Bears almost stun, then stunned by Falcons
Third game now that the defense folded in the last 5 minutes of a game. The Bears are getting every bit what they deserve. 7-9 coming. (21 hrs ago | post #213)
Debate swirls over arrests of 13 Highland Park teens accused of...
Hallelujah! An adult did the right thing at the right time in the right way. They need to throw the book at these hard drinking teens. I hope it goes on each of their permanent records and prevents them from getting into their preferred colleges. This driver is a hero in a war against out of control teens. One man can make a difference. GIVE THAT DRIVER A BIG RAISE !!! (Wednesday Oct 8 | post #770)

I appreciate your calm response. You were inaccurate in your self description. You are a naive pacifist. Obviously you nor any family memeber have no personal experience with genocide, fascism, nazism, or living under a dictatorship. Being a Pacifist in the USA is fine until you become naive. If you think the great things we have here in the United States (freedom, liberty, justice, opportunity) are not worth defending and dying for, then what is? Your obamanotion that you can simply talk with an adversary to gain lasting secure peace is pure stupidity. The most effective organization ever assembled were men of the US Constitutional Convention. Hope for a pacifist ruled world all you want, but it is infeasible in this time space continuum. The most dysfunctional organization ever assembled is the U.N. (the Pacifists dream come true). Thank your sad **** that there are people in this country willing to fight and die for it so folks like you can be safe and snug in your jammies each night. There would never would have been an America if people like you were in charge in the beginning. We saw what your kind did in 1937-39 in Europe. You should consider moving to Europe...really, I'm not being insulting. Europe exists as it does today because Churchill and FDR and their respective nations believed in fighting for freedom. I propose that Pacifists be put in front of the advancing enemies of democracy so you can talk yourself to a new level of enlightenment. It will also make it more difficult for the enemy armies to advance over your cold dead corpses. (Wednesday Oct 8 | post #114)
U. of I. reverses controversial ban on political activity
Buttons and bumper stickers are not the real problems here. The real problem involves the teachers practicing, promoting, promulgating their personal political beliefs during lectures, controlling student discussions, and in grading essays. Then, on the enforcement and intimidation side, profs are penalizing students who espouse contrary views and beliefs. This hidden-in-plain-si ght discrimination is insidious and pervasive in most public universities. Students are generally smart. They know if they parrot back the profs views, then they will receive higher all around scores. These profs have motive, opportunity, and ability to inflict their political and moral views unchecked by oversight or audit upon the vulnerable student. Forget the bumper sticks and pins, the problem is in the classroom. (Tuesday Oct 7 | post #14)

Morality is only relative if you are on the wrong side of it. Only immoral people promote the relativity theory. Clearly you are from the generation of situational ethics and no moral foundation. (Monday Oct 6 | post #108)
Cubs may have to hear "choker" label
Choker labels don't stick anymore because the players make to much money. For a Choker label to have an effect, the players and the management need to have some pride. These Cubs don't. If the players had any decency they would all shut their pie holes and get out of town. (Monday Oct 6 | post #74)
Soriano blames flop in postseason on Cubs' make-up
The player's comments, self-rationalizati ons, and bland reactions to losing another game evidences that this particular takes little to no pride in their game. With the shameful, wimpy performance they gave, everyone of these guys (except Lou) should be hiding their faces and shutting their mouths. Lou as manager should be the only voice we hear. Those overpaid choke artists can now spend the winter counting their money. This historic collapse and failure is simply the first chapter of the second hundred years. To the players: Shut up and go away 'til the Spring you mouthy prima donnas. The Curse has grown and expanded. (Monday Oct 6 | post #55)
WHO WON THE VP DEBATE? Who won the VP debate? It's debatable.
Thank you for this post. My sides are aching from laughing so long and hard. You certainly don't know you American history, Black or White. Please post more, seriously. We all need to laugh at the world through your colored eyes. (Sunday Oct 5 | post #1140)
Cubs' swept out of playoffs by Dodgers
As predicted in June, July, August, and September, the Cubs choked and failed in the ugliest of ways thereby fulfilling their 2008 destiny. Particularly telling was that they looked so bad doing it. Let the second hundred years begin. One could righteously and factually say that if the Cubs couldn't win it with this team, then they can't win it period. What's next? Given that this is Chicago, everyone should receive monstrous, irrational pay raises. First task after the season ends: Trade Z (Head Case), Soriano (ADHD), Fukudome (Choke) for some quality players who know how to compete in the playoffs. Under pressure, these guys are about as tough as a butterfly wing. Lou, time to move on. (Sunday Oct 5 | post #528)
Speak correctly, or build a big bunker
Nonsense, K, what you assert is pure rubbish. Dissent and criticism is welcomed and encouraged when its purpose is to protect and defend America. Your approach to verbal abuse of America'a leadership and strong desire to surrender and wave white flags is what is wrong. Patriots do not surrender their country to those who seek to destroy it. That is why you fail to comprehend the true issue. Patriotism is multi-faceted, there is no single definition or dogma. Patriotism is NOT subordinating America to Islam which is what you and your kind desire. Your kind try to make Patriotism into shades of gray rather than the true black and white that it is. (You obviously are ignorant of American History and the intense diversity and differences of the founding fathers whom, no matter how hostile their differences, always stood together when the nation was threatened.) Why don't YOU state what you believe Patriotism is? (Saturday Oct 4 | post #929)

This movie is hilarious especially if you know your historical characters. Bound to be a classic, this film will pull back the thin skins of the Liberals and Dems and really zing them with fact-based pointers. It works as a solid moderate rebuttal to the usual waste Moore foists on the public. (Saturday Oct 4 | post #89)

Do you then acknowledge that BHO and Biden lack the same level of honesty that you you applauding here? Equal standards for all people, not just those with whom you agree. (Saturday Oct 4 | post #915)
Speak correctly, or build a big bunker
The only thing pathetic here is your whiney sensitivity. BTW...cats bounce off walls effortlessly and recover with perfect balance. Learn a more ugly and divisive invective if you need to be insulting. Perhaps you are just a young, gestating Liberal at this time. Be patient. Your hatred of this country and those who choose to defend it affords you time to development. May God send angels to watch over you and protect you. (Saturday Oct 4 | post #914)

WHO WON THE VP DEBATE? Who won the VP debate? It's debatable.
and you, Mac, don't possess the knowledge, insight, judgment, and intelligence to be a voter. She's more qualified as a government EXECUTIVE than Barry and Biden put together. Pssst - The VP job is an EXECUTIVE job. It's not like a position where you can just show up and say "present " like your idol Barry. Executives do real work. (Friday Oct 3 | post #538)
