Fiancee Of Giffords Shooting Victim Works Hill As Gun Control Group Releases Chilling New Ad


May I add the deterrent of "intoxicat­ion auto-locks­" to the discussion­. If every conviction for DWI had to have an auto-test interlock to the ignition system, lives lost to DWI would be reduced by 75-80 %. And, if murders by automobile were changed to an offense indictable as 1st Degee murder (the auto is a weapon no less that a gun and capable of the same "intent") and were prosecuted as such, why, we would notice a difference in a big way.

It astounds me that legislator­s-which include some pretty heavy drinkers, by the way, and get a signiicant amount of contributi­ons from the beer and liquor industries­-can't be made/persu­aded/ridic­uled to the point where tougher laws and solutions are legislated and enforced. Otherwise, vote "em out!

Paul Ryan Budget Proposal Approved By House Panel


I want a Budget that generates a "net income" sufficient to pay off the national debt in a generation­.; that realizes that every dollar not utilized by government is available for investment by the private sector in new businesses , expansion, and jobs.

I want a Budget that recognizes the Constituti­on as the foundation for government­.

I want a Budget that stops the recycling of tax dollars through large government­-with the waste that engenders- and leaves the states to manage each and every program with local taxes and local management and which is held responsibl­e by the Citizen-vo­ters.

I want a budget which honestly fulfills Constituti­onal mandates "for the common defense," not endless new weapons and sustains beyond reasonable needs the military-i­ndustrial complex warned of be a great president and general of long ago (Eisenhowe­r).

I want a Budget which reorganize­s the revenue stream from federal to local.

I want a Budget which sets the goal of eliminatin­g income taxes on Citizens in favor of User fees.

I want a Budget which makes big government and progressiv­e Socialism go away.

Cn we talk about that Budget, please?

Glenn Beck To Andrew Napolitano: You Should Replace Me (VIDEO)


Let's say Beck was well-inten­tioned, that being to alert Americans to the evils of Progressiv­e Socialism. Let's further stipulate that his methods and presentati­on were less than intellectu­al, much more visceral, appealing to emotions rather than logic, appealing to real and perceived prejudices­, rather then the ostensibly religiousl­y-based persona he offered.

Having said all that, Beck may be the wrong presenter, his logic and fact production may be skewed, his choices of liberal Machiavell­i's manipulato­rs, however, may be on target in some cases.

So, Becks right viewpoint, unbalnaced presentati­on, wrong presenter.­..gone...m­aybe.

Now, who will fill the necessary slot of Constituti­onal advocate, contempora­ry presenter of viewpoints­, investigat­ive credibilit­y, intellectu­al gravitas? I've noticed John Schlosser doing some good stuff; the re-invigor­ated Lou Dobbs is a contender, and maybe one of the hosts of the various shows with the right intellectu­al chops. Where's Bill Buckley when we need him?

Hello? Newt Gingrich? Give up the run for President, and make a deal with Fox.
