Reminds me of the old joke, "True conservatives subscribe to the "invisible hand" theory of free market capitalism and everyone else thinks it means the government's hand is so far up everyone's backsides it just can't be seen.. but boy is it felt." ;-) @DanFarfan

"Americans are tired of the rhetoric and games from Republicans and Democrats. It is time to put our house in order, or to change the team in charge." This is exactly why a provision of my "Law Making" Amendment makes the positions of Speaker of the House and Senate Leader assigned by public election - first Tuesday in December, only people from each party who voted in the November election that put the Senators and Representatives their jobs in the first place. :-) @DanFarfan - "The Next 10 Amendments"

"But the tea party is supposed to be different. It stands for fiscal responsibility, spending cuts and deficit reduction." Those are consequences, not principles. "Hopes for" or "calls for" or "protests for" would be more accurate than "stands for" until "the" tea party wraps its emergent brain around actual principles congruent with America.
"Private citizens in the "private sector" led the charge on correcting these grave American injustices, and the U.S. government followed - not the other way around." Excellent point. This just one of the reasons totalitarians, of all stripes, want to make citizens more and more dependent on government for jobs, for food, for housing, for medical care, for medical insurance. On and on. They will have won when there's no need to fight the government because the government is everything and everyone.
"when workers were organizing for the right to organize, and were bein' intimidated, they weren't sure when change was gonna come, but they knew it was gonna come, and I am tellin' you Wisconsin. we are bringin' about change, and progress is gonna come.but you gotta stick with me, ya can't lose heart." Wow.

Boxer's Fiction vs. Fiorina's Facts

"It wasn't Boxer's first foray in fiction, and no contrast seems sharper than the gulf between the candidates' books. Boxer co-wrote two novels about a too-good-to-be-true spunky liberal California senator from California. At one point, the fictional Democratic leader tells Boxer's alter ego, "You've personally raised the integrity bar. People are asking themselves, if they can't trust you, then who can they trust?" lol. What a line! I wonder if someday far in the future, if America ever devolves into full-fledged fascism (govt and business are one) historians will look back for an explanation and decide that letting politicians sell books while in office was a really bad idea (even when "proceeds donated"). Commercial rewards should...

"Oil has jumped to $83 a barrel, and gas at the retail pump is heading toward $3 a gallon." It's unfortunate that it's usually only round numbers that wake up big chunks of people. $100 oil, $4 gasoline... whole new ball game.
"The HUBZone designation was one of the few governmental initiatives that had as its goal creation of jobs within, and growth of, economically distressed regions in the U.S." "Creation of jobs" may be the objective of HUBZone, but it's not a goal. A goal for HUBZone would be a number of jobs to create. A goal is a specific measure used to determine when an objective is met. Confusing objective and goal as synonyms is roughly equivalent to politicians confusing passing a bill and making an improvement. Dan - "The Next 10 Amendments"

Did the bakery refuse to sell ANY cupcakes to the group or refuse the design requested? Big difference. I wonder what MLK would say about this issue. I wonder how the story would be different if MLK owned the bakery. If Larry Flynt walked into a bakery and demanded Hustler-esque designed cupcakes, would the same folks demand the baker has no choice but to comply? How about the face of Bill O'Reilly? Can a lover of all things FOX demand an Olberman-loving baker put O'Reilly's picture on the cupcakes? Can the Olberman-loving baker be forced to put Bill O'Reilly's picture on the wall along with the other notable patrons who have visited the bakery? Can a baker be forced to include medical marijuana in brownies? Does a business...
