Upsetment

I think every member of congress who changes their position should have to explain publicly how doing so makes sense to him/her so that the voters can have that information when it comes time to vote. And if they all give a canned answer, that fact should be made very public.

It Matters Radio is a show you want to catch. One of the best things is that you can also listen to the podcast, so you never have to miss the show.

This sounds like horse shit to me. For a political leader to make pronouncements based on rumors suggests that we should send him back to the minor leagues. He damned well better be able to back this up with real evidence.

When did Jeff Flake decide that money for his campaigns was more important than voting intelligently on behalf of his constituents?

It was an ill-timed decision made by beuraucrats in that supposedly limited government state.

There has been a definite failure to manage government in the way that we expect from the administration. This is clearly exacerbated by the absence of certain key people, such as a head of the IRS; but in the end it is a real failure by the president.

Does that mean we should give up on how we govern or we should demand better? I go with the second option because we cannot prosper nor achieve happiness without good government.

The soul pays a great price for going to war.

Meat grown in the laboratory -  what could possibly go wrong? Is there a "brave new world" on the horizon?

Once again we have a new low in the sicko group.

Why does our country have such an injustice system when we claim to be the land of justice and freedom?

Except this isn't a clear case of self-defense. He ran away from a woman who challenged him with a phone in her hand and then went past the goodies to steal to look for this lady and her kids in a crawl space. Something isn't quite kosher with this story. And why did she call her husband instead of 911? Nope, can we have Perry Mason weigh in on this one?

And, yes, I do believe in the right to defend yourself in your home and the right to own guns. Just not sure I believe this story.

Does anybody honestly believe that if the Jews of the world had the money and desire to buy a country they would pick Hungary? Now if they were talking New Zealand or Costa Rica, maybe even Holland, but Hungary? Always knew antisemites were dumb.

A wow medical story. A very rare condition that went undiagnosed. Luckily it ends well.

At least Mr. Coburn is being consistent. So how many of those cuts will be to other services and expenditures made by the federal government in OK?

I love doing It Matters Radio with Monica, Brenda, and Kerry.

Once again we see the GOP trying to deprive people of the right to vote. I have to ask once again, why would anybody support a party that was so opposed to democratic process?

Islam today is torn between those who would go back to a "purer religious society" and those who want the benefits of modern materialism and freedom. This is the real issue in the Muslim world, especially the Arab portion of it; and it is an issue which we in the "West" can not address.

Portman joins Flake in my list of previously respected senators, the ones I thought were honest even if they disagreed with me, but for whom now I have a distain. You don't try to mislead your constituents when we so clearly want gun control.

So the person who was screwing around with the response to Benghazi was a Republican water carrier; may there was a conspiracy after all, but whose?

No problem with guns - nah, not in this country.

Returning soldiers: We call them heroes, but we treat them like discarded sandwiches. There is something sadly wrong with our government and it can be summed up by the preoccupation with money instead of people, with the rights of corporations and organizations instead of the well-being of individuals.

Whatever happened to it's better for a hundred guilty people to go free than for one innocent person to be found guilty?

Was there anybody who didn't already know this? This Supreme Court thinks that corporations are direct descents from Adam and Eve or at least from Jesus Christ. They have lost the sense of proportion that T.R., Taft, and Wilson tried to give back to the country after the last corruption of the late nineteenth century.
