If you really believe this stuff, I suggest you take a step back and try to look at it with new eyes. Obama is not evil. He has no nefarious plan to control the masses, make the US communist, or take your women. Neither does Romney. They are both flawed men who will and are trying their best. They have slightly different ideas about taxes and government spending. Their views on abortion, gay rights, and immigration are different. Their ideas about foreign policy are the same but with some rhetorical tweaks. Otherwise, like most of the people in the US, they are essentially identical. it is not that Obama is evil, his ideals of a world with no war, medical for all, no one is hungry are all admiral qualities, it is how he wants to get there is the issue. By Making people dependant on a government instead of being dependant on their own skills and abilities is actually robbing those that do provide for themselves of the ability to provide for themselves. A good paying job and self confidence is what people need not a handout from the government. taking from the producers of the world is wrong. dividing the people on the grounds of race, religion, sex, and nationality is wrong. Instead of leading people into hatred of another class he should be bringing the groups together to get the prodecers to help others. What we have now is the havenots trying to take from the haves and using things like race sex and nationality as excuses to make it ok. The utopiun world when everyone has everything is a great ideal to work towards, but you have to work to get there, not steal it from others.

YES and you have 1000000% right to do what you want to do but please stop passing laws and rules and pushing our country closer and closer to what Iran is at the moment. Look from the outside Iran may look like a conservative utopia but just under the hejab Iran is a total mess! A huge drug epidemic among the young. And no one knows how bad the AIDS problem in Iran is! All because those who speak to god feel that educating the young regarding drugs and handing out contraceptives is against the word of god...who only they can hear! Let's not talk about Irans view of economics! The top 1% of Iran make our top 1% look well....it's rather funny. But the country has so fallen apart it's not even funny. And their solution? Well they vilify us here in the US and or my personal favorite say that it's gods will that the rich be richer every day. It's scary. I know very few know anything about Iran but take it from a guy who not only has ties to the country but also grew up there. Maybe a two week vacation for our more conservative friends to their utopia....would maybe show them how good thigns are here? And that they should just chill out! You know I was just thinking the same thing about the liberals and how they want to limit free speech and liberty by bringing us closer to the socialist program like we saw in USSR China and other countries. These countries the leaders killed over a hundred million of their own people in the last 100 years in the name of equality for all and death to all that oppose. Hilter said the "jews don't have our values." Rahm Said "chickfilla doesn't have chicago values"

The dem's want to spend 1.4 trillion over budget, the rep's want a balanced budget, maybe 700 million over budget would be a comprimise but the dems don't want to reduce the budget at all, hence no working with the dem's because they will not comprimise. are you sure you know what a compromise is? (btw, are you texting while driving again?) The Democrats are the problem because they haven't moved from their original position. But the Republicans are doing right by you because they're standing firm, but you'd like them even better if they moved further away from an actual compromise? WTF?

Really? a comprimise would have been adding tort reform to Obama care, passing a budget that only have 700 bill in debt spending instead of 1.4 trillion, or making the highest tax bracket 29% (half way between 35 and 25%) there was no comprimise from the dems at all, only blasting the right because they wouldn't lick the asses of Obama and his gang so they could pass whatever they wanted. A comprimise is were the 2 side find middleground to agree on, the stuborn dems haven't moved from the origonal position they started with, all they do is whine that the mean republicans are screwing things up. I thank the republicans for standing firm and wish they would move farther right so I the Dems would comprimise someday it would actually be in the middle not the middle of far left. Time to open your eyes and realize this president is a liar and a loser.

When you get one, please pass it on to Obamer also. Why should I pass my thingamajig on to Obama? I paid for it with my "extra money". He can afford his own. You like the guy, give him your thingamajig, leave ours alone

not odd, sometimes the court looks at financial for its descisions. one that can pay gets the bill, keeps the mother off welfare.

Sorry to hear this, I can't imagine the emotional torment you have been through. at this point all you can do is build a good relationship with your son and educate him to avoid this situation.

No. He used an example of something some friends might find acceptable between themselves. There are white people who call their white friends nigger. He already stated profanity would not be tolerated. He also stated that race would not play a role. Why then specifically address profanity within one subgroup? Thought there were not supposed to be any sub groups? It is a political propagande piece. Specifically what the writer says shoudl not be part of the education system. I have yet to see you address that. your political correctness is nausiating, he used a couple popular examples leave it at that.

He actually says: Yet then he specifically recognizes one specific skin color to make a point. (and uses an (inane) example typically used by white people) Again, it is a political propoganda pice, with students central. Yet the writer says he doesn't want politics as part of education. Again, he is either an idiot or a liar. It is this thinking that has allowed so many racial and political barriers into our schools causing a rotting of our schools social and educational responsibility.

Usually when a male is ordered to pay child support the order is rarely removed even when paternity is proven. the courts have and do make thousands of men pay for kids that are not theirs. one of our recent veterns has been in this position costin him thousands of dollars and his quality of life. the courts see it as you have been the father so just continue. this might be because of a case from (I think) texas that a man was found to not be the father of 2 or 3 of his kids and got divorced and was ordered to pay child support even though the true father was known because he raised them to tenage years thinking they were his. Never start paying child support until the paternity has been settled, even in cases that you are pretty sure that it may be your child. and order a paternity test immediatly.

I think the difference would be that we would find and remove them before mexico could do it. Yes, because there aren't any Mexican gangs in the US. if war type attacks were being done on other countries from gangs in the US, the US would definately step in and remove them first. at this point it is the ones in mexico bleeding into the US that are the issue.

I think the difference would be that we would find and remove them before mexico could do it.

The fact that most, like 80% plus, had already chose who they wanted to vote for months earlier. The money spent was spent to get the 10-20 perscent still deciding.

Heck man my relationship adivce is spot on! except it didn't seem to work for you. LOL Like watching corn grow in Iowa

I agree that it gives perspective. It tends to show a bias, but is fundamentally useful. Describing the threat as 'miniscule' indicates an understanding of how bad the problem is...which we don't. Theoretically, ten percent of the country could be voting and another ten percent could be voting for themselves and another forty percent. The forty percent we think don't vote could just represent the number the frauds haven't gotten around to voting for yet. :) We just don't know because we don't require ID. However, the point is well taken. We have plenty of big problems in this country. Voter fraud is only one and certainly not the most important. Personally, I would think a balanced budget would be much nicer. Hell, I'd be impressed if the feds could just pass a budget before the beginning of the fiscal year it's implemented in. They haven't done that in 14 years. It's the one thing they know they have to do every year, yet they can't get it done. Makes you wonder about their competence to handle more complex issues like marriage, where life begins, religion and such. In the big scheme of things, voter fraud probably doesn't make the top ten. But it is important. ShrubCo wasted 70 million dollars and 7 years having the issue of voter fraud investigated. Didn't come up with much of anything. Right Wing Conservatives are leading this country down the toilet. Their inability to sort out truth from fiction (birtherism, tea party bullshit that is funded by billionaires, etc) and their selfish short sightedness is totally against everything that made this country great. They are so scared of everything, and so easily led, that they support policies and politicians that really hurt the average citizen. They support policies that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of the 1%. The amount of outside money that has been shoveled out in Wisconsin to prop up Walker is Citizens United in all its glory. Massive FALSE advertising campaigns, enriching the corporate media spreading complete and utter lies, is happening right now. With the full support of conservatives. Absolutely disgusting. The RWCs are quite proud of the perversion of the elections that are and will occur. What has been said of walker that is false? please list. And your hero Obama spending us into bankrupcy is ok?

If they ban liquor, crime will rise again with bootlegging. Rahm is a blithering idiot. I heard this morning on a radio show from the previous police captain that it was the mayors elimination of the gang crimes units that is causing the increase. 9 months ago, in order to put more cops on the beats Rahm moved special units for combatting these issues to regular beats. this was done in 2008 and the same thing happened so they went back to these special units and the shootings and killings dropped to almost 400 last year, now it is on the rise again without these special units. to bad Rahm didn't look into the history of his own police force before making changes that have been made before with the same results.

Were you paying matching funds for the 401k? If so, you are a rare breed these days. I've never had an employer match, although most of them have had a plan for employee contributions. My wife had one that would match the first $8k IIRC. I doubt that a "substantial" amount of your health care cost came from "Obamacare." I've already been paying a lot more each year for less coverage. I was matching up to 3%. the increase this year on the health ins is $400 a month for 4 people. last year I reduced coverage and that increase still ended up $250 a month for 4 people. in 2010 I was paying $1890 a month for health and dental now it will be $2566 a month. the increases are mostly du to the added responsibilities put on the ins comanies from Obamacare. I used to complain about a couple hundred a year but now it is hundreds a month increase. Is that $2566 per person or for all of your employees? for 4 employees average age of 42

When a TI is working at a DZ, whether it's regularly or as a fill-in, it's the DZO's responsibility to know who is working for him, therefore the actions and negligence of any TI at a DZ IS the "fault" of the DZO who is allowing them to work there. It's the same in any other job/business. It's the DZO's responsibility to ensure the safety of the students and instructors, and uphold the integrity of his business as well as the sport as a whole. I had 601 tandems and 2 said no, we stayed in the plane and landed with the plane. I was no big deal to me because everyone got what they wanted. I was also acused of having the harness to tight on my students, but I never had anything like the crap that has come out over the last 6-7 years happen to my students. This video is just another example of an instructor / DZ that forgot what a student jump is about. A fun, safe, and exilerating experience for the student, this is not any of those.This is about the student not the instructor's fun and money. Any instructors that can't forget about thier wants and desires should turn in their ratings.

When a gender is looked at as less than equal under a law, I have a problem with that Sharia is a law that is used to govern and it treats women badly wasn't there a law that was struck down in misouri recently that was to ban Sharia law from being used in the states courts, wouldn't that open the door for it to be used in the courts?

you are correct that there are more things than just Obamacare causing the increases, but since 2008 i have seen almost 1600 a month increase for 4 people. the 3 things I listed are the primary cause of the increases we see. Obamacare did not reduce the costs it only accelerated them.

I have stated this before Your example is not an aception or an acident It is what is intended to happen It is the back door way to goverment control of the HC It is just happening sooner than the admin or the Dems intended it does suck becuase I have always prided my company on being better than most on how I take care of my employees. That is why I have employees with over 10 years with me. First off let’s hope the SC takes care of the Obamacare issue decisively in about 5 weeks Second, there are a few changes that could be made that would help bring the costs back down or at least stabilize them. If Obamacare is sent packing maybe a real conversation about those changes can be had eliminating Obamacare, free services for illegals and tort reform would drop costs dramatically.

Yep Obamacare is costing us plenty, health insurance costs are skyrocketing out of control. My employees just lost their 401k program due to the increase in health insurance costs. I gave them a choice of loosing health insurance or 401k and they chose the 401k because they needed the insurance. I told them next years increase in health insurance will be covered 100% by them.

Incorrect. His job was making a profit from the purchase of these companies... Quite different. those that could profit moved ahead, those that couldn't got sold of in pieces.
