If You Want to Invite Me to A Protest over School...
Simply put, if you are doing it on campus or at a board of ed meeting, you’re doing it wrong.
In California (if not any other state), school boards, community college boards, chancellors, presidents, boards of trustees or regents do not set the state’s budget priorities; the governor and the legislature do. They are the ones who pull the levers on how many teachers are available for...

… imagine a system in which all payments are negotiated, as with a single payer system. Hospitals negotiate an annual global budget. That budget includes their costs of services, such as coronary bypass surgeries, without the need to itemize each single item for the services, nor the need to bundle payments in some sort of pretense that global costs are reduced. The hospital already has...

On December 23, Carlos was involved in a car accident, when by no fault of his own; he was hit by another car.

How Legal Pot Could Save Thousands of Lives? Hint:... →
liberal-linguaphile:
Let’s forget the speculation and get to certainties: what is plain as day is the fact that the demand for cannabis sativa is responsible for more deaths in Mexico than anything else—and after half a decade of unrelenting bloodshed—the body count just recently surpassed the 50,000 mark. Personally, that’s a bitter pill to swallow considering 50 percent of Americans now...

The Citizen Legislature Act: Another Terrible Idea... →
Few things feed fascism like calls for “shrinking government.” This fairy tale about citizen legislators is one of them.
What these ideologues lack is any combination of the intellect or the integrity to tell you that “Smaller Government” has reduced the pool of professionals who know how it works at all. This pool consists of professional legislative analysts who cycle...

More Psalm 109:8 bullshit dredged up by the apostate, deep in the grips of Obama Derangement Syndrome, who call themselves Christian.
When there are so many legitimate issues to criticize President Obama with; I have to ask why is it so hard for right-wing extremists to articulate them? Further, why are these epithets and other nonsense repeated and not denounced by seemingly rational people?
