    my daughter does not like me to sing?

    Janny, I wouldn't worry about it. Really. She's twelve years old and is coming into the age where (a) everything you do is going to agitate her and (b) that she's going to start to realize that parents are real people. I really doubt she means anything by it. My guess is that she's just at...

    Ft. Hood soldiers must declare their privately owned firearms

    Yes and no. On the one hand, yes, it was a stupid overreaction. But in reality, it was more of a powergrab by the federal government.

    Ft. Hood soldiers must declare their privately owned firearms

    In all fairness, this isn't a new thing. I had to do the same thing back in the late 80's. The idea that taking guns away from law abiding citizens will somehow stop criminals from owning guns has long confounded many of us. But the idea that soldiers can be trusted with a military-issued...

    Obama’s Aunt is a Chip off the Old Shoulder

    It's a play on words.

    How is something like this even remotely possible nowadays?

    Except that that's not what they said. They seem to care very much who's pro-life, though. But if they don't care that she tried Wicca and rejected it, just as many of us in out TEENAGE years tried things and rejected them, then why is it such an issue for them? It isn't the "Christian...

    "Pledge to America"

    I think the PtA will be a mistake for a couple of reasons. The first is that they tried this in '94 and it was a disaster because they never followed through on any of it. The second is that it doesn't go far enough. The third is that they don't explain how they plan to do these things...

    How is something like this even remotely possible nowadays?

    OK. If you don't understand "freaking out", then I'll just say "making a big deal out of". The bottom line is that it's hypocritical that people who call us intolerant and would never let the issue go if we said that you shouldn't vote for somebody because they're a homosexual, are now trying...

    Every liberal commentator I've seen on TV in the last week. It's a huge story, for some reason.

    How is something like this even remotely possible nowadays?

    Same here. It's no different to me than all of the liberals who have been calling us "intolerant" for all of these years, but now are freaking out because Christine O'Donnell says she experimented with Wicca when she was in high school. I don't get the double standard.

    How is something like this even remotely possible nowadays?

    No. I never tried to justify anything. It doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, racism is wrong. Period. And, just so you know, I'm neither a Republican, nor a Democrat, so your "other guy's favorite party" comment doesn't work. All I did was to point out that there is a...

    Same way the Democrats can keep electing a Klan leader, I guess.

    Would you shoot a home invader?

    I think the assumption here is that all other options have been exhausted.
