Yeah, well - that's just Mr. Spitzer's liberal gun-grabbing opinion.

Looks like the Republican party is in serious self-destruct mode. Can they get any more absurd?

American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer today blew up over the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), warning in a blog post that “ENDA would represent the return of Jim Crow laws.”

On his radio program Focal Point, Fischer warned that if ENDA is signed into law businesses will be faced with a barrage of “flaming homosexual” job applicants.

“The homosexual lobby,” Fischer said,“will send a guy in there wearing stilettos, a dress and dangly earrings” in order to provoke Christian business-owners “not to hire him.”

Conservative critics of federal social programs keep sounding the alarm that the United States is rapidly becoming an “entitlement society” in which social programs are undermining the work ethic and creating a large class of Americans who prefer to depend on government benefits rather than work.

A new CBPP analysis of budget and Census data, however, shows that more than 90 percent of the benefit dollars that entitlement and other mandatory programs spend go to assist people who are elderly, seriously disabled, or members of working households — not to able-bodied, working-age Americans who choose not to work.

Says the Marin County fruit who wears stilettos, a dress and dangly earrings (but only when going "out on the town".) Not that there's anything wrong with that...

The Second Amendment wasn't intended to protect the right of Americans to rise up against a tyrannical government.
This canard is repeated with disturbing frequency. The Constitution, in Article I, allows armed citizens in militias to “suppress Insurrections,” not cause them. The Constitution defines treason as “levying War” against the government in Article III, and the states can ask the federal government for assistance “against domestic Violence” under Article IV.
Our system provides peaceful means for citizens to air grievances and change policy, from the ballot box to the jury box to the right to peaceably assemble. If violence against an oppressive government were somehow countenanced in the Second Amendment, then Timothy McVeigh and Lee Harvey Oswald would have been vindicated for their heinous actions. But as constitutional scholar Roscoe Pound noted, a “legal right of the citizen to wage war on the government is something that cannot be admitted” because it would “defeat the whole Bill of Rights”— including the Second Amendment.

Not surprisingly, you've got this completely backwards. The 2nd Amendment, i.e an armed populace was intended to PREVENT the government from getting tyrannical ideas. If the government knows that we CAN fight back, in theory they will act in the interests of the people and not against the interests of the people.

It is becoming less effective however (see: NDAA).

Imagine what they'll they'll try if we are nothing more than sitting ducks? We NEED the right to bear arms. If history tells us anything, it is that.

Problem is, we've become a nation of sheep (people like you and Piers Morgan) that don't understand this. History, if you understood it at all, would tell you that where there are sheep... the wolves will soon follow.

Well... Obama did it! He managed to put us in debt by another $6 Trillion in four years. January 20th 2009 the debt stood at $10.644 trillion. Today it stands at $16.644 trillion. And he says we don't have a spending problem...

Indian(American citizen ) in IT field.Very Hard to get or keep my JOB

I have been in two jobs in last 2 years and looking for new job. It's been very hard for me to get a job. I see a lot has changed for me in last year or two. My recruiter says I did very well at the interview but....Some how i feel like i am getting no where with multiple leads. I don't know what's going on but it's very different form 92 or 2002 when economy slowed....I just hope i get me job soon and get back to work so i will be contributing American citizen again...

I Just find one thing in comman with all HR/recruiters call me they are all on LinkedIn and Facebook page...this new graduate batch has very different way of doing things...they say they will forward resume to manager and i think they never do...All my calls are going that way...What am i to do as job seeker that's is only path i have to take to get a job....

I am a good person, hard worker and highly qualified and fortunate enough to have had chance to work with highly regarded companies with very quality projects in past 15 years of experience and am still humble to get a job...Don't know what has happened to this IT field..it's not the same ...May it's my frustration to get a job talking ..i don't know...Hope you all understand
