The question was about appeasing Islamic countries politically. You know, countries populated by the Good Muslims, the overwhelming majority of Muslims who adhere strictly to the peaceful part of the Religion of Peace. So didn’t Obama just equate them all with terrorists? With the adherents of the pedophiliac, barbaric, behead-at-the-drop-of-a-turban wing of Islam? Tsk tsk Obama. At least we have some transparency from that cretin’s administration now though. They know full well that Islamic countries … Read more
I claim no expertise in any aspect of financial matters. The stock market, Wall Street, how all that stuff works is close to a total mystery to me. As such, I rarely participate in discussions about those topics, opting instead, generally speaking, to just read and try to keep up. That gets harder when the discussions go much deeper than a basic level. The technicalities, legalities, and terminology all kind of turns me off, even … Read more
I just copied and pasted the title of this thread from the article I’m using to introduce the topic. The title seems to me to imply a leaning by the author against the decision not to fight the fire. I am purposely refraining from saying whether or not I share that leaning for the time being. I would prefer to see the facts as presented discussed/debated before I give my take.
For the record, I … Read more
This is tangentially about the SCOTUS hearing on ObamaCare that’s coming up in the first quarter of next year, but it’s not the crux of the subject I wish to comment on.
On March 20 – 22 of last year, I was in Washington D.C. for the vote to pass the health care bill. I had heard a few people suggest a gathering of some sort. Bachmann and some Tea Party notables mostly. For me … Read more
On Oct. 22, 2011, Sheriff Jon Lopey of Siskiyou County, CA hosted seven other sheriffs from CA and OR in a meeting for the purpose of stating their intentions to their constituents to make a united push against the federal government in matters mostly surrounding property rights, but inclusive in their declarations was the underlying meme that the federal government is, and has been for several years, infringing on the sovereign rights of their respective … Read more
Gotta love Breitbart. I do anyway. Inquiring conservatives have been trying to direct attention to Obama’s disgustingly imprudent relationships throughout his life. At every turn though, we were told that slammin’ his preacher was out of bounds, or his relationship with domestic terrorists from 25 years ago was stale and insignificant to his life now that he’s all grown up. We aren’t allowed to know anything about his education records or even anything he wrote … Read more
I am going to quote an article below that, when you read the second to last paragraph, you might believe was prompted by the recent killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki, but as you can see from the date in the title, it was written a little over a year ago. Because of that, I thought it better to start a new post, rather than take the Awlaki thread too far afield, but it is tangentially related … Read more
I’m a member of GOA. Decided that the NRA long-ago stopped representing my best interests in favor of serving their own political and corporate interests, so I took my money elsewhere. As a member of GOA, I get email alerts at least a couple of times a week about specific legislation or candidates that threaten 2nd Amendment rights, which always have a link to their “Political Action” page that automates writing your Representatives and Senators. … Read more
Judge upholds key parts of Alabama immigration enforcement law
Ah, I can feel the construction jobs coming back to Alabama as I type, reserved for Americans and/or legal residents.
One of the provisions upheld by Judge Blackburn is the section requiring that the immigration status of students be checked. While I personally don’t regard this as the most important provision, I put it at the top of this post specifically to draw a distinction between … Read more
Already fined $300, facing potential penalty of $500 per meeting
I realize there’s a pretty strong aversion to fundamentalist Christian orthodoxy around here, but surely no one can think this is a good idea….. Can they?
Chuck and Stephanie Fromm already have been fined $300 for holding Bible studies for their friends at their home, and they face the potential for additional fines of $500 for each study held, according to a legal team
