• MSNBC Host: ‘I Thank God and Country…Abortion Was There to Save Me’

  January 25, 2013 at 9:53pm

  Said the baby: “I thank God and Country for my life because abortion was not able to be used as contraception”. Oh, wait…

  And, I’m not sure what he means by his “strong family” he has now… not sure I want to.

• Houston Waiter Speaks Out: I Refused a Customer Service Because he Insulted 5-Year-Old With Down Syndrome

  In reply to wowjustwow.

  Most schools are funded by the state, not just special needs schools. Even some states require books to be bought at the beginning of the school year ($55/per student when I went to school). Not socialism. Besides, socialism supporters also believe special needs children need to be aborted. Under socialism there would be no need for special needs schools.

• A Growing Trend: More Restaurants Cutting Employees’ Hours in Preparation for ‘Obamacare’

  January 11, 2013 at 3:58am

  I have friends that own restaurants. Two do not take a paycheck because the profits are not such that they can be paid and work a full time job elsewhere while also putting in full time hours at their restaurants. The other takes a minimal paycheck when he can and his wife works as a waitress to get tips. He pays his staff at least minimum wage and gives them full time hours. He wants to open a second restaurant, but that would take him over the minimum 50 employees, so he will not. He would have created more jobs. His employees love working there and he has very little turnover. He does not have the profits for ObamaCare, he doesn’t even have insurance for himself and his family. He had a heart attack in the last year from stress and has to pay those bills now.

  My sister owned a business for years, insurance for her and her husband runs $1400/mo. She sold her business a couple of years ago, financing it herself, so she was no longer working, just collecting the monthly payments from the new owners. She decided to go to work for Sam’s Wholesale so she could get insurance at a better rate. She was told employees didn’t get insurance until they work full time for 6 months. She has now been there 6 months & worked full time. She was told that it didn’t matter, no employee gets insurance until they have been there for 2 years. She is quitting.

• ‘Why Did They Kill Him?’ Questions Linger After Mich. Police Shoot Homeless Man 46 Times

  August 20, 2012 at 4:34pm

  So, his “family” has crawled out of the woodwork to cry foul. No doubt they will be suing for millions soon. Where exactly were they when this man needed a home and needed psychiatric help? Could it be that they were afraid of him themselves?

• Judge Says Accused Fort Hood Gunman Can Have His Beard Forcibly Shaved to Comply With Army Regulations

  July 26, 2012 at 2:24pm

  Let me get this straight… the military is putting it’s foot down on regs requiring enlisted personnel to be clean shaven, but allowed direct communication with Al Quaeda for 10 months without saying or doing a thing???

• Gay Country Singer Chely Wright Tells Current TV How She Reconciles Her Sexuality With Her Faith in Jesus

  July 2, 2012 at 3:50am

  If you know your Bible, you will know when it is twisted to fit someone’s agenda. Fugelsang twists quotes from The Book of Ruth to infer that the quote is in regards to two lesbian women. In truth, the quote is the widow Ruth making a vow to Naomi, her widowed mother-in-law, that she would not leave her destitute and alone.

• Gallup: These Are the Most ‘Economically Confident’ States

  The map on the front headlines page doesn’t match the map in this article.

• Radio Silence From Researchers Drilling Into 20-Million-Year-Old Antarctic Lake

  February 6, 2012 at 2:53am

  Maybe they are doing this, but they can look with satellite to see if there is still movement at the camp & if any photos were taken around the time of the loss of communication it would show whether there was an explosion.

• Oscar-Nominated Director of Anti-Fracking Movie Arrested During Congressional Hearing

  February 2, 2012 at 12:44am

  It state in the article that this man was informed that the meeting was being webcast and that an ABC News crew was also turned away. The news crew did not create a ruckus. This man was obviously wanting to get his name in the news to bring attention to himself and his crusading, films, etc.

  As for the fracking movie and mentioning Oklahoma’s earthquakes, the number of earthquakes here in Oklahoma (yes, I live in Oklahoma and feel the tremors) are NO more than we have on average every year since records have been kept… which is much, much longer than fracking has been used.

• Garth Brooks Suing Oklahoma Hospital Over Naming Rights

  January 18, 2012 at 4:26pm

  Yukon is a part of the Oklahoma City, OK area, it is also Garth’s hometown. I live in Oklahoma City and remember when Garth donated the $500,000. Yukon needed a hospital and the hospital representatives were elated with the donation. They went on our local news stations raving about the donation and how they were going to name a wing of the hospital after Garth’s beloved mother. What their motivation could be for not fulfilling their agreement with Garth is a complete mystery. All hospitals name wings for their biggest donors, so naming the wing after Garth’s mother is not some new idea. Garth does so much for so many people directly, not necessarily going through charities. When he sees a need, he just acts on it. This is the one thing he did publicly and this is the treatment he gets. And, most of the comments left here sound like they are coming from Occupiers.
