Making It Easy: Swipe Your Card, Donate to Charity
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Civic-minded credit and debit card holders are getting a new automatic donation option -- great new for charities, which have seen donations relatively stagnant throughout the five-year economic slump.
According to the Indiana University Lily Family School of Philanthropy, U.S. charitable donations grew at a paltry 1.5% pace last year, adjusted for inflation. Study analysts says Americans want to do better, but the economy holds them back.
"When you consider all the factors that go into determining how much we give to charity, modest growth makes sense and is actually encouraging," said Gregg Carlson, chairman of the foundation, which publishes Giving USA. "Most households feel pressured at every economic corner, but the longstanding social contract between Americans and the nonprofits they believe in remains resilient and intact; many see giving as a core budget item. The amount devoted to that category might shift up or down with annual economic realities, but it doesn't go away."
While Carlson adds that the charitable giving outlook is moderately bullish, fundraising providers are linking arms with major retailers and card companies to make giving even easier for easily distracted Americans.
Take Goodsearch, a San Francisco online charitable giving service introducing a program this week linking donations to credit and debit card payments.
The service, called Goodswipe, allows U.S. card consumers to donate to more than 110,000 charities and causes by swiping their payment card at more than 75,000 U.S. retailers, hotels and restaurants.
The program, which has the Plink online rewards point provider as a partner, gives donations of up to 3% of a purchase price when users swipe their card at brands such as Gap
Setup is fairly straightforward too: A card user visits the Goodswipe website, plugs in credit or debit card information and can start redirecting retail card payments directly toward favored charities. You can donate to as many charities as you like every time.
"With a one-time sign-up from their supporters, causes can have an automatic stream of donations," Goodsearch CEO Scott Garell says. Card users can also leverage various online and offline rewards programs using Plink, company officials say.
Tying credit and debit card purchases together to donate to charity is an intriguing idea whose time has come.
For cash-strapped charities, it may come not a moment too soon.

Skip to comments.Obama Will Seek Citizenship Path in One Fast Push (for most illegal aliens)
Posted on 01/12/2013 6:40:30 PM PST by kristinn
WASHINGTON President Obama plans to push Congress to move quickly in the coming months on an ambitious overhaul of the immigration system that would include a path to citizenship for most of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, senior administration officials and lawmakers said last week.
Mr. Obama and Senate Democrats will propose the changes in one comprehensive bill, the officials said, resisting efforts by some Republicans to break the overhaul into smaller pieces separately addressing young illegal immigrants, migrant farmworkers or highly skilled foreigners which might be easier for reluctant members of their party to accept.
The president and Democrats will also oppose measures that do not allow immigrants who gain legal status to become American citizens one day, the officials said.
Even while Mr. Obama has been focused on fiscal negotiations and gun control, overhauling immigration remains a priority for him this year, White House officials said. Top officials there have been quietly working on a broad proposal. Mr. Obama and lawmakers from both parties believe that the early months of his second term offer the best prospects for passing substantial legislation on the issue.
Mr. Obama is expected to lay out his plan in the coming weeks, perhaps in his State of the Union address early next month, administration officials said. The White House will argue that its solution for illegal immigrants is not an amnesty, as many critics insist, because it would include fines, the payment of back taxes and other hurdles for illegal immigrants who would obtain legal status, the officials said.
A bipartisan group of senators has also been meeting to write a comprehensive bill, with the goal of introducing legislation as early as March and holding a vote in the Senate before August.

2010 scared the pee out of Barry. He don't want that to happen in 2014. The boy gonna get him a bunch of Mexican voters just to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The bad economy helps the push back against amnesty. That should be brought up time and again. We are broke enough.
obama hates America more than he cares about illegals. This push is to cripple the U.S. economy.
I'm sure Rubio (Jeb Bush puppet) will work with Obama on such measures
The same thing will happen in 2012 ~ Democrats are burdened with several tens of millions of voters who think all you have to do is vote for President and your stuff goes to the top of the pile.
BTW, in 2006, about 26,000,000 Republican voters who'd showed up in 2004 didn't show up!
That's the year the big campaign issue was Mark Foley and the failure of the Republican leadership in the House to address that problem head on.
Now a guy can't even shave his chest, so that situation may be fixed. The Democrats also disposed of Rep. Masa in a New York second! Seems to be some agreement on the place of gay blades ~ they can get married, but stay outta' the Congress and the Page program.
Several million new voters by 2016 will guarantee we'll never have another Republican president and the dems will own he gov't.
You can count on it. Rand Paul also has hinted at it as well, my patience is over for people who support Amnesty over deportation.
Im sure Rubio (Jeb Bush puppet) will work with Obama on such measures
And you are correct....
Wonder if his vote against the Fiscal Cliff was just to distract the RINOs into thinking he was "conservative"?
Obama Will Seek Citizenship Path.....for himself?
Several million new voters by 2016 will guarantee we'll never have another Republican president and the dems will own the gov't.
Invade the country with illegals, ban guns, raise taxes, print cash to cause inflation, harass the citizens with jackbooted thugs, tank the economy, surrender in Afghanistan —— what could possibly go wrong?
What do you expect from a alien and a cultural alien?
And what muslim is a expert in American constitution or its roots? Those are Christian things meant to be destroyed!
I'm replying before I look at the other
replies to see how many thought the same
I thought the headline meant
he was talking about himself!
I'm expecting that he will simply write an Executive Order and create the law, rather than involve the House and the Senate.
vimeo.com..... "Agenda:Grinding America Down" best documentary I have ever seen. It is a excellent summary of one component... the most important. As it indicates in the conclusion all others are sideshows.
How long before the GOP caves?
The emperor's way is clear. Frankly, I dont see anything to stop him.
Well I guess there's no point in working or paying taxes anymore.
The Republican elite has already caved in on this, so it's too late.
Face it - there is no longer anyone looking out for you.
In 2050, there will be two political parties in the Socialist States of America - the Democrats and the Partidad de la Raza (PLR)
In 2060, there will a PLR President who will be an American Hugo Chavez. It will be fitting for that generation to watch their liberties be taken away, starting with the media. That will be the most enjoyable part - the children of the current media being thrown in jail.
Party of Spelunkers.
We have the town drunk / K street Frontman as our leader !
God help us !
*shakes head* To say that Hussein doesn't hate this country is absurd. The only thing you left out is his support for gay marriage..
I'm gonna watch that video. It looks like something I need to see.
Making illegal aliens citizens is insanity and national suicide.
The republicans are insane fools, while the democrats know they are doing this to seize all power.
Another "bipartisan group" is working to destroy our country.
Redo your numbers.
The republicans are so upset they lost the hispanic vote, they are going to create 20 million new democrat voters to correct the problem.
The republicans are one mess of sorry sons of bitches.
They will lose the Congress over this, and never win again. Absolute insane fools.
Why should anyone obey any laws when 20 million non citizen criminals are about to be handed America?
Bush tried and lost.
Obama should, too.
Its not amnesty because you pay a fine. Then the democrats give you everything forever. And you become the dominant racial group.
Some fine.
Obama should invite that other great advocate of amnesty for illegal aliens to join him at the signing ceremony: G.W. Bush
2010 - 38.8 million Democrats vote
Democrats who didn't show up = 30.7 million
2004 = 62.0 million Republicans vote
2006 - 35.6 million Republicans vote
Republicans who didn't show up = 27.4 million
Michele Bachman could have stopped this by
Not bailing out on getting rid of Bonehead as the leader !
Now we have the alcoholic K street crook and weepy boozer
As our front man along with traitor Mitchy McConnell!
We are in trouble
"Im sure Rubio (Jeb Bush puppet) will work with Obama on such measures"
Worth repeating for all those who swoon over Rubio.
Comrade Asswipe just might get that civil war he's been spoiling for.
No big surprise there.
The conventional(liberal) wisdom is that Hispanics came out and voted in huge numbers for Dems 2012 punishing Rs , so R's will have learned to appease them by signing on to his amnesty out of fear.
But to look at it another way, and the GOP amnesty crowd on Sunday news shows are scared to say this:
Why the hell would the R House go along with O to create many more Dem voters esp after 2012?
Anybody see anyone given amnesty in a Obama pushed bill voting against Dems?
I always suspected the gun push is a stalking horse and they really want badly is amnesty !
It's the old dem play book .
The gun deal will be bloody and amnesty will be peddled as bringing us all together !!
Civil War II
Excellent video that explains why they're overwhelming the system. They're throwing everything at us - as much as they can, as fast as they can - to accomplish their decades old agenda of destroying America.
Agreed. If they are here to work and are working, they are taking jobs from Americans. If here and not working, they are adding dead weight to a safety net about to break.
If the Republicans give him any push back (and I doubt they will), he can just sign an executive order.
Is he including himself in the amnesty? /s
Jug ears finally gonna get himself a green card?
2008 total turnout general election = 132 mil
2010 total turnout general election = 90 mil
about 32 mil fewer total voters came to the polls in 2010.....
and 30.7 mil were Dems who voted in 2008 but did not in 2010? How can that be? 30 mil Dems stayed home in off year election and only 1 mil Repubs stayed home?
Hopefully Bonehead has figured out that fast accomplishes nothing but furious.
Fast in congress, is not the people's friend. It's careless and corrupt.
No deals with the Bamster. He's a political retard.

2012 Enterprise Applications Survey
We've been asking InformationWeek readers about their enterprise application use since 2010, and over the years we've seen much the same responses to certain questions.
One in particular jumps out: Survey respondents continue to say that changing, upgrading and optimizing their existing enterprise apps is their biggest challenge. But while the challenges IT pros face remain the same, one change we are seeing is that businesses are increasingly avoiding customization. That's for good reason, though, as customized apps are more difficult to deal with, particularly when you're upgrading them.
For their part, vendors are offering more alternatives to customization, providing ways to configure applications for particular needs and industries when they're initially deployed. But configuration isn't always the best answer. In some cases, configuration options are getting so numerous and layered that they present challenges of their own.
For SaaS and on-premises software vendors alike, configuration is now the favored approach for letting customers tweak application functionality and add industry-specific capabilities. In some cases, vendors make a point of spotting often-customized features and functions and making them more flexible through configuration settings. But relying on configuration settings doesn't work for every business.
This report examines the two approaches to fine-tuning enterprise applications and helps identify the best practices that will help you decide whether to customize or configure. (R5010812)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2012 Enterprise Applications Survey
Survey Date April 2012
Region North America
Number of Respondents 338
Purpose To gauge the state of enterprise applications and business processes, as well as organizations' priorities, in evolving technology over the next 12 months to 24 months.
Methodology InformationWeek surveyed business technology decision-makers at North American companies.

8 Steps to Achieve Network Neutrality
The consumer electronics market is riding the success of smartphones and tablets into a post-PC era, even as the consumerization of technology has a profound effect within most organizations—notably in weakening IT's stranglehold on employees' client device, operating system and application choices. In particular, the popularity of the iPhone and iPad has created a halo affect for the Mac; Apple's PC market share is the highest it's been in years. While many IT departments don't officially provide support, as with the iPhone before it, MacBooks are increasingly coming in the back door. It's difficult for IT to just say no when a senior executive asks for help connecting a Mac to the corporate file shares or email system.
In short, the age of "you can have any PC you want as long as it's beige and running Windows" is over, and that's a good thing. The prospect of device heterogeneity needn't be a scary one, for end users or application support organizations. In this report, we'll offer eight tips for network neutrality that collectively can grant alternative clients equal citizenship in (formerly) Windows-dominated enterprises. (S3931111)

The Somerset and Dorset Railway Trusts museum at Washford contains relics from the former Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway which ran from Bath to Bournemouth with branchlines to Highbridge, Burnham on Sea, Wells and Bridgwater. All finally closing in 1966. Please note that the museum is not open every day. Please click here for opening dates.
A Railway Remembered
Explore the mass of exhibits, ponder on the old station names and soak up the evocative atmosphere.
Relics to be seen are station nameboards, lamps, tools, signalling equipment, tickets, photographs, handbills, rolling stock and steam locomotives.
Step back in time as you operate the levers in the reconstructed Midford Signal Box
Museum Admission Prices
Child £1.00
Family £5.00
Members Free
Washford Station is the first station on the extension from Watchet to Minehead and is different in style from the buildings of the earlier line. The station opened in 1874 and unlike some of the other stations on the line is in the village it serves.
The Station is painted in Southern Region colours setting it apart from the other stations, painted in the colours of the Great Western Railway and its successor the Western Region of British Railways. The small wooden building next to the main building is the original signalbox which contains a set of levers. Although the Midford exhibit has been designed to represent an ex-S&DJR location, the lever-frame is in fact a part of one from the former signal-box at Woolston (near Southampton).

Yoplait's rejects rBGH-tainted milk
Yoplait, a leading brand of yoghurt, and the19th largest dairy producer in the U.S., has announced, that as of August 2009, it will no longer purchase milk from dairies injecting their cows with Monsanto's controversial genetically engineered synthetic hormone, recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH).
Yoplait's rejection of rBGH-tainted milk comes in the wake of a consumer campaign organized by the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, the OCA, and dozens of allied public interest organizations. Yoplait's action is amplified by a growing number of mainstream companies who have recently turned their backs on rBGH, including Starbucks, Caribou, Cabot cheese, and Subway.
For over ten years, OCA and our allies have led the charge against rBGH and other genetically engineered foods and food ingredients.
Although rBGH is not allowed on organic farms and is banned in most of the industrialized world because of its threats to both animal and human health, this cruel and dangerous drug is still injected into approximately 10% of U.S. dairy cows--to force them to produce more milk. With your help, OCA and its allies will continue our campaign until Monsanto's rBGH is driven completely off the market.
Boris Johnson unveils plan to create 2,012 new vegetable gardens in London
Scheme aims to boost the amount of locally grown food in the capital

Londoners will be encouraged to turn flat roofs into vegetable plots as part of a scheme to grow food on 2012 patches of land across the capital by 2012, Boris Johnson said today.
The "Capital Growth" project is the first initiative delivered by Rosie Boycott since she was appointed chair of London Food by the London mayor over the summer.
The former newspaper editor wants councils, schools, hospitals, housing estates, and utility companies to identify derelict land that can be turned into vegetable gardens by green-fingered Londoners keen to grow their own spuds rather than buy transported produce from the supermarket.
Boycott also envisages that spare pieces of land can be found on canal banks, banks of reservoirs, and disused railway yards.
Boycott said: "London has a good deal of green spaces – some derelict or underused - but not being used as well as they could be. We also have a veritable host of enthusiastic gardeners who are well equipped to turning derelict or underused spaces into thriving oases offering healthy food and a fantastic focus for the community.
"Capital Growth will identify spaces across the capital – often in surprising places such as roof gardens – and help London's communities grow their own food."
Boycott said in an interview in yesterday's Times that it was hoped that the 2012 makeshift plots could be found in time for the Olympics so that some of the homegrown food could be provided to athletes.
The demand for allotments has rocketed over recent years as environmental awareness has increased.
But a survey conducted by the London assembly two years ago found Londoners in some parts of the capital were waiting up to 10 years for an allotment, due to a dramatic decline in the number of available plots caused by owners wanting to put the land to other uses.
The London mayor wants to turn back the tide to promote locally grown food in the face of rising food prices and the challenge to protect the environment.
Londoners will receive both financial and practical support to grow their own, such as gardening tools and compost.
Launching the project at a vegetable and herb garden run by a charity for disabled people in Battersea Park, Johnson said: "Linking up currently unloved patches of land with people who want to discover the wonders of growing their own food, delivers massive benefits. It will help to make London a greener, more pleasant place to live while providing healthy and affordable food.
"This will aid people to reconnect with where their fruit and veg comes from and cut the congestion and carbon emissions associated with the transportation of food from miles away. Capital Growth is a win-win scheme - good for our communities and good for our environment."
Why organic gardening is good for the body and mind
Maybe your mother didn't cry, "Mangia!" when you ate dinner, like mine did. Still, you're likely to whisper it to yourself. That's because you possess a simple survival impulse: Eat until sated. Our neanderthink legacy is to store as much energy as possible, since calories were scarce and uncertain for most of human evolutionary history and our metabolism was set to guard against the possibility of starvation tomorrow. The problem is that eating more doesn't sate us; we merely recalibrate how much we think we need.
Our evolved mind-set on food hinders us in several ways. Our instincts tell us to keep eating well beyond when we are sated. Worse, the foods we crave—calorie-dense fats and sugars—were once rare and valued as a bulwark against starvation; now they're plentiful and harmful in excess. We don't crave plants, precisely because they were more abundant in our past. And if we do manage to temporarily gain a handle on the gustatory Disneyland in which we live, our dietary rigor plummets once we've lost weight.
Our "gut" instincts can swiftly divine whether someone is an ally or a cheater and whether something is distasteful before we even taste it. But listening to our literal gut in the contemporary world has led only to an obesity epidemic.
Eighty thousand years ago—yesterday in evolutionary terms—we ate at a very different restaurant, the savannah. Food was scarce and uncertain, and great physical effort was required just to acquire enough for survival. Our ancestors were lean and muscular, their bodies sculpted by scarcity. The mismatch between savannah dining and today's smorgasbords means our bodies are best adapted to a life at boot camp, not a 24-hour minimart.

Go Organic for Your Kids
Reduce pesticide risk for your kids by opting for organic.
Pregnant women, infants, and children are uniquely at risk of significant—possibly permanent—developmental damage from low-level pesticide exposure. In surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and others, 90 percent or more of the children tested had insecticide metabolites in their urine and blood.
Protect Little Ones
Infants are unable to detoxify most pesticides, making their developing brains and nervous systems particularly vulnerable to these neurotoxins. "Prenatal and childhood exposures to pesticides have emerged as a significant risk factor explaining impacts on brain structure that can increase the risk of neurological disease later in life," a recent report by the Organic Center concludes.
Early exposure to organochlorine and organophosphate (OP) insecticides has been linked to disease development later in life, including leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Children through age thirteen, particularly one- to two-year-olds, tend to be exposed to the highest levels of pesticides per pound of body weight.
Research confirms the relationship between diet and pesticide exposure in children. An organic diet "provides a dramatic and immediate protective effect against exposure to OP pesticides," finds a study published by the National Institutes of Health. The Organic Center recommends choosing only organic fruits and veggies when planning a family and raising children. Consumers can also urge the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promote organic foods in school lunches and other government nutrition programs.
. . . And the Environment
Toxic and persistent pesticides applied in conventional agriculture can remain in soil for 20 years or more, and tainted irrigation water is one cause of cross-contamination between farms. The U.S. Geological Survey found that about half of sampled groundwater contained at least one pesticide—including the long-banned DDT and dieldrin. Organic production prohibits toxic, persistent pesticides and relies largely on natural pest control methods—supporting healthy soil and groundwater for ourselves, our children, and generations to come.

The Dolans would like to win (because that increases revenue), but they don't have the will to make the investment. That would be too risky. To them, the safest bet is to dump salary and keep your fingers crossed.
The fans see this, and that's why they stay away.
This is entirely too simplified. All money in a baseball contract is guaranteed. Football isn't the same. Not to mention, football has a salary cap. Everybody is on equal, or at least relatively equal, footing.
Randy Lerner spends money just as stupidly, including the hiring and firing of coaches like he changes his jammies.
The Browns have to keep their fingers crossed and hope too because no free agents want to come here. One of the same issues that the Indians have. They can't be players because Cleveland is not a desirable location.
I fail to see where Lerner is any better than the Dolans. One spends a ton of money with no results, one spends little money with no results. Explain to me why one is so much better than the other. Because Lerner "tries"? Fine, but if Lerner tried with some intent, the Browns could have nice things. The Dolans can't even try because baseball economics don't let them.
If you're going to argue that the Browns draw better than the Indians because they're a better organization, you're not going to have much credibility.
If you want to argue the obvious points that have already been discussed (# of home games, time of year, once/week, etc.), then sure, those are all valid.
But to infer that the clown show that is the Browns is better than the Indians is just ludicrous.

Same-Sex Marriage Changes Finances
By Juliette Fairley
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--When the Supreme Court gave same-sex couples the same rights to federal benefits as heterosexual couples this past week, they were suddenly enabled to reduce or eliminate estate taxes.
In addition, married same-sex couples are now eligible for Social Security spousal benefits equal to half of a worker's retirement benefit as well as in the event of death.
"Same-sex couples can now create estate plans that are designed to reduce estate taxes but there are traps," said Robert F. Klueger, a noted estate planning attorney. "If a couple is married, one same-sex spouse may become liable for the debts of the other."
When asset protection is the paramount objective, a same-sex couple should consider entering into a prenuptial agreement that removes them from community property.
"As in most contexts, planning works better if it is done earlier rather than later," said Klueger.
Author Steve Siebold predicts that within the next ten years, marriage equality will be legal in all 50 states with nearly 20% planning to be wed in the next one to three years, according to a 2013 TheKnot.com & The Advocate Same-Sex Wedding Survey by Here Media/MRI.
"That's a huge increase from even a year ago and one that opens up an array of new opportunities," said Stephen Murray, Here Media's senior vice president for marketing and brand strategy.
The report found that 45% of those who took the survey are getting married in a state where civil unions or domestic partnerships are legally recognized while 40% will do so in a state where they are not recognized.
"We could not be more excited that 12 states and Washington, D.C. are finally allowing same-sex couples the right to marry, declare their love for one another and plan those weddings," said Rebecca Dolgin, The Knot's editor in chief. "We're excited to be at the forefront by being the first to provide this level of detail and information on how same-sex couples plan and how their weddings compare with those of straight couples."
But same-sex couples still face many challenges when planning their weddings.
Some 20% said that the paperwork and legal issues regarding their marriages being recognized was their biggest challenge. Another 20% were surprised by how stressful all the planning details could be.

Skip to comments.Paradise Lost: California to Provide Free Cell Phones for Homeless
Posted on 12/10/2012 3:09:05 PM PST by drewh
click here to read article
surely this is an onion piece!
I have an elderly friend who has a free US government cell phone. She keeps it on the table right next to her land line.
Obama Phone Remix - (J. Geils Band - Centerfold) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N680dYVPKqU
What no data plan?
Uyghur, please! Possible dope deals maybe....
Hahahah. Yeah, riiiight. They want jobs. LOL.
This is great it is transformative for homeless and low-income people."
Yeah. They can't wait to see what freebies the politicians will steal for them next!
California is behind the curve on this Florida has had them since the Bush administration so where the Obama phone comes from is beyond me.
Or selling them.
By what right?
Bevan Dufty?
Just from the name you know he has to be gay.
Yep, gay alright.
Now they will charge their Obamaphones in public libraries while watching internet porn.
If this is a right...why can't six year-old kids get the same deal from the state government? And the illegal aliens after they cross the border....could they get one? At some point, you just spend money on whatever you can....and just figure taxes will rise to meet your expectations.
Yep. Sure thing.
Really, it's to make them feel dignified in their squalor; or maybe to call up the legal aid lawyer and sue some establishment for showing them disrespect.
Communist/Marxist agenda, get rid of all land line phones. Then knock out the cell phone towers, no one can communicate and takeover begins. A great plan by Obama and his ilk.
Will they provide free re-charging stations on the street corners adjacent to the liquor stores or the overpasses?
If some scary entity was able to shut down cell phone communication in order to take over, wouldn't they also have to shut down the internet?
And if they could do that, why would they need to first eliminate land lines? They'd have the power to shut those down as well.
What a waste. There's an organization here that provides unemployed people with a phone number and voice mail for $5 a month and they operate "resource centres" with free access to phones, fax and internet for free. You don't need a free phone to connect with a job.
I'd settle for a few more port-o-pees.
I'd say a ready made market for Obama's solar cell buddies. If Solyndra coulda only hung in there a bit longer.
Well, those FREE Obama phones beat the heck out of "shovel ready" jobs that these people wouldn't have taken anyway.
Internet porn: Isn't why the internet was invented?
The whole concept originated as a means to help indigent elderly have phone access for emergency and health care calls. While today it will include text data service, be assured soon they will have to have full internet browser capabilities "so they can look for a job." What a crock. It would be interesting to perform an audit on any 10 Obamaphones to see what they were used for. Would job search calls show up as using 200 minutes? 100? 10? 5?
The Democrats want Republicans to spell out all their tax plans, yet never show the return on their misguided handouts. Oh- sorry - they can show a great return on the investment of our tax money in these handouts - Zero got reelected.
When to the Democrats get charged with BUYING VOTES because that is what they're doing? Multiple felonies committed by 0bama during this last election, to include unilateral overturning of federal immigration law in exchange for Hispanic votes!!!
Hopefully you will provide the electric when they come to be sheltered in your residence!
If you make the poor comfortable in their poverty what incentive do they have to keep off or get off the dole?
The real reason Romney lost:
Romney said, "When I'm elected, I will put Americans back to work,"
and 51% said, ...... "F That!!"
You know... I'd have less of a problem with this if it were just for the "employable" homeless.
You just have to KNOW that every crackhead, skid-row bum, and welfare brood mare will have one too.
Just damn.
Is he the one in the white dress?
Gee, if more bums and hand-out recipients have these phones, the Democratic Party can reach their voters easier come election time. That is the real reason why the whole Obamaphone scam was created — and it worked great in November.
The Universal Service Fund provides for some faceless, unelected bureaucrats to raise the taxes, er...fees, charged to paying customers, to whatever amount they deem is needed to carry the freeloaders. The California PUC is just enabling new categories of takers; I doubt the "State" intends to pay a penny.
The USF might have been created to help a few elderly people, handicapped, etc., but has become an income redistribution/Democrat Party get-out-the-vote program run amok. Please contact your representatives today and demand an end to this rip-off.
...two words...solar panels..
Are we a great compassionate people or are we mean spirited niggardly wretches.
Are we a great compassionate people or are we mean spirited niggardly wretches?
as if
Every American has a right to a government-provided cell-phone. Call it "free speech".
Some ten years ago, I talked to an attorney who mentioned a nationwide cell tower lease consolidation project - lots of new and revised leases, being signed and recorded in land records offices all over the map. I looked up the info one of the companies that he mentioned - and found a Soros reference. Could've been a legit business investment, but anything that Soros touches makes me think the worst.
BTW, I suspect the LightSquared thing was part of some communication shutdown plan.
Like California has all that extra money to "spread the wealth" with. The idiots are sooooooo deep in the tank they will NEVER dig themselves out. How stupid can they get? But then, the homeless do vote, they just use someone elses address.
It is hard to believe that California had a GDP that made it the third largest economic ranking in the world. I know it was over 20 years ago, the Rats have pushed it into the sea.
Awesome, call 311 to get the 411 on an available bed...if all else fails, call 911.
If you want to see what the entire country is going to look like in 10-years, drive around Los Angeles for a couple of days.
We need to convert FR to a dial-up BB pronto! Seriously though there a number of reasons we use wireless comms, cheaper than running copper everywhere for one. Cellular makes more sense than most other layouts like point to point. The cellular companies make more money when they control the comms (so maybe they are unwitting co-conspirators). Finally, a free and open wireless mesh might work some day, but would probably end up choked with porn with encrypted downloads. It's going to be hard to knock cellular from its perch.
The premise of providing gov't phones is for safety. With that in mind they should be chipped to only ring 911.
250 free minutes of alien space signal reception time and 250 free messages to the extraterrestrial beings of your choice.
No doubt big Obama donors are providing the phones and service and getting their pockets lined in the process.
California, lol!

- Dutch traders brought pugs back from China with them, and Holland subsequently became the pug's adopted homeland.
- The pug became the official dog of the House of Orange because they sounded the alarm at the approach of invading soldiers in 1572.
- Napoleon's wife, Josephine, used her pug to carry messages back and forth when she was imprisoned.
- The pug became the most popular royal dog in England during Victorian times.
- The pug was known as Mopshond in Holland, as Mops in Germany, and as Dutch or Chinese pug in England.

- Wrinkles need regular cleaning and drying to prevent skin infections.
- Shedding is above average.
Suggested Pug Nutritional Needs

Rhodesian Ridgeback History
- South African Hottentot tribes hunted with dogs that often had a ridge of hair running the opposite direction along their back.
- In the 1500s and 1600s, Boer settlers arriving in South Africa brought with them mastiffs, Great Danes, greyhounds and other breeds that then interbred with native Hottentot dogs.
- In 1875, Dr. David Livingston published one of the earliest engravings of a ridged dog in his memoirs, Missionary Travels in South Africa.
- Also in 1875, missionary Charles Helm traveled to Rhodesia, bringing two dogs from his home in South Africa. A big game hunter, Cornelius von Rooyen, borrowed the dogs to try them at hunting. He was so impressed with their hunting ability that he worked for the next 35 years to have them breed true.
- The dogs were especially adept at holding lions at bay, and were dubbed lion dogs.
- In the 1920s, the name was changed to Rhodesian ridgeback and a standard of perfection was produced.
- In the 1930s and 40s the breed came to Europe and America.
- Today it is among the most popular of AKC registered hounds in America.
Rhodesian Ridgeback Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and protective companion.
- Good with children, but can be overly boisterous for small children.
- Makes an excellent watchdog and good protection dog.
- It is strong-willed, powerful and somewhat independent.
- Reserved with strangers.
- Generally good with other dogs and pets.
- Obedience training is a necessity.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food plus a firm hand.
Rhodesian Ridgeback Suggested Exercises
- Makes a well-mannered housedog as long as its exercise needs are met.
- Requires a good walk or jog, or a run in an enclosed area, every day.
- Not generally a good dog for dog parks, but varies with individuals.
- Its short coat provides little protection against cold weather.
Rhodesian Ridgeback Grooming
- Coat is short and close.
- The coat needs weekly brushing and occasional bathing.
- Shedding is below average.
- The ridge of hair growing in the opposite direction along the midline of the back is distinctive and leaves no doubt as to whether it is a ridge or raised hackles. A few ridgebacks are born without ridges.
Suggested Rhodesian Ridgeback Nutritional Needs
- Ridgebacks have a moderate build, lean yet muscular. You should be able to feel the ribs, but they should not be too noticeable.
- Some ridgebacks tend to put on too much weight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

I have a quick decoy question for anyone out there concerning early season. I hunt in MN but this could apply a lot of places i suppose. My early season spread consists of Woodies, BWT, Mallards, and a few token geese. I would assume put the geese on there own and make sure to keep the woodies closer to the bank. As far as the Mallards and BWT should i mix those or keep them separate too?
I also have a few Redheads, Cans, scaup and goldeneye dekes but I probably wont bring those although we did see a redhead last opener so should i maybe through those in too?
Any advice would be great.
Thank you!

If it was me, and Im not going to speek for everyone else, the only time I would use the woodies is If there is a hole or creek that your seeing woodies swimming around on a constent bases. For the most part, I would mix the teal and mallards together. Teal arnt going to care where they land. Ive even mixed my honker deeks in with the ducks and put 2 or 3 off to the side. Looks like they landed on the outside of the spread and they are swimming in. I would leave the woodies at home.
Ive shot a lot of woodies, but never seen them land in my ducks spread. I dont even mess with woodie decoys. The only time I seen them land in my deeks are when I only had honker deeks out. But thats just my two cents!!!

If it were me, I wouldn't over think it. If the decoys are bagged separately I would probably throw them into their own groups, but if you have them all mixed in one bag I would just throw them out in whatever shape or pattern you like. You could put all the species pretty close together, but I probably would keep the geese a little further away. The wood ducks would not hurt you at all to throw out, though with them I would keep a little more separated because they don't seem to land with anything other than what they think are other wood ducks. Good luck.

Always try to mimick waterfowl as you see them naturally, and you'll be golden. You'll see those three species intertwined most of the time, except if you're in the woods, then BWT may not be very common.

We don't use woodies at all either, but tend to shoot a few every now and then, especially early in the season. We mix mallards, pintails, gads, and teal throughout the season because it isn't uncommon here in Nebraska to see those species hanging out in the same areas. We do separate the pintails out on their own, same as geese if we are using them. Everyone else gets grouped together. This year, with a lack of water, we are grouping everything together because the waterfowl have been forced to co-exist with each other in the limited water.

Not trying to hijack the thread but had a question regarding the topic as well...
My cousin and I are going to be hunting a new piece of the river that we normally hunt and i wanted to get some opinions. The river is on state land and opens up into a large flooding. It is pretty heavily hunted, but last year my cousin and I noticed a spot that the ducks seemed to head to and no one else was hunting. It is a little further up the river and harder to get to (but still hunt-able) which may be the reason. Anyway, the question is in terms of decoy strategy.
Should we look to put out a large amount of decoys 50 - 60 or keep the spread small 4 - 6 family style? Most of the other guys/ hunters out there do the standard 12 - 18 with a few spinners so I'm wondering if a deviation from this would help in any way? We shoot mostly mallards, wood ducks, teal and the occasional goose or two. Any help is appreciated.

Just try to look natural man! Don't worry about what other hunters are doing...worry about what the ducks are doing. If you're seeing birds in this spot, and its where they want to be, it won't matter how many decoys you have. But, just for good measure, keep it around a couple dozen. Spinners are good to get ducks attention. If they really aren't using that spot much, throw in a robo to get passing flocks to look at you.
Just do your homework, and be where the ducks want to be. Thats the best advice anyone can give.

Thad Jones and Mel Lewis created one of the most enduring rituals in New York. They started a big band in 1966, one that included some of the most gifted composers and improvisers in the city, many of whom were making their living as studio professionals or in Broadway pit bands. Max Gordon at the Village Vanguard booked them for three consecutive Monday evenings, and the rest is history. Both Jones and Lewis are gone, but the spirit of their music (as well as the original compositions and arrangements from their bands) continues with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
Every February, the VJO plays a weeklong showcase at the Vanguard. On the thirty fourth anniversary of the band, WBGO recorded the group on Monday night, of couse. As it happened, that was Valentine's Day, 2000.
We'll feature "Samba Con Getchu," a composition from Bob Brookmeyer, one of the early members of the Thad Jones - Mel Lewis Orchestra. The VJO included Jay Brandford, Ralph Lalama, Dick Oatts, Rich Perry, Gary Smulyan, Saxophones / Glenn Drewes, Earl Gardner, Joe Mosello, Scott Wendholt, Trumpets / Luis Bonilla, Jason Jackson, John Mosca, Douglas Purviance, Trombones / Ted Rosenthal, Piano / Dennis Irwin, Bass / John Riley, Drums

Skip to comments.White House counsel kept IRS probe results from Obama
Posted on 05/20/2013 8:19:36 PM PDT by neverdem
Two senior White House aides knew weeks ago that a probe of the Internal Revenue Service had found that the U.S. tax agency had inappropriately targeted conservative groups, but did not tell President Barack Obama, a White House spokesman said on Monday.
A Treasury Department official informed White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler on April 24 about the preliminary findings of a report that would fuel the latest in a series of scandals to confront Obama at the start of his second term.
The report was issued by a Treasury inspector general on May 14, four days after an IRS official had acknowledged, and apologized for, the agency's targeting of conservative groups with names such as "Tea Party" and "Patriots" that had applied for tax-exempt status.
Soon after learning of the report's preliminary findings, Ruemmler briefed White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and some other senior staff members, White House spokesman Jay Carney told a regular news briefing. Ruemmler chose not to inform Obama about the findings to avoid any appearance that he had any role in shaping the report - a role the president would not have taken anyway, Carney said.
As a result, said Carney, Obama did not learn of the findings until they were announced last week - as the president has himself stated.
Monday's disclosures revealed more about the inner workings of the White House than they did about the IRS scandal, which revolves around questions such as who imposed the inappropriate targeting by IRS employees in the agency's office in Cincinnati, Ohio, and whether IRS officials misled Congress last year about whether they knew that targeting was going on.
Answers to such questions could begin to emerge during congressional hearings scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, in the Senate Finance Committee and House of Representatives Oversight...
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Sounds like the Russians who said they wouldn't be sent to the gulags if Uncle Joe Stalin knew what was actually going on.
I don't believe it.
Do you waste your telling a 3 year old about important things?
So the senior aides knew, but not Obama.
That's like believing Haldeman, Mitchell and Erlichman knew but didn't tell Nixon
Total BS.
This is to plant the meme he knew nothing. Says nothing about knowing about the issue, just the results of the probe.
But people don't think it through.
The first thing I learned from my first boss, an old navy man "The captain is responsible to know what the first mate had for breakfast". That was 40 years ago.
The captain is responsible for the ship and it's well being, Obama
Of course the claim is false, but once Obama said "I don't know," they have to find some way to make a lie sound more believable.
GS-14 and up, if you knew and didn't report it, you go to jail.
"and up" includes all political appointees, not GS rated.
If that number exceed 100, then the big boss goes to jail for creating a culture where that would occur.
Anyone looking for any finger prints of his excellency telling anyone at the IRS, Dept of Justice, HHS, EPA or any other agency to do this or that to the tea party, republicans in general or any religious group will be wasting their time. This guy gives all his instructions through his non stop campaigning: he tells the "public" who are the villains and he ostracizes anyone who does not agree with him or voices any opposing point of view. That is the signal for all the shills in the government to go after them. 4-6 open scandals now, none of which according to his mouth piece had any genesis in the whitehouse..HA! Who targeted tea parties and others for extensive reviews before giving tax exempt status some low level employees in Cincinatti? HA. Who decided to go after the fast and furious whistleblower with demeaning slander, some US Attorney in Phoenix, Ha. Who decided to get the AP reporter phone records, some low level lackey in DOJ, HA! Who refused to send help to Benghazi some corporal in the communications center? HA! Who decided to wiretap a FOX NEWS reporter, some street FBI Agent, HA! Who decided to extort money from health insurance companies, some claims examiner in HHS? HA. No, all controlled either directly or indirectly by his excellency mostly using the campaign speech ploy.
Of course they told him. He was the one who initiated the program. The WH must think we are fools.
B. S. with a cherry on top.
B. S. with a berry on top and a side of fries.
1) Bush is detached, he doesn't know anything. He doesn't care.
2) His people are keeping things from him because they know he can't handle the job. He's just a figurehead, someone else is actually running the country.
So, "news" media, why isn't the same for your beloved selected boy-king, Zero Hussein?
Reuters loses even more credibility by reporting "straight-faced" that the President knew nothing because no one bothered to clue him in. Right.
But did he tell Valerie? If he told her, then he told Obama.
Corrupt Chicago politics from the top down!!
Nobody knows anything and if someone talks they won't see the next sunshine!
Yea but Nixon had his own office bugged & the existence of the tapes was made known. It would take a witness to come forward to nail O himself on this. I don't see it happening.
"So obammy will fire them for incompetence? "
Naw!!, just transfered to another position and given a bonus!
So answer me one question Col Obama, your people follow orders and you gave an order that no one should be harmed due to their political beliefs so why was it necessary for Carney to continue to say that you will investigate what happened and fire or transfer the guilty parties?
Sounds like millions of bugs need to be placed in and around the White Hut.
The modern term is "bull obama," or "bullobama" if you're in a mood for SingleWords.
The only way Obama did not know, was if they told him while he was wrecked on drugs and could not remember.
Such transparent lies. This really is the most transparent administration in history.
I don't care when the White House learned of the PROBE. The issue is whether the White House knew of (or worse, encouraged) the underlying IRS misconduct as it was happening.
CYA Obama CYA
I think that's correct.
Yup, poor bammy. The innocent victim once again.
I'm calling Bee Ess on this.
He knew.
Q: Anybody know what this is?
For April 1, 2013
Ans: It is a typical daily staff provided detailed list of events and
activities presented to President Obama each morning which
informs him of items which require his immediate attention. It
allows the President to stay on top and out front of everything
that happens in the nation and the world.
White House: The President is not a crook.
Reuters: Why?
White House: Because we said so.
Reuters: Okey-dokey, good enough for us. Print it!
Indonesia? Kenya? Saudi Arabia? The Comintern?
One wishes that the media would consider that maybe Mister Obama's intent might not be totally benign; and that they would investigate this angle
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
Until somebody decides to get off.
does anyone believe you can sic FBI, IRS OSHA etc on hundreds of dissident groups without the Presidents authority?
Does anyone think Obama did not know? He is a liar he knew and it has his grimy fingerprints all over it and many other sorted things I am sure.

Skip to comments.Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins
click here to read article
War and gay marriage....libertarian issues.
I guess it's in his DNA.
Without turning the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Eastern Europe into seas of glass, there is no way to win the "War on Terror".
Transcript please, sounds slightly like creative editing to marginalize the Senator
Transcript please, sounds slightly like creative editing to marginalize the Senator
The "War On Terror" isn't much different than the "War On Poverty"....ect....ect.
Anyone know what Rand Paul thinks about Amnesty?
Libertarians are usually all in on "Open Borders."
Well, I certainly don't trust Press TV (aka Iranian state media), but this sounds like stuff Rand would say. He's something of a libertarian, and I will bet much more like his Dad than he lets on. He has an isolationist (anti-war) foreign policy and isn't very interested in fighting over the social issues. Very much like his father.
McCain was never going to be able to or allowed to defeat Obama. I agree that the Republican party is going to have to change but I just don't think Republicans have the spines to stand up and be true Constitutional adhering Conservatives. Nor do I think they will ever agree on why we lost in 2012, what we should do about it in the future or even have enough imagination to come up with a list of other things that could possibly go wrong.
I do believe it's high time for a lower profile foreign policy. It's not our job to democratize the world. We do have some interests abroad, but helping jihadis overthrow stable Middle Eastern countries is not one of them. Plus, it's related to our immigration policy. Since we import 100,000 Muslims annually, we are importing a growing terrorist threat within our own borders.
Can you explain our need to get involved in Libya? (and now apparently dozens of other African nations)
Wrong, Rand. In fact, instead of being lazy and speaking in generalities, invite voters who actually care to examine the record. More liberal DEMOCRAT leftists are responsible for sending more American men and women to war than are the 'Pubbies.
And, thse same DEMOCRATS are responsible for those troops remaining at war than are Republicans. While the 'Pubbies usually take a harder stance toward defending America and talking a good story, it is the left that actually sends more American military to war because they think it makes them "look presidential" and they get a footnote in history of being a "wartime president".
IOW, it's all about who is full of more crapola! Tell people THAT story, Rand!!
Avoiding conflict, ditching principles, setting aside morality, taking a puff on the bong, and engaging in some inconsequential gender neutral free love -BUT limiting government and being fiscally conservative?
Who does this morally devoid anarchist idiot think he is fooling?
Just exactly how many of my principles, values, religious beliefs and God given rights to I have give up for a bunch of pussy Republicans? We have a cry baby for a Speaker and a vast majority of Republican house members votes for him. There are only three Republican Senators that voted against John F'n Kerry, a communist traitor.
Rand Paul can shove it up his ...
sorry for the rant.
If we are going to send our children to fight a war, we need to at least give them the tools to win it.
We were right to go into Afghanistan and kick the Taliban out. We should have been a bit more brutal in our initial entrance and we should have left 10 years ago. We might have had to go back once or twice but clearly we shouldn't be "nation building" in an Islamic cesspool like Afghanistan.
As I have stated numerous times, we lost the war in Afghanistan when we ordered the Army to burn Bibles. We lost our moral authority when that happened. IMHO we can't get out of there soon enough.
It is our job to destroy our enemies. Rebuilding their countries and giving them a government that they didn't earn by spilling their own blood is not our job. That was a Bush idea. Obama just wants to make love to them ...f'n faggot.
No need to apologize....thats the way many of us feel....and you said it quite well. Thank You
First things to cross my mind, too.
I agree with Paul that we shouldn't try to democratize any more Islamic countries, and should avoid getting involved in wars in Africa.
But I don't get the comments on gay marriage. The GOP already has plenty in its ranks who support gay marriage or civil unions. The question which Paul fails to address is how the question ultimately gets decided.
Will it be left to the states to decide for themselves as it should? Will Congress retain the power to decide for federal purposes, as it should? Or will the Courts usurp power and impose recognition of gay unions on the entire nation?
That's what worries me when Republicans talk like this. It makes me think they are okay with the Courts hijacking the issue and imposing the Left's will. The people of Kentucky overwhelmingly voted to ban gay marriage, and that decision should stand forever unless the people of Kentucky decide to reverse course. I hope Paul at least agrees with that.
Yeah, Democrats never start wars.
Will he protect religious orgs/churches and children from gay rights groups then? Doubt it.
Rand Paul is a lot more socially conservative than he lets on ... he is a christian social conservative and is raising his kids that way but he doesn't think the Federal gov't should be involved in many of these issues. He would be different as governor of Kentucky than president for example because if he were the governor he can dictate what goes on in the state like banning gay marriage but if he were president he would not do that.
Yes he would. One of the problems with those calling for federal bans of marriage, do you really want the Democrats in the Senate defining marriage and getting involved ? NO. Rand points out that this is bad for Christians and that they should work at state level and not call for more Federal involvement.
" - - - To help the party rebound from two successive losses in presidential races, Republicans must - - - "
And Rand Paul continues his decline into RINOism.
Why don't you RINO's just wave a white flag and switch to the Dem party since you want to "soften" everything and "appeal" to (fill in the blank).
What next? More welfare? Triple Obamacare spending?
Any Repubican tyring to out pander a Dem will always lose.
Might as well change their name to "The Whigs"
There is only one political party in the US, the Fabian Communist Gobalist Party of which the democrats represent the left wing and the republicans, the right wing.
I don't think it matters what Republicans say about any issue. It will just be distorted by the media in order to shape public perceptions that will favor their leftist agenda.
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party, Paul said.And less bellicose, y'know, like, stop supporting our allies and let his foreign employers overrun the world.
"But I dont get the comments on gay marriage. The GOP already has plenty in its ranks who support gay marriage or civil unions. The question which Paul fails to address is how the question ultimately gets decided."
A few years ago, Texas approved a constitutional amendment that marriage is between a man and a woman. So, it's decided in this state.
Thus far no one advocating giving up on social issues have offered any protections for religious orgs/children. Gay rights orgs will sue churches, go after children in schools and they will be fighting back on their own because Republicans have been told to surrender. That's what will happen,
Gays rights groups work on all levels of govt. They push first and we shouldn't surrender.
no it's great. I really enjoyed it.
I think we need to bring the troops home, no more nation building. Kill the bads and come home. But soften the stance on social issues??
Well, he will never get my vote.
I don't approve of using our military for nation building/social engineering other nations. We can't afford it and it does not work.
We need to ditch the Powell idea of 'You break it, you fix it." When we are attacked by someone's terrorists and need to take them out, that is all we should do and leave.
I appreciated Reagan's approach with Quadafi when he flapping his anti-american lips and doing terrorist hits against us. He bombed his house, killed some of his family members, and then we had no further problems with the creep.
Obama's drone take out is the way to target problems and not do all out war. But I despise our troops being used as nation builders/peace corps volunteers. I could give a crap about building up Muslim nations. Our nation needs building up. You wack the problem and get out.
That's a pleasant surprise.
I like a lot of things about Rand Paul.
But I do worry about his semi-isolationist views on foreign policy, the military, and Israel.
Warmongers! Boo, hiss!!
What, did Dalton Trumbo write the script for this speech?
It isn't even isolationism any more, if he drags out the President of the United States for cracking open a giant can of whoopass on people who committed mass terror-murder on our soil unsanctioned by any belligerent nation or lawful declaration of hostilities.
Seems the real Rand Paul is beginning to show itself.
Goodbye, Rand. We hardly knew ye.
I'm ALL for that policy! Either nuke 'em and nix the rebuilding or stay out completely. But since their intentions are jihad, we must get out and then nuke!
I get so sick of having a party that is enough correct to attract you, but then there are some blatant red flag concerns. It seems they are using a hegelian dialectic to push us to immorality and loss of freedom. Give us choices between good + mixture of bad versus bad + mixture of real bad. The direction is gradually toward the bad.
1. Social Issues
2. Fiscal Issues
3. National Security Issues
4. (Issues of Independence?)
I'm not sure if the 4th isn't assumed in each of the others, but wouldn't it be great is we had a party that
1. Social: Promoted life and wholesomeness
2. Fiscal: Promoted Living within our means in rational policies of taxation and budgeting.
3. Nat'l Secuity: Promoted a firm but fair "Don't Tread on Me"
4. Independence: Get out of our lives and let us pursue happiness as God gives us the ability to do so with alertness to not doing harm to others .
Where is THAT political party?
This is virtually identical to what was in the Cincinnati Enquirer (the largest city near me), but whatever news corp they are associated with doesn't permit any posting of any of their material on Free Republic. So, I found another report of the same event.
Aside from that, the only way I can think of for you to get a transcript would be for you to write to the Hamilton County, Ohio, Republican Party, the sponsors of this event.
And we'd have all that if they'd simply abide by the Declaration and Constitution. The founders knew what they were doing. And they we're infinitely better statesmen and stewards of state than our modern cabal of corrupt power-grabbing politicians.
I believe those two documents are priceless treasures borne of centuries of longing for true freedom. I do think that God smiled on their production.
The intelligentsia want to get rid of the Constitution now and are even bold enough to begin a campaign against it. I'm sure they believe they have the power to control a constitutional convention and rewrite this God-ordained constitution. (Refer to the 2nd amendment at this point.)
What they can't do is change the Declaration. It details the reasons why the 2nd amendment is legitimately used against the tyrants. They can only hope to burn it. Along with Bibles.
These truly are times that try men's souls.
We are confronted with the choice of taking control of the Republican Party or founding a real, new party. The ONLY way either will happen is if there's a revival of faith in Almighty God, the advocate of the words: "We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights."
Leave God Lose Freedom
Follow God Find Freedom
But the GOP is the marketing department for the military-industrial complex, and John McCain is the Senior VP of Sales. If McCain stopped constantly pushing for war in every part of the world that he claims have "terrorists", he wouldn't make quota.
BTW, the "terrorist" meme may be the best marketing ploy ever invented.
I interpret the Constitution to allow War, operations short of war, and clandestine operations, all with the approval of Congress.
Declaration of War
Letter of Reprisal
Letter of Marque
Like with Reagan's treatment of Libya, Afghanistan & Iraq should have been a Reprisal, carried out with ruthlessness and then redeployment, if the Congress didn't have guts to declare war.
And even with a declaration of war I would have done just as you said, gone in, smashed the hell out of things, governments, and leaders, and then left with a promise to do it again if they bothered me again.
Spot on.
Attempting to civilize Afghanistan was a fool's errand from the beginning. We should have left after the punitive expedition phase, and never started the meals on wheels phase.
We'd have been there maybe a year.
