  The notion of following the Constitution to the letter, smaller gov so we can have lower taxes...these are radical ideas to many...no wonder we're in trouble.   The Tea Party formed because the Republicans were big gov spenders, just like the Democrats and conservatives no longer had representation...the only thing they wanted out of the elected Republicans was to quit spending more money than the fed gov took in and cut wasteful spending and bloated agencies and programs.   If that is radical (and it is to a progressive liberal) count me in as a radical.

  I'll try again...radical in what way?

  The big deal is this isn't something that the fed gov should even have on their radar.  Billions of dollars are wasted by this massive bloated fed gov because they feel they should oversee and regulate every area of our lives...and staff up to do just that.   And it will continue because there are many like yourself that go "what's the big deal?"  Let them go ahead and do it.   I feel most states are very capable to decide what type of wood stove can be sold or how many gallons of water a toilet flushes.   The fed gov has a very short list of responsibilities as stated in the Constitution for a good reason.

  The answer is no...and that could be said about a thousand other things they meddle in  Problem is, too many people feel the fed gov should be regulating every area of our lives.

  Oh yeah...Gotcha.  Radical in a conservative kind of way.   The masses are much too enlightened to elect a guy like that.

Radical in what way?

Country's' not individually independent enough to elect a ticket like that...last two elections are proof.

Oh, the tolerance from the left on free speech...as long as they agree with your "free" speech.   [Hidden Content]   In a blog post Thursday, Mozilla's executive chairwoman, Mitchell Baker, apologized for Mr. Eich's appointment, writing, "We have employees with a wide diversity of views.(some we WILL NOT tolerate) Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public (obviously not)…But this time we failed to listen, to engage, and to be guided by our community."   What a load!

What the heck is wrong with some people?

Only thing you can do is take down the feeder because the birds can't won't change!

I wonder when the administration will start regulating volcanos?

  I agree...one of the few things that the fed gov SHOULD actually be responsible for.   Be willing to engage the enemy, but don't smoke...smh.

Why would you have dogs like this...and around your 85 year old mother.   [Hidden Content]

:rolleyes:   [Hidden Content]   From the article:   Seagal, who has toyed with the idea of seeking Russian citizenship, said that Putin's “desire to protect the Russian-speaking people of Crimea, his assets, and the Russian Black Sea military base in Sevastopol … is very reasonable."   Go for it...take Alec Baldwin with you!

  Just a few verses of what God's view of that "walnut" may be.   Jeremiah 1:5  “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”   Psalm 139:13-14 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.   Isaiah 49:1  Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.  

  Poor Diane...doesn't like it when she's treated like any other American.

One leads to the other...if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. Hmmm... that sounds like you only have to participate in obamacare if you volunteer.

Voluntary... a scary word when used in any new government program.

Smitty could never be ABSENT!   :D

We sure have "progressed" since Leave it to Beaver aired.       From the article:   In the first ever episode of "Leave it to Beaver," Wally and the Beaver set out to buy a pet alligator. "We were going to put it in the toilet because we knew alligators needed water," Mathers said. "At that time, you not only couldn't show a toilet, you couldn't show a bathroom on television. It was prohibited."       [Hidden Content]

Do you listen to you own argument?  You point your finger at the right like we're the bad guys because we may not want to support babies after they're born, but they ARE getting supported.   I assume you think the left are the good guys because they are all for taking care of the "problem" by killing them.   There's no conundrum...give them the right to live, like every human being should have, and figure it all out.   Take the murder "choice" off the table.

So we'll just kill them...problem solved!   That's not yours, mine or anyone's call to make...or shouldn't be anyway.   So if someone doesn't have an abortion and a child is born in a terrible situation and on gov assistance, should there be an option to "terminate" this child?  No wait, that's illegal...same result, though.   The same, EXACT result!

I do disagree...the complacency we, as a nation, have towards this will at some point have major consequences.   55,000,000...that's 1,375,000 a year for 40 years.  In no way is that some sort of solution...not one that 1,375,000 a year would agree with anyway.
