Hi nailingit. My post was pretty vague, I will give you that. I was not one of those people saying we should be in Libya. In my opinion when you throw the dictators out of these third world countries, you just replace them with another set of radicals. In regards to my statement about Obama being cozy with radicals. I am referring to the muslim brotherhood. A radical anti West/anti freedom terrorist organization that the President has embraced and helped into power. Egypt is the recipient of 1.3 billion os US aid, thugs storm our embassy which is an act of war and demand Obama to apologize for a movie they don't like. Rather than telling them we honor our First Amendement, he caves like a coward and calls the movie "an abuse of the First Amendement" His foreign policy has encouraged revolutions that have brought our worst enemies to power in the Middle East . The problems in the middle east are not because of Israel, it is due to the radical ideology of religious fanatics.
I support the President's use of drone's to take out the terrorists and I do appreciate that he has continued these policies. However his constant attempt at pleasing radicals is making the middle east more dangerous everyday.
In regards to Fox News. I actually was just referring to the photo. Who is and who is not a credible news organization is in the opinion of the individual. For every person that hates FOX, there are twice as many who believe MSNBC is a joke. For the record, I watch news from a wide variety of news sources that include MSNBC, CNN, etc. Can you say the same? Can you remove your hatred of FOX enough to use them as a news source? If not, I would say hello pot..
Does it not feel like Jimmy Carter and 1979 all over again? We have a weak President that pushed radical governments into power, this is the result we get. Pull up Fox News and look at the photo of our murdered American Ambassador. If this does not make your blood boil, I don't know what will. Why the hell are we being cozy with blood thirsty radicals and ignoring our friends such as Israel. What kind of President does not have time to meet with Israel when they are very close to war but has time to go on Letterman? This guy is a joke for a President. I do apologize if I have offended my friends on here that lean left and I know you hate Fox News but if you could take that out of it. Obama is not respected and is seen as weak which is why they are pulling this crap. He needs to go!
Golden - I don't think anyone is being set up. If they break the law by having massive grows, they get busted. Pretty simple really. I have no problem with people who are ill to use marijuana to ease pain. I certainly would not want any of my loved ones to suffer if something would help.
Sarah does fire up the base but I'm not sure why. I will not listen to her. Surprise guest? Please nobody you mentioned. Trump, Bush, etc. We already had to endure 8 years of Bush talking! Many on the right are stating the same thing that Christie was self serving last night. I can see why people think that. I just like the guy so I didn't really care. I have no doubt he will be running for President in either 4 or 8 years depending on what happens this November. I respect the fact that although he was pleaded with to run this November, he wouldn't do it as he didn't think he was ready. I respect that very much.
Hi Nailingit!! I hope you have been doing fabulous!
None of the people you mentioned will be speaking at this convention, thank goodness! When Sarah Palin comes on the T.V. I can't change the channel fast enough. She is like a cartoon to me. I thought Mitt's wife did a good job and Christie was awesome as usual. I love the fact that he did not waste time attacking the President, he just said what he thought like he always does. Nothing fake about that guy at all.
What the heck is up with this stupid Captcha that needs to be entered to post. It would be helpful if it was easier to read!
luvithere - I agree with your post. I often stay away as I don't like the attacks on this forum. I love a good debate. However, when a person has to resort to insults, I believe they have already lost the debate. While I do not lean left, I respect that people have different opinions. I love visiting D.C. as well.. so much history and is very interesting. Cheers
Hi Hawkeye! Nice to see you too. It is not a matter of forcing the parishioners to use them. It is the fact that the federal government is mandating a religious institution to purchase a specific insurance plans that provides these items when they are clearly against the beliefs of the Catholic church. People are free to work for who they choose. If a private, religious instituion makes the decision not to provide contraception, that individual has the right to change jobs. The federal government should not be forcing a religious institution to provide services that clearly violated what their doctrine teaches. I am for contraception but we must all be careful as someday the government may be mandating something that goes against what you absolutely believe right down to your core.
Hi Nailingit! Drift - The Health care law mandates that employer group health plans cover all FDA contraceptive methods, including contraception, sterilization procedures, and emergency contraception “morning-after” pills.
The Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church commands that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception,” and the papal encyclical on human life that sets forth the Church’s beliefs regarding life prohibits any direct interruption of the life process that has already begun, sterilization and any action which either before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse that is specifically intended to prevent procreation.
This healthcare mandate to a Catholic institution to provide health insurance coverage for its employees that covers contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization clashes directly with the Church’s mandate based on religious belief that the institution is not allowed to do.
I am not Catholic and I do not share these beliefs. However, I stand with the Catholic church's right to not be forced by the federal government to violate the church's religious practices. Individuals are free to seek contraception but the church as an religious institution should never be forced by the government to go against these beliefs.
