I liked listening to those two Marines for the fact that they had come to see more of what is going on than most of us have. They agreed that the US is not protecting the people of our nation with out military but trying to enforce what we want done on those other people. I don't know the answer but I do agree with their thoughts about what our military is doing, like in Afghanistan. One of them said getting rid of rulers who don't agree with us is what it amounts to. Also, both of them mentioned the fact that it tends to be the people who have come to control our government and also tend to stay in power, one way or another.

It is too bad that many here won't take the time to hear this one out.

I found the guy doing the interview extremely annoying. When he started talking about Abu Graib I nearly broke my false teeth--both plates.

Yes John there is a lot of physical difference. Both are intended to cause greater damage than a full metal jacked bullet would. The dumb-dumb bullet is a bullet that has had the nose cut off to create a large flat surface. On rifle bullets they litterly, for lack of a better word, blow up. Hollow point bullets are a modern design that is engineered to preform in a certain manner and retain as much weight as possible. Thus dumping energy quickly while penetrating to a desired depth.


I was speaking of intent, not the technical differences, but I do see what you mean. Hollow points are much more effective at accomplishing the intent that the old Dum Dum rounds were.

I agree that Obama is serious about gun control, or more appropriately gun confiscation and making gun ownership illegal, but Congress is not. Congresscritters know that is a losing proposition and will not pass such a law. What they will do are two or three things, some of which have already been proposed. First, they will impose excessive taxes on guns and ammo.

Second, they may require gun owners to purchase insurance policies (to the benefit of insurance companies). Third, and this is the most important, they will remove the restrictions that prevent people from suing gun and ammo manufacturers for damages caused by guns and ammo. This will initially benefit the trial lawyers like John Edwards and eventually benefit the government when, just like with the tobacco companies, a Master Settlement Agreement is reached. The MSA will involve huge payments to the government in exchange for re-establishing the lawsuit restrictions.

I am certain that any such measures will wind up in court with complaints that they are infringements on the Second Amendment. Whether or not a future Supreme Court will agree that they are is an open question. There is language in the current Senate bill that makes the attempt to start a national register of firearms and firearm owners. This, ostensibly, is being put in place to enforce the laws requiring background checks, even for private sales or even a situation in which you give your firearm to a descendant. I am hoping that the House will see through this ploy and reject the legislation.

Any soldier who follows an illegal order is just as guilty as his superior giving the order. All soldiers have the duty to refuse to carry out an illegal order. Not a right, a duty.

Yes! Drones are a problem for everyone, especially We the People, but not for some of the reasons stated in this video hit piece. I grow tired of hearing about our "decaying infrastructure" and our "ineffectual social programs." We have spent tons of money on both with no visible consequences. Why should anyone want to spend more money on them?

It is absolutely not a valid assumption. Everybody who works and earns less than 130% of the poverty limit is eligible for food stamps (SNAP) and most who are eligible are collecting. For examle, a single mother of 2 earning less than $25K is eligible.

Having said that, I agree that the employment situation is at least as bad as it was during the depression. There was a story on Drudge today about a McDonalds in MA that has an opening for a cashier and the requirement is 2 years experience plus a bachelors degree! For McDonalds!!

At least we can agree that unemployment is exceptionally high. I did not realize that you could make as much money and still get food stamps as people do.

I don't quite understand your statement about people over 40. I agree the situation is bad for them but it seems to me it's bad for everybody. In fact, if you need to be employed already in NY to get another job, wouldn't it be worse for those just entering the job market?

If you are over forty and looking for non-executive position, about the only job you can find is as a Walmart greeter or some other such low paying low responsibility job.

Meanwhile, of course, Obama is doing everything he can to prevent new private-sector jobs and eliminate existing ones. Obamacare alone is responsible for millions of job losses (and it would be worse if everybody that supported it hadn't received a waiver from it) and the EPA is shutting down entire industries. What I'd like to see is every coal-fired power plant in the country shut down for about a week - let the public see the results of what Obama and the greenies want.

This is an instance where we should not let a nasty man made crisis go to waste. The public should at least learn something from it. Now, what will the Republicans do with their opportunity? Will they blow it the way they did the last time? It is the way to bet, you know.

Other agencies are also involved, NOAA recently implemented new commercial fishing regulations for New England which will bankrupt all the smaller commercial fishing concerns. Of course, that's just the Obama way, I'm sure some large corporation that donated heavily to Obama lobbied for these new regs so that they will be the only ones who can afford to comply. Why compete on a level playing field when you can use Chicago thuggery to eliminate all the competition?


Well, let's see. Put yourself in the position of a large cannery that owns a fleet. You know that harsh regulations are on the way. What would you do as the CEO of such a cannery? The nasty thing about rampant thuggery is that it is difficult to separate the goats from the sheep. I am surprised that we do not have some sort of Wyatt's Torch to look at. President Obama is certainly doing his best to behead the oil industry, isn't he?

And what's Obama doing? He's diverting attention to gun control and immigration. Did you see today that the AP has banned the use of the term "i*****l i*******t"? Leno suggested they should now be called "undocumented Democrats".

I believe that President Obama is as serious as a heart attack about gun control. Letting him get away with something like that would be our worst possible mistake and I think that he knows it. I did notice that the AP has changed its style book and is forbidding their writers and reporters to use the term i*****l i*******t. They are doing their absolute best to make it difficult to address the issue and hamper communications concerning immigration with the public.

President Obama means business with immigration as well. He is not joking about it. He is one of those tyrants that tells you exactly what he is going to do to you. One need merely to pay attention to what he says. He lays it out in a speech well prior to acting on it. He has done this from day one. Remember what he did during his first run for the presidency? He invoked the legendary status of Cesar Chavez with, Si se puede! Chavez of course led many demonstrations against i*****l i*********n. The i******s were taking all the farm jobs away from his union. I can still remember the kerfluffle over the La Casita Farms incident.

I do wonder if Obama will talk the Senate into ratifying that treaty. I wonder if Obama knows that if we did ratify it it may do much more harm to the nation than if we didn't. See, if we ratify that tiny country dictator approved thing there is a good chance that our manufacturers of guns won't be able to make it any more. Of course, the thing that has been ignored by fools who think this thing is what I say it is would be the fact that so many of our semi-automatic hand guns are manufactured in Europe. That would be the so popular Glocks and Sig Saurs. We couldn't import any more of them but then Smith & Wesson wouldn't mind that.

I don't think that there is a real chance of that happening. President Obama would like to do such a thing i'm sure, but Herri Reid is not his man anymore. They split over this gun control nonsense.

he maybe young but dont underestimate his military intelligence.


You have a point. I do not believe that young Mister Kim would be making this kind of racket unless he has a real surprise up his sleeve. The moves we have made so far cannot have surprised him or his military leaders. April 15, his grandfather's birthday, is coming up soon. If he has a surprise in store for us, I think that is the day he will spring it on us.

This makes me nervous for only two reasons. We check a mere 2% of the shipping containers coming into this country. The DPRK has recently admitted to having a program to enrich uranium. Uranium based bombs are far less detectable than weapons built around plutonium. Three feet of sand is sufficient to completely muffle the radioactive signature of a U235 based weapon. Such a monstrosity could be delivered in a shipping container to virtually any city in the United States. Our lax security may have already allowed this to happen. We made the mistake of focusing all out efforts on the airports and not the seaports.

If we survive this unscathed, and I must admit we could well do such a thing, we will still need to focus more of our efforts on those damnable shipping containers coming into the country by the millions each and every day.

You can make all of the excuses you want about Republican states receiving more federal money than Democratic states, but end result is that is is true. When Superstorm Sandy struck the eastcoast, it was the small government man, NJ Gov. Chris Christie who went to the WH to get $90 billion for his state. That is when big government comes in handy.

Roe vs Wade was ruled a woman's constitutional right to choose. It was ruled constitutional by the SCOTUS in 1973 under Richard Nixon. SCOTUS consists of Republican judges and Democratic judges. It has been active for 40 years, it survived under Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. And now it is under attack.

Republicans just want to see women back in the kitchen, b****s back in the back of the bus and immigrants back on their side of the border. Sometimes things just do not work out the way you want to.
