Well said, Ernest. And Thank you for your service! We are a multi-generation military family and sincerely appreciate our men and women in uniform!

When in doubt play the "bigotry" card.

" there is no constitutional right to serve in the military. Military service is always a privilege (and sometimes an obligation), but it is never a “right.” " Excellent article! I'm so tired of groups bewailing the incursion of others on what they considor their constitutional rights. What they are looking for is someone - anyone - to give validation to a lifestyle that is outside what is considered by the majority of American citizens to be outside the norm. We really need to push for term limits on judicial appointments. Lifetime appointees have nothing to lose so they happily a push their own agenda.

Yes, I do read labels, and that's a VERY good point! I wish more people would do this. I can almost always find what I need without "Made in China-Mexico-Pakistan" on the label. If I can't I often do without. Yes, it's a pain and I usually pay a little more, but I have my moral outrage to keep me warm, LOL (Sue me, I do have a Dell computer and I put gas in my Ford!) I also agree that Islam is infiltrating and trying to crush every aspect of Americanism...and the "progressives" are putting down the red carpet for them. I was in Europe last year ( France, Italy and Germany) and saw first-hand how Socialism, open borders and political correctness have worked out, and it ain't good! Emperor Obama and his buddies are trying to take the...

I certainly DON'T sanction China (or anyone else) stomping us, but with Obama's policies and spending it is a real possibility. We won't even be able to pay the interest on these loans without massive tax increases. He and his cronies are deconstructing our economy while undermining our collective identity as a great and honorable nation. Look to California to see what the US will become if we don't get off our backsides and work to get them out. The quote at the end refers to Obama's attempted implementation of every leftist idea that comes along. To Richard...I stopped shopping at Walmart about 8 months ago ! ! ! "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for YOURSELF!"

Well, we don't need to worry about Islamists infiltrating and taking over the USA...we owe China so much in debt that, when ( NOT IF ) they call in their markers, the USA will end up as "China Lite". Then, since China's attitude on civil rights is "civil what?" , they will come in and clear out the Muslims and have a nice dinner of Moo Shu Pork to celebrate. Thanks Barry - and tell your slimey political lap dogs thanks, too. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it." JGalt

"It is very hard for us to describe something higher than health, or more important than the relief of suffering,..." HOW ABOUT LIFE? Stem cells are also harvested from cord blood retreived at birth. Why can't researchers buy cord blood after deliveries?
