Really? You must have been on another planet at a different debate. Romney looked so much more presidential than Obama, who looked like a desperate challenger. What I want to know is why you liberals are so in love with Obama who has done nothing for this country but get us another 6 trillion dollars more in dept when he promised he'd cut the deficit in half. He promised to bring down the unemployment rate below 6%, yet 23 million are without jobs. He threw my fellow construction workers and I under the bus to pursue health care, instead trying to fix the economy and get people back to work his whole first year in office. He totally lied to the American people saying the attack in Benghazi was due to a stupid video, when he knew full well it was a terrorist attack. He ran around the world telling everyone how bad America was, and the list goes on and on. When are you people gonna realize just because someone is likable and a great speaker doesn't mean he's make a good president. No this country is so screwed up with people like you voting.

Right on Foster, let's keep focusing on something that happened 47 years ago when the man was 18. Geesh! If that's the worst he's ever done, I say kudos to him, and believe he'd make a great president! Does anyone really think that he would even think about doing such a thing today? Give me a feakin break!! Instead of wasting your time on something so trivial today, why not do some real journalism and write about important things such as the atrocities being perpetrated against millions of innocent people all over the world by totalitarianism leaders, or even better yet, the incompetence of President Obama over the past 3 1/2 years. Oh wait...........I'm gonna guess you're probably included in the 90% liberal media that believes Obama is doing a great job!

Poor young man my ass!!! I'm glad the FBI entrapped this psycho before he built a real bomb with real terrorists. Stupid bleeding heart liberals.

There you go.....This is what's wrong with the world today, why it's so screwed up, because there are so many people out there who think like you. O'Malley sounds like a nice person and I wish her luck. But an "alcohol-free, family-friendly" jazz club ... man, that is just SO wrong! How in the world can opening a jazz club that would be open to all family members because no booze is served be wrong? Unless of course you're not able to listen to Jazz or simply cope with life unless you're three sheets to the wind a good part of your life. Instead of being such a pessimist why couldn't you have given this story a positive spin. Were I a jazz musician I would certainly prefer an audience who's there to enjoy the music instead of a bunch chain smokin drunks. You know there is enjoyable life outside the bottle and a pack of Marlboro! If a smoky, boozy venue is what you need to listen to jazz, maybe jazz just isn't your cup of tea, or should I say not your bottle of booze! Give me a break!!!

HB, This we definitely agree on. I believe in the seperation of church and state. There are just too many different religions, who do want things their own way. Like I've said we are all equal but believe in many different things. Governmemnts Job is to protect our country from those that seek to harm us and to protect us from each other, with military, police, Fire dept. fair justice, etc. What makes this country great is we respect our God given right of free will to choose what we want to believe in, not that forced on us by government. We have enough problems as it is without adding religion as another thing for government to control. Admittedly as a Christian I would like to see more Christian politicians yes, not to force his Christian agenda on government and the people but to simply govern with Christian morals and principals, to live his life as an example of Christ's teachings, that's all.

Thanks Stephen and Bruce! Stephen believe me I searched for the kind of strength you have most of my life but was finally so beaten down by all the stupid mistakes I made I just didn't have it in me to change on my own. It was either continue on and either die or end up in prison, or Give God a try. It took being totally broken before I realized what I had to do. I made the decision to give my self 100% to God to heal and mold as He saw fit. Now it wasn't an immediate on the road to Damascus experience, those are very rare, but do happen. Over the last couple of years God has slowly brought me up out of the pit, and into the light. I'm still a flawed human being, a work in progress, but happy and at peace for the first time in my life. In the past I always wished for the kind of strength you have, but I have to say I'm glad that wish never came true or I probably wouldn't have the wonderful relationship I now have with my Lord and Savior. The love I never knew from my biological father, My Father in heaven has replaced ten fold. And the sad part is His love was always there for me, all I had to do was reach out and except it. Well you know what they say, "hind sight is 20/20". Take care my friends!!!

Stephen, Bruce. You are right that I have no physical proof of the God I believe in. All I can tell you, and yes this will have to be taken on faith, that IMHO I am proof there is a God and Jesus is my Lord and Savior by what He has done in my life. Those that truly know me can see it. And those that don't know me of course can't. Compared to the life I led in the past and the life I live now is like the difference in night and day. I could not climb up out of the pit I dug myself into without divine intervention. I just didn't have the strength. I am able to live the life I do today because of the power of Jesus in me, other wise I would more than likely be dead. I asked God to reveal Himself to me, and He did and continues to do so in many ways. You can choose to believe me or not, that's OK I understand. In the old days I would have punched me right in the mouth for even mentioning God. :-) Thank God that guy is gone! Just know that I do not think of anyone as lesser than I because we believe differently. One of my very best friends I just had dinner with he and his wife, and we always go through some form of religious debate, and even though they believe differently than I do, I really enjoy their company and love them just the same as I love my Christian brothers and sisters. Take care!
