I don't know how many of you have children, but if you did you would know that the answer is not a matter of "gay or straight," but rather whether or not you know the "babysitter" well enough to trust her/him. My wife and I have two daughters. One of my wife's sisters is gay. My daughters spend...

Brandon Judd, Border Patrol Agent and President of Local 2544, the Tucson branch of the National Border Patrol Council -- his comments on illegal immigration: “And to the millions of potential immigrants who are doing things the right way and waiting in line, this is what you get for...

Excellent article by Turley: http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/03/25/nixon-has-won-watergate/2019443/ Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley: "Obama has not only openly asserted powers that were the grounds for Nixon's impeachment, but he has made many love him for it. More than...

One of my neighbors is from Poland. He was a young boy when he watched the Nazis march into Warsaw and slaughter hundreds of innocent men, women and children in the street. He once told me, "It's easy to spot the extremists. They're the ones trying to silence everyone who disagrees with them."

Amazing! Two people with diametrically opposed views had a civilized debate in which there was no name-calling, threats or wild accusations. What's really amazing is that neither man, directly or indirectly, accused the other of being a racist. I didn't think it was possible,.

Good trading boils down to understanding market context. Different traders do this in different ways. Every successful trader I've met believes that understanding market context is central to his/her strategy, whether it's a "system" or "freewheeling."

This has been the democrats plan along -- bankrupt the health insurance companies and then have the government step in and nationalize the entire system.

Australia used to be more leftist than the US. Not anymore. They're ranked third in the world for financial freedom. The US is ranked number twelve. http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking My wife has maintained her Australian citizenship and we've traveled there many times, including a month...

Precaution for what? The man was pulled over for no reason -- no probable cause. He should sue and do everything he can to get the cop fired. When someone legally owns a gun or legally carries a gun that means they're obeying guns laws, not breaking them. The fact that cops get away with this...

For that amount of money, you could probably do better. But it wasn't a rip off. My wife and I had a good time and so did the kids. I've found that the best deals can usually be made when renting a house, especially when kids are involved. This past summer we rented a beautiful 4-bedroom...
