    20 states have filed petitions to secede

    Keep chuckling, Northern Dude. This is the same condescension which led to one tragic split. Two predictions: (1) secession will never be placed on a ballot. (2) The United States will not always remain as currently configured.

    20 states have filed petitions to secede

    Secession is never going to be allowed by the Federal government. Never. And they dare not put it to a vote. What is more likely is a breakaway movement which doesn't seek permission from our masters in Washington, it justs happens suddenly in a fortuitous moment of national crisis. Much...

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    Until this story broke, I assumed David Petraeus was pretty much a straight arrow. Now, any testimony he might give comes under a cloud of controversy. We can't be sure he will testify truthfully or fully. Nearly every aspect of the Benghazi terrorist attack and the subsequent stonewalling by...

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    The Director of the CIA serves at the pleasure of the President. That's why Petraeus tendered his resignation directly to Obama. Being asked to resign, at that level, is equivalent to a forced resignation. The whole matter has been handled in a crude and ugly manner. I ask again, why doesn't...

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    Why isn't Obama saying he would be delighted to have General Petraeus give full testimony to Congress?

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    Guilt might reside with President Obama if he kept a lid on this story until after the election.

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    How about some transparency from the Obama administration? That would be refreshing. Does it bother any Obama supporters that this resignation was held back until after the election in order to not harm Obama's electoral chances? What did Obama know and when did he know it?

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    If Obama wanted to keep Petraeus on board, he would have done so. Extramarital affairs are typically inconsequential in the Democrat Party. If Obama wished to keep Petraeus, Petraeus could have held a news conference and come clean about his affair, negating the prospect of blackmail...

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    Why didn't Obama force Petraeus to resign before Election Day? Why force a resignation days before Petraeus was due to testify about Benghazi?

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    David Petraeus has resigned his position as Director of the CIA just days before he was scheduled to testify before Congress. Petraeus was to testify concerning his knowledge about the terrorist attack in Benghazi which resulted in our US ambassador and 3 other Americans being killed. At the...

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    Why do Obama voters insist on injecting race into every discussion? Can you see your own racial bigotry in the quote above? What is truly shameful is how the Democrat Party exploits racial minorities through fear-mongering and false accusations. I understand why the Democrats do this. It is...

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    The Obama voters cannot be reached with a reasoned appeal. I no longer try to reason with Democrats. They are too far gone.

    You flatter Libertarians by granting them fringe status. Something less than fringe.

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    Once a breakaway movement starts, it's going to include much more than Texas. Socialism isn't going to stand in many areas. Socialism isn't compatible with a free people.

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    I make the observation that a national split is coming. The political right and left are growing substantially farther apart. What particular issue will force the split is unknown. This nation was born out of a tax revolt and contempt for a ruling power which placed heavy burdens on the...

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    At some point, there is a national divorce coming to split the United States. Let's hope it is an amicable and mutually agreed upon separation. Much as the War of Northern Aggression evolved from social and economic differences, the coming troubles will likewise find their roots nurtured in a...

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    Kentucky has little to nothing in common politically or culturally with most states north of the Ohio River. The Ohio River could serve as the demarcation line between the Two Americas. Suits me.

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    I cannot find any fault with the Constitution given to us by the Founders. The admendment process is there to address change. I would never trust either party to behave responsibly at a Constitutional convention.
