Looks like something SNL's "Ladies Man" would have said. Is that Courvoisier he's swilling, waiting for is lady to come back from the clinic? "Uh, yeah, I'm glad you took care of that little problem you were trying to tell me about...now let's get on with it"
I've read plenty of "climate change" articles describing the dire effects which "may" happen, or "could be caused" by human activity. This article and study fall in the same category of overhyped scaremongering based on minimal data. If you fry human skin cells laced with titanium dioxide in these fluorescent lights, the cells may be damaged and become cancerous. I'm against the forced use of these bulbs; but this study is useful only to irritate some of the liberal/green crowd. Keeping two feet of distance from a light bulb is generally what you do in any event; and that's all the study really advises.

Any statistics on those numbers you throw around? I live in a small-medium sized metropolitan area in the northeast, with several Walmart stores, including one in the center of the city. Other local retailers continue to exist, though some have had to become more competitive to maintain customers. Small, local stores will survive by providing specialty products or services which customers don't find at Walmart or other large chains. I know where to shop other than Walmart for the best delicatessen items, low-priced produce, hardware items with knowledgeable instruction, and better quality clothing. When I want brand-name groceries, housewares, small appliances and other items, Walmart (or Target, Kmart, et al) saves me a lot of money.

Why flag this poster? I think his comments are foolish, but are they really offensive enough to block from posting?
So the minimum wage has to track the poverty threshold in order to comport with the "Social Justice" agenda? A $12 per hour minimum wage now would purge many young and part-time employees from entry-level or second income jobs not expected to sustain a family or even an individual's basic life expenses.

It's quite a delicate operation, to let the patient feel the effects of bad medicine for the next 4 years without fatality. The consequences of Obama's heinous policies will become obvious enough even to some of his re-election cohort to make another such President much less likely. The entrenched hordes of those dependent upon nanny-state support will be ready to pull the lever again, but conservatism can prevail if it appears the nation can still be saved. Walk through the fire, and learn.
The next wave of promising conservatives just weren't ready to make a credible challenge to an incumbent President. Romney was the best chance for victory. A few different tactics might have made the difference, but the man worked tirelessly to present a positive and sound vision, which the current electorate would not recognize or accept. Bitter pills to swallow, and we have to work to redirect or resist Obama's most dangerous impulses while educating enough voters to prevail.
Who was this candidate not chosen by the GOP? Newt? Smart guy, probably would have been more aggressive in the debates, but his personal baggage would have been exploited constantly. Santorum? Would have been presented as a rigid ideologue who lost his Senate seat in a landslide ( I voted for him all 3 times in PA). Rick Perry? A short flash of popularity but self-destructed; and didn't toe the tea party line on immigration. Ron Paul? his positions on defense and currency pulled in some libs, but alienated a lot more of the base. Huntsman? RINO who accepted an ambassadorship from Obama. Romney actually had to overcome a lot of opposition from GOP "establishment" figures to win the nomination.
As a real-life political ad, this thing is hideous, but you have to give it its due as a clever piece of music. Virtually everything it says is outrageously false propaganda projected through kids who couldn't possibly understand more than a fraction of what they sing. Yet it states the lyrics coherently and fits them to the musical format. I had to laugh through clenched teeth. It won't persuade anyone, and probably turns off a few undecided voters, but compared to the trash put out by most of the juvenile left, it's impressive.
I didn't care for using the word "folks" for these terrorists, and I clearly remember George Bush using that word on 9-11 in one of his first statements to the nation--"find the folks who did this." Thought it was an odd word to use, but thought it might have been a Texan thing.
If you say "America has at times been arrogant" or "has attempted to dictate to other nations" you are either apologizing or boasting.
