These people are actually comparing a human fetus to deadly cancer cells.
I wish we could find all of these people and sterilize them. They do not deserve to be parents. I find it very disturbing that many of them have children.

The news article on Yahoo! brings up a very interesting point about women's rights - with the development of American society, is it necessary for the ERA to be included in the Constitution? Why?

Liberals only represent 7% of the military according to the ultra-Liberal "Military Times". Why are only Republican kids fighting this war while you lazy, do-nothing, cowardly, armchair subversives sit on Yahoo all day like a bunch of losers?

Get in the game.

We drove out Saddam, he's dead. If there ever were any WMD's they don't have them anymore. So isn't that winning the war?

Why do people consider leaving a loss to life liberty and American values? We eventually left France, Germany and Japan (Although we have a base there.)

So what if we leave and they have a civil war, we had our wars on American soil, civil and Revolutionary war. Would you want someone to stop those conflicts? What if France stopped our "Terrorist Fanatics" i.e. the founding fathers.

Why can't we let other countries sort their own identity out? There is no way we could actually "make" them be a democracy like ours. They could start out that way and take a left or right at any time.

So what is the point of all this? They will weed out undesirables if they want them out. Or like now, they'll allow them to be in their country. Obviously someone wants them there.

What's the point of all this when nobody knows how they will act the day after we leave.

I think it's an excellent idea you always want to work with your enemies. I don't know why the white house feels this is a bad idea. Syria might be friends with terrorists but we need to educate and talk to our enemies.

Libertarianism: What it isn't

Libertarianism: What it isn't

Re "What's not to like about Libertarianism?" Current, March 25

Ayn Rand did not write novels of "uncompromising libertarianism." In her view, libertarianism has no philosophy to uphold uncompromisingly. Libertarianism rejects the need for a consistent, objective, philosophic defense of liberty and regards politics as primary. Rand was a defender of reason and recognized that political freedom requires a philosophy of reason and egoism. That is why Rand repeatedly condemned the libertarian movement, regarding herself, instead, as a "radical for capitalism." For further explanation, see Rand's novel of uncompromising objectivist, not libertarian, ideas--"Atlas Shrugged"--celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

I believe that all Americans harbor a debt for the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Freedom was paid for in the blood of the patriots that won our freedom, the blood of those who fought on foreign soil to prevent the spread of tyranny in its many forms. Our freedoms where gained through bravery and protected by those who have a sense of duty. Many belive that this country, this government owes them something - they are wrong. Those who feel that the government owes them something take all we have for granted.

What have you done to repay this debt? Do you sit back and recieve the freedom welfare check?

Some cops seem to get off on the power they have and treat people like crap. I've had cops stop me and call me an ex-con, give me grief for nothing and make threats just because of my record and have seen them go over the top with others for just querying them.

I know I've been in trouble and they have a job to do but sometimes they just end up making you hate them more.

Have dealt with some alright ones too but not usually.
