Obama Doesn’t Return Marine’s Salute, Shakes Hand Instead — Is This a Protocol Misstep?

May 24, 2013 at 12:38pm

I really wish that missing a salute was the worst thing that could be pinned on the President, but frankly, little things like that just accentuate the arrogance with which he proceeds to rip this country to shreds. But even there, I have to cut him some slack. The missed salute may have been inadvertant. With the responsibilities that he has weighing upon him, he may have been deep, deep in thought about how to overcome the slice he gets when hitting a golf ball off the tee.
‘Bigoted, Religious [Zealots]‘: High School Senior Allegedly Expelled, Charged With Felonies Over Gay Relationship With ‘Consenting’ Fellow Student

What does the state of Florida do when two fifteen year olds, both incapable of legally giving consent, have a sexual relationship? Both go to jail? Both charged with sexual battery?
Do the police have actual evidence of a physical relationship? Or are they merely relying on the word of the younger girl’s parents?
I’m not a defense lawyer, but I play one while watching the news. Unless one or both girls confess to the police that they were anything more than just good friends, a prosecutor could have a difficult time convicting the older girl in front of a jury. I’d skip the plea deal, do the trial in front of a, hopefully, sympathetic jury, then do the appeals if necessary.
“Rape” or “sexual battery” used to have meanings that did not vary based upon age, but were based upon the crime itself being one of non-consensual forced sexual contact. Then the “age of consent” clauses started getting thrown in, shortly after the time when fourteen year olds commonly married because they were “adults”. Then the “age gap” laws started when fourteen to seventeen year olds were deemed “too stupid to consent to sex with anyone over 18, but wise enough to have sex with anyone under 18 without consequence.”
And of course, now, Obama’s buddies have given 15 year olds the green light on abortion-inducing “after action” pills, and states, such as my “great” state of Ohio have declared that minors can go get abortions without parental consent, no doubt because pregn
Three Things 2012 Taught Us About Unions

In reply to VanceUppercut.

The cost of living in most right to work states is generally 10-20% less because most right to work states aren’t run by fiscally irresponsible democrat controlled governments. As for job security, I know 15000 steel workers in the Ohio Valley, union members all, who are no longer steel workers because their steel jobs are gone. And I really miss Twinkies. What happened to those 18000 Hostess workers? Job security? Everyone is at risk, union or not, right to work or not. It’s called “life in a free market economy.”
Netherlands: Hey, Let’s Bring Our Gold Home

In reply to Freedom_Czar.

There, sir, you’re right. Our current debt (the little number, not the unfunded liabilities) of 16 trillion dollars equates to almost 400,000 tons of gold. Adding up the reserves of all the countries in the picture in the article gives less than 50,000 tons. The only way to pay off our debt is to stop borrowing, and continue selling off our country’s resources and land. OR we can just wait until the taxes imposed upon our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are high enough to pay it off. OR, we can force the US government to stop borrowing, reduce the tax rates on individuals and businesses, get rid of the stifling regulations on businesses, then watch the economy roar, the tax revenue to the government skyrocket, and our debt go away in less than 25 years. BUT, having complete faith in human nature, I fear we’ll sit on our @sses, borrow like an addicted gambler on a losing streak, and wait until the economy collapses so we can all play caveman for a century or two, then blame it all on Bush-43.
Ga. Theater Canceled Restoring Courage Screening After Finding Out Beck Was Associated

August 26, 2011 at 12:46pm

People who run a business in New Mexico are going to jail for refusing to photograph a “same sex” wedding. Yet this theater, in business to make money also, I assume, has the right to refuse service AFTER contracting to provide that service? The Right has put up for far too long with the double standard of the left. Get out the contract for the theater, get it to a lawyer, and sue the theater for the “emotional trauma”, the “discriminatory practices”, the “racism”, the “abridgement of 1st amendment rights to speak and meet”. Use all the Left’s tactics against them until the courts finally put an end to this idiocy. I realize that this would make the Tea Party in Georgia look like leftist whiners, but that cat ain’t gonna quit peeing on your boots till you give it a good kick.
