KFC - you better cater their gig next year by flying in the goods and making a "party" out of the deal. Talk about publicity event that will go viral.

JCI should sue Ms. Clinton for defamation of their corporate character and ask for a public retraction for the lies as well. Time companies call the political slugs out of their purposeful lies trying to play on peoples emotions and being very careless with the facts. If anyone else had done this, they would be sued. Time to hold political office members accountable for their actions, statements, and obligations to this country. Just my 2 cents.

No one is restricting anyone rights to water. But instead of buying lottery tickets and cigarettes and booze, try paying the water bill for a change.

so go on over there and show us how this is done. Sit down with ISIS and tell them you love them, you'll be more compassionate, co-operative, kind, and non-judgmental and it will be alright.
Heck they might even kiss your cheek before they slay you deader than Jimi himself.
You see some people don't want all that loving kindness - they just want to kill everyone else at any cost. So the only way to cure that ill it to remove it from the "living" column and make it history.
Its sad but true. Until you are dead - they won't give up on their mission.

Even the FRENCH are striking back on ISIS with heavy force. Obama just keeps insisting if we be nice to them they will like us. Obama makes the FRENCH look bold and decisive and we (the USA) look like wimps.

This is funny coming from the man who's primary job is to PROTECT THE U.S.A. A real President would not act like this. rather he would identify our enemies and protect our borders full stop. Yet, Obama does the exact opposite - allowing TERRORISTS to continue to grown and prosper in their plan to kill us all.

The Sky's are dark because our President is a complete failure and likely a traitor.

Mr. President - you're actions says it all.

Re: School district bans tag on playground | News - Home

If "TAG" is banned because it is unsafe or dangerous for the students, then IMMEDIATELY we should call for cancellation of the more "physically demanding sports" such as FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, HOCKEY, CROSS-COUNTRY, TRACK & FIELD, GOLF, AND MANY MORE where the opportunity and chance that a student can be injured or hurt is significantly higher. If its truly about risk and safety of the students, then these all have to be banned as well.

Just saying . . . . . .

Re: Presidential candidate Ben Carson to visit Jackson, Spring Arbor Wednesday

USACitizen — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:35:34 -0000

"one must simply follow the US Constitution and could be of any religion".

If you follow the US Constitution then you oppose Sharia Law. A person cannot support Sharia Law and follow the US Constitution as they are incompatible.

So you just confirmed that Ben Carson has reiterated his statement correctly both times, as both statements say and mean the same thing.

Further, Mr. Carson has not changed his mind as you have incorrectly stated in your posting. Please correct your error.

Re: Pope to bishops: Stop licking your wounds

USACitizen — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:59:56 -0000

Re-Posted from The Patriot Post (09/23/2015). Its long but a good read:

Pope Francis arrived Tuesday for his first visit to the U.S. He will not only tour a
Philadelphia prison and a Harlem school to showcase his trademark concern for
the poor and downtrodden, but he will give the first-ever papal address to
Congress Thursday on a range of topics. The political angle is that Democrats
have finally found a pope with whom they can agree on the issues of climate and
poverty — all while ignoring traditional Catholic teaching on marriage and the
sanctity of life.

Francis arrived here by way of the Communist paradise poverty-stricken totalitarian
island known as Cuba, where he spent four days and met not with dissidents but
with Fidel Castro — whom he reportedly thanked for his contributions to world
peace. Notably, Francis arrived by plane, not by homemade raft on the shores of
Florida as do many of the poor people fleeing Cuba's oppressive regime for the
Land of Liberty.

Indeed, if Francis truly cares for the poor, he showed it quite poorly in this instance.

Of capitalism in general, he said in his recent apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, “Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest,
where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people
find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities,
without any means of escape. ... Such an economy kills.”

It's no wonder he has an eager audience in the Democrats and Castros of the world.

But it's important to understand that Francis' views on capitalism are informed by his
experience in his home country of Argentina — a nation beset with powerful
families and businesses influential in government. In other words, it's not the
free market and it's not capitalism. It's cronyism and corporatism.

It’s also ironic, writes Thomas Sowell, considering “Argentina was once among the leading economies of the world, before it was ruined by the kind of ideological notions [Francis] is now promoting around the world."

God does warn His people about loving money, and greed and inequity are part of sinful human nature no matter the economic system. But which country's poor are better off — Cuba's, Argentina's or America's? The truth is that no economic system has done more than capitalism to lift the poor out of poverty.

Tyranny kills, not Liberty.

Furthermore, Jesus never told his followers to perform charity by giving their money to the Romans instead. Contrary to the assertions of far too many, Jesus was not a socialist — He always preached individual responsibility for our brothers and sisters, not collective statist mandates.

In many respects, Francis' care for the poor is welcome. All Christians ought to see every opportunity to help the disadvantaged among us. But it's the pope's methods
we object to. He is a proponent — at least tacitly — of liberation theology, a
synthesis of Marxism and Christianity born in South America in the 1970s and
80s. Liberation theology embraces collectivization, the subordination of the
individual in favor of the group, and the forced redistribution of wealth and
property without fair compensation. Furthermore, Marxism is profoundly
anti-religion, making its blending with Christian teaching like mixing oil and
water.

It's noteworthy that Francis has thus effectively reversed the position of John Paul II, who was a staunch opponent of such noxious theology, and, together with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, brought down the Soviet Empire. Try to imagine John Paul glad-handing Fidel Castro while dissidents languished in prison.

On the subject of climate change, the onerous regulations and top-down government solutions favored by Francis and his fellow alarmist travelers (and we do mean travelers in fuel-burning jets all over the world) are exactly the policies that will hurt the poor the most.

In his recent encyclical, Francis declared, "The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth." He blames the problem on consumerism, corporate greed, overreliance on technology and the poisonous political atmosphere in and among many nations. He called for a radial change in how people conduct their
political and economic affairs and suggested that the time has come for each of
us to alter our individual lifestyles in response to climate issues.

But The Wall Street Journal retorts, "Well, he should have seen East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, or the air in Beijing today. Coercive governments are the worst befoulers of the environment. Democratic capitalism has created the wealth and electoral consent to clean the air and water, and only continued economic growth will
create the resources to deal with climate change if it does become a serious
threat to the Earth."

Francis says, “Humanity is called on to be aware of the need to change lifestyles, production and consumption” because the world is filled with a “culture of waste.” We're
all for using energy judiciously and curbing waste, but not under the pretense
of a UN-Vatican mandate, which is essentially the prescription Francis gives.

In short, while Francis has authority over doctrinal issues in his own church, his message on climate and economics is dead wrong and it should be rejected.

Re: Volkswagen scandal widens: $7.3 billion cost, 11 million cars

USACitizen — Tue, 22 Sep 2015 09:50:27 -0000

II am no fan of the EPA mind you - they do more harm than good, especially since politics of the day rules over common sense environmental controls to protect America. But this is another topic in an of itself.

My point here is simple - VW knowingly defrauded everyone by cheating the system. Now they got caught and looking at recent rulings against auto makers - should be hit with the biggest penalty possible to send a message that if you get caught doing this type of stuff - you go out of business. And more importantly - PEOPLE should go to jail.

Re: Volkswagen scandal widens: $7.3 billion cost, 11 million cars

USACitizen — Tue, 22 Sep 2015 08:54:23 -0000

This was no innocent mistake. VW took great pains to skirt around US EPA regulations and knew exactly what they were doing to falsify data and cheat everyone to do what - make a profit. So VW should now pay dearly for this intentional fraud to the USA market to profit back home in Germany. Aside from new record fines, people should be in prison for this. Lets get this one right for a change!

Re: Customer shoots bank robber in Warren

You point a gun at me you better mean business right then and there because I will respond accordingly to protect myself. There is absolutely no reason to point a gun at anyone unless you are going to use it on someone.

Maybe now bank robbers (or any robbers for that matter) will think long and hard about wondering if the people they want to rob using a gun are armed or not.

This idiot took his gamble and lost.

Awesome Day for justice in the D!

And remember, "Oaths can only be made to God. An affirmation is an oath by another name," Gordon said. "A rose by any other name is still a rose, and an oath by the name affirmation is still an oath and is a religious ceremony."

Re: Mike Huckabee to visit county clerk in jail

Just a quick question??
Did Ms. Davis have to swear an oath in court using the Holy Bible before testifying? If so, then she followed that oath to the letter if the oath in court is before God (e.g., to tell the truth so help me God) then the Judge is the one who violated the law by asking Ms. Davis to violate her oath he asked her to swear in by or go to jail. Just a thought!

Re: Committee investigating Courser-Gamrat scandal to meet Tuesday

USACitizen — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:21:01 -0000

They breached their "oath of office" and should be fired. A "public" job is based on trust, good faith, and integrity. They have both abused and misused all of the above. They only feel "remorse because they got caught" not that they turned themselves in because of guilt. We can forgive but not forget. They now should lose their jobs and pensions and benefits - terminated for unprofessional conduct.

Re: Another Shooting Prompts Gun Control Push

USACitizen — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:18:06 -0000

Restrictive
gun control laws do not prevent criminals from obtaining guns; they only
prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves.
You could pass 1,000,000 gun laws (or outlaw them all together) and yet people intent on criminal behavior and want a gun to do it will find a gun to commit their crimes. The criminals don't follow the laws.
Law-abiding citizens have the 2nd amendment - to KEEP and BEAR arms lawfully. That means, if I choose to lawfully own, keep, or use a firearm - its mine. The U.S. Government (and all other governments for that matter) do not have a say so in my 2nd amendment rights.
The government should address law breakers and enforce laws already on the books in address crime.
A gun (et el, hammer, knife, vehicle, rock, brick, 2x4, etc...) has never killed anyone on its own. People are what kill people and these items happen to be the means at which they do it.
As usual government wants to address a problem by looking at it incorrectly and then wonders why their efforts are fruitless and of no avail.
This is common sense!
