    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    Isn't that what an argument/debate is - Us vs Them, one side vs the other? I don't accept the premise that the views on either side are extremest, or necessarily harmful for that matter. The denial of Israel's right to exist might be an exception. However, this sort of labeling tactic is just a...

    Top 3 Expediting Companies in the US?

    Considering revenue generated by ground expedite loads, I think your last sentence sums it up. Of course FECC generates a lot of their revenue from White Glove and Ex1 has grown by acquisition and merger to the size they are now. I'd have to disagree about Tri State considering the deterioration...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    And we're supposed to believe that the "left wing-nuts" aren't trained to repeat "left wing" talking points? Funny how "compromise" seems to be defined as the conservatives having to bend to accommodate liberal positions. Anyone who doesn't agree with the liberal point of view, or the mushy...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    There are various opinions on the Middle East problems, but the Left always seems to ignore one undeniable fact of life - the Palestinians, lead by their terrorist organizations are rooted in the belief that Israel has no right to exist. This fundamental attitude is not going to change, in spite...

    White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden

    Re: White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Lad If the SEALS had gone into that compound and found it empty, we would have never heard about it. In fact, I'll bet that has happened quite a few times, especially if the decision makers took 16 hours to make a...

    "Supporting" Adult Babies....

    Why would this couple be any different than a pair of homosexuals asking for the right to be "united" and live their lives as they please, not bothering anyone. Can these two get a civil union? How about marriage? What happens if they decide they want a little brother or sister to keep baby Huey...

    Ron Paul raid not needed

    Especially this one - it's the first decision he's made that had positive results. However, let's hope that it won't be used as ample reason for the US prematurely withdrawing from Afghanistan. It just amazes me how many people - liberals and a certain percentage of the general population alike...

    the Fed Rserve and our Fed Gov...

    Just for the sake of perspective, here's some other costs for food in 1907 - location, Morris County, NJ. All this supported on an avg wage of about 22 cents per hour.

    How many are really running the freight?

    I'm inclined to agree with the 70% number, considering the HOS rules that come into play, the usual down time for maint., repairs, etc. and just time off. When the equipment availability lists are sent out to the customers and staff, about 70% of the fleet is a close estimate.

    Americans are living in 1984

    I see we've aroused some phony indignation from a couple of newly registered alter-egos. I promise to do my best to continue postings that will hopefully add to your revulsion. Contributing to the discussion is obviously beyond your meager abilities, but that's not the purpose of your new...

    Atlas is shrugging, something leftists think never happens

    No natural use? I beg to differ: "Gold is used in an incredibly wide range of technologies. In each of the applications it is used, gold provides outstanding performance due to its unique technical properties. It combines high conductivity with corrosion resistance, and can be physically...

    Americans are living in 1984

    I think this "1984" syndrome has been going on for quite a while. The MSM has become so influential with an uneducated, uninformed, gullible public that anything they say is taken as gospel. Only in America could a president with such a dismal record in office be described as "unbeatable"...

    Here we go again, houses for $1 down

    When we have a socialist like Obama in the White House whose message is supported by his willing accomplices in the MSM, the public easily loses sight of the economic big picture. Businesses aren't created to provide jobs - they're created to make money. When successful companies and businessmen...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    I know Turtle should be the one answering this, but I'll take a shot at it too since I like shooting fish in a barrel. Here's a hint - remember the goatherds? To allow them to return to their village was the worst possible course of action. Secondly, that the Lt. brought it up for discussion is...

    Ron Paul

    Remember how Clinton gutted our military and intelligence agencies? It takes a long time to rebuild intelligence personnel, especially in Arab areas that are so sensitive to outsiders. Considering what the Obama administration is now doing we may never get back to where we should be in...

    Ron Paul

    One thing about Ron Paul is that he's consistent in his positions and beliefs. A lot of what he says sounds good, but his isolationist policies don't fit today's world. After tonight's show in SC, I'll have to admit to being a lot more interested in Herman Cain. Pawlenty did pretty well also...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    Having not read anything beyond the article from Yahoo news, it seems to me that in another time and place not too long ago the aftermath from this incident might have been totally different. First of all, it appears that Murphy and his crew totally abandoned their orders and the object of their...

    I Love How Stupid The Birthers Look

    Playing off the above point - since we'll assume that he had the birth certificate all along, why didn't he just produce it when the request was first brought up? Now the same thing with the "Dead Osama" photos - why doesn't he just produce one or two of them and be done with it. The claims of...
