Get used to it. You won't have to go anywhere to visit the third wolrd -- it's coming to us. Wonder what it's like to live in Kenya? You're about to find out.

Like Obummer gives a s__t.

It's not "white doughy (whatever that is) wingnuts" who killed 600 in Chicago last year, and I doubt they own "7.9 guns." Most shooters don't own the firearms they use, and they're usually stolen. As for the ones doing the shootings, they belong in jail. Many belong in mental insititutions before they can commit the crimes, but the leftist kooks think that would hurt their feelings, so they're allowed to run loose, and some of them even end up in positions such as vice president.. They are not squarely in my camp, as the vast majority of the shooters are left-leaning nut jobs. I happen to be listening to Rush as I type this. You should listen to him some time -- you might learn something, you leftist kook.

We are mainstream middle America. The leftist kooks andf the Obama butt boy media are the fringe.

Kind of makes you wonder who grades the education systems, and if the products are of any use, doesn't it?

I'd give her $20, a paper bag, and make her promise to be done and be gone before Leno. She would also have to provide her own condoms, since I already paid for them.

Back in the good old days, a person was naturally considered mentally imbalanced if they committed heinous crimes, but that didn't stop the deserved punishment. Today, they call them mentally ill. Back in the good old days, they were called criminals and they were locked up or executed. There was little concern that a killer or rapist may be "stigmatized" because of a conviction and punishment.

I thought it appropriate that your headline, "The War On Mental Health" would feature a photo of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. "If there's step we can take that will save even one child .... we should take that step." Well, Tweedledum, why don't you start with closing down Planned Parenthood?

Correct. Criminals don't get background checks before they break into a house and steal the firearms for later use. Neither do gun runners do background checks when they sell firearms from the trunks of their cars. Only law-abiding citizens have known firearm records on file with the feds.

ditto. Nothing to add.

"How are Austin and Houston more advanced in this field than Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, DC, LA, etc?" I can think of two possibilities: The difference in the quality of education, and few or no public employee unions in Texas. Actually, the two are closely related. A third reason may be leadership and the firm grip on competence and quality that is required by the Texas Department of Health.
