Even conservative pundit George Will and Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel--agreed that the whole thing was absurd. "What is the signal we're supposed to get from the flag?" asked Will. "It is either that I'm patriotic, and we take that for granted in this country, or that everybody who isn't wearing it isn't patriotic, and that's disgusting."

On ABC World News with Charles Gibson (10/4/07), the anchor opened a report: "Candidates face so much scrutiny these days. And it's not just their position papers and stump speeches that are fair game. Case in point: something of a controversy that has erupted involving Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and a lapel pin."

Actually, if candidates' "position papers and stump speeches" did receive serious and probing attention from the press, attention spent on frivolous issues like Obama's missing pin wouldn't be so distressing.

Since Clinton shrank the government, and balanced the budget, why didn't conservatives ever give him a chance, prior to his perjury?

Anyone with the most basic of knowledge of the region knew how preposterous that conspiracy theory sounds.

Why did the far right fall such an outlandish conspiracy theory?

Libs like it, but Repo's call it welfare. If we give $5,000 to every pregnant woman in a secured account, only to be accessed by the child upon its retirement, and call it a tax break for the unborn, would Republicans agree to it, or change their minds on abortion?

One company i know, changed the date of the non-working day in their company due to "employees request". Is this possible? The company is a 6days a week work schedule and Friday was the holiday, they moved the holiday to Saturday. Furthermore, employees there work for half day on Saturday but since they moved the holiday to Saturday, they have to report the whole day on Friday without the premium.

The only way to fix our government is too stop putting the same people in the offices !

Our country can not afford to stay on the Bush/Clinton cycle.

Put aside the partisanship stuff , and lets change our country back to what it was meant to be !

On the O'Reilly Factor, he said illegal Mexicans should build the wall to block them from entering again, and then Americans force them over the wall back to Mexico. Do you agree with Dennis Miller. By the way, O'Reilly got a good laugh out of it, like I did. It makes total sense to me!

How can America allow our troops to be treated as if they are criminals? Did you know that there are restaurants who will not serve the military because they don't support the war. There are Americans who will spit on AMERICAN soldiers just cause they don't like what is going on in Iraq. Is it just me who is ashamed to hear of such things?

Most of the mothers getting abortions are usually lower class. if they have the baby, the mother who has not enough income can abuse the welfare system, taking thousands of dollars in taxpayers money. the baby could be unloved and therefore more likely to become a violent criminal causing much more harm than if the child wasnt born in the first place.

China has been buying Russian fighter planes, submarines, and warships. The Chinese military has about 2000 tanks and possess nuclear weapons. Type 094 nuclear submarine was launched in 2004 equipped with JL-2 nuclear missile (range 8000 km) capable of striking the east coast of the US. Currently, China is planning to build a aircraft carrier and is developing the J-XX stealth fighter which is comparable to the F-22 and said to be superior to the F-35. If Taiwan leaders declare independence from China, the the PLA military would use military force against a democratic Taiwan. Then the US would go to war to defend Taiwan against a larger Chinese army with over 2,000 tanks. well, the US military could use its navy to block Chinese warships from entering Taiwan, but it will be too late. In addtion to warships, China has Russian designed missiles capable to striking Us warships. These missiles can reachmach 2.5 speed and hit Us aegis warships and carrier groups.
