draconian measures absolutely necessary

They voted on the Baucus amendment and the Schumer amendment and both failed to pass. I find some of the comments very interesting from both sides. I will not give my comments on either side's remarks although I saw some really hateful speeches. I decided to look for any news reports on this but it doesn't tell the whole story. BTW, Baucus' proposal was to let tax rates rise on Jan. 1 on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples fell on a vote of ...

can totally ignore Obama's gun-running escapades in Benghazi, and the monthly lie detector tests for intimidation of the CIA agents who were there. Not a mention of it this morning. Suppression of news - isn't that what Communists do? I know we should be used to it by now, but my God. He could commit a murder on camera and none of the sheep would care. It's like they really did drink the Kool-Aid. ...

All eyes were on Michelle Obama when she arrived at the China State Dinner held Friday at the White House in Washington, D.C. The First Lady looked effortlessly posh, donning an off-the-shoulder black silk crepe mermaid gown by designer Vera Wang, as she welcomed China's president, Xi Jinping, as the evening's guest of honor. http://news.yahoo.com/everyones-losing-minds-over-michelle-173300182.html ...

I hate when I am sitting here typing at 2:30 in the morning and a spider is crawling up the wall! I am absolutely terrified of spiders to the point that it is hard for me to kill them. I did it though, used the fly swatter, hopefully it died as it is behind furniture so it is hard to see but now I really do not want to put my feet on the floor to continue typing. Having real panic feeling like it is coming out from there, big and ******. One time, I was cleaning my house ...

There has been this crazy movement in the States that have their legislatures and executive branch all in the Republican party. They have pushed through anti-bargaining legislation, they are trying to take away the people's right to vote through various shennanigans, they are trying to deregulate the polluting industries, and now they are even trying to force women into getting transvaginal ultrasounds. I didn't go and vote the last election, but I certainly will ...

anti-reform guy from Americans For Prosperity into ground about their lack of any positive contributions to health care - only criticisms. Chris had him pinned to the wall for the whole interview. It was beautiful. reminded me of the scene in the Matrix when Neo just flicked the bullets away with his wrists. AFP is the group that sponsored the Columbus Ohio rally. the mysterious man in the suit and tie badgering the disabled man was holding an AFP sign. Its so ...

Saving the Memory of Matthew Snyder I’m sure you all remember Fred Phelps’ noxious Westboro Baptist Church organization that goes around carrying “God Hates Fags” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” signs at military funerals. Well, a father of a Marine who received this nasty treatment sued Phelps & Co. for defamation and emotional distress. He won, but Phelps appealed. This is how it ended up: The father of a Marine killed in Iraq and whose funeral was p ...

"Frankly, I'm not even sure what are values are anymore in this country.

I saw it proposed as an idea today that when the next Democratic president is elected in 2016 that they should nominate Barack Obama as the next Supreme Court Justice.

Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe had some choice words Tuesday night in response to a question he got accusing him of harboring “white nationalist” sympathies. Rowe posted a question submitted to him on his Facebook page that accused the TV host’s advocacy for the skilled trades of amounting to anti-intellectualism, and therefore racism. A man named Chuck Adkins asked, “One of the tenants of white nationalism is that college educated people are academic elitests. Comment? No? I’m n ...
