My but the lib military haters [typical libs] are our tonight - LOL

The only 'former military' [if you really one] personnel I know who so vehemently hate the military so much either never served or have a less than honorable discharge. Which be you?

NO, I earned what I got under contract [which you very well know], it is the slackers sucking off the teat -- are you possibly one?

BUT bbob - I just did what JFK asked,should your daddy be old enough to remember -- " ASK NOT My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom of man."

Only a TOOL OF THE LEFT would equate 21 years of military service and a tour in RVN as socialism, especially as JFK was a war veteran himself. But if you want to disparage his service as well as mine, then be my guest -- show what a LITTLE 'man' your are.

100K, is that the best they can come up with?

It would boost the economy as then more companies would shun unions for cheaper labor - a WIN/WIN :)

obamacare IS great ...... for the slackers of our society -- for the working taxpayer, not so much.

Remember, unions help the common man......

Local Governments Reeling Under ObamaCare Costs

"Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news has been slowly eroding for many years, worsening further since 2007," the report says. "By that point, newspapers and television news had been struggling for years to figure out how to adjust their strategy for a growing Internet audience."

Until they stop slanting/spinning and ignoring certain news they will continue to lose as it is not the media type itself, rather it is those 'running' it. The people are tired of being lied to. Of course now the libs here will scream 'fauxnews', but then that is just their slanted take which does not explain FOX's dominance of cable news now does it?

More Americans are becoming savvy and are tired of the lib media attempting to manipulate them, hence the 'major' media continues to dwindle in significance.

No, "fair" in the typical modern context is an Appeal to Emotion fallacy to steal from those who produce to give to those who leech
It is the flawed argument to support the idiocy of coerced altruism

Sorry, but Florida is not the only state which outlaws the sale of paraphernalia. Guess the FL stoners will have to bring in form out of state or make their own.

Me, I'll stick with my liquors and wines and beers, which are legal :)

Bonus points if you can answer why.

Example - back in the 70s Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show made a comment referring to a shortage of toilet paper [it was the cheap govt issue toilet paper]. The public panicked and were emptying the shelves in grocery stores. I actually say people filling their carts to overflowing with packs.

There should be no shortage of .22 caliber as this is not what the govt is buying in large mass, but reason goes out the window when mass panic sets in.

German Intelligence: 95% of Free Syrian Army non-Syrian extremist groups:

I found this post from another site interesting as obama has no idea who his administration hands our weapons to:

Q: Why are the rebels in Syria against Assad?

A: "Do not listen to the Western's propaganda! If passable see alternative Media. Syria is secular government. What is going on is by using the stupid Western's hands (USA and allies) Saudi Arabia and Qatar (extreme Islamic countries) try to create pro Islam republic.
The rebels are from many Islamic counties, they are extremist who are been paid. They fought in Iraq, Libya, Bosnia. Nowadays what is going on in the Middle East is example of Islamic type of exporting the revolution."

In the working world the reward for perfect attendance is allowing you to keep your job.

Do we really believe it was a 'careless mistake'?

Being prepared is never a bad idea. Since I've lived many years in hurricane zones I always have a emergency supply of food, water first aid, light camp stove, spare batteries {lithium for long term shelf life}, etc, [even backup toilet paper] -- and of course guns/ammo.

We only have about 4-5 months of supplies, which we consider insurance. Maybe that is not enough in some scenarios, but it gives time, which allows options. With no emergency preparedness one has few options.

Sorry, but if you come knocking for me to share due to Your Unpreparedness - tough, as you will be turned away.

The average situation is that when taking applicants for a position one normally has numerous people applying. Eliminating one with a felony record in favor of one with a clean record is just common sense [all other things being equal].

An employer needs to have a 'weeding out'/elimination factor; not just hire the first in line. Take the education factor for instance: A position may not require a degree, but if 300 applicants with a HS diploma becomes 40 applicants with a college degree, that is quite often utilized to cull the heard.

Does this mean he is going to finally start?

I guess they overlooked the thousands of new rules and regulations, imposed on businesses by this administration, as a a factor.

The chain my wife works for also runs background checks on applicants for employment and will not hire anyone who has a felony. Any employer can and should, especially when the employee will be handling money.

I still remember an applicant who had a felony record for stealing the safe of a previous employer -- think she got the job?

Unfortunately no one seems to care, our nation, once founded on principles of rights for all human beings, has deteriorated into an Imperialistic, Capitalistic greed fest. Like history, "justice" is often determined by those in power.

#51 | POSTED BY NUTCASE AT 2013-06-12 02:48 PM | FLAG: He voluntarily enlisted, which placed him under the purview of the UCMJ.

Enlisted oath: 'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.'

Since he willingly violated Articles of the UCMJ, should he be found guilty, he will be punished as appropriate.

Why is our anthem so bad?

1. It was poem, not written to be a song.

2. It was set to the tune of a a British 'drinking' song.

I see that the media is making a big deal of the fact that Snowden only has a GED, yet was making 122K a year. I personally know a number of people with Bachelor's and Master's Degrees not making 100K so I'm not sure what the media's point is.

If you have such poor communication with your child that you are unaware of their pregnancy and subsequent morning after pill, I'd say there are bigger problems than the unborn child that people like you seem to obsess over.
