Considering the uproar that was caused by the Patriot Act with its wiretapping and other intrusions on our civil rights, why aren't we seeing similar outrage and judicial actions from the public and their members of Congress over the murder of one of their fellow citizens? I still think that if...

Here's the bottom line: if Ron Paul or any other member of Congress had any shred of substance with which to base all these so-called constitutional transgressions involved with the Al-Awlaki killing, they owe it to the American public to file articles of impeachment against Obama and his...

Something that not many people realize is that Ol' Bocephus is not the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with - and he's always had a problem relationship with John Barleycorn and other demons of a chemical nature. Any TV crew that invites him for an interview should know what they're...

The Senate Joint Resolution 23 in 2001 authorized the military engagement in Afghanistan to wipe out Al Quaeda and the Taliban. The vote in the House was 420-1 (Paul was NOT the 1) in favor and the Senate voted 98-0 in favor. The House Joint Resolution 114 in 2003 authorized the use of force...

In spite of all the constitutional discussion regarding Al-Awlaki's killing, what's missing in all these posts are examples of what this guy was saying and doing that made him dangerous to the point of being guilty of treason. Everyone seems to have forgotten his support of and involvement with...

There's a good article by Prof. John Yoo in today's Wall St. Journal that offers a contrary opinion to this train of thought. "American citizens who join the enemy do not enjoy a roving legal force-field that immunizes them from military reprisal. President Abraham Lincoln confronted this...

An excellent article by Peter Finn offering more food for thought regarding the successful Al-Awlaki drone attack. Evidently, the powers that be felt certain they had their legal ducks in a row when they placed this guy on their capture or kill list. "The Justice Department wrote a secret...

You remember "the definition of what 'IS' is? Then what is the definition of "FAIR"? Is it FAIR that the top 10% of wage earners pay roughly 70% of all the income taxes collected, while the lower 46% of wage earners pay no income taxes? Or course they pay other taxes like FICA, MediCare, etc -...

I'll say again - the 3d party candidate has to have large enough numbers to deny at least one of the other candidates a significant percentage of the vote. Let's say the polls show the three candidates split the vote 35-35-20% with the 3d party getting 20% and 10% undecided in late summer or...

Everyone forgets that Hillary's "dislike factor" was over 50% when she was running for the Democrat nomination, and no one has ever won it with that level of personal disapproval. So BHO was running against a weak opponent, but given it was Slick Willie's wife it shows the weakness of her...

Several of us have been saying the same thing for several years, but this guy hits the nail on the head. Not saying McCain would have won, but had it not been for the obvious bias on the part of the MSM, Hillary would have more than likely been the Democrat nominee.

For those that believe Paul is the real deal - do everything you can to help him get the GOP nomination, and forget the "too old" stuff. However, if he doesn't wind up being the Republican nominee he's out of the picture. The reality in this country at this point in time is that the two-party...

Not forgetting - I agree with that 100%. Bush was not a radical right-winger as the MSM so often tried to portray him. He was a mushy moderate, especially on social issues. Fiscally, Bush was badder - but Obama is worser.

Strawman my ###. This post of yours is a fine example of nitpicking and splitting hairs with statements made by others in a lame effort to cast aspersions on their integrity. It makes no difference whether or not the number of missiles missing in Libya is EXACTLY 20,000 or 16,947 - any...

Geez Tbub - you're going to have to learn to be more specific to keep your posts from being nitpicked apart for lack of all-important details. The number of missiles might be 19,999 or 20,002 and your assertion is revealed as "not true".:( In the final analysis, does it really matter how many...

There doesn't seem to be any other candidate promising gasoline prices under $2 per gallon. Ya think???:eek:

That's right - and it's up the voters to hold their elected officeholders to their campaign promises. The fact remains that govt spending under Obama has increased expoentially since he took office; he and the Democrat controlled congress passed a bill for socialized medicine that the public was...

It amazes me that so many people can't tell the difference between the most radically liberal president this country's ever had and even the moderate GOP candidates. The first item to consider might be the fact that these candidates have pledged to repeal, defund or issue to the states a blanket...

I'm still trying to figure out who the above character(s) resemble - Sonny or Cher?

OK - I got curious and looked up the demographics myself. Looks like a mostly white, middle class district that leans heavily Democrat. Previous representatives were Dan Rostenkowski, Rod Blagojevich, and Rahm Emanuel. Illinois's 5th congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
