"Be careful men.......they may counterattack with songs of praise!"
You must read this article.
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
--Obama
I'm sorry, but you don't need to lose a job to love the Bill of Rights, hate illegal immigration, or love religion...............Again, what was he thinking? Is this his view of small-town Americans?
I hate how Dems make it seem like unemployment is such a rampant problem..........What is the unemployment rate---4%? I hate it even more when they say that's why they're Republican! I'm willing to bet my student loans that unemployed Dems heavily outnumber unemployed Republicans.
As much as I disapprove of polygamy and the FLDS church in general, I am hugely disappointed in the government of Texas.
416 children taken from their homes and put into "suitable" foster care. As imperfect as I am, I'd like to see someone try to take my Paige away.
They haven't found the 16 year old who called the authorities. Shouldn't finding her be a priority before you scare the crap out of 416 kids who have never known anything different?
Texas has justified taking those children even if they haven't been abused, because they are all in danger of it. Hmm........I have a better idea--let's go to downtown Miami or Fort Lauderdale and start taking children from their homes because they are in danger of drug abuse, violence, and poor educational opportunities. After all, they might not be harmed right now, but there's definately a chance of it.
I'm sickened by the Baptist buses used to haul the children off (the National Guard doesn't have buses?). I guess the saving of souls should be smiled upon, but Osama Bin Laden recruits by the same method. I hope this isn't a religious crusade, but a lawful endeavor to protect children.
Personally, I don't care if people practice polygamy, but the marrying of children has got to stop. I agree with the law authorities in this regard. Now give the kids back to their mothers!
