    The true conservative answer to these problems is to realize the fed gov has no role in these areas...it should not fund excellence and it should not fund mediocrity.
     
    Too many so called conservatives still believe the fed gov should be involved in powers not granted to it in the Constitution and for good reason...it was intended to be handled by the states.

    A true conservative will clean her clock......moderates like Dole, Romney, and McCain are losers because conservatives won't get behind them and vote for them...we go third party or sit at home......until the republicans finally decide to put a REAL CONSERVATIVE on the ballot, they will reap the benefits of another Reaganesque landslide.......

    I say put up a true conservative (smaller gov / lower taxes) and give it a shot...we haven't tried it since Reagan.
     
    Look how that worked out.

    Dems on the wrong side of energy policy AGAIN...just imagine what would happen if we opened up ANWR and completed the Keystone pipeline.
     
    Dems will still tell you both are the wrong policy.
     
    The only thing you need to prove liberal policies wrong are time.

    Yes we can...either get a job and don't go to college OR get a job and/or scholarship and pay for your college.
     
    Don't saddle the taxpayer with YOUR responsibility.
     
    Both ways work for me.

    His career is over if he wants it to be over. He's still better than most of the qbs in the league. He might not be good enough to win a Super Bowl, but I guarantee you the broncos will take him back, and 15 or more teams on top of that.

    History shows us what's in store...another fed program funded by the taxpayers.
     
    If you want to go to CC, earn a scholarship or get a job and pay for it.
     
    The fed gov should not be involved in this...if the states choose to participate and fund it, fine.

    This is Sickening, I don't have a problem with Protests, but they need to be peaceful. Profiling is Real America, as a Black Man I've faced this too many times to count. It doesn't give me the right to assume every Officer will treat me the same as the Last. I've had a talk with my 4 boys, 2 of them who will be18 in a few months. If an authority figure gives you a Command, say yes Sir/Ma'am & follow directions. The scales of Justice can be unfair and many times unbalanced, but so is Life. Give yourself every opportunity to have another chance, a rebuttal. Nobody speaks from the Grave. My sympathies to the young man's Family and to the Officer. This Ignorance must Cease. Our Leaders in the Black Community must not be so quick to React to an already Intense situation. I'm not implying that's what has happened, but we must learn from the past or we are subjected to repeating History. I Love All Races, but I still have issues with many Injustices towards Black people, but yet again that doesn't give me the Right to Disrespect the Authority in Control. These are rules that were handed down to me & I pass on to my Children. I was Taught to treat people the way I wanted to be treated, Race & Gender doesn't matter. We must face the fact that there is good & bad everywhere and let's not kid ourselves to think that we haven't had a Racist moment/episode in our lives. That doesn't make you a Racist, just means you didn't use your better judgement. We all make mistakes. but repeated errors in judgement aren't mistakes. The label Racist is harsh, it's thrown around hastily, some deserving & some aren't.  I'm not here to place Blame or be Judgemental, although I've jumped to conclusions on this forum before without knowing the Facts.  May God continue to show us Grace & Mercy.
    Merry Christmas To ALL.  Jesus is the reason for the Season

    Football has gotten a black eye in the media over the past few years with news of abuse by players and increased concerns about head injuries. Many in the media and in our society seem convinced that the game teaches kids to be violence and is driven by parents trying to live out their own dreams of glory at the expense of their son's health.  But those people overlook the real heart of the game and the benefits it provides to the young men who play.
     
    My own son's football career came to an end this season when his team lost in the second round of the playoffs.  There were tears on the field and in the crowd when the last seconds ticked off the clock.  As the weeks since have passed I have had time to reflect on my son's experience as a football player and what football has done for him and for other young men across the state and country.
     
    My son was not a star player on his team.  In fact, he only got to play in four games, always in "garbage" time at the end of games.  But we celebrated all thirty or so snaps he took, because they represented the payoff of all the hard work and pain he endured to earn them.  Football taught my son so many things -- how to work with others, how to commit to something bigger than yourself, how to support others, how to overcome adversity,  how to accept responsibility for actions that impact others, that success has to be earned, and that the most rewarding things in life are the product of hard work. These are the lessons that football teaches. 
     
    When you combine those things with the fact that football encourages young men to be better students and gives them extra incentive for staying in school, I believe that football benefits our society much more than it harms it.  I'm thankful for the game, those who sacrifice their time to coach it, and those coaches who care about the development of the young men under their supervision as men and not just players.
