Latrivia "Bob, I have no problem with this, and many other military leaders don't either. Why should an option be taken off the table when you have someone who wants to kill Americans can be stopped? " Well that's incredibly...neo-conservative of you. If...

Latrivia I never did look into the background of Al Awlaki's sons, so I don't know what excuse they used to justify their deaths. I do, however, know the reasons why Awlaki himself was targeted (despite what Feinstein says). I still don't agree with it, because he was...

Latrivia I know what a recess is, and I understand why his move was ruled against. My comment is only meant to correct the poster's misunderstanding of the law.

What is this country coming to!? This vicious little girl brought a paper assault weapon to school. Thankfully, as she tried to stash this deadly weapon in the trash can, an observant student spotted the firearm and alerted the...

Latrivia Admittedly though, those small folded guns aren't quite easy to detect, which is what makes them so dangerous. They're so obscurely shaped that you can't even tell what it is unless the owner tells you. Sneaky. Now the ones you REALLY have to watch out...

Latrivia The President is legally allowed to appoint ambassadors, consuls, judges, and officers of the United States. He's only allowed to do it, however, with the consent of the senate. For reference: U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2

Normally liberals have a pretty high threshold for what is acceptable artistic expression, but this artist has some of them screaming foul! What say you? Is this one over the top?...

Latrivia "I agree negative reactions are to be expected when people politically disagree, but death threats against his children?! What's the USA coming to?" That's a pretty standard negative reaction, actually. It's amazing what people will threaten to do when...

I realize many Ron Paul supporters truly believe he can do no wrong and that he has more integrity than the average politician. Therefore, I'm very curious as to how you'll feel about this interview in which he admitted that he...

Latrivia Actually, depending on how old someone and their children are he may well be planning to keep it from them...just saying.. No one who hasn't opted out would have anything to worry about when as far as whether or not they'll receive reimbursements...

A very illogical and poor argument. Universe is the universe. It is nothing more, nothing less. We do not even know where it begins and where it ends and people jump to the conclusion that some actually created it. Then we ask...

Latrivia I haven't claimed that it did, so I don't see why I'd have to prove it.

I would like to know, how has Mitt Romney gotten so far in the presidential race? A guy who believes in magic underwear, might become your president. How did it come to this, i can not understand.

Latrivia Oh...you mean his Temple garments? He may believe they can actually offer spiritual protection, and he made not. It's no different than having a "lucky" article, like a rabbits foot or ball cap. Why would someone vote for another person who believes...

I was reading a blog post a few minutes ago on Psychology Today, and the author states, "The entire country [America] ignores the civil and political rights of atheists" and that in America, "freedom of religion does not yet...

While watching CNBC tonight I heard Eric Cantor attack the President Obama's use of Air Force One to make campaign stops. Of course Mr. Cantor didn't mention that presidents since Ronald Reagan have used Air Force One, and the...
