8512/Private Prisons Spend $45 Million Lobbying, Rake in $5.1 Billion for Immigrant Detention Alone "Nearly half of all immigrants run by private prison companies, cost is $166 a night

Fox "news" is not news. It is the propaganda arm of the Republican
party. It caters to the uneducated and malleable with lies and
distortions. It should be taken off the air for the slander it has
perpetrated. It has also hurt its viewers by standing in the way of the
truth fb/Accounts of Syria Rebels Executing Prisoners Raise New Human

list my complete philosophical view of the entire universe on a bumper
sticker. I am willing and have the means to kill you over my religious
beliefs, even if I can't prove they are true-How about a Bible passage
supporting post-birth abortion? That is, the deliberate killing of a baby
born alive after a botched abortion. It would be hard to find any
religion that supports it, but Obama does, though pretending to be a
Christian- dude the bible has god killing many babies. maybe you should

Mystic River in Boston and Romney was running for governor. He joked that
he kept thinking "he's too handsome to be governor, but he does look like
he could be president." The staunch Republican created a bit of confusion

men/numbers only tell one story: Middle-class families with children will
pay an average of $2,000 more in taxes under Romney. multi millionaires
would see an average $250,000 tax cut. Obama is working to extend the
middle-class tax cuts worth $2,220 a year to a typical family. But Mitt
Romney and his allies in Congress oppose these tax cuts unless they are
attached to even more large tax cuts for the most fortunate families,
putting the middle class at risk of another tax increase at the end of
this year. The Romney campaign disputes this new nonpartisan report
fb/Claims from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac represented a little less than
half of the total. Claims from private investors that bought loans from
the bank also jumped. The bank's executives have cautioned that the $22.7
billion in claims does not represent potential losses for the bank but
simply the unpaid balances of the loans in question. Those loans are
backed by collateral, and in settlement agreements the bank has typically
paid pennies on the dollar of actual losses Bank of America has about $16
billion in reserves set aside for these claims, which include money to
cover an $8.5 billion settlement reached in 2011 with private investors
that bought securities backed by Countrywide loans. That agreement still
needs court approval.msn/modification programs could charitably be termed
timid, incremental, and largely ineffectual. One in five mortgage
borrowers owe more than their homes are worth, the same level as when
Obama came into office. Many still pay high interest rates because they
can’t refinance bw/The president’s sermon struck a nerve in part because
it marked a sharp departure from the traditional Democratic criticism of
financiers and big corporations. Josh Barro, “You don’t have to make over
$250,000 a year to be annoyed when the president mocks people for taking
credit for their achievements-there is some truth to "yes, you have been
successful, a lot of people and circumstances have contributed to your
success". There is a big benefit to being a country where police is
keeping the order-Far from dissolving into anarchy, American government
under these conditions could become as oppressive as any cruel European
monarchy. Americans would end up having equality through slavery-“we can
tax you because you didn’t deserve this anyway-apathy of his most ardent
supporters has everything to do with the President's policies,
notwithstanding President Bush, the only Congress to have used
obstructionist tactics, Europe, Japan, tsunamis, inherited recessions and
all the other straw men being put forth to distract agitated voters. The
jobless even include Democrats who are fighting for their survival and
are beginning to realize that any alternative is an improvement-Religious
folks can and generally do concern themselves with "this-worldly"
affairs, now, during teh "enlightenment" and before-He wasn't dissing
small businessmen at all: he was standing up for them-This is why Obama's
presence in the White House continues to discourage creation of wealth
and jobs-When you have to explain/justify something at such length, the
overwhelming likelihood is that you are obscuring rather than
enlightening. the same totalitarian mentality that asserts that by
allowing citizens to keep *their* earnings, the government is somehow
doing them a favor-Obama is clearly mocking the successful. Something
he's done relentlessly since being elected. The transformation he keeps
talking about is taking the wealth earned by risk takers and handing it
to the have nots-By continuing to fuel their motivation to vote AGAINST
Obama, and what better way to do that then to keep drilling, drilling,
drilling away at this ludicrous idea that Obama's statement was some sort
of accidental peek-a-boo into his secret Marxist agenda, the reason
this story is still being pimped is because it's part of a loss
minimization strategy, and Postrel is simply doing her bit as a paid
shill for the oligarchy-His point is that "We" is really first person
"singular" as in the Government build it-construction of public highways
is one of the most socialistic endeavers in which the U.S. engages-sure
spends a lot of time explaining what he meant to say. The tone of that
speech was sneering.  To have to listen to a man with zero business
experience admonish successful business people explains a great deal
about our current economic situation-Comrad Obama and the left in general
have absolutely no idea of what it takes to start with an idea and then
build a business.  To quit your job, mortgage your house, and put your
children's future at risk for a dream of creating an enterprise, is
something for which there is no concept in the leftist repertoire of
despair.  Obama, himself never having accomplished anything-I’m always
struck by people, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are
a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than
everybody else-as a business owner I was well aware of what he meant. You
all only make yourselves more absurd by trying to deny the obvious-It's
fine if you don't like Obama, but just own up to it. Your attempt to
change the meaning of what Obama meant so that you can justify your
irrational anger is pathetic-really glad that there aren't fascist
systems that give government loans to small businesses in the USA.
Imagine what our world would be like if people weren't expected to build
everything by hand from whole cloth!  It would be terrifying!  I truly
admire all of the people like * who never had to rely on anyone else
in their whole lives.  Truly, these are the inheritors of the brave
pioneers who never received land grants or protection from the horrible
oppressive government of the USA.  Carry on!  You make us all proud-You
sir are obviously a ... Progressive! Close minded and not very bright,
but self righteous and arrogant in holding unto your discredited ,
specious beliefs-you need look no further than Solyndra for an example-
blindly defending a comment that is indefensible-quit blindly attacking a
speech that means the opposite of what you say it means. That, or admit
you're a Koch-do watch the entire speech, and appreciate how it has been
re-edited for improper context, you can't help but think how desperate,
vile and worthless Romney's people are-ATTITUDE comes in to play----if
your attitude is that government made you successful---you are drunk on
the socialistic Kool-aid!-taxes of the producers NOT the parasites.  And
everybody has access to it, but only the smart, innovative, hard-working,
self-sacrificing, risk-takers made it productive and contributed to the
greater prosperity of America-he declared about twenty million dollars.
If all of that was capital gains, he only paid $3,000,000 in federal
income tax-The left is claiming it's a fake controversy because it blew
up in Obama's face.  The qualifications and full context of his speech
makes Obama's statements even worse-Republicans snatch a sentence
fragment out of context and deliberately distort its meaning; the big GOP
Noise Machine swings into action, their presidential candidate repeats
the lie over and over again-Nonsense. He expressed a very traditional
commonwealth ideal that until recently nobody but lunatics would object
to: that we're all in it together, that we do better by pulling together,
and that those who've benefited materially from society's investments
need to (a) admit that, rather than pretending they're an island and owe
nothing to anybody; and (b) give something back, it goes back to
Aristotle. The reason it inflamed the FauxRage is simple: GOP
spinmeisters decided it was grist for their Obama-hate mill. The rubes,
as always, swallowed it hook line and sinker. nobody raised any
objections about this speech initially; it was only after the Noise
Machine got programmed and turned on that Republicans around the US
suddenly decided to misinterpret Obama's statement and treat it as an
insult to business owners. That fact is undeniably relevant to
interpreting what you and other conservatives claim you believe in your
souls about Obama-liberals don't believe that being successful requires
special skills. They don't mind a guy getting paid $25,000,000 to hit a
baseball because that takes "skill" but they don't see how starting a
business out of one's garage and turning it into a multi-billion dollar
business takes any skill. That's what Obama's speech did is finally
reveal the attitude of liberals to all of us who own a business or have
worked are way from the bottom up. And that attitude will cost Obama and
lots of D's the election in a few months-No Big Boy Pants for Banks That
Whine Over Rules-simple answer to the whining is "Why does it cost extra
to have the information on tap showing you aren't a fraud?"  We shouldn't
have to explain that to a guy who collects a big salary because he is
smart. Jamie Dimon doesn't seem to get it, why does anybody invest in his
"bank"?  Investors need to get hardball with their investments.  How
pension funds invest and vote on executive salaries needs to be made
public information, easily accessible.  JP Morgan would be worthless
tomorrow if anybody demanded to see how many Brooklyn Bridges they have
in their derivative book-key part of the problem that what we "should do"
moral objectives  is most commonly defined solely in terms of
maximum monetary profit.  "The pursuit of happiness" is considered
effectively identical to "pursuit of profit", because more surplus does
allow more satisfaction-Break up the Big Banks and send the Financial
Big Guys who are ruining the USA to jail.  Lord Bank-Fine, Dimon, Corzine
are Banksters who should be investigated-two different legal systems: one
for the common man and one for the 'untouchables'.  If someone in
Anytown, USA was found to have donated a few hundred dollars to some
Islamic charity with reputed ties to terrorist groups, that individual
could face many years behind bars and would at least find life as he knew
it, ruined, let it be discovered that a major financial institution
laundered large sums of money for criminal activities and named terrorist
organizations and the punishment is a relatively small fine and a slap on
the wrist. No one does the perp walk and any officer who might resign as
a result of airing the issue, usually walks away with generous
compensation. Anyone else see something wrong here?-bb/McCain stated last

outrageous," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "The photograph of

Harris, praising today's remarks by Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, and by

1r.z♫æli leaders to speak out and take appropriate action against

told Hatewatch today when asked if the church was seeking to advertise on
“The Rush Limbaugh Show.” “We’re preparing our first ad at this very
moment, and we’ll have a 30-second radio spot ready to go by Friday.
Westboro sees a natural affinity with Limbaugh, Drain said, but the first
ad won’t mention those commonalities. “The ad’s message will be that
America is doomed because Americans have cast aside the standards of God,
and won’t quit their proud sinning,” Westboro also agrees with Limbaugh’s
remarks about Fluke, Drain said, and will attempt to impart that message in
the church’s second radio advertisement. “That lady basically believes she
wants the government to pay to kill her babies,’’ Drain said in comments
that closely resembled those delivered earlier by Limbaugh. “That implies a
certain level of promiscuity. She wants to fornicate her brains out, but
she doesn’t want a child. Sounds like a slut to me, and God hates sluts.” -

22612/Why is "'evolution" perceived to be necessarily good or right?
It doesn't really have anything to do with taxes. Evolution's "survival of
the fittest" is not a moral imperative intended for sociology or economics
or law, it is an observation about the natural world for explaining
phenomena in biology (and to some extent sociology and psychology). who
would want to live in a world like that? Is that the ideal we should be
striving to? That the strongest should "survive" and everyone else can go
to hell? (ignoring the fact that the strongest typically means the
cruelest, the most-power hungry, the most evil people will seize and secure
power and resources). People should keep scientific concepts that they
don't understand out of politics and economics Carl Sagan's definition of
Science as being two key things: (1) a body of knowledge, and (2) a way of
thinking...it's not science if it doesn't have both ingredients/scientific
education ought to mean the implanting of a rational, sceptical,
experimental habit of mind. It ought to mean acquiring a method — a method
that can be used on any problem that one meets — and not simply piling up a
lot of facts. Put it in those words, and the apologist of scientific
education will usually agree. Press him further, ask him to particularize,
and somehow it always turns out that scientific education means more
attention to the sciences, in other words — more facts. The idea that
science means a way of looking at the world, and not simply a body of
knowledge, is in practice strongly resisted. I think sheer professional
jealousy is part of the reason for this. For if science is simply a method
or an attitude, so that anyone whose thought-processes are sufficiently
rational can in some sense be described as a scientist — what then becomes
of the enormous prestige now enjoyed by the chemist, the physicist, etc.

Usually being a serial liar isn't a criminal matter, but the falsehood
Alvarez told about winning the Medal of Honor got him into serious trouble
because it violated the Stolen Valor Act, which Congress passed in 2006 to
bar people from falsely claiming to have won military honors. Someone gave
a tape of the meeting Alvarez had attended to the FBI, and Alvarez
eventually pleaded guilty. Now he is challenging the law on the grounds
that it violates First Amendment guarantees of free speech. The Supreme
Court hears his case today. Protecting the free speech of repulsive
defendants — Nazis determined to march in an Illinois neighborhood where
Holocaust survivors lived, protesters who loudly defame soldiers near
military funerals, the makers of animal snuff movies — is always difficult.
But the alternative is to allow the government to more broadly define what
people can say, an extremely troubling notion, both for the public and for
the court, which ruled in favor of the Nazis, the funeral protesters and
the snuff movie producers. Thanks to tools, fraudsters are frequently outed
by veterans' groups, the news media or other medal winners. The result is
public disgrace. newspapers repeatedly run lies, denial of the lie and
eventual confession. It was a politician's nightmare, and a lesson in

The Constitution even further with stupid laws like this one-not sure if
something like that should be criminal even though it is shameful-If lying
were illegal, most people would be locked up. All politicians would get
