Do you think she will take the time necessary to walk through the nominee for treasury, jack lew- regarding his off shore Cayman Island investments? He did liquidate when Obama nominated him, so I guess that makes him legit- Rachel can ignore, well, since he is a liberal. Making her, well, a hypocrite.

And I see so many sources for your accusation. As usual

Larry, you seem to be wanting to disbelieve it, but, you just don't seem able to. Would you emphatically state that Obama is as dead set against offshore tax investing now as he was during the campaign, that he would never look the other way and nominate someone who made such investments? Guess that's a pretty simple question.

Lol. Maybe an "Ed poll"- Should Obama nominate people to cabinet positions that have had off shore banking accounts in known tax havens?"

Bush's fault

Any one notice how much better the weather people are today ? I remember when They said sunshine tomorrow and it rained all the next day. The Earth is an engine. Not that much different then under your car hood. You know. electric fuel injection and variable cam timing. Well except that the Earth is way more complicated, but other than that..... can any of you fix your cars engine faults ? I worked on cars for twenty years and can not work on a new car today without first downloading possible computer fault codes.

Wait I think I know what you mean. Global Warming is just to big for us ? Ok you are right. If killing each other off is still exceptable conduct than global warming is small potatos. You are right. .....my bad.

Well, what can be done? We've elected a liberal President- he recently defended his petro position by showing that more drilling is occuring under his watch that at any other time.

Under Obama's policies, drilling and fracking have flourished. The only line in the sand he has drawn would be the transporting of foriegn oil via pipelines through America.

Rusty - actually the reason we have more drilling is the number of permits issued under Pesident Bush. Obozo has completely shut down the gulf to oil drilling. Other countires have moved in and are now drilling there. Also the EPA is doing it's best to deny permits with Obozo's blessing.

Obozo is committed to 'Green Energy".

Ok , Rachel , see what you have done !!

You give people hope. People start to like each other and then you take way their sunshine? Bad Rachel. Now we know how Obama feels.

Logical discourse LeeFromOhio.

However, If one innocent dies in the process of justice, we all fail. America says that all are innocent until otherwise proven. It is a very important rule. The drone thing is just another example of American contradictions. We send our children to war and murder and then act surprised when they come home broken.

Lee,

No, No, and No!

It is easy to point out the obvious. What about Travon Martin? Not so cut and dry!

Our country is based on a system of law. You and I can have our "opinions" but those opinions do not, and cannot, translate into conclusions without due process of law. We all hate it when it seems so obvious that someone is guilty. But our founding fathers set this whole thing up with the guiding principle that "rather ten guilty men go free than one innocent man be unjustly imprisoned".

Re: It has been argued that when a person decides to join a group like al Queda that they have made their decision and we can go forward based on that decision. But legally, it just doesn't work that way. You don't have to like the process, especially when you are dealing with "obvious" cases, but you do have to use the process. And if you really don't like the process, you can work to change it. Just be careful of what you wish for or change. There is always the law of unintended consequences.

ps Apparently, from previous postings I need to identify that I voted for Obama, I am a very liberal-thinking person, and, on this, my president and my country are wrong.

We need to stop living in fear of every shadow. We need to stand up and be brave and be counted!

Ben Franklin was, well , different. The Post Office was his idea. It had three rules. First, your mail would not be read and second we would try to get it there in a timely manner and third, your mail would not be read. I still use the Post Office and would pay 75 cents for a stamp. Would that help ?? My bank charges a dollar to pay a bill there. I still see mail as a good deal. Pay by computer ? Great !! Until the computer crashes or the internet crashes or you get picked off by a hacker or some automatic payment system screws up and I have $200.00 in bounce fees.

My mother still sends me a birthday card every year with money in it. The Post Office has never let her down. Are we letting them down ?

No, you did not miss it - I could not believe it!! I was SO happy to have another show besides Ed's take up the Post Office debacle and then to not only have MPH but also the Congressman not make mention of what CONGRESS did to destroy the PO is atrocious.

MSNBC: I understand you probably want your hosts to be independent, plan their own shows, etc. But, at the very least, you should be sending out a daily email to your hosts with the main topics being covered by everyone else (or that were covered the day before). I like MPH, I think she is very intelligent and she cares. I can't believe she wouldn't have highlighted the real problem if she had known about it.

Perhaps everything was a little bit rushed due to being a substitute; perhaps previously scheduled guests couldn't make it in. But, please - at the very least - each show's PRODUCERS should be aware of the big issues being covered by their main hosts in order to support the story correctly.

Wow you just gave me an thought. No more military !! Just us nuts packing rockets. ...

did you hear, that without China, there wouild be no fireworks !? Bad old China. Math ?? Invented in islam. No way !! Yes Way !!! Yes, they were once a very fun people to know. What happened?? .......not sure....

Actually I am sure. Guns or no guns. really ?? In not too long a freaking meteor is going to crash into our Earth and all that sh*t will be immaterial. Or we can stop putting all our money into killing each other and go to Mars where we can have a war in peace. Now why did I just get the feeling that Aristotle wanted to slap me ??

Agreed, halj. MHP, your concession to Wayne LaPierre (TRMS, Feb 8, ’13) was off the mark.

You concurred with hm that the 2nd Amendment is designed to give citizens the means to defend themselves against tyranny. You're both wrong. The doctrine of the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with the right of individuals to take up arms against tyranny. It doesn’t say that, and it doesn’t mean that.

The express doctrine of the 2nd Amendment is that an independent government (free state), so as to protect itself from foreign threats or domestic disorder (security), must have armed forces (well regulated militia). That’s the doctrine, the first 13 of 27 words. The last 14 words state the condition necessary in the 18th century to enact that doctrine — militiamen must not be disabled from bringing their own weapons when mustered. (DC v Heller misreads the 2nd Amendment, but it sure as shootin’ does not affirm LaPierre’s reading.)

The Framers had sufficient rhetorical resources to say, “The defiance of Tyranny, being necessary to the security of a free State … ,“ but they said something else entirely. The idea of the 2nd Amendment is to have an affordable, responsive military by the standards of the day — an ad hoc instead of a standing army, a ready means of putting down local slave rebellions and Indian attacks, for example, without having to requisition Congress or meet its conditions. This has something to do with states’ rights perhaps, but not tyranny.

Now, all that said, individuals may indeed have a NATURAL RIGHT to armed resistance against the tyranny of their own government. That argument is made in the Declaration of Independence and in the Ordinances of Secession. But it is certainly not a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. In fact, it’s the most extra-Constitutional right there could be, because its expression (whether by Colonies or Confederacy) is the violent overthrow of the government thus constituted.

There is no chance, not in the most far-fetched reading of anything the Framers said in the 2nd Amendment or elsewhere, that they meant to confer upon citizens a legal right, under pretext of tyranny or otherwise, to shoot government officials. The Constitutional protection of citizens against tyranny resides, for example, in the more profound provisions of the Bill of Rights (Amendments I, IV, V,VI). It is found in limits to executive authority, in authorizations and consents required of Congress, and particularly in regular and frequent federal elections. Where it cannot be found is in “our 2nd Amendment remedies.”

Steve Kornacki or Krystal Ball would have done fine I'm sure...there are lots of good options for substitutes.

Oh no you didnt. Yes Melissa is a very opinionated and strong willed woman. And yes, she would probably argue in your behalf to the cop that had just stopped you for speeding until it got you arrested. But she would also be the one bailing you out of jail. I think Melissa is very sexy.

Now as far as religion goes, I see more similarities then differences between archrival Christians and Islams. They both downgrade women and treat them as personal property. They both believe that killing the other guy will solve their problems. Neither of them can tolerate scrutiny or non-believers. So one guy floated up to Heaven by himself while the other rode a horse? Now that is worth fighting over. Really? I wear my hat with the bill to the left, where it should be, and you wear your hat with the bill to the right. That is unexceptable.

You are clearly pretty dumb. You can't group all christians together like that, and you can't assume that someone is republican just because they're christian. Obama is christian, he is a democrat. I am also christian, and I've supported Obama since before he had even won his first presidential primary. Do you have any idea how many christians voted for Obama this year? Check the numbers, he wouldn't have won re-election without us. Your comments were idiotic, and completely detattched from reality.
