The Constitutionality of Section 1035...and the National Defense Authorization Act

 By RF Schatten We have become a Country without Pity. Acts of shameless indecency, perpetrated by the American Right Wing and it's Mouthpiece, FOXNews...all just for Political Gains, Demagoguery, and Grandstanding. Michael Tomasky wrote; "Let’s face it: There is no question that if President George W. Bush or a President McCain or President Romney had secured Bergdahl’s release, in exchange for five Taliban prisoners at Gitmo, Republicans would be defending the move...all the way!!". Ignored the Law?? Obama acted, as any other conscientious President would have...others, have done it in the past. Sometimes an opportunity rises, to get an American out of harm's way...you take it...and by-pass the 30 days notice!! Usually intelligent people would understand...but, today's not too Loyal Opposition, is not that intelligent...and frankly, they don't give a damn!! You don't negotiate with Terrorists?? Between 2007 and 2009, George W. Bush negotiated ...

Being a proud Liberal

 Be proud of what Liberalism stands for!! We have survived a Great Depression and numerous recessions...because, of 'who' we are!! Who led us into the greatest depression in US History? and who's led us in the highest unemployment rates? Conservatives!!. Who have publicly acknowledged by their words and/or actions, they don't care about the Poor, about the Sick, about the Hungry, about the Elderly, or about the Youth? Conservatives, that's who!! Now, who's led this country out of a depression? and who's led this country, out of our worst recessions? Who cares for the Sick, the Poor, the Hungry, the Elderly, the Young...and the Mothers? Liberals, that's who!! Be proud of being a Liberal, and shout it out loud!! Because of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and other plans implemented...all of us, Liberals, Conservatives, Rich, or Poor...have enjoyed a much finer quality of life, than anyone else in the world!! Conservatives identify Liberal...
