The Great Obama Romney Debate

When Obama debates Mitt Romney for the presidency of the United States, what will be said, what position will be taken by each man and what stance and mode of attack will each take? What are the predictions? Obama will no doubt seek to use his record including both truth and exaggeration to make the case that the country will be better off reelecting him than it would be going with Romney.

Government Uses Sgt. Bales as Poster Boy to Make War Look Good

Since it’s okay for Rush Limbaugh to resort to name-calling and over the air identify a young woman who testified before Congress in favor of contraceptive coverage as a “slut,” it’s okay for me to use this space to call Limbaugh a “pig.” No wait! I’m not gonna do that, sink to his level. I will use the more dignified word “porker.” The porker... (posted by John Sammon 82 days 9 hours ago.)
Your Rights Removed
1

It’s pathetic. When the government takes your rights under the Constitution away and you didn’t even know you had those rights to begin with----it makes the government’s job of undermining the Constitution easier. Let’s start with the “National Security Letter.” If you’re like most Americans, you say, “What’s that?” The National Security... (posted by John Sammon 86 days 22 hours ago.)
