    One-month-old baby ‘raped and battered’

    No one can make sense from an irrational act. Talk it to death and it's still an irrational act, if true. Granted, the topic on an emotional level is radioactive red meat. Perfect for pot-stirring. Harming a child is not a rational act. Irrational acts do not have rational answers...

    To evoke outrage from those whose emotions are on a hair-trigger.

    One-month-old baby ‘raped and battered’

    Come on, now. Cooking "batter" ... get it? It's a joke. Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

    is it a christmas tree or a holiday tree??

    Are we to understand that Christians stole Christmas and Easter? This has to be the most under-reported event to date.

    The Cain Mutiny

    Layout... are you prepared to say ALL politicians are idiots? Has even one impressed you? To imply all politicians are idiots is a broad indictment against democracy itself as the people who actually bother to vote are ultimately responsible.

    Squeal like a pig!

    Hollywood is mourning the passing of Bill McKinney, the Deliverance mountain man character who immortalized the phrase, "Squeal like a pig," in his amorous pursuit of Ned Beatty. Many of us Appalachians remain convinced this movie did more harm to the virtuous image of mountain folk than all...

    Horse slaughterhouses may be coming back

    It's not part of American culture to eat horse meat, except for cases like the Donner Party. I heard some mention on the radio recently about legislation condoning the slaughter of horses for human consumption. I always felt horses should enjoy the same protection as cats and dogs in the...

    Ron Paul goes after the Lizard

    Greg...you're really hopeless. Obama had solid Democrat majorities for the first two years after taking office. Otherwise, government takeover through socialized medicine would never have come to pass. Obama used every last bit of goodwill he might have accrued to push his signature...

    Ron Paul goes after the Lizard

    Greg... you underestimate our level of disgust with Obama. We have never had a President who proved to be so divisive and so indifferent to the will of the people. Look at how Obama forced the socialized healthcare down our throats. At his direction, several wavering Senators were brazenly...

    The Obama Record Continues

    Newt reminds me of Richard Nixon. Oversized brain. Mean, nasty, tough. Imperfect, but imminently competent. Definitely right-of-center. Carries more personal baggage than a Barney Frank concubine. Some conservatives are giddy for Newt. We haven't had a real meanie in the White House since...

    Occupy wall street vindicated the Tea Party

    I have a suspicion that many of the OWS crowd are coddled children(now coddled young adults) who have come to the realization that life is hard. They will have to work hard, struggle and compete just like everyone else. Many are shocked and angered to learn their sense of entitlement was a...

    Occupy wall street vindicated the Tea Party

    I admit I do not understand the Occupy Wall Street movement. Is anyone suggesting the Occupiers should be taken seriously? Let's get to the crux of the matter. What do they want? What do they really, really want?

    Are you Democrat, Republican or Southener

    Proven is an adjective only. "Proven to be" is corrupted mumbo jumbo. "Proved to be" would be correct usage. Example: Dale's mastery of the English language proved to be valuable. Example: Dale's proven mastery of the English language was valuable. More to the point, "proven"...

    Are you Democrat, Republican or Southener

    Hope to dodge a bullet on this one... would the "smartest and best informed" use the adjective PROVEN as a verb? Is a gun fetish the prerequisite for inclusion in this manly brotherhood of bravado? Which is the greater force for good, the correct use of language or guns? Is there an inverse...

    History too kind to Puritans brutal intolerance

    A deliberately provocative hit piece purposefully timed to take a public whiz on Thanksgiving. What an awful life Eric Sharp must live as all hatred is rooted in self-loathing.

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    Greg... we as a nation had better learn to make peace with the immigration troubles in this country. There are perhaps 10 million people in the United States, right now, who entered illegally. They aren't leaving and we are not going to round them up. They are human beings. It is in our long...

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    Newt's latest approach to the immigration problem seems reasonable. Reality dictates a pathway to legal status must be found for those individuals and families who have been living in the USA for 20 or 30 years, regardless of where they came from or how they got here. By and large, at least...
