I dropped cable and turned of my tv 6 months ago. I refuse to give my small amount to these crazies. Once I hear them speak I no longer can listen to a song or watch a movie without thinking about how much I despise them. My mark will not matter - too many others are more than willing to watch and listen to them because conservatives are just as dumb as some liberals. I now spend my time with my kids, playing guitar, gardening, outdoor activities with the family and other such stuff. At first it was difficult to walk away. I kept wanting to lose myself in the stupidity of it all. Just yesterday I was driving down the road and Sheryl Crow came on - she's the one who started me not wanting to hear what these idiots have to say.

The Federal Government can't replace the family. There's not a head start program in the country that could beat sitting in mom or dad's lap and having a book read to you. Being talked to, loved, cuddled, played with, counting on your fingers, playing 'I spy', building with blocks or pots and pans (what ever you have in the house) - the government can spend all it wants and it will never replace the love of a mother and father (or whatever the two combo situation might be - it has to be two - you need a teammate to raise kids) all he wants to do is create more union works with teachers, bus drivers, maintenance, ect. Why do people have kids if they refuse to raise them?

I watch the show and find it very different from what I was taught to believe live in that period was to be like. It's terribly liberal for it's time period. I have to toss this in as well...liberals just love to yell and stamp their feet to get their own way and mostly we all step aside and let them run rough shod. I can believe their were benevolent royal descendants as well as I can believe that not every slave holder beat the tar out of their property and raped the women just as I can believe that both the Chinese and the Italians probably believe they each invented the noodle. Not everything is black and white and no matter how many times the liberals want to make it so - it's just not.

Being able to note where the problem lies is racist? No one is saying exterminate these people, what is being said, is quit dancing around the Sally bush trying to pin blame on everyone else. It does not take a neurosurgeon to understand who lives in Chicago's South Side and from whom most of the violence comes from. Grow up and take a seat at the big table and have a frank conversation about how to fix the problem - do NOT be a liberal joke and believe tossing even more money at the problem will solve it.

Your morals compass does not define me. I was on birth control many, many years from Planned Parenthood. They offered the meds at a reduced rate. I'm grateful for them. Because I was able to get reduced pills. I did not meet the man I married until age 30. We now have two successful businesses and 3 healthy sons. I paid over $250k in taxes last year. My education and lifestyle would not be possible without the birth control pills subsidized by PP because unlike you I'm a moral less hussy who had sex outside of marriage. Instead you would want me to have out of wedlock kids or abortions. I don't feel the need to pay for fatty and his diabetes but my many tax dollars do. I also do not feel the need to pay for the ancient and all

know is right. I've paid bills on parties of 6 or more and the waitress worked hard and left the 20% off and I gave her 25% because she did such a good job and did not ignore my party. You are a fool if you think I'd ever pay that 20% - call the cops. I'll spend time in jail on the tax payer dime before I pay for crude service.

I've refused the added on 20% when I've had bad service...all the way to the manager. I will not pay it. I do tip for service and large party or no if you ignore me, keep me waiting, don't refill my drink or bring me more drinks, do not clean the used plates from the table ect...well, waitstaff complain that large parties do not tip ....waitstaff think they have a 20% locked in tip so they don't care. That's worse. In Baton Rouge at the Melting Pot we six adults had the worst service and was charged 20% I refused to pay it - the manager and I argued. I told him all about the hideous service and he demanded I pay it. I put cash down for my part and left. I will never pay someone to ignore me. I always carry cash and will pay what I

Here's the deal Dave, it takes a lot of hard work and discipline to live within your budget and not get into debt. What you say about the $3,500 mortgage accelerator I'v said to my friends about them buying your books and plans and tapes. It's as simple as not being overweight....do not spend more than you make and save up for special or big ticket items. But they do not listen to me and when ever they call me with some deal for a car or buyers direct or Christmas party ideas because they are low on cash I always ask them, "What would Dave Ramsey say?" It's the only thing that works. My opinion and ideas - they always try and talk me into saying yes and it never works.

After more than 20 years of following Reverend Wright, Obama truly believes the black on black violence, fatherlessness, and general 'give me' attitude in black urban areas is all the white mans fault. Plus, your article kept saying, 'be honest about what's happening and don't be afraid to put blame where it belongs honestly....' are you blaming in on Whites as well? It's hard to know where you stand in this article. Something needs to be done because those people are living like animals and the few stand up citizens left in those areas are being taken alive by a human cancer that can't easily be radiated.

I have a very deep and commanding voice. I have 3 sons, a long term husband, and two male dogs. I'm surrounded by it. The dogs run when they hear me get angry and my sons have all think I can 'take' daddy. (Not true - we are the same size but he could hurt me simply by virtue of being male) and are more terrified when I get angry than when their father is upset. By the time my oldest is 16 the only way I could take him in a fight is if he holds back because I'm mom or I fight from experience and fight dirty. Women in combat is crazy and I'd be terrified to have my name in a draft to send me to the front lines.
