What you fail to take into account is that when it comes to 'progressives' the ends justify the means. If this means that cadre dies in order to support the progressive narrative, then so be it. If you have to lie through your teeth to support the progressive narrative, then so be it. Just wait. I'm almost positive that sometime during all this reporting over the recovery of those missing girls in Cleveland that some progressive will try to use the case to demand more restrictive laws against the ownership of firearms. At this point would it really suprise anyone?

"Death is a part of life..." is Standard Operating Procedure to democrats; for whom the ends ALWAYS justify the means...

Only $6.3 trillion...The US Government can print that before lunch one day!

I think the reasons for the pull-outof security, the delibrate non-response to the attack,and the subesequent blaming of the violence on an anti-islamic uTube video was because this had to fit the administration narrative that; since the election of Barack Obama the Muslims really, really like us.

Sandy Phillips, whose daughter Jessica Ghawi was killed in the Colorado theater shooting last July, met privately with Cruz in San Antonio this week. Phillips said Cruz refused to budge on expanding background checks and told her he considered it the first step toward government confiscation of guns. "They're always good at saying the right thing, 'I'm so sorry for you loss and da da da da da,'" Phillips said. "If you're really sorry for my loss, do something about it." They are Ms. Phillips. They're gonna' ensure James Holmes, the person responsible, is held to account. They just arent' gonna' punish the whole nation to mollify you.K? K.

This is NOT about health care. It's about state control over people. Just wait until Bloomberg's 16 oz soda ban becomes a federal mandate under the PPACA. Next it will be only 'approved' foods. Soon it will be 'Logan's Run' all over again accompanied with cries of "Renew! Renew!"

THe next question on the survey should be; "What did you major in at college?" If the answer was "Art History" then the quandry is self-explanatory. I'd be willing to bet that the Engineering majors aren't having any problem finding work. I'd also bet that most firms are finding newly graduated engineers difficult to come by.

Mistermilo asks; “Why does almost every conservative feel that if a third party is formed, it will only take members from the Republican?” The answer is because progressives are Ideological Jihadists. They are the first one’s willing to “eat-their-own” meaning they will turn on any liberal democrat candidate that doesn’t tow the political line of whatever special interest group has their agenda in front at the moment. Progressives have the same “you’re with us or against us” attitude of a radicalized Islamist

The actual issue David is that if conservatives view a viablr third party platform they are lible to actually consider casting their vote in that direction. Once the democrats have chosen their candidate through the primary process, they 'lock-up' the gates to the plantation and vote for that candidate en mass. COnservatives are much more prone to be open-minded than the supposedly 'tolerant' progressives that are only tolerant as long as you agree with them

Do we really need a study in order to know that more guns equals less crime? Three of the highest crime areas in the country are Washington DC, New York, and Chicago. Each of these metropolitan areas is known for having the toughest, most restrictive gun laws in the country. Literally every other city has something less in the area of gun legislation and those same cities all enjoy lower rates of gun crime. Gee: What a surprise!

To make a long story short; the answer is “No.” Both of the parties we have no are so institutionalized, not to mention entrenched, that a third party would never attain viability. The individual state party organizations of both sides of the political aisle long ago authored the qualification procedures each state follows to get a candidate on an election ballot. These procedures are skewed so far into the advantage of the already institutionalized major parties as to ensure that no third party candidate could ever qualify on enough state ballots to give the voters a viable third choice nationally. It would take a third party decades to gain enough traction to be a credible threat to the Republican/Democrat political machine
