The protesters' issue is NOT a debate - it is simply a rancorous cry for "from each according to his investments, to each according to how much noise he can make". The truth is that these "protesters" have no real debatable "concerns" - they say that the "system" is unfair, and they want a piece of the wealth. The real truth is that they are misguided anarchists who have been brought up on liberal-socialist-Marxist drivel at exclusive colleges where liberal-socialist-Marxist professors hold sway, and encourage them to re-live the '60s by demanding destruction of what drives our economy, and turning the US into another European-style failed socialist state. Debate them? Good luck with that one. Compromise with them? Forget it.

You go Mike!!!

Yes, it is easy to hack an email account. But if there were no way to truly tell if the email was hacked or sent by the suspected individual, then any time a scandal broke involving email, the perfect defense would be "my email was hacked. Sorry, it's not that easy. If one traces the email back it will ultimately go to a server. Check the server records and it will lead to an IP address, which is computer specific. One can hack the server, but one must be on the same computer to have the same IP address. That's why an investuigation is warranted. If the IP address is the one on Pino's computer, game over.

WOW!!!
How can I help, Mike?

OK, folks, here's the deal.
Congress just passed the biggest entitlement in US history.
Social Security and other entitlements are broke.
US debt exceeds 12 TRILLION dollars. It will grow by 2 to 3 TRILLION a year very soon.
China is balking at loaning us more money.
Moody's is about to lower the US government's credit rating.
The government will have to print more money or borrow more to survive.
Hyper-inflation is on the horizon.
My advice - If you can pay off your mortgage, DO IT NOW!!
If things continue on the current path, 3 or 4 years from now your money may not be worth the paper it's printed on. But if you pay off your mortgage, at least you will have a roof over your head. My wife and I have paid our...

I doubt it.
If this case ends up in the Supreme Court, and if the Court stands for anything, Mike will win the case 7-2, with the 2 no votes being the two Obama appointees.
Mike, I know you will be back. I KNOW it.
I read you regularly and if you are serious that you must end your writing this column, then I am ashamed to be an American, and America as we have known it no longer exists.
I urge everyone to join the Tea Party and work to take America back from the idiots and perverts who have weaseled their way into authority.
The Revolution starts NOW!!

While Christian devoutness and religious belief systems are to be commended regardless of how fervent or outrageous they may seem to others, what the country really needs is a return to a moral framework reflecting the Judeo-Christian philosophical principles of which our Founding Fathers were all too aware, and upon which our Constitution and our country were founded.
Currently, with the current President and Congress, there is no moral compass guiding the decisions being made because to have such principles is not politically correct or expedient. So we have our elected officials selling out the American people for their own personal gain, and the gain of those like Obama, Pelosi and Reid (all of whom have become wealthy at our...

There are many definitions of "Christian", depending on the denomination and it's philosophy. Specific churches may disagree, but I like to define a Christian as one who believes in the Judeo-Christian principles and morals as delineated in Christ's biblical teachings. This means that one does not have to believe in any of the "miracles" of the Bible, or the supernatural events depicted. Rather, one need only believe in Christ's teachings to be essentially a Christian.
I often have this discussion with my liberal friends, and when I make a point based in Christian morals, they often say not to bring religion into the discussion, whereupon I ask them from what moral perspective do they derive their views. What usually follows is...
