Romney Reminds U.S. Who Pays Federal Taxes - 2 views

  •  
    Oops. I didn't see that Jeremy had already posted the original article on here. This isn't meant as a rebuttal to his article.
  •  
    Even if this was a rebuttal to what I posted I think that's a good thing that you put this up. I tend to post news stories that my friends/family send me so I may not always find stories that show views from the other side. It's important to look at issues from all sides to form a proper opinion on things.

Bus tour to oust gay marriage decision judge makes stop in Johnson County today - The Daily Iowan - 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.

'Under God' part of Pledge of Allegiance under review in Massachusetts - CNN.com - 0 views

    "'Under God' part of Pledge of Allegiance under review in Massachusetts"
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    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!!
  •  
    They have actually spoken on that in the past

Nevertheless, less than a week after it was first posted to the government's "We the People" platform, over 100,000 Americans have signed a petition asking the Obama administration to revoke Bieber's green card.

4 cases of Sexual harassment - 1 views

  •  
    This article is about how sexual harassment is still around, and how many people can be affected by it. I found it interesting that these authors found simple solutions to these problems, but also how some of the situations are rather stupid and how some people took what they called, "sexual harassment" to far.

Maryland bill would cut water, electricity to NSA headquarters | Fox News - 2 views

  •  
    "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.
