There's a fabulous quote that's attributed to several people - George Orwell, Winston Churchill among them - that really hits home when discussing this topic: "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." But there are those...

"...the Constitution does NOT allow you to use FORCE to require a PRIVATE citizen to BUY health insurance." Am I interpreting this right? Are you saying that there's nothing in the constitution that says US citizens can not be forced by the government to buy health insurance?

I sort of agree with the idea of letting members of the military drink alcoholic beverages, but for a different reason. Just the fact that they have volunteered for service doesn't mean they're responsible drinkers. However, those in the military know that if they carry their drinking too far...

It should come as no surprise that the Constitution confuses him and that he doesn't understand it. I guess that sort of statement should be expected from the liberal members of "Generation Me". Don't forget that Barack Hussein Obama has also made it clear that he thinks the Constitution is a...

Here's an interesting link that addresses that point: D-Day Airborne and Beach Assault D-Day June 6, 1944 Considering the mindset of today's young people combined with our lack of heavy manufacturing capacity, one can't help but wonder if we could prevail if faced with a major military conflict.

We wouldn't want to offend our undocumented visitors now would we? Speaking of undocumented, I've always wondered why the Obama handlers won't release his long-form certificate - we've never seen anything from him that looks like this:

Just to clarify my earlier post - there's no question about Vick's guilt of killing the dogs, because it was part of his plea bargain. But anyone that would use animal torture as entertainment must have some defective wiring in the attic, and has no business being in professional sports. As...

Considering the level of animosity among the animal rights groups in the country, I'm a bit surprised that Obama would even acknowledge Vick's existance. Most presidents wouldn't have even remotely associated themselves with a sleazy character like Vick since their handlers are so acutely aware...

If that's the case, they shouldn't have a problem with right-to-work states.

The thing that bothers me the most is that in the all volunteer Army the standards are being relaxed to the point that they would take somebody like this in the first place. It's obvious that this social misfit figured he could use the military as a means of last resort to find a career. The...

Hope he's not subject to random drug testing

Just read the last line of the signature quote in the post above yours (#53) - tells you all you need to know. You're commenting to someone who simply does not understand the military, but in this day and age that's fairly common. We even have a president that doesn't understand the military...

Spares in the wallet - always

He has the right to a speedy trial in a military courtroom. If found guilty, a more appropriate punishment for this particular individual would be spending the rest of his life at a maximum security prison living with the general population. On another note, it's almost funny to witness the...

From the US Constitution, Article III, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt...

I wonder if he thinks the CEOs of his movie companies make too much money?

I believe the policy as it now stands, is that someone who contracts HIV while enlisted is placed on non-hazardous duty and of course is allowed taxpayer-funded medical treatment. Fortunately, anyone that's HIV positive is disqualified from enlisting in the military; unfortunately, those that...

Without wandering too far into the historical tall grass, here's just a few thoughts regarding this so-called blueprint for provoking Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor: First of all, we have to accept the premise that FDR and his confidants were willing to accept a memo from a mid-level naval...

If you're going to make these kinds of assertions, then you really need to provide some source material for those in the unwashed masses who might think otherwise.

Small world - I have one of those that was passed down from my grandfather. He hunted deer with it using open sights and we enjoyed venison every year that he and his pals headed out to Sugar Grove, VA. Probably just my sentimentality, but I still think it's the best rifle I've ever used...
