  1. The assumption is they are doing good to address food born illness. The reality is most people don't care or understand that eating artisan cheese produced in that manner is a risk worth taking. Jensen Farms in Colorado is done after they had the contaminated Melon a few years ago. They followed procedures, did everything they could to keep their product clean and safe. You will likely never have a zero in the food born illness incident rate column. The trick is to take reasonable precautions, educate the public about non-modern production processes, and let them decide.
  2. that's impressive, even for the Horse committee. its funny, it seems ludicrous that securing the border isn't a bipartisan no brainer. Building a gigantic government sponsored wall seems like the Conservative fit of keeping illegals out (upholding the law), and would be a huge jobs program for the unemployed in Texas, AZ, CALI, NM, which he Democrats would get all hot in the ass for. Just another example of where incremental progress coudl be used to achieve a desired end goal. But then again, what the !@#$ do I know?
  3. What kind of retarded Camel do you think the Horse building committee will come up with?
  4. Its !@#$ing embrassing that we have now gone from 2000- 2014, with two sitting Presidents and got ZIP done on immigration. Both said they would be something done, neither have accomplished anything. Hard to have much faith in the Federal Government these days.
  5. I don't think he was suggesting it entirely the fault of the downrodden- what he's getting at is encouraging that segment to make better decision, ie not have kids early, if they do have Dad stick around or not be in jail. His segment was about the Black community, but the premise can be applied across the board- lets say for example very poor white trash. The concepts are the same, family unit, obeying the law, getting and education, putting in the effort and gaining respect and merit in our society. Single Black mother who give a **** get it. Their boys are going to best schools they can get to them to (Look up articles about DC School and Vouocher programs), they make sure their boys don't get into gangs, and sure as heck do their best to make sure their boys don't get some girl knocked up. Its about breakign the cycle, breakign it for good- and THAT is what Obama and Sharpton and other Black leaders should be stressing. Like TYTT said, there will ALWAYS be racism, and bigot and other trash. for the 95% of us don't care and are too busy for that nonesense, we like to see getting past the politics and encourging solutions.
  6. Maybe it's because and olg strodge might DC TOM judges people on merit, versus Race? Just a theory- its what I do.
  7. I would suggets it has improved dramatically. we have a Black President as the topping on the cake, and ask around to kids under 30- they just don't see race as a dividing issues as much as the generation prior. My parents and in-laws remark about the "darkening" of Colorado- my wife and I just see it as Colorado as we know it. time brings progress, it wisdom that lets us leave pettiness behind and accept moving forward.
  8. Yes, of course it is more nuanced than 5 minutes of rant from a talking head. He is essentially calling Black Leaders to the carpet and asking why instead of focusing on stirring up racial tensions, why not push legislation and socliy policy to address these issues? He's calling out leaders in the entertaiment community to challenge the impact of "baller", "killer" gangster portayals of black youth and is it worth glamourizing consider the behavior it suggests? O'Reilly is simply asking the question "why", it is not his role to answer neccesarily.
  9. Not on topic, but this is funny ****- even if it is baseless.
  10. Its hard to argue much of what he said, whether you like O'Reilly or not. It is strange, you never hear Sharpton or Obama talk about the fact that so many Black Children come from broken homes- or address any of the other socio-familial issues that continue to the plight of the Black Community. here a thought: Craft policy and awareness promoting birth control and family planning in the Black community, encourage girls not to have children until they are ready, and encourage Dads to stay in the home... see what happens. Because what we are currently doing is not working. try something different- why is that so hard.
  11. thank QE for that- so, really thank the Federal Reserve. Ironic since big government is allegedly the advoacte for the Main Street....
  12. Why not take surpluses and allocate to pay of LTD? I get why you give it back to taxpayers, if there is no debt or at least until debt is at reasonable levels- at some point it does have to be paid down/ back. To me, it is cut and dry when you go to war, you ask Americans to pay... When you get the perks without ever having to pay, is it any wonder why people don't seem all that worried about 17t and counting? Some do, but most don't care... I have stated this principle before, and new spending is a dollar for dollar equal tax on people... At some point people will finally wake up and really how much the government actually spends in terms of their dollars... Right now it's a large government on a credit card some else is going to pay... Not a bad deal for us today, not so much for those in 50 years... But this low tax fallacy and big spending government by both traditional parties is getting comical. And Tea Partiers are colored as radicals, go figure.... Lol
  13. Bush- - Iraq War- I think that is obvious to just abou everybody- bad stuff, lots of lost lives, expensive as ****. - NCLB- a one size fits all education overhaul that almost all States have abondoned in 2014- I guess this can be seen as an earnest achievement that lacked the efficacy to intitute real change - Medicare Part D- Bush extended an unfunded benefits to Seniors, created the Part D Donut Hole, but in the end it pretty popular program abnd cost less than I think they antipicated - Kyoto Protocol- Bush axed it, the debate will continue whether it was good or bad. - Tax Cuts- I still to this day do not get Tax Cuts when you engage on wars in 2 different fronts. Americans were no asked to pay or sacrifice fiscally for these wars, now they continue to pile up on the Nation Credit Card as we watch LTD rise and debst service eat up more and more of GDP. - Katrina- I cut GWB a little slack on Katrina- unprecendented failure of a levee system that left a whole CITY under water- a whole City- no matter the reponse, it was gonna be get ugly and be unpleasent. To this day, NOLA is still recovering. My hope is we learned from this, as we did in Colorado with Wilfires and Flooding and changes to our disaster response plans and fudning of it. - DOMA- I think Bush signed it. It was bad, it is done.. as a socially conservative, I understand his motivation but it was unrealtisic legislation given the day and age. - Personally, I did well under Bush- I bought real estate early that turned out to be really solid, and overall the economcy seemed OK under his tenure. I didn't hate Bush like some people do- I would have like to seen SS reform he proposed of Immigration reform get done, but oh well. I will post on Obama later.
  14. Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act The state recently amended the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) by passing the Sexual Orientation Employment Discrimination Act (SOEDA). CADA now prohibits discrimination based on a person’s sexual orientation, religion, disability, race, creed, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry. If you sell Wedding Cakes in Colorado, you have to make a gay cake. If you are a atheist Bake Show Owner and make Wedding Cakes, you have to make a Cake for Born Again Xtians. In both cases, the cake owner likely find the content and union offensive. Honestly, everybody gives up a little here. If Free Association is dire of importance, don't get into a business like this I guess.
  15. this made me laugh- in a sad, tragic kind of way
  16. who the !@#$ are you calling "Canadian"?
  17. From the ACA, to Ghazi, to NSA, to IRS, to daily political horseshit.... Who the !@#$ would want that job...
  18. We all know this..... But where else can you go and treat other posters like complete **** like you can here? Honestly, sometimes I don't agree or disagree with a post, I just wanna call someone a retard.... It feels good
  19. Currently trying to determine my level of care...... preliminary results, very low.
  20. Congress certainly didn't have the stomach for Syria.... gassed citizens in Iraq was crime against humanity, gassed Syrians not so much. If there were a legit threat to this country, or a strike against in like 9/11, I have zero doubts the president would act post haste and with striking force.
  21. Made us look weak around world... I don't know, Nation still respect the US miltary might and that will not end any time soon. What I have been most dissappointed with, and what will become our biggest "weakness", is our long-term Financial War on ourselves.
  22. For New Orleans, a switch to a new model post Katrina is the best possible scenario. It appears thay are also on the cusp of breakng down barriers to make sure those schools cannot be segregated on the sly.... for a poor black student mired in the cess of poor performing schools in his neighborhood prior to Katrina, the prospect for better and elevated quality has been delivered- that is real opportunity, and simple what many parents are asking for. I am not sure why places with lowest performning schools would not at least try this... I can't imagine teachers I had growing up would prefer Union stalemate in old system versus the improvememnt of education for each child. But they probably have no choice.
  23. Homsexulaity in Saudi?- punichable by death in the square Drug Use in Saudi?- punishable by death in the square Alcohol Use in Saudi?- punichable by death in the open square United States isn't so bad afterall.
