    Iraq: Then and Now

    Hundreds of millions of dollars in arrears? Good, that's a step in the right direction. How do our contributions already in the bank compare to those of the rest of the world? It's about time we pulled the plug on this kind of waste, considering our current economic situation.

    Iraq: Then and Now

    All true, which makes me blame HW for even more bad judgement. Considering the US is a soverign nation, he could have easily ignored the UN and procedded into Bagdad and cleaned house. The UN is nothing without US money, and he could have reminded them of that in continuing to defend an ally in...

    Dick Armey on John Stewart

    If academic elites such as those three are saying that, then it must be true.

    Iraq: Then and Now

    Considering our "combat troops" have all withdrawn from Iraq, here's an excellent article by Fouad Ajami that reviews the circumstances over there and reminds us why we're there in the first place. Fouad Ajami: The Guns of August, 1990, and How Iraq and the World Would Be Different If American...

    Vacation #-6 for this year!

    I agree with Freightdawg - POTUS is never really on vacation, especially when so many of the staff accompany him. But I also agree that FLOTUS and the offspring don't need to take separate expensive transportation. But these people don't mind spending the taxpayers' money - they feel they're...

    Last U.S. combat convoy has left Iraq

    Remember this plan was put in place by the Bush administration. However, I'm afraid that our soldiers will be back over there before long. The Iranians will step up their efforts to destabilize the Iraqi govt. as soon as they see an opening. If Obama allows them to get to nuclear weapons...

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    One might look at the deficits for starters, as the first indicator of "change". But for the most part, the "change" hasn't taken place yet. Wait until ObamaCare takes effect; wait until his economic policies take effect, especially if he somehow is able to pass Cap & Tax and is able to...

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    In Islamic-leaning secular might be an appropriate description of Obama. There's a significant school of thought that Obama will never be accepted or respected by muslim nations or devout muslims because he's regarded as a heretic by true muslims. Franklin Graham is right - Obama is considered...

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    During the campaign when Obama told everyone that his family didn't exchange Christmas presents, there were probably more than a few people who mentally raised their eyebrows in question of the sincerety of his Christianity. Apparently he doesn't observe a strict doctrine of any particular...

    Pelosi calls for investigation .

    I hope the GOP is making ads with this kind of stuff - Pelosi as Speaker of the House by itself should be motiviation for people to get out this Nov and vote against incumbent Democrat congressmen. Remember her comment about the Tea Partiers being Nazis? She's probably having them investigated too.

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    Ah jeez I know I should just let this rest, but there's just a couple of clarifications that I just can't contain. I'm not going to parse this entire novella with counterpoints, but there's a couple of things I'd like to bring back into focus: The nit-picking of posts to the point of sentence...

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    There's something about this thread that I, for one, find really bothersome. The fact that Poorboy wants to get rid of Obama because his administration (like previous ones) is "spending tax payers money on refurbishing mosques over seas" in NO WAY justifies a judgemental attack declaring him...

    It's actually in NE Alabama, near Piedmont. The locals make great Sand Mtn molasses also - sell it at the Piggly Wiggly. You might also try the Edwina Holiness church in Newport, Tn the next time you're going through the eastern part of the state on I-40. Only in warm weather season, however...

    You bet there would. If there were a radical sect of Methodists responsible for those kinds of atrocities the outrage would probably be even greater. In this country, Christians do a pretty good job of policing other Christians. Yes again. The rights of the hypothetical radical Methodists end...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    Really? No political element involved in the muslim religion, considering they view their government as being controlled by it? The number of radical muslims involved in this worldwide jihad isn't a small group. Maybe a small percentage of muslims as a whole, but they're not a small group by any...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    Yep - they have the same rights as everyone else. Of course there are other Christians that look at homosexuality as an abomination, but that doesn't mean they believe homosexuals should be killed. But that's another subject for a different thread. "Death of 100s of 1000s who are still...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    You're comparing apples and oranges. Those religions didn't cloak a political movement dedicated to our subjugation. The Jews and Blacks weren't commiting terrorist attacks against us were they? Some seemingly want to have it both ways - but considering this attack was an act of war, it was...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    The problem for New Yorkers is that the passage of time hasn't healed their wounds; the war with radical islam continues, and NYC is still their primary target. How many of us have already forgotten that only three months ago one of these jihadists tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    Actually, there have been several valid reasons stated for the mosque to be build elsewhere - the most important of which is the majority of the people of NYC don't want it there. This isn't the first time a population of a city or town has protested building something they don't want in a...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    I may be wrong, but the minute said Fatwah is issued against Gutfeld the muslims will have violated all kinds of constitutional rights and jeopardized their right to build anything there. For that matter, if they openly discriminated against homosexuals that wanted to go to the mosque or...
