Our children's world isn't as dangerous as it's made out to be | McClatchy

I've said this all along. While our parents today coddle, hide and remove any idea of danger from their children it's actually false that kids are in any more danger today than 20 years ago.

Church usher says he saw Roeder put gun to Tiller's head | McClatchy

This is a fairly descriptive account of Dr. George Tiller's cold blooded murder. Point blank, gun to the head execution style... that's raw and cold. I don't want to hear "oh tiller is a murder bla bla bla, he's not a murderer and if you use that term your incorrect.

Wonkette : Birther Gal Goes Nuts On Republican Congressman

Whow dude, this lady is going to Defon 1. I got to ask... is this becoming the right wing base? She "wants her country back" ??? obviously she's a Republican, a Democrat is in the White House 6 months and she wants her country back... what a sore loser.

Think Progress » House GOP website posts video of Rep. Todd Tiahrt suggesting Obama�s mother wanted to abort him.

Think Progress » Rep. Steve King only one to vote against recognizing slave labor�s construction of U.S. Capitol.

What is this guy's major malfunction? I live just across the river from King's district and I can't for the life of me figure out why he gets elected. Western Iowa voters are not into jerks like this but yet they vote him in, I can't figure it out.

President Obama fails to quell gay uproar - Josh Gerstein and Ben Smith - POLITICO.com

I've got to say it, as an Obama supporter I knew the entire time he was traveling the country campaigning that his high and mighty speak on GLBT rights was nothing more than pandering. I have no doubt he wants to change a few things but I'm speaking to you LGBT community...

Supreme Court -- Right-Wing Hate Rears Its Ugly Head

I have no problem at all with Republicans not being happy with Judge Sotomayor or being in disagreement with her position on issues but for god sake stop looking like a party that disagrees with anything that is not white anglo.

As Chavez silences critics, opponents lash back

I remember when Chavez became President a few people I know that blog on not so "big" blogs were just beside themselves with glee because a far left guy is was now in charge. I pointed out, not so fast... this guy is soooo far left he's going to end up ruining the country.

Think Progress » Breaking: Judd Gregg withdraws nomination as Secretary of Commerce.

To me it looks as though there is a lack of focus in the White House. Who's running what here? As an Obama supporter when I see the constant drop outs it leaves me with a feeling that he's not able to control his administration.

Obama Alone Can't Halt the Surge in Black Murders

I live about 50 miles to the West of Omaha, NE. The entire Omaha area is about a half million in population. I'd say that 95% of the homicides in Omaha are black on black and happen in just one area of the city.

Interior Dept. rule allowing guns in national parks may violate White House directive.

Being the flaming liberal that I am, I'm a bit surprised (or maybe not) at my viewpoint in regard to guns in national parks. The article pointed to the National Mall.

Blagojevich to name former Illinois Atty. General Roland Burris as Obama's Senate successor.

I'd have to say that Rod Blagojevich has really got a lot of nerve... or something else... He knows full well this Burris guy is not going to stand a chance at even entering chambers to check the place out. For God's sake Harry Reid says no way.

Think Progress » RNC Candidate Distributes 'Barack The Magic Negro' As His Christmas Greeting

I'd be curious to know how anyone can defend this. How do you defend "negro?" I guess the RNC still does not get it. They say they need to become a more diverse political party, last time I checked calling a black guy a nego probably is not going to further your cause.

As possible Afghan war-crimes evidence removed, U.S. silent

What is it with people in power? It seems to me when people gain power they get this fetish-like need to create mass graves i.e. Hitler and the Bosnia genocide come to mind... now Afghanistan. Interesting, the Bush administration is remaining silent... big surprise.
