Should the government ban high-capacity ammunition magazines?

<p>I’ve seen some lists around the internet, but few gave reasons. I took several of these lists and included only those companies from which I could find justification. Drop me a note (with a source) regarding update recommendations, please. List last updated: 12/29/12.</p>

.@elizabethforma What do you think was the most difficult part about growing up as a Woman of Color in Oklahoma? — The Student (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 08, 2012 The lapdog media have let Elizabeth “Running Joke” Warren skate on questions about her Cherokee heritage. Luckily we have intrepid blogger Ace of Spades to do the job the lapdoggies won’t. Ace Pow Wow Chowed down on Harvard Law’s first plagiarist woman of color and her claims of authentic Native American ancestry. Fauxcahontas, meet tomahawk: .@elizabethforma Do you believe the country is ready to accept a White Woman of Color for President?— The...

A tea party organizer says he has found the smoking gun that links the Democratic Party to the controversial "Tea Party" that is running candidates and seeking official ballot status in Michigan. A "Jason Bauer" is listed on recent federal election documents and state campaign donation documents as the "political director" of the Oakland County Democratic Party. A "Jason H. Bauer" signed the affidavits as the notary on nine of the mysterious Tea Party Political candidates' paperwork turned in to the state of Michigan. A "Jason H. Bauer" has registered twice to run for office in Oakland County, once as...

These companies/people give a lot of money to todays' statist politicians. A little thing: watching where money goes, by a lot of people, can make a big difference. There are a few lists on the internet. Below, I took the lists and consolidated. I kept the lists of Entertainers short and just included the worst-of-the-worst. Near the end, I identify Conservative alternates. One twist I added was to include the most liberal and most conservative MLB, NFL, NBA & NHL sport team owners. If you have some corrections, let me know. I'd like to keep a 'master list' updated. COMPANIES...

How would you rate Barack Obama? Excellent! A+++ Would elect again! Pretty good. But I think he could be doing more Meh... I could go either way on this one. Pretty bad. Things are bad and he makes me FEEL bad! Fail!!! I give him an F minus and I hope he gets impeached.

If you're like me you eat at fast-food restaurants way too often. I do because I travel a fair amount for work. If you're like me, you tend to eat alone and are usually looking for something to read while you eat. I think there are a good number of people that do this. That's why I took Mike Adams' popular assessment on the first 500 pages of the Health Care Bill and put it on a Word Document. I print several of these out and drop them around the fast-food restaurants as I visit. It's 2 pages. I print...

As we enter Day Whatever It Is of the Destroy Carrie Prejean Campaign, let me explain something about Christians – not the ones you hear about in Salon or on MSNBC, but real-life Christians. First, it will shock you to know that Christians are strongly in favor of sex. I personally am in favor of as much of it as possible, especially for me. (Hang on, I’ll be right back. I bet my wife would like it if I did the dishes.) If this seems like a silly thing to point out, I point it out nonetheless because there is...

Sorry if this vanity is not appropriate. I am passionate about this election. I know we should be doing a lot more than just this...but, Does planting a McCain-Palin Yard Sign and applying a McCain-Palin Bumper Sticker help the cause at all? What's your experience? Has there been any studies on this?

McCain's speech was about change but entirely devoid of what he wanted to change. It is clear he has seen the dozens of polls showing that 80% of the population thinks the country is on the wrong track. He used the word "change" 10 times. But he didn't spell out what he wants to change from. Barack Obama is very clear when he says he wants to change from the dreadful policies of the Bush administration on war, taxes, health care, and much more. What exactly does McCain want to change from? It is odd to run against your own...

Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday. In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren." At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? "Slow down our economy"? I don't really think there's much debate that, at least initially, a...

LAUREN MAGGI HAS A PRELIMINARY HEARING AT 2PM, JANUARY 4, 2007, BEFORE JUDGE HIGGINS, COURTROOM 260A, ONADAGA COUNTY/CITY OF SYRACUSE CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE , 505 SOUTH STREET, SYRACUSE, NY 13202. Please write Honorable Judge Higgins and ask him to please set the tone that this type of behavior will not happen without punishment in his part of America... (Please be respectful to Judge Higgins.) A slap on the wrist will spread this type of behavior across America like a summer wild fire.

Economics is not my forte. Can anyone refute or confirm this? I'd guess that there's some funny math going on here, such as when this analysis began. Based on the other silliness on the EPI website, I'd say there is definately an agenda on how to skew the numbers. ________________

Occassionaly, I listen to NPR's "news" to hear the clever ways the twist (by adding un-needed words/adjectives in effort to sway the story to meet their socialist agenda). After a priceless news update, they mentioned the exciting beginning of an NPR whine club...or at least that's what I heard.

<p>Do you credit the Bush administration for the recent economic surge?</p>

Should Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have ordered a comatose woman to be kept alive?

I'm a Manager at an Automotive Engineering/Manufacturing company. We have a mentoring program for which I am a "mentor". I really enjoy it; it's a great experience for the mentors and the mentored. It revolves around leadership. We meet every 3-4 weeks. At the last meeting, we were discussing problem-solving. A friend of mine was making a point about how issues/problems are inevitable, and it's all about how these problems are dealt with that makes the difference. Within his speech, he mentioned that the Bible states something that is counter-intuitive: "Consider it pure joy when you face problems of many...

This is my first vanity; I hope it's not inappropriate. Basically, everything dissenters predicted about the liberation of Iraq was totally wrong: - The Iraqis don't want us there. (wrong!) - It will be another "vietnam" (take too long). (wrong!) - They don't have WMD. (wrong!) - We'll kill more civilians than Saddam does. (wrong!) - The rest of the world is not with us. (wrong! see UK, Australia, almost all of E. Europe, Spain, Italy, Japan, etc.) - We don't have UN approval (wrong! unlike Clinton in '98) - We don't have Congressional approval (wrong! unlike Clinton in '98)...
