“If a woman is having a late-term abortion and the baby is born alive, that baby becomes a citizen of the United States and is entitled to his full rights under the Constitution, especially the right to life. Doctors and medical staff should give that child full medical attention in an attempt to keep him alive.”

Agree: 99.999%
Disagree: Barack Obama

90% of the electorate wants the government to find some gold-crapping unicorns so we can have no taxes and free everything.

90% believe that people have a duty to vote because the socialists have been pushing this meme. I believe only those with a solid understand of the issues and economics, and our Constitution, government, and history have a duty to vote. The ignorant have a duty not to vote.

The farther from the constitution we move, the less patriotic I feel.

"There has been a larger decline in the percentage of Americans agreeing that they have "old-fashioned values about family and marriage." In the 2009 political values survey, 71% agreed, down from 87% in the first such survey in 1987."

A slippery question designed to get the answer the pollster wanted.

If the question had been phrased as "traditional values", the percentage would have been higher. Guaranteed. No one wants to think of him or herself as "old fashioned". The pollster knows this.

Daylight Savings sucks.

Amen! I used to be a real supporter of DST. I loved coming home after work and still having three to four hours of daylight left. I have moved to Florida now and I hate DST in July August and September when it is hot enough to fry and egg on pavement. Having the sun go down an hour earlier in the evening would be a true blessing. My wish would be for changing the clocks in Spring with the rest of the nation, but returning to Standard time in July.

What can 90% of people agree on?

That everybody that they pass on the freeway is a moron and everybody that passes them is a maniac.

90% of the public said that they were hearing mostly bad news about gas prices

That says a lot about those other 10%.

I vote for moving April to right after July. It would be a relief from the hot summer.

Yeah! My wife and I had forgotten about the time change. It was really irritating to see we had already lost an hour when we awakened. But - in actuality it makes not much difference since we live on a farm and are retired (except when we have those damned medical appointments). We live in a part of Texas where people don’t seem to use clocks anyhow. They seem to work two hours a day - if at all. Last year we had some work done on our house. The contractor said it would take 8 weeks and it ended up taking 8 months (sarc) but he would drive 30 miles and work 2 or 3 hours and be gone. No wonder the rate of unemployment in this county is probably 30%.

If we agree on all this stuff, why is there a need for an Institute of Civility? Strictly sarcasm!

My theory for why we have no DST in Arizona.

Cooler evenings come quicker, and if anyone wants to work in the cooler part of the day, they get up early with plenty of daylight before work...:^)

I like the Arizona system...

You appear to overlook the fact that Florida is considerably more to the West than New York or Boston in the same time zone.
