That ya'all would fight so passionately for the Department Of Homeland Security tells me that ya'all finally get it..

That nothing trumps National Security... And if we have to have an agency whose mandate is to ignore basic civil liberties??

Well, I am glad ta see ya'all are finally on board with that. :D

Michale

Obama's DOJ has stated that there will be no charges filed against George Zimmerman as there is no evidence to support any charges..

Once again.. Hopefully, there will come a day when Weigantians realize that, in these issues, I actually DO know what I am talking about...

Michale

Can ya check the NNL filter??

Michale

What is Obama so afraid of???

Why isn't every Weigantian demanding transparency on this???

I found that link you were looking for..

Ex-NBC Bureau Chief Backs Up O’Reilly’s Account of Falklands War Riot
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/ex-nbc-bureau-chief-backs-up-oreillys-account-of-falklands-war-riot/

Of course, an apology is out of the question. I realize that..

But I just wanted to make it clear who has the facts around here and who is full of shit....

I would be the former, and you would be the latter... :D

Michale

It was perfectly acceptable in Michale's diseased mind when he was attacking children desperately fleeing poverty and brutality by illegally immigrating to America. Then Michale was adamant in his assertions that 12 year-olds were gangster drug mules, criminals, thugs, diseased, and, his personal favorite, "scumbags."

But then, Michale's hypocrisy has always gone hand in hand with his general penchant for lying. I guess that's why people think that he's the problem around here.

Michale"

Too true. Far too many Southern Whites will just never change!

In his diseased mind, it's perfectly acceptable to attack a 12 year old child...

Dr Martin Luther King would be totally and unequivocally ashamed of Dan.....

Michale

But simply listed out of the context of immigration or interaction with LEOs, and suddenly they become left-wing, racist, and shocking to Michale's tender sensibilities?!

Well, I guess we know whether or not Michale's "principles" are subject to change!

Color me shocked... NOT...

Apparently, it IS true what they say..

The apple doesn't fall far from the Jim Crow/KKK tree...

Michale

Hmmmmmmm

JFC says that "gangster", "thug", "scum", "diseased", and "criminal" are "OK" "slurs" to use against a black child...

WOW.....

Just.... WOW..

Hard to believe that people think *I* am the problem around here... :D

Michale

"I'd love to see him try to debate any one of us here at CW.com!"

Parrots don't debate, but they can make lots of money entertaining. The cash is probably an avalanche by now. You can be sure he won't do anything to ruin that.

I sure hope he doesn't read any YouTube comments, he's such a fragile child.

I don't think that "asshat" is an appropriate label for that sweet, innocent 12 year old child, but "gangster", "thug", "scum", "diseased", and "criminal" are OK to use as slurs against children.

BTW - I think that "brain-washed aspiring right-wing grifter" would be right on the nose re CJ.

As long as LD continues to insist that personal attacks = rational debate, it will be like this...

It's the only way to deal with a sad and pathetic bully...

Michale

Michale"

Lol, so record low voter turn-out means the America people were so upset with Obama policy that they didn't even feel the need to participate in the voting. That they were endorsing the Republican victories they all knew were going to occur...

See, that's my issue. It isn't enough that Michale insists on lying. Chronically. But he insists on inflicting the stoopidest possible lies insulting our intelligence as well!

Glad to hear that but, I'd really like to see the two of you take an altogether different approach to debating an issue ... call me a cockeyed optimist!

Thank-you ... thank-you very much.

"Shocking. Positively shocking."

...And productive!

I'm finding Michale attacking me far easier to endure than his usual endless repetition of incredibly stupid Winger lies that he apparently believes we should all be dumb enough to accept as fact.

Fair enough.. :D I'll make sure I am more specific in the future... :D

Michale

And yet, the arguments resonate with the vast majority of Americans..

As evidenced by the recent Nuclear Shellacking Obama and the Democrats took in November...

Obama himself stated, "Make no mistake, my policies are on the ballot this November..."

And the American people, either by commission or omission, passed judgement on those policies..

Michale

I completely agree...

Any adult that calls a 12 year old child an "asshat", regardless of the reason, has a few bats in the belfry and definite anger issues...

You shouldn't be confused about me, Michale.

Never have, never will... :D

Michale

Lol, Liz,

Well, you know, I try. :)

I think it's always best to "attack" someone's ideas in the form of valid counter-arguments rather than resorting to calling them names. That's what our inner voices are for, after all!

I don't know enough about this child to judge him one way or another. But, based solely on Pearson's attack on President Obama, I think I can safely say that the arguments he makes in this personal attack would no stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Though, I'd love to see him try to debate any one of us here at CW.com!

Well, considering all the personal attacks against President Bush around here since 2006.....

Well, you can see how one could be confused.. :D

Michale

I've never said otherwise.

Since when??? :D

Since 19 Jan 2009, right?? :D

Michale

Michale is trying to attack me. He thinks my calling the author of his diatribe an "asshat" is "attacking a 12 year-old kid." Apparently he thinks we should pretend that 12 year-old kids know what they are talking about when it comes to foreign policy!

I, however, unlike Michale, remember what it was like to be a 12 year-old kid. Perhaps because, unlike Michale, I no longer act like a 12 year-old kid. The kid thinks what he knows is all there is to know. He's ignorant of his ignorance. He's twelve. Being an asshat is almost a requirement. He'll outgrow it. Unless he winds up like Michale.

I'm not about to defer to the advice of a 12 year-old. But, unlike Michale, I've no interest in exploiting him for petty slights against anyone else either.

A link to the sad and pathetic bully who attacked a 12 yr old kid and called the kid a "asshat"??

Yea.. I have a link...

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2015/02/20/ftp336/#comment-57494

I'd be very surprised if he were to take up any offer to have his views challenged, here or anywhere else.

I'de be very surprised if his parents allowed him... No one wants to subject their children to abuse...

If you are making a general and blanket reference to the regulars here at CW.com, then I am personally offended by that remark.

Not general at all. Very specific.. :D

But, this not about me.. It's about the fact that even children are subject to personal attacks and name-calling if they don't spout appropriate political ideology...

In any event, Michale, I checked out Mr. Pearson's video and his personal attack on President Obama.

So, you are saying that personal attacks on a President are wrong??

Since when??? :D

Michale

I'm surprised and saddened by your comments here because they seem to indicate that you hold this forum in such disrespect ... ?

a political forum where a sad and pathetic angry bully and a bunch of ideological fanatics can insult him, attack him and call him names..

If you are making a general and blanket reference to the regulars here at CW.com, then I am personally offended by that remark.

I'd be very surprised if he were to take up any offer to have his views challenged, here or anywhere else.

Are you being purposefully vague? I almost hate to ask but, do you have a link?

The sad and pathetic angry bully who just attacked a 12 year old kid and called the kid an "asshat"..

Michale, you are beyond all hope ...

If you can't see anything wrong with an alleged grown man attacking a 12 year old kid over political ideology, then it's not me who is beyond hope... :^/

Michale

What ya think??

Michale

What?

CJ Pearson is a 12 year old middle schooler from Georgia..

Now, I know that political ideology trumps a LOT around here..

But it seems to me that there should be a line drawn.

It seems to me that some pathetic sad lonely angry bully should not be allowed to attack children because of political ideology..

Maybe it's just me...

You should contact Mr. Pearson and invite him to come to this site and make his arguments. We will then see how they stand up to a little scrutiny.

Yea, I can see how that would go...

"Mr and Mrs Pearson.. I would like to invite your little CJ to a political forum where a sad and pathetic angry bully and a bunch of ideological fanatics can insult him, attack him and call him names..

Would that be OK??"

Somehow, I think that CJ's parents just might balk at such an invitation..

But again.. Maybe that's just me... :^/

Michale

You should contact Mr. Pearson and invite him to come to this site and make his arguments. We will then see how they stand up to a little scrutiny.

What?

Because it's "diatribe" that the vast majority of Americans believe in..

Why would you stand by and let some angry, sad and pathetic bully attack a 12 year old kid??

Things sure have changed around here... :^/

Michale

To Michale, anyone saying what he wants to hear is a legitimate "source" of "facts."

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2015/02/20/Critics-White-House-conference-didnt-focus-on-domestic-terrorist-threats/2301424445177/#ixzz3Sa0uau7K

DHS warns rightwing extremists are a more immediate and greater danger to America than ISIS. Is that why Republicans want to shut down DHS? Is it why the Right wants Obama to declare "war" on extremists means Islamic extremists exclusively?

Asshats like CJ Pearson claim to revere the American ideal of religious freedom while promoting a war on Islam in defense of Christianity. The antithesis of constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom. The only religion CJ Pearson believes should be free is his.

He hypes terrorist activity ten thousand miles away as a far greater danger to American security than terrorism right here in America. All the while, justifying and validating domestic terrorists by joining them in attacking American government and implying American government is illegitimate.

The Right have no interest in fighting, or even recognizing, American terrorists from the Right, only foreign terrorists. Because they hate America and are far more interested in waging a Holy War than they are in American security. The America the Right claims to love exists only in their fantasies. While they are boosters of the first and second amendments, in support of domestic terrorism, the rest of the Constitution they hate.

They hate religious freedom encouraging atheists and religions other than Christianity believing they are as good as Christians, with just as many rights as Christians, and preventing Christianity from being the official religion of America.

They hate the constitution granting supremacy to the federal government over state governments.

They hate that the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law to everyone, no matter their race, sex, sexual orientation, citizenship, or religious beliefs.

The President has it exactly right. It isn't Islamic terrorists we need to fight. It's terrorist extremists, whatever their motivation, or religious affiliation; with those located here, in America, first and foremost.

We cannot defeat terrorist extremists by killing them all. We have to undercut their motivations, prevent extremists from developing, attack extremism through education and resolving legitimate grievances; not simply trying to exterminate those who embrace extremism and terrorism.

While "war" is a convenient, and overused, label, not all wars are the same. The war against terrorist extremists is a police action. A fight against criminals and criminal behaviors. If all ISIS wanted was to establish an independent state they'd have every right to do so unhindered by American intervention. It's their crimes we are fighting. Not their religion.

That's so bizarre. Why would you opt to reprint that kind of diatribe here?

Michale

Exactly why is it "full of crap"???

Seems refreshingly honest to me.

Especially coming from a 12 year old black kid from Georgia....

Michale

McConnell simply needs to eliminate the filibuster option for legislation and pass the DHS budget with a majority..

Then it's all on Obama if he vetos the legislation...

Problem solved.

Michale

I don't know who CJ Pearson is but this person is ... how would you put it ... right, full of crap!

This is beyond the pale, Michale, even by your standards.

Here in America, we don’t allow the government to take away what we work for but we continue to work harder so that we may continue to succeed.”
-CJ Pearson

Well said, Mr Pearson....

Michale

With two exceptions, no one here in Weigantia has any moral or ethical foundation to call ANYONE on the Right a liar..

If lying is a problem, then I would (with the utmost respect, of course.. :D ) recommend that the Left cleans it's own house first...

Michale

Please....

That's like Rush Limbaugh accusing someone else of being a political fanatical blowhard... :D

Michale

Let me help you out... :D

http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/02/20/bill-oreillys-talking-points-memo-22015-airing-tonight-8pm-et

But what I find so amazing is the attention that Weigantians are paying towards O'reilly, but nothing from ya'all about Brian Williams..

Which simply proves what I said above. Accepting lies from those one politically agrees with, but rejecting lies from those one politically disagrees with makes one as bad as those who tell the lies to further their agenda, whatever that agenda may be..

Wouldn't you agree?? :D

Michale

[43] Where did you hear your side?? From an MSNBC reporter??

No. I heard it from Bill O'Reilly right here:

"Moral acceptability" is also misleading. As "morals" are by definition situational. A great many wrongs have been, and are morally acceptable. Murder, rape, torture, slavery, have all been "morally acceptable" at one time or another.

Legitimate principles are "variable principles." "Principles" that are not influenced or varied based upon actual situations obtaining are called "prejudices." Prejudgment. Making decisions irrespective of actual facts, not "principles."

"Principles" are applied to situations based on facts. "Prejudices" are applied to situations in spite of facts.

People are not perfect. Striving for perfection, a willingness to change and improve, is good. Believing one has attained perfection, refusing to change, is wrong, unhealthy, and self-delusional.

No reporter covering the Vietnam War from a hotel suite in Paris got to truthfully claim they were in "combat situations" during Vietnam, because Paris was not a combat zone in the Vietnam war. Just as Buenos Aires was not a combat zone in the Falkland War.

Anyone suggesting Buenos Aires was a combat zone during the Falkland War is lying. Now, Michale, as Bill-O claims to have done, hasn't explicitly claimed Buenos Aires was a combat zone. He's trying to lie by misleading with nominally factual claims that are misrepresented, as Bill-O claims to have done.

But then, stating that Michale's comment is a lie is redundant.

Conversely, of course, if a lie supporting a political agenda that you DON'T happen to agree with morally unacceptable??

You see my point??

Speaking as someone who is not politically/ideological enslaved I have to ask.."

Lying to achieve a political agenda is wrong. Any agenda. Manipulating people to agree with you is not the same as convincing people to agree with you. The latter is people exercising their right to self-determination, the former is you usurping that right and imposing your will on others.

Unlike Conservatives I believe in America's ideals. Not a mythical America of white superiority and exceptionalism. Nor do I revere an America of the past. I'm proud of America as a living, maturing, and evolving country driving to be better than it is, or was, in a world made better than it is, or was.

And the foundational principle of America was, and is, that people have a right to self-determination. To make their own decisions about their own lives. Master their own fates. Not to be ordered or directed by a single individual or group of individuals.

We protect free speech so people have access to the information they need to make informed choices. Lying to spin events is intentionally trying to deprive of the information they need to make informed choices by manipulating the information people receive so the make the choices that you want.

That's abusing free speech, not simply exercising it.

From a variety of sources.. Including the video taped words of O'Reilly himself.. There are also the documents from CBS that were issued at the time congratulating those involved on "great coverage of the Falklands war...

Where did you hear your side?? From an MSNBC reporter??

Further, I have to ask... CAN a reporter that was in Laos or Cambodia during The *VIETNAM* War really claim they were in a combat zone??

Of course they can.. Because, for those who have actually SERVED their country in the military and actually BEEN in combat, they know that true military combat rarely observes and/or obeys after-the-fact politically correct niceties from ignorant morons and bullies..

Don't be offended... Ignorance is not a crime....

"There is no dishonor in not knowing everything."
-Sub Commander T'Al

It's only a crime when one claims to profess knowledge where no such knowledge exists..

Where right and wrong come into it, for me anyway, is in the intention behind the lie.

Great.. Now we are getting somewhere..

So, if the intention behind the lie is to con the American people into giving up something that they like, something that they WANT to keep, you would consider that kind of lying to be .. "morally questionable"??

" I mean, surely a Marine of Dawson's intelligence can be trusted to determine, on his own, which are the really important orders and which orders might, say, be morally questionable?"
-Tom Cruise, A FEW GOOD MEN

You are an intelligent person so I am sure you can see where I am going with this...

Is a lie that supports a political agenda morally acceptable if it's an agenda that you happen to agree with???

Conversely, of course, if a lie supporting a political agenda that you DON'T happen to agree with morally unacceptable??

You see my point??

Speaking as someone who is not politically/ideological enslaved I have to ask..

Are variable principles really any principles at all???

Michale

The insipid whine of a miserably lonely, angry mean-spirited bigoted bully drowned out what you were saying..

Is lying to further an agenda wrong??

Or is it being wrong soley dependent on the agenda that is being furthered??

Wanted to tie this one down...

Michale

[36] O'Reilly never claimed to be in the Falklands.

Really? Where did you hear that?

So, you think it's wrong for people to lie??

This isn't about what I think but since you asked, no, I don't think it is always wrong to lie. Certainly everyone does it at some time or other. Where right and wrong come into it, for me anyway, is in the intention behind the lie.

Now he's spinning it as never having explicitly claimed to have been in the Falklands. Don't know if that's true, don't care. His implicit claim to have been in the Falklands, by virtue of claiming to have been in combat zones, is still claiming to've been in the Falklands. And its still lying.

Bill's trying to spin his new lie by claiming the combat zone he was referring to was Buenos Aires. Another lie. Buenos Aires was not a combat zone. The Falklands were never in any position to take the war to Argentina! And you cannot be in a "combat situation" without being in a combat zone.

Yes, it's wrong for people to lie. Bill O'Reilly is an agitpropist employed by the agitprop Fox News. He is a professional liar, and lying is the business of Fox News.

Yea... *ONLY* the Bush family has EVER made any mistakes...

sssiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhh

Michale

I am always struck by how someone's sexuality is always such a big deal...

Michale

Bill O'Reilly lied about being in the Falklands and about saving the life of a cameraman.

That's exactly my point...

It's all in the spin..

O'Reilly never claimed to be in the Falklands. He said he covered the Falklands War.. And he did. And there is documentation from the time to prove he covered the Falklands War for CBS...

It's the same type of spin that the Left used to claim "Bush lied"....

But let's run with your side of the issue..

So, you think it's wrong for people to lie??

Michale

[10] I would ask you what those "lies" exactly were, but I know ya got nothing..

Bill O'Reilly lied about being in the Falklands and about saving the life of a cameraman.

You lodge personal attacks all the time. You always have. I, on the other hand, did not. I made a personal observation about my own thought processes, and I posed a philosophical question. (#18)

That you took it so personally is an indication of your own insecurity, or guilt. That you chose to respond with a personal attack is an indication of your penchant for lodging them, not mine.

If you find my descriptions of questionable behavior to be descriptive of you personally, and an "attack" on you personally, then, as I've advised you before, stop engaging in the behaviors you find so unflattering.

I will not be bullied by you into ceasing accurately describing questionable behaviors.--Yours, or anyone else's.

[30]"Mistakes were made" - The Bush family slogan

Oh I see! Good slogan for them.

Is it even possible to be so in denial that you actually believe Fox news is truthful and not have a pathology of mental aberration?

One of the things I am most proud of here is that I have never resorted to personal attacks on fellow Weigantians..

Until now...

I may be many things...

Overbearing.. Obnoxious... Arrogant...

But there is one thing that I have never been..

And that is mean-spirited.

You are a bully. You attack anyone that disagrees with you with vile and disgusting personal insults and attacks..

You are a mean-spirited and lonely bully and frankly not worth my time anymore..

http://politicalconundrum.lefora.com/reply/47154150/MISTAKES-WERE-MADE-THE-BUSH-FAMILY-SLOGAN

When discussing the DHS funding dilemma, I’m wondering about the part CPAC is likely to play in this developing drama. Scheduled for 4 days from Wednesday, Feb 25 to Saturday, Feb 28, CPAC will have booked its speakers and panellists well in advance, long before the DHS issue became a Republican headache threatening to expand to migraine proportions.

So, how will CPAC impact on McConnell’s range of options for resolving the DHS dilemma? Well, that will partially depend on who has CPAC commitments and when, as against how many ‘sitting’ days are scheduled for the Senate next week. Because the Congressional calendar for 2015 has yet to be finalized (it’s the end of February already and the Republican majorities aren’t organized enough to finalize the calendar for this month let alone the rest of the year!), there’s no way of telling how many ‘sitting’ days are planned for next week. Presumably, the plan is to sit through to Thursday to enable all Republicans to attend the final two days of CPAC. If that is the case, then Congressional Republicans have just 4 days before the deadline to settle their dispute and pass a funding bill of some description.

Further complicating that plan, is the likelihood that McConnell’s majority will be reduced by at least 4 from Wednesday onwards when the presidential wannabes – Cruz, Graham, Paul and Rubio – take off for CPAC. Admittedly it will be much easier for him to get a clean bill passed if Cruz is not there to disrupt the vote. Perhaps that is part of McConnell’s plan; certainly scheduling a fourth vote for Monday morning on the current wording of the bill is a token move at best, designed no doubt to give tea partiers like Cruz the appearance that McConnell is on their side. It may be a very different story come Wednesday.

[23] Mopshell, mistakes were made.

Not sure to which of my comments this refers...

A couple of things missing from the argument that I had hoped some someone would point out is that...

A: It is congresses function to sufficiently fund the government and pass legislation to govern the country. We used to pass budgets and have great battles over legislation that have produced, perhaps, not the best laws but ones that have worked for the greater good. Somewhere along the line congress decided that legislating through budgeting is the best road for all Americans and have reduced the role of legislation passed to that of self aggrandizement or how to reallocate income to the wealthiest people. By legislating in this manner they have in essence given themselves a nice pay raise, god forbid that they work more than 132 days (even less considering half the time they are not even there for work days and the budget really only occupies 30-45 works days) to actually get work done that benefits the people.

and....

B: The shutdown of the DHS will also effect small businesses that hold government contracts supporting "essential" personnel and missions. I happen to administer two contracts that we must continue to fulfill during government shutdowns with no certain guarantee that we will get paid for our services. To put it mildly it has the potential to bankrupt the company given that we are racking up around 250k to 300k in expenditures for any given week. Assume the DHS shuts down for lets just say 2 weeks and congress in their infinite wisdom decides to not pay for those services rendered during the shut down we go bankrupt, so... not only do I lose my income for the period of the shutdown, I lose my source of income.

The Dems have missed the boat yet again by not messaging that the shut down of the DHS not only endangers our national security but the health of middle class Americans and small business owners. The Repubs have also missed the boat by not passing a clean bill and forcing the Dems to the table to pass real true immigration reform. The current situation is not surprising to me given that Washington long ago forsake the will of the American "people" and instead decided to support the will of their corporate benefactors.

Only Congress gets a whole week off to celebrate a single day.

While I too have had thoughts of slavery when jury duty rears its evil head, I'm forced to concede that if we want a jury system we must all share the burden of jury duty. We do want a jury system. And jury trials are also mandated in the constitution.

As for the pay?! We also don't want professional jurors. And it is both a burden of citizenship, and resulting from a civic duty. So token pay to cover expenses is appropriate. Or at least arguably appropriate. Though low pay certainty does nothing to lesson the burden.

Now, as to just how "equally" we all share that burden... That's a whole 'nuther issue!

I had just left PATCO when, during contract negotiations, they decided to demonstrate just what was wrong with FAA regulations the union objected to by obeying them literally.--Reagan called the result a union sponsored slow-down of air traffic. Then he famously fired all air traffic controllers who walked off the job "illegally" simply because they had no contract.--
Slavery being not quite as illegal as the 14th amendment might lead one to believe.

St. Reagan's highly acclaimed public assault on public unions was even more galling, and dishonest, as the impasse wasn't over wages, as Reagan implied. Controllers were objecting to being forced to take shortcuts, for which they, personally and legally, must assume full responsibility, because the system as mandated was unworkable. And because Washington lacked the political will to face down the airlines, and interfere with airline profits! over little things like the safety of air travelers, or the amount of undue stress placed upon air traffic controllers!

St. Reagan, however, fearlessly and selflessly confronted the obvious assault on our federal system by dastardly unions, and, in spite of the cost, emerged victorious! He was, regrettably, then forced to implement the very reforms, PATCO stuck over, since the lack of qualified controllers meant keeping air travel flowing and safe required efficiency trump all other considerations. Airlines would just have to take a bath on profits and learn to adjust.--All because of the evil union PATCO. No one could reasonably fault St. Regan's administration!

So, in a political masterstroke, St. Reagan managed to galvanize public opinion and attain stratospheric approval ratings for his heroic principled stand in defense of federalism against the evil of public unions. And he only had to screw federal workers, the general public, and the airline industry to do it.

But he protected the FAA! He protected his administration. Needed reforms were made without ever admitting that FAA regulations were ever at fault to begin with. They were made because of the evil union PATCO, not St. Regan. And they were made while making it crystal clear that the federal government would not be coerced into doing the right thing by union pressure. Even if the changes were necessary.

So, I've had personal experience with both State mandated slavery and Republican politics. Which, in my experience, tend to screw everyone else while serving solely to enhance politicians' reputations by deceiving an uninformed electorate.

Yes. Actually, that's pretty much the reason.

Doesn't having to "infiltrate" a protest to "make sure they are kept running" make you "outside agitators?"

There's state Rep David Moore from Montana who has put up a bill banning tight clothing as "indecent exposure". This includes yoga pants, cycling and athletic gear, and Speedo swimwear. The proposal aims to expand the existing indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men’s, and any garment that “gives the appearance or simulates” a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.

Meanwhile in Wyoming, state Rep Harlan Edmonds was ordered out of the House Labor, Health and Social Services Committee meeting Friday, after proposing an amendment to a bill that would make it effective when “hell freezes over” instead of the date of July 1. At the time the Committee was discussing adding LGBT protections to Wyoming's civil rights laws.

The last isn't silly, it's downright dangerous. Kansas legislators, concerned about mental health medications (which are expensive) decided that the fact that the drugs are being dispensed is the problem - and that some form of alternate care provided outside of the doctor patient framework is preferred. In other words, lawmakers who are not doctors are making medical decisions based solely on cost in reckless disregard for the needs of very ill patients.

In a report, read by head anchorwoman Kathleen Bade, regarding a rape suspect, San Diego Fox News 5 used a picture of President Obama overlaid with a caption reading NO CHARGES. The image remained in view for the duration of the report.

Asked why there was no on-air acknowledgment or apology for the error, assignment editor Mike Wille said: “They really don’t do that when it’s a small thing like that.”

Seven days after the "mistake", the Fox affiliate finally got around to an apology of sorts - but it was an apology to their viewers, not to the President, and it was posted to their website, not given on air.

Alabama marriage equality:

This still remains unresolved, in spite of Judge Granade clarifying her ruling over a week ago. As of Thurs Feb 19, only 48 of 67 counties were issuing marriage licences to same sex couples. Six counties are not issuing any licenses to anyone and 11 counties are issuing licenses only to heterosexual couples.

Meantime, Judge Roy Moore is remaining firm on his claim that his definition of marriage is based on God's Law which is above all other laws. A number of Republican groups are standing with him including the Ku Klux Klan. They posted the following on their website:

The Mississippi Klan salutes Alabama's chief justice Roy Moore, for refusing to bow to the yoke of Federal tyranny. The Feds have no authority over individual States marriage laws. The fudgepackers from Hollywood and all major news networks are in shock that the good people from the heart of Dixie are resisting their Imperialist, Communist Homosexual agenda!
Alabama has a Constitutional amendment, that clearly says marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman. But much as they have since the 2nd war for independence was lost in 1865, the Federal Government by way of it's foreign masters seems set to push this abomination, on the God fearing people of Alabama. Will they send Jack Booted thugs to enforce it? Remains to be seen, but a simple study of history will show they once burned, destroyed and looted the state of Alabama. Georgia was burned almost to the ground, and in our state, Meridian Mississippi was destroyed by blue bellied sledgehammers in one day.

Let today be the day, that the outside forces that have ruled this nation since the end of the War of Northern Aggression be given notice, "The God fearing White man will no longer stand for your immorality, your Illegal unjust judges and laws. Your attempts to turn us into a third world cesspool must be defeated. Unlike the 1950's and 60's we see you clearly for the enemy you are. Until we drive the spear of God and truth through your lying cold black hearts, the Klan will leave the light on for you.

No word yet as to when this march will be.

Lol Its comments like that from the Right that have me seriously doubting their sanity. Is it even possible to be so in denial that you actually believe Fox news is truthful and not have a pathology of mental aberration?

Just one of many examples of government violating the letter of the law out of expediency.--Which, somehow, fails to violate "the rule of law." Unlike, say, people who immigrate illegally merely to avoid starvation, slavery, torture, or murder. A little thing like survival is no excuse for violating the law! Government convenience? Now that's an excuse.

Lol You're kidding right? Anyone who leaks State secrets is lucky to receive any Intel at all! The United States doesn't exist to serve Israel. Our support is not an entitlement. Netanyahu doesn't get that. And neither does Michale.--And intel about the arms negotiations were withheld, not Intel on Iran's nuclear program.

Very well. "I was in the reflecting pool!! I was in the reflecting pool!"

Of course, you ignore all the Left Winger sites that posted the ISIL torture/execution of the Jordanian pilot..

Hypocrisy much?? :D
