Actually, the problem is that we are no longer able, as a society, to call a crazy person crazy. Political incorrectness is severely punished but insanity is given a pass. So, we have no ability to call out an Adam Lanza as being crazy and getting a determination that he is off his rocker and cannot be left in society as a ticking time bomb. We are forced by PC Nazis to ignore this fetid "elephant in the room" until he does a Sandy Hook. THEN, everyone comes out and says that they always knew he was a weirdo, whacked out creep. Too late ... dead babies on the floor, blood everywhere, Lanza's pukie little body in the corner where he mercifully put a bullet through his sick brain. Congratulations PC Nazis.

Good for you Gina. Thanks for illuminating this situation, as only someone on the "inside" could do. One of our problems, as a society, is that we officially presume that only a "mental health professional" can determine that someone is insane. The truth is that we all "know" when a person with whom we regularly interact is wacko. This is the reason that children are cruel to oddballs. Children intuitively protect themselves and do not moderate their reactions by applying politically correct non-judgment. They merely react at the gut level to shun them. Some would say that this causes children to grow into insane adults (like Adam Lanza) but the ugly truth is that the causal relationship is the opposite.

Gunfighting is a skill. It can be taught. A willing student can learn it, given sufficient dedication and practice. Good equipment helps but a competent warrior with a basic weapon will always win a firefight with an amateur carrying the best stuff money can buy. Killing is a profoundly serious act. Even if unavoidable, it will be with you forever. Never draw your weapon until you have decided that the perp must die. Once you draw, do not hesitate; even for a second. No warning. Shoot to kill and don't stop until the perp is no longer a threat. Always be aware that there can be multiple perps. Shoot, move, shoot. Use cover when available. Be prepared for another fight ... in court. Say nothing until you have consulted your lawyer.

A large volcano produces more CO2 than all the automobiles in America. In recent years, we have seen increased volcanic eruptions with no accompanying increase in global temperatures. Ocean beds continuously emit CO2 the world over in volumes that dwarf CO2 creation by human sources. A scintilla of common sense leaves one with the unavoidable conclusion that the small amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere by human activity has an insignificant effect on global temperature and it cannot be legitimately argued otherwise ... except in the sense that one rock thrown in the ocean raises global sea level. Yet, the GW Chicken Littles continue to scream, "The global temperature is rising! The global temperature is rising!"

Contrary to public ignorance, Muhammed was NOT a peaceful, Ghandi-like proselyte of Islam, he was a war-lord who roamed the known world at the head of a Muslim army of conquest. He ranged far and wide, giving people the choice of converting to Islam or being killed, and this method is the one he recommended to his followers. So, Muslim prophet he may be but he was definitely not a non-violent ascetic in the mode of a Mahatma Ghandi, wandering the earth convincing infidels that Islam is the true religion. This man obviously took his religious training waaaay too seriously.

Yes, I do remember the Global Cooling scam. As someone who likes winter and snowy weather, I was greatly looking forward to it and was disappointed when it turned out to be a scam. Oh, well.

Actually, there have been any number of real scientists who have refuted the GW 'Chicken Littles' but the politically correct minions among grant-seeking, greenie, eco-scientists have viciously attacked their dissenting colleagues, seriously affecting their ability to earn a livelihood. Not many people have the character and integrity necessary to stand their ground in the face of such abuse. So, the PC Nazis have been successful over the years in silencing dissenting voices regarding the GW hoax ... UNTIL recently, when huge scandals have revealed their craven lies and fraudulent creation of fake data designed to support their hoax. GW may be the biggest hoax in history; one that has cost taxpayers and consumers untold $trillions.

Sounds like an "asteroid sequester" crisis to me.

The concept of women serving in combat roles is dangerously naive and fatally flawed. It is a folly of monumental proportion. The military is not an "employer" and combat functions are not "jobs." Our military exists for the purpose of closing with and destroying our enemies, which is probably the most difficult, physically demanding challenge we ever face. If we field women in combat roles, the combat effectiveness of their units will be compromised. They will be defeated and killed in ways more horrendous than you can imagine. Our nation's security will consequently be compromised. This is not about a sorority pledge, it is about the very survival of our nation.

That use of makeup by women serving in the military is even being discussed is ridiculous. They not only should not wear makeup, they should not be allowed to wear makeup. Women in the military should dress exactly the same as the men, live exactly the same (in the same facilities with the men), cut their hair exactly the same, etc. These things are important to morale, unit cohesion, field hygiene, etc. (i.e., important to combat effectiveness) and should not be compromised in order to suit the aesthetic sensibilities of women. Period.

If women are suited to serve with men in combat, then they are qualified to play with men in the NFL. If women are physically capable of combat roles, why are there no women playing as linemen in the NFL? The entire idea of women serving with men in combat roles is dangerously naive. Combat units populated with women will be handily defeated and our nation's security will be in the balance. What will be the ultimate consequence of this folly? Do you speak Chinese, Russian, or Arabic?
