    DaveE got a reaction from Leatherneck in Cincinatti Police chief on Open Carry of Firearns   
    So going from your totally BS statement of 7.4 miles, to inside the venue itself is nit picking. Remember you're the guy who stated 7.4 miles.
    Second, if you show up with a gun, they can't do squat, even the Secret Service says all they can do is turn you away.
    Yes, the secret service can override a governors authority when it comes to how they protect a public official. They did say that anything outside the actual venue is Tampa's issue.
    Link please to where it says that Republicans favor gun bans to protect their own? Why do I have the feeling that it is just more BS because the Secret Service imposed a restriction. Also, this was about the Cincinatti police chief until you highjacked it into your normal Republican bashing.

    Why are they referred to as "kids", when they can be 30 years old? Jan Brewer is doing what she said she would do. If her electorate doesn't like it they will replace her.

    They will know exact immigration status when they run the card through the SAVE database. They just don't accept EAD cards, they verify that they are real.

    DaveE got a reaction from I AM NOT THAT GUY in Romney lied about his taxes in 2002. He's probably lying about them again.   
    It's just a Maddow hit piece with her normal partisan BS. All this was settled a decade ago when the Democrats filed a complaint saying that Romney was a Utah resident and could not run for Governor of Massachusetts.
    The Massachusetts Ballot Law Commission investigated it and concluded as a matter of law that any mistake was inadvertant, and much of it on the part of Utah, and the tax accounting firm used by Romney.
    This is the kind of BS that Mrs Romney was talking about, much ado about nothing. It also highlights why he should not release anything. Read the entire report here and draw your own conclusion.

    DaveE got a reaction from Mike B. in Pregnancy Help; Not Enough $$$; What to do?   
    Wrong. First off, US military installations overseas are not US soil. After thirty years in the military, and seventeen of them overseas, I was briefed that at every installation. For example, american air bases in germany have a German base commander. Granted he does not get in the way of operations but it is a reminder that the base is a German air base on German soil. Same for Korea and other countries.
    Second, you daughter is a Natural Born citizen. If you feel like it, read the text by the Congressional Research Service on the issue. Here is a cut and paste from their research.
    The weight of more recent federal cases, as well as the majority of scholarship on the subject,
    also indicates that the term “natural born citizen” would most likely include, as well as native
    born citizens, those born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents, at least one of whom had previously
    resided in the United States, or those born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent who, prior to the
    birth, had met the requirements of federal law for physical presence in the country.

    DaveE reacted to Obama 2012 in The outrageous subsidies to religion in America   
    Whether you like religion/churches or not, doesn't mean that they should have to pay taxes.
    You have to remember that most churches function off of donations from their congregation.
    Those donations are there to pay for their rent, electricity, water, minister's/church staff salaries, mission trips, community efforts, etc. They have bills like everyone else but don't have a direct source of income. You don't have to donate/pay just because you attend a church. Many people do, but many people do not as well.
    Churches are good for communities overall. If someone is hungry, needs clothing, help somehow, many of them use their donated resources to help people out in need whether they are a part of the congregation or not.
    That isn't to say that some churches aren't scams overall, but those are few and far between.
    I can't stand religion, but I see no problem with churches not paying taxes, when that money could better used by the church than it ever could the government.

    DaveE got a reaction from Penguin_ie in When should I have a Senator petition on my behalf?   
    Neither your Senator nor your representative can do anything in your behalf. If they could, everyone would ask them. The only thing they can do is ask for the status of your petition. Usually USCIS will answer them fairly quickly. Your Governor is not even part of the Federal government.
    I asked once and USCIS told my Senator to "tell your constituent to wait", he is still well within normal processing time. Actually my Senator forwarded me the email from USCIS.
    Remember USCIS neither works for, nor is part of the Legislative branch of government.

    Yes - folks who don't know squat about the chain act all shocked and offended. Chick-fil-A has always been this way. It is only new to people who don't have a clue about the restaurant.
    The company's official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists "To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
    From Wiki: Chick-fil-A (referring to "filet") is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in the Atlanta suburb of College Park, Georgia, United States, specializing in chicken entrées and is known for promoting the company founder's Christian values

    DaveE got a reaction from I AM NOT THAT GUY in Fox News thinks pollution is good for the planet   
    That ought to be at least a four Pinocchio headline. Fox news didn't say pollution was good for the planet, they reported the results of a study by Auburn University.
    AUBURN, AL – As the scientific community worries about greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming, a new Auburn University study suggests the Southeastern U.S. absorbs more carbon than it produces. And, at least in the short term, air pollution may actually be helping to speed the growth of young, carbon-absorbing forests in the region.
    “Our study actually showed that Southeast carbon uptake is much faster than other regions,” said Hanqin Tian, a professor at Auburn’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, and lead author of the study published in the journal Ecosystems. “This area has trees that are very young and the growth is very fast. So, they uptake more carbon from the atmosphere.”
    While earlier studies have examined the effect of individual factors on carbon storage and climate change, Tian developed a computer model that takes into account multiple natural and manmade variables – such as land use, climate and pollution – over the past century.
    The model suggests that moderate amounts of air pollution, in the form of carbon and nitrogen, had a fertilization effect on young forests. Many of these new trees appeared on abandoned agricultural land during the mid-20th century.
    “In the short term, it could increase the carbon uptake,” Tian said. “But that’s not guaranteed for long.”

    DaveE got a reaction from Glyn and Kathy in Hand Guns   
    This is why - The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment. The District’s total ban on handgun possession in the home amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of “arms” that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense. Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional rights, this prohibition—in the place where the importance of the lawful defense of self, family, and property is most acute—would fail constitutional muster.
    Heller vs DC was primarily about handguns. Additionally, many public officials/police/military would not enforce such a ban.
    In other words, to do what you propose would require a change to a constitutional amendment that would never succeed.
