>>Occupy Atlanta’s protest of AT&T’s planned layoff of hundreds is in full-swing at the Southeast headquarters near downtown.
>> In the city with the family and looking for something to do? Look no further: ATL Jewish Film Fest, Underwater CSI, music, and more.

haha that straw poll link!
"Attacking Obama on several fronts, Gingrich said the president "refuses to tell the truth about people who want to hurt us." He said Obama's approach to national defense "is the most destructive unilateral disarmament I've ever seen."
i wonder what newt is vaguely referring to? obama got bin laden, intervened in libya, and is pushing the military to increase special forces to interdict terrorist cells because it's very very clear by this point that conventional warfare does nothing but get americans killed for no gain
destructive unilateral disarmament? does newt really think we need to maintain a large arsenal of aging nuclear missiles? what the hell would we even do with them? didn't he get the memo that the cold war has been over for 20 years? we can ditch half of our nukes and still retain the capacity to destroy both russia and china
newt must just be pushing for the angry redneck vote, because if you apply an ounce of common sense to anything he says it's all transparent bullshit. but then again i'm not livid that there is a BLACK man in the WHITE house

dislikeEric you are a miserable sack of shit. A whiner, panty waist, pussy.
I hope the CL staff can do something about TexGfield. The comment section is supposed to be for comments, not harassment. It's okay to get a little spicy, but TexGfield isn't really contributing at this point. He's bringing down the quality of the blogs, and that is very difficult to do considering ''eric pfeifer" and "oydave" are two of the top commenters.
OldPPete,
Agreed. TexGfield's account has been suspended for violating our comment policies.

"Didn't he get the memo that the Cold War has been over for 20 years?" Haha so many people missed that memo
oh my stars newt really is talking about iran
http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/gingri…
let's not mention the fact that the intelligence community is still very uncertain if iran is even attempting to build a bomb or not! let's just jump straight to the part where they have one and they're going to give it to terrorists for some unfathomable, probably inscrutably asiatic reason
because the last time we flipped out about an islamic state and falsely accused them of having WMDs worked out so well!!!!
"Haha so many people missed that memo"
i don't think american foreign policy will ever be normal until the last boomer dies
they spent so long being terrified of communism that they can't stop jumping at their own shadows
