Special Muslim rights????
I'm sure people do get patted down. I was looking for the quote where the President said Muslims don't have to be patted down....that they have special rights.
Doesn't exist. That's what I don't believe is true.

Who thinks Obama won't take this liberty with our money???

And who or what is going to be able to stop him?


From the article:



"President Obama signed EO 13603 on March 16, 2012. The purpose is to
delegate authority and address national defense resource policies and
programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950. It provides the
framework and authority for the allocation or appropriation of
resources, materials and services to promote national defense."

An authority every President since then has had. President Obama is supposed to give this up? Why?

Raise the Minimum Wage
Tasine wrote:
Not again!?!?! Please tell me we aren't doing this schtick again!! Minimum wage increases are part of the problem we are in at present. I've explained it so many times that I refuse to do it again. The people wanting minimum wage increase aren't accustomed to thinking it through to the logical conclusion. They say "it gets more money into circulation", but they don't explain how it does it. They say those on minimum wage wind up on food stamps and/or welfare. I have a feeling that is true - and perhaps why they took a minimum wage job in the first place. Minimum wage jobs are for teenagers without sk**ls. Any grown up who must work for minimum wage is either incapable of advancing because of physical restrictions or because he is mentally slow or because that's where he chooses to be. My bet that it is the choice he makes nine times out of ten.

The minimum wage earner NEVER benefits from a minimum wage increase as it raises the cost of every aspect of the economy - and those increases in cost hits the minimum wage earner just like it hits the millionaire, except WORSE because he can afford it less.

You raise many issues, yet just assume that your answers are the correct ones. Here is a link....

read through and follow some of the links. They will differ on your outlook on the question. People don't work for minimum wage because they are physically restricted or mentally slow. Nobody would work minimum wage jobs if they did not have to. That makes no sense.

Special Muslim rights????
'Muslims do not have to undergo embarrassing physical searches at airports, like Jews, Christians and Athiests must."[/quote]

I don't either and I'm not Muslim, Jewish, Christian nor Atheist. I just step into the machine for 5 seconds and done.
I did, however, go to the web site and saw no such quote. So no....I don't believe this.

What is marriage?
"The insertion of gay marriage is nothing more than a part of that secular attack on what these people call Christian marriage and want to do away with."

I don't know about that, oldroy.
I don't see it as a zero sum situation. Gay marriage takes nothing away from the institution, religious or secular, and may stregnthen it. I don't see it as an attack on Christian values and my understanding is that some Christian Churches perform gay marriages.

None of the above. And I wouldn't object if he were a Muslim, certainly he isn't a Marxist, and I've never shopped at Banana Republic.

I just heard a man, a guest on Glenn Beck, ask the rabbi and a protestant that question. He thought that it is something that our government is trying to destroy through secularization. I have to agree with the man, wholly. They are getting their fingers in the whole marriage thing in order to secularize one more part of Christian belief. Are we wrong?


Don't know who you mean by "we", but marriage is a social institution also, not only a religious one. I never got married in a religious ceremony, yet I am happily married. And since marriage is a cornerstone of our society, I would think that religious folks would be happy that marriage is a rite of passage for everyone.

I'm pretty happy with him, though he's not as progressive as I'd like. I understand that almost half the country feels aggrieved that he was re-elected and will do and say anything to block his agenda, so I don't fault him for not being able to follow up on his goals.

Republicans Trying to Be as Unpopular as Humanly Possible
Since real wages for the average worker have steadily declined over the past couple of decades a case can be made that there has been no improvement in the standard of living for most Americans.
