Under the banner of "national security", unmanned drones are being used to "protect" against "terrorism" and in the process, killing hundreds of non-terrorists and other innocent, if not unfortunately located people. How is what the American government doing in these operations, any different than the "evil" of wrongly killing those undeserving that it claims to be fighting against? Is the value … more ›

Former President Bill Clinton gave a rousing speech -- as evidenced by a cheering and chanting crowd. But, did it do its job? What do you think?

Clinton and President Barack Obama have not always gotten along -- take four years ago, for example. Then, Hillary Clinton wanted to president, too, and there was a fiery battle to the nomination. Nowadays, Clinton is behind Obama. And, he got a few comedic jabs to the Republican Party just to make sure it was clear. "People ask me all the time how we delivered four surplus budgets," he said in a prepared statement. "What new ideas did we bring? I always give a one-word answer: arithmetic." His speech lifted the audience to its feet a number of times and had them chanting "four more years, …
In a complicated decision, the justices upheld most of the health care reform legislation popularly known as Obamacare.
Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision Thursday upholding most of President Obama's signature health care reform legislation? By a 5-4 vote, the justices upheld most of the act, although the opinion is a complicated one.

Swim all day and sleep like lambs. Get up and do it all over again. My uncle discovered LBI right after the big storm of 62. My uncle eventually left the … more ›
