The American people can only take so much. Like the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" we can only take so much. The idea that the EPA actually pays people to watch cows poop would be funny if it were being done by a private company with no gov't funds. It isn't funny when we know the dollars for this are being drawn from our pockets without our consent. I can't imagine watching cow's butts all day and then having to answer my kids when they ask, "What did you do today daddy?" Of course the EPA will claim legitimate-sounding "reasons" for this; but it boils down to one thing: the congress lets them get away with it. And one more straw is heaped on the poor camel.

Mr. Sowell is one of the smartest Americans I've ever had the privilege to read. Lord Obama is going to win this election hands down. He will continue to pander to those who choose not to work; supply endless food stamps in place of real programs that actually work and continue to drive employers out of the country. I am currently unemployed, hope to be working soon and I see Obama supporters every day...but not down at the local employment office. Wonder why not?

What a big, brave occupier! Smacks a girl, 1/3 his size, in the back of the head and runs away like the coward he is. Typical occupier. No wonder the only people who support them are their fellow unemployable basement dwellers.

How brave! Wearing a mask, breaking windows! Spray painting! Shouting slogans! Throwing smoke bombs! Oh! (insert one regulation swoon here), the majesty of it all! Good to see the white, unemployed basement dwellers get out for a day on the town.

Lord Obama and his minions are incapable of speaking the truth. You couldn't get an Obama staffer to tell the truth if you held a gun to their head. Obama is the only person in the world who actually makes Jimmy Carter look great by comparison. What a legacy!

Forget what anyone tells you; the cost of medical care will quickly rise under government-mandated insurance plans. 1. It will take three government employees to do the work of one. 2. The requirement for paperwork for each patient will increase (think IRS, EPA, FCC, etc.) 3. Each new congress will tinker with the plan. It will start with "free" hair plugs for cancer patients and then spread to anyone else desiring same based on making people "feel better" about their appearance. Private/public partnerships always, without exception, ensure that the government assumes all the risk and private partners share in the benefit. We know Obamacare is crap because congress won't be covered.

Dial down the drama? That is exactly what is wrong with conservatives; we are not "in your face' enough! We buckle and bend, wither and run when confronted with attacks on our values. What should have happened is that as soon as a condom was placed on a cross, it should have been removed. See how long it would have taken for the lib's head to explode. Turning the other cheek is no longer an option.
