The Great Recession ended 4 1/2 years ago, but ever since the cloud of "uncertainty" has hung over the economy. More so than its causes, uncertainty itself has weighed on the recovery.
In the early days of the current expansion, worry about what might lie ahead was wholly justified. As the expansion continued, however, concern about purely economic factors gave way to "policy uncertainty"-the muddied outlook caused by endless partisan wrangling over the federal deficit and long-term debt.
According to research by a trio of Stanford University economists, U.S. economic policy uncertainty over the last few years has been roughly 50 percent higher than the average over the last quarter-century. Since 2011, the Vanguard Group estimates, the impact has been a $261 billion drag on the economy, holding GDP growth to 2 percent when it could have been 3 percent.
It would be silly to say the antics in Washington over the last few years--from the debt-ceiling showdown in August 2011 to the fiscal-cliff crisis in December 2012 to the 16-day government shutdown this fall--have been good for the economy. Yet blaming policy uncertainty seems almost too convenient.
The fact is that positive news about the economy is not and has not been difficult to find. Third-quarter growth was at an annual rate of 4.1 percent, the best since 2011. U.S. unemployment in November was 7 percent versus 7.8 percent a year earlier and a peak of around 10 percent in the wake of the recession. In Rochester, the jobless rate was 6.3 percent compared with 7.4 percent a year ago, and 5,400 more people had jobs.
Meanwhile, the stock market is up more than 150 percent since its lows in March 2009, the housing recovery has clear momentum and corporate profits by some measures are at an all-time high. Also at historically high levels are corporate cash holdings of U.S. companies.
Why are firms holding on to so much cash, instead of reinvesting it? Ah, right: uncertainty.
With a federal budget agreement finally in place and the deficit as a share of GDP below 3.5 percent, compared with nearly 10 percent in 2009, perhaps it's time to give uncertainty a rest. Optimism, demonstrated by hiring and investing, might be a much more productive strategy.

Uncertainty itself
The Great Recession ended 4 1/2 years ago, but ever since the cloud of "uncertainty" has hung over the economy. More so than its causes, uncertainty itself has weighed on the recovery.
What You're Saying
Your employment numbers lack any context. The labor participation rate - able workers not institutionalized or in military - is at near record lows. That means that able workers can't find jobs and stop looking for work. The result is that the unemployment rate shrinks because fewer people are considered to be in the labor pool.
The labor participation rate is still down 0.6 percentage points from a year ago. This implies that those who were dropped from the labor force are staying out of the labor force in large numbers.
Wages are near stagnant. In terms of real dollars, adjusted for inflation, we have a revised annualized -1.0% decline in real hourly compensation for Q3 2013, non-farm businesses.
But one thing you can be certain of; the rich have become much richer, while the middle class and poor have become poorer. A full 15.2% of wage earners make less than $5,000 per year. A whopping 24.2%, of all wage earners make less than $10,000 per year and almost a third, 32.2%, of American wage earners make under $15,000. An astronomical 23,303,064 wage earners making less than $5,000 per year.
The Gini index puts the United States ranking on par with Ecuador in terms of an economically just society. China has better income equality than the United States as do most industrialized nations.

Greeley man suffers severe injuries from accidental explosion
February 23, 2013
A Greeley man is in a Denver hospital recovering from multiple injuries after a tank filled with acetylene exploded in the trunk of his car late Thursday night.
Greeley police Sgt. Susan West said Adrian Vigil, 37, had just parked his car about 10:40 p.m. Thursday in front of a duplex in the 500 block of 46th Avenue Way, just north of Walmart off 10th Street. He and a 19-year-old friend, who lives at the duplex with his parents, had been driving about 20 minutes before and heard the tank, commonly used in welding pipes, rolling around in the trunk of the Ford Taurus. West said Vigil, a journeyman plumber, had come back out to the car to get some laundry out of the trunk when the tank exploded, blowing him back into some bushes by the house.
"He was visiting my son, and I think he was going to do laundry. I think he came out to look for a hat," said the mother of Vigil's friend, who asked to remain anonymous.
The explosion broke windows at their house, rattled windows at the neighbors' houses, and cracked a window next door.
"Me and my husband were getting ready to go to bed," the woman said. "There was a boom, and I honestly thought a car came through the back of our house. It was just crazy. Our windows blew out, and the car was just engulfed in flames. After it exploded, (Vigil) was laying between the car and the bushes."
The woman's husband said the explosion sounded louder than a transformer going off on a power line.
West said Vigil was taken to North Colorado Medical Center in critical condition, with injuries to his face, scalp and upper torso and arms from the blast pressure of the explosion, plus a broken leg and possible internal injuries.
"He's not burned. He has severe cuts," the woman said. "He had a lot of glass injuries to his chest and his face and his neck. One eye is completely gone, and the other eye his socket is all crushed and glass is embedded in the back of the eye. His face was a bloody mess. They worked on him (at NCMC) for seven or eight hours, and they flew him to Denver."
An NCMC spokeswoman said Vigil was no longer at NCMC, and she wouldn't elaborate on his injuries.
West said the debris field from the explosion was 170 feet around the car, which is considered a total loss. Police did call in the bomb squad for safety concerns, but West said there is no indication this was anything other than an accident.
"There were pieces of that car up and down the street and around the corner," the mother of Vigil said as she looked around the neighborhood. "It blew out my living room window, my basement window, shattered their window, blew off her screen and it rattled people's houses."

Remember when Rosie O said something about someone winning pairs dancing. Stupid. I really don't like Sandra and really don't care that much for Scott's commentating but he is improving. I still liked Dick B. And Tracy. And Suzie.
Remember when Rosie O said something about someone winning pairs dancing. Stupid. I really don't like Sandra and really don't care that much for Scott's commentating but he is improving. I still liked Dick B. And Tracy. And Suzie.
Grgranny, DEFINITELY!
Tracy is pro-canada. I can't believe she called Joannie Rochette's LP at the 2009 Worlds like it's the second coming of christ. Sandra is rarely pro anything. She seems to be neutral/negative most of the time. I don't recall her being overtly enthusiastic about anyone. I like her that way.
I really like Sandra after the ladies SP, actually. She called it like it is. When Caroline Zhang rocked her flip edge back and forth, Sandra called it.
I honest don't know who Sandra likes/dislikes after the entire competition. Good to have an objective commentator for the sport.
I think the person NBC really needs to get rid of is Andrea Joyce. She's a pariah to all skaters (and other sport athletes, too.) I really can't stand her. Who really need to hear her dig into skaters after they had a tough outing?
Evan Lysacek every time he takes the ice
Boitano always gets raving reviews from her as well (way back when they had professional competitions)... she'd even choose him over Browning if need be (and she choreographed more for Kurt in later years). Not sure how she chooses her loyalties, but she is just as biased as teh others.
Sandra doesn't commentate for ice dance. Pairs, Mens, and Ladies yes... ice dance is Tracy Wilson (another canadian).
Tracy Wilson is a much better commentator than Sandra Bezic and is not biased. I really enjoy her commentary - especially the Olympics. She points out good things in all the couples.
Sandra was much better in the ladies though it seems that no lady went to Canada to get choreography. I was so surprised that she didn't really go on and on about Orser being Gao's coach. Maybe they do read internet feedback and she may have been spoken to about the Canadian cheerleading.
she's never been in Orser's camp, though. Scott is the one that gushes on and on about Orser's work as a coach - and rightfully so.

"Absolutely love these shoes!!! Super cute!!"

Poorly made
"I purchased these shoes to wear at my wedding. The good news is that they run true to size and were fairly comfortable. The bad news is that the are poorly made and didn't last beyond the wedding. When I got them, they had a stone missing and a small strand of stones was coming loose. But I figured this wouldn't show under my dress anyway. It was a small casual wedding, so I wasn't on my feet or dancing excessively or anything but by the end of the night there were several threads loose and the piece that holds all of the stones on one sandal had come off completely. I had really hoped to be able to wear these the rest of the summer but now they're pretty much ruined. A total waste of money- I'm just glad they weren't really expensive."

What a difference a week makes.
Last week, American Idol's producers couldn't wait to show guys singing badly, forgetting their words and acting horribly. Tonight, faced with an apparent surplus of female talent, they picked their nightmare contestants carefully -- and then sent them through the rounds anyway.
Kez Ban, the hat-wearing fire-eater who auditioned with I've Got No Strings, continued to make her presence known during Wednesday's Hollywood Round, refusing to sing anything with her group that wasn't California Dreamin' (she eventually compromised on Be My Baby). Then she disrupted rehearsals to the point where her fellow singers abandoned her to rehearse on their own.
The result? "You're a crazy psycho, and I love that," said Nicki Minaj, shortly before the judges put the entire group -- which included legitimate contestants (and potential finalists) Angela Miller and Janelle Arthur.
And so it was the entire night.
LIVE BLOG: Hollywood as it happened
After a brutal initial round that whittled the field of females to just 76 -- leaving several good singers who had impressive auditions wondering what had just hit them -- the Group Round seemed designed to provide comic relief, with no real rhyme or reason for any of the decisions made afterwards.
When Daysia Hall forgot the words to Somebody That I Used to Know, she still stayed, even though Savannah Votion, who created most of the group's arrangement, got cut. Janell Stinney went all drama-queen on her group and learned hardly any of the words to If I Die Young, but somehow she survived. (Fortunately, she didn't take down Cristabel Clack, also in her group, in the process.) Platinum blonde Stephanie Schimel convinced her group to change their song at the last minute. Two members of the group paid dearly for her decision, but Schimel survived. Nicki Minaj chastised girls for reading lyrics off their hands, yet didn't cut them on the spot.
Zoanette Johnson sulked her way through rehearsal, then stomped her way through a performance of Knock on Wood that not only allowed her to continue but also gave the other singers in her group enough reflected attitude that some of them survived, too. Johnson may not be much of a singer, but she's one of the most riveting performer the show has seen - even though she's compelling like a car crash.
A few of the groups nailed their performance, including Candice Glover's Swagettes, who performed Blu Cantrell's Hit 'Em Up Style. Glover's looking like one of the women to beat this year, as is Miller.
One thing the Group Round did do: It cleared the field of would-be country singers. Janelle Arthur and Rachel Hale got pitted against each other early on. Both of them survived, meaning that singers like Brandy Neelly -- now a three-time Hollywood contestant -- were superfluous.
By the end of the night, some of the women -- including Angela Miller (whose Thursday solo performance got a big tease), Janelle Arthur, Rachel Hale and Candice Glover -- came out looking like strong contenders, possibly stronger than any of the guys at the same point last week.
After watching both sets of Hollywood Rounds, it wouldn't be hard to think that the show's producers intentionally made the female contestants look better than the males in an effort to produce a female winner this year.
But they wouldn't do that, would they?
Nah. Never happen.

I Really Wanted To Love This Hairdryer, But...After reading all the great reviews of the Sedu Revolution 4000i, I decided to purchase it as a "back up" hair dryer to my Elchim 2001 (also purchased through Folica.com). After receiving it and trying it out, I decided to exchange it. As I compared the performance of the Sedu 4000i and the Elchim 2001, here's what I found to be the pros and cons of the Sedu Revolution: Pros: 1) great compact size for travel; 2) its tourmaline feature reduces drying time considerably--could blow dry my layered hairstyle in less than 10 minutes; 3) hair feels very soft and free of static after drying. Cons: 1) expensive investment, when some other hair dyers can offer comparable results; 2) very noisy--high pitched noise emanating from this hair dryer can be irritating (one of the key reasons I exchanged it); 3) did not give my hair the volume that I achieved through the Elchim 2001--the Sedu left my hair soft, but flat; 4) the Sedu, though compact, was not as lightweight as I expected, because most of its weight is concentrated in one area of the dryer. With all the rave reviews this hair dryer has received, I wanted to love the Sedu Revolution, too, but, after comparing the performance of the Elchim 2001 (which I've had for two years now--performs great with exceptional results--no complaints!), I have to say I'll stand by my Elchim any day. Though the Elchim 2001 may require 5-10 minutes more to completely dry my hair, it's much quieter than the Sedu, still leaves my soft and gives my hair noticeably more volume (and it was less of an investment)...all important considerations to me. Must credit Folica.com for great selection of products, superior customer service and the availability of honest customer feedback--Folica.com and my Elchim 2001 receive 5 stars from me.Mar 12, 2011Anne / MassachusettsHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair

Finally, A Hair Dryer With Airflow!I was pretty fed up with hairdryers under $50. Ceramic, ionic, whatever. They were all running super hot, but barely blowing any air. I remember hair dryers i had 15 years ago that worked better. I was finding myself blow drying forever and DREADING coming out of the shower to do this tedious task.
I have wavy hair that takes a long time to dry. I like straight hair, volumous in the root area.
I decided to invest in something a little more expensive, hoping the higher price would reflect in the quality. I was NOT let down.
This dryer has multiple settings making it appropriate for any hair type. I like to use it on high because i like a lot of air flow to help me move the hair, dry the roots and straighten it before i use the round brush. My hair dries so quickly and stays smoothe yet voluminous the way i like it. My boyfriend even used it and commented with "wow, your new hair dryer actually WORKS! it must have cost over $200"
Not quite $200. but still worth every penny.
The smaller size makes it so much easier to handle. The condenser stays on nice and tight and doesnt turn without my permission. Light, Compact and Quiet.
Highly reccommended!Mar 10, 2011Alicia / MAHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Dryer Makes My Over-processed Hair Look And Feel Super Healthy!!I really love this dryer. This is my first expensive dryer purchase and it was definitely worth it. I have been highlighting my hair on and off for years which has made it dry on the ends. When I use this dryer it makes my hair so soft and healthy looking. I look like I just had a blowout from the salon. The power of the air flow is intense but not too hot which is nice. Also, it has a few different settings and a cool shot button. Overall, it's a great purchase and I would recommend it.Mar 6, 2011Stephanie / Long Island, N.YHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Blasts Like A Jet EngineI was a little put off by the diminutive size of this hair dryer when I first opened the box because it looks like a travel dryer. Don't let the compact size fool you. The Sedu delivered the blast of air necessary to dry my mane of bushy thick hair in record time. I was a loyal T3 user for years, but when my last T3 finally got too tired to perform, I thought I would try something new. The reviews of the Sedu convinced me to take the plunge. I am glad that I did. The Sedu is far superior to other dryers I have used in actual drying time. My only caution is that there are only two air speed controls and two temperature controls which impedes precision styling. I find that I need to use a flat iron to really polish my hair after using the Sedu, but the time I save in drying is worth the extra step.Mar 3, 2011StephanieHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Amazing!To me, this is the best dryer I have ever used. I was a little skeptical about the price, but once I used it I quickly forgot about how much I paid! It dried very quickly and left my hair feeling so soft. And since I have extremely dry frizzy hair, that was important to me! I still had to flat iron afterward, but that's only because I'm not very good at using the round brush and dryer simultaneously! I would definitely recommend this hair dryer to anyone!Mar 2, 2011Shannon C. / HawaiiHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Love It!!!I absolutely love this hair dryer! It is awesome! I have really super thick wavy hair and when I blow dry my hair with this, my hair becomes pretty straight & super soft & silky! With my old dryer it use to take me about 20-25 minutes to completely dry my hair (on the highest heat setting) and then another 20-30 minutes to straighten. With this Sedu Revolution it now takes me about 8-10 minutes!!! And that's on the lowest heat setting!! And then I just have to do some touch ups with my flat iron which takes about 8 minutes! This is the best hair dryer I have used so far!!!Mar 1, 2011Desteny / Kauai, HawaiiHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Revolutionized My Life!I know it's cliche, but this blow dryer changed my life. I have long, thick curly hair. (Type 3b). Before I got this blow dryer, I was using a Conair 1875 watt dryer. It took forever to dry my hair, and left my hair feeling like straw. A round brush blow dry would take me 45 minutes, then I would have to spend half an hour flat ironing my hair. Despite the fact I have been doing this for 10 years, it still took me over an hour to style my freshly shampooed hair. This meant I could only wash my hair on weekends.
With this blow dryer I can blow dry my whole head in 30 minutes, and it leaves my hair smooth, shiny, and bouncy. (For reference I use the highest heat, the fastest speed, and turn the ion switch on.) I only need to touch up the baby hairs at the front with a flat iron for salon perfect hair. I can now was my hair midweek!
Additionally, my hair feels so much healthier with this blow dryer. It also stands up to humidity. Once my hair is dry and I hit it with the cool shot, it stays through almost anything. As I have used this dryer more and more, I find my drying time decreases. For some reason I feel that my hair dries quicker overall. By the time I get out of the shower and towel off, my hair is 80% dry before I reach for the blow dryer.
My hair has never looked better. I highly recommend this dryer to anyone looking for healthy, shiny hair, and a short drying time.Feb 28, 2011Sarah / PhiladelphiaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

|Bret Tennant reports to the Emery Town council on the youth council activities.
Emery Town has recently formed a Youth City Council and during the town council meeting, the youth council was introduced. Mistie Christiansen is the advisor, with members of the youth council being Lacie McArthur, Jesse Baker, Taryn Baker, Denny Mangum and Jaylene Mangum. Bret Tennant, reported that the youth council is planning to sponsor the dance during the Pioneer Days celebration. The dance will be held on July 22, with Al Shakespaere as the DJ.
The town council then addressed an issue of water meter charges to an apartment building in town. Mayor Michael Williams said that the apartment building has four units, with three units being occupied at the current time. At present, the apartment is being charged the same rate as a single unit dwelling in Emery. During a typical month, the building goes over the usage allotment for a single dwelling.
Mayor Williams stated that other commercially billed establishments in Emery are charged at a different rate, and it is his feeling that this building should be charged a commercial rate to differentiate it from single unit dwellings. The council agreed and entered into a discussion of possible rate changes.
The decision was made to charge a flat fee for the sewer and for four garbage cans. As for the water, it was decided to charge $50 for the multiple unit rate, and when the 20,000 gallon limit is reached, to apply a $15 overage fee for each 10,000 gallons of water used. For secondary water, the standard fee will be charged.
Councilman Eric Anderson reported that he is investigating the installation of dumpsters in Emery for the town residents to use. He said that other towns in Emery County are doing this as a benefit to their residents. One of the other towns has the dumpsters fenced off to eliminate garbage blowing away from the site. He also noted that a cement pad would be beneficial. The council tabled any action on this item until more information can be obtained.
Susan Praast displayed the plaque to be installed on the new climbing rock in the park. The plaque is in honor of the winners of the contest to name the new attraction in the park. The winners were Justin and Ariel Sundstrom and their submission was "Mini Mt. Emery." Along with having the plaque mounted on the rock, the winners will also receive a cash prize.
Emery Town is accepting bids for the removal and trimming of trees in the town's cemetery. Only one written bid has been received, so the council approved to table any action on this item until more bids are received.
Several other bids are anticipated.
Praast told the council that the town office has received numerous complaints concerning dogs running loose in town. Mayor Williams explained the town's policy on this matter.
The first step in the process is to write a letter of warning, or to verbally warn the owners of the animals.
The next step, if no action is taken on the part of the owners, is to write the party a citation.
Following the writing of a citation, the dog owner will be required to appear before the justice court judge and face a fine.
Marie Anderson, of the Emery County Recreation board, reported concerning the upcoming rodeo to be held during the Emery County Fair in Castle Dale.
She encouraged all council members and Emery residents to support the rodeo.
Another item Anderson reported was concerning an ATV class to be held in Castle Dale on July 20.
This class is designed to make ATV riders, age 8-16, legal to ride on public lands.
The next Emery Town meeting will be held on Aug. 9 at 6 p.m. in town hall.

"I was a little nervous because I had to shop on line due to an ice storm before my trip to Colorado. These boots came very quickly and they fit perfectly! I wore them almost every day and night in the snow with temps around 0 - 20 degrees....The fur lining was wonderful..... I stayed warm and cozy as well as comfortable. Even wore them with my minx coat and they were great!"

Stylish and practical winter boot
"Perfect for a quick change into workplace shoes--they look good and keep feet warm and dry. Also good when a pair of winter hiking boots isn't going to cut it--shoveled a foot of snow off the driveway in these babies-- surprisingly good traction, feet remained warm and dry. Love 'em!"

Soooo cute and different !
"These boots look better in person than online. I was very please that I was able to adjust the boot with the straps because I have skinny ankles. The soles are a little on the hard side but I think it's worth it to break them in. I ordered them online not being too sure about them but was blown away. I would say they run slightly small. I have very thin feet some 5 1/2's are way too big on me but I am 8 1/2 months preggers so that might be it!"

Favorite boot of all time
"I am so happy I purchased the last one in my size. I bought a pair a couple months ago and have worn them a lot, even around the house. So comfy. I bought another pair just in case the first ones wear out. I even wore them fishing the other day, got them wet in the lake and they kept my feet dry. I LOVE them.. cute with shorts, skirt, tights, jeans. bathrobe. Very comfy for such a hard sole. <3"

"I have been stalking these boots for a while now. I finally ordered them and while yes they are very cute, they just don't seem to work with anything. The boot is not wide enough to wear with anything less than skin tight leggings tucked in and they bunch up all weird when put underneath boot cut jeans. I guess they will be okay with dresses in the Spring but they are a let down:("

Help the City of Tallahassee develop the proposed Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) budget without leaving the comforts of your home or office. The City is seeking additional input from citizens through an online budget survey. Citizen input, including the results of the survey, will aid staff in crafting a balanced budget that addresses the needs of the City's diverse communities, reflects shared priorities and moves the City toward important goals.
By completing the brief 14-question survey you can share your thoughts on a range of topics from what City services you have used in the past six months to your level of support on a variety of services and programs. Following the budget questions, there are optional demographic questions. One survey per person/computer will be accepted through May 31.
The online survey was developed to compliment feedback garnered from citizens at the three Community Budget Workshops held around Tallahassee in April. At these workshops, citizens provided input on items similar to those on the online survey and participated in a fun Tallahassee Twister game to learn more about City functions.
"We have a history of including citizens in the budget process and have worked this year to make it easy as well as fun," said Heath Beach, manager of the City's Office of Budget and Policy. "From informative games at our recent budget workshops to this quick and easy survey, we really want to hear from our customers."
Information from the online survey and the public meetings will be summarized and presented to the City Commission as part of the FY14 budget process. The results will also be posted to Talgov.com as well as shared on the City's Facebook and Twitter sites.
Going through a similar process during the past two years has provided direct results to participants. Based on feedback offered by citizens, the City Commission allocated resources to high priorities such as a specific initiative on small business retention and allocated $25,000 for community gardens.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
The Democrat Nominating Convention was called to order by Secretary Kim Player on April 23 at the Huntington Senior Center. Chairman Gary Petty conducted the meeting. Petty introduced the dignitaries, Gary Kofford, Chairman of the Emery County Commission, newly elected County Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth, Sheriff LaMar Guymon, and State Representative District 69, Christine Watkins.
Petty introduced Glenn Wright of Summit County who presented a proposition. The proposition is about redistricting for the Senate, Congressman, State Senate, State Representative, and the State School Districts. Wright is a member of an organization called Fair Boundaries. Fair Boundaries is a non-partisan group put together by Republicans and Democrat's about two months ago. The task is to get on the 2010 ballot an issue that would require the establishment of a nine member non-partisan commission for redistricting after the 2010 census.
Fair Boundaries believes that in a true Democracy voters pick their leaders, not the other way around. It is our civic duty to make sure Utah's representatives are accountable to the populations they serve, and that quality candidates have a fair chance to challenge incumbents.
In Utah the proposed nine member commission would consist of four Democrats and four Republicans, they would select one other person to be chairman. Their job in re-drawing the districts would be to follow, as much as possible, city and county boundaries. Wright then asked the group if they would support a resolution requiring the Fair Boundaries be on the ballot by getting signatures on the petition. A sign up sheet was then passed around for volunteers that would be willing to help get signatures on the petitions. Petitions will be delivered, to those that signed up, in June. More information can be found at www.fairboundaries.org.
Petty called on Commissioner Gary Kofford to give a report of what is going on in the county. Kofford said, "There are good things happening in all areas of the county. I appreciate all of you for the support you give especially to Commissioner Pitchforth, it was a wonderful thing when she was elected and she has done an excellent job representing the people of Emery County and it is a pleasure to work with her. We have a good commission right now, there is not too much contention in it. We are getting a lot of things done. I can tell you several things that I am involved in.
"I do appreciate the sheriff too. It is great to work with him and he is a good man and I think he has done a lot of good for Emery County over the years. He has 35 or 36 years in service to Emery County.
"This morning we had a final inspection on the airport. We have built two buildings, one of which is called a 'T' hangar and one that has four individual hangars. If you are out there get Leon Defriez to open up the big hangar door. You can put a plane with a 50 foot wing span in that hangar.
"The building behind it has the 'T' hangars there are four of them in it. These are built so you can lease them out to individuals. They each have a door that is 48 foot wide. I went out there today on the final inspection and Leon has already got two of them rented. Kerwin Jensen's helicopter is in one hangar and it looks like it belongs there. This is a great addition to the community.
"Mark Johansen and Leon Defriez are the proprietors of the airport. He is presently in Duchesne and he has been doing quite a bit of work out of the Price airport. Mark will now be working out of the Huntington airport.
"One fellow said to me today, after he had looked at the airport, that the only thing we need now is a good café and a good motel to sustain the people that come in here. I suggested to him that he build one or the other. His reply was that he did not have the money to do it. Somewhere we need to pull in a café and a motel. Not meaning to run down the cafés and motels we have. But people have a mind set that we need those things, like a nice café that served something beside hamburgers and fast food.
"Bevin Wilson sits on the UDOT Commission and represents this part of the world and through his efforts we got a little bit of stimulus money. That amounts to $2 million that will go on the Goblin Valley Road and right behind that will be another $2 million that will be a second contract to finish up the Hanksville Road into Goblin Valley. That will probably be done next June or so We have what is called a TS and E which is a review with UDOT on the May 5. That is to be bid around the 24 or 25.
"Behind that you have Lila Canyon UtahAmerican Energy, the same owners that own the West Ridge Mine and the Crandall Canyon Mine developing what is called Lila Canyon which is actually an extension of Horse Canyon if you are familiar with the Book Cliffs. Rather than going through the old Horse Canyon they are putting in a new portal in Lila Canyon and mining under the Book Cliffs back towards Green River. That has been a process of about 10 years to get it permitted. But it is permitted. There are still appeals against it and it is a race to see if the appeal gets heard or if UAE gets into the coal. SUWA is appealing the process of getting the mine permitted. The mine owners have to drive about a 330 foot rock tunnel to get to the coal. If UAE gets into the coal first then the appeal goes away. That does require a road which is about another $6 million through the efforts of the county, the special service district and UAE we are trying to come up with the money. It will be paid entirely by UAE, but the county is trying to help put it in place. That road needs to be in place for UAE's and the miners benefit by next June. So they can start trucking coal out of there. That is when they anticipate starting to truck coal out of the mine. The coal will be taken to Ridge Road near Wellington.
"Long term UAE are talking two scenarios, one is to reactivate the old load out facility where East Carbon used to come in on the road, and the other is to put a conveyor from the mine down to close to State Highway 6 and bring a railroad spur in. That is awfully expensive but it is expensive to truck it too.
"In order to do what they call due diligence they have to mine one percent of that coal within three years after they have started. The clock doesn't start running until the appeals process is over or until they hit coal. Once they hit coal they have 2.5 years to mine more than 300,000 tons. That will mean about 250 jobs in Carbon and Emery county.
"It means stabilization of West Ridge Mine. MSHA made them shut down for 2.5 months this spring. Part of the argument was that they wanted to leave every other column. The way MSHA wants them to mine is to go from a column, leave a column and mine the next column. This cuts the production in half. The way a long wall advances, they normally go from one column to the next column to the next column. That is what the orders are now and that is what they are doing.
"That means that Lila Canyon has to be producing in order to keep their contract going. This is a faster schedule than they anticipated. Their intent has been to complete West Ridge's as close as possible and then move the equipment to Lila Canyon, because of the MSHA ruling. To do due dilligence they will have to move into Lila Canyon earlier than anticipated. The change in the way coal is mined is due to what happened at the Crandall Canyon Mine.
"By the way, LaMar Guymon has been appointed to the Mine Safety Technical Advisory Council. He was appointed by the Mine Safety Office and is representing Emery County.
"We are trying to get money together to remodel the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center, in Ferron. We have an architect on board.
"Commissioner Pitchforth is over the Care Center and doing a fantastic job with them. We are going to have to replace all of the sewer lines in the building, the water lines, lavatories, toilets, showers, basically everything but the shell and concrete will have to be replaced. We will end up refurbishing the whole thing, including building a new kitchen and laundry facility. We hope to go to CIB on this. We have some money in the Municipal Building Authority and we hope to get a 50-50 match grant from CIB to get this funded. Because of the nature of the project we would like to get started as soon as possible in July and have the building closed in by October for the safety of all the people over there.
"Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center has been a good thing for Emery County. They built it in 1965 with some federal funds. Think about all the people that have went through there out of Emery County it has been a great service to Emery County. A facility that we need to keep up. The only reason we didn't build a new one is because of money.
"When Laurie looked into the Care Center problems she said why mess with this? Lets build a new one. The architect said, 'We can refurbish this one for between $2-3 million and a new one would be above $6 million.' That is just for the original facility, that does not include the wing that goes out to the South. Money is a big problem and always will be.
"A lot of the things that we are doing when we talk about this money, it needs to be pointed out that it is not coming from taxpayer money it is coming from mineral lease money. This is not part of the burden that taxpayers are bearing. It is money that has come from coal mining but now is coming from coal bed methane such as gas wells. This money has been a benefit to Emery County and the State of Utah. This is money the legislators continue to look at and try to pull it away from us.
"Yesterday I was in a meeting with Deeann Bodily, she stated that 33 percent of the people in Carbon and Emery counties qualify for Medicare either through income or through age. Whereas on the Wasatch Front it is about 5-7 percent of the population that qualify for Medicare. But when it comes down to funding you're still funded based on population. So we are trying to treat one-third of our population while on the Wasatch Front they only have to treat 5-7 percent.
"When you talk about re-districting and I am not throwing things at the Republicans, when you look at Carbon and Emery counties, we did come up with a senator this year. David Hinkins has done a good job and I compliment him. I am happy to say he is from Emery County and I think he will represent us well. He represents all of SouthEastern Utah though. County boundaries would make a lot more sense. Regardless of who gets the seat.
"The swimming pool has been a hit. We average 200 people a day at the swimming pool. It starts at 5 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m.. There are more than 100 ladies in three aquasize classes.
"We are in the process of building a park next to it. If you have been over there and looked at it, the ground was a dumping ground for when they were building the high school and the auditorium. There has been a lot of concrete and steel hauled in there. The contractor has put in a separator and a clarifier and he has put through better than 72,000 tons of soil and I do not know how many tons of concrete he has hauled out.
"We required in the contract that they put 12 inches of top soil depth for burying the sprinkler system. The contractor has a D8 Cat and the other day he unearthed a piece of concrete bigger than your pickup. This is what he has to put up with while trying to make a park out of this ground. He has done an excellent job and it is going to be a beautiful park, with a restroom, a pavilion, three gazebos with tables and a soccer field, something that is really not in Emery County.
"I would like to make the point that Emery County has the best employees of any place. I have done several jobs in my history and worked with a lot of people. The people in Emery County are as hard working, dedicated, loyal and productive as any place. You hear criticism sometimes about them but I will put them up against anybody, anywhere, anyplace. There is nobody better than what we have right here in Emery County. They are top people. I do appreciate them. Thanks for your help and support," said Commissioner Kofford.
Gary Petty said we sure appreciate what Gary Kofford has done for the county and the Democrat party.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth said, "It has been quite a year and I want to thank all of you here because I would not be in this position without your help and support throughout the election and I thank you so much. If it was not support it was encouragement to hang in there. All these things that Gary was talking about and a lot of things he did not mention are happening in our first 90 days. When they say this is a part-time job I haven't figured that out yet, because I know how much time I am putting in and Commissioner Kofford puts in twice as much time as does our sheriff. I want you to know that Gary is an amazing commissioner. He has taught me so much. I recently had occasion to be with Sheriff Guymon and a group of his officers, they are a great group of men. Every where I go some one will ask, 'do you know Sheriff Guymon?' There isn't anyone that has anything bad to say about him. They all love him and they all appreciate him. They all tease him, but they all respect him very much.
"I am really proud of this county and all the things we have accomplished and that we are going to accomplish in the next few years. Thank you for all of your support," said Commissioner Pitchforth.
Sheriff Guymon said, "I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 40 years. It seems like only a week a month or year. I am looking at Commissioner Collard, and Commissioner Wilson, it seems like they were there yesterday. I think back at the things they did, they started a lot of good things in the county. The two commissioners that we have now, have just carried that on. I can tell you from experience that this last year has been an absolute relief to be able to get back to doing things and not have to worry about how you are judged and taken advantage of when you try to do things. It has been a real treat to be able to get back out and do work and have it appreciated. I appreciate the commissioners so very much. Gary has been out with us on search and rescue. Laurie has listened every time I have had a request. The other thing I appreciate is that they do not beat around the bush and drag things on months and months trying to get an answer. I get an answer and I can get on with the business that needs done. They are very supportive and that is appreciated. I have a few committee assignments and that takes me out of the office quite a bit. I used to worry about that, but I have such a good staff that I can go and do the things that I need to get done and not worry about things not getting taken care of.
"As Gary said we have some of the best employees ever and my guys treat me with all the respect in the world and seem to have just as much interest in the job as I do. That is hard to find. I take my job very personally. It is very important to me that the job gets done right for that is my reputation, my life that is on the line and my job that is on the line. They take good care of me and make sure that I look good and I appreciate that.
"We have had an interesting time. Every time election time comes, I continually hear that I am retiring. Just so that I can set the record straight, I do not intend to retire, although I have set a retirement date and that day will be three days before the viewing. That is my intention. I am sure I will have competition. I have never not had competition. That doesn't bother me that much because that makes you work twice as hard. As Gary said we do need to get out and give all of those offices some competition. Some of those have never had any competition and they get lax in their position. I look at my job every day like I have to do it right or tomorrow I won't be here and every elected official needs to look at their job that way. I intend to continue to do my job the very best that I can.
"Our county is changing, our recreation is just absolutely booming. You used to be able to go down on the Swell and spend two-three days and never see anybody. Now today I am out there for about four hours doing other things and every campsite in the draw is full. Weekends now are bigger than Easter used to be and that is taking more and more of our time. Thank goodness that our commissioners saw wisdom in signing the contract with the BLM and we have funding to take care of that.
"I thoroughly enjoy my job and look forward to it everyday. Everyday is a different adventure an it doesn't seem at all like 40 years to me," said Sheriff Guymon.

Posted on 05/30/2007 10:04:56 AM PDT by Between the Lines
On May 23, 2007, the White House, silently and without any fanfare, released an official White House photo of Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, welcoming their sixth grandchild, Samuel David Cheney, into the Cheney fold.
The beautiful little tyke weighed in at 8 lbs., 6 oz. and was born at 9:46 a.m. at Sibley House in Washington, D.C.
What is extremely troubling is the official White House caption that appears underneath the photo on the official White House website:
... His parents are the Cheney's daughter Mary, and her partner, Heather Poe. White House photo by David Bohrer.
Since when have two homosexual women been able to naturally procreate?
Fact is Mary Cheney, the Vice President's daughter - in one way or another - received a male's sperm. She is the biological mother, parent number one, and some man, somewhere out there, is Samuel David's real biological father, parent number two.
Unlike the official White House photo caption, a man and a woman, a Daddy and a Mommy, are Samuel David Cheney's REAL biological parents.
Then who is Heather Poe?
Heather Poe is Mary Cheney's live-in lesbian lover. She may act like a parent, she may treat the baby as a parent, she may love this baby with all of her heart, but in this reality we all live in, Heather Poe is NOT the baby's real parent. She has NO biological connection to the child whatsoever. Some man, the baby's real Daddy, is the child's other REAL parent.
If the Vice President and his wife Lynne are joining their daughter Mary in playing this homosexual game of "house," then all have chosen their roles and designated lesbian lover Heather Poe as the "Daddy."
Everyone knows there can only be one REAL biological Mommy. We are all grown adults. Playing "house" is a game for children, not for The White House or the Vice President and his wife.
What is so hypocritical of this Administration is its "double-speak."
President George W. Bush held several presses conferences calling for a Federal Marriage Amendment to protect the God-ordained institution of marriage between one man and one woman, while homosexuals pushed for the union of two men or two women to be equally recognized as real "marriage."
However, the President's number two, right hand man, Vice President Dick Cheney, clearly rebels against his superior, makes a public mockery of the President and the current Administration he is supposed to represent, and clearly holds to a different set of moral standards and beliefs.
When President Bush stood on the victory stage several years ago after being elected into office by values voters, Mary Cheney was on stage as well with her lesbian lover, Heather Poe. It was a slap in the face to the values voters who had just elected the duo into office. That wound has never healed.
While this little innocent child Samuel David Cheney deserves every fighting chance at life, the sins of two women, Mary Cheney and Heather Poe, have deliberately denied the Vice President's grandson one of the most basic human rights of all: the right to a Daddy and a Mommy.
I say shame on the White House, shame on the President and shame on the Vice President for allowing such a caption to be "officially" added onto the White House website and such a beautiful photo of two happy grandparents and their new grandchild.
I guess we can tragically and officially say both the White House and Bush Administration have officially recognized the sinful sexual unions of homosexuals, as well as recognized and embraced the tragedy of the social experiment of homosexual parenting.
"This thread is being hijacked. Remain in your seats. We are returning to the airport."
what do you mean? We haven't even gotten to illegal aliens yet.
My bad. the post immediately following yours is about — tadaah — illegal aliens!
One thought that came to mind is that he has to be outspokenly anti-gay to reassure his wife he will not backslide.
If the parties were switched and Cheney and family were democrats; the picture would not simply be Dick and Lynne with the grandchild.
It would be of the grandparents with Mary AND Heather featured prominently. Oh yes, and the baby, too.
Standing up for what you believe will always appall someone.
And while having a child raised by lesbians might not be ideal, neither would having a child raised by old grandparents.
Actually we were just 39 at the time. We are 47 now and raising a 3yo granddaughter that has cerebral palsy.
I also have to point out that I think you're misinformed if you think a grandparent can simply go to court win custody of a child because they disagree with the lifestyle of the child's parents(s).
Apparently you don't understand the concept of a bluff. I know how hard it is to get custody of any child no matter how bad the child's circumstance. Two of my 5 children are adopted and even though their parents were abusive neglecting and in prison, it still wasn't easy.
We were bluffing and it worked. We have no regrets for preventing a child from being raised by lesbians even if one of those lesbians is our daughter and even though that child would have been our grandchild.
Thank you for demonstrating that some people, gay or straight, should not be parents.....You are pathetic!
The term "real" is not used to describe the sperm / egg donor parents any longer. It is "biological" or "birth", versus "adoptive" or simple "parents". "Real" is who raised you, who loves you, who sacrificed for you.
I have friends who have "snowflake babies" — children born from a frozen (then thawed) egg/sperm donors, then implanted into my friend. She is the "adoptive" and "birth" parent because she carried the child in her womb, and she and her husband did a legal "embryo adoption" through the courts.
Personally, I don't at all agree with creating life this way as a believer in Jesus Christ. I don't judge them for their choice, but I wish they would have quietly and confidentially taken this unconventional route without ever revealing to their children how they were conceived, bought, paid for, and adopted. She's the birth mom — she (and husband) are "real" parents. It is creating too much identity crisis and confusion for them, IMHO.
I am my four children's "real" and "adoptive" mother, and they remember well their own "biological" or "birth" parents, as they call them.
well said — there isn't. Grandparents have legal rights in most states for contact and visitation, but not to jerk a child out from a home that has immoral behavior, unless it shows harm to that child.
O ye of little faith.
Don't hold back, tell me how you really feel. After all it is all about feelings, what is right for the child is irrelevant.
Do you have any gay children? If not, then what you think you would or wouldn't do in this case is just speculation and irrelevant. It is amazing how pious one can be when they themselves have not been tested.
But do please enlighten me as to what you would have done and if you can, do try not to make it sound like a leftist gay pamphlet on the subject.
This should be interesting.
"The paernts are the mother and whoever donated the sperm."
Biologically, yes. Legally, no.
Somewhat off topic (A mini-hijacking of the thread!)
Medical science is already making so much of this type of arguement moot.
From The Baltimore Sun, May 17, 2007 (excerpt)...
A baby conceived from an egg donated by one woman and implanted in another may have no mother at all under Maryland law, the state's highest court ruled yesterday.
Issued more than four years after the matter was brought to the Court of Appeals, the 4-3 opinion creates blank spaces under "mother" in the birth certificates of twins born in 2001 at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring.
The man who arranged for the children to be born from his sperm and donated eggs, and the woman with whom he arranged to carry them, brought the case. The two wanted it made clear that she had no legal claims or responsibility for the children.
"What had not been fathomed exists today," Chief Judge Robert M. Bell wrote for the majority. "The methods by which people can produce children have changed."
The ruling is pioneering because of its basis on the state's Equal Rights Amendment: The court found that paternity laws apply equally to men and women.
(End of Excerpt)
An attorney friend of mine states rulings such as this chances leading to "gestating" literally becoming much more of a "for profit" industry - since there will be no chance the "gestation/birth" mother will ever be considered the "legal" mother and, therefore, have no responsibility for the child. We shall see.
We told each of our boys at a young age about the adoptions and this has made our family stronger. Our boys know they were wanted and chosen. They would have figured out the adoption themselves anyway since they resemble their biological mother's family and don't look like my wife and me at all.
I'm happy that you were able to adopt as well. I'm sure you have found it as fulfilling as me or you wouldn't have done it four times.
Actually it has nothing to do with gay or straight in this case. It is simply a matter of a parent who is so much of a control freak as to deprive thier own child of the joy of parenthood. Your daughter would have been justified in moving away from you, birthing a beautiful child, and never even telling you about it. What really steames me is the self satisfied undertone you use when you tell your agonizing story. My prayers are with your daughter and the rest of your family whom I presume you have bullied as well.
Your daughter would have been justified in moving away from you, birthing a beautiful child, and never even telling you about it.
The fact that she and I are very close testifies that you are wrong about me.
What really steames me is the self satisfied undertone you use when you tell your agonizing story.
No, what really steams you is that not everyone buys into the idea of gay families and that some bonehead bigoted person like me was in a position to thwart one little part of your gay agenda.
However, I doubt that other grandchildren would be celebrated in such a emphatic manner.
Yes, the woman is doing what an aunt or a family friend who lives with the mother might do. Yes, she is parenting, but she represents a whole new kind of social relationship and it is a relationship I think immoral. What bothers me the most is that some are now saying that I ought not to say that it is immprtal, that I have no right to say this.
You do not know anything about me to be making such disparaging remarks about my character.
I know that you dont think your daughter can be a good mother because of some silly predjudice so you decided for her that she will not be one.
The fact that she and I are very close testifies that you are wrong about me.
I'd love to know what she thinks about that statement.
No, what really steams you is that not everyone buys into the idea of gay families and that some bonehead bigoted person like me was in a position to thwart one little part of your gay agenda.
I said nothing about gay families...the only family I was discussing was yours.
I'll bet you would have loved that baby...sorry you will never get the chance but I'm even more sorry for your daughter.
Yes, it has been amazing. But i adopted a sibling set of four (the girls came first — planned — and then one year later, the boys — not planned by me, only God).
So I'm keeping them altogether and life is awesome.
They are not the parents.
All that fake artifical donor stuff does not make parents.
I do have to wonder what these people have to say to the countless adopted children out there. All the ones that are now in good, loving homes. I'd love to see them go up to a friend of mine and try to tell her the kid she fought so hard to adopt and loves with all her heart isn't hers just because she didn't give birth to him.
Imagine a white hot knife, the largest knife you've ever held. Now, imagine someone stabbing you with that blade, then twisting it violently before ripping it out.
A little melodramatic don't you think. My daughter hates drama queens.
That's what it feels like to a child every time they hear 'I love you, but not what you do.'
BS. If loving a person is conditional to approving all of their actions then you could never really love anyone, because it is impossible to be in complete agreement with every action. Unconditional love requires us to separate the person from their actions.
I would bet your daughter cries that her parents would make such a hate filled statement to her.
I have no doubt that she agonized and cried over this. But she is a big girl and able to defend herself. In all of the negative posts to me about this, not one even hinted at what would be best for the child or how the child will feel growing up with two mommies. No, every single one of them dealt with only how my daughter or how they themselves felt.
My concerns were only for an unborn child, yours is only for the right to do whatever we want with no thought for consequences.
Maybe The White House has listened to Howard Stern:
"Lesbians mean big ratings!!!"
What's that to you? Why is that any of your damned business?
My comment:
"Fact is, two lesbians are going to raise a child that will have instilled in him that homosexuality is a normal and accepted lifestyle."
Your reply:
"What's that to you? Why is that any of your damned business?"
My reply, to your reply:
HOMOSEXUALITY IS A DEVIANT, IMMORAL LIFESTYLE! Boom!
So what? There's a lot of "deviant" things that consenting adults do. Why is it any of your damned business what they do?
I sense hostility, anger and a bit of emotional distress.
Normalizing such behavior as is the case with the Cheny's, causes young people to become deceived into thinking this behavior is ok, natural and accepted.
It is not.
Homosexual behaviors lead to social decay just as drugs, pedophilia, adultery and do forth.
Someone like the Vice President should keep such things under wraps within his household, not promoting it as a social norm.
For instance, would you care if our next president was someone who engaged in polygamy at one time? Even though he does not practice it now, he still is an open supporter of polygamy.
In fact, at a commencement speech full of young people, hints to the crowd that taking on two wives is really ok and that society will soon accept the practice, so be diligent and keep up the good work!
That's absurd. The same goes with two homosexuals getting married and raising a child.......breeds social decay.
Yeah - because I'm sick and tired of the Taliban wing of the Republican party, trying to be the Morality Police.
Homosexual behaviors lead to social decay just as drugs, pedophilia, adultery and do forth.
Homosexuality, adultery, and drug use are not in the same class as pedophilia. "One of these is not like the others."
And S&M leather mommies and daddies will screw up kids just as surely. Your point being?
Any time the homosexual degenerates try to hurt impressionable children by immersing them in the homosexual lifestyle, people of faith take exception.
What about the "divorced lifestyle"? My Bible condemns divorce. It condemns alcoholism. It condemns moneygrubbing. It condemns a whole lot of things that aren't the government's business - even if it's "for the children."
Oh, please! Give the Bush bashing a rest! The White House is simply acknowledging that the Cheneys have a new grandchild. I'm sure the Cheneys are happy to have him, regardless of the lack of marital status of their daughter.
I'm just guessing that this is the first semi-American Administration where this crap has happened. Contemporary semi(or pseudo)-american culture is vile.
And I (and plenty of others) are sick and tired of the lemming like march off the cliff led the so-called moral relativists (and dragging the rest of us along with you). Your use of the word "Taliban wing" of the Republican party is very telling.
All we want is to get the government OUT of the business of promoting sexual deviance and indeed, forcing it down out throats via judicial activism and legislative kowtowing to the homosexual activists and their assistants.
A very few generations ago all the homosexual agenda didn't exist, laws prohibiting sodomy, sexual deviance, and contributing to the deliquence of a minor were all on the books, and no one was compared to the Taliban.
This Taliban reference outs you as either a social liberal, liberal-tarian, or homosexual rights purveyor.
And, btw, there IS relevance in comparing homosexuality to pedophilia, as one third or more of all child molestation is same sex.
Nice try.
"Why is it any of your damned business what they do?"
Because they make it our damned business. If they kept it behind closed doors, no one would know or care. But since they don't keep it to themselves, and have publicly stated that they are out to change the entire world to suit them, they have MADE it our business.
As if you didn't know that. You're either part of the problem, or very, very young.
read later
I don't think the White House recognizes homosexual unions and parenting. The policies of the Bush Administration have stood for marriage between one man and one woman. However, it's a standard policy to release pictures of the new grandkids. That was all they were doing. I do feel sorry for the child because the child was purposefully deprived of a mother and father, and that is just not fair, imo. Plus, both these women are not his parents. A child has one mother and one father. In adoption, a new mother and father may take on the role of parenting, but that is a different situation than two women or two men. This child will also have a distorted view of morality. I am hoping Dick Cheney will be a father like figure to this little boy if his health holds up. Dick Cheney seems to support homosexual marriage, though, and it is most likely the child will grow up supporting it too.
My God have mercy on that lovely, poor little baby.
First off, you don't know me.....I am neither Republican nor Democrat.
I am conservative and I support traditional values. If we had more morals Mr.jude24, our country would not be experiencing the horrific social downturn we are now witnessing.
All sorts of stuff that once was considered wrong, deviant, taboo are being taught in schools, blatantly parroted on evening television and radio every day.
No thanx, you can have the anything goes / if it feels good do it / I'm good-your good mentality.
I'd prefer a more traditional existence.
Oh and by the way Jude24, I find it quite ironic your screen name considering your defense of Lesbian lovers raising children. Ever read the book of Jude?
Back up to JUDE 1: verse 4 and read on to JUDE 1 verse 24.
This tiny lil book is one of the least known in the bible, yet describes the deviant lifestyles your attempting to defend......good luck to ya.
Argue with the creator, these are HIS words not mine. It is HE whom you are at odds.
Never said that. What I said is that there are a lot of things Christians consider immoral that are none of the government's business.
Don't quote proof-texts to me - you will look in vain in the entire New Testament for anything remotely suggesting that the government is intended to be the enforcer of public morality. Just because I do not buy into your Focus on the Family propaganda doesn't mean I don't take Christianity and Christian morality seriously - but those are questions for internal catechesis, not external kulturkampfs.
Why yes the bible does. They are indeed just as bad in God's eyes.
Are you attempting to justify wrong behavior with wrong behavior?
Let me further quantify, we are all guilty. No one is without some sort of skeleton.
With that said, do we continue a downward slide into a society that allows anything? Not no, but heck no.
We learn from our mistakes and attempt to live better lives.
Adultery is wrong, abortion is wrong, homosexuality is wrong, drunkenness is wrong.
Am I the morality police for pointing out what is harmful to the family, harmful to society and what has been described for thousands of years as wrong?
Your all over the place. Who is talking about the government?
It appears as if you feel I'm judging you or someone you love. I am not.
I am just exhausted with the anything goes slide America finds herself.
I don't want homosexuality taught as an accepted lifestyle to my child by the liberal education establishment nor the liberal MSM.
Again, I didn't make these things up. You attack me as if I'm the one who wrote the bible.....argue with God.
No. Your problem is when you start demanding the government do something about it.
I want the government to stay out of as much as possible.
With that said, would you like to see gay marriage legal?
How about polygamy? What'cha think about legalization of abortion or drugs?
If the answer to any of those is Yes...then you and I are worlds apart.
There's a sensible suggestion.
By the way, the bible does in fact command us to obey our government and the law of the land as long as it does not circumvent God's law.
The bible is clear on the governments role in protecting society against moral decay..........and not just remotely as you are suggesting.

Posted on 08/16/2013 5:35:31 PM PDT by Baynative
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is a statist and a bully. The Senator, known for comparing U.S. soldiers to Nazis, recently used his senatorial letterhead to demand answers from us here at the Freedom Foundation. Sen. Durbin wants to know whether the Freedom Foundation is, or ever has been, a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
(Excerpt) Read more at myfreedomfoundation.com ...
ALEC is an organization made up of legislators, other organizations, and businesses that believe in fiscal conservatism, free markets, and constitutional federalism. Its meetings are about brainstorming and debating policy ideas, sharing information, and sometimes developing model legislation that legislators might choose to introduce in their own states. In short, ALEC allows people to talk about ideas
mostly conservative people, that is, and mostly conservative ideas.
For everyone on this board and across the nation and especially our Washington band of Freepers I am posting this to remind you how precious freedom is and how hard liberals are working around the clock to take it away from us.
Durbin's letter: Page 1
and Page 2
which means they're a danger to the progressive agenda and therefore an enemy of the state
that's how it works with progressives / liberals / commies / marxists / fascists
know you enemy and understand their tactics or you will have no hope of defeating them
In answer to your questions, I offer you only the last words broadcast by the Lithuanian free radio station on January 13, 1991, as Soviet troops were barging through their doors.
"It is possible that [the Soviet government] can break us with force
or close our mouths, but no one will make us renouce freedom
and independence"
I am so thankful to see that someone has finally responded to this tyrant.
I love it!
"Dear sen. Turbin.......Nuts!"
Durbin is a fricking constitution-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating communist!!
Wish we could burn him in effigy like the libtards do, but we'd be arrested for "threatening" him.
"Sen. Durbin wants to know whether the Freedom Foundation is, or ever has been, a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)."
I have never heard of ALEC, but if Sen. Turban is against it, it has to have something going for it.
Excellent, excellent response letter. Loved it. Put this letter in the congressional record and shove it Senator Turbin.

Great response to Comrade Senator Durbin from the freedom Foundation:
No one will make us renounce freedom
And I'll add mine to the commie lover:
You want my freedom, come and take it!
Wish we could burn him in effigy like the libtards do, but wed be arrested for threatening him.
Treat him as he is, get a thousand clowns together all wearing Durbin masks. Maybe flash mobs of clowns popping up all over the country.
Well, I live in Illinois, I'd be happy to burn Dick(head) Durbin in effigy ... problem is, I don't know how to make a likeness of Dick(head) Durbin. If someone could make one up for me, I'd be happy to burn Durbin in effigy at a busy intersection to see if I'll get arrested.
Last I looked, walking on the flag, urinating on the flag, and oh yeah -- burning politicians in effigy is FIRST AMENDMENT FREE SPEECH, and I'm always happy to practice that!
Sounds good to me!
Durbs hasn't heard of this "First Amendment" thing as he's too busy reading his little book of maoisms.
That is one hell of a smack down on Durbin. Glad to see it, thanks.
Durbin wanted to know if a conservative group was a member of another conservative group. Why the hell not?
Freepers, you are conservatives, would you please tell Durbin if you are a member of the conservative group known as Free Republic? Will you be honest and admit to the fact you are a member of Free Republic? Do you give any money to keep Free Republic on the internet? My God, will you admit to being a monthly donor? Or a dollar a day donor? A donor occasionally?
I WISH WE COULD ALL GO TO WASHIINGTON AND BE THERE WHEN DURBIN'S COMMITTEE TRIES TO DO AWAY WITH SELF DEFENSE. HE WOULD TAKE YOUR GUN RIGHT NOW IF HE COULD. A POX ON DURBIN AND EVERYONE LIKE HIM (yes, I am yelling).
I have heard of ALEC and did not know its purpose or why leftists hated it enough to pressure companies to distance themselves from it. Wow. Now I understand. Way to go FF!
Dick Durbin should be criminally investigated for using the power of the government to inquire into the use of the civil right of free speech and association.
Thank you for the help, Laz.
They are far too long winded. The proper response to Durbin is as follows;
Dear Senator Durbin,
Kiss our collective asses.
And as long as there are plenty of AR-15s and other rifles, the govt will fear the people and there will be liberty.
Thanks for the ping, Baynative!
SOmebody should ask Dustbin if he is or ever was a member of the COmmunist Party USA...
Oh, wait... he's a Democrat. Same thing. Never mind.
Imagine my surprise to find an article comparing King David and Bill Clinton! The article says that David was a risk-taker, occasionally overzealous with the opposite sex - '... a man-god who, despite his flaws, became a great leader of his people.' There was a picture of Clinton scowling to reinforce the silly comparison.
As I have repeatedly pointed out recently, this is evidence of Stalinism insidiously pervading our whole society [to wit lately that hapless rodeo clown.] The American Stalinists have done to Egypt just what they hope to do to America.
see my #39 above
Write a letter-to-the-editor to this mag in your own inimitable style and let us know if they print it.
Some things just scream for a pushback (or a slingshot)!
Oh Yeah! Done dat right after seein' da stoopid ting! This is not cuneiform script!]
Thanks Baynative.
Anyone who knows and loves the great narrative histories of the Bible will tremble for what David would actually do if confronted with blather like that. He did not respond moderately to people attempting flattery by slighting those to whom he owed honor. He did respond with kingly authority.
He's always be one.

Police Find Panhandler Dead In Car
Yakima police say they've found one of their most prolific panhandlers dead in his car last night near a Taco Bell.
Police say the man is identified as 56-year-old Douglas Budd.
In addition, officers found almost $2,000, and half a pound of heroin worth about $83,000.
Budd's death is still unknown at the moment, however, officers believe he may have died from an overdose.

Here comes the rain and thunderstorms! Radar will be filling in from west to east as we move through today. Some locally heavy downpours are possible.
Expect widespread rainfall totals of 0.50"-1.00" - I can't rule out some locally heavier spots.
The severe weather threat should remain well to our south today. That is the good news!
I hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather on Friday and Saturday. Would have been nicer if the clouds didn't stick around on Saturday morning/early afternoon. Still, not bad for early March.
A more active severe weather pattern may develop as we move into the end of March.
