• 2nd Grader Suspended for Making ‘Gun Noises’ With a Pencil — After Pretending to Be a Marine Like His Dad

  May 7, 2013 at 8:06pm

  We need to enact common sense legislation to keep out kids safe.
  1) We need to enact a balanced budget amendment, our kids cannot be safe, if the value of the dollar is ever devalued by wasteful spending and harmful and debilitating borrowing.
  2) Term limits need to be set, 2 Terms for Presidency, 3 Terms for Senators, and 4 terms for House Reps. A life of aristocratic bureaucracy, leads to furthering the purpose of said bureaucracy.
  3) Limit laws to 10 pages, and have a 96 hour distribution-to-vote time, so laws are able to be reviewed before being voted, on, any amendments may add only one page and extend the window 48 hours.
  4)90-10 rule: 90% of taxes of individuals go to the general fund, the remaining 10% is attributed via selection of the Department on a tax return. The budget passed by the government only attributes the 90% and cannot take into account the 10% attribution revenues.
  5) The Budgetary Enforcement Act: Deadlines for Budgets will be enforced. If the government fails to have a budget passed and signed by the deadline set(October 31st for the following years budget) failure results in the suspension of all congressional and executive spending on travel and support staff. Security will remain in place, but executive assistants, historians, photographers, etc. will have suspended pay. All none emergency travel by elected officials will be suspended, until said time, that a budget is fully passed an signed.
  It’s only common sense, save our ch

• FactCheck.org: Sen. Reid Caught Making False Claims About Spending Cuts

  February 8, 2013 at 12:15pm

  One of two things: 1) I wish government accounting practices worked in the real world. That by saying I am going to cut my normal increases in expenses(not actually cutting expenses, but just cutting future increases down) I am saving money. I could claim a new TV(which I don’t need) as an investment not an expenditure. I could borrow from my savings, leave myself an IOU and claim it as a net gain. Or: 2) The government had to use real accounting principles. Yeah, we can have all of the expenses laid out, but at the end of the day, we have three columns. Income, Expenses and the difference. If Income is not equal to or greater than expenses, a plan has to be in place to pay it off, within a finite time period. At this stage it’s not possible. But Let’s make this simple for Political purposes. Yearly budget deficits have to be offset within 3 years if this isn’t met, all spending takes a 10% acrossed the board cut(not in future expenses, but in the previous years amount), and this continues until the budget is balanced. No new long term debt can be added to the deficit. And we get rid of the discretionary vs nondiscretionary limits. All spending, Defense(which would bug the crud out of me), Social Programs, Safety Nets, staffing and Government salaries(including congress, the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court).

• Dad Agrees to Pay Teen Daughter $200 to Quit Facebook for 5 Months (See the ‘Facebook Deactivation Agreement’)

  February 7, 2013 at 9:57am

  Reading the comments, most of you didn’t read the article very well. She is the one who decided to give it up so she could make cash. The dad is trying to give his daughter an opportunity to do something that would be hard and make sure she has an incentive to follow through. This isn’t the daughter being out of hand. This is the daughter doing something I wish a lot of teenagers did. Voluntarily stepping away from social media. Personally, I don’t own a smartphone. Because I know it promotes the incessant need to check it every 5 minutes. Seriously people, how many of you could give up social media for this amount of time? And now that I am thinking about it. How many of you are all about parental rights, and then when this parent does something you don’t agree with, you are all over him? If parents have rights, let them have them. You can’t have it both ways. Nanny states suck because they take away a parents rights to raise their children in the way they choose, and you can’t presume you have the moral authority to “to know better” how he should raise his child. This is a parents choice, respect it or don’t. But, don’t take the “Nanny” role and say you know better. I hope the parent and child both learn and enjoy the experience of this agreement. Good luck.

• MSNBC Guest’s Bizarre Claim: Climate Change ‘Driving’ Chicago’s Gun Violence

  January 31, 2013 at 11:25am

  I have a solution. We can invest a few billion dollars and have every one in Chicago take a 30 year mandatory “geo-relocation” vacation. They effectively move the city of Chicago to about 250 miles north of Kobuk National Park on the Wainwright Inlet(they are used to a big lake, we have to give that to them). The average temperature is significantly lower. Since Chicago citizens have issues when the temperature rises, we can make sure they stay cool. Problem solved. If we really have to, we can build a prison near here as well and keep the violent criminals here to keep them calm. See, as soon as we identify the real problem, we can solve it. It’s not guns, it’s not mental health, it’s not a culture of divisiveness, it’s the HEAT.

• Atheist Group Sues Indiana, Demanding Right to Have ‘Secular Celebrants’ Legally Marry Non-Believers

  October 25, 2012 at 6:09pm

  I say let them. If they wish to marry as atheists, it is a formal recognition of atheism as a religion. Once that happens, theists of anykind can then sue states for supporting secularism or atheist ideas over other faiths. There is no reason for them to claim that atheism as a non-faith. A faith that there is no god or gods, is still a faith.

• ‘Put An Obama Bumper Sticker On Your Forehead When You Do This!’: Fired-Up Romney Surrogate Calls Out CNN Host

  August 14, 2012 at 11:28am

  I normally don’t like getting into R vs D politics, but the more I see this, the more I am reminded how much of a hodgepodge of ideas progressivism is. Think about it, they want rights, secularism, equality, socialistic programs and gender neutrality. OK, so secularism and gender neutrality don’t go together. From a pure biological point(secularism) men and women have inherently different strengths and functions. Genetically it is a weakness to be able to kill you own offspring or fail to find a suitable mate is a weak genetic line. From a seculars point of view, these people are expendable. Rights and social programs don’t go together, because you can’t have the right to be equal, that is a function of either work or official decree, and if you don’t want to work, it has to be official decree and you don’t have the right to be different. The only thing keeping this group together is that they share a common opposition, that’s it. If they were true to their individual beliefs they would be more against each other than anyone or anything else. It’s crazy to think, but assuming progressives ever did effectively end the opposition, they would have to start a whole new war over the direction of the new supremacy. Progressivism only works when there is an external force, once that’s gone, it self destructs.

• TX School District to Track Students Through I.D. Cards, Parents Express Privacy Concerns

  May 31, 2012 at 11:21am

  In reply to AmazingGrace8.

  My dad didn’t trust me. That was what kept me in line. He didn’t track me, because he knew I was more scared of getting in trouble at home than of being stupid out and about. Get bad grades, I was grounded, no phone, no TV, nada. I do something stupid, grounded and a couple of swats. When I hit HS. Grounding were still there, as was loss of vehicle, and playing is sports. I’d still practice, but I couldn’t play. Having a parent more interested in results than being a friend resolves 90% of behavior issues. Nothing schools can do about it.

• Professor’s Appalling Rant to Students: Cops Are ‘Piggish,’ Conservatives Are ‘Schmucks,’ America is ‘Perverse Place,’ Need To Revisit ‘Useful’ Marxist Concepts

  May 31, 2012 at 11:13am

  I love it when Academics who make money off the public, criticize Capitalism. I wonder what his salary is. If Marx was right, he is a teacher, what is his great contribution, he doesn’t serve the state’s interests. Anthropology is a “perspective” science, it doesn’t serve a great purpose to the general populace.
