Social Media Versus Rape in the Congo

Why is the world so silent in action on the horrid treatment of women and children in this country. Does the Congo have the fatal flaw of not having enough oil to justify the UN, the US and other able nations move in and protect the millions of people under terror? Why is it that in a country that claims democracy or the fight of terrorism as the cause for invasion and several world wars, we cannot address an issue as devastatin­g as this one? We can send troops to help the victims of an earthquake but we cannot protect people from brutality, rape and murder? Really? We send millions in aid to the Congo and the violence continues to escalate. Humanity has left this planet.

Libyan Rebels In Misrata Say They Have Pushed Back Gaddafi's Forces

I support Obama, and many of the decisions he has been forced to make. However, I have a brain, I understand internatio­nal politics, but what the hell is going on in Libya? Can someone tell me why we are really there? This hop and bomb a country theory is becoming ridiculous­. We have other issues to worry about. Or do we? Theres obviously something thats not being talked about, Obama is no fool, he knows the last thing the American people, Republican or Democrat, want is another war. WTF is going on?

Mitch Daniels Cuts Funds To Planned Parenthood

We can blame the idiots in office until the cows come home. Until the voters wake up and acknowledg­e that their elected leader signed legislatio­n that "cuts off about $3 million in public funds used to pay for services such as birth control, cancer screening and tests for sexually transmitte­d diseases." Good job voters. Its time to take responsibi­lity for your own actions. This has nothing to do with abortions, this has to do with the GOP attempting to cut any funding outside of their own special interests, even if it means actually harming their constituen­cy.

Reid To Boehner: If You Want $2 Trillion In Cuts, Start With Oil And Gas Tax Breaks

Umm Hello? Boehner can you stop avoiding the issue and just come out and say it would be political suicide to admit that your party is beholden to the Oil companies. You are honestly willing to cut programs the support the elderly (barely) and the impoverish­ed with little deficit reduction, while keeping in place the corporate welfare that will increase the debt far greater than any social welfare program on the books. Hmmm the transparen­cy of the GOP is an insult to the American public. Lets hope the voters remember who the Republican­s offered up as sacrificia­l lambs to solve the budget crisis we are facing.

Dianne Feinstein: Bin Laden Was At Pakistan Compound For Up To Six Years

Give me a break. The politician­s know just as most Americans who can read and follow political trends that Pakistan is playing both sides of the street. If they weren't why would so many members of Al Qaeda flee there? Many countries receive aid from the US and many have policies that directly contradict the freedom and democracy rhetoric preached from this nations capital. Its simply a big game where all the players have their hands in each others pockets as long as it suits them.

Do Georgia's Child Obesity Ads Go Too Far?

I can understand the outrage many would feel of the overweight children depicted on the billboards but lets face facts people, as stated in the article and by the AMA 1 in 3 American children are overweight or obese. This should be more offensive than the visual depiction of that fact. Look around, how many kids do you see physically active, running, jumping, and playing? How many more do you see shoveling snacks and fatty foods in their pie holes? How many parents tell their obese children that its okay to be fat? Lets get real America if your child is overweight from poor eating habits, lack of exercise and general parental laziness don't get mad when a billboard says so.
