What kind of “ loving father” uses his drug addled son...his only remaining son...as a shield, to protect himself and his global criminal money laundering and influence peddling operation co-conspirators from investigataion and criminal prosecution?

I'm in a discussion about unemployment, and my "opponent" just declared that U3 Unemployment calculation has been the official measurement of unemployment for every president. Obviously, that's ridiculously wrong. But I was looking for a data point to help me drive that fact home, and I can't seem to find anything specific on when the US government began separating unemployment calculation into six categories, U1-U6, and specifically when the U3/U6 categories were established and first used. Do any of you have any information on this, and can you provide a source link? Thank you.

Okay, we’ve all seen dozens of article and hundreds of comments speculating about the possibility of a coming Armageddon, spawned by an intentional collapse of the US economy. Assuming the worse, should Obama actually be successful in destroying the America of our fathers and “fundamentally changing the nation as we know it,” who would be the most powerful progressives under him who would be structuring and influencing the tyranny, and/or implementing the “marching orders” in a new regime? There are dozens of reasons to ask a question like this. For now, let's call it "curiosity." Some of the names might...

I was just watching Lanny Davis lying his way through an interview about Anthony Weiner, on Fox News. Of couse, Davis took the opportunity to pretend that there was a good comparison between the Weiner story and the story of David Vitter's scandal. The female "talking head" was so ignorant about the Vitter case that she allowed Davis to grossly mischaracterize the Vitter incident. So, I think we should offer these talking heads a little data to help them understand the difference. Because it's obvious that neither the Fox News on-air staff, nor the bone-heads they hire to offer opinion,...

While most normal Americans still reeled in shock in the wake of the Tucson shooting, liberals across the country were out in force blaming conservatives for it. Given how heart-rending the whole tragedy was, their reaction is truly mind-boggling. One can only wonder what kind of human beings would react in this way. To liberals' eternal shame, it turns out that the shooter was anything but a Tea Partyer and that his "conservative" credentials are rather thin indeed. In fact, the information that has emerged since then would appear to place him in the leftist camp, if anywhere in the...

I've got some thoughts on what I'd like to see the new Republican leadership focus on when they take over the House of Representatives next month. But I'd like to see your ideas, too. So, I thought I'd ask you to list your top five suggested agenda items in the hope that someone with a communications line into the new Congressional leadership might read this...

By BRETT ZONGKER, Associated Press Writer Brett Zongker, Associated Press Writer – Sun Oct 17, 12:26 pm ET WASHINGTON – A new ranking of the nation's 400 biggest charities shows donations dropped by 11 percent overall last year as the Great Recession ended — the worst decline in 20 years since the Chronicle of Philanthropy began keeping a tally. The Philanthropy 400 report to be released Monday shows such familiar names as the United Way and the Salvation Army, both based near Washington, continue to dominate the ranking, despite the 2009 declines. The survey accounts for $68.6 billion in charitable...

President Obama amazed fans, today, by not only completing but winning the Professional Bowlers Association, but the Professional Golfers Association Campionships, with a single ball. After watching "The One" vanquish his opponents on the links fans thousands of adoring fans and spectators packed Taylor Lanes to see the POTIS roll a series of perfect games, with a golf ball. When asked how such an incredible accomplishment was possible, President Obama said, "Well, I've been playing with one ball since I was a young man. When one ball's all you've got you learn to make the most of it."

Senator Chambliss has an online poll asking: "Of the following issues, which do you think is most urgent in Georgia?" Here are the list of choices: Crime/Methamphetamine Illegal Immigration Education Health Care Economic Development Illegal Immigration is currently at 70%. Perhaps we can give that a bit of a bump and help put a bit of pressure on Senator Chambliss (who calls those of us who are against amnesty "ignorant") http://chambliss.senate.gov/public/index.cfm

Feeding the Mouth That Bites You By Doug Patton May 7, 2007 The Republican Party never learns. Time and again, apparently on the theory that real conservatives just can’t win against liberal Democrats, party bosses seem compelled to support wishy-washy, moderate-to-liberal Republicans over solid conservatives in primary elections across the country. In 2004, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (RINO-PA) was justifiably fighting for his political life. After years of betraying the principles of the Republican Party, which had kept him in power for decades, Specter was being challenged in Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary by a conservative congressman named Pat Toomey. Toomey...

Tuition Bill Proves Nebraska Unicameral is Dysfunctional By Doug Patton April 17, 2006 In 1937, the state of Nebraska initiated a legislative experiment. Convinced of the idealistic notion that voters would act as the “second house” of the Nebraska Legislature through the ballot initiative process, the state amended its constitution to institute a nonpartisan, one house legislature. Seven decades later, there are very sound reasons why no other state in the union has followed Nebraska’s lead. The Nebraska Unicameral in the 21st century is a dysfunctional mess. It is a single legislative chamber consisting of 49 state senators. No house...

I was just listening to Neal Boortz. He said that American teachers unions pose a greater long term threat to the survival of the United States than does Islamic terrorism. I couldn't agree more.

Rush Limbaugh read an editorial, yesterday. It was a piece which described the Colts game on Monday night, as it would be described if it were an American journalist writing about the "War On Terrorism." Does anyone have a copy of that editorial, or a URL? Thanks... ATB

Breaking story coming. I was just listening to the news on KFAB radio (Omaha, NE) and heard of a story about a boy who was bitten by a pit bull. The boy is facing the prospect of rabies shots because the owners of the pit bull are refusing to cooperate with authorities to have the dog checked by a vet. According to the story that was read, the owners have hidden the dog from authorities. I cannot find the written story, yet, but will post when I find it.

What Chuck Hagel Has Become By Doug Patton August 29, 2005 U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel served nobly and honorably in Vietnam. He still carries shrapnel from the wounds he suffered there. While serving in Vietnam, Hagel and his comrades in arms were continually undermined by thoughtless, narcissistic politicians who spoke without considering the propaganda value their words would give to the enemies of America. Now Hagel has become one of those politicians. A young political wonder boy who climbed his way to the top both politically and financially, Chuck Hagel was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996 and handily...
