"GRAPEVINE, Texas—The Boy Scouts of America has decided to allow gay youth to openly join its ranks, reversing a longstanding ban.

A majority of the 1,400 Scouts leaders gathered for their annual meeting voted in support a proposal floated last month by Scouts officials to open Scouting's membership to gay youth, but not gay adults in staff or volunteer leadership roles."

 

 

 

 

Obama Expands Militarization of Police: Maybe Republicans could represent Obama's Progressive base on this issue.

Antifascist's picture

Obama responds to complaints of the Tea party and Republicans, but ignores his progressive base. When the IRS investigated ACORN and Occupy Wall Street, not a word from Obama. However, when the Tea party complains of the IRS Obama responds by firing IRS agents, or at least transferring them to other posts, launching investigations, and publicly condemning the IRS. Progressives have complained of government surveillance (police are still surveilling Occupy Wall Street to this day), but not a word from Obama until the establishment AP news and Republicans complained of wiretaps.

I can disagree with you [drc2] about the 2nd, but we are totally in synch about the National Security State and Dominator Empire.  I think the 1st and the 4th are more important to bringing down the empire than the 2nd. The 1st and the 4th will never be brought down as long as we have the 2nd.

ROTF... which brings us back to the simple question... Where in the Second is there ANY right for armed citizens to threaten or attack the government?

Tornado conspiracy

Alex Jones is peddling the notion that the Moore EF5 was a government operation. He misses the point that the banks sitting on foreclosed property that can't be sold in a down market now get paid for property no longer on the books. So the banks launched the tornadoes, it's as plain as the conspiracy under your nose, or wherever  conspiracies reside. They might be where the sun don't shine. Jones is pulling them from somewhere.

The more I think about this IRS thing the more it stinks A LOT like a setup arranged by Bush-appointees in the IRS to mess with Obama. It's just too stupid to believe anyone did this in earnest.
