Obamacare Is Crumbling

The forced doctor switches and increased taxes have not kicked in yet. As employers drop healthcare coverage and the IRS starts collecting penalties, you will see a change. Based on the problems Obamacare faced, I don't see a switch to a government run, single payer system. Obamacare is dying, the big question is, what next?
I don't think the school has it right. While I have not taught AP World History, I have looked closely at materials given by College Board designed to help prepare students for the test. Go to the website and take a look at the course. This school is taking things out of context as I understand the course.
Because government is a leading cause of the epidemic violence in black communities. Economic policies promoting out-of-wedlock births and absentee fathers, a poor education system lacking meaningful accountability, economic policies that discourage job development and employment opportunities, a law enforcement and justice system that all too often fails to protect the innocent, a lack of meaningful gun-use reform, a lack of meaningful solutions addressing the problems created by deep-seated institutionalized racism lead to the need for government to do something so the good citizens of the community can actually do something.
This is great. The previous vote was a lie. Obama's comments as a senator were not real, they were symbolic--but meaningless. That also means his comments weren't really symbolic, they were lies. But that's OK, there wasn't problem back then. It didn't matter. Must be nice to not really believe what you say and be OK with it.
Really? Look within the pages of the Bible and you will find your answer. Clearly changes in beliefs and actions change within the Bible. In the Old Testament we see a forward looking belief system as believers anticipate the arrival of the Messiah. Once he arrives in the person of Jesus, that belief system changes. The situation changes.
Thanks, Piers, for the advice. I prefer to leave my Bible unchanged. For those of you who disagree with the Bible, that is your right. It truly is my beliefs that form my views and understanding of the Bible. I am fine with that outcome. I also understand there are those who disagree with me. I am OK with that result, too. My belief system forms my outlook on the world and my opinion of what public policy should be and not be. This is the same for everybody. Our system here in the US is OK with this idea. Just don't tell me I am not allowed to use my belief system within the public arena, that is not how the system works. Piers does not get this. That is intolerance.

Question John Kerry Long and Hard!

All I know is, based on his public statements, the man is an admitted war criminal. Kerry maintains that he he knows and is aware of committed war crimes in both the Vietnam and current (Iraq & Afghanistan) conflicts but has failed to give any specifics or name names. Such unreported knowledge is a violation of several national and international laws and treaties. This will be our next Secretary of State?

That's the problem. You have an edited clip. You need the two paragraphs prior to the clip to have complete context. Nobody from the White House used this idea time and time again when they had the chance. Obama repeatedly refused to call Benghazi an act of terror when he had the chance-he wanted to wait until he had all the facts. And there was this video....
Happened in Chicago at several schools last year.
