Where was the news media when Kennedy was shot? If Oswald was not a communist party member he sure had communist leanings. Why else would he go to Cuba?

One thing the news media never mentions is the millions of people killed because of anti-gun laws. Go to JPFO.ORG to check it out. Remember Mao said , political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

John Boehner should have had congress people read the Obamacare bill which consisted of over 1,000 pages instead of the Constitution, which they never read but passed it.

If the U S Contitution is irrelevent and meaningless then what is relevent? Obama could order all Americans to be put in chains and forced to do labor for his majesty. What would stop him? Nothing!!!!!! That is why we need to follow the Constitution as written and intended. The Constitution is the protection and basis for LEGAL laws

To whom it may concern:

It's all very disturbing, that today, the free press which is out last bastion of protection for our democracy is mired in delusion. The objectivity of the free press that once rained through our history and created a wall of certainty and compliance with our ideals, now leaves our democracy at the peril to those that wish to take it down. These are scary times for the foundation of our exceptionalism as a nation, as a patriot we all must rise to defend it, with the words of our forefathers!

"Guilty until proven innocent", a paraphrase we learned from American History classes (in the 1960's) and derived from the Constitution.

The alleged perpetrator of this most current event has been described by Nathan Thornburgh of Time.com as "grim paranoiac", "mentally ill", "unstable". One would suppose Mr. Thornburgh, in addition to being a journalist, is a psychiatrist or a psychologist AND has had the opportunity to examine the accused in a clinical setting. How else can he draw these "conclusions"?

If I was defending Mr. Loughner, I would have to thank Mr. Thornburgh and reporters such as he for assisting in the establishment of an "insanity defense" for my client.

As I am not a criminal defense attorney, but merely someone with about 40 years experience in the field of criminal justice (Military Police, Deputy Sheriff, Border Patrol Agent, Criminal Investigator, Police Officer, etc.), I might suggest Mr. Thornburgh stay with reporting the facts. Won't sell quite as many newpapers, magazines or garner as high a rating, but it would be much more appreciated by the public.

Semper fidelis.

The Declaration of Independence is 2 pages, the Constitution including the Bill of Rights is about a dozen pages. The Obamacare bill as wellas much else that the crooks and/or mental midgets in Washington passes are 1,000 pages and more. Just proves that if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bovine manure.

The left is in full tilt following the tragedy in Tucson.Even the mouthy sheriff is getting in his two bits. I believe it was Rahm Emanuel who has said, "never fail to take advantage of a crises," and the left is going to do their part. The sheriff points his fingers at the right because vitriole and anger. Gee sheriff you must have missed the elections should have sent a signal that the American people are fed up with your party's agendas.

As a 30 year law enforcement veteran, I was angered and appalled that the Pima County Sheriff would use the occasion of a news conference regarding the shooting of Congresswoman Gifferds as a forum to foster his illogical opinion that "talk radio" (obviously referring to conservative talk radio) directly contributed to the shooter's actions. The shooter was a mad man and the sheriff should be recalled by the voters in Pima County. Do not use this tragedy as an occasion to silence free speech or to take away our 2nd amendment rights to keep and bear arms. How typical of the left and how inappropriate.

One would expect (even from the libtard democrats and their puppet media) a modicum of decency and suffucient human compassion to leave off with their business as usual tactics of trying to turn everything into a political tragedy. The tragegy is real and it is personal for the victims and their families. It is not about the damn liberals and it is not just another oppertunity for them to advance their twisted logic and even more twisted political agenda. Just shut your pie-hole and give it a rest.

Another thing that the twisted liberals seem to do is to blame everyone and everything for a criminal act..except the criminal. It was not anyone else's opinion or action, it was not the weapon that the criminal used, it was not societiey nor was it any third person's fault. The criminal act was that of the offender personally and nothing else.

If someone intentionally uses a car to run someone down and kill them; it is not the fault of the car, the manufacturer or the dealership where the driver bought the car. Responsibility for our actions lies with the individual and only the individual.

Baloney!Sure Palin,Beck et. al, are not DIRECTLLY responsible for this horrific event. BUT, they are responsible for the NEGATIVITY and Hostile culture now so prevalent in politics.TRY being KIND say something POSITIVE offer solutions not just gloom and doom!

Rep. Fred Upton

2183 Rayburn House O. Bldg.

Washington, DC, 20515-3761

11/1/2010

The Republican meltdown that happened after the 1993 elections of House and Senate. It is not enough to take the oath you mentioned to not repeat what happened after 1993. These politicians already take an oath to defend the Constitution and then promptly forget that responsibility when they get to Washington DC. There must be an effective, hard nosed if necessary, plan of action that will avoid a repeat of the 1994-1998 debacles. There must be a consequence to not following the Constitution. Already, the Congressional Republican leadership has started trying to diminish the importance of Sarah Palin, the Tea Party Patriots and the Conservative effort to respect the Constitution. It is time to take off the gloves and start playing hardball. The present Congress, for the first time since the beginning of the American Republic has ignored the Constitutional requirement to pass a budget. What has happened every election cycle since before President Reagan is that the Party in power does what is necessary to keep the power in spite of any anger by the electorate. The Republican and Democrat parties are simply passing the coercive torch back and forth to whichever political party happens to be in power at the time. Today, a lady called into a talk radio program and complained that the Republican Congressional leadership is already talking down Palin and the Tea Party Patriots. This Democrat Congress, the Republican Congress before this one, the Democrat Congress under President Reagan, the Democrat Congress under Jimmy Carter have all been simply playing a game of “this is your turn to be in power.” . There is no reason to believe that this Republican Congress is going to do anything different.

I know that Rep. Upton will vote to uphold the Constitution, but that is not enough. Voting on someone else’s bill is not leadership. The leadership comes from writing and doing what ever is necessary to get the bill voted on, including changing the self-serving rules that Congress has instituted. I am aware that Congress is controlled by the leadership and they also control which bills get to be voted on or even read and considered. You do not have the power to force the Republican leadership to not repeat 1994, nor does any other single Representative or Senator. Therefore, it is time to go outside Congress and go directly to the voters with what is happening to America and appeal for action by the electorate. That appeal is true leadership and will alert the citizens to what is needed to avoid the destruction of America, the Constitution and start effective governing by Congress. The Tea Party folks have already understood this long ago. It is that realization by Congressional leadership that is fueling the attack on Palin and the Tea Party Patriots. Who is doing the attacking?

I went online and looked up the following data there are 1,128, 729 resident and active lawyers currently in America. The population of America is about 400 million. Four hundred million citizens divided by the number of lawyers comes to 354 citizens per lawyer. That number is not large enough to allow a lawyer to have a successful private practice.

The American Bar Association says that there were 1,116, 967 lawyers in June 2006, 1,128,728 lawyers at the end of 2006, 1,143,358 lawyers at the end of 2007. Supreme Court Justice Scalia has gone on record saying that there are too many lawyers. The one lawyer per 354 citizens is not as bad as the data showing that in Washington, there is a lawyer for every fourteen (14!!!!) residents. The failed private practice lawyers know where the money is and they go there.

The total law school, JD enrollment was 129,397 in 1995-1996, 125,184 in 199-2000, 137,676 in 2003-2004. There are 192 accredited law schools graduating 40,000 new lawyers each year. Since 2004 that means that over the last 6 years, there have been 6 x 40,000 = 240,000 more lawyers. That is much more than can have a private law practice. These numbers are why the lawyers sue after a hot coffee in a ladies lap, tobacco, and any other method of starting lawsuits. There are continuous TV advertisements to let a lawyer make some money by suing someone.

Up until 1959, the American Bar Association forbids its members to advertise to the general public. This was done because lawyers, by their training, are able to stir up lawsuits and make more money. Other countries, especially England, do a much better job controlling self-serving lawsuits by lawyers. The Trial Lawyer Association sued in 1959 to remove the ABA rule forbidding lawyers to advertise to the public. The lawyers on t he Supreme Court agreed. Watch your TV to see how many lawyers are stirring up lawsuits.

The American Senate, since at least the 108th Congress, has maintained a 60 lawyer majority to be able to stop any political effort to deal with Tort Law reform. In fact, now that the number of current lawyers in the Senate has fallen below 60, the American Trial Lawyers Association warned President Obama to not allow any legislation that may result in Tort Reform. The 111the Congress Senate has only 6 states that do not have at least one lawyer who is an American Senator.

In WWI the soldiers waited in the trenches for the whistle signal to go over the top and attack. The soldiers knew that in 15 minutes they may very well be dead! They went over the top anyway and many did die. In WWII, Kalamazoo soldiers in New Guinea (my Uncle Shirley H. Weber included) did not like to take the point when on patrol. The pointman was often the first killed on a patrol. The soldiers did it anyhow and some died. If weary soldiers can have something in their lives (America) worth dying for then why cannot politicians get enough guts to risk their re-election and start doing what ever is needed to get the job done? A law school degree should not be seen as something that makes someone “deserving” of special treatment. American citizens, the Tea Party Patriots and millions of other citizens see the lust for power and the actions of politicians. In fact, that realization and the willingness to do something about it is what started the Tea Party Patriots in America.

Law Schools are tax supported even when we have a huge surplus of lawyers. However, the GD government (and suing lawyers) has made being a physician so difficult that many are leaving the profession. Stop supporting the law schools and start giving more support to medical students.

I am writing this because America is being destroyed. Three times in my life I have needed the services of a private practice lawyer. They did a good job, and I am thankful.

p.s. Federal Term limits would go a long way to solve the problem. Congress can overturn a Supreme Court decision if the politicians have the guts.

I really think this nation should change the current political parties' names from Republicans & Democrats, to "Constitutionalists" & "Anarchists"!! That is what the two-party system has lowered itself into.

You know, everyone who thinks that the media at anytime in our history ever cared about honest reporting over selling papers needs to go back through history. A little thing called the "Indian Wars" should clear that one up nicely.

As a conservative, and a traditionalist, I think what this guy did was reprehensible. But just as reprehensible is the idea that ALL conservative traditionalists who own firearms are looking to shoot someone.

Hey, terry, next time some mugger pulls a knife on you and demands your wallet, just be kind and say something positive. I'll even send you a card while you're in hospital. George is 100% correct, responsiblity lies with the individual, and nowhere else. No one, not Glenn Beck, not Rush Limbaugh, not Sarah Palin, put a gun in this idiot's hands and forced him to pull the trigger.

Although I am not surprised, unfortunately, I AM appalled that many in the media are using the tragedy in AZ as an excuse to bash Sarah Palin and many other conservatives. If they bothered to check the facts before ranting, they would find that the assailant was anything but a "right-wing" anything.

Our nation was built on a three legged stool. God. Patriotism. Family. Each is necessary for to stool to stand and be balanced. By removing the first, we are assured that sooner or later, the time will come when the other two will be broken as well.

I'm such a sap. We've paid out bills, lived within our means and, just last week, had a mortgage burning party.

My reward - As Thomas Sowell said: "...but who are now expected to pay as taxpayers for other people's irresponsibility."

Terry, CAPS verify that you are an idiot.

I'm such a sap. I've lived within my means, pay our bill on time and in full each month, carry no credit card debt and just last week we had a mortgage burning party. My reward: As Thomas Sowell said: "...but who are now expected to pay as taxpayers for other people's irresponsibility."

Terry, ever hear of Arron Burr and Alexander Hamilton? They had some kind of dispute. And remember Andrew Jackson wasn't called Old Hickory for nothing. During the 18th and 19th century there were several fistfights on the floor of Congress.

"I understand the House does not have time to read the entire Constitution every day. I think it would be appropriate for the 9th and 10th amendments to be read every morning. They are short, simple, easy to understand and too easy to ignore."

-- Just as it would be appropriate for our children (and adults) to once again be reciting our Pledge of Allegiance every day. It might remind us that we are meant to be One Nation (not a fractured set of unique minorities and special interest groups) Under God (whom we've kicked out of the public square) Indivisible (see the One Nation comment above) With Liberty and Justice For ALL (not just the few that our political elite feel need "liberty" and "justice").

To have a constitution and to have the checks and balances that are afforded it, means that allllllll, and as many as are under this constitution will and will be required to abide by its precepts and directives set forth by its founding fathers, and that should start with the man who occupies the white house and calls himself president! A birth cert should have been required to be shown, as it was for Sen. McCain, and yet it was not! The process should have stopped when Mr. BHO did not and refused to show his Birth Cert! The system may not be perfect but this action of allowing a man who has no Identity and no proof to show that identity doesn't do that system any justice! The has surely been a fraud perpetrated by many in this action to install this man who sits in the (used to be) honorable seat as president! I am ashamed, where is the birth cert Mr. Obama? Be clear as crystal as you said you would and show the world!!!

The Left-Media feeding frenzy over the shooting of Rep. Giffords is unlike any since the Kennedy assassination. If she had been a Republican, it would have merited 60 seconds of coverage.

Twenty -- or more -- years ago, during a political discussion, when I forced her to concede that her arguments were more appropriate to a 12 year-old than to an adult, a colleague responded by saying, "You can't deny me my feelings."

That's the essence of Progressives/Liberals/Democrats/pseudo-Marxists: Their feelings are the basis of their lives. Logic, any historical understanding, rationality, go by the board. When they argue based on their feelings, they don't have to explain themselves; they create their own justification; their arguments are ever in a state of constant flux; there is no pinning them down.

Just as it is with clinically-delusional patients, it does absolutely no good to try to make them focus even on a single point. As quickly as they feel the panic that they're being overwhelmed by Reality, like small birds, they flit to another topic.

Their ultimate defense is to accuse their adversaries -- or their therapists -- of being cruel, cold-hearted, unfeeling, "mean-spirited," and it does absolutely no good to try to explain to them that their world-view is incomplete; that there is a time and a place for emotional response; that emotion must always be tempered with intellectual clarity and rationality.

But, penetrating that defense system become impossible when emotions and feelings become the mantra of Liberals when they group together. They become cultish, slaves to each other and the cacophony of the group drowns out the "still, small Voice" of Reason. They will not -- can not -- permit any outside intrusion, any point of view which might force them to abandon their feelings.

Over my 36 year career, I've come to the conclusion that Liberalism is a mental illness. What remains is for the next generation of Psychologists and Psychiatrists to classify it.

I can't imagine that there would ever be a successful treatment for it.

It is indeed a tragedy about the shooting of innocent people and congresswoman Giffords. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all.

But, the socialist left has no limitations on the depths they will go to advance an opportunity for their twisted agenda for America. To them and those who take advantage of this terrible situation, these people are merely sacrificial lambs needed to further a socialist cause.

"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex." Karl Marx

Now here the leftists have a tragedy of the “fairer sex,” a liberal martyr if you will, and what a better opportunity to take advantage of some public upheaval with their new "casualties of war."

Truly disgusting those who take advantage of these poor souls and their families tragedies.

In a free nation Like America it is difficult to stop the enemies of freedom. The answer for this is not by limiting our own freedoms, because this is a victory for those who would take our freedom away.

The answer is to maintain our freedoms and to insure that they are protected for our children. Because of the tragedy and loss of life caused by an enemy of those freedoms yesterday in Arizona has brought other enemies of freedom to call for tougher gun laws and more gun control, that will not curtail the violence it will do nothing but ensure lawful gun owners have their right to protect themselves from the enemies of freedom taken away. Our nation was fought for and created by citizens, citizens that owned firearms.

Our second amendment rights keeps us free. It protects us from the tyranny of government's, which are evil things if left unchecked by the people. We are a nation ruled by law, the people must be allowed to own and posses firearms in order to protect that rule of law. If we allow the fear of violence from some nut job to distance us from our right to protect home and hearth, then we may as well approach our oppressors already chained!

We allowed fear to drive us into an unconstitutional set of protective measures ironically called "The Patriot Act" this was a big step towards the rule of governmental tyranny and the elimination of the rule of law. For centuries men have fought and died for that rule of law, from the Magna Carta, to the United States Constitution. Once again we find ourselves at a cross roads, take one and we win our freedom take the other and government oppression shall surely overtake us!!

I find your comments insightful and concise. Asa a dem we are driven buy a buyers market. It doesn't matter why we are i n this situation. what does matter is we are a nation of laws. Up, down, peaks, and valleys are all part of our great economic cycle, not when it's controlled. or cornered by a company or an idea, comment, or precept. We all k now that B&A along with Wells Fargo has been playing footloose for a very long time. Are they part of the problem? I liberal congress wants to let them keep playing with the laws of this land. Now why?

As for Beck,so he has a communist manifesto. To a sick mind, who knows the rational of what they do. or why. Beck loves this country as does Limbaugh, savage, the rest of them.

Love can be easily misplaced for fear. I listen o two of them and they fear. Beck fears everything from mind control, listen to him sometime, end of days, maybe maybe not, sociolinguistic yet he doesn't fully grasp the sequence of what socialism is. Modern politics on both sides play on fear. Modern politics on both sides play the religious card, the race card.

Job killing bill... How many times has FOX News or Liberal radio played that in one day? We are a nation of playing to a base fear of a particular constitutes. When we target, lock and load, when we have 2nd amendment remedies, reading material aside, to an unstable mind who already believes the government is changing, if you listen to this which he did, well he pulled the rigger, who helped him? A steady diet of what most would term hate. The Pima Country sheriff mentioned this at least four times. Meif Kamph may set the tone, lock and load, 2nd amendment rights push it over the edge. Tone down the rhetoric on both sides for if we don't, we will turn into their worse nightmare.

You are a voice of sanity in an very hostile insane political world.

This was perpetrated by an insane man who was apparently pushed to the breaking point by a much older and just as insane person. I am a converted Obama file, I am sorry I voted for him, but glad I didnt vote for Mcain/Palin either. Why do we not put viable conservative candidates on the ballot, someone like Romney, Paul, or Huckabee, I'll never understand. I would have voted for any one of those three, and yet we as Americans always seem to have the worst of the lot to vote for. I voted for Obama because he appeared to be an outsider, fresh and new and maybe just maybe genuine. I learned my lesson within a few days of his election as he appointed that commie to Secretary of State. Oh well live and learn.Lets get someone up there that will fight for us no longer allow corporations to buy our nation out from under us, and will curb the Keynesian appetite of Washington and wall Street!

We had a tragic loss of citizens and Rep.Giffords in the hospital with a bullet wound. We are hearing through the air waves and television that the incidents that happened in Tucson is being blamed on Tea Party and other individuals. Rep. Robert Brady from Pennsylvania already wants to put a bill for safety for the congress. We need to take a step back and look at this rationally. The first and second amendments are at risks when congress starts to convict the amendments with new bills. There are bills that are in place already and needs to be re-looked at.

We want safety for our congress/representatives. The state of Arizona has its share of the massive turmoil. The young man did the shooting obviously is mentally unbalanced and has no political affiliation.

After the Ft Hood massacre we were told by the "news media" and the left (same thing) not to jump to conclusions. After the Giffords massacre we are told to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for overheated politics.

This is just another in the endless string of liberal/progressive/socialist diversions. Keep your eye on the goal - cutting massive government down to size.

This week we should have been voting on repealing Obamacare. Let's get to the real business of the nation as soon as possible. Next comes raising the debt ceiling with strict rules to chop borrowing borrowing down to zero within a few years. Next we should cut federal regulations in half. Then simplify the tax code, removing all deductions. And so on, until we restore limited government.

I have ponder the event in Tuscon very much. What is wrong with the media and their spin? Our president, a word which I use very carefully, declared the Republican party and their people as the enemy. Now that a crazy has accepted the challenge to be the enemy, he want it to all go away.

I wonder why he chose a Republican turned democrat to attack.

I see the left at work here to use this as their agenda to blame the people who hate violence the most. I SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS COMING!!!!!, Lets set the record straight and put the blame where it'a deserved.

The problem, as I see it is, "Who is supposed to enforce the "rulesand limits" of the Constitution?" Who is not doing their job? Who is guilty of dereliction of duty in seeing that the Congress adheres to the rule of the Constitution? Who has the ultimate responsibility?

I'll tell you who. It is the fault of WE THE PEOPLE, that's who. We've neglected to keep out eye on the politicians and let them get away with murder. We've been bought off with earmarks and entitlements and nobody wants to rock the boat. Why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? I hate to say this but we've run out of eggs.

It is WE THE PEOPLE who must make our representative represent US and not big business and big bucks.

WE THE PEOPLE have to start serious letter writing when Joe Politician does something we don't like. If they ignore us, remove them either by recall elections or by 2012 whichever can come first.

If we don't do it, we're doomed. Just as Rome fell, so will we and I'm thinking it ain't that far off.

Paul B.

My prayers go to the Arizona

shooting victims.

In Ms. Malkin's article She stated that Wm. Daley was the head of the US Chamber of Commerce. I think he headed the Commerce Dept.

Dan Lovell

If one actually listens to the talking heads blurb masters, say on the radio, I'd say Hate Speech legislation rather than gun control is the primary emphasis and goal.

peaceably,

Amid all the vitriol about this nutcase that did the shooting in Tucson, did we see any, any coverage on the 25 bodies found in Acapulco? Fourteen were bedeaded, 2 police officers were gunned down on a public street and 6 people were shot and stuffed into a taxi. How's that for an opportunity weekend for journalists?

Well I guess the media couldn't afford to send anyone to this tourist mecca. They couldn't very well blame Tea Party types for that. Could they?

Rifleman - liberalism is not a mental disease. It is the systematic attempt to avoid maturation by a large group of our citizens. To a child all feelings are valid, valuable, and omnipowerful. The process of maturation requires us to shed such notions in order to become productive to our families and others. While a child cries "you cannot deny me my feelings" we can rightly reply the following; "you have your feelings but they only matter to you and do change the reality of things". Adults accept responsibility for their actions and decisions. Children cry and complain that they are "hurt".

Correction - should be "do not change the reality of things". Mea Culpa

Slander is oral defamation of character. Defamation is a civil offense that occurs when one party makes false and malicious statements about another to a third party. Many jurisdictions have slander laws that address this type of behavior and allow the harmed party to recover damages.

For statements made by one person about another to be considered slander, several circumstances must exist. To begin with, the statements must be conveyed to a third party. The law does not generally recognize the possibility of defaming a person to herself. Also, the statements must be false. No matter how private or hurtful a comment is, it cannot be subjected to the justice afforded by slander laws if it is true.

Hey Terry..I believe it was Barry Hussein Obama who said "if they bring a knife, you bring a gun" and "get in their face" and "punish your opponents and reward your friends." And I remember Sarah Palin hanging in effigy...something our leftest media thought was funny. I don't remember any talk show host suggesting violence but did hear a number of them begging their audiences not to do anything violent.

While Congresswoman Giffords has our full sympathy and prayers for recovery, I wonder if she was the intended target.

Judge John Roll helped have the Brady Bill ruled unconstitutional. It would be consistent with the demonstrated malevolence of the Chicago thugs working hand-in-glove with the Bankster/Drug Cartel run CIA to have pulled this off. Getting another honorable judge of Roll's caliber will be well-nigh impossible in today's corrupt, tyrannical climate.

AMERICANS FOR HONEST GOVERNMENT

January 10th, 2011

The Tucson shooting is a tragedy that we Americans have to live with, We are all guilty of this tragedy. What we need to ask ourselves is, why this person took this action and what push this young man to commit such crime.

We need to acknowledge that we are part of the problem, as Americans we fail to take action and we let this corrupt government deprive millions of Americans the opportunity of work and provide for themselves and their families; we all know that they lied to us when they said that free trade was good for us; but we all know that because the free trade, millions of factories closed and we lost millions of jobs, but we did nothing. Obama said that amnesty to the 12 millions illegal aliens will benefit our economic, but this is not true, we know that illegal aliens are taken our jobs but nothing is done, The Washington corrupt politicians push for the bail-out that cost the American taxpayers trillions of Dollars saying that if we do not bailout the financial system it will be an economic catastrophe. Well today after all the expending we are worse and the American people is frustrated, many are disturb because are not able to see the end of this economic nightmare, the people know that this government lied to us, that the news-media lied that there is no one to trust, like this young man, are many that they do not have nothing more to loose and they will get even. The Washington politicians have a choice they can ignore this cry for honesty and integrity in our public services and political institutions or restore our character, principles and American values, not to mention upholding our constitution and the rule of law.

Arizona is the beginning, we could see an explosion of social unrest, if high unemployment persists. Today real unemployment is more than 14% if we count the ones that are not looking for employment any more.

Without millions of good jobs, the U.S. economy will never is going to recover.

Americans need to know the true, and Washington needs to do what is good for the American people and quick lying to the people.

Our solution to the economic recovering is the following.

1- balance the budget and start paying our national deb, it is going to be painful but we must stop the collapsing of our economy and our country.

2- We must renegotiate our trade policies and establish a par trade policy with countries that are in agreement with this policy that will spell win-win trade policy.

3- Enforce our immigration laws and secure our borders, we do not need any more immigration laws. We must send a message to the whole world that this United States will enforce its laws and will be selective as to whom will be welcome to our country. Yes we are a country of immigrants, that will welcome any immigrant that want to be part of this country and work and educate themselves to be the best they can be and contribute to make our country better.

PLEASE NO MORE VIOLENCE LET YOUR REPRESENTATIVES KNOW, THAT THEY MUST VOTE FOR AMERICA, STAND AND DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE RULE OF LAW. ALL THE POLITICIANS MUST WORK TOGETHER TO RESTORE HONESTY, PRINCIPLES AND INTEGRITY IN OUR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS.

Loungher will be prosecuted for illegal possession of a firearm, and the gun will be placed on trial for 5 counts of murder and 7 counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. Numerous witnesses saw the gun fire upon the crowd and aided in its apprehension, an ironclad case. ;'}

Of course the media will focus all attention on the Democrat Senator. It is tragic and I pray for her complete recovery. However, are we certain she was the primary target? After all a Conservative Federal Judge, scheduled to meet with Gifford seems the more likely target given the shooter's history. I submit this avenue of thought will not be given much consideration. He was killed...though you wouldn't hardly notice given the media spin. A sad situation.

IN REGARDS TO KRAUTHAMMERS COLUMN. ONE MUST KEEP IN MIND, POLITICIANS ARE POLITICIANS, WHETHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT A REPUBLICAN SHOWBOAT TRYING TO CURRY FAVOR WITH THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS AND TRUE CONSERVATIVES. IT WOULD NOT BE A FIRST TO DISTRACT AND THEN DO OTHER THEN THEY PROMISED. THOUGH IN THIS POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE, THEY MUST KNOW, DOING SUCH A THING WOULD BE TANTAMOUNT TO POLITICAL SUICIDE.

I just read where the Asst Minority leader SC Rep James Moron publically stated that he considers the elected "representatives" to be held to higher standards and should not be treated like the citizens by the TSA. ==Apparently elected to rule and not part of the riff-raff = If the voters in SC held a higher standard he would not have been reelected.

The assistant Minority Leader from SC has been in the lead of the pack accusing the Tea Party, the GOP and the conservatives with language more suited to Gobbels or Hitler and then has the gall to say intemporate language is driving the violence. How many classes in the US had papers or projects submitted when W was in office about killing the President. These was a strange silence at the time from the left.

So why was the Constitution edited? I think we are adult enough to take the bad along with the good. Now I don't know what to believe about our so-called conservative congress.

And Juan, nothing drove this insane man to violence. He was deranged, schizophrenic, and not responsible for his own actions. Those who knew him and were concerned for his actions and didn't say anything should share the blame. After all, didn't Janet Incompetano say, "See something, say something"?

And where was the Pima Co. sheriff before these murders? It's hard to believe somebody didn't bring the situation to his attention. I knew a man who was living in an RV park and exhibiting signs of instability and he had guns. I contacted our sheriff, and within 24 hours he was gone.

Again, why was the Constitution edited?

I have heard much information to suggest that Jason Laughner is mentally unstable and that he has demonstrated erratic, threatening behavior in the past. I have also heard that he often appeared to observers to be under influence of drugs, and that he was rejected by the military due to a positive drug screen.

I have heard no discussion from the leftist media regarding the role of "Drug Use" as contributing factor in the behavior of this assassin. Clearly, Mr Laughner is solely responsible for his actions, but his use of illegal drugs is certainly a possible factor contributing to his mental state, and his inclination to commit such an uncivilized act.

Rifleman: everybody is saying that Liberalism is a mental illness (started with Michael Savage, I think). My view on this is that it is evil, and that we are forever in a struggle between good and evil. A political/social movement that enslaved people all over the world everywhere it was tried, and that needs to keep the people in it by force (imagine that, having to force people to accept their own good) cannot be anything but evil.

Where is the next Ronald Regan!?!?!?! I'm old and I'm tired.

"The Constitution provides the structure of our federal system and a system of checks and balances that applies equally to each branch of government, to relations between the states and the Federal Government, and, as importantly, to each of us. It protects the rights of all Americans to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' and limits governmental authority to ensure these liberties are faithfully protected -- both by and from the state. But in the end it is each citizen who is responsible for protecting the liberties set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights."

My wife and I are at the age of permanent retirement. Yet we can't. I served 26 years in the Military and another 18 in the private sector. My wife and I have both worked our butts to the bone in order to enjoy a leisurely life. I'm afraid that we'll never see that "Golden Goose" we been trying to hatch for 40+ years.

What was it the the next corrupt mayor of chicago three fingers rahm said. "Never let a good crisis go to waste" Well at least he and his fellow deathocrats are true to their word.What else would you expect from this group of shameless trash. It's always we need more gun control or it's talk radio or it's the tea party or it's Shara Palin or it's all those evil conservative books people read or a whole littany of other excuses these pea brained morons make as they snuggle with mao's little red book when they go to sleep at night It's never the physcopath who kills.No it's someone else who caused these killings to take place.His mom and dad probably made him go to sunday school and that's why he turned out like he did and murdered like he did.If this slug had been a muslim this story would have already died.(circa the Fort Hood Massacare) And the crusades would have been the reason the"fake media" would give for the killers rampage.Semper Paratus.

I thought your office might be entertained by this:

I want to know when a class action lawsuit is going to be brought against the media and the irresponsible Congressional leaders and party leaders for this despicable smear against anyone and everyone who is against big government, the Guilford shooting is only another in a string of smears by the political left and the media are willing accomplices, I have yet to hear anything in the way of an apology or retraction given that NONE of the facts were known immediately following, and the last 48 hours since the shooting. And I'm a father, I understand to a certain extent the kind of grief a father would feel for a daughter having been so cold bloodedly shot, but the Congresswomans father, in my own humble opinion is a despicable human being, using his daughters shooting to score political points. It's past time an apology was DEMANDED from the reckless media and the politicians who hypocritically call for 'toning down the rhetoric'.

Progressives rely heavily on double standards to forward their objectives, avoiding the bright, exposing light of truth. Isn't it interesting that "profiling" is evil when it comes to identifying Jihad-based threats of terrorism, yet it suddenly becomes appropriate if it can be used to cast dispersions on the "Tea Party" movement? Eternal vigilance, patriots; keep that light of truth bright for all to see. Remember the words of John Adams - "Facts are stubborn things!"

I wish you wouldn't link to Peggy Noonan. She has zero credibility after trashing Sarah Palin in the 2008 election as well as gushing about Obama.

Back in the day, when I was a mere child in 1936, the McVeighs, Kozinskis, and the latest nut case were generally all locked safely away in state hospitals. Today, every disaffected fool is out on the street or on the internet spewing his or her brand of nonsensical hatred against everyone they disagree with. "The Terrorists Among Us," as I call them. People see their rantings on Facebook, or U Tube, and say nothing. Their classmates realize there is something amiss with their labidos, but still say nothing. Bingo, something like what happened in Arizona at a Safeway comes along and all of a sudden all the talking heads have the answers as to why, the media plays the tapes over and over again, the doctors are interviewed and asked questions that are impossible to answer, and the anti-gun people are up in arms saying that if there were no more guns, this wouldn't happen. Next, candles, flowers, teddy bears, and balloons appear outside the hospital, and on and on. It's a dangerous place out there, folks. I am not in favor of profiling, but if you see something strange in your fellows, why wouldn't you say something to someone about it, instead of waiting until after the fact to come foreward? What happened in Arizona is not the end of it either. Our media mavens are going to keep on with all of this until the next incident comes along, and one will to be sure to show up. In America, we need to stop the political vitriole and start reaching out to each other in a more civil way to solve the problems we have. The bomb and the gun solve nothing. After the shooting stops, the problems still remain.

News from the Lefties: "Obama's response to Ariz. shooting rampage, with a swift press statement and national moment of silence, reveals how administration's reaction to crisis has evolved since last year's similar attack at Fort Hood."

HA!

It hasn't 'evolved' - there are just different people involved this time: no military. He regards them with as much, if not more, disdain as he does we "little people". We threw off the yoke of a king for less than that.

Arnold Ahlert hit the nail on the head when he said to lower the spending floor. Our federal spending projections are always made on the optimistic. When managing for a large corporation, it was incumbent to have worst case scenario plans. This included numbered lists of what employee(s) was/were "expendable". Similarly our government should have plans based upon realistic negative forecasts. Included in the plan would be programs that could be eliminated. This “minimalist” plan is what should be adopted for running our federal government, given our current economic condition.

I suggest that the person who gunned down Rep. Giffords should have his name erased from public memory.

The person who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City did so for his own selfish reasons and to make a name for himself. I heard shortly afterward that there was a movement to abolish his name from public memory, to assign all memory of him to the trash bin of history. I think that was an excellent idea at the time, and I think it would be a good idea in this case.

This kind of person wants to see his name in public, splashed all over the news media. He is trying to draw attention to himself, and this is the best way he can think of to do it.

Since he was captured alive, he should stand trial for murder and then promptly be executed. There should be no thought given to an "insanity" plea. This man is not insane; he knew exactly what he wanted to do, and he did it.

Keep all mention of him out of the news media, except to announce his date with the executioner. That, I think, would be a fitting punishment for him, to know that he will be promptly forgotten; that essentially, he never existed.

You will notice that I have not mentioned the name of either one of these two persons. Keep the innocent victims in your thoughts and prayers, but let the names of the perpetrators of these heinous criminal acts be forever banished from conversation.

Sad to say, but within the first few minutes after I heard about the senseless and cowardly shootings in AZ, my first thought (after concern for the victims and families) was "man, with her being a Democrat, I'm sure the media and left loonies will be all over this one." I wish I had been wrong, but from the gun control zealots to the Sarah Palin-phobes, they didn't miss a beat.

Is anyone able to explain WHY there has to be an organization to support "wounded warriors"? The comment that a soldier effectively grants a blank check to his government when he accepts the oath of service SHOULD seal the promise of the government that if the soldier is injured he will be cared for. The soldier should not be discharged. I suggest that the time has come to balance care and service rendered. Please explain how it is that congress and senate (representatives) do not have the same health care and benefits as the rest of the government. Few place their lives on any line. Yet that have health care and retirement benefits for serving only a few days. The time is here NOW to get this corrected.

Regarding the short article by Thomas Sowell on foreclosures, he made the statement "The government is artificially keeping the prices up with subsidies and with pressures on lenders to accommodate the current occupants". I agree with him that many people were allowed to take on financial responsibilities far beyond their means by the lenders, encouraged, or even pushed, by the government; however, I believe it is the lenders themselves who continue to be the problem. When I was selling my house, maintining two households as I had to move to remain employed, I attempted to work w/ Bank of America - no one would even discuss the situation. My daughter had a short sale on her house in Phoenix; after interminable delays, refusal to accept sale...then many delays in foreclosure, causing significant additional financial penalties in addition to the pain of losing a house. I have attempted several purchases of 'short sale' or 'to be foreclosed' properties, and the lenders delay and delay unbelievably...what reason? Who knows - perhaps to hopefully profit later on when the prices go up again? Maybe the lenders aren't 'keeping the prices up' artificially, but they certainly do not seem to be very interesting in 'moving property'.

If active, and yes, sometimes heated, verbal stands for liberty, personal freedom and limited government is "vitriol", I say: Bring It.

WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED BY THE ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC.

In your, "For the record" post, you refer to the Arizona shooting of a Democrat Congresswoman and other supporters as, in effect, an act of lunacy and I can't say that I disagree but in other posts on numerous occasions, you advise conservative patriots to keep their powder dry. Is this not bordering on the hypocrisy that we've become accustomed to seeing from the party of lefties? We all know that at some point, it's possible, as it had been in times past to take more serious action against those bent on destroying our freedoms. Maybe in the minds of some, the time has come. If by chance or necessity, this type of action increases, will we join them or join the ones who'll send them to hell in a basket?

Word of comfort, words of respect, words that show the compassion of this great nation should be the offering to this loss and not the injurous insults and politics we hear. Accept the fact that a madman is to blame, and no one else. Mourn with the rest of us and if you can't then please shut up.

@John re: 01 10 11 at 12:16 -- "I really think this nation should change the current political parties' names from Republicans & Democrats, to 'Constitutionalists' & 'Anarchists'!!"

That would likely put Dems in the position of Constitutionalists, since Anarchist are extreme Right - An (no) arch (ruler), or the ultimate in small government: no government at all!  That would be closer to the conservative end of the spectrum, more like the GOP.

I suggest, for the patriotic among us, a return to the Jeffersonian "Democratic Republicans"; and, for the traitorous scum comprising the remnant of the population - Dialectical Materialists (somewhere between Marxist and Communist; I thought it suitable).

@terry  re:  01 10 11 at 12:00 -- "... they (Palin, Beck, et al) are responsible for the NEGATIVITY and Hostile culture now so prevalent in politics..."

Are you so very sure?  Could this not have just as easily have resulted from the very recent call - by noted progressive Marxist Frances Fox Piven - for violent protests?

@Rifleman  re: 01 10 11 -- "Twenty -- or more -- years ago, during a political discussion, when I forced her to concede that her arguments were more appropriate to a 12 year-old than to an adult, a colleague responded by saying, 'You can't deny me my feelings.'"

You might have put her in a real snit if you had reminded her that law - which defines and rewards wrongful actions, thus protecting her from harm her whole life thus far - is reason free from feelings (passion).  Thus, if she was hell-bent on proceeding on feelings alone, the likelihood of her falling afoul of the law eventually (sooner rather than later, in all probability) was far greater than she could know.

Ah, the things we would love to have said...

@Cepat2  re: 01 10 11 at 15:27 -- "Liberalism is not a mental disease.  It is the systematic attempt to avoid maturation by a large group of our citizens."

I do believe that is called, "Peter Pan Syndrome", and while it is not categorized as a mental pathology (disease), it displays characteristics of others - chiefly, dissociation and improper perception.

For those who feel the government shoould interfere with our right to own weaons (and want the government to confiscate them) please remember the British attempted that prior to the Revolutionary War> I am a firm believer that this is the main reason the right to own arms was included in the first ten amendments of the Constitution---AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET!

And don't forget, this was also the policy of NAZI Germany, prior to World War II, so when Hitler's Brownshirts, SS, Gestapo and others had nothing to fear when the German people became victims of a totalitarian government

Give up our arms? NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!!

It is a tragedy that this congresswomen was shot.But there were many others who were shot.A judge a nine year old little girl died.Have you heard very much about them or the others who were wonded or killed i haven't.I guess the "fake media" just considers them some collateral damage.Only the democrart congresswomen is important.Leave it to these vermin to turn a tragedy in to a political side show.On top of that! It's really not the shooters fault.It's all the hatefull speech on radio and tv. that's the cause of this cold blooded killer doing what he did.Just listen to that braindead sheriff flap his gums.I wonder how many times this sheriff and the killer crossed paths. And of course he's the"Alleged Shooter" I guess these people may have been shot by.Billy The Kids Ghost! We've got more than 20,000,000 gun laws on the books. Our politicans answer.Lets make a few more.Or lets curtail some more of those pesky "Free Speech Rihts" Will just call it hate speech.Screw what the American People Think.They're now the amerikan people.Semper Paratus.

"Only a lunatic or a leftist would do that."

Sorry, but you are repeating yourself.

Here's what I see....if you lower the tax rates and manufacturing can start up, many of these people will indeed get back to work. I read that the US has the highest tax rates on manufacturing in the world so if these rates were cut we could bring manufacturing back here. The problem with this is the unions. They have to be contained as their demands are destroying the very manufacturing that this Nation needs. We have to have a base to export goods to other countries and we have to be able to make them so they are cost effective.

Govt has become so big that it has to be scaled back! One way would be for many things the govt now does to be provided by private industry and small business loans could be provided when needed but awarding the contract could be enough - the Post Office comes to mind. It is perpetually broke while the workers (union members) make a great living with all kinds of promises that in the real world could not be made nor met. Make it like a UPS or Fed EX - go public with it - IPO's and have it run like the business it is. If the workers want to keep their jobs they'd have to do so with real world standards.

Healthcare....allow people to buy insurance across state lines like they do all other kinds of insurance. This dilutes the people pool so there is less risk for the insurers. Institute tort reform so that docs don't have to practice defensive medicine. In Texas they capped damages and cases dropped some 47% while premiums were cut in half - plainly the lawyers decided it was not worth their time and effort to sue docs there.

Get rid of govt mandates in healthcare, education and so on. There are certain places that govt is needed but for the most part each state needs to figure out what is best for itself. Here in CO, we pay a state income tax. If what we pay to the state was reversed with what we pay to the feds CO could handle its own affairs without federal interference while the fed would still have money for what it is supposed to handle on a national basis. Constitutionally speaking of course!

On the other hand, if a national sales tax were instituted, with a portion going to each state where purchases were made and we got rid of all other taxes there would be plenty of funds to go around AND those that pay no taxes would also ante up. Food and certain services and necessities would need to be excluded but the people here illegally, or criminals or whomever would now be paying taxes! If each person had their entire paycheck to spend as they saw fit spending would go up and tax revenues would increase!

The bottom line is we can't afford to support people, they have to do this for themselves but you can't touch those already in the system and are totally dependent upon it so you have to start with the people in their 40's and even mid 50's and younger and force them to save for their own retirements by allowing them to put a portion of what they are now paying into the system into their own private accounts for their retirements.

We could also stop subsidizing industries - farming comes to mind - why are we paying farmers to not plant certain crops? Let the market demand decide what crops they plant then have insurance available for only when Mother Nature does her thing but have the farms buy into the insurance fund instead of the gov't just handing out funds.

Allow nuclear energy to get going. It's clean and cost efficient and could reduce our dependence on foreign oil - of course at the same time, allow our oil and gas companies to drill for oil and gas instead of tying their hands behind their backs while foreign nations drill in our back yard. Did you know China has been given the green light to drill off the Cuban coast? Does anyone think they care 2 bits about our shorelines? Better to have American companies there getting the oil and gas.

Lower the tax rates. Govt screams at what it will "cost" them to do this but historically the biggest expansions in the American economy have occurred when tax rates were at their lowest. Lower tax rates leads to more spending - whether personal or business expansion - which has always lead to increased tax revenues. In recent history this happened under JFK and Reagan.
