BP barred from government contracts

Michigan legislator Lisa Brown was barred from speaking on the house floor last week after using the word "vagina" in a statement about proposed abortion regulations. If you haven't heard about it, the story can be found in any of the major news outlets. I particularly enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek piece: http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/06/the_word_vagina_it_s_time_to_regulate_against_it_.html ...

Once they realized that her shirt was actually MIT (school) and not for Mitt Romney they let her vote. WHAT THE?????? (left out the swear word since some don't like that). You've got to be joking. All the Obama suppporters are for that????? Basically what it is saying is that if you support Mitt Romney you are not allowed to vote. Oh yeah, then when they realized she was wearing a school shirt and not a Romney shirt they "allowed" her to vote. I am outraged that li ...

she didn't sign her newborn over to the Church's adoption agency after it's birth, since Mormons think adoption is preferrable to single parenting. He pulled rank on 23yo parishioner, Peggy Hayes, in the name of "religious counseling," during a home visit. When she dared to show her dismay, he threatened her with excommunication, which would in turn make her ineligibly for entrance past the Pearly Gates, and sentence her to an eternity of burning in he!!. Of course, ...

If you are offered a position and accepted it - how long would you wait for a contract to be sent to you? They want me to start next Monday and I accepted the position on Tuesday. ...

How I wish that people knew more about the history of this nation, and about the expansion of government with more agencies, more laws, more regulations, more inspections, and other impediments to personal success that has occurred especially since the 1930s, and in which NONE of the parties in power have been blameless. Folks, we now have officials shutting down lemonade stands and fining people for collecting rainwater from their own roofs. If you have a koi pond in your back yard, the ...

Government: Must Worship the beast. I didn't care for Bush too much, but even HE wouldn't do something like this to poor families. He is beyond evil. He doesn't have to do this at all.

Why do Democrats think it okay for Obama to force us to buy health insurance but for government to stay out of our bedrooms? Why is it okay in some cases but not in others. I am a healthy person and rarely need any healthcare. Why should I subsidize people who make unhealthy decisions? I think we need to have affordable catastrophic health insurance but we don't need to provide insurance for hang nails or the sniffles. ...

Because apparently you can then be responsible for the deaths of four people, but not face any kind of disciplinary action - or lose your job (read last paragraph). http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/202446.pdf ...

In the current fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing the views of the American people. Americans didn't ask for Obamacare, they don't want it, but now their insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work -- or firing them -- to avoid the law's mandates. Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your doctor, you can't ...

WSJ: Government Takeover of Student Loan Market Fails Miserably (Last paragraph sums it up) The government is now essentially in charge of the student loan market, and that’s not working out so well, The Wall Street Journal says in a Friday editorial. Thanks to a provision passed along with health-care reform in 2010, the Department of Education became the originator of roughly 90 percent of U.S. student loans. The results aren’t pretty, the paper points out. A whopping 35 percent ...

It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.Hubert H.

This is just too good not to share..... Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one pers ...

14 Reasons Why The U.S. Government Will Never Have A Balanced Budget Ever Again (Editors note: Here are 14 reasons for secession. Remember that a state that secedes from the Union leaves behind every one of these 14 reasons. No more Federal debt, no more Federal income taxes, no more Social Security, no more tyranny.) The United States government will never have another balanced budget again. Yes, you read that correctly. U.S. government finances have now reached a critical “tip ...

http://digitaljournal.com/article/344320 Ron Paul commented on the "domestic arms race" and the government's obvious preparation for civil unrest by suggesting that "[the government] does not know that in two months from now there's riots in the streets, but they know that there could be." Paul went on to explain that he does not believe the government necessarily believes that civil unrest in America is a certainty but that the elites at all levels of power are making preparati ...

The rise of the fourth branch of government Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University. There were times this past week when it seemed like the 19th-century Know-Nothing Party had returned to Washington.

The heads of those agencies, in turn, insisted they knew nothing about major decisions by the ...
