"People OK with murdering Assange" -- we need to name names, and this site does it. This disgusting trend should not be tolerated, nor should we tolerate the people who propagate it.

Since 9/12/01 there has been ONE death inside America due to terrorism (the Fort Hood shooter is only being charged with murder). America's fear has cost trillions of dollars, three wars, thousands of soldier deaths, far more veteran suicides and our Bill of Rights. Pathetic.

The Big (Military) Taboo - NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF - NYTimes.com — Nobody dares to cut military spending.

This is how Republicans work. First they cut taxes for the wealthy, then they start complaining about spending. And what do you think they want to cut? You got it. Social programs.

Republicans want to overturn Obama policy and open up our federally protected forests to commercial logging.
