Just to be pedantic and obnoxious, I offer the following from Wikipedia. :D They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. This was written by Franklin, with quotation marks but almost certainly his original thought, sometime...

What if you are plotting a terrorist bombing. You've talked to people about it, told them you'd like to. But haven't actually carried it out yet? Are you a terrorist? You can certainly be arrested, tried and convicted as being one. You are, for all intents and purposes, a terrorist. You don't...

I got an extremely good deal on my Sprinter. It was a year old, but only had 4100 miles on it, and still had the plastic on the steering wheel, the airbag warnings for children, and the new Sprinter smell. I paid $28,000 for it, put $20,000 down, and had a 24 month note which I paid off in a...

An unattended vehicle with the keys in the ignition, whether it's running or not, is against the law in many places, if not most places. In Kentucky it's a state law, and applies to anywhere the vehicle is left unattended, be it in the Walmart parking lot or your driveway. "No person operating...

As for the charges against Manning, this is the Charge Sheet. It can, of course, be amended at any time. He is currently charged with 4 specifications of Article 92 and 8 specifications of Article 134 of the UCMJ. It's pretty easy to find, even without looking. The story originated with the UK's...

As RLENT stated, there's really nothing else to find, other than the video itself. There's no "more to the story" that anyone is willing to even hint at, much less explain. You can bet if there were any extenuating or mitigating circumstances at all, even a, "Whoops, we thought they were someone...

Doh, Safari. Sorry about that. Didn't realize you'd gone to the White Side. :D "Are you saying that even if I went to the same site through the same process (google searching for stocks), that the same thing wouldn't necessarily happen? And that it's related to somewhere else THIS computer...

Not much to say regarding the opinion of a former congressman. All former congressmen have opinions, most of them about as good as the ones they had before they were former congressmen.

Yeah, it was just badly phrased. I wrote "liberal blogs," then thought I should probably state where it came from, and did so without realizing that a direct connection was made between the two. Too much Sheldon Cooper. Newp. Simply watched too much Sheldon Cooper last night. If I had to guess...

While I'm often sarcastic, I was not being sarcastic here. Merely honest. I read through your original post and didn't immediately answer, because I couldn't discern the crux of your question. Others did, so now I know what your question was. I admit I only read your original post the one time...

While leaving a vehicle running and having it stolen happens a lot, I also know one person who dropped her keys as she was getting out of her car and then ended up well under the car. She figured she'd run in real quick, and then get all dirty climbing under the car to retrieve her keys...

It's not really Firefox or Safari, it's a javascript you picked up somewhere. You can turn off javascript (and not be able to view a snotload of sites) in the near term, as well as delete the cache and cookies, and all downloaded *.js files, but you should download something like MS Security...

Sorry that I inadvertently made a bad connection to Rockwell and liberal blogs. I know Rockwell isn't a liberal, but mentioned him by name since his blog is the singularity from which the twisted facts emanate, and have since then been restated on countless liberal blogs.

Well, the OP contained about twelve questions, so it's hard to figure out which one you want answered. But, since this apparently boils it down: "... but my question is.. how can we be sure that will never happen again if our soldiers must follow orders without any real opportunity to decline...

I've said it a number of times. Those who like to have the tax deduction disagree, but IMHO the amount by which the deduction reduces your taxes doesn't quite offset the amount you have to pay out in order to get that deduction. Put as much down on your truck or van as possible, and pay it off...

Because of a rash of this kind of thing in and around Oklahoma, two or three years ago, QuickTrip (QT) markets started putting signs up in their stores cautioning people not to leave their cars running while they came inside. The signs were conspicuously posted at the check-out counter. I...

Yes, although the new, fashionable liberal term for it is "torture," the actual name for it is Prevention of Injury Watch (POI), or more commonly, suicide watch. They don't want him being injured, by himself or anyone else. As for what gets published in many places, largely the same stuff over...

The phrase "civil rights" is a translation of Latin ius civis (rights of citizens). The Bill of Rights (free speech, free thought) are civil rights. The Civil Rights acts of 1964 and 1968 dealt mainly with racial and sexual discrimination, but religious and creed discrimination is in there, too...

Yes We Can, and no, maybe not. I don't want to rain on the pink parade, but... "Who's gonna save the next generation of breast cancer survivors?" It certainly won't be the prostate cancer survivors. Millions of cars’ bumpers sport pink ribbon decals, symbolizing breast cancer awareness...

He's a guy who dumped Gwyneth Paltrow for Jennifer Lopez, and then dumped Jennifer Lopez and married Jennifer Garner. Despite the fact that he's a liberal, you gotta give him props for that. :D He's right about CEO pay, tho. It used to be about 10 times the average worker, now it's out of...
