You know, maybe if you ended up living in a country where only the criminals had guns maybe you'd learn to more apt to appreciate the concept of self protection. If someone doesn't want to own or possess a firearm that's fine, it's their decision. However, don't sit there on some self-righteous pedestal of perceived indignation and naiveté and dictate what is good for the rest of us. There is only going to be one toughest SOB on the block. An "equalizer" however can act as a real deterrent to even the biggest and the "badest". The avg. police response time to a 911 call is 8 minutes, a .40 cal. S&W is 1205 ft/sec. You choose which one you want protecting your family.

Nice try, as if to suggest that you knew all Conservatives thereby validating such a ludicrous and lemming style statement you moron. As many on the left as on the right bought into the junk science surrounding cigarettes and asbestos. Guess it's a wonderful life when you can make up "facts" to suit your needs or your agenda. Global climate change, of course, it's been happening since the earth was created. Global warming as a product of man's irresponsibility, not hardly. Why the hell do you think the glaciers during the last three ice ages melted off? No, neither cave men nor dinosaurs were to blame, it was because of a natural phenomena, which has been occurring for billions of years, and that's with the big "B". But how else can...

How about Obama's "I will fundamentally change the United States of American"? Who knew or could have dreamt what he actually meant. So BHO didn't/doesn't like the U.S. the way it was, so in his mind that in his mind, "gives him the right to singlehandedly change our system of government"? Our most dangerous enemy isn't in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, N. Korea, China, or Russia. It is an enemy from within that seeks to overthrow our government and create something akin to a failed European Socialist state. Who might that be? BHO and the Progressive Movement. They sneak around out of the public view changing our country, and circumventing our constitution, through Presidential proclamation and agency over-reach!

My God man do you live on the same planet as the rest of us? What evidence?! You are obviously asking a rhetorical question, right? Breaking contract law to benefit the unions, using taxpayer money to turn over ownership of GM to the Unions, and at the same time disregarding the bond holders and investors who actually had financial and legal standing, allowing Union benefit packages (which are not even close to being fully funded) to remain in effect. And then his administration, with our money, backs the production of a hybrid model that no one wants, because it "mates" well with his green agenda. Today they added another $2500 dollar incentive to potential buyer of the Chevy Volt, which added to the existing $7500 rebate, make a...

When did anyone of sound mind and "reasonable" intellect ever expect this President to exhibit any policy which serve any master but himself. His every action seems designed to justify his hubristic and elitist's approach to governance? It may be a rather hackneyed phrase, but [Sic] "listen not to what one says, but rather watch what in reality they do." It's patently obvious that he has become the master of double talk and the double standard in which the means justify the end result. Why he isn't man enough to simply tell the people what his real goals are, and how he intends to get there, exhibits a rather Machiavellian approach with respect to his agenda. Instead he will tell the people what they want to hear, and won't let himself...

Soryy the above comment was not posted in it's entirety: No, because no "Progressive", true to his beliefs, would ever even suggest bringing up our most referred document (the U.S. Constitution) to this President, knowing that he obviously doesn't feel constrained by it's tenets. That is except on the rare occasion when he can use it to justify one or more of his nefarious and convoluted acts. Unfortunately, because of the intentional misinterpretation and abuse of our constitution, specifically the commerce and general welfare clauses, coupled with the abuse of Presidential fiats and executive orders, we now stand witness to the circumvention of our law, or worse yet the total disregard for it! Evidently it seems in Mr. Obama's mind ...

No, because no "Progressive" true to his beliefs would ever bring up our most refered document, knowing that this President has no use for it, except that is when it may justify one or more of his nefarious and convoluted acts. Unfortunately, because of the intentional misinterpretation of our constitution, specifically the commerce, and the general welfare clauses, in conjunction with Presidential Fiats and Executive Orders used and abused to give unwarranted credence to his agenda.

The author's last sentence hit the proverbial nail on the head. All Obama is capable of doing is "ACTING" like President of the United States, he doesn't have the experience, the vision, the back bone, or even the commitment to our nation, or our system of government, to serve as a Chief Executive, or as Commander in Chief. He has been more like an inept caretaker during his tenure in that office, and under his "tutelage" our country has regressed to a state of confusion, and a lack of direction. His time in office has been spent securing his almost despotic power, and in so doing has never stopped from campaigning for re-election! If he succeeds in being re-elected, and as a lame duck President not having to worry about the will of...

Did you read the article? If he isn't suggesting that the numbers are being juggled then why in hell do you think he wrote the article, for dexterity's sake? You can't make this stuff up, and it's obvious that the Obama's policies are not working. The old ostrich syndrome was never a very good response to a problem, and that's exactly what you're doing here, burying your head in the sand, and refusing to admit the truth of the matter.

You bet. And what do you think happens to those Social Security funds that the people pay? They are spent (stolen) by the politicians to pay for special interest projects, and programs we can ill afford, and do not need. It is outright theft from the Social Security Trust Fund, and Obama, although he is not the first to do so, has taken that spending to all new heights. More money spent in three years than Bush Spent in eight, and he's just getting warmed up. Obama has committed more funds to be spent that all the Presidents in the history of this country. Both parties have contributed to this situation, but now that we see the unsustainability of such spending to continue on as if that reality doesn't exist is insane, and un-American.
