  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Government abuse of power

    South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power.

  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

We could even mention America in ...

  • WHERE IS RON PAUL???

    Talk about a media snub! I'm moving closer and closer to voting for Ron Paul, even though he seems to stand very little chance of winning. The media seems to be weighing in against him.

  • Re: Replete with Liberals

    spiker: Liberal Liberals have historically been against personal gun ownership. Now that a conservative president has shown how goverment power can be abused (even here in the States) you'd think liberal Liberals would be better able to understand the need for the populace to maintain their constitutional right to weapons that not so much ...
