We are on a fixed income, and I understand the taxes won't hurt those people. However, most didn't really get a raise on SS, due to medicare premium went up. I didn't get anything more, same as the last 5 years since I have been on it. My brother got $7.00. They forgot to mention medicare costs going up when they promised us the raise. Medicare went up $25.00 a month, so there goes your raise. Some got $2.00 more. I understand Ryan wants to change some rules on SS and Medicare, but I believe that is for the ones not retired yet, either raising the age or something more. I know Trump said when running that he was not going to do anything to Social Security or Medicare. I guess time will tell. Hopefully not. Thank God I am healthy and can work. I feel sorry for those that was looking forward to the raise, and got disappointed like I did! That is the good old government for you! Promises, but does not deliver. The dems would never give you a raise, they are too greedy, and just want you to die, so they can keep your money. Bad enough that you lose a ss check when your spouse dies, you only get the higher of the two. So they keep that money for themselves. Doesn't seem right!

Austria v**ed to make Hitler Chancellor of Austria by 98%.

They did that because no one looked into who Hitler was and what he stood for.

All they had to go on was what was printed in the news papers and broadcasted over state media.

And your right, they never read Mein Kampf, just as you refuse to view videos posted by those who are trying to educate people on Islam.

A lot of those people are former Islamists themselves.

That's like the Jews ignoring ex-N**i's trying to expose the dangers of N**ism in the 1930's.

But, I'm sure there were a lot of people like you that defended the N**i's because, they were a minority and learning the t***h about them would be bigoted.

You want specifics? Well now, let me see: What to do with the Socialist liberals and i*****l a***ns.....
We could mimic the N**I and set up a bunch of internment camps where we force their labor -- Or like Stalin we could set up gulags - Or perhaps we could even model government re-education camps like found under Mao . After all our resident socialist liberals idolize both Stalin and Mao Zedong....

Hey we learned a lot when we interned the Japanese Americans into the desert during WWII

Then again to do that would mean we are no better than the socialist here.

By Islamic law as written in the Koran and supported by the Mullahs' writings, anyone born of a Muslim mother or Muslim father is a Muslim. Just as anyone born of a Jewish mother is a jew.

A Christian has to be baptized and there is no penalty for leaving that faith. You will note that Reverend Wright was asked why he allowed BO to attend his church without being of the Christian faith and not being baptized and he said he did not require that; anyone could attend his church without pressure to join.

Unless that person publicly renounces the Muslim faith before he reaches puberty (and that would be on record) he cannot do so afterward because it automatically makes him liable to death by stoning as an agnostic. Even the punishment for a youth who denies his Islamic faith is pretty Draconian; to be beaten until he recants.

So he IS a Muslim and always will be a Muslim, no matter how much you deny it. If he denied it himself, as I said, he would be in trouble with the rest of the Muzzies. Which is why he is careful not to utter those words. And under their religion he is allowed to lie about being a Christian (which he is also very careful not to actually say). That is called Taqqiya and is permitted when living in a non-Muslim country if being a Muslim would be dangerous to him or hurt the Islamic faith.

There are photos online that are clearly not f**e showing BO in the Indonesian Madrassa learning the Koran and Arabic. He is said to be very talented in both. He has on several occasions stated his love for the Muslim faith, I have heard him say it in his own words on several videos that again are not likely to be f**e. His actions are not those of a Christian they are like those of a Muslim. If it hisses like a snake, crawls on its belly like a snake and spits poison like a snake, surely it can be called a snake?

There is no evidence he was born in the US, his birth certificate and SS card and any other documents not sealed do not show his place of birth was the US. We do not even have his word on it, his own writings claim he was born in Kenya. He laughs at us and our ignorance. He could clear it up easily if he was born in the US; all he has to do is produce the documents. Why will he not do that? It is fishy and any reasonable person would come to doubt the claim of being born in the US. If his father was also named BO then he has dual nationality, in fact triple because Kenyans of the time also had British citizenship so even if he was born in the US he would have three citizenships which no matter how you slice it, it makes him unable to be declared Natural Born because his allegiance is not clean.

This is so easy to research and there is no room for opinion; I wonder why so many stick their fingers in their ears and call "lalalalalalalala" when the subject comes up? If you deny the t***h often enough does that make it not true? Seems that the Left thinks it does. Very difficult to have a conversation with people who do not understand what is being said.

Is it still important? He is no longer the President, so who cares? My opinion is that it matters a lot. Just wait for the outcry from the Left if Cruz tries to run again. If it is OK for BO to be President without being qualified, why not Cruz? Why not ask Kim Jong Un to take the job?

We are a nation of laws or we are not. Until we resolve this issue, I posit that we are not.

we are really a stupid bunch, and that includes me..

all this birther garbage was debunked as the trash that it is years ago.. Now, in desperation, the right hauls it out again, and we are dumb enough to use 17 pages to argue about a non existent claim..

While we do this, the orange con man and his criminal cohorts, are doing things that will affect our children for decades at least..

But do we make a murmur about that?? Heck no... we rehash old lies about Obama which never have and are not now of any importance..

If you accept that Cruz is a citizen, then he is legally a Senator.

At the time of his birth (which was in Canada I think) his father was a Cuban so he got Cuban citizenship and his mother was a US citizen so he got US citizenship. I read that his Mom had renounced her US citizenship to take Canadian citizenship and at the time dual citizenship was not recognized so at that time she and Ted would not have been entitled to US citizenship but obviously that was either wrong or fixed when she and Ted returned to the US. If he has a passport and it was issued legally (which we have to assume because his records have not been sealed) he is a US citizen (even if he was naturalized) and perfectly entitled to be a US Senator.

He is not, under the rules of the Constitution as it was intended when written, entitled to be President. I still v**ed for him last time around because if it is OK for a Kenyan (self-proclaimed by the way) to be President, it is OK for Ted as well.

Congress had to affirm that McCain was qualified to run because he was born in the US controlled part of Panama to two US citizen parents, but in fact he did not need Congress help because he was qualified under the Constitution as written.

We call for BO to go to jail for illegally holding the office of President but in fact the blame must go to the DNC because they were the ones who stated, as required under the law, that he was qualified. At least for his first e******n; they did not make such a claim for his second term, I wonder why?. So if the law was broken it was done by Pelosi and company. There is no law, apparently, preventing an unqualified person becoming President, provided he/she is elected. Everything done during that term is of course invalid, what a mess. But if we are stupid enough to appoint a person not qualified, all we can do is dismiss him. If he had signed a declaration that he was qualified when he was not, that is fraud and punishable but he did not need to do so and most likely did not sign such a document so is not liable.
