- Please stop playing the race card. I had hoped that race would become less of an issue, once Obama was elected. Instead, it's become a free for all, as that's all we now hear about. Get over it, already! Many people of all races live peaceful, harmonious lives.

- Nobody is blaming the liberals for the actions of these criminals. What liberals are to blame for, however, are lax and lenient laws. They are too soft and do not want to hold people accountable for their actions.

- If the govt could simply end both wars, which of course they can't, how would that put less strain on our economy? Do you really think they'd spend that money here? Think again. If it were that easy, they could simply halt all financial subsidies to other nations.
