Carol! Artemis only cares about his views and to heck with anyone else's views that are not in strict alignment with him. He fails to have a honest discussion and will insert half t***hs and false t***hs to meet his agenda instead of answering questions about the subject at hand. With his talk we can surely estimate where he stands at this time.

It is also amazing that liberals think Bush created all of the problems we have in this country, I never said that Obama had caused all of the problems that face all of us today. I stated I do not like many things he has done or tried to do.
I do not disagree with him just because of his color that is inconsequential to what I believe. None of what I posted was r****t in any way shape or form. It was just your r****t way of interpreting my remarks since they did not meet your qualifications.

That post is truly unbelievable. That is like saying I am a r****t just because I do not believe the way you think I should.

Looks like when your Sicilian family came to America they were given their freedom to practice your family's religion, yet somehow you feel others who now come to this country do not deserve the same unalienable rights as your family received when they came over. You have not a clue what America is about, which is why in your ignorance you call me a t*****r, when it is you who goes against our ideology, should I call you a t*****r? America is a country made up of a melting pot, a blending of all the people of the world, we have not closed our doors to anyone... yet. I suppose if you had your way that would change.
Our country has grown far beyond what our forefathers had even preconceived, we have surpassed some of their limited visions, except possibly for Thomas Jefferson, who for this very reason worked diligently and intentionally to ensure religious freedom by keeping church and state separate.
The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom is a statement about both freedom of conscience and the principle of separation of church and state. Written by Thomas Jefferson and passed by the Virginia General Assembly on January 16, 1786, it is the forerunner of the first amendment protections for religious freedom.

If Jefferson were so much for the separation of Church and State why were Church services held in the House of Representatives and other executive buildings? He believed that religion was an important support for republican government. People like you keep using the separation of Church and State as if the Church had no place in any of our institutions. It meant that the Church should not interfere with the government of the people and that the State should not interfere in any religion in any areas not having to do with government affairs. As far as I know no Church has interfered in that capacity. But this administration is now interfering with the beliefs of many Churches, that was not to be permitted under this great Constitution.
As to being the melting pot of the world, we were when people came here to achieve individual rights and protection and to assimilate into our society and not become a society of their own.

They were jailed for burning the area where they grazed their cattle. It was to help the land to become more abundant in its production of grass not a act of defiance. I also agree they should have used another avenue to prove their point instead taking over a park rangers building.
The question of eminent domain. I believe if it is in the interest of the public a person should be paid at least fair market value and experience's to reestablish to a new location of their preference.
It seems that everyone here wants to lump everyone into a certain mold that fits their agenda.

Funny! The reason we did not get a raise in Social Security or retirement was supposedly due to the fall in Gas prices.
So now he tax's our (what's the opposite of a raise) deflation? Inflation? What?
I have one question to ask. Why should Social Security, veterans retirement and disabled veteran recipients not be given a cost of living adjustment this year? Most of these folks do not drive enough to save what it costs extra just for food and housing from year to year. I am one of the people that get SS and veteran disability benefits and we do not drive as much as we used to. So this has hit us and many other individuals in our normal life choices.

What part is wrong answer a few questions
Are you for gun control---------------
Are you for repealing SNAP and food stamps-------
Are you for repealing the EPA -------------------
Are you for cutting the VA -----------------------
Are you for war--------------------
Am I for gun control? Yes! By having a Federal law that anyone committing a crime with a gun upon conviction should have a extra 10 years added to his/hers sentence.
I am not for repealing either program. I am for more stipulations as to who should be allowed into these programs.
The EPA should be abolished as an organization that is staffed by political appointees, that are not nonbiased in their regulations and any regulations should be approved by all the people. That would cause less turmoil than having one group of people trying to force their agenda on the people.
As for the VA. I believe no new funds should be approved unless the wasteful spending of the funds has ceased and there has been a oversight committee composed, of real veterans, who want to see a great program established.
As for war! I think that we should not get into a war unless there are forces that want our destruction. We should not go into other countries to try to instill our type of Democracy on that populace. That is asinine because many countries are still living in the tribal era and have not really moved into the modern world.
I think that should give a view of what I think on these subjects.

Which part is BS you want to repeal SNAP and Food stamps, you want to repeal the clean water act, you do nothing on gun control, you defund the the Va, you want war constantly so which part is wrong.
The new clean water act has implications of trying to regulate areas that have water when it rains and creates a pond or small stream. What does that have to do with clean water? The EPA is using this to take away the rights of land owning people who want to fill in a area, that only has water when it rains, to build a house or make that property a usable piece of land. As far as the food stamp problem there are many people on this program that will not work and just want a handout. That type of fraud should be corrected. As for the VA no one has defunded this agency. Additional funds should not be given until all of the people responsible for the problem are terminated and the wasteful programs have been retrofitted into a program has good oversight to prevent abuse of the system. This has not been done at this present time.

In the aftermath of poisoning of children of Flint Obama vetoed a republican bill that would have k**led the clean water act.
So the GOP agenda of finding ways to k**l kids continues, they allow kids in classrooms to be cut in half with assault rifles and do nothing but continue down the NRA agenda of creating a gun culture in this country. Hooray for the GOP.
No problem just blame Obama. The GOP is great at blaming others for there own failed agenda.
Repeal SNAP and defund food stamps so if we don't shoot these kids let get them through starvation. We can always blame Obama it's easy blaming the black guy.
Now they have come up with another methode to k**l kids let's poison them through the water they drink. We can always blame Obama after all the black guy is an easy target for the h**e filled r****t in this country.
So the GOP has a great agenda shoot kids, starve kids, and poison kids, and if this does not work and they make it to the age of 18 years of age create a phony war to k**l the youth of this country.
When all else fails and you can't starve them, poison them, shoot them, just deny kids health care and blame Obama. It's simple deny deny deny deny.
Now when these kids that went to war and did not get k**led and came home injured just v**e no 11 times under Bush not to fund the VA properly after all just blame the black guy and watch these kids that fought your phony GOP war die and blame Obama.
The GOP lies by saying the EPA is overstepping its authority by imposing burdensome regulations on clean water as an excuse to defund the EPA. All we have to do is blame Obama.
The GOP constantly cry there river of tears over how much they care about Vets, and back in Febuary they blocked another bill to expand Vets benefits because it was to expensive. Over the last 3 years the GOP controlled house have been able to cut Vet benefits in the budget bill that's there sneaky little way to get more breaks for the corporate elite.
So if the GOP continues with there blame game and denial we will k**l off people before c*****e c****e destroys the earth. So we will never know if they were right or wrong.

Obama pointed the finger at Bush when it was the problem created by both parties. Just because we point at bad policies that Obama has instituted does not mean we are r****t. That is just the propaganda spread by the progressives. WE DO NOT LIKE MOST OF HIS POLICIES!!!!
When ever a situation comes up that is created by someone in his party, he has only heard it from the media. That is a clueless leader and one that is not in the act of protecting the citizens of this country.
