Japan Gets Nailed:But nuclear power must still be a power source here in America...we don't suffer that much from the forces of nature that Japan does...& besides, we should build plants away from such danger zones like California....
Obama made right move in Libya:The gut instinct after the rebellion began in Libya was to help the rebels defeat Gadhafi...but exactly who are these guys? if they ended up being like the rebels in 1980s Afghanistan, it might come back to haunt US as they turned out to be Osama bin laden & his gang of nuts....besides...the United States can't keep invading Muslim nations alone....either regional forces have to start carrying some weight, or NATO or the UN.....America needs a break on war;
Gadhafi Should've been taken out years ago:After we discovered Libya (which mean Moammar Gadhafi) was involved in shooting down Pam Am Flight 103, we should've had him killed. He really declared war on America with that act & although Reagan had a missle shot at him, it killed his kid...not the primary target...that was a mistake & we probably didn't do it because he has oil.
Huge SUVs Will Suffer As Gas Hits $4.00:The people who drive these behemoths deserve what they get when they have to shell out $100 to fill up; these things illustrate how sloppy and stupid Americans are about energy...these people never learn.
The Scam of High gas prices:Gas price hikes are a scam & everyone knows it...any global unrest & the first thing that happens is a gas price hike....nobody has even said oil exports have stopped in Libya....this is just an easy way for big oil & futures trading help make bigger profits for the oil companies....& nobody can do anything about it...our only recourse is to get away from foreign oil asap....
Offshore Companies need to be taxed more:there's about $90 billion our government could take in from companies doing business here but registered in some other countries...this scam needs to be taken care of instead of just being some hot-button topic politicians bring up every election cycle but never take on once Congress is in session....

Ft. Hood Texas: That whacked out Muslim, Hasan, is paralyzed from the waist down & has gotten the first of many years of torture for his evil deeds...I still say this guy was unhappy about his own miserable life & used the Islamic Jihadist thing as an excuse...he wanted to die & was left in this retched shape which is a good first start to a life of hell
Bush/ Cheney/ Rumsfeld screw-ups helped bin Laden escape in the Tora Bora mountain area during December, 2001, a new report from the Senate foreign relations committee illustrates but most of us already knew this....Tommy Franks was still in command too so his finger prints are all over this as well...to make matters worse, not only did bin laden escape to fight another day but his win over America made him a hero to many crazed Muslims and he helped resurge his maniacal minions to gain strength in Afghanistan after we blindly detoured into Iraq, which also emboldened Iran to begin Nuke proliferation....that adminstration was a perfect example of failure in motion...& it's now on Obamas plate to clean up....good luck Mr. President
