I thought it was very odd, given the last time it happened was 1415. I'm not Catholic. Many Catholics I follow on Twitter, though, are completely fine with it. They think it's a bold move and shows his loyalty to the people he serves, since he thinks he can no longer do his job -…

I find it odd. Why do they need such a large reserve of ammunition? Due to panic buying of weapons because of anticipated gun grab by the Obama administration and increased purchases of ammunition by new owners and by collectors, I understand there is now actually an ammunition shortage.

I find it hypocritical that Barack Obama not only continues the drone program for terrorists but expands it more than President Bush. When Bush was president, he was called a war criminal and then Senator Obama loudly criticized his policies. Also disturbing is the fact that the American media had this information on the CIA…

I think it shrank because new manufacturing was virtually non-existent, as company owners are holding off on new investments. Trillions of dollars are outside the country due to our high corporate taxes and if that simple measure was taken - to reduce our corporate tax rates to be competitive with the rest of the countries…

Governor Perry's State of the State speech was not unusual in subjects or tones. He touts the successes Texas has with bringing businesses to the state and our state is consistently at the top of the list when it comes to standard of living and opportunities here.

Rock the cradle, Rule the world.

I hope that Gov Heineman's decision will put pressure on President Obama to stop the roadblocks. The studies have been conducted. Obama's stalling on the pipeline construction was purely political leading up to the election. I am worried that Obama is fired up to pursue a very progressive agenda, though, and may feel emboldened to…

I was surprised at the boldness displayed by Sanford in declaring he's running for the Congressional seat. He said that his political career was over when he left office in disgrace. From someone outside of South Carolina and not able to cast a vote in the election, I would strongly encourage Republican women in the…

Though the gun registrations are public records, it was a huge invasion of privacy for the newspaper to publish the list of gun owners in the newspaper. Clearly it was a political statement meant to increase readership. The consequences were not taken into account and so we read of the break-ins and thefts. Were I…
