Banning fast foods
I knew all this would come to pass - there are people out there with nothing better to do then poke their noses in people's private lives. Smoking is not good for people and people are too stupid to stop so we will make their lives miserable until they do. Hence a smoking ban on everywhere you do. Now that is not good enough - now they are ...

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 ...

The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .
. . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

Hillary's misspoken words
I don't get it. Why did it take this writer 16 years to write this article? Why is the majority of the media viciously attacking Hillary now when just seven months ago she was their darling candidate? This goose stepping band of media marauders obviously got their marching orders, but how does this club operate? How do they get those orders? ...

Meat recall
It has nothing to do with tainted meat. It has everything to do with USDA showing they have the power. Small individuals with great big gold badges. This practice was an accepted practice from 1908 when USDA meat inspection began until around 2000 when USDA began to enforce humane handling practices, which prohibited slaughter of ''downer'' ...

Hitchens grossly understates the case against the CIA
Since its creation in 1948 the CIA has been home to murderers, torturers, vigorous opponents of democracy and equally vigorous supporters of blood soaked tyranny. The easiest examples are the takeover of the South Vietnamese occupation from the French in 1955 (you know where that led), collusion with the Greek Colonels, Franco and Pinochet's ...

The grammar of a natural right
Everyone seems to be hung up on the fact that the Second Amendment doesn't read like a section of the modern U.S. Code. It's true: people wrote laws differently back then, especially when discussing natural rights. Consider that the American Bill of Rights was modelled, in part, after the English Bill of Rights, which was written 100 years ...

This is rediculous!
It should be called ''populartics'' not politics; it's like some sort of bubble gum high school drama, rather than a race to determine who best can meet the needs of our citizens. I'm sure that putting your hand over your heart is a full and perfect method of manifesting, the amount of love and patritoism we all have for our country. And if Obama ...

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 ...
