Holder is either incompetent or a liar. Either way, he should be removed from office. Congress needs to stop dilly-dallying around and DO SOMETHING. We, the People, are tired of all the talk, talk, talk, and no action. He not only lied in order to get the subpoena, he went judge shopping in order to get it issued. I wonder what he promised that third judge. Look for him to get moved to a higher bench in the future.
I called the school district, who gave me the lawfirm phone number. I got the name of the attorney handling the case and looked him up in Martindale-Hubbell. I left a strong, but respectful message telling him there was no conflict with the Establishment Clause, since the cheerleaders were not trying to establish any type of religion in their school and that I thought the suit was a waste of taxpayer money and they should refund whatever retainer they were paid.

Sorry, that was "held my nose"
McCain and Romney were chosen as the GOP candidate by the GOP Establishment, not by the rank and file voters. That is my opinion, but it is backed by the fact that during the last primary season, each time one of the candidates started to pull ahead in the polls, that candidate was attacked by the MSM and the GOP Establishment did NOTHING to defend the candidate being attacked and everything to say 'see, Mitt doesn't have that problem'. I voted for McCain and Romney in their respective elections, but neither was my first choice. In fact, "Anyone but Romney" was my mantra until he became the GOP candidate and I sucked it up, held my note, and voted for him. The GOP Establishment doesn't want a change, and until we get those RINOs out of power, we will continue to get more of the same.

Snot, Baptism is not a covenant, it is an outward symbol of an inward change. It represents death (going under the water) to the old nature and a rebirth (coming out of the water). Also, baptism is not necessary for salvation. The scripture says Believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Not believe and be baptised.
How would the United States have fared in the two world wars without revenues from taxes? If two world wars were funded by taxes, why did the government sell war bonds? · How would life be different for low-income, disabled, and retired Americans without Social Security and the other services that taxes fund? People would have to rely on themselves, their families and local churches. · Do you think the United States would have been able to attain and hold its position in the world today without the support of taxes paying for defense? Is the the position that requires the president to apologize to muslim countries? · Would the American lifestyle, as we know it, have evolved without income taxes? Allowing me to retain control of my money and how it is spent, my lifestyle would be the same or probably better than it now is.

"In a more just world, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Hall Ingram and Lois Lerner would have been fired. " Add the POTUS to that list.
Parents who parent don't have children who run wild. We took our two children to the mall, restaurants, movies, etc., and anywhere else we wanted to go and they were well-behaved, but they were still children. They were taught to talk in a normal voice, not a scream or a whine (my aural range does not recognize "whine"). One woman barber who refused to cut my son's hair because "kids just won't stay still" watched as he sat quietly and had his hair cut. Before we left the shop, she apologized and said she'd be glad to cut his hair anytime. I politely refused and told her we were perfectly happy with the barber who had done his hair. No tips for her! Same with my daughter. People said we sounded like we were talking to a dog, using one-word commands, when we talked to our children. But they heard and obeyed, so what's wrong with that? So don't lump us all with the parents who let the children run wild. We feel the same as you do.

A Sober Approach to Drunk Driving

Prosecution of offenders with a BAC of 0.8 or over would help to eliminate the problem. As it is, repeat offenders get off with a slap on the wrist, a minimal fine and a "don't do it again" warning. Taking the driver's license away just results in someone driving without a license. And now, in states where the use of marijuana has been "legalized", you will have increased problems stemming from drivers who are under the influence of pot.

As an Army brat, I had no hometown, so no hometown experience, like this. We moved to my adopted hometown when I was 8 or 9, but lived on the outskirts of town, not in the hustle and bustle of a street such as this. But I remember walking downtown to shop, to the movie theatre (the best times were for the Midnight movie), to the 7-11 for an Icee, to the city pool and the library. To this day, the smell of paper books takes me back. I grew up surrounded by military men and women, mostly Army and Air Force. As a teenager during VietNam, I have memories of Armed Forces Days and flyovers with the "missing man" formation. Thank you to all who served. Thank you to all who lost a family member in that service. Our hearts are with you as we all remember when. . . .
