Great Article! Thanks for civilizing the discussion. I will vote my head and my gut this year! Mitt and his family look and feel genuine. I just hope he is as good as we need him to be to "right the course".

Paulus- You hit the nail on the head!! (with the exception of not voting for Romney...) I lean strong Libertarian but will vote for Romney. No candidate is perfect. We just need to keep the pressure on all these ya-hoos to convince them we need more liberty, not less. More sound policy, not illusions. Good article from Benko. Keep pounding the drum.

I'd love to see them teach this stuff in school, but our children in public schools are only exposed to the leftest union agenda... sad.

I believe in the Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and died on the Cross of Calvary. He is the ONLY way, the truth and the Life! No man cometh to the Father, but by him (Christ). I follow Him the best way I know how. And Capt-Call,...I pray for the best for you and may God have mercy on us all in the end as we have all fallen short in one way or another. We're just trying to live the best we know how. Peace to you. God bless.

It's so easy to lull people into "passive security" when things are so complicated and complex that a nation falls asleep when they should be sounding the alarm. SMALL Government is much easier to monitor and change. The Liberal's WMD is complexity, sophistry, and misdirection...EASY to do with huge bureaucracies! WAKE-UP people!

My heart goes out to Jack for the suffering of his people. Oppression anywhere hurts all civilized humanity. It is scarcely imaginable how we go about our daily lives (in relative, lavish comfort) when such things are happening in the present...and a "commander in chief" who has broken so many promises that in hind sight, now seem purposefully deceitful, and convenient to his purpose to get elected. What a sham... and a shame.... Mr. President

Way to go Slinkiecat! Couldn't have said it better!

God Bless Mothers and Dads everywhere who have to make these tough choices. I've heard it said that in the 'end' we will all wish we had spent more time with those we love the most. I am forever grateful for my angel mom who was at home with us, and only went on to a (paying) job after we were grown. Her sacrifice has propelled her six children on to much greater heights, and I will fall short if I do not do the same for my children. We all stand on the shoulders of other people who believed in us. And thanks to my Dad who worked in complete partnership with my Mom to see her dreams fulfilled, too.

This was hilarious... bravo.

There are other very, worthy cancer orgs. to donate to that DON'T give anything to abortion related services. I will vote with my pocketbook next time I give.
