    Leftist Censorship?

    Sorry, but that's just subjective analysis. To imply that the MSM and cable alphabet networks have a few big lies and a few little ones is just not factual. The MSM have plenty of little white ones to go along with the big black ones. Here again, all these networks have a slant and most of them...

    What if Rep. Joe Salazar (D, CO) Were GOP?

    We all remember what happened to MO Candidate Todd Akin after he made the "legitimate rape" comment. Suppose someone in the GOP had said this: Just another legislation proposal from the "we know what's best for you" party, since Salazar seems to think young college-aged women don't have the...

    Leftist Censorship?

    We'll have to agree to disagree on the trust issue. IMHO yes - once caught misrepresenting the facts a news organization's credibility diminishes. But no - their level of credibility is not black or white, but shades of gray. For the sake of argument let's ignore the left/right slant; if someone...

    Leftist Censorship?

    No sense in re-hashing all the points and counter-points since my last post - and I think it was conceded from the outset that Fox News Channel has a conservative slant to most of its programming. However, I do want to get back to the main point I was perhaps unsuccessfully trying to make: OK...

    The Difference

    Should Dr. Carson choose to run for public office against the Dems, he would no doubt be subjected to the same character assassination & demonization as Romney or any other significant candidate. Considering his profession and length of tenure at his position, he's most likely WEALTHY. Being...

    Leftist Censorship?

    That sounds like the Kool-Aid responding Preaching to the choir? There is no "choir". Fox, MSNBC, CNN and all the others preach to the PUBLIC who are free to change channels at any time. If a subject mentioned is the truth, it can not be knocked down. If Fox accurately refutes a false claim of...

    Rand Paul SOTU Response

    For those who missed Sen. Rand Paul's response to Obama's State Of The Union speech last night, here's the link: 2013 Tea Party Response | Tea Party Express His speech only lasts about 14 min, and it's well worth the time considering the substance he offers. He made some excellent points...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    Didn't back down from anything. My opinions are just that - opinions, and I've provided links to articles and reports upon which these opinions are based. If you don't understand them that's your problem. You, on the other hand provide nothing but unsupported verbal bilge and desperate attempts...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    Here are some other quotes from Chris Kyle's book, American Sniper. Regarding his first sniper kill, a woman with a grenade near a group of Marines: "It was my duty to shoot, and I don't regret it. The woman was already dead. I was just making sure she didn't take any Marines with her. It was...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    The article states that group therapy is "likely the most beneficial" method of treatment for PTSD. Sounds like that's pretty well slanted to the positive side of the obvious scale. As LOS pointed out, every patient is unique and individual results from the different types of therapy will vary...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    It may not be obvious to you, but to anyone who bothers to check out the link I provided or knows anything about the problems faced by returning vets can recognize the obvious. There can be no doubt that group therapy is beneficial for PTSD sufferers. "Group psychotherapy is likely the most...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    The post to which I referred taken in context, is blatantly uninformed - and that's an understatement. PTSD patients obviously benefit from "been there, done that" group therapy. Also, there's a big difference between arrogance and self confidence - hubris is the wrong word in the first place...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    It's difficult, if not impossible for those who have never been in combat to understand the mentality of those that were. "The object of war is not to die for your country, but make the other b*****d die for his." - Gen. George S. Patton

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    According to CNN, "...Authorities said Kyle, 38, often took veterans with post traumatic stress to the gun range as a way of bonding with and mentoring them." http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/04/politics/navy-seal-sniper-shooting/index.html The general public has no way of knowing what Kyle's...

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    Not quite; military service in a hospital or behind a desk in an office bldg is certainly commendable, but just not at the same level as service in combat. So far there's been no explanation as to why they had this Routh guy out on the range other than trying to work with his PTSD, which...

    Agreed - Feds need to stay out of it. Fifty years ago JFK dismantled mental health programs run by the states and created an expensive disaster. Control should be returned to the states. E. Fuller Torrey: Fifty Years of Failing America's Mentally Ill - WSJ.com

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    To add another chapter to this sad story, it turns out this is another case of an obviously mentally ill nut case being allowed to run loose among the public posing an obvious threat. The US mental health laws need to be seriously reformed so that people like this can hopefully be confined and...
