Many in the military, especially special ops, delta and related groups are extremely upset about how Benghazi was handled and being told to stand down. How many times did we hear it was a protest in response to a video, Ccearly lied to the American people when they knew in real time it was an organized terrorist attack and scrubbed the talking points to mislead. The IRS issue is completely inexcusable. All involved need to be fired. Good to see some outrage from both sides, there needs to be swift consequences.

Agree, don't like the little I know about the poll tax but otherwise, seems her ideals supporting hard work, freedom and individualism were admirable. Tired of hearing that people who value those ideals and don't want to massively redistribute wealth are 'only for the rich', that is bullshit. No one is perfect and neither party is good for all but it is absurd to think the only difference in people is because of luck and birth. That does matter but far from the only factors in today's society in countries like the US and UK...the most important trait I have learned in life (coming from an absolutely middle class average family to becoming a doctor) is to work harder than others and always try to grow personally and professionally, not to settle for mediocracy...ideas that are not held in high esteem in a socialist mindset. I absolutely believe people that who work hard, create and take advantage of opportunities should be able to do better (and not be taxed half their income). I also believe government has a responsibility to keep the playing field as even as possible without picking winners and loosers.

She was against socialist/communist type policies where people are viewed as a group instead of individuals, ie what is best for the group...trying to make everyone as close to equal as possible regardless of work effort and skill. Take from producers to spread it to everyone. No pure system is perfect but socialism makes no sense to me, as someone who strives to work hard and better my life & standing for family. I don't want to have to carry able bodied people that are low achievers, low energy or lazy. We must help our sick, disabled and elderly and need some social programs but to indefinitely support able bodied people just because they are poor or have less is wrong.

Tough Lady. Fought to limit over-reaching union power in her country, fought for good core values, stood up for her principles and though she had her critics, she was a strong leader. RIP. Ashamed at Hollywood for basically trashing her and focusing on her dementia in her elderly years in the movie "The iron lady" released a couple yrs ago, not surprising from the Hollywood super libs.

London actually gets less rain than where I live (Cleveland) on an annual basis. Yeah, cloudy a lot but as you know the weather shifts pretty quickly. When I was there you'd often have rain, clouds and sun in the same day, obviously more March-October. Here, when it rains its mainly rainy and cloudy all day. Southern England and Ireland is better than regions inland and to the north.

They should just agree to universal background checks, that is reasonable. No, we don't need military assault weapons but the problem is in the details. All the weapons these liberals are trying to ban aren't automatic AR-15s and M16s, as you think of when people say assault rifles. They want to limit handgun clips and other bullshit stuff. Point is government should only ban something if they absolutely have to. Anytime there are more restrictions, regulations and bans, we loose freedoms. Freedom to bear arms is clearly delineated in the constitution. Who gives a rats ass if she is 79 and if she had been on the committee for 20yrs, she is held to the same standards representing us and making critical decisions. Having career politicians is one of the problems with Washington.

Agree hipolito. I totally admire Dorian for his work ethic and workman, hard, non-flamboyant training style but BBing in general was at its best in Lee Haney's time, the direction of mass over shape started with Dorian and got worse afterward. Back in the iron age, they didn't accept distended guts and organ growth.

Arnold had good calves (not great) but it was a lagging part that he worked hard to bring up. You don't get those striations and muscle quality with implants. Agree, many pros in the 70s/early 80s had perfect sized legs. The pros now have a miserable time doing anything athletic because many of them carry too much leg muscle, which kills any functionality...shit they can't even walk right.

Senator Paul did that so he could get a clear answer in writing for the public, we should be thankful for representatives like Paul who hold their feet to the fire and protect our freedoms. They refused to clarify until he held up the nomination. You are a fool if you read this any other way.

Arnold had fantastic genetics. Look at his teenage pictures. He wasn't just in the right place at right time. If Arnold took the drugs these guys use today, he'd be proportionally even more impressive and massive. Unlike current pros, Arnold was not always on AAS. As far as a governor, California is really screwed up fiscally...not sure anyone can fix it.

I hear you, agree. Being involved with MMA for over 15 yrs I like to see fighters rewarded that earn it and main event is what all fighters want. I also just enjoy the 155lb & up divisions much more, lot more KOs and TKOs. Respectfully, I don't want to see a main card with more female and 135lb fights. I felt the same way about Brock Lesner, he didn't earn a title shot but understand it was a business decision by the UFC. Dude was huge and tough but cracked when anyone pressured him..because he didn't have the experience and been through the tough fights to deserve to be there.
Both Kickboxing and wrestling then assistant coach for many years at Strong Style MMA. Been ring doctor at the UFC (Columbus when Hendo fought Anderson, I was Hendo's doc) and training partners with a few guys from our gym that fought in the UFC.

Every pro fighter cares, you should have to earn being the main event, the UFC is the best of the best and the main events get all the buzz, news coverage and best sponsors. This is Rousey's 7th pro MMA fight...main event? Not her fault, I give her props, just strongly disagree with that decision by Dana White. Carmouche is 9 and 3, not a main event record. With the addition of the 135lb and 145lb classes, which I don't want to see as much as the UFC's original weight classes, it looks like now a women's division is going to be included regularly on main cards too. Means we see less of the middle & heavier MMA classes fight. As a former fighter & coach, I completely respect women in MMA but I'd rather they have their own shows vs. us seeing less of the top male pros on UFC PPV cards.

I respect women who compete in MMA but I think its disrespectful to have Rousey and Caramouche fighting in the main event when they both have so few fights compared to guys like Henderson and many others on the card that have fought their way up and earned a main event pro slot and pay.
