I cannot even begin to take these left wing politicians and 'educators' seriously until they start removing non-essential programs and staff from their schools. Not to mention eliminating illegal immigrants from the public school system. There is your savings right there.

Why are there waiting lines of parents waiting to adopt kids? Why are parents wanting to adopt kids having to go over seas in increasing numbers? Being unwanted or unplanned is not a good excuse for murder. Thumb me down all you want. I'll gladly go all the way to negative numbers for kids, born and unborn.

The people get fed up and take any option to reign it under control including giving a party power that may have distasteful aspects to it but is strong on immigration reform. I am all for immigration reform but not any of the racist aspects or reasons. I don't care if your skin is plaid. If you come to this country legally than I am more than happy to have you. Come in as an illegal and you are a criminal and should be treated as such. Get the hell out yesterday.

The government is using sheeple like joemishkin who really think its about hugging trees to further control the population. Ditto with healthcare. In the near future the government will have an employee to spoon feed us all it's special enviro friendly pablum so we dont hurt ourselves with the biodegradable utensil.

I think you are all just afraid that he will be successful at that too. And that would just gall your libtard sensibilities. We have a racist/sexist on the supreme court and that doesnt seem to bother you one bit.

Typical Libtard. No substance, no facts. Just a big mouth, huge nose into everyone elses business and no balls. Luck is not being a left wing mouth breathing socialist spooge.

Made a personal opinion on a public forum. Difference is that he's far better at it than you so he gets paid a lot for it. So yes, everyone who tunes in is entitled to his opinion. Or else they wouldnt tune him in. Get it?

Being in the wilderness is an awsome thing. Being out there alone can be good for the soul. If you take all the millions of individuals who spend some of their time in the sticks alone, those who end up in tragedy are a vastly tiny number. Take reasonable precautions and go enjoy creation. Beats passing away in your lazyboy.

If you cant find one I am sure any 4 year old can point them out to you. Located in large stacks in the exact same place where you purchase said license/tags. That is unless of course you didnt know you needed those either.

Make it one that floats and you have a real pricy rig. Since lives depend on this boat every component will be extra heavy duty. To me it sounds like a reasonable price and the need is demonstrated. I don't often agree with much of government spending but am ok with this.

It's not a good thing but we are human and it happens. Kermit washington almost killed a guy. If I remember correctly he kept his job and turned out to be a pretty decent contributor to society. What if all you people calling for this kids head had your way with Kermit? Probably wouldnt have turned out so well.
