Oops.
It has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat it has to do with who runs this country and who gets people elected and in return the politicians kiss their ass by introducing legislation that they want passed or voting in favor or against something they want.

Funny.
Sounds exactly what "Audit the Fed" would have said.

Yep, you responded to my post about knowing we're heading in the right direction because the Republicans are mad, all because you don't believe it has to do with party.

Run along junior. You don't want none of this.

I just have the right not to agree with laws that support a behavior that I disagree with it. Your angry - not my concern . Me being a religious person though - I don't dislike the people, I dislike the action . So, laugh if you want and we'll see who get's the last laugh.
Are you happy going through life thinking that? You know it's a sin to be holier than thou.

Which 'you' are you referring to? Me or the general you. Because if you are referring to me, who are you to judge what I am or believe. Your're not God. I'm a good Christian who belieives God is Love. As long as I serve that purpose inwardly and outwardly, I am perfoming his mission for me.

I'm sorry you church or minister doesn't teach you that. If so, you should pay more attention, or get your money back.

I don't see any backpedaling being done here.
Funny how you jump to insulting the poster instead of pointing out where you find error in his thinking.

How silly.

Nope. I don't actually I live in a really nice area but this crap happens everywhere. It happened at the school I attended both of them actually and I see it on tv constantly.

From the link:
You must be looking at an old page or something. A law just passed this year that makes FMLA PAID! I know a few people who get it. Haven't you noticed the taxes for it coming out of your check? I've already looked into it here at my job, which IS the Dept. of Labor and it is 35 days of PAID leave.
