Marty. Look I don't give a shit about correcting someone's grammar. I'm as bad as anyone.
I just thought it was hilarious that you told me to "except the facts". Given Trumps recent public statements and tweets where the facts are pretty lacking. I guess you have absolutely no sense of humor and cannot laugh at yourself. Too bad...you must be a pain to hang out with!
I'll call the ACA what I should call it since it's what it is called in all of the documents we deal with. Sorry, if somehow this offends you..
You need to chill...and BTW I'm a registered Republican. You're correct...my party is in the toilet. |

More news for those that spend their days in the liberal fog. This was yesterday and apparently it went past most of you. |
ya isn't it great they can just accidentally spill in the rivers and have no repercussions for it like the last one where they did have to pay for it. Now the taxpayers have to eat the costs again for the corporations, another corporate handout. . _________________ when good people stay silent the right wing are the only ones heard. |

Republicans are far from being in the toilet, you sound like senile John McCain. |

"The left hates every form of energy we have but offers only scare tactics, and far fetched, unrealistic solutions."
mat-ty, the idea that the left hates energy producers is a specious argument. Based on my history posting here, I don't think that you can support the fact that I'm against any of the major energy producers. That said, I'm definitely strong on measurable performance requirements. Tight and very stringent regulations are critical, and when you think about it, that kind of environment creates high level quality jobs for the future. That's what we need to invest in.
Let's not be foolish. Going back to the past isn't a realistic option. Innovation is our future. Of course, that's not easy. Caving to industry and profit is total BS, especially if much of it is targeted towards exports. Selling off you natural resources is not really moving into the future for the long run. |

These tens of thousands of "rules" implemented by unelected bureaucrats have very little or no effect on our environment. I've personally been negatively effected by the idiotic minutia. These so called rules protect very little but cost hundreds of millions of dollars in lost income. Income that could create meaningful jobs and a vibrant economy. |

No big surprise here, in fact what took them so long to expose this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obama-linked activists have a ‘training manual’ for protesting Trump
By Paul Sperry
February 18, 2017
An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.
Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall.
In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”
*snip*
As The Post reported, OFA boasts more than 250 offices nationwide and more than 32,000 organizers, with another 25,000 actively under training. Since November, it’s beefed up staff and fundraising, though as a “social welfare” non-profit, it does not have to reveal its donors.
These aren’t typical Black Lives Matter or Occupy Wall Street marchers, but rather professionally trained organizers who go through a six-week training program similar to the training — steeped in Alinsky agitation tactics — Obama received in Chicago when he was a community organizer.
Chicago socialist Saul Alinsky, known by the left as “the father of community organizing,” taught radicals to “rub raw the sores of discontent” and create the conditions for a “revolution.” He dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals,” to “Lucifer.” Michelle Obama quoted from the book when she helped launch OFA in 2013.
Obama appears to be behind the anti-Trump protests. He praised recent demonstrations against Trump’s travel ban. And last year, after Trump’s upset victory, he personally rallied OFA troops to “protect” his legacy in a conference call. “Now is the time for some organizing,” he said. “So don’t mope” over the election results.
He promised OFA activists he would soon join them in the fray.

Perhaps you righties have forgotten about ALEC? And you think the millions of people who participated in over 600 anti-Trump rallies were all paid by Soros? Pathetic. |
