Sarah Palin Responds To Korea Gaffe

This woman is simply a very ambitious ignorant person who plays to the worst of American impulses. Her lack of knowledge is stunning for someone who wishes to be President. We have had puppet Presidents before and at this point in history we can ill afford one who is merely seeking the trappings of power and the financial rewards that come with it rather actually serving the general public.



I think that she should continue with her reality show and expensive speeches and leave being in charge to those who are more knowledgeable about history and geography than she.

Christian Activist Bryan Fischer Blasts 'Feminized' Medal Of Honor

My first reaction was a cynical chuckle. My second reaction is sadness. We Christians are held accountable for those non-believers that WE turn away through our words and deeds. Mr. Fischer will have to account for the people who think that Christianity is a farce and misogynistic religion. I am ashamed for him.



The President's description of what heroic acts the Medal of Honor was being honor and yes, it included taking the life of the enemy to save his brother soldier. The Sargent was eloquent and humble in his acceptance. Mr. Fischer is heartless in his criticism.

Everybody Would Be Mad At Me If I Could Fix Our Federal Budget

If it were up to me I would just slash at all of the things that folks are holding out against like Cap and Trade, taxing rich people, reforming SSI, getting rid of expensive 20th century battle ships, plans and gear, showing contractors the door and making sure old people were not sacrificed upon the alter of Hedge Fund Managers.

It would be a brutal budget but by the time I figure I would be dead the country would be well on the way to financial sanity and security.

Hire me Mr. President. I can take the anger and name calling as long as my check clears.

Try your hand at fixing our budget. The New York Times has a lovely interactive model for you to be "the decider"

Profiles in Desecration: Lebron James, Nike, and Muhammad Ali

I don't care what you say, I admire Lebron James. He is talented and a wise young man. He has a long career before him. The facet is people are jealous. He is till carving out his place in the world.



As a young college student I had the chance to meet Muhammad Ali. He was more than gracious to the screaming hoards of girls and the shy fellows who were grateful to be in his presence. Not only is Muhammad Ali a man of his convictions, a very great boxer (my passion), but one of the kindest personable people I have had the honor to meet and believe me I say that about very, very few people.

Pretend Democrats Advise Obama Not To Run For Re-Election

I want to know where these folks were when Bush was blowing the economy up? I don't recall storms of protests about a war based on a lie. He was President for FOUR years and pretty much f**ked up the country. Two years and escaping a global DEPRESSION, gaining lower taxes, the ability to keep your grown child on your health care plan, able to get health care even if you have a health condition already, and no arbitrary lifetime caps just when you are fighting a catastrophic illness, keep your college kid from selling his/her soul to Sallie Mae for an education, brought us positive global relations, our domestic auto industry is on the way back and a few things else I could list too. Has President Obama done everything you, I and even he wanted? No. Yet, he has done more than many Presidents and especially Bush.

Martin Erzinger, Morgan Stanley Wealth Manager, Won't Face Felony Charges For Hit-And-Run

Disgusted and enraged are just two words that rapidly come to my mind. What is happening to this country? What is happening to humanity? How can one human being hit someone with his car and don't stop to help but call to get his car fixed. No amount of money will give that surgeon back his good health. That level of callousness deserves jail time. Shame on the D.A.! He needs to be fired.

Three Good Things for Progressives to Take From the Midterm Election Results

M A S S A C H U S E T T S !!! I love my people here! We came out and voted to keep good people on deck fighting for us.



Louisiana.­..congratu­lations New Orleans for putting a D back in office. Also, to Charlie Melancon, it was old school LA fighting and although you deserve to be Senator Melancon Governor Melancon would be a good thing for Louisiana too.



We have to survive TWO years and then ... turn out and reclaim moving the country forward.



Keep the faith Progressives!

Poverty In Suburbs Increasing Rapidly During Economic Downturn

I was right! Disbursing the poor to the suburbs while gentrifying the cities traps folks in places with poor or nonexistent public transportation, no desire to tax enough to support services that can lead to acquiring living wage jobs, few training facilities like junior colleges or universities, near mandatory automobile ownership, and isolation from the cities that have jobs, public institutions, a tax base, transportation, and are walkable.



I pleaded with folks to forgo the lure of a lawn for the lack of a commute and the reality that shipping the poor out would come to haunt them. Give me city life any day!

Grand Junction Obama Billboard Depicts Obama As A Muslim, A Gangster, And A Gay Man

I have thought deeply about this poster and I have come to the conclusion that it is racist and more importantly ignorant. I think that it is an indictment of our educational system that someone, anyone can imply or claim that our President is a Nazi or Communist. And yes, you Mr. Artist and your cowardly patron can hide behind art and speech but, I assure you it diminishes whatever impact you desire when you won't stand up for what you believe.



I am grateful that we have a smart, brave, and forward moving President. Our standing in the world has improved and we are on the path in the right direction.



Finally, the President is black...get over it. He blackness is not impeding you or your like minded friends one bit.

Christine O'Donnell's New Web Ad Channels YouTube Star (VIDEO)

No, it's not true. It makes me steamed when folks pretend that taxes aren't needed to provide services we have come to enjoy, like roads and bridges. I have been to states and towns that pay little or no taxes...Florida does not have personal income tax but, boy you pay real estate taxes and sales taxes. All levels of government need taxes to provide services that we take for granted.



I like calling 911 knowing that if I am attacked the police will come. If my place is on fire the firemen will come and actually put it out not watch it burn. If I am sick the EMS will come and try to help me live while rushing me to a hospital public or private. And most importantly to me that if I have garbage the city or town where I live will provide curbside pickup once or twice a week.



This Libertarian nonsense about taxes is foolish. I do not want my neighbor to be a self appointed sheriff because he owns a gun and the town where I live pays no taxes to hire a professional one. Why go backwards?

The Power Of Clinton, The Invisibility Of Obama

This is the most banal and basically silly article I have read on HP. President Clinton was a far better President than George Bush I and II singularly and combined. However, his caving for the Republicans on the very things that President Obama must deal with now such as NAFTA (Perot was right about that), unleashing the regulations on the thieving bankers and welfare as we knew it which the long term unemployed could use about now. President Clinton is a diehard DLCer and we are reaping the residuals of his DLC (Republican lite) policies now. That the folks in Kentucky liked President Clinton better than President Obama is more that President Clinton is white and sounds like them.



In TWO years against all odds President Obama has yanked us from the abyss of global depression, carved for a more consumer friendly health care system, got the bankers off of the backs of college students who no longer have to sell their lives to them, spent money that saved jobs (mine included) and repaired some of our crumbling infrastructure. Has he done all that I wanted as a progressive? No. He failed to get the single payer medical system that I dream of every day, the stimulus was way too small, the bankers got off way too easy and Bush II was not brought to trial for the Iraq War and the resulting torture. President Obama has two more years to make more history.

Chamber Of Commerce Thrust Into Political Firestorm

My questions are: What does Associate Justice Samuel Alito think now? Does he still think that Citizens United v FEC does not mean foriegn money will not be mixed into our political process?



I think his mouthing "That's not true." was a farce.



The Supreme Court majority got exactly what it intended and we are the poorer for it.
