Enact polic-eh's with no regard for its economic impact. And then deflect blame.

His poll numbers are slipping, and I have a sense that many in the country are seeing the light. Now if we can just find a 9.12'er to take his place....

Not the fact that sex is in every commercial, tv show, movie, magazine, dog show. Not the fact that non-profits are pushing kids to have premarital sex, and abort any fetuses that may be produced by it. Nope, it's not a parental responsibility to bring up your children as best you can to avoid such results. Yes, kids are going to do what kids are going to do, but not everything can be solved by governmental programs.

Staying focused, fueling the movement with passionate discourse and sound ideas, keeping the heat on our elected officials, uniting with other like-minded people in your area. As Benjamin Franklin said, we must all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately.

The diagram that Glenn drew last night around the bloated form of Barney Fwank was very descriptive of the problems we face with these bailouts-looks to be a lot of laundering and subterfuge. It's all sides. Bush, McCain, Dodd, Obama.... Someone pulling the strings, indeed. Reminds me of the old Megadeth song, "Symphony of Destruction" Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the symphony...

I suppose if we just sit down with the hijacker, we could coax him out of hijacking the plane.

But the media will of course play interference and keep us occupied with Jay Leno and the Obama "hipness" factor stories, so we will continue to blame the evil capitalists.

As if no one will notice. I believe pilots should be able to arm themselves in the event of a hijacking attempt if the cockpit is secured. Wouldn't want Joe Hijacker to just be able to open the cockpit doors and take a weapon. But with the safety of scores of passengers at stake, there must be a way to subdue or incapacitate those who would cause harm at high altitude. Especially if the administration decides to decrease the number of air marshalls on flights.

While I am not in favor of 'pleasure junkets' to 5-star resorts, if stipulations weren't made, why does BHO think he can dictate how the money is spent? Why, because it stirs up the populace into a frenzy, which leaves them ripe for his "Rules for Radicals" tactics. I don't know that a government official discussing business people committing suicide is going to help us get back to principles. The Senator should know better. Yes, he was supposedly alluding to Japanese practice, but it took a spokesperson to clarify. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Double-digit sales tax? No wonder they're not bringing in enough to cover their budgets! And I'll bet entitlement budget cuts weren't even considered. Not in Crook County.

Other than the government having that much more control and data on individuals. Which agency gets the fee for the 'processing cost'? And to state "fraud" as their reasoning? C'mon. We can't enforce ID laws when we vote for our representatives or President, which directly or indirectly affects EVERYONE, but we can for buying a home?

On the other, he wants those who fought to keep this country safe to use private insurance? Does not compute. Nothing more than a play to his far left kook base. This man sickens me. These men and women are HEROES, and he is dishonoring them. Commander-in-Chief indeed....

Nothing new there. Other foreign powers want to know what and with whom they are dealing. The question is, how will Barry respond. I am positive there will be talks, probably without preconditions. God Save the United States.

How much of our money is tucked away, ready to be used to bring out the ACORNs and the goon squads to 'get out the vote'? I suspect the worst and hope for the best, but the man has not yet shown me he can be trusted.

Just another part of his Agenda to force dependency on us and control more of our lives. Doesn't matter if it's been tried before - a good deal of his followers are ignorant of history. I fear for my children, too. My firstborn is still 5 months away from coming into the world, and already, I feel as if I've let him/her down. We have a long road ahead.

The cult-like zombie following. The Messiah complex, etc. This past election season seemed like a very long reality show/popularity contest.

Even moreso, much of the 'opinions' were based on DATA, not scare tactics. Good to see more and more scientists/studies refute the "America is evil" mantra. It is our duty to be good stewards of our country and our planet, but when drastic changes are MANDATED by oppressive regulation, liberty is threatened. Also, to indoctrinate those who would not normally study the issue on their own volition while proclaiming 'the debate is over' borders on criminal.

Tax those who are receiving private benefits by CHOICE (at some of their own expense) and use the money to fund health care for those who either choose NOT to obtain healthcare or choose to have someone else pay for it. Brilliant idea, Komrades. A Down Payment on Universal Healthcare, indeed. That coupled with this Comparative Analysis junk....
