Steve Schmidt rang the death knell of the Republican Party when, after a cursory Google search, he put an unqualified and unfit Sarah Palin on top of the list of names of McCain's running mate ..and who McCain foolishly and stupidly agreed was his choice for VP of the United State of America.

Spirituality is for those who have been there". | 10 | IMO since the main purpose of religion is to teach “good” values it becomes important that any religious individuals or groups recognize when the same values are shared by nonreligious people. The same is true regarding nonreligious perspective of religious people. It seems, however, religion, despite its inconsistencies, has positioned itself ideologically as a “good” value and teaches that anyone without it is bad or somehow lacking in the ability to have values or be good. As long as that view exists, there will be conflict between both groups which detracts from solving common social problems or challenges. That’s what appears is happening. Based on having a religious affiliation you’re judged either good or bad which couldn’t be further from the truth. Common ground for all people in a society will never be found through religion if it’s ideological values are not applied so that all people feel equally “good”, religious or not. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45450604, 45588938, 45404169, 45589137, 45252698] |

"It’s usually kittens that shed the “toxo,” and only for a week or two."
Neutered feral cats don't have kittens. | 10 | Dr Erica Sox claims that TNR reduces shedding of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. What evidence is there of that? I've never read that in the literature anywhere. Neutering doesn't affect the number of oocysts shed by an infected cat, so far as I know, but perhaps there is new research out on this. The oocysts shed by an infected cat are over a million, so that reduction would have to be significant to make any difference. In lab conditions, a single oocyst can infect a pig, although infecting a marine mammal may be different. As to alternative to TNR, humane euthanasia of feral cats unsuitable for adoption is acceptable to me and many other people, as is mandatory licensing of dogs and cats alike, mandatory neutering prior to the first litter, and requirements to constrain dogs and cats from movement and defecation in watersheds and wildlife areas.

An income tax taxes profits ( income ). This law taxes gross receipts ( sales ), which is far higher than any profit being made..
A Gross Receipts tax is applied to businesses, while, a Sales Tax if collected from the consumer. Either way, the consumer pays.
So all this initiative is trying to do is to trick the people of Oregon into believing that this is not a sales tax, when it really is. It will just be collected from the corporation you are doing business with, and not you. So it will basically be a HIDDEN TAX, that you will not notice.

I think so.
Bill Allen's statements about the illegality of his quid pro quo work on the house he and Ted shared were deemed not credible because, it is claimed, the DOJ used its knowledge about Bill's child sex abuse to coerce him into saying mean things about Ted.
Of all the old men to befriend, to share a home with, to share ownership in a racehorse (Alaska's Great Eagle) with, why did Ted choose Bill?
Having lived my entire life in Alaska I've met and known some incredibly interesting old men who lacked Bill's proclivity -- yet Ted chose him, and him alone, anyway.
It was and remains disgusting. | 10 | To call egregious misconduct a "procedural defect" is a spin straight out of an old Soviet playbook.

My primary experience with blacks has been in the military. Black Sergeants, black officers, black troops.

Sometimes there is 'affirmative action' or favoritism by black mentors, but most of ones I saw had too much personal pride to want something that they hadn't actually earned.
The other soldiers, sergeants ad officers are more likely to enforce the standards which apply to everyone to their black peers. The 'government' sets the standards and the blacks have no more difficulty meeting them than any other group.

Either you're ignorant or being deliberately misleading. Democrats invited Republicans to work on the Affordable Care Act and Republicans said 'no' and pouted instead. Do you not remember John Boehner's "HELL, NO!" speech? Once again, a cynical Republican Party decided that instead of working with Democrats they'd pander to their base, deride the ACA as 'Obamacare', and simply refuse to participate. And that's precisely what they did. There's a reason the Republican Party is known as The Party of No.
It's too bad, too, because they had a real opportunity to do something great. They could have worked toward some sort of compromise and done something to benefit America but instead they decided to play to Palin-America and remain intransigent. | 4 | Not to mention that if Hillary wins and the Democrats take the majority in the Senate, but don't have the 60 votes they need to ignore minority Republicans as they did when they passed ObamaCare, the chances that they'll change Senate rules through the "nuclear option" to confirm SCOTUS nominees with a majority vote are very high.

You're "proud that Trump has refused to renounce David Duke" Renouncing David Duke and the rabid racism he represents is hardly being "the lap dog od the media." It, instead, represents showing at least a modicum of decency and repudiating the values of one of our nation's highest profile racists.
