  • Vice President Biden described the Boston bombers as "knock-off Jihadists." I don't understand what that means. Does that mean they differ from your standard, run-of-the-mill, garden variety Jihadist?

All the nasty, thankless chores are done by a small group of dedicated volunteers that show up daily.

  • I am getting tired of NRA and people predicting the end of the world if Congress passes a gun control measure.

  • I believe there are bonds formed in this life which should never be compromised or broken. When they are it is unavoidable that the results will be traumatic and horrible.
