A Dr and A Soldier Died Last Week. Who’s Death Was More Tragic? Depends on Who You Watch.

The murders of both Dr. George Tiller and Pvt. William Long are tragic. I’m sure that both men knew the risk of the occupation that they decided to follow. Yet the liberal media chooses to discuss how conservative programs like The O’Riley Factor led to the climate that resulted in the death of Dr. Tiller, yet choose to ignore the fact that they themselves have contributed to the negative image of members of the military, portraying them as murders and as morally challenged people who could care less for the rights or anyone. Does this sound fair to you? It doesn’t to me.

Did It Matter?

By Alfredo Torres

Maybe I’m wrong, but does anyone else care that the local scene has lost the “Locals Lounge”? I haven’t heard or read anything about the show being gone. Now how can I talk about this without sounding like I’m tooting my own horn? Bare with me while I make my case and then tell me if I’m right or just full of myself.
