The archdiocese of New York, headed by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archdiocese of Washington, D.C., headed by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the University of Notre Dame, and 40 other Catholic dioceses and organizations around the country announced on Monday that they are suing the Obama administration for violating their freedom of religion, which is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
The dioceses and organizations, in different combinations, are filing 12 different lawsuits filed in federal courts around the country.
The Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. has established a special website----to explain it lawsuit and present news and development concerning it.
"This lawsuit is about an unprecedented attack by the federal government on one of America’s most cherished freedoms: the freedom to practice one’s religion without government interference," the archdiocese says on the website. "It is not about whether people have access to certain services; it is about whether the government may force religious institutions and individuals to facilitate and fund services which violate their religious beliefs." ...
Yes, they can… in a dictatorship… Not in America… Unless you're a democrat.
WHEN I listen to President Obama speak to and about women, he sometimes sounds too paternalistic for my taste. In numerous appearances over the years — most recently at the Barnard graduation — he has made reference to how women are smarter than men. It’s all so tired, the kind of fake praise showered upon those one views as easy to impress. As I listen, I am always bracing for the old go-to cliché: “Behind every great man is a great woman.”
Some women are smarter than men and some aren’t. But to suggest to women that they deserve dominance instead of equality is at best a cheap applause line. ...
… This method called for spraying a wrinkled shirt with water from a spray bottled and then blow drying it. ...
Save yourself the long read, this is what worked. For me I just tell everyone I like the wrinkled look which is no work at all but everyone thinks I'm odd. An ironed shirt ain't going to change that opinion anyway.
Politicians are a lower grade of people who want fame and fortune but are not smart enough to earn the fortune, nor are they talented enough to earn the fame. They become politicians and make laws that make it legal for them to steal money which they then use to buy fame.
"I have no idea what the hell he's talking about," syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said about Vice President Joe Biden's rant against Romney at a campaign event earlier this week.
"Speaking as a layman, I think he needs an adjustment in his medications," Krauthammer said on the "Special Report" panel this Friday. "This makes no sense whatsoever. He says, 'what rich person, what any person has said the middle class doesn't have any dreams or not have any dreams and denies it?' I have no idea what this is about, except a rant against the rich. And the irony of it, at the beginning of the rant he starts by saying he's out their to refute the charge and that he and other Democrats are resentful envious class warriors and then he says, 'I resent the rich' as a way of refuting that. I'm not sure he even knows what he's saying."
All of America, both dems and reps alike, for the sake of the country, wish Obama will stay healthy.
"I want to talk about the economy, I want to talk about jobs and I want to talk about this president's failures in fulfilling promises that he made. Look, this president's in love with the man in the mirror and what comes out of his mouth but what he's not in love with is following through for the American people. We know that. People can't put a full tank of gas in the car. They're not buying groceries the way they ought to. People aren't making what they should. I've got a feeling, just a hunch, that the president has a whole lot to do with that and people hold the CEO and the man in charge of this country accountable. And look, Stephanie Cutter said in a video that was released today from last week that the economy is a challenge. That's why the president doesn't want to talk about it," RNC Chair Reince Priebus said on CNN's "Situation Room" today.
VIENNA (Dow Jones)--The head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency will make an unscheduled visit to Iran on Sunday, the agency said in an announcement that spurred speculation that Tehran may finally agree to let inspectors visit secret sites and interview top nuclear officials. ...
What kind of 'surprise' is it if they announce it 4 days in advance?
WKRO-AM's Howie Carr spoke with Twyla Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist who runs a blog dedicated to Cherokee affairs and who has researched Elizabeth Warren's genealogy and has found absolutely no evidence of any Indian heritage. She said Elizabeth needs to apologize to the Cherokees, to all Native Americans and to the voters for perpetrating a fraud.
Twyla Barnes reached out to Elizabeth Warren and said "It seems you would like the “attacks” against your claims of Cherokee ancestry to stop so I thought I would offer some advice on how to make it stop. Tell the truth…. "
Interesting how the old saying, "The truth will out" applies here. If you ever plan to run for any political office you better not have anything in your closet you don't want public.
The birthers must be salivating now. But it doesn't make much difference. Even if true it would take a long time to remove him. Why bother, he'll be out come November anyway.
Just about every objective indicator foreshadows a huge re-election defeat for President Obama. With every day that passes, Mr. Obama looks more like a loser. ...
It's nice to have others come to my finding. Obama will lose 55/44 as I've been saying for over a year. This article covers many of the reasons to which I'll add, it's the economy stupid. It's really that simple. When a team loses the owners replace the coach. When a president presides over a losing economy the voters fire him and hire the other guy. The economy is bad, has been bad and won't get better in time to save Obama's job. He'll be fired.

Seeing that only Reps are being robbed then what else must we suspect. And if it was only dems being robbed you know damn well they'd blame the reps.
When Google first launched Android, the open-source operating system came with the promise that it could power almost any device. That’s created a proverbial cornucopia of mobile devices that consumers have to choose from, but it’s also led to the issue of fragmentation — there are so many devices running different versions of Android with different capabilities that can alter experience.
Just how bad is the problem? The site Open Signal Maps studied fragmentation in detail, gathering data from 195 countries, and it put its findings in easy-to-discern graphics. The main takeaways: Yes, fragmentation is huge, with 3,997 devices, but it’s also a blessing that has led to the platform becoming the No. 1 mobile OS in the world by far. ...
If you're a bit of a geek and you like to tinker then Android is your choice. If you just want it to work then Apple is your choice.
The Obama White House is drawing ridicule for appending the official online biographies of nearly every president over the last century in order to link President Obama's accomplishments to the former commanders in chief. ...
