LETTER OF THE DAY!
"I got the feeling you didn't approve of Mr. Kyle's military specialty. While many civilians look at the job of sniper as cruel, we must remember that war inevitably involves killing and the snipers are highly effective in neutralizing some of our worst enemy combatants."
Dennis Bridwell
Sumner, IL
SPENDING SPREE
Talking Points wonders whether President Obama knows the long-term damage his rampant spending is doing to the American economy.
"You send President Obama doesn't seem to understand the danger he is courting with his massive spending. I think he sees some danger to the economy, but believes a falling tide will level all boats."
Ed DeVito
Ridgefield, CT
"Are you kidding me? It's part of Obama's plan to keep spending. He wants to turn the United States into a socialistic country. He can only obtain that goal through bankrupting the country."
Joyce Chadwick
Boca Raton, FL
"Understanding that Obama is a progressive with an agenda contrary to the fundamental principles that built America will go a long way in understanding his methods."
Frank Ford
Pittston, PA
"During this presidential election, the future of our country will be on the line. Americans need to understand that. Thanks for looking out for us!"
Richard Ellinghuysen
Omaha, NE
"You are wrong. Obama is a hypocrite. In 2008, he attacked Bush for overspending and putting our children's future at stake. Now look at him."
Ron Altman
Evergreen, CO
"Obama understands that his spending is destroying this country. That you continually excuse him as simply unaware is tiresome."
Roy Locker
Newark, DE
"President Obama's highest priority is keeping his job. He campaigned for half his Senate tenure, and he is doing the same as President."
Ron Coates
Aurora, IL
"President Obama is doing what any good Marxist would do: spend other people's money so he can spread the wealth."
Tom Cooper
Sacramento, CA
"You don't understand why Obama is courting increased spending? Let's be honest - he wants to increase people's dependence on government largesse."
Saverio Barbiere
San Diego, CA
"I believe Obama knows precisely that running up huge deficits will force us into such a mess that huge government will be the only way out. That is how he plans to fundamentally change this country."

Roseville, CA
IN THE LINE OF FIRE
Former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is reportedly the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, with more than 150 confirmed kills. Does the sharpshooter have any guilt?
"As a proud Army vet, I will tell you that sniper Chris Kyle is right. In war, you kill the enemy to save your own people. And the people we're fighting right now are savages."
Richard Ringo
Cincinnati, OH
"It's a shame that all you could focus on during your interview with Chris Kyle was his potential guilt from killing our enemies rather than his pride in saving the lives of his fellow soldiers and citizens."
Roslyn Smith
Atlanta, GA
"This guy is a hero, and of course he didn't like killing. He was doing a job he was trained for and happened to do it very well."
Joan LaPore
Manassas, VA
"If I'm an American GI moving through a hot area, Chief Kyle is the guy I want on overwatch."
Devon Stavrowsky
Ignacio, CO
"May God bless Chris Kyle and his fellow Navy SEALs. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their bravery and service to our nation."
Kathleen Wright
Rochester, NY
"I love your show and you are a proven patriot, but I was put off by your Chris Kyle interview. How dare you question his state of mind while fighting a war. He did his job!"
Kevin Reiter
Forest, OH
RELIGIOUS OVERKILL?
Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow is taking some heat from other NFL players, including Baltimore Ravens linebacker (and ex-con) Terrell Suggs, for kneeling in prayer during football games.
"The world would be a better place with millions more Tim Tebows than with half the NFL players with their stupid antics and their foul mouths."
Meredith Ruff
Mill Spring, NC
"The Baltimore linebacker who criticized Tim Tebow's need for divine intervention each game is well within his rights. He is a patriot for not being scared into silence by the judgmental Christian majority."
Josh Brown
Kansas City, MO
"Mr. Tebow should stop praying on the sidelines as soon as other players stop doing their dumb dancing after making a good play."
Jerry Kosmicki
Milwaukee, WI
"If I were Terrell Suggs, I'd be hoping and praying that Denver beats the Steelers."
Sharon Sparks
Baltimore, MD
"I'm convinced that the NFL players who claimed to be incensed by Tim Tebow's prayers are really just feeling deeply ashamed of their own unsavory behavior. Rather than face their own faults, they choose to ridicule Tim."
Kenneth Besig
Kiryat Arba, Israel
"The more other NFL players complain about Tim Tebow's praying, the more they're not focused on their own playoff goals. I think Mr. Suggs should take his own advice and just play the game."
Marie D'Angelo
Norfolk, MA
"Ex-heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield used to praise Jesus after every victory, and I don't remember any outrage over his expression of faith. Tebow is doing the same thing and being persecuted by his peers."
Gary Adams
