• Dem. Senator, Others Use Okla. Tornadoes to Hit GOP Over Sandy Relief Bill, ‘Climate Change’

  May 21, 2013 at 11:41am

  I will get worried about global warming when they quit insisting that the fix is more socialism and more taxes. WE ARE BROKE. The federal houses have been inundated with “experts” warning of global warming for decades. The committee system has prevented any discussion of the problem in a balanced way and with an eye toward how to pay for everything proposed. Carbon Dioxide levels have been triple the current fraction beyond the time frames mentioned yet we and the animals of the planet managed to survive it.
  God made the Earth adequate for the time that we will be here. We can make it worse but I doubt that we can make it better. The secular humanist have been chanting “global warming” with the enthusiasm of a pack of witches trying to speak evil into existence. If we had the power to change the climate, we would already be abusing it right now. It would be turned into a weapon of war. The pro global warming speech simply presumes that truth is a matter of a vote. It assumes that the elites always know best. It assumes that all of the good people are for it and the bad people are against it. It assumes that the economy can be manipulated with precision by government intervention. It presumes that there will be no unintended consequences and after exhausting ourselves financially, we will then have plenty left over to fix those unintended consequences.
  Including all cost in an activity is very interesting. Obamacare shows how well they do that.

• Pat Robertson Has Some Tough Advice for Cheated-On Women: Do You Agree With Him?

  Forgiveness can be a form of self defense but it can also be a way to enable future bad behavior. We may be commanded to forgive but we are not commanded to enable or encourage future bad behavior, better known as sin.

• German Homeschooling Family’s Request for Asylum Denied by the U.S. Government

  Just because Germany imposes a universal law or rule does not mean that people of conscience are not worthy of any consideration. Universal tolerance of slavery did not make it right. Even if you did not have any slaves, that still did not make it right. We have sanctuary cities for illegals all over this country because people in local governments think that it is OK to run away from an unfair economic system, Socialism, even if they must run to an economic system the Left hates. School systems have evolved well beyond the basics, most times, at the expense of the basics. If you can not choose to not participate in indoctrination, I am not sure you can claim to live in a fee country. Maybe these Germans are just tired of paying to support the Greeks and all of the other nations that are in trouble in Europe.

• Which Prominent Faith Leader Is Now Claiming to Have Been Targeted by the IRS?

  May 15, 2013 at 9:36am

  Graham’s assertion of being targeted would be proven if the liberal wing of the religious sector who promote social justice, gay marriage and cashing in the Great Commission in favor of social activism were unmolested by the IRS. I am speaking of people like Rick Warren. I wonder if the New Apostolic Reformation types, who were heavily supporting Rick Perry in Texas and Florida got the IRS treatment?
  The problem here is that the organization that is accused has the information that would convict them but there is not higher authority to get the investigation going except a worthless or complicit congress. We have an administration that loves to investigate allegations and then complain about requests for clarifications on matters that have become “old” due to their stonewalling.

• Which Prominent Faith Leader Is Now Claiming to Have Been Targeted by the IRS?

  May 15, 2013 at 9:19am

  The IRS targets well known people. They have admitted that they do it decades ago to increase compliance by the non-movie star and non-famous, Joe-the-Plumber-type of person. People like Westley Snipes, What’s her name Hill and Redd Foxx should have known that their taxes were going to be audited, especially if you are not paying them. Billy Graham never took an impressive salary for his work in the ministry and would not be worth the trouble even if you could find something. This is totally different from the long list of “prosperity” preachers who seem to own many large homes and a small air force just to move around from event to event.
  Proverbs 24: 21,22,23
  My son, Fear the LORD and the king and meddle not with those given to change.
  For their calamity shall rise suddenly and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
  These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgement.

  Get some shoe polish and claim to be related to Obama’s Aunt Zatuni. I believe she is still here and still on welfare.

• Obama Releases Official Statement on IRS Scandal: ‘Intolerable’ & ‘Inexcusable’

  May 15, 2013 at 12:55am

  I would like to know how much government labor, infrastructure, copy paper, postage and so forth was diverted from real IRS work to serve as opposition research for the Obama Administration? The Obama Administration has graduated from getting labor from the unions to advance an agenda to getting labor from the government to change the outcome of elections. This is like the county road commissioner using county equipment and asphalt to build a driveway at his home. We were better off with Nixon.

• ‘Sinister’ and ‘Chilling’: MSNBC Host Takes Aim at DOJ’s Secretive Seizure of AP Phone Records

  May 14, 2013 at 9:44am

  In reply to IndyGuy.

  I thought they were trying to recover their reputations after whoring around with Leftists. Maybe they need to be inoculated against the perception that they work for the White House directly so that they can again be an effective and credible means of delivering another dose of Socialism in 2014.

• Angelina Jolie’s Stunning Announcement About Her Health

  May 14, 2013 at 9:34am

  The person who could have cured her cancer might have been aborted by now. The justification for the operation sounds a lot like the justification for ruining the economy so we can have Utopia with a tiny carbon foot print.

• How High Up Does This Go? New Report Implicates Washington Officials in IRS Scandal

  May 13, 2013 at 10:26pm

  I would like to know if the investigations by the IRS were targeted to barely blue or purple states. This would be an example of election tampering but my state will not recognize tampering unless the tampering can be shown to change the outcome. The fact that the Cincinnati office, in Ohio, was implicated might suggest that they wanted to “make a difference” in Ohio, a swing state. I doubt that targeting a Tea Party in Tennessee or Texas would have netted very much gain but Florida or Ohio might give more bang for the buck. If the pattern of investigation is random, then the frequency of audits in each state should track the proportion of congressional seats. Targeting competitive states shows that the effort was done by people with direction from the higher ups.
