Best not to question the Government, they know what's best..... |

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. "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..." |

Judged: 1 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. |
