What will be the major social and economic legislation sought by the Obama administration this year? Comprehensive immigration reform? More rigid gun control initiatives? Greenlight to Mexican trucking? Normalization of relations with Cuba? Re-introduce the Fairness Doctrine for radio/TV...

Context matters. For those unfamiliar with the British newspapers such as The Guardian and The Telegraph, it is important to understand they each have an ultra leftwing ideological bent. Both give a full embrace to socialism as practiced in Europe. Both routinely project what many here...

Aren't The Telegraph and The Guardian ultra leftwing newspapers with a long history of bashing American conservatism?

Farce indeed. This event was scripted by Democrats, for Democrats. As soon as the Mexican/Indian/Native American began his spiel (invoking hoots, hollering and applause) I switched to The Weather Channel. This should have been a non-political event but Obama and Co. were intent on milking...

I agree. WWII ended more than 65 years ago. Time to move on.

Let's hope all people of goodwill reject the political exploitation that took place in Tucson last night. All self-respecting Democrats should call for Barack Obama's resignation immediately. The man is a national embarrassment! Who is he to lecture anyone about harsh political rhetoric...

Take a look at the shooter's Uncle Fester mugshot. Smirking just after he shot several innocent people. Pure evil. The authorities missed opportunities to bring a serious intervention into Jared Loughner's life. This young man's behavior PRIOR to the shooting was screaming for psychiatric help.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, President Obama dons his maudlin mask one more time as he descends on Tucson delivering Left-wing vitriol interspersed with appeals for civility. Don't be fooled. This will be a Democratic pep rally reminiscent of Senator Paul Wellstone's funeral. What a spectacle that was!

Sorry, Jack. Can you tell us who her opponent would be and what office they seek?

I would contend the opposite is true. Until cable television and the internet came along, only a handful of voices at NBC, CBS, and ABC actually had a live national audience. Plus a few national radio broadcasters. During that era, the Big 3 networks and a few national newspapers held a nearly...

The rhetoric used in today's political climate is no worse than it was 50 years ago, 100 years ago or 200 years ago. Any student of political history knows this. What is true is current rhetoric is much more greatly dispersed, thanks to a 24/7 news cycle and a media cottage industry devoted to...

We need basic American civics to be an integral part of every US middle school curriculum. Then repeat it for high school. Misconceptions abound.

My mistake. I should have said the attempted murder of a US Congresswoman. She has survived the attempt so far. BTW, Congresswoman Giffords is paid her salary from the US Treasury. She is literally, and figuratively, one embodiment of the United States government.

The Arizona shooter, Jared Loughner, ranted wildly about government. His ramblings show he had real disdain for governmental authority and refused to acknowledge its dominion. Should young Mr. Loughner have been given more or less freedom? He managed to purchase a handgun legally and execute...

Yet, in reality we all are subject to government. What would become of man in the absence of government?

Born a free man? What does that really mean?

Layout... without a government-issued birth certificate you aren't officially alive. Without a government-issued death certificate you aren't officially dead. The government owns your hiney from beginning to end. SUBMIT! *L*

In an esoteric abstract, ultimate power resides with the people. Believe this: legal authority resides with the government. Try flaunting governmental authority and let me know how it goes.

Well, yes... it should be that way. It's called federalism. We have a federation of 50 states which by covenant are subservient to the central governing authority (the Federal or national government). Both the state of Arizona and the federal government will proceed to build their respective...

Federal law takes primacy over state law; likewise, in a criminal event such as this mass shooting, both federal and state crimes are alleged. When both state charges and federal charges stem from the same event, federal jurisdiction gets first dibs unless the feds, at their discretion, allow...
