A fantastic read on party politics and how ideologies evolve under party banners. #GOP #democrats #republicans #liberal #conservative Originally shared by Hayo Jongbloed Interesting political analysis, in my opinion. https://arcdigital.media/the-republican-civil-war-is-over-the-populists-won-71013b012e43

A #conservative case for universal health care seems very similar to a liberal's case for universal healthcare. Originally shared by **** Conservatives in this country should get used to the idea of being prudent stewards of the welfare state, not its would-be destroyers. Putting the government in charge of health care would restore it to its proper place in our lives. #ACA #AHCA #Trumpcare #Obamacare #Healthcare #SinglePayer #MedicareforAll http://theweek.com/articles/695767/conservative-case-singlepayer-health-care

I went to the library (because, I do that sort of thing) to pick up an item I had placed on hold. It wasn't anything special, just a CD of pop-music. As I park and walk up to the front doors I see a woman holding a clipboard. Great, I thought, someone taking a poll or trying to save the Earth. DOn't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to saving the Earth, I just don't have any money and they all seem to want donations in the form of cash, credit or check and not in the form of time, experience or skill-set. I walk up -- she's looking at me and I'm looking at her. "Are you registered to vote," she asks. Yes, I am actually. Well, I'm not sure, to be honest, I didn't vote in the mid-term election last year because I wasn't in town and I think Colorado has a program where if you don't vote they take you off the rolls. Just to be safe, she advises, let's fill out another voter registration form. Okay. Then she proceeds to treat me like...

I was blocked my Bryan Foster , whom I've been connected to since the days of Google Buzz, because he cannot handle opinions or beliefs contrary to his own. What really annoys me is when people get their "final word" in and prevent you from responding. It's childish. Addendum: I just went to his profile and I can still see it, so I didn't get blocked. Looks like he figured out how to lock his posts. So, this falls under: I have my opinion, and no you're not allowed to disagree with me and no we cannot discuss how I might be wrong. However, now that I look at this again, it looks like he might have blocked me. Or, at least he deleted my comments in this post. My first, right after his original post, was something along the lines of, The President can't buy anything. It's a condition of his office. If you believe otherwise it just shows that you don't know what you're talking about. To which I also posted a link to this article in FOR...

Of course, the bill is unconstitutional. The whole point of the new abortion bans is to force the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade . While reading the first page of this article, this quote is exactly what I was thinking. Then I got to the second page and the article's logical conclusion and mine are in sync with each other. This move by the Virginia legislature is a gambit designed to forcing the SCotUS to revisit Roe v. Wade. Since  the Robert's court make-up has already proven previous court rulings no longer apply, the conservatives are hoping for another act of revising American law via (surprise, surprise) activist judges -- which they claim to hold in contempt on the campaign trail, but who they are relying on for a win they think are coming decades too late. Virginia is now going to be on par with Saudi Arabia , Iran and the Taliban when it comes to women's rights. Sic semper tyrannis -- "thus always to tyrants" is Virginia's official sta...
