the government is not a single entity. it was the House, controlled by Republicans, where this happened.

At the core is the 1st Amendment the republicans like to spit out for everything. Obvious it's deemed applicable to them only.

The individual involved was on MSNBC this evening.

Point taken, & my original thought was to take my usual left-of-center stance but,
with Obama & the Dems as guilty as the frightwingers of being on the corporate dole
I feel it's only a matter of time before the actions reported in the article are more the norm than an exception.

Republicans charing this committee meeting just violated the Constitution by muzzling the press.

Only a Republican would pull this kind of Fascist Nazi shit.

That's OK, though, it only deepens our resolve to bring fundamental socialist change to America.

Working well in Arizona tonight with the riots going on against High Chancellor Man Sewer's hateful anti-American union rights stripping legislation.

Perry's fine, news in Austin announced another 850 employed. Out of state license plates everywhere, people say they came here and left your useless place for employment.

#1 in Wind Energy Production, Solar Energy Production, job creation in the private sector. EPA's top three cities using green energy, Dallas, Houston and Austin. All done under GOP leadership since we kicked the drunk ann richards out.

Minimum wage workers?? A left socialist propaganda claim. Leader in welfare? California

Hang in there, idiot.

Walker is not in Texas. He's in your state trying to save your sorry ass from bankruptcy! Texas is building two new plants in San Antonio and one north of Houston. Projection: 4500 new jobs.

Funnier than the python story out of floriduh today!

Poverty stricken? You are one stupid anarchist, and they are all stupid.

Texas again has been ranked the top exporting state, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

"Texas' ranking as the nation's top exporter for nine years running is a testament to our strong economy and the importance of upholding low taxes, reasonable regulations, a fair legal system and an equipped workforce," Gov. Rick Perry stated in a news release.

Texas' exports in 2011 totaled more than $206.6 billion, up 26.7 percent from $162.9 billion in 2010. US Dept. of Commerce.

I've proven to you that california is the most polluted according to the EPA. We forgot you can't read!

Oh woe, we is just fkn broke!

The January 12-13 event is hosted by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, the Lone Star State’s leading corporate special interest propaganda organization. Over half of TPPF’s operational funds come from corporate interests and the organization is stocked with corporate lobbyists and former members of Gov. Rick Perry's team. The group appears deeply connected to the American Legislative Exchange Council, going so far as to issue a report titled, "Don't be a Smart-ALEC on Crime: Model Legislation to Enhance Public Safety By Strengthening Community Corrections."

Gov. Walker has passed a number of ALEC’s top policy positions on a range of issues, including anti-public education, anti-corporate accountability, anti-consumer and pro-voter suppression. He has also passed $2.3 billion in new corporate tax breaks and tax breaks for the wealthy while gutting public education, raising student loan debt and preparing to cut 65,000 Wisconsinites, including 29,000 children, from access to health care.

At this point I assumme you spit on homeless people too.
because they "chose" to be homeless.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Pisces

Relationships are kind of shaky under this Lunar Cycle and you may even get the distinct impression you're heading for a major showdown with a certain someone. Although this feels like a crisis, don't let panic or desperation push you into decisions you would normally steer clear of. You may think you've reached the end of the road, but this isn't a good reason to go off the deep end and make drastic decisions. Proceed with caution!
