Maybe next time they'll think before they act.GregCare to put some money on that? lolI have mentioned this before about Ayn's identification of a non-being wish/desire that her evil archtypes possess.The Jim Taggart meltdown scenes are excellent.It took me a long time to accept the possibility that that "death wish"[non-being] actually existed. The "professorial class" is a perfect incubator for this behavior.A...I just came across an article with a study that provides the average reading level of college students today,Care to take a guess what it is?

Brant Gaede Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The unions, et al., that escaped the ACA are the biggest hypocrites. They participated in the fucking of everyone they could fuck and avoided being fucked themselves. Oh, wait!

Brant Gaede Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Adam, I taught myself to read by reading Classic Comic Books in my local drugstore.

Jules Troy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Brutal! When they did aptitude tests when I was in grade 6 I had a reading comprehension of a 2nd year university student. Ya ya I know it's been all down hill since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I love that "practice reading," as in the kids ought do it. This is the first time I ever heard of that. There's a book out, though, titled "How to Read a Book" by Adler. I couldn't think of reading it, however, until I read "How to How to Read a Book"--not yet written, I'm sorry to say. --Brant (not my original witticism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 That total vote of 266 would still leave them 4 votes shy of a veto over ride which illustrates how powerful the veto pen is.According to sources, the U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday to approve the construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. On the strength of a new Republican majority and with the support of 28 Democrats, the legislation passed with a vote of 266 to 153.Read more at http://www.westernjournalism.com/breaking-house-votes-approve-keystone-xl-pipeline/#JbDUrGU8XsVvDFeo.99There were 16 votes not accounted for.

Selene Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Amazing that the French Republicans [Mark Levin's name for the Progressive Republican Rino Corpratists], did not drive this home during the last two years.Those Americans who didn’t get health insurance last year could be in for a rude awakening when the IRS asks them to fork over their Obamacare penalty — and it could be a lot more than the $95 many of them may be expecting.The Affordable Care Act requires those who didn’t have insurance last year and didn’t qualify for one of the exemptions to pay a tax penalty, which was widely cited as $95 the first year. But the $95 is actually a minimum, and middle- and upper-income families will actually end up paying 1 percent of their household income as their penalty.Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/18/obamacare-penalty-may-come-as-shock-at-tax-time/#ixzz3PFEvGwAKThis should have been part of a daily press conference by the Bonehead Boehner.

Jules Troy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If the US is forced to go universal healthcare then just get it over with and adopt Canada's system. Or go back to how it was in the 50'a and 60's. My thought is it should be government completely hands off with no government collusion. Make it a completely free market with no government subsidy.

Make it a completely free market with no government subsidy.That's a great idea Jules... and healthcare under those conditions would be dirt cheap because of open competition and no third party bureaucratic parasites leeching off of the transactions between consumer and provider......but the reality is that there are not enough productive independent self reliant private sector American Capitalists living in America to make it so.The healthcare system as it exists today is the natural result of a nation completely infested with parasites who all expect someone else to pay their bills.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I truly enjoyed the way Rubio handled this slimy marxist slug Ramos' gutless question? Would you "bomb the church of your gay friends wedding" wife beating question... He has scornful laughter in his eyes as if to say, dude, you cannot be this pathetically transparent... I think he is going to surprise quite a few folks because he is smart, serious and playful when he makes his points. A...DAMN that auto play is on - anyone know how to shut that off?

She is like a Nazi with no sense of humor..Here is her favorite photo of her graduation class:By the way, Rand Paul used the press to "nail" her, really poor choice of words by me, by asking her whether she would permit any limit on abortion, or words to that effect, and she said no.So up until the emerging from the birthing process do we have a "human" with rights. Also, as I am sure we can all accept, that there is no atheist in the near future that will have any chance at being President.So, that should not even be a criteria for judging a candidate's viability.A...
