Instruction Memorandum No. 2006-004
Expires: 09/30/2007
To: State Directors
From: Assistant Director, Mineral, Realty, and Resource Protection
Subject: Interim Guidance for Implementation of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 [P.L. 109-58] for Federal Coal Leasing
PROGRAM AREA: Coal Management.
PURPOSE: Provide interim guidance for implementation of Section 432 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 [P.L. 109-58] which increases the limitation for lease modifications from 160 acres to 960 acres.
POLICY: Until final regulations are completed to implement P.L. 109-58, BLM will administer a policy for lease modifications that is consistent with current regulations and P.L.109-58. Unless specifically noted in this memorandum, the regulations will continue to be implemented as currently written. The interim lease modification policy is as follows.
· BLM must document in writing that each lease modification:
o Will not displace other competitive commercial interests in the lands or deposits;
o Does not include coal deposits that can be developed as a part of another potential or existing mining operation; and
o Will be in the interest of the United States. The interest of the United States includes a tract configuration that provides for maximum economic recovery and fair market value for all federal coal deposits; this would include lands adjoining the lease modification tract.
· The acreage in the application, when combined with the total acreage added by all modifications made after August 4, 1976, must not exceed 960 acres or the number of acres in the original lease, whichever is less [43 C.F.R. 3432.1(a)].
ACTIONS REQUIRED: Implement interim guidance for applications for a lease modification until final regulations are completed.
TIMEFRAME: Immediate.
BUDGET IMPACT: Minimal.
BACKGROUND: Congress passed The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act) (P.L.109-58) on August 8, 2005. Title 4, Subtitle D of the Act contains several amendments to the Mineral Leasing Act for federal coal leasing and federal coal lease management. This memorandum provides interim guidance to implement Section 432 of the Act. BLM is working diligently toward full implementation of this Act through regulations. The interim guidance contained in this memorandum is being implemented under the authorities provided by Section 438 of the Act.
MANUAL/HANDBOOK SECTIONS AFFECTED: None.
COORDINATION: This policy was developed with the assistance of the BLM State Offices and the Department of the Interior Solicitor's Office.

JVR good. Caps bad. That second part really confuses me. What happened to the Caps?!
Kessel has to be jealous at how well JVR is doing scoring those dirty goals in front of the net.
Kessel - the sniper - that wasn't accurate enough. The irony.

Where the Red Sox rank
The All-Star break is upon us, which means it's a great time to check where the Red Sox rank in key statistical categories. Scroll through the gallery to see how the Red Sox stack up in both Major League Baseball and the American League. Next
Runs: Second in MLB, second in AL

Only the Texas Rangers (443) have scored more runs than
the Red Sox (432). But the Bue Jays are a close third with 430. Next
Batting average: Sixth in MLB, 4th in AL

The Red Sox have a team average of .268, with David Ortiz leading everyday players at .312 and Jarrod Saltalamacchia at the other end of the spectrum at .235. The Rangers lead both MLB and the AL at .280. Next
Home runs: Eighth in MLB, sixth in AL

The Red Sox have hit 99 home runs, led by David Ortiz's 22. The Yankees lead with 134, led by Curtis Granderson's 23 and Robinson Cano's 20. Next
ERA: 21st in MLB, 10th in AL

The Nationals, with three starters below 3.00, leading the majors with a 3.20 ERA. The A's lead the AL at 3.42. The Red Sox check in at 4.20. Scott Atchison has the best ERA of any Sox pitcher with at least 20 innings pitched this season at 1.45. Next
Opponent batting average: 19th in MLB, 10th in AL

The Nationals are holding opponents to a .231 average, and Gio Gonzalez has been particularly unhittable, holding opponents to a .192 average. The Chicago White Sox, who visit Fenway Park July 16-19, lead the AL at .240. Opponents are hitting .257 vs. Boston. Next
Doubles: 1st in MLB and AL

At least the Red Sox are the best in baseball in something. They lead the Nationals by a wide margin (208-172). Adrian Gonzalez has 27 doubles, David Ortiz has 25 and Mike Aviles has 22. Seven other players have at least 10 doubles. Next
Errors: 24th in MLB, 10th in AL

This is one category in which it is a good thing to be low down on the stat list. However, not committing many errors hasn't necessarily translated into run prevention as the Red Sox are 9th in runs allowed in MLB and 4th in the AL. Next
Stolen bases allowed: 11th in MLB, 5th in AL

Red Sox catchers Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Kelly Shoppach have allowed 65 steals. But that's still an improvement from last season, when runners weren't afraid to challenge Saltalamacchia and now-retired Jason Varitek, who led the majors in steals allowed. The Padres lead the league in stolen bases allowed this season (88). Next
Stolen bases: 28th in MLB, 12th in AL

The Red Sox don't catch many runners, and they also don't steal many bases—no player has more than 9. With their top speedsters (Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford) out nearly the entire season, the Red Sox have stolen only 37 bases, less than half of the Marlins (79) and well behind the AL East rival Rays, who have 70. Next
Most valuable sports franchises: 31st in world, 2d in New England

The latest list of the world's most valuable sports franchises put the Red Sox well down the list with an estimated value of $912 million. NFL and European soccer teams dominated the list, and the New England Patriots checked in at No. 6, but only one MLB team was ahead of Boston—the archrival New York Yankees at No. 3.

Posted on 06/10/2013 9:27:46 PM PDT by bamahead
BOULDER, Colo. - Boulder police say they have a right to enter unsecured homes if residents leave an open door.
Boulder police Sgt. Michael Everett tells the Boulder Daily Camera entering unsecured residences is a standard procedure for most law enforcement agencies, including Boulder police. He says the practice is not likely to stop.
Chrissy Smiley called police to complain after she returned to her south Boulder condominium after walking her dogs Thursday and found a card from a Boulder police officer sitting on her dining room table letting her know he had been there.
Boulder police officials told The Camera officers can enter a home that is closed and even locked if they have a reasonable suspicion that something was amiss such as if the officer observes mail piled up by a door or sees someone inside who appears to be in physical distress.
Although I am uncomfortable with this, in some neighborhoods an open door is an indication of something wrong, and should be investigated.
If I'm following the logic of some here today, they'd be within their rights to check the Call History on the phone in your bedroom as well.
urban cops have become the enemy, criminals with badges
That'll work great right up to the time a cop gets shot.
Do you feel the butchery getting closer?
Does this mean if a homeowner comes home to find you in their bedroom, can you just say the door was open and I decided to investigate why—you know, just a neighborly thing to do.
Aren't you a trespasser? Why aren't the police? They're not "special", despite their thinking they are.
This may fly in urban/sub-urban/ex-urban situations, but in my neck of the woods, somebody'd end up dead.
Well, I'm creeped out, even 40 years ago the idea that when I left for a 3 day weekend that the cops might enter my locked house just to poke around, would have freaked me out.
Interestingly, it would have freaked out everyone 40 years ago, this would have been unimaginable then.
Maybe they're still looking for JonBenet's killer.
That's how the Night Stalker operated as well.
How to Get Arrested in Arizona for DUI With a BAC of 0.00
Several years ago a home owner was shot and killed by a deputy that entered a home with an opened door. It was at night. The deputy entered the home and was confronted by the owner, armed with a fireplace poker. The deputy stated that he attempted to identify himself, before shooting the home owner. The deputy was cleared of wrongdoing.
I was burglarized about 30 years ago in San Francisco. I called the police and watched one cop climb the apt. building's fire escape, checking every window as he went. When he found one that wasn't locked, he opened it, announced it was the police and entered.
If a burglar with a gun enters your house and shouts, "POLICE," I guess you're not supposed to shoot.
They know if they get sued in Federal Court they will get their heads handed to them, but figure most people cannot afford to sue.
They do have the imperative to enter when something really amiss but, just walking in because the door is unlocked?
Mistakes are bound to happen and bad things too.
What if I'm on the toilet and can't get to the door, which you discovered unlocked?
I frequently walk out of the house leaving it unlocked and this was ever so try when I lived in Oklahoma.
Not a good policy to enter a home because you feel you can, as a so called friend.
No, this is just you getting your jollies by violating a boundary of another person.
Kinduh like alcoholics but with a gun, badge and shielded by the government.
Entering a home in the dead of night isn't going to result in anything good.
This cop is a hitman.
Just remember the Clint's words from "Line of Fire":
Aim High!
One MORE reason our door is ALWAYS locked. And of course it has, for a long time, if someone is in distress they can enter a house - breaking down the door if need be, without a warrant.
But mail piled up? How about the grass a bit too long? The flower pots a little too dry?
NO. Just because a door is opened, doesn't give the police dept or anyone else the right to enter your home. No, no, no!
Entering a home without permission and without
a warrant is a felony....it's called "breaking
and entering" and the possession of a piece of
metal called a badge in no way changes the fact
that the action is a crime.
But until we start hanging the judges and DA's
who refuse to hold badgemonkeys to the law nothing
is going to improve.....and people WILL die.
Well now, I can see why the Colorado State Government and LEO's want to impose strict gun control there. It's a self-protection thing for them.
Of course on the other side, it's a outward display of contempt for the people who live there and pay taxes.
That's called "breaking and entering", at least when the proletariat do it. Perhaps different rules apply to the praetorian guard.
The "Castle Doctrine" could come into play here in Wisconsin. Not a good thing for the LEO's.
I was commenting on this story when it came on that site Monday morning.
I can't believe that there are some there who see no problem with this.
Boulder resident, sitting on the pot, hears the front door open.
Resident grabs pistol.
Intruder (police) sees resident with pistol.
Someone's going to end up getting shot eventually.
" reasonable suspicion that something was amiss "
Nice "catch all". In other words, we will enter if we feel like it
A few booby-trapped houses will end this unconstitutional practice quickly.
So, I need to move to Boulder, CO and leave my door unlocked and watch the door w/ my Tyranny Response Rifle... after all the criminal wouldn't have a warrant, and thus would be acting unlawfully.
Back when we trusted cops they entered homes all the time to secure them, check if anyone needed help, see if a child wandered out, check if there is a prowler, etc, because an open front door is not a usually happening. Back then, a cop doing a good deed could help himself to a cookie in the cookie jar and we would be happy to have had the extra eyes watching out for us.
But now, we don't trust cops and think they would rob us as much as any criminal would.
"Boulder police say they have a right to enter unsecured homes if residents leave an open door. "
Yet, I predict the first non-government employee citizen who dares to enter *their* homes when unsecured will be shot, survivors will be shot again.
And the government employees will ignore the hypocrisy.
From the comments:
"Fifteen years ago, I left a car door open when I was transferring something from one car to another. Denver police entered my home, searched all through it ... so I'm told by neighbors, then left. They did not leave a card, my house was locked, somehow they got in.
Two weeks later, my home was burglarized with a loss of tens of thousands of dollars. Funny thing, I could always get hold of the burglary detective in his office. He never did crap other than to take a report and tell me the stuff was probably in Mexico.
To this day, I believe the police had something to do with the theft. "
Gee, it couldn't be that the government employees themselves are contributing to that impression, could it?
The fact that our civil rights are being eroded drip by drip, while Congress and many clueless Americans are unconcerned, is my biggest concern. Congress is not only unconcerned but they are aiding and abetting the process.
I listen to McCain and others in both Parties today tell us how Snowden is a traitor. Most politically involved people that I know see him as a hero. The real traitors are either conniving to weaken the Second Amendment or figuring out how to bail out the bankers again, or how to slip through amnesty to 20 million illegals.

SUNNYSIDE-Our beloved aunt, sister-in-law and friend, Yvonne DallaCorte, passed away peacefully at her home Feb. 14, 2011. She was born Feb. 10, 1928, in Sunnyside, Utah, to Italian immigrant parents, Amerigo and Carmela Pederiva DallaCorte, the fourth of five children. She now joins her entire family.
Yvonne celebrated her 83rd birthday four days earlier with her dear Sunnyside friends and her second family, the Leonards. Her extended family is eternally grateful to everyone in Carbon County who cared for her in many ways that we could not, due to distance. We knew she was in good hands.
She graduated from Carbon High School in 1946, and then started working at the Miner's Trading Post in Sunnyside as a clerk, then later as the office manager. Her proudest accomplishment was working at "the store" for 61 years. In 2006, she was the grand marshal of the Community Daze parade honored for her dedication to her community and her employer.
She was a devout member of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church. She will be remembered for her terrific memory, the birthdays she remembered and the cards and money she sent. She shared everything she had with her loved ones. She always kept the cookie jar full of cookies or bubble gum for the kids. Once interviewed by a newspaper, she said she had no regrets in life. The people she most wanted to meet were her grandparents, whom she never knew, and the place she most wanted to travel to was Heaven. She said her most prized possession were her memories of family and friends.
She was a life-long resident of Sunnyside and cared for her parents until their passing. Although she never had any children of her own, many people consider her to be like a "second mother". She was the truest of friends. We'll remember her beautiful smile and humble, giving spirit as she put others' needs before her own. She touched so many people's lives for good and will always be with us, in our hearts and memories.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Gena Gourdin and Yolanda Farlaino, and her brothers, Ray and Bruno DallaCorte. She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Ileene DallaCorte, Crystal Lake, Ill., Betsy DallaCorte, La Habra Heights, Calif., and many loving nieces and nephews from coast-to-coast.
Vigil Service, Thursday evening 7 p.m. at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, East Carbon, Utah. Funeral Mass, Friday, Feb. 18, 2011, 10 a.m. Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church in Price. Family was at the church one hour prior to each service. Interment, Price City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Yvonne online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

Posted on 04/10/2013 8:16:17 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Senator Rand Paul says America needs a, "spiritual cleansing of the people" and explains that "salvation" doesn't come through elected leaders.
The Brody File spent a couple days with Rand Paul and his family down in Kentucky. Rand Paul's wife (Kelley Paul) sat for the interview as well at their home in Bowling Green Kentucky.
The national profile on him (including an interview with his wife) will air on The 700 Club Thursday. We are releasing some clips ahead of the interview. We will also release more clips on Thursday. Much of this material is NOT in the final 700 Club piece.
Also, watch our Brody File show this week where we devote the entire thirty minutes to our Rand Paul coverage. Watch here.
Senator Rand Paul: "I think it's important that people know that for the country to get better it needs more than just politicians. Politicians aren't enough and it needs resurgence through churches, through revivals through a spiritual cleansing of the people."
Senator Rand Paul: "Changing a particular law is not going to make us a better people but that comes from the people themselves."
Senator Rand Paul: "I don't want people to think that salvation comes through elected leaders. It doesn't."
Senator Rand Paul: "What's the number one cause of poverty in America? It's having kids before you're married. Can you have a law to prevent that? I don't think any law even if you did have a law couldn't prevent it from happening. We have to convince kids that it's a big huge mistake not only from a religious point of view but from an economic point of view that it's not a good idea to have kids before you're married. The hard part is then people say you're harsh and you're against single moms. Well, I'm not against single moms. I just want to talk to them before they become the single mom. I want to talk to them when they're 17 years old and convince them wait, get married and your life will be better and it's a better way to do things."
Senator Rand Paul: "People say you shouldn't talk about moral issues. Well, I think there are moral issues that no law will be able to fix but there's no reason why a political leader can't also have some impact in moral issues that really the law may not be able to fix but maybe by me saying that the marriage unit, the marriage unit, the family unit is an important structure, it's been with us for thousands of years and we shouldn't give up on that."
But his example of passing a law preventing people from having kids before marriage misses the obvious.
Why not repeal laws that promote and encourage these welfare babies?
Make no mistake: You CAN legislate morality. The question is - whose morality?
For the last 40 years we've had a code of legal morals and ethics that are dead set on the destruction of the family and of America. And as a natual result - our economy is down the tubes.
But I also think we need a D.C. Cleansing as well...
A spiritual cleansing is exactly what we need.
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Senator Rand Paul says America should be led by moral and religious leaders but, "their overriding message is to fix the country's economy not to fix the country's moral nature." Paul also says that a winning candidate can be a social conservative, "but if that's the only issue you do estrange some people."
The Brody File spent a couple days with Rand Paul and his family down in Kentucky. Rand Paul's wife (Kelley Paul) sat for the interview as well at their home in Bowling Green Kentucky.
The national profile on him (including an interview with his wife) will air on The 700 Club Thursday. We are releasing some clips ahead of the interview. We will also release more clips on Thursday. Much of this material is NOT in the final 700 Club piece.
Also, watch our Brody File show this week where we devote the entire thirty minutes to our Rand Paul coverage. Watch here.
Senator Rand Paul (On whether social issues need to minimized within the GOP): "I think sort of the in-between is that it doesn't mean you can't elect or won't elect people who are socially conservative but if that's the only issue you do estrange some people but what I'm saying is that you need a candidate who does believe in your issues, who doesn't try to be something they're not but also recognizes that what brings the country together and what people are trying to figure out is how do I get my brother a job? How do I get my sister a job? How do I get the economy growing? It is important though that a country and a civilization have moral underpinnings but I think if it's only about that then I think you need to be finding who the next Billy Graham is and we need both."
Senator Rand Paul: "You want moral and religious people I think to be your leaders but their overriding message is to fix the country's economy not to fix the country's moral nature."
Tyrant Kim Un Hussein must be very pleased that his efforts to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are progressing so easily.
Reality tends to enforce "natural law".
Take away the laws and policies that alleviate consequences for immoral behavior, and you'll have less of that behavior.
In the end Rand Paul's beliefs will be exactly like his old man's. The old man was for sodomite "marriage" and the old man voted to legitimize sodomy in the Armed Forces. I guarantee you if Rand Paul had been in the senate during the repeal vote of DADT he would have voted to lift the ban on sodomites openly serving in the US Armed Forces. He tries to fool people into believing he's a traditional conservative. He's not, he's a libertarian exactly like the old man. And he has the weird libertarian views like legalizing drugs and never starting a war and letting people do what they feel like doing. If they want to "marry" their dog that's OK with him. Don't be fooled by this Ron Paul clone.
RE: A "Spiritual Cleansing"
THE ACLU cries as usual — "Separation of Church and State".
But he's also right. There are serious limits on what the government can do to promote spiritual health. In fact, I really don't want them to try. The best it can do is absence of harm. Just get out of the way. The most obvious example is to stop subsidizing spritual rot; do away with welfare and the artificial unlimited demand for illegitimate children. There is no surprise that the result will be an unlimited supply of them.
In the end, the government is only a reflection of the spiritual state of the nation. It is a creation of the people that want it. People will have to have their spiritual re-awakening on a personal level, and won't do it because the goverment passed a law requiring it. Like Prohibition and drugs; people will do what they want, and laws won't stop them. Only when people don't want to do illegal drugs, and don't want to have illegitimate children, will they stop doing or having them.
The Eight Steps in the Evolution of Democracy (Professor
Alexander Tyler, 1787)
These eight steps were written in 1787 by Professor Alexander Tyler.
The United States was in the planning process of a young and fragile Democracy.
So, this Professor took a look at the past and tried to map out the evolution of a Democracy.
He determined a time line for these eight steps and an estimate of how long the process would take, 200 years.
* From bondage to spiritual faith;
* From spiritual faith to great courage;
* From courage to liberty;
* From liberty to abundance;
* From abundance to complacency;
* From complacency to apathy;
* From apathy to dependence;
* From dependence back into bondage.
That worries me. You may be right. Just last month he introduced a Life Begins at Conception Bill before the Senate. But before the ink was even dry, he went on to explain there are "thousands of exceptions". If Paul wants to be taken seriously - he must reject and denounce liberaltarianism.
He is right. We should start with government itself, and mainstream TV networks that promote degeneration which it has become.
Gee, I wonder which step America is on right now?
Hogwash. The government has created monetary support systems to eliminate financial responsibility for bad choices. Single mom's have dozens of government support programs. Gays spreading Aids have scores of government support programs. When self destructive behavior is allowed to reap the natural consequences, repentance is more likely to occur.
An enema is what we need.
Read the rest of the post before commenting, please.
Great post. Your reply exemplifies why I say you CAN legislate morality.
It's just way past time we turned around the moral direction our county is headed in and repeal these destructive laws.
Amen! The "sex culture" is fully alive and in ALL our faces, especially targeting our youth.
Thanks to billy, the youngsters do not see oral sex as sex.
Remember those wrist bands the young ones used to wear, which indicated "how far they went"?
Praise the Lord! Seems like we need to take out everyone of them, with a few exceptions.
Morality is the main (if not only) reason for Laws and government. Without "Justice" a government is totally evil and dysfunctional. Justice is a Virtue. Virtues are a standard of "morality". Virtue determined what is "good and evil" since the Nicomachean Ethics.
Socrates stated that the only reason for education is to teach Virtue. Justice is the Queen of Virtues-—that is ALL about morality!!!!
Cultural Marxists target Virtues-—destroy it. Machiavelli even stated that without Virtue, you can not have a Free Republic or an effective military.
That is why sodomy is forced into the military by the Satanist zero-—to destroy Virtue—promoting Vice will destroy the military-—they will become like the Nazi homosexual Brownshirts—Brutal immature, evil people will drive out, intimidate the "good"—people who won't join in their orgies. And they use boys in those orgies-—like Sugar Keynes at Harvard (the darling of the Left who bragged about castrating boys in 3rd world countries and advised his elite friends at Harvard and other elite institutions where to find boys at Eton or whereever for their orgies. This is a sick mind which designed the economic system which collapsed England and is taught in all our universities probably all sodomites.
(Why the push to normalize anal sex in all books and movies/tv (Glee)—"shades of grey"-—and this intimidation of any company that doesn't go along with their evil agenda-—so little boys will be corrupted by sick concepts that should never occur to them unless they are sexually abused. They want the control over the minds of your little boys-—like Jerry Brown has-—to normalize sodomy in our culture).
It really makes me mad that Lawmakers don't even realize the Marxist thinking which states "you can't legislate morality!" We DO IT ALL THE TIME with murder laws (from 10 Commandments).
We built Western CIvilization since Cicero—on ideas of Universal Truths (morality of Natural Law Theory).
FIXED NATURAL LAWS are part of our Constitution. Universal Truths are part of our Supreme Law of the land. The Marxist's judges are removing God and removing morality from children=-—it is Cultural Marxism to sexualize young children to destroy morality concerning the sex act-—to destroy the culture. Releasing sex from morality-—which homosexual "marriage" does-—there is no Right and Wrong way to use the sex organ-—you remove Natural Laws, Rule of Law , and God.
We will collapse if "homosexual" marriage is normalized for children. We will be sick and warped-—our children who grow up and "see" this which shapes all their worldview-—and normalizes the behavior-—like the little warped boys in harems in Afghanistan.
Evil Marxists, sodomites-—like the Fr. Oko report explains-—they are Fascists/totalitarians/Marxists and they want your little boys to be warped, so they are easy prey when they turn 12. The age of consent will be lowered-—we will have Nero's lifestyle normalized (he castrated a boy and "married" him). Sick warped people (homosexuals who "think" their "lifestyle" is "normal" are irrational and evil—they are immature-—fixated and addicted to base instincts—controlled by their lust—never Reason/Intellect.
What's up with FR these days. Seems to be the "sleeper cells" are coming out and nothing is being done to ZOT them.
You CANNOT legislate morality. You can legislate morally, however. As in character does matter and no one, I mean, NO ONE is above the law.
Thank you.
Awesome reply.
Hey LJ! How are you? This thread is one for the M/A pinglist
Are you proclaiming to be a mind reader? a "teller of the future"? A "medium"?
If your answer is no, they why would you proclaim such a thing?
Splitting hairs. Six of one - half dozen of another. A fine distinction. Same difference.
Point is - we have tons of immoral laws on the books. And our economy reflects our stupid moral choices. Only way out is to revoke immoral laws and replace them with Godly, moral and Constitutional laws.
>>>Whats up with FR these days. Seems to be the sleeper cells are coming out and nothing is being done to ZOT them.>>>
The reason the government can never become "moral" is that the bureaucracy - through and through - is leftist. There is no morality there.
You could have God himself elected president and the bureaucrats would never budge from their lefty agenda.
This is why the most important thing is to starve the "beast government" down to size. Which is why I only vote for those who will put the screws to government - in all its forms. We should only worry about being moral on a personal level - it is clear that a moral politician (which is an oxymoron) can ever reign in this monster we have all had a hand in creating.
Starve the beast - and if Rand Paul is for starving the FedGov, I'm for him.
What's weird is hyperinflating drug profits and channeling those profits into criminal hands, which is all the War on Drugs can be shown to be accomplishing.
Why not repeal laws that promote and encourage these welfare babies?
I'd be stunned to learn that Rand Paul doesn't support that repeal.
Three headed Hydra meets Godzilla:
1) Class Warfare( Alinsky/Lucifer)
2) Race Warfare( see above)
3) Immorality war( see parentheses in #1)
1)( so far) Gun Control via UN, Obama and now congress.
"America needs a, spiritual cleansing of the people .
Will only happen after a national calamity that brings much death, hellfire and brimstone.
Agreed. He says some great things if you don't listen too closely. That's why I say he's right about needing a spiritual cleansing and leave it at that.
we are in the later parts of those steps indeed
Then why is he for homosexual marriage?
I'd settle for just Congress at this point.
"The U.S. welfare system sure creates some crazy disincentives to working your way up the ladder. Benefits stacked upon benefits can mean it is financially better, at least in the short term, to stay at a lower-paying jobs rather than taking a higher paying job and losing those benefits."
He's trying to bridge the (perhaps) unbridgeable gap between libertarians and traditional-values conservatives. Each one, if taken to its extreme, eliminates the other. Possibly each side must give way for a candidate to harness both sides. But then you could have the result we used to call "falling between two stools"—nobody wins.
He's not wrong! And part of that would be getting rid of the
politicians who are giving the opposition over to the bad guys!
"Hes trying to bridge the (perhaps) unbridgeable gap between libertarians and traditional-values conservatives."
Reagan did it.
Bush destroyed that coalition with his spending spree and now Rand Paul is trying to piece it back together.
To take Rand Paul seriously, is to reject him. There is no other course, if you are a serious person.
Sen. Rand Paul clarifies remarks on abortion, confirms he is 100% pro-life
He's not. Can you show us a link that supports your claim?
He can't, because it's a lie. The Bushbots are out in full force.
That would be JebBushbots?

By Errol Castens/Daily Journal Oxford Bureau
READ MORE: Patsy Brumfield – Sprinklers still lacking…
OXFORD – A lawsuit over the 2004 fraternity-house fire that killed three students at the University of Mississippi has been settled in principle.
Jordan Williams of Atlanta, Ga., Howard Stone of Spencer, Va., and Will Townsend of Clarksdale died in an early-morning fire at Ole Miss' Alpha Tau Omega house on Aug. 27, 2004.
William M. Quin II, attorney for Jimmy L. Williams, Jordan Williams' father, said their lawsuit, which was to have gone to trial April 30, has been "settled in principle." He noted that fulfillment of the agreed-to terms is pending but he expects within several weeks that papers will be filed with Lafayette County Circuit Court asking for the case to be dismissed.
Quin would not disclose the terms of the settlement, but informed legal observers say with punitive damages, which were requested in the complaint, the settlement could be as much as $10 million.
Grady Tollison, an Oxford attorney whose firm represented the ATO entities, declined to comment, citing confidentiality requirements. Jackson attorney W. Scott Welch III, representing ATO National, also said no comment.
Quin said he hopes the 2007 suit has a long-term impact on safety awareness and procedures.
"The goal of any lawsuit, especially in a case such as this, is that you seek not only to compensate your client, but to prevent repeat of the mistakes that led to the loss," he said. He noted that when ATO rebuilt its house, it was equipped with a sprinkler system.
"The extent to which they have maintained safety systems, I hope they keep that up," Quin said.
Today, though, only seven of 14 Ole Miss fraternity houses have sprinkler systems, the Daily Journal learned last week. All UM sorority houses and public residence halls have sprinklers due to a 2005 legislative mandate passed in response to the ATO fire.
The Stone family's suit against the national ATO organization, the local chapter and the house corporation was settled out of court last year, with terms undisclosed.
William Liston III of Jackson, attorney for the Stone family, and Tollison both declined to speak about that case.

Wales kept alive their hopes of lifting the Six Nations trophy with a controversial 19-13 win over Ireland in a dour clash in Cardiff.
Wales kept alive their slim hopes of lifting the Six Nations trophy with a 19-13 victory over Ireland in a dour clash at the Millennium Stadium.
Controversy will forever be attached with this March 12 fixture as a Mike Phillips score that should never have been awarded will leave the whole of Ireland fuming on Saturday evening.
It came from an Irish clearance that led to Wales captain Matthew Rees taking a line-out quickly. However, television replays proved the eyebrow raisers correct in that it was a different ball that the hooker picked up and used on the touchline.
But the history books will show a Welsh victory, one that puts them level on points with current leaders England, who play Scotland on Sunday.
Ireland had gone into the dressing room at half-time with a 13-9 lead thanks to a try from Brian O'Driscoll, but were left pointless in the second period as they chose to kick more than they ran. Paddy Wallace will also be kicking himself for looking for an easier conversion for Jonathan Sexton instead of just taking the try at the death.
But in truth, the sporadic drama cannot disguise what was a dismal 80 minutes.
The game took just 20 seconds for the first replacement to be made and it may be a record for the shortest period of time on a field. Scrum-half Eoin Reddan was withdrawn after copping a ball in the face from Lee Byrne's hefty clearance directly from the kick-off.
Peter Stringer came on in his place at the base and was, in fact, the player to fire out a pass to returning Ireland winger Tommy Bowe, who subsequently created a hole for captain and outside centre O'Driscoll to dive over and open the scoring in the early stages.
If that substitution is to be an unwanted tag for scrum-half Reddan, it was one of three records or milestones to be beaten or matched within the first four minutes. O'Driscoll's smartly-taken try now propels him to joint top try-scorer in Five/Six Nations history while Ronan O'Gara reached 1000 Test points with the extras.
Wales quickly needed to find their footing and two James Hook penalties pulled them back to within a point before the hour, with Ireland giving away sloppy offences at the breakdown.
Hook's inclusion over the veteran fly-half Stephen Jones did not really lead to much creation though, as both sides maybe felt the need to claim victory before looking to cut loose.
O'Gara did boot a long-range penalty on 33 minutes and one on the half-time hooter to extend the lead, but it was only a three-point lift due to Leigh Halfpenny's own strike.
The second-half was one to forget for Ireland as replacement Sexton endured a difficult half-hour. First he pushed a cross-field effort into touch before missing a simple penalty.
Then came the moment that will be tagged to this game as Rees threw to Phillips from the touchline and the scrum-half showed his pace and power to go over. Hook's conversion was the further twist of the knife into Ireland's side as the momentum had consequently swung. Jonathan Kaplan had requested confirmation from touch judge Peter Allan, who said it was the same ball, but replays conclusively illustrated that the officials were wrong.
Ireland cannot say that they didn't have a chance to banish their upcoming nightmare tonight though, with Wallace's big blunder on the hooter ending Ireland's hopes of silverware.
Man-of-the-match: For his general game-management, James Hook.
Moment-of-the-match: Is there any other contender? The controversial try for Mike Phillips. Ireland will no doubt be fuming and talking about this one for a good while yet.
Villain-of-the-match: I don't mean to pick on an official but it has to go to Peter Allan for not spotting the different ball being used in the lead-up to Mike Phillips' try.

Try: Phillips
Con: Hook
Pen: Hook 3, Halfpenny
For Ireland:

MiN New York
MiN New York Form Styling Cream
- Overview
- Features
- About the brand
Enhance and refine your hair's style with Form styling cream from MiN New York. Form is medium hold styling cream that exceptionally separates and thickens the hair. MiN New Yorkss styling cream includes DHT inhibiting ingredients, as well as aloe leaf extract and saw palmetto extract for protection and style that will outlast the most active lifestyle.
Work evenly through damp or dry hair and style.
MiN New York's founders believe that the world doesn't need more products, it needs better products. MiN New York provides simple, effective hair care, hair color, styling and shaving solutions. MiN New York has it all; this collection features shampoos, conditioners, gel, hair color, after shave and hair loss treatments.
Min Product UserI have used MiN Products for quite awhile. (Daily Shampoo and Conditioner, Secure Firm Gel, Form, Substance, and I own the Jetpack for travel). The shampoo and conditioner are simply the best for men. I use them twice a day, in the a.m. and p.m. after working out, and they conform to your hair perfectly regardless of your type of hair. The shampoo lathers wonderfully; cleans purely; and rinses perfectly. The same can be said about the conditioner. The product leaves your hair feeling light, clean and fresh smelling. A perfect '10'.
If you have short hair and want to spike all or the front of it, I recommend Substance. This product goes on hard and remains stiff. I you want a medium hold, go with Form. And if you want a light and easy hold, try the Secure Firm Gel. Substance is a paste, so it's going to be strong and dry hard. I use Substance only on the front of my hair to spike it and give me the modern look. I use the Secure Firm Gel throughout the rest of my hair because I comb it forward and want a fresh look with a light hold, and a clean scent.
Form is a medium grade texture, so mix an index finger size in your palm with a little sprinkle of water to smooth it out before you run it through your hair. This will give it an easy gliding and even spreading throughout your hair. It's not as light as the gel but it will keep its hold throughout the day. If it starts to give during the day, run a wet comb through your hair and it'll revitalize the hold. It also provides a simple shine. Nothing overbearing and not as light as the gel.
The Secure Firm Gel is the lightest of the three. I use one full pump on my damp hair when I exit the shower. Those two combined allow you to style your hair to your liking. It will dry to however you style your hair within minutes, so comb your hair to your liking after you apply the gel. If you do this prior to putting on a pullover shirt, either wet your comb to touch-up the style or add a dab, spread it in your palm, and rub it on the exterior of your hair all around. This will allow you to restyle your hair to its original look.
All the MiN products I mentioned above are hair color friendly. As a matter-of-fact, I believe they even help to keep the color in your hair. You pay good money to have your hair colored, so use this product to get your hard earned money's worth until your next coloring.
Finally, play it smart and when Folica periodically offers 25% off site-wide, take advantage of this special and purchase the 32 oz. bottles. You'll get a bigger bang for your buck. Stock up because that offer only comes around once in a blue moon. And you'll get free shipping if you purchase one or both (shampoo and conditioner) or another MiN product. They may cost a little more than you hope to pay, but your hair is important and it's the second thing people notice after your face. Invest in only the best!
And no, I was not paid to write this review for Folica or MiN. I only want the best for me. And you. Best of luck and enjoy whichever MiN product you choose!

The Best Stuff I've FoundI have used what I believe to be every single styling product on the planet in one of these types of jars. I used to use American Crew Fiber and thought that was the best overall styling product but MiN FORM is positively better. Why? The style lasts longer and it rinses easier and cleaner from my hair.

Boston was at the heart of President Obama's weekly address. While the surviving Boston bombing suspect has been arrested, the president said America will remain vigilant in days to come.
President Obama and the Republicans paid tributes to Boston in Saturday radio addresses, saying the city and the nation remain strong in the face of terrorism.
"Through days that would test even the sturdiest of souls, Boston's spirit remains undaunted -- America's spirit remains undimmed," Obama said. "Our faith in each other, our love for this country, our common creed that cuts across whatever superficial differences we may have -- that's what makes us strong."
In the Republicans' weekly radio address, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina said the perpetrators of the attack have "only strengthened the resolve of our nation" and cannot hide from justice.
"We will stand strong, we will stand united, and we will stand together for Boston," Scott said.
Five days after the bombing attack on the Boston Marathon, two days after a shootout that left one of the suspects dead, Obama said the nation will remain vigilant in the days ahead.
"I have no doubt the city of Boston and its surrounding communities will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far," the president said. "And their fellow Americans will be right there with them every step of the way."
Monday's attack killed three people, and injured more than 170 others. Obama and Scott taped their radio addresses just hours before the Friday night capture of a suspect in the bombing.
Saying Americans "refused to be terrorized," Obama praised the first responders, volunteers, medical professionals and law enforcement officials who rushed to help immediately after Monday's bombing.
"If anyone wants to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil and terror -- that's it," Obama said. "Selflessly. Compassionately. And unafraid."
In the GOP remarks, Scott also praised those who helped the victims after the bombing, and said: "The greatness of America is not seen during times of prosperity, but is crystallized by how we respond to challenges."
