So even though we lost more people - innocent civilians at that - in the 911 attacks than we did at Pearl Harbor, those deaths for some reason don't count? We were attacked multiple times by a highly organized group of radical Muslim fanatics that want to destroy our way of life. Clinton and his...

Guess we'll once again have to agree to disagree over some of these issues. That being said, it's nice for most everyone's benefit to be able to discuss the issues and argue our respective points of view without calling each other morons. But from my perspective it seems that our problems are...

You're d*mn right it does! It's obvious you guys aren't from the South :D Bama just put on one of the most dominating displays in National Championship history: 21-0 over a great LSU team in what was practically a home game for the Tigers in New Orleans. The BCS was lucky again this year in...

Try telling that to the residents of New York City or the folks that worked in the Pentagon ten years ago.

The issue with the Straits of Hormuz is a perfect example of why we need a naval military presence in that part of the world, in addition to bases set up with our allies like Saudi Arabia. In spite of all their bluster, Iran will not attempt to close the straits and risk losing their entire navy...

It's an election year so the "us vs. them" factor is magnified, especially considering the current president and the need for his defeat. True, it's a constitutional thing and in the long run that's more important. True, the GOP shoulda' handled it differently when Reid first started it. Right...

Here's something to think about for the "doubting Thomases": these appointments are relatively small deals - but they set a possibly significant precedent. It the GOP lets this get by in the perceived interest of "just getting along" they will be making a huge mistake. What the Republicans need...

It's not about conspiracies, it's about political agendas. The facts and numbers from my earlier post speak for themselves. In the seven year period beginning in 2005 CREW has identified 134 individuals as being the most corrupt members of congress: 96 Republican (72%) compared to 38 Democrat...

We wouldn't want substance to get in the way, now would we? The fact of the matter is that the Pryor recess appointment did not occur under the same circumstances as these Obama appointments. The Senate had been in a declared recess approved by the House, and Pryor's appointment came within 10...

There seems to some confusion about recess appointments, such as the one with John Bolton. When he was appointed, there was an actual recess in effect with no pro-forma sessions being held. These latest appointments by Barack Hussein Obama were done in spite of the pro forma sessions going on...

Further into the statement it states he has also said he would make exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. All that aside, this is just fodder for the conservative base because - as you say in your last sentence - he's not going to do anything about abortion without...

Question: has any other president made recess appointments when the Senate was in session? Obviously, the WSJ referred to previously details the tactics being used are NOT UNPRECEDENTED: "Democrats had used a similar process to try to thwart Mr. Bush's recess appointments late in his term...

This is right on target, and it's obvious that the efforts of CREW in 2006 were geared toward Santorum's defeat in his reelection bid against Bob Casey that same year. Three different complaints were filed by CREW against Santorum, some of his staffers, and a network of Pastors that supported...

Just curious, after looking at Santorum a little bit - what makes you think he advocates govt. intrusion?

The Indiana Republicans are losing a golden opportunity to totally abuse the Democrats and expose them as obstructionist frauds for neglecting their duties as legislators - same problem that Wisconsin had. These states need to change their laws so that these situations are prevented instead of...

Agenda driven, also biased - especially when considering the link to the "Night Beat" clip above that one. Anyone who would equate "pursuit of happiness" with "I have a right to do whatever I want" is nothing more than a self-absorbed ignoramus that has no understanding of the Bill of Rights or...

Since Rick Santorum has come from nowhere to a photo finish with Romney in the IA caucuses, it might be useful to see where he stands on the issues. And from Santorum's website: Where I Stand | Rick Santorum for President And no, I'm not becoming a cheerleader for Rick Santorum. It's just that...

His record of victories in primaries and caucuses remains the same - zero, and he comes out of IA with nothing but a little additional publicity. The fact that Rick Santorum could come from single digits to bypass Paul and end up with a virtual tie with Romney for votes and split the IA...

The last paragraph tells us all we need to know about the author and the value of his political opinion based on his life's experiences in the real world. (bold emphasis mine)
