Re: Senator Moran Bill Would Cut Funding of UN Small Arms Treaty

Wow Bruce.
The UN wants to take your rights away and you are like, "Go ahead I don't care because guns kill people."
What about taking away Automobiles, Alcohol, Cigarettes, Knives, Bows and Arrows, Rocks, Sharp metal scrap, Broken window fragments, Baseball Bats, Razorblades, Pens & Pencils, Rope, and I can kill with a
pillow.

How do you sleep at night with yourself.
Especially without your pillow.
Your pillow could magically leap up on it's own and kill you you know.
You think that's stupid Bruce?
It's as stupid as Guns kill people.

Get it yet?

there should be no treaty signed that would violate our constitutional rights look at all the mideast countries where small arms are banned all you see are rebels n such carrying ak 47s and rpgs around look at mexico the only ones there to have guns are the police n military yet what are the drug gangs using certainly not slingshots so if you ban small arms in the usa do you really think the criminals are going to give up their guns or even tell authorities theyve got them .......nope you wont know it until they use them on you so grow up n dont be a sheep

The Coalition on Revival/New Apostolic Reformation is Dominionist. A number of the most extreme Tea Partiers in Congress and in State legislatures are NAR. The COR/NAR plans "to completely capture a majority of seats in the US Congress and in a majority of at least 40 state legislatures in a stated number of years."...

Journalist Frederick Clarkson has written extensively on the subject of Dominionism. Clarkson stated that the ulterior motive of Dominionism is to eliminate “…labor unions, civil rights laws, and public schools.”... "Their agenda to undermine all government social programs that assist the poor, the sick, and the elderly is ingeniously disguised under false labels that confuse voters." They maintain the necessity of Laissez-faire economics, requiring that people 'look to God and not to government for help.'"... "Despoiling of America: How George W.

When america sent their local unused product to india as part of globalization and broke indian businesses that was exploitation of globalization. See in this world things goes in both way not only one way. One thing we need to remember that now our local companies know that they can get work done in cheap rate in other country. so even though u put this ppl out of this country company will send that work to overseas and that will not solve any problem it will keep increasing this issue.

Re: Gay ‘Marriage’—What the ‘Creed of Individualism’ Hath Wrought

PolishBear — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:51:38 -0000

If anything, the issue of marriage equality for Gay couples is simply an acknowledgment that Gay people exist, that the only difference between a married Gay couple and a married Straight couple is the sexual orientation of the two people who have made the commitment, and that there is simply no Constitutional justification for denying law-abiding, taxpaying Gay couples the same legal benefits that Straight couples have always taken for granted.

My views on this are pretty much in line with what we commonly refer to as The Golden Rule: We treat others as we ourselves wish to be treated. Why is it that it's perfectly acceptable, even admirable, for Straight (i.e. heterosexual) couples to date, get engaged, get married, and build lives together in the context of monogamy and commitment, and that this is a GOOD thing ... but for Gay couples to do exactly the same is somehow a BAD thing? To me this seems like a very poor value judgment. It surely can't do with sexual compatibility, since I would be no more compatible with a Straight woman (or a Straight MAN for that matter) than Jack Kerwick would be with a Lesbian.

Ask any Straight couple why they choose to marry. Their answer will not be, "We want to get married so that we can have sex and make babies!" That would be absurd, since couples do not need to marry to make babies, nor is the ability of even desire to make babies a prerequisite for obtaining a marriage license.

No, the reason couples choose to marry is to make a solemn declaration before friends and family members that they wish to make a commitment to one another's happiness, health, and well-being, to the exclusion of all others. Those friends and family members will subsequently act as a force of encouragement for that couple to hold fast to their vows.

THAT'S what makes marriage a good thing, whether the couple in question is Straight OR GAy.

Sorry, Phyllis and other readers of this site: Star Parker DID NOT "grow up on welfare", rather, she was the daughter of an Air Force officer father, who upon committing several petty crimes as a teenager, ran away to Los Angeles, where she commenced her life as a welfare mom milking the system like a pro gambler at a casino.

Welfare DOES NOT provide "free housing", that is a separate program; HUD, which also provides housing for eligible working people.
Also, there is no longer such thing as "as long as they don't get a job",
welfare regulations demand all mothers work, and many of them are still eligible for benefits, due to the dismal wages paid by too many
jobs available to poor mothers. At that level, the issue of "saving money"
is nil.

By the way, next time you interview Ms. Parker, you might ask where is her ex-husband, Mr. Parker, and her youngest daughter, Rachel.
Your fact-checkers can work on that one.

I would not feel bad at all if someone with better qualifications and experience took a job from an Indian citizen. I would expect the Indian citizen to better his/her skill sets to move on to better opportunities.

"Charity begins at home. The US must ensure that the people who have paid their dues, taxes, and in many cases, risked their lives on our behalf - Americans must get a fair chance to compete for jobs to earn a living wage, have access to medical care, a roof over our heads, and food on the table... Our Constitution ensures the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to Americans... (note pursuit of happiness in Jefferson's day - JOBs.)"

First, we are not charity, we work hard for a living. You do not give us anything for free, if you did, then that would be called charity.

Another thing, weren't your forefathers immigrants? Tell me, what did they do to the people who were originally from this country? Did your forefathers "leave them in peace and allow them to solve their own problems"?

Also, do you honestly exemplify the values of America. I love this country equally if not more than some citizens here, who do not know the history of this country, think its cool to go to jail to get street cred, can't name the vice-president, talk and do other things while the national anthem is played. Its appalling that I (yes, a lowly H1-B worker who isn't even a citizen) have to ask people to stop talking and stand up when the national anthem is being played. Do a lot of people deserve to be citizens, no, they don't. A lot of people join the military for benefits, rather than patriotism. You know its true.

I have asked repeatedly but with no response, why are you against the H1-B visa and NOT the Green card lottery system? Do you think the people who come here with green cards will conjure up money to live?

"Certainly, India needs its own best and brightest to solve its problems. The US needs our own talent, citizens and legal permanent residents, and has no need for your assistance at this time."

I beg to differ.

Exclude the English portion of those tests and check the analytical capabilities. Send me the link for STEM competition because I've never heard of it.

How are we "exploiting" the program? Go on, enlighten me. There is an international visa cap and we are utilizing it. Where are we breaking any laws here?

Have you not heard of "squeaky wheel gets the oil"? Let's say someone has just robbed a bank and witnesses state it was an Asian guy, who would you search for? I guess it would be "racist" to go out and profile Asians on the street for a suspect and instead go after some white person to pin it on.

People entering the country without inspection (as per US law states it is) has gotten out of hand, there has not been enough to curb it. The US government has a Constitutional obligation to the States under Article IV , Section 4 "shall protect each of them against Invasion"

Technically we could call it an invasion because the long term effects is it is altering the established government and has started almost ignoring them from continuing their illegal activity.

india is exploiting the visa program way beyond it's original intent - yet they are alarmed when fees are increased.

Talent knows no borders.

People across the globe deserve have the right to be treated with respect and dignity.

It makes no difference if they are the tallest, shortest, smartest, or dumbest - they are human beings.

Some day, your elitist entitled remarks mayl come back to haunt - just wait until you get your turn on the opposite side of the discussion.

Charity begins at home. The US must ensure that the people who have paid their dues, taxes, and in many cases, risked their lives on our behalf - Americans must get a fair chance to compete for jobs to earn a living wage, have access to medical care, a roof over our heads, and food on the table... Our Constitution ensures the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to Americans... (note pursuit of happiness in Jefferson's day - JOBs.)

Sadly, corporate greed and political corruption have robbed US citizens of the basic rights. Thanks to these factors the US Congress passed laws written by convicted felon Jack Abramoff and paid for by Bill Gates that make it 100% legal for employers to lay off Americans and replace us with foreign visa holders - no questions asked. This has NOTHING to do with being BEST and BRIGHTEST and everything to do with greed and corruption. The number of highly educated, skilled and unemployed Americans with advanced degrees and years of experience is shameful.

Americans, this greed and corruption is bi-partisan. Both sides of the aisle don't look beyond the cover page of falsified reports to advance GREED not people in NEED. Vote the out. Vote them ALL out.

Certainly, India needs its own best and brightest to solve its problems. The US needs our own talent, citizens and legal permanent residents, and has no need for your assistance at this time.

Please leave us in peace and allow us to solve our own problems.

How can you say Min. Farrakhan "...thrive(s) on such violence"? Read Minister Farrakhan's column dealing with strategies for reducing violence; also listen to his numerous lectures titled "Stop the Killing"; listen to his speech from the Million Man March and observe how the trends in violent crimes decreased immediately following that message; more recently, study how crime was reduced in the southeast part of the city of Chicago when sent sent members of the Nation of Islam in those areas with literature dealing with how to reduce/stop crime. These are just a few tidbits of information. There is much more All of this information can be found on the Internet, as well as The Final Call newspaper website.

On Memorial Day 2000, here in Liberal Berkeley, my middle
school aged sons were victims of a brutal bias motivated attack while playing in the local park. We live in a predominately AA neighborhood which suffers from underclass street crime. My 13 year old was repeatedly stomped in the head, his crime was being white. The teens who attacked him used the ruse of joining my sons’ soccer play as the set-up. Their parents encouraged the attack. A local school teacher who witnessed the crime was so afraid of retaliation she did not contact the police for two weeks. Even though the park was full of families no one did anything to stop the violence, call the police or assist my injured child.

The local cops were supportive, they explained to me this style of group beatdowns were referred to as ratpack assaults and had been occurring for decades. They further explained that the city's unofficial policy was to deny the racial bias motivation and avoid any political fallout. The most passionate officers encouraging me to confront the official denial were black.

The following year my son’s friends at Berkeley High were victims of racial violence on campus. The drama was recorded by the offenders with school video equipment. The game was called the boxing game, after selecting a lone freshman male, a box was place on their head, dozens of black teens took turns punching and kicking the target while proclaiming their dominance by yelling slogans of vengeance over the “white slave master”. The school security did nothing; the police finally made arrests of some of the perpetrators caught committing the same act at UCB and the BART station.

I was no longer ignorant of how pervasive these crimes really are. I was profoundly troubled by the immoral complicity of adults in my community, who chose to sacrifice the white victims, the black offenders, and civil society in an unethical attempt to avoid the messy business of racial politics.

I wrote a commentary about the silence in the local paper. I spoke out at a hate crime forum. I became a contact and support person for families of victims. In 2002 and 2005 on behalf of a large group of victims' parents I contacted the DoJ Community Relations Service for assistance. The DoJ CRS mediator was great; they knew about the history of this violence in our community and were prepared to facilitate a community dialog. But it was not going to happen because the Mayor and the School’s Supt would not commit to the process.

The information on the DoJ website about college campus hate incidents accurately describes the psychological motivations of these group assaults.

http://www.justice.gov/crs/pub...

Mayor Nutter got it right last year making a speech at his church following brutal flash mobs terrorizes downtown, but little we change unless the white victims are given a voice and find justice in a system that has institutionalized racial discrimination against them because of the color of their skin.

Jobs4US , i am not
complaining at all about paying taxes. but let me ask you how u feel if you don't get medicare , SS or unemployment benefits even after paying those Taxes. feel cheated right ? that's what happening , and again m not complaining about it. I am complaining about they are getting target even after paying and giving 100% hard work to improve company which basically improve country. what about ppl who is jumping border or coming on free lottery and use your road , school etc without paying taxes. i don't see any article against them.

H1B holder is educated and above average person , now u decide that who we need in this country , ppl without education, jump border, not paying taxes or ppl come legally, pay taxes and educated ?

if you stop this ppl now then other country will pull them , USA is best just because immigrants came to this country and made this country best. if you stop this trend then af 15-20 year we will not be No 1.

it's time for now or never. total number of H1B ppl is way less then ppl who jump border so target them not h1b holder.
