  1. Benghazi - four people were killed and we still don't have an adequate explanation for what went wrong and no one has been apprehended.
  2. The IRS - tax examinations and a holdup of privileges based on political profiling is chilling.
  3. AP phone monitoring - interference with the First Amendment freedom of the press rights strikes at the heart of our freedoms.
  4. None of these situations scare me.
  5. They are all equally alarming.

  1. No, it was just a few kids, everyone shouldn't be penalized for that.
  2. Yes, it's become too dangerous to bring people here who develop anti-American hatred and use it against us.

  1. Yes, they are two young kids whose background gave them strong misgivings about the United States and they acted on those misgivings with violence.
  2. No, this was clearly a mission created by terrorist brainwashing that has the jihad efforts against the American people written all over it.

  1. No, this was a one-time event, regular security measures should be maintained, but we can't let irrational people change our way of life.
  2. Yes, these tragedies are becoming sickening and every precaution needs to be taken to prevent them in the future, including right to search people at major outdoor sporting events.

  1. This is long overdue. Skirting the Shamokin Dam strip will make north-south driving to and from our area safer and faster and will be an economic asset.
  2. This is a waste of money. We can't afford the exorbitant costs of this project and it doesn't carry the benefits to match the expenses.

  1. It's a great idea that should give police the kind of evidence that will cut down on crime in those two important areas of the city.
  2. It's a waste of money. Criminals will just go elsewhere.
  3. It's an intrusion on citizen privacy.
  4. Given the amount of violent crime in the city lately, anything that can help police do their job is worth it.

  1. It's long-overdue, with 48 states already going to a private system, and will be more efficient than the public system.
  2. We shouldn't do it because all the other states have it, but rather because it will improve consumer choice and competition will create lower prices of the products.
  3. We should do it because of the billion-dollar--plus cash infusion projected for a state budget sorely in need of fresh revenue.
  4. It's a bad idea that won't work and will cost thousands of workers their jobs.

  1. It was the correct call because banning assault will not solve the problems that are responsible for violent killings in the United States.
  2. It was the correct call strictly on right to bear arms Constitutional grounds.
  3. We needed the ban to cut down on violent gun crime in America.

  1. He's humble, down to earth and an excellent, modern communicator, and represents the Catholic Church heavy Latin population, an excellent choice.
  2. He's too old and may appear - rightly or wrongly - out of touch to the people the church needs to bring back or introduce to the faith.
  3. I don't think it matters who the pope is, we live in a time when people are turning away from all tradition religion.

  1. I'm glad it happened as it did; if anything, more needs to be done beyond just cutting the rate of spending growth.
  2. I'm glad it happened, but different things could have been cut to achieve $85 billion in savings.
  3. President Obama completely bungled this; he should have taken the House up on its offer to give him complete control of what to cut.
  4. The House should have succumbed to the president's request to cut more tax loopholes for the rich, even without a promise to cut specific spending.

  1. I'm old school. I mostly listen to records or radio or - to be more modern - XM radio.
  2. I'm stuck in the 80s or 90s. I mostly listen to cassettes or CDs.
  3. I like to mix it up. I listen to music several ways.
  4. I'm a 2000s kid. I mostly download music.
  5. I'm cutting edge. I mostly stream music from the internet.

  1. Every facet of the federal government operation needs to be cut, and not just a cut from projected spending growth.
  2. Find cuts other than the "sequester" cuts for the military.
  3. The "sequester" proposal is ok since the actual growth in spending would be 10 percent over the next five years, but leave Social Security and Medicare alone.
  4. Forget the cuts and tax the rich some more.

  1. Yes, the government has every right to take action when our nation is under threat.
  2. No, this leaves open the door to killing without due process; how do we know what is behind the decision.

  1. I would love it if he were American.
  2. I would love to see an African pope with the cardinal from Ghana.
  3. The next pope should be from a Latin American country since that populations makes up such a large percentage of Catholics.
  4. I don't care, as long as he is in touch with the needs of the modern-day Catholic church.

  1. Yes. Right now, they make too many decisions based on getting re-elected.
  2. No. The lack of experience caused by term limits would be dangerous.

  1. Yes, that would make all the difference in the world.
  2. No, it's just not an attraction with popular support, as evidenced by this year's aborted season at Bowman Field.
  3. I would make a game or two, but if we don't have a team in the future, I can live without it.

  1. Assault weapons should be banned and there should be more restrictions on other guns and rifles.
  2. None of it should be changed. The right to bear arms should be maintained as the Constitution implies.
  3. This debate misses the point. Attention to the mentally ill is the only thing that will cut down on catostrophically violent crimes.

  1. It was a fair compromise that saved major tax hikes on most Americans and correctly put almost all the emphasis on tax hikes to the richest few percent of Americans. The president did his job.
  2. It saved a disaster, but until spending cuts to non-essential programs are addressed, the country will remain in debt and economically stagnant. The president remains oblivious to the need to cut spending.
  3. It was a complete waste of time. I am disgusted with the administration, Congress and the Senate.

  1. Yes, armed resistance is the only way to stop the actions of those unstable enough to contemplate such atrocities.
  2. No, it's unaffordable. The better answer is more restrictive gun control laws.
  3. Such a plan would work, but the best way to prevent such future tragedies is more attention to mental disabilities that are the root cause of most of these shootings.
