Bus tour to oust gay marriage decision judge makes stop in Johnson County today - The D... - 3 views

  •  
    I'm glad that an organization like the Iowa Bar Association is standing up for Justice Wiggins and trying to inform people what a retention vote really should be about. It makes me wonder if the US Supreme Court would have made any of their unpopular decisions if they were to be put up for a retention election. I also commend Justice Wiggins and the other three Justices who where voted out last time for choosing not to campaign and keeping politics out of the judicial system as much as they can. I plan on voting to retain Justice Wiggins because I don't believe that he has done anything to lose his position as a Supreme Court Justice.

    According to CRP executive director Sheila Krumholz, they need all that money to be able to "run financially viable campaigns". It seems like elections are all congress and all other politicians care about.

  •  
    Well then, If it started that way, why would we change it? That's like changing McDonald's from fast food to a fancy italian resturant
  •  
    It is interesting that the pledge has been changed before... the "under God" part wasnt added until the 1950's http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm
  •  
    I don't think its discrimination. Because it's saying that God doesn't love gay people but that's quite opposite. Well that's what I believe anyway. I think we should leave the pledge the way it is because of tradition.
  •  
    america isn't all forced religion country so i can see why under god could upset people but it isn't that big of a deal
  •  
    It shouldn't matter that is not "forcing a religion" on to someone. Kids don't really think about the meaning of words that they repeat everyday.
  •  
    i think its unnecessary to change it because its a free counrty you dont even have to say the pledge, also it doesnt say a certain god, just gid so that can mean any god you believe in
  •  
    Why?!! Neext thing you know they will wanna take the In God we trust off the money!!

    "A group of legislators in Maryland has introduced legislation that would deny state support to federal agencies engaged in warrantless electronic surveillance in a move aimed at curtailing the National Security Agency's power to monitor and track citizens"

    I think the majority of us can say that we aren't too much for government spying on everyone. Glad to hear people are actually trying to change stuff instead of simply talking about it.

Ukraine cries 'robbery' as Russia annexes Crimea - 1 views

  •  
    If Russia can take Crimea who's going to stop them from taking other places?
  •  
    I agree that Russia is 'robbing' Crimea because Crimea was an independent country. Of course Crimea wouldn't be able to fight against the forces of Russia, but Russia took over Crimea and took advantage of a smaller victim.
  •  
    If Russia is starting to take back past territories from the Soviet's pre-break up area, then there is possibility that they may be planning to take back more than what they say what they've decided to stop with.

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Being speaker of the House doesn't make it any easier to sign up for health care coverage using the troubled federal website. Just ask John Boehner. The Ohio Republican says he had to re-start the process several times while spending four hours trying to sign up at HealthCare.gov.

Photos show scale of North Korea's repressive prison camps -- Amnesty - 0 views

    North Korea's prison camps are wrong. Now with the pictures of the camps and all the witnesses they have and evidence, I would think that would be enough for the United Nations to do something about it.

Obamacare Website Fixed? - 0 views

  •  
    They say the Obamacare website is now free of bugs that have been plaguing it since the beginning of the site. Some critics still say there are plenty of bugs; but only time will tell to see how fixed this site really is...
  •  
    I don't believe they've really fixed it, but if they don't get it set up soon, people will have to start paying large fines for the care that they may or may not need at the fault of the government.
