Moving those pensions into private accounts and terminating the ridiculous perks will move us a long way to recovering. The government needs to model its operation after a small business.

Watch any of the cops shows and its the first thing officers draw at ANY sign of resistance. The assumption is that the use of the tazer is non-lethal and probably would have been if these officers had used disciplined methods of subduing a combative individual.

He turned down employment simply because it didn't fit his perfect mold of what he thought his next job should be. He was pissed when he discovered I was against the unemployment benefits extensions. He said I was taking food off his table but I pointed out he was doing that by not taking a job.

Sure regulations and the like have an overall effect but the fact that China can use substandard practices and slave labor isn't exactly a winning scenario. In today's age I don't see where in the market one could exceed another in producing quality items that would exceed that of their competitor. Especially in China's case...

Unless you're a lefty, then this was all made up and the "real truth" is that the corporate giants used their money to promote "Class warfare" I actually think Gov.

What rock did this guy crawl out from? The many others interviewed in this vid should also concentrate on their repugnance as a human. "If I got pregnant today I would abort it tomorrow and I wouldn't feel bad" - How about exercising real time responsibility rather than making "if - then" scenarios to justify one's stance. Not one person pushing the pro-choice stance in this video delivers any substantive argument to solidify their position.

Defund everything and find only the essentials to keep our country running. No more money to special interest at all! There is too much fraud in all these programs that if they started from the ground up we'd probably find out that we were sitting on a surplus.

Woah! Woah! You can't say Terrorist! Obammy won't allow that. We must practice tolerance and love for everyone - except - let the Unions run rampant and unchecked. I know, not a part of the article here but isn't that what the left does anyway. Redirect if it shows us in a bad light. If all else fails call them racist Nazis. Reality. Radical Islam is not going to hug you nor redirect. Let's paint the picture as it is and not hide behind the veil of liberal flowers and candy.

Problem is, I'm not concerned or interested in what O'Keefe does to obtain his enlightening information but rather the content that he releases. I'm much happier watching organizations like Planned Parenthood, ACORN, PBS and NPR go up in flames. None of these liberal gears should be oiled by taxpayer dollars. If they can't stand on their own then they should exist.
