That's the gist of it, both of you. Obama differs from his predecessors not in degree but inRead More kind--qualitatively, not quantitatively. He is our first, true-blue presidential ideologue.

That is correct 'Bat', pathetic attempts by followers of the present charlatan President - keepRead More trying to make, this some sordidly type of "racist" issue... wholly non-existent. In other words, affixing blame in search of a problem, for perceived political gain. The fact is, our President Barack Obama is a bad manager, hiring lousy managers in positions demanding excellence, affording no quarter for ineptitude and deceit! Promotion of figures and public servants as reward for ineptitude, should be punished by laws in-place and not shuffled around to administer more egregious miss-management. Lying to Americans has been perpetrated, by whom is in need of the reveal. The facts are inconsistent with, what has been revealed thus far. On the Muslim issue of the President's proclivity for apologies, it is appeasement at the least and inherent bowing to outrageous power at worst. The optics(hate that word in politics), are not good for America.

Face it folks, you elected the wrong guy, twice. John Mc Cain is not that impressive, Mitt Romney isRead More a little better, but both of them are leaps and bounds above Mr Obama. At least they are both Americans. Questions have been raised about Obama's place of birth. Where he was born is not the issue. The issue is he is not one of us.

'Bat'... At great individual cost, to be passed on to the consumer.

Perhaps the IRS is now in the identity theft business.

"A huge explosion on the sun will deal Earth a glancing blow today (May 17) but should not poseRead More a threat to the planet, scientists say. The sun storm erupted late Tuesday (May 14) during a powerful solar flare — the fourth unleashed by a single sunspot in just 48 hours — and hurled a massive cloud of charged particles out into space at millions of miles an hour."

Why yes 'TIL', I do remember a more vibrant. lively and robust Patch site in the region! Now theRead More Mommy Bloggers are happy, happy, happy*. Patch may or may not be getting what they want, but the tourist rag they are producing is fun for the Mommy Bloggers - they adapt so well. In the early few days of the "transition"... I had prepared comments on positives and negatives, as well suggestions to make San Diego region Patch workable... all for naught and logical lack of interest. Recently... voices of the Grape Nuts... on the left side have called oppositional views "unpatriotic"... though discordant, it isn't like people were allowed to die without expedient help or laws being abridged, abrogated or circumvented. Cry's of "slander" are incorrect, but doesn't prevent those more discordant voices from uttering the tones. I remember when Free Speech reigned in America 'TIL'... I do? Sure the chicks were nice... until they aren't. *ala Phil Robertson

Just imagine how much tax-payer money's been blown on Art's drinking junkets over the last quarterRead More century (and how many sidewalks have been soiled).

Rides4Neighbors is a great service. Because I work and travel a lot I cannot always get my motherRead More to her appointments and the folks at Rides4Neighbors are always so helpful and my mom really praises the drivers for their help and friendliness.

Mark, they were making that U-Turn to drop off their elementary school children in the red zoneRead More anyway....so the no U-Turn sign kills two birds with one stone: no bad U-Turns + no parking in the red zone. And, we are talking about elementary school children, so safety should have been all those parents first priority.
Mark Gregory Elliott April 18, 2013 at 03:12 pm
It is good to narrow the streets. Pedestrians are road kill in San Diego County. And if drivers doRead More not realize there is not enough room to make a U-turn, they need to retake the driving test instead of going over the curb. This is not rocket science people.

Did S(he) tell you what was "shoddy" about his helping women with their choice?
Stuart Strenger April 20, 2013 at 02:48 pm
I've talked to God, and (S)he definitely supports a woman's right to choose whether she remainsRead More pregnant or not but disapproves of the shoddy way Dr. Gosnell ran his clinic. Surely you see the distinction as well. Medical malpractice is malpractice from any religious or ethical position. By the way, God also said (S)he supports gay marriage.
Komfort April 20, 2013 at 10:51 am
What does your God say about Kermit Gosnell and a woman's right to choose?
