Re: Investigations Into Planned Parenthood Are Falling Totally Flat
by

Well, yeah. What we're looking at is just another full face plant  for the faux outrage generated by and for the ignorant and unwashed in their continual war on women:

Following the release of several inflammatory videos that suggest Planned Parenthood is improperly profiting from the sale of “aborted baby parts,” GOP lawmakers have been quick to condemn the national women’s health organization. However, their current strategies to attack Planned Parenthood are falling short.

Planned Parenthood officials say they’re simply helping their patients donate fetal tissue samples, which can help scientists develop new treatments for serious diseases. Anti-abortion activists, meanwhile, say the misleading videos released by the right-wing group Center for Medical Progress prove the organization is acting immorally.

In response, several state officials have launched investigations into their local Planned Parenthood affiliates, looking for proof that the group is breaking the law.

But so far, they’ve come up completely empty.

Officials in states including Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, and South Dakota have not been able to turn up any evidence that Planned Parenthood clinics are violating state laws and regulations regarding the collection of fetal tissue donations. Records obtained from other states, like Kansas, reveal that some Planned Parenthood clinics don’t even give their patients the option to donate this tissue.


Georgia was quick to jump all over this (we have serious Republicans in charge) and found this:

Planned Parenthood Southeast and four other abortion providers in Georgia are following state law on proper disposal of fetal tissues after abortions, a review by the state found.

In a letter released Wednesday, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, commissioner of the Department of Public Health, told Gov. Nathan Deal, “I have concluded that each (clinic) has proper procedures in place for burial or interment of remains and that all such facilities are currently following that portion of the law.” (AJC, Thursday, 8/13)

Yep, just another snipe hunt with public funds chasing another figment of imagination that run loose in the fantasy bubble that passes for right wing beliefs (which they all know are true). Sad. Really, really sad.


Oh look! They "cleared" the sites not doing fetal tissue profiteering, so let's forget the ones that are. SLB= Standard Leftist Bull

Re: Former DIA Chief Says Rise of Islamic State Was “A Willful Decision”

The institutional logic of governments is to increase "state security" even at the expense of "national security".

"The policies that led to the rise of ISIL were not merely the result of ignorance or looking the other way, but the result of conscious decision making":


ISIS is the Joe Biden Plan for three different groups to reign separately in Iraq.

I think Obama is a little dismayed at the killing of news men, Christians, and other non-muslims.
But Biden was all for three groups, way back when.

Re: Obama Was Impressed By Lion-Killing
by

President Obama was really impressed by lion-killing years before his administration started investigating the killing of Cecil the Lion.

Obama, whose administration is assisting the Zimbabwean government in an investigation into Cecil’s killing by Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, didn’t used to have a problem with lion-killing, according to his 1995 book “Dreams From My Father.”

How rich is this? Obama wrote about a lion killing in his book. How funny. I hope this makes mainstream news. Of course it won't hurt his image, but it's ironic anyway.

Of course, Obama was talking about a tribal tradition of killing lions with spears while you are talking about a bored Dentist killing a half-tame park lion with modern weapons.

I've hunted all my life, and poachers like this jack-o** (*)(*)(*)(*) me off to no end.

We now return you to your Obamaphobia frenzy.

Re: Jindal:Westboro Baptist Church members'will be locked up'if they protest funeral

The Supreme Court already ruled on Westboro, they can still protest outside a buffer zone between them and the funeral legally. I believe La. has such a law that implements a buffer zone, and if it's violated the demonstrators are subject to arrest.

its always tricky to word this statutes in such a way that courts see them as tolerant of the essential right to protest or express themselves, yet still achieve a legitimate government aim of maintaining civil order, and the rights of others.

Really folks, how loud do you want your neighbors to blare their stereos on their property at 3 am without a cop telling them to turn it down? Do you really care that the lyrics include social or political commentary?

He may feel there exists that statutory authority to arrest under Louisiana law. I am interested in looking at the statute first before I prejudge. The truth is that there are statutory and regulatory limitations on free speech and assembly that the courts have determined to be constitutional. Maybe he has one. The arrests are likely to sort this out,as judges begin to see the suspects and the charges and does a little legal research. The arrest examination is part of the clarifying process in law.

When supply reaches demand....what happens to those jobs?



Nothing happens to those jobs, unless the price of oil falls through the floor. I doubt that will be happening, anytime soon.

I did answer it. The Right has bulls***tted about when Iran would get a nuke for just under a decade now.

Today, arch-Neo-Con Tom Cotton says the deal will see Iran "get a nuclear weapon in 10-15 years". When according to the same guys...Iran should have gotten a nuke in 2008!!!!!

So why would current oil prices have anything to do with more failed Rightwing predictions of when Iran will get a nuke???

Drilling in the US does not lower prices, it just creates more jobs and money in the economy. Our oil is heavy, and is viable only when prices are higher world wide.

Oil prices are dropping on news of the deal.

So now the Repubs will promise their Base that they'll "stop the deal"....

which means they'll be promising ALL of us.....they'll help raise oil prices.

Go for it

High Gas Prices are good for our oil industry, why would we want it to go down?

Oh please.. Bibi has been claiming Iran was six months from the bomb since 1995.. Don't you know when you are being drug around by the short hairs?
 

Perhaps they would have if Israel hadn't sabotaged a number of their nuclear facilities and taken out their scientists.

You constantly make the same tiresome repetitious points without ever once considering how Israel has stopped Iran before.

So REAL Americans want another war and to fight Israel's battles....... Got it.

Get over it and stop using Israel as a decoy. Iran is as much against the US as Israel so wise up.

99% of the world want Iran stopped. To say they all like the deal is a lie on a par with "if you like your doctor you can keep him".

I know for sure the Persian Gulf states do not and are very nervous.

I guess we better get out there and start buying bigger SUVs and burning more fossil fuel to stave off the global cooling disaster, then.

See, this is why the environment  wackos dumped calling the problem "global warming" and changed it to "climate change". That way, whatever happens they can say they need to take all our money and spend it on one or another boondoggles to save us all from a FIERY / FREEZING DEATH.

That and the fact there hasn't been any "global warming" in 18 years.

"South Carolina House votes to remove Confederate flag from state house grounds"

"Early Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 94-20 to remove it, giving final approval to a bill that passed the Senate earlier in the week. "

Just needs the Governor to sign it into law now.

Nice

But sadly, we know many of these bigots were only shamed by the example of the truly Christian example of this black church's forgiveness of these racist murderers and their bigoted supporters, and many personally cheered these murders!!

We know these bigots are unlikely truly change their spots, but the children of these parents will be more likely to learn the a chance to stop idolizing the descendants and supporters of slave owners and slavery!
