Dr. Ben Carson No ‘Extra Rights’ for LGBT Americans
JANUARY 12, 2017
In his Senate confirmation hearing, Dr. Ben Carson made it perfectly clear that he believes in equal treatment for all. The doctor is a conservative Christian, but that does not lead him to deny rights to any group. He also does not believe that any group should receive preferential treatment.

now...the above post is written in precise words uttered by dr. ben carson.

the words and expressions by conservatives to incite and irritate their base
As Written By Tim Devaney for The Hill:
Trump Cabinet pick Ben Carson reiterated his belief Thursday that LGBT Americans "don’t deserve "“extra rights".”
During Carson’s confirmation hearing, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) pressed the Housing and Urban Development nominee about whether he would enforce LGBT protections in the public housing sector.
“Of course, I would enforce all the laws of the land,” Carson responded. “Of course, I think all Americans should be protected by the law.”
“What I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights,’” he added.
Carson’s remarks mirror those from his 2014 CPAC speech: “Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else, but they don’t get extra rights,” Carson said.
now you know and i know that no looneylefty is going to read or hear past the
"don’t deserve "“extra rights".”

THIS is a BOLD FACED LIE!!!
No one is going to go without insurance. There will be a transition period. When pressured for proof that people will lose their coverage, the sooth sayers could NOT come up with it. Bernie Sanders is perpetuating this lie in speeches to scare people.

The Stupid War on Cory Booker
by Martin Longman January 13, 2017 2:46 PM
Did Cory Booker and a bunch of other Democratic senators just vote against importing prescription drugs from Canada? No. No, they didn’t. Here is what they voted against:
SA 178. Ms. KLOBUCHAR (for herself and Mr. Sanders) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 3, setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2017 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2018 through 2026; as follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES FOR AMERICANS BY IMPORTING DRUGS FROM CANADA.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to lowering prescription drug prices, including through the importation of safe and affordable prescription drugs from Canada by American pharmacists, wholesalers, and individuals with a valid prescription from a provider licensed to practice in the United States, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2017 through 2021 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2017 through 2026.
What they voted against was the above amendment to the Budget reconciliation bill. The Budget reconciliation bill is not a normal bill because it never becomes law. It never goes to the president for signature or veto. What it does is set out the framework for spending money that the committee chairs must work with when legislating and appropriating.
The Klobuchar/Sanders amendment would have given Senator Mike Enzi of Wyoming, the chairman of the Budget Committee, the discretion to pass a bill on the importation of prescription drugs or other means of lowering the price for American consumers, even if that required him to adjust how monies were allocated to his subcommittees.
For starters, Sen. Enzi voted against giving himself this discretion, so he clearly had no intention of taking advantage of it. In truth, though, this amendment was just one of several amendments the Democrats introduced to cause political pain to the Republicans. None of them would have actually become law, but all of them could be used to attack anyone who voted against them.
To see how this was supposed to work, all you have to do is look at an article that was produced by the Center for American Progress yesterday. They highlighted “6 essential health benefits” the GOP had voted to take away during their Wednesday night/Thursday morning vote-a-rama. None of those health benefits included the Klobuchar/Sanders amendment on prescription drugs, but they were all poison pill/message amendments intended to embarrass and wound any senators who voted against them. One was on protecting people with pre-existing conditions, another was on letting young adults stay on their parents’ health plan until they’re twenty six, and another was on protecting children on Medicaid or CHIP. None of the amendments meant a damn thing. None of them had the least potential to change the law of the land. But they gave the Democrats the opportunity to blast the (mostly) Republicans who voted against them. The Center of American Progress article was the main instrument for that bludgeoning.
It’s decent politics, and good for the gander, but it’s all show.
The Republicans who voted for these things were just avoiding needlessly wounding themselves. The same is true for the Democrats who voted against them.
What does it mean that Cory Booker voted against this meaningless prescription drug amendment? What does it mean that Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico voted against it? What does it mean that Senator Ted Cruz voted for it?
It means approximately nothing.
But if you’re playing along, you ought to know that the intention of the amendments was never to do anything but to slap around Republicans. If you’ve decided that you need to wage a preventive war against Cory Booker’s 2020 presidential aspirations by killing him over this vote, then you’re waging your own ideological war and way off message.
It’s easy to see why you might have been taken in by this when you look at headlines that say “For Some Reason, Cory Booker and 12 Other Dems Helped Kill a Bill That Would Lower Drug Prices.”
But that headline should be considered Fake News.
It wasn’t really a bill by any ordinary understanding of that term because it could never be signed into law. Passage of the amendment would have given chairman Enzi discretion he never would have used, which means that the bill would not have lowered drug prices.
So, why did John McCain and Rand Paul vote for it and Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray vote against it?
Personally, I don’t really care. It meant nothing. But, as with most things, these politicians voted in the way they thought would be most beneficial to their careers. If you want to try to read the tea leaves on that, be my guest. But the idea was to slap Republicans, not Democrats.

Alabama's oldest private historically black college faced severe backlash for agreeing to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration.
Then Americans pitched in and did something beautiful...
Talladega College Band Raises $320K to Fund Inauguration Trip--4X Their Goal
by JEROME HUDSON13 Jan 2017116
After facing fierce backlash, the marching band of Talladega College — Alabama’s oldest private historically black college — has raised over $320,000 to help fund a trip to Washington D.C. to perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
“The money will be used for transportation, travel, lodging, and other expenses,” reads a GoFundMe page dedicated to raising funds for the band’s performance later this month. “It will give students an opportunity to have a memorable experience to see first hand a transition of power and other events.”
Earlier this month, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced that some 40 groups and organizations, including Talladega’s Marching Tornados, were accepted to perform in the inaugural parade.
The announcement, however, sparked backlash and outrage from some of the school’s former students.
Talladega College President Billy Hawkins said he was called a “disgrace” to his “African-American race” for agreeing to allow his band to perform in inaugural events.
“They’ve said that I have shamed the college by making this decision, and I’ve had folks to say that I’m a disgrace to my African-America race,” Hawkins said Wednesday on The O’Reilly Factor. “It’s been pretty nasty.”

Oh come on, who cares about the actions of Obama's FBI now?
Or, are you trying to blame Trump, for the few Obama messes, you are not blaming on George Bush?
I guess you are trying to tell us that every single mess that Obama caused, was the fault of someone other than Obama.
OK, blame Trump and Bush for everything Obama messed up during the last eight years.
We will shrug our shoulders and laugh at you.
Don't count your chickens!!The U.S.Inspector General has begun an investigation into the actions of the FBI and it's director Comey leading up to the election.

If it wasn't for your extreme prejudice, you would have a very good point.
The fact is, that most of the politicians in Washington, want to spend the money we borrow on their own pet projects.
Why do you blame it all on one political party?
The Democrats had absolute power eight years ago. They could have passed any legislation they wanted, that would have taken care of our wounded soldiers.
Why didn't they do something then.
Only one answer is logical.
The Democrats had a ton of pet projects, that were far more important to them!
I won't blame the Democrats, because I know the Republicans have their pet projects too.
So go ahead and show the world how prejudiced you are. Start a political mud throwing contest that will overshadow the terrible treatment some of our heroes have been shown.
Why fight for these brave men and women, when you can use their plight, to help the Democrats?

as i understand it.....
the nepotism law only refers to cabinet positions... there is nothing that prevents you from having your son, son in law, or daughter serving in your admin, as Long as they
are not serving in a cabinet position.
and for those who might complain about JFK and RFK: why do you think the law was created?
it was created specifically after JFK and RFK mainly because JFK picked RFK to serve in a CABINET position: keyword Cabinet. That's the reason....
So bill Clinton had every right to appoint his wife as head of that committee. (course
we all know he did this to keep hitlery busy and off his back about monica)
Trump also has every right to appoint his family to those positions, advisory positions... most of these don't require senate confirmation.

U.S. paying salaries of tens of thousands of non-existent Afghan soldiers, police, teachers and civil servants
JANUARY 13, 2017 8:07 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER
“John Sopko, special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction (SIGAR), said the salaries of ‘ghost soldiers’ is just one of many ways Americans’ money is wasted in Afghanistan – all for rather modest gains.”
What gains? As soon as the U.S. troops are finally gone from Afghanistan, the Taliban will take over again. The whole Afghan misadventure has been a fool’s errand, a massive, ghastly waste of American lives, money, and materiel.
“Afghanistan’s ‘ghost soldiers’ take scary toll on US taxpayers, says watchdog,” by Perry Chiaramonte, Fox News, January 12, 2017:
The U.S. government is paying the salaries of “tens of thousands” of non-existent Afghan soldiers, police, teachers and civil servants, a top Pentagon official said Wednesday in reporting on the scale and variety of misspent U.S. money.
John Sopko, special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction (SIGAR), said the salaries of “ghost soldiers” is just one of many ways Americans’ money is wasted in Afghanistan – all for rather modest gains.
His comments summarize a SIGAR report that aims to help inform the new Congress and administration of the most pressing reconstruction challenges in 2017 and beyond. Sopko’s message was one American leaders have heard before.
“Including U.S. war funding unrelated to reconstruction, U.S. appropriations for Afghanistan now totals more than three quarters of a trillion dollars — not including the $43.7 billion requested for fiscal year 2017,” he said in a speech before the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
“To date, more than $115 billion of U.S. taxpayer money has been spent, sometimes wisely – too often not. Another $7.5 billion has been appropriated but not yet spent, and international donors have pledged to provide financial support to Afghanistan and its security forces through 2020.”
Despite the huge amounts spent in Afghanistan, conditions are deteriorating.
“As of Aug. 28, 2016, only 63.4 percent of the country’s districts were under Afghan government’s control or influence, a reduction from the 72 percent as of Nov. 27, 2015, Sopko said.
Afghan forces “are generally capable and effective at protecting major population centers, preventing the Taliban from maintaining prolonged control of specific areas and at responding to Taliban attacks.”
But the Afghan military, “a reportedly 320,000-strong force is basically playing ‘whack-a-mole’ following the Taliban around Afghanistan.”…

as i understand it.....
the nepotism law only refers to cabinet positions... there is nothing that prevents you from having your son, son in law, or daughter serving in your admin, as Long as they
are not serving in a cabinet position.
and for those who might complain about JFK and RFK: why do you think the law was created?
it was created specifically after JFK and RFK mainly because JFK picked RFK to serve in a CABINET position: keyword Cabinet. That's the reason....
So bill Clinton had every right to appoint his wife as head of that committee. (course
we all know he did this to keep hitlery busy and off his back about monica)
Trump also has every right to appoint his family to those positions, advisory positions... most of these don't require senate confirmation.
has nothing to do with that
has to do with Trumps global businesses and how he needs to separate his presidency with his business holdings .....IE blind trust
But, nice try at spinning this.............you failed

If what you are saying is to ignore Donnie's constant lying, that isn't going to happen.

here's your progressive democrat legacy......
Democrats.... the party of Slavery then and now. From taking our nation to war, to keep slaves.... and onto segregation, Jim Crow Laws , Racism and promoting Poverty through a failed civil rights movement.... Democrats continue to control Black America. It's the new slavery. Sadly they can't think or act for themselves as they follow corrupt leadership that has sold them out....fm
i pray to GOD, their eyes are opened

 If you're suffering from this please seek treatment ASAP:
Do You Know Someone Suffering From Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder (TURD)?
TURD is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.
Sufferers of TURD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of childlike rage, rioting and uncontrollable crying.
It is related to Soros of the mind.
People with TURD are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again.
TURD Is caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.
Research is ongoing, but TURD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:
*Membership in the Democratic Party
*Identifying as a feminist
*Currently enrolled in college, and/or possession of a Liberal Arts college degree
*Living in a densely populated metropolitan area
*Massive student debt
*Spotty or non-existent work history
Patients with TURD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TURD, urge them to seek treatment. Together we can beat this scourge.

Johnson was a despicable assassin, head of machinations in escalating the Vietnam debacle for profit. He was forced to step down and not pursue re-election, or be exposed as such.
Eisenhower warned of this war machine as he left office.

City, if you are going to make a statement like that, please research what is going to be done in place of it and make an argument about the replacement.
NO ONE is going to be without coverage.
NO ONE is going to have the rug pulled out from under them
Existing diagnosis will still be covered, offspring up to 26 will still be covered under the parents plan.
Under this AHC, a friend of mine was removed from the kidney transplant list, essentially giving her a preventable death sentence.
Health care Premiums and deductibles have risen, choices have fallen to only 1 in some states.
What WILL happen;
There will be a transition period of a few years. In the interim the law will allow us to now buy insurance across state lines stopping the monopoly that now exists, where people only have ONE choice under the AHC due to the poor planning of this health care plan.
A competitive market as with anything will drive DOWN the prices for premiums, lower deductibles and increase better coverage if they want to stay in business in this country.

I am curious how the new law (that we know nothing about YET) will remove the state line barrier as it was NOT the ACA that added that barrier...The state line barrier has been there for decades as the states did not want the federal government having any say in what health care coverage was allowed to be sold in their state...
It is state REFUSAL to allow certain carrier within their state that created the barrier of state lines...
So apparently it is now better to allow the FEDERAL government to approve plans taking that away from the states...
And I am NOT complaining...I have felt for over 20 years having 50 different DOI (Departments of Insurance) with 50 different sets of regulations that Insurance Industry has to be compliant with is a big part of what has driven prices up...

for their fake news and propaganda sources. should we crown them dhcouple of 2017???
or just mr/msfailcitydimwitlightsguy???
Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of ? ? Reagan's strategy to break the back of the ? ? Soviet Union ? ? with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness.
For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was ? ? extremely interesting and well-structured and informative.
He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on global ? ? trends and the future, etc. He is in semi-retirement now.
He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything.
He is also a somewhat well-known mountain ?- ? climber and ? ? adventurer.
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler:
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience,no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.
He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects.
The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.
What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.
Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect ?'? Liberal Messiah ?'? . ? ? It's something Hillary ?still ? doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her.
Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.
Thus ?,? Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it.
The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: ? ? Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.
Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.
He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.
And yet he got elected, not once but twice. Thanks to those that did not think it was important to vote for freedom and those that were willing to give up their freedoms for entitlements.
Remember you don't have to be on a southern plantation to be a slave, if you are dependent on government entitlements you just have a different slave owner.
