@yabits: You are right, Obama doesn't torture terrorists - he just kills them. It's the Chicago way.

@realist:
Fantastic post! If the man made global warming crowd were as worried about some future environmental catastrophe that they are convinced will come, then they would be pushing their governments for more nuclear energy. Nuclear can produce huge amounts of energy with absolutely no green house gas emissions. Zero. Wind mills, solar panels, and biomass are interesting but nascent technology that are not even close to being economically feasible. Even if they were, they cannot provide the amount of power necessary to run a modern society. But for some reason they are against nuclear power too. The amount of deaths and health problems that have been attributed to nuclear are miniscule compared to fossil fuels even if you include the Fukushima disaster. The global warming scaremongers are primarily concerned with controlling the lives of people that given the choice would not live their lives the way they want them to.
I think that nuclear power has it's place but that fossil fuels remain the future for the next century or more. Just recently huge new discoveries have been made that makes it all but certain that fossil fuels will be around for a long time to come.

America is becoming more like Greece every day. The Socialists will hit the streets and demand that the government give them more; which of course would put the country ever more in debt and create permanently high unemployment and drive businessws away. 50% of Americans are already getting a check from the government every month. How many more handouts can the half of the nations taxpayers provide to the half that pay nothing?
Let's just hope that there are enough sane people left in the US to pull the country back from the brink of collapse. I do not begrudge these "protestors" the right to cause a ruckus. But they are protesting the wrong street. They should try protesting on Pennsylvania Avenue instead. They are the ones that created the mess in the first place.

President Obama happily joined in to bailout big banks at the beginning of his term. It is a fact that TARP didn't end the day that Bush left office. Go back and read the news accounts about how the Obama administration also gave out billions to Wall Street. No one should be surprised - the banks were big Obama supporters during his election campaign.
Both parties are responsible for the mess because both parties like to use the power of government to give out goodies to special interests that support them (ie. Mr. Kaiser and Solyndra). This kind of corruption will continue until government is prevented from using it's power to regulate and tax in a manner that plays favorites. A flat tax with no exemptions would be a good start. When special interests are prevented from using lobbyist to get tax breaks, their will be a lot less opportunities for politicians to sell themselves to the highest bidder.

@paulinusa:
Apparently you responded to the first part of my comments without reading through to the end. If you had, you would know that I stated...
My point is to say that "adults" do not need the government telling them what legal products they can or cannot consume. Although Liberals like to push the boundaries down, I do believe that the government has a duty to regulate products to ensure that those that the community has not yet deemed capable of making informed decisions on their own are not put into a position where they can.

Actually, conservatives are making the point that it is the media and the Democrat party that are making this about allegiance rather than principles. President Obama has continued most of former President Bush's terrorists policies and instead of the media continuing to blast the policies that Bush/Obama have pursued for the past 10 years, there is either little criticism or silence. Democrats and the media have clearly been biting their tongue's and bending on principles to support Obama regardless of his continuation of Bush Guantanamo detention policy and the stepped up drone offensive.
Remember when Guantanamo was such a big deal? Well, it's still around and no one talks about Obama's failure to close it down. There are rarely any stories about the treatment of prisoners and no more fake stories like the supposed desecration of the Koran. By approving the drone kills, Obama has officially endorsed Bush's anti-terror policy and has one upped him by killing two American citizens to boot. How can anyone criticize water-boarding and stay silent about an execution? Well for Democrats, it is apparently rather easy for to put aside their principles in order to 'stand by their man'. That is what they teach in the ivory towers of Berkley? It is Norm Chomskys' pursuit of political ends by any means necessary.
Make no mistake, conservatives approve of President Obama's killing of Bin Laden, Al-Awkaki, and Khan. They are sworn enemies of America and have facilitated the murder of thousands of Americans and countless Muslims. Just don't try pulling that moral superiority act anymore due to the desire for civilian trials and shutting down Gitmo, etc. No one is buying that line anymore.

Wendy's is much better than McDonald's; for a chain restaurant, they make a good burger. They should definitely return to the Japanese market for good this time.

So is President Obama still standing by and watching the slaughter? I suppose he values the lives of Libyans more than those of Syrians.

Daddy government has to tell the little citizens what they can and cannot have because "they" know what is best for them. As-long-as the vending machines are where minors cannot use them, there is no reason for them to be banned. Is Britain no longer a country where freedom is important to it's citizens?

No Madverts, it doesn't pain me at all to credit President Obama for his aggressive drone program. It is one of the few things that he has been clear about since his campaign and throughout his time in office that has been prescient about in an otherwise naive and amateurish presidency. A presidents job is simply to make decisions. Therefore, the actual credit goes to those in the military that carried out the mission successfully. Truthfully, this decision and the one for Bin Laden were not very hard decision to make at all. For this kind of thing, the only bad decision is the one that fails (as in Carter's Iranian hostage rescue fiasco). Never-the-less, the killing of two US citizens like this without due process does make a mockery of his stand on terrorist detainees. Again, if former President Bush had done this, the response from the Left would be quite different than the near total silence now.

I agree with Obama's hit on these two American 'enemy combatants' but it says a lot about President Obama's incoherent policy when it comes to the fight against Islamic terrorists. Obama has been trying to force the use of US civilian trials for foreign enemy combatants as a way to get rid of the hated Guantanemo Bay detention center. He wrongly believes they have rights that need to be protected and so pledged as his first act as president to close Gitmo - which of course he has failed to do. He also believes that he cannot capture anymore terrorists because he doesn't want to send anyone to Gitmo. Therefore, he forgoes their rights and kills them. We all know Bin Laden could have been captured but he didn't want to send him to Cuba - so he ordered him killed. Even better, why put yourself in the situation when you might be tempted to torture a terrorist when you can just kill him and be done with it.
It goes without saying that if Bush had ordered the assassination of bin Laden and two American citizens that the press would be in full outrage over it. Nancy Pelosi would be running before every camera to denounce him. But since it's Obama these perceived sins are tolerated for what is in their eyes, the 'greater good.'
Obama's anti-terror policies didn't make much sense when he first began to express them on the campaign trail and when he began implementing them as president nearly three years ago. They make even less sense now.
I congratulate Obama for putting aside his own screwy thinking and getting the job done in Yemen. After all, with his poll numbers at record lows, he could use the boost before next years election.

I find it fascinating how death penalty opponents - predominately Liberals - are so frequently supporters of abortion. Proponents of the death penalty are at least rational. If you commit the heinous crime of murder, you will be subject to a penalty that is commensurate to the crime. Liberals on the other hand, oppose the ending of the life of a convicted murderer even when found guilty and after having been given decades and millions of dollars worth of legal protections. These same people feel no guilt what-so-ever about partially birthing a baby and then shoving scissors in the back of his/her head. No trial, no legal protections. So save your moralizing about guilt and innocence, morality and values. Troy Davis got his two decades in the court system. Even the Liberals on the Supreme Court rejected his appeal. The death penalty isn't about revenge. If it were about revenge the killers would be put to death in the most vicious manner possible. Perhaps by having a pair of scissors shoved into the back of their head.

@SuperCross1985:
I have to agree with SuperCross on this - why all the negativity about these pop singers? They are just entertainers. It is evident that many folks on JT have a real dislike for them (plasticmonkey in particular based on the number of his comments) . This is "pop" music - it isn't Mozart - and they plainly are not trying to be. Take it for what it is or stop wasting your time with it. Better yet, put a copy of all of the music you like on your digital music player and get over it already.

@Laguna:
For the record, the filibuster did not apply to the Democrat controlled Congress for the first nearly two years of President Obama's presidency. Democrats controlled the House and 60 seats in the Senate which made the filibuster moot. The problem was that members of his own party opposed parts of President Obama's agenda which made it possible for the filibuster to be an effective strategy for Republicans to thwart small pieces of Obama's European socialist agenda.
Likeability is a well known political asset that has helped many flawed politicians succeed. However, there is a tipping point in which likeability no longer will assure a successful election outcome. For President Obama, it is his failure to improve the economic prospects of his voters since he assumed office during a very difficult time. Reagan succeeded under similar circumstances in his first term which led to his landslide re-election. Obama can still win re-election, but not as long as the unemployment rate remains over 8% - the rate he said the unemployment rate would not exceed if his huge and costly stimulus program was passed through Congress.

Mr. Cain is a strong conservative that believes people should be responsible and treated based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Oh, and he is a black man.
So much for the Democrat and main stream medias idea that Conservatives and the Tea Party are racist. In fact, the opposite is the case. Liberals are blinded by their race consciousness to the detriment of race relations in America. Playing the race card will be a huge strategy for the Democrat party next year in order to rev up their race baiting base. President Obama will use the NAACP to gin up votes from the black community by scarring blacks into believing that blacks will be lynched again if a Republican becomes president. By the way, a white governor allowed the execution of the white man that killed James Byrd in the dragging death in Texas just a few days ago. Republicans have gotten past their race consciousness, it's time that Democrats and the main stream media do the same.
