8. Senate Should Allow Vote On Health Care Repeal ... With This Caveat Senator Mitch McConnell has promised a vote in the Senate on the repeal of the health reform bill.

9. Should Sarah Palin Share Any Responsibility For The Shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords? I have no love for Sarah Palin. Anyone who knows me, knows this to be true.

12. When Does The Hate Stop? Recently it has become apparent that many of us, in fact the majority of us, in the United States have failed to draw that line of distinction between mainstream and extremism.

13. I Had No Idea That I Was Not A Patriot Just to be clear I am also not an idiot, fascist, un-American, non-Christian, Nazi sympathizer, baby killer or granny killer.

15. Final Thoughts On Drawing Comparisons To Hitler I understand I am becoming very close to being one of "those" who choose to fan the fires of division.

16. Which Political Party Is Behaving Like Hitler Did? Everyone has seen the Tea Party signs bearing Obama's picture with the unmistakable Hitler mustache.

20. The Essential Difference Between The Democrat HCR Plan and The Republican HCR Plan At the health care summit on Thursday much ado was made about the common ground that Republicans and Democrats share in their two plans.

21. Free to Think In a past life, when I was a raging conservative Republican I considered Milton Friedman close to God, and his book Free To Choose an ancillary to the Bible.
