G Willikers saying since the tax (that is Obamadon’tCare) did not originate in the House, so the whole thing may well be unConstitutional.

Doesn't matter. I do not expect the Supremes to rule anything the government wants to do as unconstitutional. Obeying the Constitution is predicated on the fact that Congress can do anything as long as it is called a tax.

Great post...had to laugh at “daughter said the baptisms weren’t really necessary.”...good for you to keep the faith alive! Secularism has had its effects and this generation and the next needs faith more than ever.

FNS panel

Pulitzer - Snowden.

==

It is difficult to say whether Snowden is a villain or hero. He did explose another big lie of the Obama Administration [of a program that actually started under the GWBush Administration] about the government spying on US citizens. He did reveal some of how the government operates covertly.

Most other major nations also spy. Spying is as old as the history of mankind.

Too much information helps the national enemies.

Recall the day after the 9-11 attacks and Senator Orin Hatch rushing to a mic to tell FoxNews that ‘we’ were tracking Bin Laden’s satellite phone. Afterwhich, that phone went dead.

But when we see the militarily outfitted BLM challenging a rancher and his family over cattle grazing and a endangered tortoise, it causes us ‘domestic terrorists’ to reevaluate.

The people on this thread show no respect SIG.

Sometimes I sniff my disdain.

Evan Bayh saying that Snowden should not be celebrated as a hero since he has seriously damaged our intelligence ability by giving away secrets.

I'm sure he said nary a word when Pinchy Sulzberg (NYT) gave away the store regarding intelligence gathering secrets and top secret information in order to seriously undermine the Bush administration (and the rest of us) during the height of the War on Terrorism.

Since this is a large portion of the RAT agenda, I believe Snowden may well be a deliberate plant, an Obama/RAT agent put out there to further damage US credibility and to further demonize the Bush Administration and the vile and hated Cheney.

I have posted numerous times in the last few years that the current admin can make up anything and are never challenged or really fact-checked by the press. Whenever the Admin needs some positive information, they make it up. Many FR threads call it Obama's fun-with-numbers. They just pull them out of their rears.

Need 7% unemployment? No problem, wallah! Look - unemployment just dropped.

Need 1 million or 7.1 million signees to Obamacare? No problem wallah! Look - so many people are rushing to sign up that they broke the website.

The compliant media not only cover for the Obama people, they help clarify the talkingpoints and comments should anyone from the Obama admin stumble in an interview.

There’s no doubt that Snowden gave the terrorist enemy cover — and by extrapolation those of us NOT in the know should presume someone innocent somewhere has suffered for it.

Those in the know might one day present direct evidence that an operation al Qaeda kept offline succeeded for going dark in response to Snowden’s revelations.

As an illustration, the Chechen Boston bombers certainly succeeded in part by remaining offline as they plotted their attack. I doubt they’d have succeeded otherwise.

But I’m fairly sure they were specifically trained to stay offline back in Chechnya. Most “smart” terror operations understood long ago that NSA was listening in.

What I can’t do is feel any empathy for the Obama admin when it lamented the loss of assets Snowden caused.

If Obama wanted “intelligence victories” he’d have left it out of the public record that bin Laden was dead. He would have wiped out him and his Paki base, grabbed the computers, and started “running” al Qaeda from Langley.

A president who thinks and acts THAT way is welcome to my phone records.

I’ll give them up (happily) if the cause is victory. It’s not as if anyone is asking us to work third shift in a munitions plant.

I don't know if they have to.

I've heard talk recently on FR that that is exactly why Roberts did what he did, and that he could foresee CA-RATs and other RAT-voters whacking-out about the high premiums and no benefits...can't find a doctor etc.

(Nyuck nyuck nyuck!)

I love my Pope, really I do.

But this thing about helping the “poor”, taking from the wealthy and giving to the downtrodden, it’s just all wrong.

This is not 1590. People are not walking around dripping pus as leprosy devours them. Little girls are not selling matches on frozen street corners.

And I know that the Catholic church gives more money to aid humankind than any government or religion on earth. As member of the finance council part of my job is to help distribute 10% of our collection to local charities. We’re damn strict about it too, but every month just my church is distributing over four grand and that doesn’t include St. Vincent de Paul.

Where are these people wearing rags in the freezing cold, selling matches to the warmed? To hear the pope they’re everywhere.

It’s a message from five hundred years ago. Sorry, but beloved Francis needs to take a stand against or fore something germane TODAY! He could maybe take a stab at good ole Putin, just for starters.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it no matter how many Catholics I make mad.

so, Roberts essentially put the Congress in the vise grips of public opinion to redo, reset the failure.

That is what is happening now. There will be a new congress acting on perhaps three rulings. The Presidnt will say.... I tried but the court destroyed all our good work

Win/win = win

Rather lack-luster line-up today.

Hey Rod, you and Pat should have coffee.

You could talk "fish".

Funny you should mention this.

My personal strategy for ending the welfare state is to cut everybody off from all of it and then wait to see who shows up starving or freezing or hobbling and take it from there on a case by case basis.

You want disability?

Lemme see you crawling along the sidewalk looking for bread crumbs and I’ll think about it.

Not very Christian an approach?

(Well, I’d say that’s arguable but...)

Incumbency is always difficult to run against.

Especially when you have a suicidal GOPe running the show.

Granddaughter was in my church’s Christmas play. She is not Catholic, nor is daughter, no son-in-law. Because they live across the street from me, they are often involved in some fashion with my church.

Many are trying to coax Melissa-daughter- to become Catholic but I don’t see it working. Granddaughter, on other hand, knows all the Catholic hyms, she sings with the choir, she was a Wise Man and Elizabeth in the Christmas pageant and , I say modestly, was best of all.

Granddaughter knows everybody, she regularly dips the holy water and does sign of cross, she holds her hands high and says the Lord’s prayer, proudly.

She’s a little Catholic girl as one can plainly see and I don’t think it will leave her.

Daughter is Christian, very much, but was involved with Baptist church in Baltimore, very involved.

The Catholic church just has no appeal. She only went to Easter vigil with me because I asked her to, didn’t want to go alone. Kaitlyn usually goes to church with me but the Vigil, with the candles, the firepit, singing in the choir, I just couldn’t take her alone.

Which is no mind, just idle chatter as I sit in the quiet before all the storms come in.

And Father Jim was sure in his glory, singing all the priest parts, congratulating everybody, lighting candle, blow out candle, light it again. I’m mad at him for saying the choir talks too much before masses-which we do.

So he makes a big deal of telling us how wonderful we were. Then there was the baptism, then the first communion, all this on Easter vigil.

I also sang on Holy Thursday AND Good Friday. Father Jim stops during processional to light KAITLYN’s candle and all of a sudden Kaitlyn got scared....

....It was nice, I am not complaining, but I been thinking about all things Catholic of late.
