We all owe a debt, mostly ignored, to our veterans. These are the people who stood guard for us, fought and died for us. Thank you veterans and may GOD bless you for your service!

The voting public has been so divided and herded into special interest groups that we no longer recognize what is best for the country as a whole.

Score: 509

The LEGISLATIVE branch, i.e. Congress, makes laws, regulates business--the Prez can only enforce these. Get on your Do-Nothing Congressmen if you want to avoid a tax increase, Soc. Security or VA cuts.

Score: 366

It's amusing to hear and read the negative comments concerning businesses and the wealthy. Just one question: When was the last time a "poor person" gave someone a job?

Score: 279

Is the difference between NEEDS and Wants taught in school. If not, it should be to prepare and train our children for smart financial decisions.

Score: 221

I sincerely hope you are right, but I am very, very afraid Obama will continue to move BACKWARDS as usual.

Score: 216

The folks who say they're moving each election year will be here in 2016. They always stay and say the same thing.

Score: 214

Mr. President, you only won by a little over 2 million votes. To me, that is not a clear cut victory. There were alot of people who voted against you.

Score: 209

I have lost all respect for Colin Powell, Obama did not save the auto industry. We tax payers payed for the new plants in Russia & China so guess who benefited.

DeKalb County offered free document shredding on this past Saturday. I dreaded going assuming a long line of cars and total confusion in the unloading/shredding process, etc. Was I WRONG! This was the most organized and pleasing experience you could imagine. Thank you DeKalb for a job well done.

It's really time for a consumption tax. Necessities not included, people who buy more, pay more in taxes.

Score: 163

Waste in government is exaggerated by those who want to kill reasonable government; there is waste in private companies also, usually at the top, but when it gets too bad, the workers at the bottom take the punishment. Remember where the bottleneck is on a bottle!

Score: 87

Mr. Obama has a beautiful family. Pretty wife and 2 beautiful daughters. However I wasn't enamored with him like millions of others were. People are just to lazy to look into education, background, and experience. We'll see what the next 4 years bring us.

Score: 82

So you think the answer to 8 years of a Bush disaster is 8 years of an Obama disaster? Two wrongs do NOT make a right.

Score: 80

What a shame that one Presidential campaign lied to everyone about what they had and had not done; and the other one lied to everyone about their capability. The only true losers were the American people; and for generations to come.

Score: 64

Any sport is not worth watching without a skillful and impartial referee and consistent rules. The "free" market ceases to be free when those who were first to succeed can rig the game to stay on top, and do so by squeezing the hard working folks. Like letting the Super Bowl winner rig the referees and the rules the next season; they CAN'T LOSE! EVER AGAIN!

Score: 33

Is the Trump tirade and rant an embarrassment or what? He's even claiming NeNe who was famous before his Show.

Score: 9

When it came to the business of politics, Romney sure was lousy.

Government preparation for disasters is not new. Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of his FEMA to store grain for the famine years. And surely there were farmers who resented being taxed, especially by an official who was not a "native born Egyptian."

Usher's intention wasn't to be diva-like but rather to prevent a celebrity distraction. Vote early next time if you're a star.

Score: -24

Why is it that if it's "old white men" Republicans say they " PAID INTO" it but for Democrats, who have also paid into these benefits, it's an "entitlement"?

Georgia Aquarium is a prison. Free the belugas!

Score: -33

For the Republicans who have turned America into a religious war: Democrats and "liberals" are just as religious as you. They just don't want to make America a fanatical Christian country on the order of Iran's fanatical Muslim country.

Score: -45

Hatred in this country has no boundaries when you want to assassinate the president because of his color.

Score: -60

If you can't beat them, join them and make it work for all of us. People proud of their stickers are being fired left, right and center nationwide.

"So the new majority is composed of takers?" How cute to degenerate people who have been paying their "fair share" for 30+ years! Oh did I mention they even offered their life to the country? Your HATE slip is showing.

Score: -72

The American "majority" has spoken. And according to the U.S. constitution, the majority wins. If you claim to support our Constitution, then quit your belly achin' and get used to it. It's the law of the land.

Dear Justice Sears, I think I do live in a state of Honey Boo Boos when the Charter School amendment and the Republican Supermajority are realities.
