusionary. I mean, if we go by inference, what's between the lines, or what remains unsaid, if God blesses America, what about the rest of the world?
Why would God... ( added 16 days 20 hours ago.) |
