“Think about this scenario: 18-20 year old female, lives on her own, has a child. Her only form of defense is... ? Sure, she could have a baseball bat, knife, mace, etc, but what happens when the perpetrator overpowers her? What if there are multiple perpetrators? The greatest equalizer has always be…”

In Response to: Does the VA Need Teams Focused on Improving Failing Medical Centers?

“"You don't need 30 rounds to hunt with" True. But the founding fathers didn't write the second amendment because the deer were coming. Also, most gun laws do NOT prevent criminals. The U.K. now talking about a KNIFE ban because of their extremely high violent crime rate. Let's not go down that road …”

In Response to: Should Assault Weapons Be Banned?

“This would be a subtle reminder to the Chinese about our disagreements similar to during the Cold War and the Soviet embassy. This hurts no one and helps bring attention to Liu Xiaobo. It's time Americans stood up for our values. ”

“I am pro-life. However, I believe strongly that conception is not the beginning of life. This is a philosophical issue. We should allow choice up to fetal viability and allow choice for exceptions that include only: endangers the mothers life, rape, incest, and deformities of the child that will cau…”

In Response to: Should "Life" be Legally Defined as Beginning at Conception?

“I have personally been - for lack of better words - screwed over using my GI Bill because of this. I spent a year working 65 hours a week on average (I have pay stubs to prove it) to pay off tuition the VA didn't cover, causing me to lose a year of my benefits. I wish I could sit down with my Senato…”

“We spent $800,000 developing a televised cricket league in Afghanistan last year. This is a no brainer. Cut the dumb spending and invest in things that matter, national parks being one of them. It was not the states' jobs to fund the parks.”

In Response to: Should States That Paid to Keep National Parks Open During the Government Shutdown Be Reimbursed?

“I believe this is more of a fundamental development issue. I believe helping those who wandered down the wrong path should get help. I also believe that will not solve the underlying issues.

In Response to: Are Re-Integration Programs The Solution To Recidivism?

“The employee should not be the one being punished, but rather the government should be held accountable. We need a smaller government. The government hired these employees, the need to take care of them. If you want to save money and avoid furloughs, reduce the size of government. They shouldn't ha…”

In Response to: Should the Government Stop Counting Money From the VA as "Income" When Calculating a Vet's Housing Assistance Eligibility?

“Although one may not agree with the act, it is ignorant to not understand the benefits and savings this would give taxpayers. One can correlate the abortions after Roe v Wade with the exponential drop in crime rate in the 90s. Forcing women out of an option could cause future problems for taxpayers.…”
