I am against red light cameras because they contribute to accidents and absurd fines, which is taxation by our lazy government. Next year the government will further their lack of discretion by proposing that red light violators be tracked by satellite to their home for culpability confirmation, ticket-point issuance and search of your home. Stand up for your rights and red-light our unreasonable government. Most everyone I speak to convey their concerns about our economy and the future. Yet statistics indicate that some 90 percent of our Congress was re-elected. It would appear that change is unlikely when you keep the same failed leadership in office. It is as simple as voting all incumbents out of office, yet the people stand in an oblivious state while the old cronies run our country into the ground. ...more

President Barack Obama and his administrative cronies held over from the Clinton years must believe that we Americans are incapable of doing math. Or maybe they believe we are so unsophisticated and uneducated that we'd fall for smoke and mirrors and a booming oratorical voice. After all, we go over to Europe and all we can say is "merci beaucoup." ...more

Steve Chapman (Obama's 'My Pet Goat' Moment), so you are "appalled and disappointed" by what Barack Obama said? I, and I am sure many others, are appalled and disappointed by you and other bloviators such as Cal Thomas and Rush Limbaugh are doing your best to put a negative spin on anything the President-Elect says in a ridiculous attempt to somehow discredit him. The fact that he is a cautious and non-vindictive man, unlike the likes of you, does nothing to lend credence to your little temper tantrums over the right wing extremists being soundly defeated in recent elections. Had Mr. Obama immediately jumped in without doing a proper investigation into the matter, you would then be calling him a knee jerk. You are entitled to your opinion by those of us who believe in the Constitution (1st Amendment in this case) as does Mr. Obama. Not due to the actions of those who go out of their way to tear down everything done by good people who won't kowtow to them and their cronies. It would be absolutely absurd to expect that the Obama camp had not had contact with the Illinois governor. The question is whether there was any attempt to make an illicit deal concerning Sen. Obama's vacated Senate seat. ...more
