  • Kentucky Christian mini-caliphate still denying Gay Marriage Licenses in Name of God
    • Max-1 09/02/2015 at 3:56 pm

      Under whose authority?
      ... God's.

      Then get him on the phone...

  • Obama, 19 World Leaders tout Climate Danger at Alaska Summit, Ignore Fuel Extraction
    • Max-1 09/02/2015 at 4:00 pm

      The only way the Arctic is drill-able is because of all the man made pollution from fossil fuels... So, what kind of person thinks they care about global climate change and the human causes when they sigh away rights to drill for more oil in the Arctic.

      Obama, the hypocrite in Chief.

  • How Black Lives Matter is making Bernie Sanders a better candidate
    • Max-1 08/18/2015 at 10:40 pm

      Oh, and a side note...
      The day the Black Lives Matter movement protests and storm Obama's stage is the moment that Black Lives will Matter!

      Yes, I was so privileged to be in the audience when I was judged by the color of my skin and called a WHITE RACIST PROGRESSIVE...
      ... Instead of getting to know the character of my being.

      IS THAT HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND THIS OUTBURST?

  • Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman Suggests Decapitation for Disloyal Arabs
    • Max-1 03/10/2015 at 4:07 am

      How very ISIS of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

      Video gamers guilt, perhaps?
      Knowing that it really isn't a video game but you actually killing people who don't respawn must get to you at some point...

  • The Lone-Wolf Terror Trap: Why the Cure Will Be Worse Than the Disease
    • Max-1 02/06/2015 at 8:48 pm

      This reminds me of a picture I saw ten-twelve years ago that went:
      EVERYDAY is CODE ORANGE
      Because someone, somewhere, somehow, and in someway might try to kill you!
      = = =
      I just never thought it would be agents from my Government setting us up!

  • Bobby Jindal Gets Called Out for Muslim “No-Go Zones"
    • Max-1 01/21/2015 at 7:01 pm

      When a man is lead around by his bigotry setting his agenda...
      ... Bobby Jindal isn't far away heard, "No-GO zones".

  • Guns: Americans more likely to be Shot by Toddler than by Terrorist
    • Max-1 01/13/2015 at 2:56 am

      Where is that war on toddler terrorists?

  • Yes, they're Condemning the Paris Attacks: The Muslims' War on Terror
    • Max-1 01/13/2015 at 3:32 am

      Hello Steve Hynd,
      I've been saying the same thing too.

      These terrorists know they're 'radical' in their so called belief to begin with. I think they're attempting to get people to defame Islam altogether so as to legitimize their 'radical' belief as true Islam, when we all know that it is not. This is how they do more damage to Islam and the press in the West do a good job at publicising it for the terrorists... With guests at FOXNews suggesting threats of elimination of Muslims; to their CEO suggesting at least hold all Muslims responsible; to the various repetitions of said meme across other platforms and affiliations and now it's in our lexicon; "Muslim terrorists" to "Islamic Jihadists" etc. But, because as we all know that none of that is what True Islam is about, why do we keep repeating the lie by calling it such, Muslim Terrorism?

      These terrorists are just that. Terrorists first and foremost.
      I mean, we don't regularly associate other religions with other criminal acts, do we? Even the Norwegian terror attack by Brevick wasn't eventually labeled a Christian Terrorist act and no war was ever declared because of it...

      Sorry to spend your ears, so to say.

  • "President Authorized Torture Techniques": Cheney and Rove throw Bush under the Bus
    • Max-1 12/18/2014 at 5:20 pm

      "I'd do it again." ~ Dick Cheney
      That is an admission of guilt.

  • Are US Drone Strikes in Pakistan War Crimes? Only 12% of those Killed are Known Militants
    • Max-1 10/25/2014 at 6:34 pm

      Mr. Cole, you know better...
      ... It's never war crimes when America commits them.

  • Why Can Europe have Climate Targets but not the US? Corruption
    • Max-1 10/25/2014 at 6:50 pm

      Maybe when DC is flooded 400x's per year, they'll start paying attention.

  • Wiping another Country off the Map: Israel does it to Palestine
    • Max-1 08/01/2014 at 2:58 am

      Now, now, now Mr. Cole...
      We all know it's never when Israel does it!

  • Real-Life House of Cards: DOJ says President is Judge Jury & Executioner
    • Max-1 07/25/2014 at 1:23 am

      Mr. Cole,
      How can it be called "America" in a 'Post Constitutional Age'?

  • The Fall of Mosul and the False Promises of Modern History
    • Max-1 06/12/2014 at 7:16 am

      There are so many interconnected threads here. The fabric of history is dense. I wonder how many of our “leaders” know, or care, about such matters.
      = = =
      I would say that most of our "leaders" have woven this fabric.

    • Max-1 06/12/2014 at 7:10 am

      And Hillary may get to deal with this latest blowback of her vote.
      ... If this carries on into 2016, it may prove pivotal to her campaign.

      Just sayin'.

  • Wind Turbines don't decline in Efficiency for 25 Years, contrary to Myth
    • Max-1 02/22/2014 at 7:50 pm

      Juan,
      I have long held the statement: I have yet to see a wind farm, solar array or thermal power plant poison our land, sea or air like we are witness to coal, oil/gas, nuclear every day.

      I guess when we weigh a Gulf BP accident or a Fukushima meltdown, a broken rotary is far, FAR less costly in the end.
