One question: Where will we find the submission form when we are ready to write a "Letter to the editor?"

Posted on 05/15/13 at 02:40 pm in response to Obama’s three scandals: a closer look

The majority of IRS employees are probably Democrats. They did what they did because they believed they were helping the Obama administration and the Democratic party. Obama didn't need to direct them to do anything. They chose to act the way they did by themselves.
What puzzles me the most about the Benghazi incident is, if Obama gave an order to help the victims of the attack, someone, somewhere disobeyed an order from the Commander in Chief. Who was it? Why hasn't this person been...

Posted on 05/14/13 at 01:58 pm in response to Same-sex marriage: And today it'll be law

The next issue will be polygamy. After all, the arguments for gay marriage and polygamy are exactly the same: It's all about love....In addition, polygamy is much cheaper than divorce. You don't have to worry about messy stuff like alimony and dividing up property. Just marry a second or third spouse, if you don't like the first.

Posted on 05/07/13 at 03:14 pm in response to Norquist, Klobuchar find common ground on immigration reform

The fact that both Norquist and Klobuchar are in favor of the Gang of Eight's immigration plan does not make it a good deal. It will ruin employment opportunities for low-skill workers, and our welfare costs will skyrocket if the plan becomes law. And forget legislation that is advertised as "comprehensive." That means the details will be hidden in a lot of words.
The first thing that should be done is end chain immigration, where family members get to immigrate here no matter how...

Posted on 05/02/13 at 03:22 pm in response to Kathleen Hall Jamieson and the 'attack on fact'

Peder Defor is correct about the roots of mistrust. I also would have supported preventing mentally ill people and felons from getting guns, I would have been included in the 90 percent, but the proposed legislation was different than what I intended. And yet, this article made it sound as if 90 percent of Americans, a supposedly factual percentage, wanted the proposed background check legislation. The news media is not always doing a good job of distinguishing facts from partisan cant.

Posted on 05/01/13 at 02:09 pm in response to How a heavy police presence in high-crime neighborhoods hurts democracy

There is more black-on-black crime than there is black-on-white crime. This means in a high crime area there will be more black victims than white victims. If I were a black female with small children living in a high crime area I would feel much safer with heavy police presence, because it would lower the chances for me and my children becoming victims. Law enforcement decisions shouldn't be made on the basis of percentages of blacks or whites incarcerated, but on who is most vulnerable.

Posted on 04/30/13 at 02:09 pm in response to The importance of Keith Ellison, a patriotic American who's also a Muslim

Rep. Keith Ellison, along with Rep. Barbara Lee of California, submitted H.Con. Res. 36 on April 26 that climate change will cause women to become prostitutes. Thank you, Rep. Ellison! I would never have thought of it.

Posted on 04/22/13 at 03:33 pm in response to Boston bombings: Understanding Tsarnaev brothers and their intended audience

If the Boston Marathon Bombers wanted to impress their buddies in the Caucasus area with their toughness, they would have attacked Russians in Russia where their sucess would have been more obvious to their target audience. They also wouldn't have chosen such a soft target, racers wearing only shorts, t-shirts and sneakers, and watched by families with little kids.
The bombers were Islamic extremists who attacked the marathon because they believed Americans are infidels. They didn't...

Posted on 04/09/13 at 02:00 pm in response to Taxes on sports memorabilia, suites and seat licenses back in stadium mix

I hope the compilers of the locavore index took into account the different sizes of the states. Vermont is tiny and Texas is huge, so of course, the mileage from source to market is going to be affected.

Posted on 04/05/13 at 01:37 pm in response to Outside groups doing more and more of GOP's work

I've always suspected the original plan for the alternative teacher licensing program was to get minorities who weren't qualified to teach on school district payrolls. When the concept shifted to include training, and licensing for teachers from other states or professionals who wanted to switch careers, the original advocates of the program lost interest.
