    Court case: How far can people go in defending their home from intruders?

    So stealing doesn't count as harm then? If your home was repeatedly burglarized would you feel harmed? Life, liberty, property - the basic inalienable rights. Infringement on any of these, including property, harms me. Maybe the rape thing was a bit over the top, but it fittingly matches the...

    Court case: How far can people go in defending their home from intruders?

    Jesus christ people, these lowlife bastards were in his house! Is there anyone seriously defending the supposed "kids" who broke in with intent to harm? Anything else besides a self-defense argument is nothing more than mental masturbation. You break into my house and I'll waste your ass...

    Salon Goes After Glenn Beck For Saying "Freedom is Ugly" in regard to Proposed Arizona Law

    Yeah, because hypocrisy and bigotry should be illegal. Right? And what is the fundamental difference between religious freedom and property rights? Don't they both stem from self ownership or is that a principle that no longer applies since we're talking about the most recent "oppressed"...

    Plane crash kills son of Oklahoma Sen. Inhofe

    Do the sins of the father carry over to the son? I'd imagine he spent too much time either with his own family or helping other people's children to have much time to play the political game. And what if he had tried to influence his father? Would it have done any good? How would anybody...

    Plane crash kills son of Oklahoma Sen. Inhofe

    This guy was a highly regarded pediatric surgeon who also held a degree in electrical engineering from Duke. Its likely that he was smarter than any of you who are so quick to condemn him as stupid. I'd expect more circumspect analysis than from RPFers than the "rich douche had it coming" crap...

    Speaker Boehner's ultimatum to Obama: "There will be negotiations"

    "I have shown myself willing to go more than halfway," Obama said, but he added, "We can't make extortion a routine part of our democracy," Obama said. IOW, give me what I want or I'll call you names and slap labels on you.

    You're a bad person if you don't send your kids to state schools

    I suspect the author must have received a public education with that kind of reasoning. And in fact parents are fixing the public education system by refusing support in places where it obviously doesn't merit it. Its the free market solution that the liberal-progressive blinders prevent her...

    What do you think best describes Chris Christie?

    He's the governor of NJ for chrissakes. How could he be other than some sort of circus act given the electorate that chose him?

    Teen jailed for months after video game joke is getting brutalized

    Seems like there's something in the constitution about excessive bail. Its right there in the 8th amendment... Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Not that the constitution really matters anymore, what with terrist...

    If you served as an Army Officer opine on this

    20 years and only made Major? Sounds like he was passed over twice (or not recommended) and had to retire. That's still an awful long time in service for someone who only made major unless he had some enlisted or warrant time on the front end. I don't recall ever meeting a major with 20 or...
