    President Obama's executive action to expand gun sale background checks has opened up a legal can of worms. Specifying he means that background checks were a joke before he came into office. Anyone was cable of buying a gun with with no worries since President Obama been in office its mandatory for everyone to get a background check before the purchase of the weapon.

    In previous posts, we've seen why Planned Parenthood has been threaten by being defund but what we don't know is why medical doctors prefer fetal tissue. Some say that it's because it can adapt easier than adult cells. Without fetal tissue, doctors would've never discovered vaccines and such to keep our human race on it's feet.

    "Flint's state of emergency declared at municipal and state levels began years ago when the city suffered a financial emergency. The state took over the city's budget and decided to temporarily switch Flint's water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River to save money until a new supply line to Lake Huron was ready."

    It is time to put and end to illegal immigration. Certain political groups are pushing to grant amnesty to immigrants. In doing so this will weaken our current immigration laws and it will lead to the destruction of our border security and enforcement.

    Semantically, it's painfully ironic that factions like this exist considering that America was built upon immigrating to a new land with no prior government, and creating a government that claims all men are created equally.

    This article is very good for looking at a specific case of a state using voter ID laws to discriminate certain members of their community. The article is also very helpful because it briefly goes over the Voter Rights Act. This act was put in place so that voter laws could not discriminate against certain types of people.

    Virginia has banned driving with a license plate that depicts the Confederate flag - but some in the state are resisting. Around 1,600 Virginians with state-issued Confederate flag plates received a letter last month from the DMV saying they had until October 4 to swap them out for new ones that don't show the flag.

    Congressional Republicans voted on Thursday to make it more difficult for refugees from Syria and Iraq to come to the US as the fallout from last Friday's Isis terrorist attacks in Paris continues. In addition, more than half of the US's governors have said they will no longer provide placement for Syrian refugees, arguing that they pose too great a risk to national security.

    Author D B Kopel argues that gun control in countries like Great Britain, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, and Jamaica is not the reason for their low crime rate. In fact he states that their gun control law is the cause for more burglaries and that gun registration has been proven in these countries to be valueless in solving or preventing crimes.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I'm really glad this symbol is being recognized and taken down in other states, especially those with discriminating acts recently taking place.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.

    An Arkansas teen says he was turned down when he tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps because of his "Southern Pride" Confederate flag tattoo. Anthony Bauswell shows his pride in his country upbringing with his tattoos, and to show pride in his country he walked into the Conway Marine recruiting center Monday to enlist.

    Gun violence has been a rising issue within the last few years, especially with the number of mass shootings. Most people think that mental health issues are what cause these incidents. But even professionals think that if all mental health problems were solved there would still be issues with gun violence.

This law should not a very big issue if your a US citizen. If you do not have an ID you cannot contribute very much to our country because almost every job would require to see an ID.

    Americans are divided over whether or not the U.S. government has gone too far in using surveillance practices that infringe on citizens' privacy, an NBC News online survey found. While 38 percent of Americans say the government's surveillance program has gone too far in infringing on people's privacy, 35 percent say the government's program has been relatively balanced between privacy concerns and fighting terrorism.

    What Edward Snowden has done is to force a long repressed debate about how much liberty, if any, we need to sacrifice in order to protect our security. Before his leaks, that urgent conversation was a non-debate because the violations of liberty were being done entirely in secret, beyond the reach of democratic deliberation.
