    This is a video created by Out2Enroll I would like to know if taxpayer money was used to create this video, which shows homosexuality in a fun way. The Obama Admin could easily have given this group a grant to promote homosexuality under the guise of promoting ObamaCare.

    Cable is to TV what the dial up is to online access. We no longer need Cable to see what we want and when we want to. Streaming TV allows us to dump cable. Get a Roku or a Smart TV. Get Netflix for $8.00 and Hulu Plus for $12. And stations such as METV even stream on local sub channels that you can access for free!

    Is there something being blocked in the US news, has the U.S. Attorney been carrying a vendetta towards the Indian Caste system and feels now that he has a lower caste in New York that he needs to teach an entire nation about Caste Systems and Human Rights. MY... I would say about 50% of the people who apply for visas lie throught their teeth. It seems that this case is being exploded for some kind of class on CLASS WARFARE.

    Contrast and compare the way the MSM is treating Phil Robertson and what he said and the way they treat Alec Baldwin and what he said, re: hurling gay slurs: He called Stark a “toxic little queen” and “little bitch.” He also tweeted “If put my foot up your f***g ass, George Stark, but I'm sure you'd dig it too much.”Alec was given a show in MS-NBC for goodness sake. He's all over Capital One ads, nobody is pulling 30 Rock, etc.

    OK, gang. We're seeing the railroading of Phil Robertson for the high crime of professing his faith in response to a direct question. 1. We need to overwhelm A&E with support for Phil. Here's the email I sent to feedback@aenetworks.com. . . To whom it may concern:Apparently, A&E Networks find it objectionable that Phil Robertson, when asked a direct question, gave a direct answer and referenced the teachings of his faith.For his honesty, which, frankly, is one of the charms of "Duck Dynasty", you've decided to put Phil on hiatus.Well, I've put A&E on hiatus. AND, I've also put buying...

  • Analysis of Establishment vs Tea Party Senate Candidates

    12/18/2013 11:32:30 AM PST · by cotton1706 · 21 replies
    I've gotten a little tired of the constant talk about the Tea Party losing the senate for the republicans so I did the below analysis. It's not exact and every state had its own issues but according to this, the Tea Party has had six wins and six losses, while the establishment has had four wins and seven losses Note: I left our Berg (ND) and Rehberg (MT) since there was no real defined Tea Party/Establishment fight, but if those are thrown into the Establishment column, that makes four wins and NINE losses for the Establishment. Also, I've thrown in...

  • Are Black Leftist Elites Who Support Abortion, a Group That Wishes That They Had Not Been Born?

    People in our society suffer discrimination for all sorts of reasons. Many women in the corporate world, especially in fields like IT and engineering, suffer from discrimination because they are women. Others suffer from discrimination because they are overweight. Others suffer from discrimination because they are ugly, too thin, feminine men, disabled people, people with thick foreign accents, darker skin color, etc. It is well known that people who are evangelical Christians suffer discrimination in some industries, such as the fashion industry and Hollywood. Highly-educated leftist blacks like Obama or Van Jones, find that their Ivy League education does not...

    Read and learn. There are people that know how to get things done even within increasing government regulations. Our government on the other hand continues to take on more and more of what has traditionally been provided by private enterprise only to add to their dismal array of failures. Real private enterprise without favorable government legislation does more with less, is successful and pays taxes to support our bloated government. Our government consistently does less with more, fails miserably at EVERYTHING within its control, expects fewer of us to work harder so they can collect more taxes from each of...

    Two days ago Paul Ryan and Patty Murray announced a budget deal. Forty-eight hours later, it passes the House. In the two days since the announcement, Boner attacks conservatives twice. One of of attacks included something to the effect that conservative groups didn't have a chance to read the bill before being against the bill.What ever happened to a little deliberative process? I certainly did not have time to read the bill. I did not have time to convey my thoughts to my congressman, Scott Perry (R-PA), who voted for the bill. Did Scott Perry even read the bill? How...
