LED TV is great. Not sure if we need to subsidize the industry, but maybe some motivation is not too bad. If NASA did it, would cost 10 billion probably. Expensive toys came from NASA, although I am a fan of the Space program. c

Wrong thread I know, but the word conspiracy comes up, I can't keep from thinking how great a futurist or prognosticator his parents must have been to put together all this birth certificate hoax nearly 50 years ago. Has anyone ever explained how they did that, or really, why they did it way...

Mr. Santorum has made several gaffe's - this is one of the weirdest ones. To say that our long history of great education, esteemed Universities, best in the world, where Princes and leaders from around the world have studied, is somehow some conspiracy to educate leftists? I guess Reagan and...

+1 - yep, that pretty much sums it up. The proverbial slippery slope. More like an inquisition if you see gov't sticking needles into our bodies or taking urine samples. I don't do drugs either, but I like a drink now and then, are they going to test me for booze if I want to enter the...

Understand that I'm not advocating or condoning any of this behavior. Some people 'need' help, some just cheat on their taxes so they don't need help. And they are no better than those who receive aid, just a different mind set. c

How much is wasted on tax cheats? How many do an 'offer in compromise?' - cheating people are not limited to a single socio-economic group, IMO. c

Health care is one thing. I'm upset at Obama because he didn't go far enough IMO. This went from health care to health insurance company care, wasted time and effort, even if started with good intentions. Santorum will sink because of his extreme ideas. Even my most staunch Rep friends are...

If they are healthy and working and making money, they wouldn't need government services, right? They wouldn't be as poor, that's what we want, right? Just thought I would think that one through. c

Yes, another great point. Thanks. c

Exactly my point, thank you Mr. L. c

I don't mean to be insensitive to my many friends who live in Israel, mostly in Old City part of Jerusalem. I personally hate all the Middle East turbulence, since I learned about it in about 1964. I just feel a little like I did about the WMD's in Iraq, just not sure if there is a threat...

No response to the above? Maybe too personal, sorry if it was, I was just sincerely curious. c

I'm not too worried about Iran bombing the US, or even Israel for that matter, at least not now. And, yes, both sides have to agree to stop a thermonuclear war. If we can stop ourselves and the saber rattling, perhaps they will too. Did you see the 60 minutes piece on Stoxhaus computer...

As in 'War Games' movie from long ago. 'The only way to win, is to not play.' Mathew Broderick movie. c

I don't see it as a punishment for success. I've been very, very fortunate in most things in my life. I do my best to keep the open mind from all earnings groups, see how the 'other side' may see things differently. I pay a lot of taxes, of course I would like to pay less, and some of the...

Man, just ordered a sourdough burger, not sure I can eat it now, yuk. Is this for real? c

Approve the darn pipeline, now. No more delays. I'm with you guys on this, as I've said before. Come on Mr. President, just do it with your Nike's on. c

Thank you for that. I really doubt this gentleman would actually grab a gun, but it's that type of rhetoric that ignites others of less sanity to do horrible things. I'll give Mr. Achilles a pass, of course. Since I've been semi retired, just trading for myself, no longer for my banking...

See above, the quote is his, not mine nor made up. The anti-Obama folks are so afraid of the Obama caricature that they don't even think we can survive under his leadership. Ok, fine, discuss his plans, whatever, but the President is still the President. I hated Bush's wars, but never hated...

yeah, a 'stretch' to say A bullet between the eyes. Or one in the back of the head? come on man, you do read what you write, right? Just quoting you my friend. c
