NORTHGLENN, Colo. -- A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable. Jeremy Stoppel told 7NEWS he got a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires. He said he deserved that ticket and deserved having his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks.

It was only a matter of time before it started. The Democrats are beginning to turn on each other as their poll numbers sink and Republicans’ numbers start to rise. John Adler (D, NJ) says the healthcare legislation is bad for America. And he doesn’t care whether there’s a public option in it or not. The Weekly Standard notes “The bill that’s coming through the House, with or without the public option, isn’t good for America,” Adler said matter-of-factly. “We have Congressional Budget Office projections of a trillion-dollar increase in costs that will have to be borne by taxpayers or...

For years, little would upset liberals more than the suggestion they were less patriotic than other Americans. The crowd spewing "Bush-Hitler-Genghis-Khan-baby-killers-AmeriKKKa-Ho-Ho-Ho-Chi-Minh"? Great patriots, all. Bill Ayers trampling a flag? Dissent is patriotic, dude. But now that Barack Obama has been elected, comes an admission, unintended as it may be.

Denied permission to participate in the Northbrook Memorial Day parade, an anti-war group plans to gather silently at the event, prompting the local American Legion post to urge people to attend to outnumber the group. A leader of the Northbrook Peace Committee said his group merely wants to show its patriotism, but members of the American Legion decided their parade Monday would not be the appropriate time for something that could be construed as a political statement against war. "As far as I'm concerned, they aren't Americans," said Michael Murray, 62, an American Legion member who voted against allowing the...

<p>Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight.</p> <p>I made a mistake yesterday. Can you believe it? That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.</p> <p>For those of you who say I'm never wrong, I never admit I'm wrong, well, you're wrong, because I was wrong when I said that Americans who continue demonstrating against the war once the shooting begins are being un-American. I'm taking that back.</p>

Bill to end Cuba travel ban introduced WASHINGTON · Embargo opponents in Congress unveiled legislation on Tuesday to lift the ban on travel to Cuba, while releasing a report indicating it would prompt a million American visitors in the first year. The legislation and economic projections represent growing pressure to ease the U.S. embargo, starting with unleashing American tourists. ``There's tremendous pent-up demand by the traveling public to go to Cuba,'' said Ed Sanders of the Center for Sustainable Tourism at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Sanders co-authored the report for The Cuba Policy Foundation, an anti-embargo advocacy group....
