I"m pretty sick of this whole "Native American" spiel. Learn history, look at what happened to nations/states/tribes that were defeated, they were either wiped out or absorbed. The greatest crime Americans did to the "Native" (they immigrated here too) Peoples was not conquering them, but rather not absorbing them into America as a conquered people, instead sticking them on the reservations to spend generations in poverty and Government dependance. Really it was a precursor to the inner city and the destruction of black Americans.

Senator Rubio, what the heck were you thinking endorsing that immigration clusterf**k? Immigration reform starts with one simple principle. Secure the border. That on only that should be your first step, nothing else. No compromise, no conditons, no deals. In fact the legislation should include stiff penalties for those that impede the enforcement of our immigration laws. Get that done and implemented, then you talk about everything else. Finally the issue with illegal immigration that no one seems to mention is that most do not want to be Americans. They aren't here to become Americans and build a life here like previous and other immigrants. They want the bennies and then go home to Mexico. The Italians, Irish, Armenians, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, etc. came here to build a life, to be come a part of America. The illegals are like ticks, they want to engorge themselves on the wealth America has to offer and then drop off when they've had their fill.

How is being a decent human being heroic? It seems we set the bar pretty low for what qualifies as heroism nowdays. Come out as being gay in a society where gyas are a protected group? You're a hero! Let a desperate woman screaming for help out of a house? You're a hero! Had Ramsey risked life and limb to help those women THEN he'd be a hero. As it is he behaved as a decent human being. Overuse of the term cheapens it and goes to the mentality of "ooooh you showed up! you get a Gold Star!" instead of limiting it to those who go above and beyond.

Also I'd like to say it's sad to see great and intelligent people like Dr. Williams, Dr. Sowell, and Dr. Carson, and Bill Cosby who have the solutions so desperately needed yet are ignored by blacks. I wish that African-Americans would listen and join me as my fellow Americans, where we live MLK's dream.

Bill the "Black race" as you term it doesn't exist only in America. Most of the nations of Africa are third world hell holes rife with Africans killing other Africans over damn near anything and everything just like in the inner cities of America. Many Africans who have immigrated to Europe have created little pockets that are miniture imitations of their third world origins no matter if its France, Norway, germany, or England. I'm sure somone is going to cry "racist" but its sadly true, and Islam certainly doesn't help matters either. If the truth hurts say "ouch".

Hydrogen & Stupidity. The two most abundant things in the universe.

Not really. I expect typos and such from the peanut gallery, people who get paid for these articles I hold to a higher standard.

Mr. Hewitt, you need to proof read your article and/or fire the editor. "crwod of gun control absolutists afte Newton" and "real journaiism has been abandoned" It seems real writing standards have been abandoned at Town Hall.

Really? D.C. repealed the death penalty in 1992. In 2009 it had 24 murders per 100k people. More than any state. http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0308.pdf Also there are just as many low murder rate states with the Death Penalty in your chart as those without. Therefore the repeal of the death penalty has NO statistical correlation to murder rates. Try again. Idiot.
