    McConnell: No real deficit deal until Obama is gone

    This Obama quote tells us a lot about his mentality and how little he understands about the economic consequences of his actions: "I will not accept a deal that allows me to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars that I don't need..." YouTube - ‪Obama Explains His Socialist Vision‬‏ He...

    God banned from VA cemetery

    She's probably another appointment by Barack Hussein Obama. After writing that sentence, I decided to do some checking; sure enough.... "For approximately 10 years before joining the National Cemetery Administration, Ocasio held various positions in the VA West Side Medical Center in...

    Only in California...

    Right on - leave the sexual orientation, skin color, etc. out of the lesson. The other part of the proposed lesson that bothers me is in the last sentence of the quote: "It also would prohibit material that reflects adversely on gays." Is there any doubt there's a biased agenda in play here...

    Only in California...

    ...would the lawmakers submit to their Governor a law requiring the public schools to teach the historical contributions of homosexuals and transvestites - at taxpayers' expense of course. "California lawmakers on Tuesday sent the governor a bill that would make the state the first requiring...

    For All The Beck Haters...

    "Pretty sure" eh? Based on...? Besides, what's her physical appearance got to do with anything? I guess someone needs to be attractive like Michael Moore or Rosie O'Donnell before their opinions are taken seriously by a liberal audience.

    For All The Beck Haters...

    One of the reasons I like Ann Coulter is that she counters liberals - both verbally and literally - in their own lexicon. Although occasionally a bit crude, she's very effective in driving home the points that expose them for what they are: weak, noisy cowards that practice all the sins against...

    Slick Rick...

    After reading the article, he sounds even better. Cutting frivilous education spending? Imagine that! Questioning the research emphasis in the state's two top universities? Maybe he thinks these stuffy liberal professors should be spending more time teaching. A hard-nosed campaigner, perhaps not...

    It is Official....Bachmann for President...

    Oh My!! An opinion that runs against the MSM trend. But maybe there are others that don't follow the liberal dogma... "I'm the last person who wants to inject identity politics into any equation, but I can't help but wonder what role, if any, their gender may be playing here -- not just that...

    It is Official....Bachmann for President...

    The Bachmann candidacy shows once again why it's been so long since a member of the House has been elected President. For that matter, candidates from the Senate aren't that much better. In spite of all the mystery candidates being bandied about, we need to come back to reality and deal with the...

    For Dog Lovers: Beware AIHA

    Sorry to hear about that - I've been off the screen for a few days of R&R. Sounds like you did all you could for him; it's good to know these tidbits of information to help prevent health problems for our furry family members. As you implied, one of the most important things everyone should...

    Hedging their bets

    Think back to Clinton's opponent in that election - Bob Dole. He ran one of the most ineffective campaigns in history. Also, remember it was "the economy, stupid" that made the difference. It will be the economy again in 2012. Wrong - there will be adequate money. You may think you have an...

    The Russian Navy deals with Somalian Pirates

    If you read the comments, toward the bottom of the first page (at 140 comments) someone claiming to be Russian said they blew up the pirate vessel but left the pirates at sea on an inflatable raft with no means of propulsion, no food or water. Also, lots of comments about this being a hoax but...

    US Express gets into Expediting

    I agree with that up to a point. However, let's go back for a minute to these carriers that work with 3PLs that bid loads by e-mail. Some carriers miss a lot of loads because they will not go below - for example - 1.15 per mile + fsc. Suppose they could get 30% more loads if they would bid 1.10...

    US Express gets into Expediting

    Considering the rates some carriers are charging for freight out of MI to TN, it's not that bad a deal, especially if it's regular trips. When 3PLs like USX put expedite loads out on a bid basis, it's not that unusual to see cargo van loads go for $1 per mile plus fsc. If the driver gets paid...

    Hedging their bets

    I beg to differ; the money will come to the GOP once the candidate is selected - IT'S STILL EARLY. Yes, BHO has a head start and although his message is really not that clear his intent is well known. He wants to take the US into European socialism and tear down our capitalist free market...

    Hedging their bets

    This is admittedly repeating myself, but I'll say it again anyway - it's still VERY early in the GOP primary process, and the voters have yet to determine the frontrunner or bring the platform into focus. By the time the primaries are over the GOP nominee will have a clearer message and more...

    Pit bulls rip arms off a 74 yo veteran

    Yet another victim - guess he wasn't a veteran. Maybe people just get desensitized after so many articles.

    Pit bulls rip arms off a 74 yo veteran

    This must be some kind of record for wandering away from the thread's original subject matter: from "Pit bulls rip arms off 74 yo veteran" to theories regarding the origin of the universe :confused:

    Pit bulls rip arms off a 74 yo veteran

    There's obviously a history with those dogs and their owners and as is usually the case, nobody wants to bear responsibility. Whether it seems reasonable or not, pit bull types have a bad reputation throughout the country right now because of the high number of attacks by this breed resulting in...
