@ppensyl: first off i'm old school and use magnesium lighters for most fires just to keep in practice and it is just as easy ... but my point was i have the right to remove them IF i feel the need ... and second my avatar photo is the standard atheist symbol and while i have zero problem with a person having different beliefs , i do however when they try to have me live by thier beliefs ...

[quote][b]shawn706[/b] - Closing to many loopholes while keeping the ridiculously high tax rate will just cause companies such as Apple to move the entire business overseas. Who can blame anyone for trying to keep as much of their hard earned money as they can.
[/quote]

what a crock of crap ... these are just other repubatard " talking points " just like the BS about how higher taxes are job killing ...

what we should do is close ALL loopholes and raise the import tax to the same level as the export ... AND set the corporate/ investment tax rates at the same level for working class people ... equal rights , so why not equal tax rates ...

and as for apple and others moving overseas let them and then do something patriotic for your country and buy american ... americans are apple's best customers if we stop buying thier crap who else would ???

[quote][b]Long Sufferer[/b] - Oh unpatriotic one... there are still a few kool-aid drinkers like yourself left out there but your and the other few's minority status is truly insured for some time yet.

boo hoo hoo ... did that bad man hurt your feelings ??? i don't care the truth is the truth ... like it or not ... it is still the truth ...

He added he wasn’t sure of the response from visitors, saying “If they want to put it there, I can’t guarantee its safety.”

well now i know i can't be charged for using them to start my grill with instead of lighter fluid ...

the teabaggers always have and always will care only about thier vision of how america should return to the 17th century ... as for " thier " fellow man ... those that don't think or act just as they do well then THEY are unamerican ... stupid bigots nothing more , nothing less either ...

@Long Sufferer: damn the last time i checked i was white ... lets see ... yep i'm white and wouldn't vote for ANY member of the repubatard party of racist old white people ...

what is the sad part in ALL of this is the repubatard party redrawing the districts to defeat barrow and he still wins in spite of thier " best " efforts ...

and you that say you are not racist i say if you support a party of such then you ARE guilty ...

what a joke just like thier brain dead supporters ...just too funny watching the party of old racist white people running around like scared chickens about to loose thier heads ...

i got an idea ... why don't you people " rise up " and take the government back like you are stupid enough to even think you would have a chance to do ...

here is the sad part i think some of you might even try ...

as par for the course the " believe anything faux news and other kool-aide drunk nuts will tell you " crew is already on here in FULL DENIAL of the truth that nothing short of not being there would have stop this from happening ...

You misspelled "Mormons". I'm visiting Utah this summer. Do you live in Ogden?
[/quote]

nope spelled it just they way it needed to be ... MORONS and if you don't know what that spells then ... here is your sign ..

@Willow: this is my issue ... setting aside the " separation of church and state arguments " ...

the christain religion not only HAS been the largest terrorist group on the planet ... being responsible for more deaths in the name of thier supposed god than ALL others religions combined ... they STILL pursue the exact same agenda today ...

and in NO way am i saying that the muslim radicals are any better just that why should we allow ANY religion to promote thier beliefs on government ( aka ) taxpayer property ... that is what they build those million dollar temples for right ??? that way IF i wish to see thier dog and pony show i can just go there ...

[quote][b]woofie11[/b] - I'm personally sick of Atheists myself.
[/quote]

you know i was tolerant of the stupidity that religions are based on til i realized it has become a war ... science against stupidity and we must end the stupidity before it ends us ...

as for you and EVERYONE that would think like you ... here is a question ... if when you die you go to be with this supposed god of your's why keep living ??? why not end it all right now so you can be with your god that you claim to believe in so much ???

christains ... if not for the ruin they are bringing to this great nation it would be funny as all get out ...

okay ... just for the morons which in this case covers MOST people in this state ... remember that the ten commandments were removed from all government buildings ??? why ??? because the government can not show a preference of one religion over another ... you backwoods nuts really should try some book learning that comes from some place other than your fairy tale the bible ...

the bibles need to go and keep ALL religious text out of government buildings ... and as for the crap about the fact that the state didn't pay for them is a none issue ...

so sad to read the misled beliefs posted on here if any of you knew what " wagging the dog " means then you would see through the BS here ... this is ALL political mudslinging for 2016 and NOTHING else ... if you are too stupid or shortsighted to see this then there is NO help for you ... no matter which party you support ... as for the people that died ... yes it is sad that it happened but that is part of the job , they knew the risk and went anyway ... that is what it means to serve and protect this nation so the rest of you can go about your lives none the wiser ...

and sinkhole season has come the athens ... wonder if it is the planet's way of saying up your's ???

when you have nothing else ... start a witch hunt and that is all this is ... and a big waste of tax payer money ...

[quote][b]TeeWee[/b] - @Ben Had:
Witch Hunt? Four Americans, one a diplomat died and the Administration lied? Dosen't this concern you? One of the whistle blowers are career foreign service officers, one of them is a stanch Democrat and voted for the the President. Now we know the IRS was used as a political tool to target conservative groups. There is also new information that Chevrolet Dealers who were closed when the Government took over GM were operated by owners identified as Republicans. Many Democrats also favor an investogaton, the most notable is Difi. We have not seen such a budding scandal of government abuse since Richard Nixon. I favor an investigation because an investigation will prove the facts.

where was all this when the repubatards were in office letting americans get killed ??? and how about the TRILLIONS in debt the the repubatard party ran up and now wants to act like Obama did it ...

this isn't the 19th century you can't just post whatever you want and not expect people to be able to check your facts or in this case the lack there of ...

[quote][b]cyou299[/b] - [/quote]

what else need be said ??? it is a witch hunt to TRY to keep hillary out of office in 2016 nothing more and about up to speed for the repubatard party ... always blame everyone else for thier own screwups ... why don't you rightwingers try some facts ... just for once as i know your brains are not hardwired to understand such and too many facts all at once would cause an overload ...

how does one join the repubatard party ??? declare that you are a braindead moron and that way you fit in with the rest of the party of hypocrisy...

got to ask what about his first amendment rights ??? if you don't like what is inscribed don't look ... that simple ... so IF i intended to get buried and wanted an atheist quote on my grave that went against the care takers beliefs guess i would get the same treatment ... what a crock of crap ...

just ANOTHER strike against the caveman belief system at work here ... AKA ... religion ...

just another nut on the far right and the truth will come out he is no better than paul broun so in other words a perfect match for the repubatards here in the good ole 10th ...

[quote][b]ProudSoutherner[/b] - @EducateGeorgia: You should not be so intolerant of my faith.
[/quote]

so we should act in the same manner that christains do ??? christain way of life = kill or destroy the way of life for anyone that disagrees with them or will not convert to thier beliefs ...
after all the people the christains have killed in the name of some fairytale god that doesn't exist ...

the fact that anyone would still believe ANYTHING said by a christain that person would have to be a bigger fool than the christain telling the lies ... you can't hate my post all you want BUT everything i have posted is completely true ...

here is a question ... why are the 2 largest religions also the most violent and yet they both claim to worship the same god ???

a few simple points here ... first these would be the same nuts crying about abortions being murder but it is okay to kill a LIVING child ... second and maybe even more important science by its very nature proves that there is no god just man's caveman mentality that refuses to accept such ... just as there is no santa , easter bunny , great pumpkin , fairies or ANY OTHER fictitious characters ...

these people are child murdering sum and NOTHING else ...

[quote][b]woofie11[/b] - @thepatrioticsob:
What is your definition of rich? Let's start there before we go any further.
[/quote]

good question that can be debated ... MY thought would be anyone with a NET worth of more than say 5 million ...

place the blame where it belongs ... on the house of reps for failing to pass a RATIONAL budget ... we have so many things in this country falling apart at the seems and they refuse to act ... and keep crying about job killing taxes ... and you fools fall for it ... taxes DON"T kill jobs but instead creates them ... that is right ... a rich person only spends about 5-10 % of thier income IF that where as the working class spends almost thier entire income thus rolling it back into the economy ...and it is these same working class people that are responsible for almost all new jobs being created ... the rich just want tax havens and are the real entitled class and drain on the country ... this goes for companies and individuals as well ...

[quote][b]Farmer GA[/b] -
You are correct, it is supposed to be changed. The problem is that, in many cases it has been ignored. If we want to do something, as a nation, that is not enumerated in the Constitution, we must amend the document, not ignore it, or, twist it.
[/quote]

you just need to except the fact that not every law passed will be to your liking ... as for the process by which those laws are past i blame the rich and thier lobbying of " buying " our government for thier own gain ... you want to fix the process get the rich lobbying cesspool out of the government ... judge those that are guilty and publicly execute them as an example to ALL that would follow in thier footsteps ...

we need to fix this problem now while we MAY still have the ability to do so ...

[quote][b]Farmer GA[/b] -
But, our Constitution was written to LIMIT what the government does. That fact has been ignored, by the Federal Government, for the past 100 years or so.
[/quote]

okay farmer just because you do make sense ... sometimes ... but NOT this time ...

the constitution was written with the intent that it would change based on the changes " needs " in the world we live in ...by your statement we should also go back to giving convicts a horse , 20 dollar gold piece and a 3030 when released from prison ... or some other out of date practices ...
gay marriage is another ...the civil rights issues ... women's rights ... all these thing were made possible through CHANGES made in the constitution as our forefathers intended ...

maybe you should read and TRY to understand the constitution as a whole not just some short excerpt ...
