It would appear a workable solution has been found to this problem in Clay County. It seems a shame that a small group of folks who are against religion or at least appear to be stopping another group from practicing their freedom of religion. I truly do not believe our religious freedom was ever meant to have some of the constraints on it that non religious zeolots which to impose on this issue. What's your opinion?…
This is much ado about nothing, but it was interesting to see all the discussion about what the constitution actually said about religion and the forced establishment of same. Mayor Brown from my perspective has done nothing wrong at all, and kados to him for a "sold out house". Let those who are not happy about this stay home..............and since there aren't any seats left for them anyway, they shouldn't worry about…
What are these folks thinking of? They are violating federal law as our representatives and at our jeopardy. We will be held accountable for the money spent that is seen in violation..............?#!?/
I did a double take too! This is unreal. So many Americans don't have jobs and he is down in Kenya helping their economy.............and trying to improve things. I am having a hard time being charitable about this, since we have folks who have lost their homes, their jobs, in some cases, their families and with gas prices, if they still have a job and home, it is getting harder and harder to just put food on the table. And his highness is doing this!…
4-19-12 Today's "lunch bunch" began with Andy describing his experience of setting up a table to register voters at the Ramona Flea Market this past Saturday. Don't worry, he knows "the Rules" about not mentioning candidates or promoting "a particular Party"! He found that interested and "like-minded" people were friendly and the others just stayed away. Of interest is that several people mentioned to him that they had already sent in a registration to register Republican but have not…
This is amazing, and ruins our health care system to boot. There is a huge amount of information on Heritage about the costs of health care and all the new taxes and penalties. As pointed out in the article, these are only 10 of the 18 new taxes which will take place between 2010 and 2019. Follow the link at the bottom of the article for more information.…
This is an ongoing saga, and never ending. Yet another "green" boon doggle with tax payer money for jobs in, of all places, Finland. That will do all those unemployed Americans a lot of good now, won't it.
And we are all in this mess. Monsanto is putting genetically modified foods in the markets for us to buy and NOT labeling them for what they are. Vermont and some other states want to force labeling that is accurate so they know what they are buying, and our federal government will probably support Monsanto if they sue the state for passing a bill requiring labeling. This is horrendous, and Monsanto has too long run rough shawed over Americans (while other countries won't even…
4-17-12 There is a section on this website where all the groups are listed along with the number of members in each group. For this group the number is 35. It was disheartening tonight to have a new member come to the meeting and find only 4 other people in attendance! He stayed but will he be back? Will he bring along a friend or neighbor? Why were there so few people? Are people bored with the meetings?
The meetings are not for the purpose of entertainment! The group…
(Editor: Angry Tampa residents and parents of children in Hillsborough schools have been fighting to keep CAIR representatives, an organization known to the FBI, and the CIA as an Islamic terror front group, from speaking in Hillsborough schools. After four School Board meetings, the Hillsborough School board still refuses to acknowledge the fact that CAIR is a tainted terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our…
You know what? I am so sick of this foolishness of comparing oneself with others in an effort to make it look like you are doing someone a favor when you raise their taxes, because they really are getting a "good deal". What world do these lunatics come from anyway? If you raise my taxes, I take it personally, and I don't care what someone in another town pays.................I am focused on what I am being fleeced for given some of the foolishness these elected…
This is a response to an article from earlier this week about the parks closing earlier than usual at this time of year. The situation has been resolved.
Although I applaud the governor for helping fund the project to keep the St. Johns restoration going, isn't this called an ear mark when Mr. Thrasher bends the governor's ear about it? Just asking as it seems to me when one touts getting something like this put in the budget, it is an ear mark (used to make Thrasher look good). …
Recommend you read this as it will give you chills. This is a program that apparently has not been run properly from the start and didn't even have "a proper curriculum". More money flushed without even a plan or accountability apparently. Getting a new leader is only a solution if what is wrong to start with is fixed too!
I am not sure how to feel about this as these incentives have replaced property tax breaks and other incentives that used to be used............somehow, I never really thought about using incentives all that much until we began to see the actual price tag in tax dollars coming out of our pockets. And now, it is major. You thoughts?
Several very interesting explanations about what happened are included in the comments on this article, and you may wish to read them. Several folks who actually have expertise in this area have made some very good explanations. I personally have some concern that this may be a reoccurring happening as more testing is done and doesn't speak well for the quality of the work.............but maybe not.…
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
