    I have seen/heard multiple sportscasters hammering Romo for trying to do too much; lack of judgement; recklessness...On the replay (from behind the pocket) Romo's left foot was clearly kicked by his lineman's right foot as he attempted the throw. Now, I am not a Cowboy fan, but he is being slammed mercilessly with no mention of what was clearly visible on replay. For goodness sakes, he threw for over 500 yds!

    OK, here we go again. (Words mean something, and we let the pervs control the language.) What is "the right"?? Do they mean the people who believe in and trust that the U.S. Constitution was and is a Contract by and between the States? Do they mean the people that understand that the U.S. Constitution's purpose is to protect us from our Government by strictly limiting it's powers so as to protect our liberties and our right to pursue our own happiness, with minimal (and explicitly delineated) restriction? Do they mean the people who respect and trust that the U.S....
  • Debates and Fact Checking

    Question: Why doesn't FoxNews use one or more of it's cc streams during the debates to run a fact-check on what the pResident and Mitt say? I'd bet that with current technology they could provide the facts and ensure the truth doesn't just get swept aside. Think what a shot across the bow it would be for all subsequent debates (and "State of the Union" speeches, etc).
  • Apparently the Economy in Fairfax County has Recovered!

    Driving on West Ox Rd in Ffax County today I noticed that there are now "One Way" signs by the dozens posted in the median strip on a 3 to 4 mile stretch of the road. Most of these have been erected in the median opposite of where someone's driveway intersects the road. In one stretch there are 6 or 7 in a 50 yard stretch of road, some within ten feet of each other. I hesitate to guess how many $$ it cost to manufacture, ship, and install these signs, but I can think of a thousand ways this...

    I propose that the GOP Congress push for IMMEDIATE adoption of Obamacare! The Dims have structured the plan so that the catastrophe will not become apparent to the 0bamabots until after his 2012 re-election. If we demand immediate implementation the Dims won't be able to hide. They won't be able to delay while "... 127 people per day die" and they won't be able to explain how we must continue to wait "...after 100 years of struggle..." to create this "benefit". I also propose a phased implementation of 20% of states per year so as not to "overwhelm" the bureaucracy....
  • Vanity: Send Sen McCain a Message He Can't Easily Ignore

    Like many people I am very conflicted about casting my precious vote for Senator McCain this November. I want to suggest a way to send an irrefutable signal to him that we are voting for him as the least of the evils and NOT because we think he is the Conservative leader we had hoped for. I think that if Conservatives voted for him by using the Write-In vote as a signal that we demand that he adopt, and actively promote and defend CONSERVATIVE principles and our U.S. Constitution a very strong message would be sent loud and clear. It...
