    Almost everything that the Dems. are trying to push through the majority of the American public does not want. Do they think they are gods and we will just bow before them and take it up the rear end?

  • Should David Letterman apologize to Ms. Palin and her Daughter for his comments?

    It seems like the Dem. supporters can say whatever they want about the Reps. But let one Rep. supporter say something and they are thrown under the bus.

  • Do fellow LEO's work extra jobs to make ends meet?

    I was just wondering if officers in other states feel the need to work extra jobs to pay their bills and have some money set aside to for rainy days. Or are your salaries enough not to have to worry about. Here in Texas, most agencies pay fairly well but the officers still have to work extra jobs. I know some of them are tying to live above their means. Just looking for a little feedback. Thanks in advance.

  • Is there such a thing as reverse racism?

    Call me a racist, I don't care. Why can a black or hispanic person get welfare ie. food stamps, medicaid easier than a white person? Walk into any DHS ofice and see how many blacks and hispanics are in there. Hardly any whites. Why? I am sick and tired of blacks thinking we white people owe them something. They seem to always be looking for a Govt. handout. And they ussually get it. I feel things will only get worse because of the Pres.-elect. Like I said call me a racist I could care less because I know this is true.

  • Should Texas cecede from the Union?

    Texas is the only State that can legally leave the union. Texas should leave and show the union that the union needs Texas not Texas needs the union. Texas is the only state that can wave its flag at or above the height of the US flag. Texas was not annexed. It joined the union under a treaty. Texas would be better off as its own country.

  • Why pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan?

    It's a good thing this country was not led by the people of today back during WW2 because they would of wanted to pull out of Europe and Japan because there were a few thousand soldiers killed in one day (D-Day) If the us had the same mindset then as now HALF the country would be speaking German and the other half Japanese. Wake up people and stay the course.
