Republicans are trying to pressure while democrats are trying to negotiate getting something in return for the failed Bush trafficking law being exploited by Central Americans. The Bush law requires that immigrant children at the border be cared for by Dept. of Health and Human Services and given an immigration hearing with preference for citizenship if any family members are citizens. So the Central Americans here are telling all their nephews, nieces and cousins to come on in. Republicans want to change their law but democrats want something in return. Obama began the negotiation with the public announcement of wanting a $4B border law passed.

I think the Federalist papers were used before the constitution. In the end it was decided that the country needs a strong central government or it could not function successfully. I believe this is what the constitution purveys. I do believe Jefferson thought that the mix of government and religion was not a good idea. I am not alone in this belief and I think the Supreme court has ruled in this manner before. I'm not saying Christianity is all bad . I think it has a lot of good ideas and may be the best overall guide to live your life by. Some of the stuff is stupid and no one can live up to the standards set there. It should not be used as a national religion. The constitution is clear about this.

It shouldn't have to be in the job description. Of course they are not expected to agree on everything but they must also realize it's give and take. In the last midterms tea party candidates ran on " no compromise. Many got elected. Do you think it's a good idea to send them to the congress ? Making a deal is the way it's done and you never get everything you want. As far as the military thing , it is my understanding that the military needs and must function under a chain of command. If you get orders to go you don't go look in the constitution to see if it's OK , you go. You are even expected to fire on US citizens if necessary. That sucks but it's true.

I believe in the sanctity of life and find a******n a great tragedy, for all concerned.

Helping "the least of these" in society is more important than fiscal responsibility, balancing the budget, or capitalism. We have nothing, we are nothing, just a clanging symbol, without this as our number one imperative. Unless we take this attitude to heart, all humanity is doomed. Why?

It has been a dog eat dog world from the first baby steps of Civilization, an eye for an eye was the basic way of life; American offered a far better way. E******y, with laws and powers to enforce it! Repeatedly it has striven, despite great opposition, and succeeded in bringing about greater e******y: no government ever did this before our country.

We have the tendency to get too fat in freedom; our liberty can be a posh armchair. Liberty is responsibility first or it is a joke or just convenience. It is sacrifice and work to live in freedom. It is not a gift from our Creator: it is the work given us by our Creator. America seems to be the hands for this work, given by our Creator.

I take the label of liberal to mean one who is a lover of mankind far above its governments. Humanity is first. This k**ls patriotism for any nation. Patriotism is blindness to the plight of humans.
