Excerpt:
But the stigma of being a Democrat in Utah is so strong that the state Democratic chairman, Jim Dabakis, said he recently had this telling encounter: He was in rural Iron County meeting with a small group of Democrats, when a man came up to him after the meeting and mentioned that he was gay. Mr. Dabakis, who is gay himself, said, "That must be tough down here."

The man said that it was, but not for the obvious reason. "I don't tell anyone I'm gay," the man told Mr. Dabakis, "because if I do, they'll know I'm a Democrat."

excerpt:
The White House issued a release today which states that “the declaration builds on resources already deployed by FEMA and makes Federal funding available for certain emergency activities undertaken by the state to prepare for and respond to the storm.” However, the limited declaration does not provide for reimbursement of expenses that the state is taking to prepare for the storm.

Below is the Governor's letter to the federal government:
excerpt:

As of this morning, I have activated 4,126 Louisiana National Guardsmen, an emergency contract for over 300 commercial buses, and over 5,000 shelter spaces to respond to the wide ranging projected path of this storm, move our citizens out of harm's way and provide them with shelter. The school districts in the path of the storm have cancelled school until this dangerous storm passes.

Assault Rape Pregnancies Are Rare

http://www.physiciansforlife.org/content/view/492/26/
excerpt:
Finally, factor in what is certainly one of the most important reasons why a rape victim rarely gets pregnant, and that's psychic trauma. Every woman is aware that stress and emotional factors can alter her menstrual cycle. To get and stay pregnant a woman's body must produce a very sophisticated mix of hormones. Hormone production is controlled by a part of the brain that is easily influenced by emotions. There's no greater emotional trauma that can be experienced by a woman than an assault rape. This can radically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.

Representative Todd Akin on "legitimate rape"

http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/world-affairs/2012/08/
todd-akin-legitimate-rape-quote-day
excerpt:
“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV. “

President O will call a news conference at that time to trump Romneys speech. The purpose of the news conference will be to explain what his administration will be doing to assist in the storm damage.

If not the white house will be releasing press releases thruout the days after Isaac hits landfall on what they will be doing on a continuous basis.

If Reelected, Obama will Destroy 2nd Amendment

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/2012-election/if
-reelected-obama-will-destroy-2nd-amendment

Excerpt:
The first is that Obama, in order to avoid a guaranteed defeat in 2012, has thus far kept his powder dry on gun-related legislation (but not anti-gun regulations and rhetoric). Thus, following the Tucson shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, he gave one speech, but largely bit his lip and retreated into his den.

But when reelection is no longer a consideration, gun licensing, gun bans, and criminalization of gun ownership will once again come to the fore.

FDA approves ella as 5-day-after emergency contraceptive
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/
2010/08/13/AR2010081305098.html

excerpt:
"By misclassifying ella as emergency contraception, this administration has paved the way to covertly allow federal funding for abortion," said Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), who called on Obama to issue an executive order prohibiting federal funds from paying for ella.

excerpt:
"Ella is an abortion drug," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America. "It operates the same way as RU-486, the abortion drug. Many women may be comfortable taking a contraceptive but would object to taking an abortion drug."

Facts Don’t Matter to Media Matters: Ella Drug Causes Abortions
http://www.lifenews.com/2011/08/03/facts-dont-matter
-to-media-matters-ella-drug-causes-abortions/

excerpt:
Media Matters, so focused on spin, has ignored significant facts.  Though the HHS mandate does not include RU-486, it does include the abortion-inducing drug ella.  Though labeled as “emergency contraception,” ella is undeniably a progesterone blocker, just like RU-486.  As the saying goes – a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.  Or, in the present case, abortion drugs by any other name are as objectionable to the consciences of pro-life Americans.

So, no, the ACA is not pro-life on abortion. The paltry “limitations” on abortion in the bill are largely tied to annual appropriations riders that could be eliminated at the whim of a Congress.

excerpt:
The strongly pro-life response of most Americans in preferring to make illegal all or most abortions is nothing new in the CNN poll. In April 2009, CNN showed Americans wanted to prohibit most or all abortions by a 64-34 percentage point margin. The margin was 63-36% in November 2008, 61%-37% in June 2008, 62-36% in October 2007, and 64-34 percent in September 2006.

The Coming Battle of Ideologies
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/08/the_coming
_battle_of_ideologies.html

excerpt: ( bold emphasis by jap69)

Finally, the Obama administration seized upon a landmark 1984 case, Chevron USA v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., in which the Supreme Court held that arguments related to government policy should be settled by legislators and administrators, not judges.  As such, great deference should be accorded administrators (in this court case, the EPA) to reconcile and promulgate policy with the full effect of law when shown to be operating within the general confines of a statute passed by Congress.

Pushing this interpretation to previously untested limits, the Obama administration has, by one estimate, hired over 200,000 people to write and enforce top-down government control of individuals and businesses,

Eugenics in 2010: Obamacare Cost-Cutting Genetic Discrimination
http://xeniacitizenjournal.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/eugenics
-in-2010-obamacare-cost-cutting-genetic-discrimination/

excerpt:

Today, new advances being made with prenatal genetic testing aren’t for the benefit of the family, but for the destruction of the pre-born child within the mother. The ability to diagnose diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis, Down Syndrome, and others while the child is still in the womb means a greater chance a woman will be encouraged and pressured to abort, thus limiting that child’s “burden” on society.

excerpt:
Obamacare as depicted above is a cost-benefit application of Darwin’s survival of the fittest, but one imposed by the socialist state.

Outdated Attacks on Ryan
http://www.factcheck.org/2012/08/outdated-attacks-on-ryan/
excerpt:
The Obama campaign points to old proposals by Rep. Paul Ryan in saying that Mitt Romney would pay “less than 1 percent in taxes” under Ryan’s plan and that seniors would pay $6,000 more for Medicare. Ryan’s 2010 budget proposal would have eliminated capital gains and dividend taxes — which were indeed the bulk of Romney’s tax burden for 2010 — but Ryan dropped that specific measure from subsequent budgets. The Medicare claim, too, pertains to a less generous plan Ryan released last year, not his most recent budget.

excerpt:
Hospitalizations
This bill creates a hospital value-based purchasing program that would provide value-based performance payments to hospitals meeting performance standards for discharges. Each hospital would receive an annual performance score from which performance payments would be based. Performance payments would be funded through reduced hospital diagnosis-related group (DRG) payments. DRG payments will be reduced by 1% in fiscal year 2013, 1.25% in fiscal year 2014, 1.5% in fiscal year 2015, 1.75% in fiscal year 2016, and 2% in fiscal year 2017 and each following fiscal year.

Student Unionism, Why Don’t American Students Strike?
http://studentpower2012.org/student-unionism-why-dont
-american-students-strike/

excerpt:
As a recent graduate and student organizer, I headed north last month to compare notes with my Canadian counterparts.

Average annual tuition in Québec stands at $2,500, dwarfed by America’s average tuition of $12,800 at public institutions and $32,000 at private ones. The average Québec student debt is a mere $13,000 compared with America’s $25,000. And in 2012, 7.2 percent of US college grads were unemployed, beating out Québec’s 6.3 percent.

According to the Associated Press, 53.6 percent of Americans under 26 with a Bachelor’s are jobless or underemployed. That’s 1.5 million people. That could fill a lot of streets.

Students Converge at Obama Office to Reclaim Voice
http://studentpower2012.org/action-press-release/

excerpt:
“You can preach economic growth all day but there are no jobs on a dying planet.

excerpt:
We are now raising our voices to join the rallying cry of student movements across the world, addressing common global grievances, and resisting a system that does not serve the majority of us. Noting that access to higher education has become increasingly out of reach for much of the population due to skyrocketing tuition and burdensome loans, Lainie Rini of Ohio State University compares our education system to a factory: “Our current education system denies anyone but the privileged access to quality education. It is farming students for profit rather than being a space for inquiry and thought.”

excerpt:
The current situation has demonstrated that we cannot passively depend upon our leaders to save our society. We call for American youth to take action much like students across the globe in places like Quebec, Mexico, Chile, Spain, and Puerto Rico, who are mobilizing to demand their rights. Democracy cannot exist without demonstration and debate in public spaces.

excerpt:

House Republicans took offense to his assertions, saying the "Democratic-controlled Senate left town for August without taking action on a drought aid bill that passed the House with bipartisan support, including the support of Chairman Ryan.
"The weak attempt by the White House to manufacture a controversy illustrates the president’s desperation to change the subject to anything other than his failures on jobs and the economy," said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner.

Meanwhile, on the House floor last week, Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee compared Palin to Pontius Pilate — and Obama to Jesus. Cohen said: “Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Yes, who can forget the Biblical account of how Jesus got the homeless Samaritan to register as a Democrat in exchange for a carton of smokes!

Eight 9-11 Hijackers Were Registered to Vote: Will MSM 'Drive' Story?

FUND: Here's the thing. An immigration investigation by the federal government found 4,000 probable illegal voters in that race. It was decided by less than 1,000 votes. Eight of the 9-11 hijackers, eight of the 19 hijackers, were registered to vote -- because they'd gotten driver's licenses.

THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, HISTORY OF OUTSOURCING American JOBS AND THE PLAN OF NAFTA..HAIL MARY..!
http://www.tcunation.com/profiles/blogs/the-unconstitutional
-history?xg_source=activity

excerpt:
Tariffs were originally set up to help protect American industries by Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. We need tariffs again to help rebuild our nation's industries. Our industries, assets, resources, and companies need to be protected from foreign countries and corporations seeking to gain control of key industrial processes and technologies. This would include preventing the sale of strategic US domestic companies to foreigners and eliminating offshore outsourcing.

I remember when this all started back in the 60s.

This country has lost ground on the war on poverty.

Thought I seen where politicians say they want to take us back to the 1950s.

Beam me back in time Scotty. I will take the 1950s on an economic standpoint any day of the week.

We hoped America would remember the advice of legal scholar Felix Cohen, who said the American Indian is the miner's canary for the United States and the general condition of freedom and liberty for America as a whole could be measured by its treatment of Indians. That reflection by Americans has not happened. Instead, American Indian policy has now become general American policy. Look around you.
