The big hassle over Hobby Lobby's employer-provided health insurance is a farce. No employer is required to provide insurance. That practice began as an effort to avoid wage and price controls.

It is hard to believe the extent of the disconnect between the Obama Administration and the American Public. When a majority of Americans believe the country is on the "wrong track", is it still a "Government by The People"?

Why is there support for the Palestinians by Americans? Even American Jews? After Japan struck the U.S. at Pearl Harbor, in 1941, The U.S. engaged in a war with Japan and demanded unconditional surrender. After Islamists struck a blow at the American homeland on September 11, 2001, the U.S. declared war on Afghanistan and rooted out the stronghold of the enemy. But, when Hamas rains rockets on Jewish civilian targets, Israel faces condemnation for defending itself.

Why are there such gross misinterpretations of recent Supreme Court rulings? Like The Constitution itself, the SCOTUS rulings are easily understood by any literate American. Yet, people who surely know better, twist the meaning to the opposite of what The Court says.

What is it called when someone shoots down an airliner with 280 passengers and 15 crew members, killing all aboard? If true, it is murder, 295 counts. Let's see if Mr. Putin and Mr. Obama can do the right thing and bring someone to justice.
