Why 10-Year-Old Won't Say Pledge Of Allegiance

One thing that upsets me are parents who feel the need to use their children to help bring about the five minutes of attention the parent believes their cause deserves. Its pretty clear the 10 year old boy was set up to this by his parents. Sad really.

States Report Stimulus Is Working

Alan, wake up from your dream world and smell the damn coffee. Your premise that things could be worse only reinforces the fact that liberals are beginning to grasp at straws in their support of Obama policy which are actually failing miserably.

Cokie Roberts on Roman Polanski: "Take Him Out And Shoot Him"

“And yet, the victim herself wants the case dismissed.”

Yet, it is not the girl’s law that he broke it is society’s law. It is society that Polanski owes his debt not the girl. And, Alan, I dare you to read the girl’s Grand Jury Testimony and not think that Roman deserves everything he has coming.

Did Bush's Homeland Security Laws Prevent US From Getting Olympics?

Interesting that many knew Friday, Alan, you libs would figure a spin to blame Bush. The only question is what took you so long?

US Tortured Innocent Man To Extract False Information

Alan, chooses to imply a broad definition for the word “torture” so as condemn any treatment HE finds offensive. Yet under International Law it defined rather narrowly.

Article 1 of the UN Conference Against Torture (S. Treaty Doc. No. 100-20, 1465 U.N.T.S. 85) defines torture as: “Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person …”

Since the treaty wasn’t self enacting after Ronald Reagan signed it the Senate further defined torture when they passed enabling legislation. The senate mandated in regards to the Article 1 definition: “United States understands that, in order to constitute torture, an act must be specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering.”.

I will spare you the Vienna definition which came out of the Human Rights Convention which is basically more of the same.

While The Geneva Convention Treaty of 1949 makes several references to banning torture the document appears silent in terms of its definition other than a rather vague reference to “physical suffering” (Part II, Act. 32). And, at any rate, any definition of torture in the GCT might be found in court to be a moot point in view of subsequent definitions.

This subject really needs to be put to rest that is why I support charging BushCo with whatever violations of International Law that may have occurred. Let the prosecutor draw up the charges count by count. What law was violated, who, when and where. Then make the case before a jury.

Coulter: Liberals Responsible For Comparing Obama To Hitler

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe Obama is the first US president to be portrayed as Hitler. It wasn’t right then and it isn’t right now.

Obama Makes Progress At UN On Iran And Nukes

What seems to be over looked here is that Russia in on Russia’s side. They will act in a manner that reflects their national self interest. I’ll leave it wise men/women than I to ponder what Russia may know that the US does NOT.

Eric Cantor Says Woman With Growing Tumors Should Find Gov't Program Or Charity

Something sounds fishy here. High paying job. No Cobra? What gives, Alan?

Congress Passes Resolution Rebuking Wilson

Decorum is the thing. Yes, as it was during Bush’s State of the Union message in 2005. We should respect the office if not the man.

USA! We're Number One! In Arms Sales

Alan, your headline declares “USA! We’re Number One! In Arms Sales” followed with a pic of dozens of small arms. Yet the text of your article clearly spoke about billion dollar weapons systems. Why not display a picture of a Cobra gunship or may-be a couple Sams? Or was there another unspoken message you wished to send your readers?

OMG! Obama Is Going To Talk To Our Kids!

Personally I respect Obama for his accomplishments, certainly they pale my own by far. I respect the office he holds and feel given his background, he can be a motivating force for our young people. To further instill the virtues of hard work, self responsibility, staying in school and a college educate should be the duty of every president. However, after reading the proposed lesson plans associated with next week’s broadcast, which amount to enforced hero worship, I am left once again to question Obama’s motivation.

Why The Public Health Care Option Is So Important

How can Dean say the public option plan will be 10% cheaper when no one even knows what the public plan will cover? The benefits covered by a public option will not be determined until AFTER the reform package is passed and the commission that will decide such matters for me.

For me the bottom line is like the man said last week in one of Obama’s scripted town halls “Mr President you DON’T have the money”.

Its funny that just a few months ago LL proclaimed Reps irrelevant. Yet when they need someone to blame it is the irrelevant Repubs they turn to. The Dems OWN the senate, they OWN the house and they OWN the WH yet still blame Repubs when their party seems to be failing. In the words of Olbermann WTF.
