The question had to be asked. Last count, they still control the Senate and Presidency. Using *gasp* basic math, that means they still control the Executive branch and 1/2 of the Legislative. Again, according to basic math, this...

North Korea is having a rough year. (who isnt?) Senator John Kerry wants the US to send 430,000 metric tons of food to aid them. We cut off this aid in 2009 because North Korea ordered the US out.
It has been proven that North...

I keep hearing that we need to pay public school teachers well if we expect to be able to attract and keep good teachers. The unions protesting right now in Wisconsin warn that to withhold collective bargaining rights from...

mattic All children, rich and poor alike, suffer from an absence of competition fostered by government school monopolism. They also suffer from the idiotic principle of "mandatory" education. Education is, and should be, the responsibility of the parents. The current...

mattic When a woman has been sexually assaulted, should she be prohibited from saying, "I was raped." until a judge has passed sentence? That may seem extreme, but it just points to the absurdity of the "don't offend anyone" PC crap that is going on. If I see someone...

Isn't that part of the problem? We have become so dependent on the government that we can't imagine doing anything but turning to them for help when things go bad.

mattic My wife and I were just discussing this today. I lost my job two weeks ago. On the very day I lost my job, I got a call for another contracted position paying 3 times what I was making. Before all the lefties start there "how lucky" b.s., I have kept my resume...

What do you think of Obama's compromise. He is willing to extend all tax cuts for two years (except estate tax) in exchange for extending unemployment for the millions losing benefits this month. How do you view this compromise?...

mattic The danger of extending unemployment benefits to pay Americans not to work is the real deal breaker. The refusal to include the death tax also speaks to the "anti-wealth" nature of Obama's plan. The Repubs will be playing into his hands if they accept this....

A lot of posters here frown on Sharia Law.
I will be honest and say I don't understand it. I don't get why a woman would have her nose cut off, or a woman who is raped would then be killed for shaming her family. Or the use of...
