  • Why Not Support "Clean" DHS Bill WITHOUT Any Immigration Funding?

    So the Democrats say they want a clean bill, free of the language that the House inserted challenging the President's unconstitutional actions. In response, why doesn't the House: 1) Pass a "clean bill" that funds the Coast Guard, Border Patrol, TSA, etc but NOTHING for Immigration. 2) Pass an Immigration Employee payroll bill that funds ONLY Immigration employee salaries for the entire year - but not a penny for anything else 3) Then have the debate about the rest of what Immigration will be funded

  • Vanity: If male & female restrooms are bad, shouldn't there only be ONE best actor/actress Oscar

    02/23/2015 6:28:56 AM PST · by Maceman · 28 replies
    Just wondering, because there are no more PC-compliant creatures than Hollywood leftists. Modern PC culture dictates that only bigots and homophobes (and lezzophobes?) support the idea of male-only and female-only public rest rooms. So how come Hollywood is allowed to have "Best Actor" and "Best Actress" Oscar categories? And "Best Supporting Actor" and "Best Supporting Actress"? In the interest of fairness and social justice, shouldn't there be only one "Best Performer" Oscar? Or even fairer, shouldn't there be 58 different best performer awards (or 116 if you include the "supporting" categories)? Shouldn't there be a "Best Supporting Gender Non-conforming" category,...

    The King’s Peach Let me be clear, the notion that I am not is unfounded. Some may say that you folks are not American. We will appeal it. It is a problem that I inherited and the change won’t be easy. But I won and so there will be setbacks and false starts. Vacations and Golfing. Make no mistake, it won’t happen overnight. Until we can correct the situation, I have issued an Executive Order allowing me to apologize for my country. Oops. My bad.
  • Liberals Cannot Understand Why Poor Whites Vote For the Republican Party

    02/21/2015 7:15:46 AM PST · by pinochet · 78 replies
    Liberals have been wailing over the past two decades on why poor whites vote for the Republican Party. In 2012, the New Yorker Magazine published an article on poor Republicans, that was full of all the crude stereotypes about poor whites. http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/poor-white-and-republican After all, the Democrats are offering free stuff to the poor, such as free health care, free welfare payments, free food stamps, and other free goodies. In the opinion of the Democrats, poor whites are voting against their economic interests by voting for the Republican Party. Liberals have coined the term "Trailer Park Republican" to describe poor whites...

    Executive orders are numbered; memoranda are not. Memoranda are always published in the Federal Register after proclamations and executive orders. And under Executive Order 11030, signed by President Kennedy in 1962, an executive order must contain a "citation of authority," saying what law it's based on. Memoranda have no such requirement.http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/12/16/obama-presidential-memoranda-executive-orders/20191805/
  • If people, not Islam, cause terrorism, then do people, not guns, cause violence?

    my fevered brain ^ | today | me
    Obama, at the "ending terrorism without identifying it" conference, said that “No religion is responsible for terrorism — people are responsible for violence and terrorism,” It sounded strangely familiar, so I thought it worth a vanity post to point out that his logic, such as it is, doesn't stop with exculpating Islam.
  • Why Jeb Bush is Likely to Win the Republican Nomination

    02/17/2015 7:52:22 AM PST · by pinochet · 140 replies
    I need to mention a fact that many freepers will find painful and upsetting. In the 20th Century, Country Club Republicans had greater influence in selecting Republican nominees for President, than grassroots Republicans. There are only 2 notable exceptions when the establishment candidate did not win - 1964 and 1980. In 1964, the Republican establishment was deeply divided. Three Republican candidates from extremely wealthy, Old Money, WASP families were on the ballot. They were Governor Nelson Rockefeller from New York, Governor William Scranton from Pennsylvania, and former Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. from Massachusetts. Lodge did not formally enter the...

    After two years of watching how‭ ‬one man‭ ‬presides over the‭ ‬Arizona State Senate,‭ ‬I can no longer withhold my opinion:‭ ‬Andy Biggs lacks the courage of his convictions.‭ ‬I refer specifically to his obstruction of Article V legislation that would add Arizona to the growing list of states applying to Congress for a‭ ‬convention to propose amendments to the Constitution.‭ ‬He‭ ‬claims to‭ ‬fear that state legislators‭ ‬– such as himself and‭ ‬89‭ ‬of his closest colleagues‭ ‬-‭ ‬would lose control of the agenda,‭ ‬risking a re-write of‭ ‬the‭ ‬entire Constitution,‭ ‬despite copious‭ ‬and credible‭ ‬evidence‭ ‬dispelling‭ ‬such concerns...

  • WHAT CHIEF JUSTICE ROY MOORE DID IN ALABAMA

    The elected Chief Justice of Alabama's Supreme Court, Roy Moore, is set to be a guest on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. I don't know what the spin from Wallace will be or from any discussion that will follow, but I did receive emails this week from a Roy Moore supporter. Considering the way the media spins things in a negative way towards those who take a stand against gay marriage, I think it appropriate to share what was being said by Justice Moore supporters. I frankly don't take a position on gay marriage other than it is part...

    The statists are in power and their opposition is limp, half-hearted, nearly impotent. They play chess and high-stakes poker while we play Old Maid. These establishment reprobates have long-term goals coupled with long-term strategy. They are patient, unafraid, undaunted, relentless, always on offense, and on multiple fronts. Witness how many fronts they have opened against the hapless, ordinary, law-abiding, politically ignorant, house-trained citizen--trillion-dollar corporate bailouts, a national debt now estimated at over $100 trillion dollars and growing, Obamacare, Common Core, climate change, huge government land grabs, internet control, unprecedented invasions of privacy by numerous government agencies, millions of the uninvited...

  • Former Archbishop of Canterbury: Christianity on Verge of Becoming Extinct

    A couple of years ago, a former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, warned Christians that the faith is in danger. Here is the article: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Christianity-Anglican-Extinct-Carey/2013/11/25/id/538425/ According to the article, only 800,000 people are church-goers in Britain. Britain had a total population of 64 million in 2013. This means that only 1.25 percent of the British population are church-going Christians. The future of America seems to be going in Britain's direction. I wanted to add an update to Lord Carey's observations. A lot of people think the Third World is the future of Christianity. But Brazil, the largest Latin American country,...

  • Gay Marriage Being Forced Down Throats via Alabama Newspapers

    The Alabama newspapers have been slamming their gay agenda down the throats Alabama readers for several weeks. As you can see, it's one story after another. The newspapers are putting those in support of same sex marriage as being on the morally correct side. It is absolutely repulsive how they're pushing this agenda. I'll add that I am shocked how frequently and hard they've been pushing it down reader's throats. It's a war of moral values.
