When you proclaim what is right for this country, you might want to consider what the PURPOSE of this government is! That mission statement can be found in the Preamble. It says: We, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. What clause speaks to this subject? To form a more Perfect Union? Sure! To Promote the

The day BEFORE the Trayvon killing, she told him she was leaving him. That wasn't introduced into evidence at the time. I think that it might have made some difference as to his frame of mind. She went to his trial. He didn't show up at her hearing.

You phrased it beautifully. I was reading today about violent crime stats in certain communities. Now, this is REPORTED violent crime - In certain ZIP codes, as many as one in SEVEN to one in FIFTEEN people have been victims of VIOLENT Crime in a single year. I say, "Let's Fix US first" Fix our neighborhoods, then fix our healthcare system. Stop being the world's unpaid policeman - that's what I say. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/25-most-dangerous-neighborhoods/

Why does answering/addressing the atrocity indicate a need for killing people? How does killing people adversely affect a ruthless regime which has a psychopathic view of humanity? Never doubt that the recent relatively small use of chemical weapons was a test run for a bigger target. You're frustrated at politicians playing political games? We're getting what we deserve, because numbskull voters put obstuctionist neanderthals in positions of power. How can we expect better? We're supposed to be working together for "a more perfect union". How could Constitutional framers have envisioned that

Right! Whether it's a few missles or thousands of them, killing people doesn't teach any lessons about killing people except how to do it! We'd essentially be saying - "You can't kill masses with poison gas. Here's how you're supposed to do it! Ka-boom! See? It's all about missles and bombs" I noticed some weasel-words from Kerry about chemical weapons. It had to do with their use in a non-military application. Why make that distinction, except to imply that in certain military cases, sarin gas is an acceptable alternative? Perhaps Kerry was making it okay for the Industrial Military Complex t

What does this mean? Considering that Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and has veto power to block any UN action -- What does "Have the UN make the Russians clean this one up" mean?

I'm questioning our role as the world's policeman. I think that it's time for a new organization to act in that role, for that purpose. UN enforcement is a joke, especially if one country, even if that country is the USA, can veto necessary action! If a sitting US President violates international law by ordering the torture of prisoners of war, he should go before an international tribunal for punishment. Same for a Syrian President who orders the dispersal of chemical agents to kill large numbers of people! It doesn't matter which country's leader is guilty - He or she should be held to accou

I'm just glad that the GOP is ditching the Reagan model of premptive military intervention. Reagan's idea was to try to shape circumstances BEFORE anything contrary to our interests happened. It was the foundation of the War in Iraq, then Afghanistan. It was a dismal failure that cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars! I'm fine with Congress needing to approve all but imminent-threat military action! Anyone saying that the President should have just taken action himself and not waited on Congress -- Is the way to handle a ruthless dictator like Assad to also utilize a

I think that it's more sinister than that. I think that the Industrial Military Complex, which profits from military efforts, is what is behind keeping us in a perpetual state of war. I think that the ability to buy politicians by creating Super-PACS will be our downfall. Our politicians are paid shills for hire. They care NOTHING about "a more perfect union" and everything about collecting money from the companies that sponsor them. The companies that make war planes and drones and bombs and ammunition and gas masks - They're seeing dollar signs, versus going out of business if there are no

Never underestimate thepersistence of religious nutjobs! Remember that it was the religious nuts that required the Biloxi casinos to float and would not let them be securely fixed to Mississippi soil, prior to Hurricane Katrina. Now -- they're on dry land. So the religious nutjobs are -- Obstructionists, through and through! Eventually, common sense will win out and eventually our society will progress to where the religious nutjobs are swept out of the mainstream and into the dustbin of history.

I think that it's just a reflection of how little thought went into the post. I'm sure that to that particular poster, it made perfect sense. So there it is!

You do know that Russia is on the UN Security Council and has VETO power, right? Russia will VETO any proposed action against Syria. But you were saying - "Let the UN take care of it"? In context, what does that mean? If you mean, "Let nothing happen" and let Russia take the blame/responsibility for whatever catastrophe results, even if it's the death of a hundred-thousand or more..... I guess my question is, "Is there a line, as far as you are concerned, that mandates military action?" If Assad uses chemical weapons to break the will of the rebels and gets away with it, doesn't that mean

TC! I'm sure that you've read what I have to say about PCOM aliases - they're not real. Despite the fact that you cleverly disguise your "ugly words" by using a zero and a dollar sign, your attack isn't personal, because "eym_sirius" isn't a person - Just like "TabbyCat" isn't a person. We're just talking here, as alias-to-alias. A comment like, "So? Your a no vote?" deserves a ridiculous response because it's a stupid comment on a number of levels. Did he/she mean "ARE YOU VOTING NO?" If so, "your a no vote?" as a way of phrasing the question indicates a communication skill level not w

I'll bet you that Nostradamus predicted something similar. What you quoted as a prediction is the perpetual state of mankind. All of that "last days" talk has always been a bunch of hooey. Social dynamics have nothing to do with the Supernatural!

Nowadays, as it's always been, "hearing one report" from an unidentified source is absolutely worthless when it comes to discovering the ACTUAL state of things. I don't know how to tell you this, other than to state it plainly - People make stuff up.

I think that authorization to strike, even if passed by Congress, doesn't mean that we have to strike with missles. I think that, as Commander-in-Chief, Obama can order our military to remain on ready-alert and in position.

You apparently don't read your own posts. So let's review. I'll walk you through it. Here's what you initially said - That Sen. Scott had NOT BEEN INVITED to the Anniversary of the March on Washington. He was invited! Then you BACKTRACK and say that he wasn't INVITED TO SPEAK at the event. Where did THAT come from, since, as you say, your title nor your orignal post mentions anything about Sen. Scott SPEAKING at the event! Where did his office say that he might have rearranged his schedule? Here's what YOU said: ["His office probably handled that for him. If he had been invited to SPEA

How disingenuous of you! Neither your topic nor the title of the article you referenced mentioned Scott's not being invited AS A SPEAKER. FYI, when you're putting a speaker's list together, you find out who is able to attend, first, before you invite them to speak at the event. You said that he was not invited to the event. He was. Try to reconfigure the facts according to your narrative if you want to. It's like I said, though - radical right wing types on this board have zero credibility. I'm curious to know how it is that you're aware of what Sen. Scott would most likely have done under di

There's a REASON, of course, that pervy predators choose children they know. The first order of business is to build a trust-relationship, a cloak for hiding the driving force behind the pervy predator's actions - an obsession-fantasy. If a person has these perverted fantasies about children, why would he seek a career where he only deals with adults? The answer: He wouldn't, unless his career allows him time to also be a boy scout leader, a tutor, a swim coach - or otherwise give him the opportunity to be alone, on occasion, with the object of his fantasy-obsession. Pastor, priest, religio

How is it that someone who calls himself "news-Junky" isn't in possession of the facts? Could it be that he/she is only reading/watching JunkyNews outlets? And how about those on this board who passed judgement on those organizing the event? Shouldn't they apologize for having gotten it wrong, starting with "NewsJunky"? Bearing False Witness seems to be the modus operandi of todays radical right. When the truth comes out - they RARELY go to the trouble of setting the record straight. Some of the high-level Fox commentators occasionally apologize to keep a modicum of credibility, when they

Your questions make no sense. Exactly what are you asking about voting? Are you implying that a vote will be taken on the action against Syria and that the vote choices will be, "yes" and "no"? That wouldn't make any sense, either. If you're able to construct a sensible question, would you like to try again? How about tomorrow, when you're better?

Who wants to go back to the day of being excluded from healthcare coverage because -- you're sick and you've been sick before? As we get older -- which of us WON'T have pre-existing conditions? Who is FOR pre-existing conditions being excluded? Those politicians who are 1) getting payoffs from the Dr.'s lobby and 2) shaking in their boots at the spectre of Obamacare being wildly popular and having Democrats control the Presidency and both Houses of Congress for the next milennium. We can't afford healthcare as a group, as a country? Then the problem is not Obamacare, it's doctors and pharm

I challenge you ALL to listen carefully to the President's words as he describes the allegations against Syria. It makes little sense that Syria gassed its people in such a small-time manner and so close to its own military personnel and supporters who could have become victims. More likely, operatives of the Industrial War Complex tipped off the Syrian Government about where they could blow up a bunch of rebel leaders and the operatives released gas in the area where the missles struck - because, of course, they knew where the missles would strike. Assad would get the blame and President Oba

Consider that whether it's this guy or a priest with his eye on an altar boy, the pervy predator may have made his vocational choice based on the many opportunities to get alone with children. You see it all over the place and people keep trusting these guys who have a high incidence of being sexual predators, statistically speaking. In any event, there's one thing crystal-clear - NONE of these guys believes his own BS about there being a supernatural being who is watching him. If they did believe it, would they SO betray people's trust? Would they SO take advantage of young children? TH

I'm sure that the spirits appreciate that. They probably don't get much action anymore!
