"support for the military is mostly for the cameras and the reporters." Well of course it is! Just like the $1million of his own money (now verified by the media who hate him as much as he hates them) to veteran's groups is just a political ploy! He isn't auditioning for Sainthood! Neither is Hillary. Neither one of them would have a chance! The next five months are going to be unbelievably nasty! We effete 20th and 21st Century political naifs are going to go back over a hundred years into our history and see how much vituperation two political parties and their hired guns can put out. The only difference is the internet and social media is going reach a much larger audience more frequently than the pamphleteers and yellow-dog news papers were ever able to muster in their day. The lies, half-truths and personal attacks by both sides are going to revive and exceed even the salacious reporting of Bill Clinton's sexual escapades.

Those Senators so enamored of the body counting in all of the foreign wars from Vietnam to present seem to disregard home body counts. What is the magic body count number that will activate their collective conscience? The Republican majority claim Christian morality and loyal followers of the Prince of Peace, yet they ignore the slaughter plaguing the nation from within. The sole purpose of the Republican Party and too many Democrats is the complete gridlock of government. This latest deliberate rejection of any action to stem the tide of massive armament distribution within the nation demonstrates just how evil they have all become. Body count doesn't matter to those protected by massive armament and law enforcers. They sit in their Capitol Bunker divorced from the rest of the nation and rejecting all accountability for their actions and non-actions. Disgusting.

You don't understand--advances in Scripture "scholarship" suggest that Jesus never actually uttered that phrase. It was a much later redaction by the early Christian community looking to justify their closed minded patriarchal theology about marriage. (I say sarcastically)

You are exactly correct. Jesus repeatedly told his followers to focus on a small, doctrinally correct church, focused on study of dogma and rules, and not to run off spreading the word to just anyone.

One of the greatest irony is that the first government ministers that the refugee saw where from the Haitian government inviting them to come back.

Whether Clinton holds to the notion that, "a fetus is not a person before birth" is irrelevant. A Catholic understands that human life begins at conception; and for that reason, is compelled to consider the moral implications of supporting a candidate for public office who holds the opposing viewpoint. The death penalty, on the other hand, is not in itself intrinsically morally wrong.

His (Klein) choice of words may have been wrong but I agree that legislators' support of the teachers unions is a setback for all citizens. They do it for the reciprocol support by the unions, each side scratches the others' back, not because it's the right thing to do. NY is famous for its "rubber rooms" where hundreds of teachers, due to misconduct or incompetence, sit daily doing nothing but get paid. How any legislator can be proud to support that is beyond me.

Part 3... Canada needs (and can afford) complete national health care Hospital costs cont'd. The factors that contribute to the rise of hospital costs include: 1) increase in the compensation of hospital health care providers, accounting for 60% of the total hospital budget; 2) increase in the number of hospital workers (between 1999 and 2008, their number grew by 21%, mainly to meet the need for new services; and 3) introduciton of new and expensive diagnostic and surgical tools (e.g., robotic systems hyperbaric surgery); computers, electronic health records and telehealth). The options for containing hospital costs include replacing the current system of hospital budgeting with regional population-based budgeting, as in Alberta & saskatchewan, or paying for services provided on the basis of unit cost.

"Today, more than ever, I am grateful for Canada and what it represents." Hello? Canada represents the most strict and selfish immigration filter in the world, where Ottawa vacuums up as many millionaires, doctors, engineers, nurses, professors and scientists as possible, and it tells the uneducated masses overseas to go suck an egg. When free Hong Kong was about to be taken over by repressive Beijing in the 1980s, Canada's "bright light" (laugh out loud) was to throw a lifeline to all multi-millionaires there, who we rescued with our investor immigrant program, demanding all cash down. We told the lesser, not-filthy-rich inhabitants of Hong Kong to go suck an egg and to fight off the Chinese army tanks with sticks. You have swallowed delusional propaganda with your prattle, and Ottawa would be proud. The reality is that Canada for decades has had the most selfish immigration scheme in the world. We take in smart brains and big wallets. Gee, aren't we nice (laugh out loud).

Great argument Rogue. So when they attack Muslims both physically and verbally we should not call them bigots according to burt. That is just a label I guess.

Would burt therefore have the integrity to say, "hey I guess I was wrong, there are far more far right supporters making spurious labels on here". I think we both know he would not, the cognitive dissonance that would occur in his head would forbid him from doing so. Have no fear burt, I will bring the totals closer in line.

Natural gas shortages in Cook Inlet gave birth to this tax credit problem and has morphed into a long term revenue situation for small producers with little to no guarantees of return on our investment; at a time when oil was selling at 100,00/bbl or better. Many of you may not be aware that there are small producers filing for bankruptcy to get out of various aspects of production such as but not limited to transportation contracts-which includes pipelines. This isn't to say tax credits shouldn't be utilized to spur exploration and production but it shouldn't take 20 years and 70.00/bbl oil to see a return on 700 million in credits; and 850 million in 2018.

Offense: Trevor's limitations were exposed in this game. Trevor plays well under controlled situations..mixture of run and pass. He cannot carry the team if the team falls behind by 10 or more. His arm is mediocre at best. Most of his deep passes (and these are just 40 yard passes) are underthrown. Something has to be done with the OL. Garcia is just bad. Barbre is marginally better. I cannot understand why McGovern is not being given a chance to play. He cannot be any worse. Right Tackle position is a turnstile and Trevor is seeing ghosts. As far as RB, Charles or Booker has to start and get the majority of carries. Tired of seeing CJ getting 1 and 2 yards all the time. Could not punch it in from the half yard line. That was pathetic. No speed at the WR position. McKenzie (our speedster) got hurt. All our WRs are possession receivers. Depressing game and VJ was definitely outcoached.

Missed the point, bub, if you find the US so oppressive, you have the "choice" to look for a better place to live. Or like many Americans, you dig in and work hard to make your life and the country better. And I don't accept your assertion that "the majority says we don't have a choice". I would propose that US citizens are one of the most mobile of any nation in human history...and therefore exercise their choice with few comparisons. Yep, I do call his act a tantrum and I don't view his little tantrum as a valid or effective means to making this country better. Nope, never said that that those who work hard with determination should be thankful to others (but I am thankful to my family and all those who have helped me in many ways over the years). But since you brought it up, I think we should be thankful that we live in a nation that allows those attributes to have the ability to flourish.

"One wonders" is the opening of a rhetorical puff which does not portend well for what follows. In point of fact, there has been francophone Jewish presence in Montreal, especially from North Africa, for at least a century. There has also been the thorny National and other ethnic questions, which will divide any Jewish community. Although Quebec anti-Semitism is diminishing, Peladeau's nationalist think-tank is still named for a notorious anti-Semite, Abbé Groulx, and scads of ultra-Gaulish and extremist movements are active. Multitudes of people are still willing to support Marois' odious Charter of Exclusion, and her ex-Minister of Secularism still promotes it on his shock-radio network. That would kick professors with kippas out of schools, along with their hijabbed and turbaned colleagues. "Secularism" is now a polite word for "looks French." All ethnic nationalism will divide the Montreal Jews to the horror of any Jewish Parisian.

Trudeau is an idiot. I am an East Indian and One of the reasons I love and came to Canada is for its foreword thinking and allowing me to live a better life. My country did a stupid job of that. People come to this country to learn better ways of living and give their children a opportunity for better lives. I sure as hell know and they know that our countries royally screwed it up. So then why, why do women want to lower themselves to cover up their faces when facing the world? Why and what are they ashamed of. Why don’t they offer others the courtesy of allowing them to see their face when they engage in conversation? Why live with rules that date black to ancient times. Are they afraid of there men still.

Lane said in his speech: "Another priority is to make sure that profits, including those derived from IP [intellectual property], can’t be shifted to avoid taxation." Sounds like a plug for Bill Morneau's tax measures to me. It is highly inappropriate for a central banker to weigh in on fiscal policies. The Bank of Canadadi has been disgracefully inactive on all of the things within their control that they might influence: fixing up the CPI excluding indirect taxes, the base for most of their core measures of inflation, getting mortgage interest cost out of the inflation indicator and so forth.

The trouble with making the criminalization of abortion (not just opposition to abortion) the absolute priority is that such a stance requires political organizing and rhetoric. A bloc of activists and voters must be assembled to come within striking distance of a majority. With no other moral priority standing in the way, that bloc can consist of some unsavory characters...and it does. Chaput is completely sincere in his unambiguous denunciation of racism, and he is to be lauded for that sincerity. He may be blind, however, to the people he has perhaps unwittingly courted on his way to getting Gorsuch on the Supreme Court and other efforts to overturn all or parts of Roe v. Wade. This is why Chaput effectively stumped for Trump. Before church leaders embark on a political venture, however pure they might think it is, they must take into account unintended consequences of putting all other moral considerations in the back seat.
