No but I keep fighting against liberal nonsense. I don't give up when things get tough.
You can't just take your ball and go home then expect to get invited back to the park when everything falls apart. People who think this way are cowards. If you can't fathom staying in the fight then go home, really we don't need this sort of thinking.
I don't disagree with your ascertion but I disagree with using the word deranged. Your comment was witty enough, you didn't need to resort to name calling. Maybe you are coming down with a case of Romnesia and you are forgetting your manners.
Trump is transparent. He's all about numero uno. Republicans should not allow themselves to get twisted up in his non-sense.
Scandalous! The guy allegedly behind this video has been in prison for nearly a month now and will remain there until at least 09 November 2012. Here's how I see it. This administration lied about the attack. Arrested a U.S. citizen to support their lie. And as a result of their lie, they gave an obscure YouTube video more publicity than it would have drawn on its own. Thank you for pointing this out. The way I see it, the administration shares some responsibility for inflaming the lunatics in the Middle East. If they didn't falsely hold up this video, other protests probably wouldn't have happened right after the Benghazi attack.
John Hanlon, if you are interested in sharpening up your interviewing skills I think that you would benefit from watching this video again. There was a lot of nervous laughter in this interview. John Voight is a big personality. I would have been nervous too. Maybe its something you should actively work on.

Anne, I'm not a lawyer so my opinion on the law is only that of the common man. With that being said, I respectfully disagree with you. You do a nice job of cutting and pasting (and capitalizing) but there is a whole lot more to American law than what you are presenting such as the ability of Congress to write law and the role of the courts in our legal system. Without getting too deeply into something I am not an expert in, let me end by saying this, I am abhorred with the policy this country has on airport security. I think that it is motivated by political correctness and not common sense. Also, I am almost equally taken aback by people who start saying "That's un-Constitutional!" when they have no education or background in...

If we lived in some magical land where a totally free and open society could self regulate, you'd be right. But that's not the case. There is nothing wrong with government, as long as its limited. We need government, a limited one, to do certain things for us. One of those things is to provide for the security of the citizenry. Airlines are highly regulated; their pilots, aircraft, and operations, are all heavily regulated by the government yet no one thinks we should allow the airlines to self regulate on those matters. An airplane in flight is a potentially dangerous thing, thousands of them in flight at once, adds to the risk of something going catastrophically wrong. While I don't agree with our country's policy on airport...

I abhor flying. I can't stand the idea that I, a veteran and current Federal employee who has an active security clearance, has to subject myself and my children to an intrusive search by the government's goon squad. I hate to denigrate the people working at TSA but I can't defend them either. I think that there are a lot of people who work within this organization who have been given too much power to abuse the public and they do it because they are witless little people.

That is not what the Tenth amendment says. Is the power to license pilots and doctors in the Constitution? The government regulates that, is that un-Constitutional as well?

Jake, Congress has the power to legislate. They are able to write laws about a lot of things that are not 'explicitly spelled out'. Yes, there are certain liberties they cannot infringe upon when they write law but that leads me to my first question to you, how is the TSA un-Constitutional? Are you saying that the Constitution has to state that the government can create an entity to enforce security at airports? Doug. I don't get it, how does the Tenth Amendment make the TSA un-Constitutional?
