• Is a Major University Threatening Action Against a Student for ‘Intimidating’ Her Alleged Rapist?

  March 4, 2013 at 7:39pm

  Some really good questions on this one….
  1) WHY is a student honor court even allowed to rule in this case? It’s a criminal offense, the REAL legal system should handle it.

  2) Where is her advocate? She’s been through a violent crime; someone should be helping her through the legal system.

  3) Does she have a legal recourse against this ‘honor court’?

• D.C. Firefighters NOT Facing Discipline for Obama Event, But Dept. Is ‘Reviewing its Internal Protocols’

  In reply to afvetfirewoman.

  LOFOA’s got it right: if you’re in a hole, you cut the non-essentials. Like the Interior Secretary’s bathroom remodel, unnecessary travel, etc. You buy only what you absolutely need and work at paying off the debts.

  What Obama has done is threaten public safety. I would think that would be an impeachable offense?

• ‘Obama’s Mess’: Just What the Sequester Fiasco Needed…An Explosive PAC Ad

  Hannity already does that on his FOX News Channel program. Also on his radio program.

• ‘By All Means, Leave’: The Amazingly Blunt Response One State Rep. Gave a Citizen Who Wrote Him Opposing Concealed Carry in Schools

  In reply to JMMars.

  She should have done some research before she moved to Wyoming if that was how she felt about guns.

  And unfortunately, the representative would have an uphill fight getting elected here.

• U.S. Gov’t Refuses to Help Churches Damaged and Destroyed in Natural Disasters — But Should It?

  February 24, 2013 at 5:05pm

  In reply to Carlinpa.

  Notyerhucklberry: “I believe any ‘church’ that has a tax free status, should throw it away and pay taxes on offerings. This way they are free from the government rules on political leanings and the like.”

  The pastors of our founding days and up until the 1950s spoke loudly and often about political matters. AND we often had pastors in the state legislature.
  Separation of church and state is NOT in our Constitution. It’s a reference borrowed from Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists.

• French Court Nixes Socialist President’s 75% Tax Rate: ‘Unfair’

  December 29, 2012 at 4:53pm

  In reply to Snowleopard {gallery of cat folks}.

  Wonder if Hollande is bound by the decision, or if he’ll try to executive-order his way around it?
  And if our government is watching this at all?

  Al J–the age range of the current Justices is 52 (Kagan)-79 (Ginsburg). In fact, Ginsburg, Bryer, Kennedy, and Scalia are the four oldest Justices. How much longer they’ll be on the Court remains to be seen.

• With ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Looming, Guess Who Obama Is Giving Raises to…

  December 29, 2012 at 3:49pm

  In reply to RedMage.

  Why are any of them getting raises? Especially those who have blocked any budget bills for the last three years or pushed legislation through without anyone reading it.

  Why hasn’t this rule-by-executive-order ever been challenged?

  Yes, I’ve tried writing my congresspeople.
  One sends a form letter back (Boxer).
  One sends a form letter, but at least references what I wrote about (Feinstein).
  One, I think, simply disregards what I’m saying because I don’t agree with it (Waters).

• Hobby Lobby: Go Ahead and Fine Us, We Won’t Comply With ‘Morning-After’ Mandate

  In reply to LBJDIDIT1963.

  We don’t have a Hobby Lobby here that I know about. Would support them if we did! (gee, time to take out the rubber stamps and fun scissors again!)

• Here’s a List of Tax Hikes & Fees Coming With Obamacare Next Year

  December 26, 2012 at 3:31pm

  In reply to nilo.

  My parents and I tried to explain about Obama to my oldest niece and my nephew. Unfortunately, while my mother and I voted against Obama, the niece and nephew voted FOR him.

  I have another niece who will be of voting age in the next presidential election. Hope she watches and learns from what’s happening.

  In the meantime, the House (where all tax law is supposed to start) can hold up funding for Obamacare. We have a midterm election in 2014, barring any impeachment proceedings.

• Here’s a List of Tax Hikes & Fees Coming With Obamacare Next Year

  In reply to TwoLazy.

  Oh, Congress won’t be exempt, Twolazy. Had they disregarded Pelosi’s advice and READ the bill, Congress would have found out that they will be subject to the bill (starting 2014).

  Members of Congress and their staff will only be offered health care plans through the exchange or plans otherwise established by the bill (instead of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program that they currently use).
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obamacare#Effective_by_January_1.2C_2014

  ^ Public Law 111 – 148, section 1312: “… the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are (I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or (II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act).”

  Let’s see how fast they carve out an exemption for themselves, or the unions demand an exemption for federal workers.
