We know we're screwed when 49 percent of Americans still approve of Obama. It's not the economy anymore. Call it 47.9 percent. This poll says it's only 41 percent.

Any couple should be able to be buried together - its ridiculous that anybody should have to go to court to make this happen - but what law did the judge follow to make this order? Judges can't just ignore laws. They have to obey them.

"The death certificate for ailing John Arthur can show James Obergefell as his surviving spouse, U.S. District Judge Timothy Black in Cincinnati said yesterday. The couple wanted the ruling for purposes including being able to be buried next to each other in an Arthur family plot that allows only descendants and spouses, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. "

It sounds like the family created their own problem. This isn't about being buried together. They could have been buried together anywhere, and they family should have the last say in the family plot, not a judge. This is activists exploiting the illness of a man to make the law.

House libertarian and co-sponsors hopes to rein in the NSA with amendment to the defense appropriations bill.

"With liberal Democrat John Conyers signed on as a co-sponsor, and 32 members of Congress from both parties on board, the libertarian movement’s brightest star in the House has thrown a real monkey wrench into the campaign to minimize and whitewash the vast and unaccountable surveillance system secretly set up by the NSA.
And he’s got the Regimists in a real panic. Just reading that Huffington Post headline – "NSA’s Keith Alexander Calls Emergency Private Briefing To Lobby Against Justin Amash Amendment Curtailing Its Power" – was so thrilling that I had to stop writing this column, for a moment, and just bask."

It sounds great, but I doubt it passes.

"This morning I read a headline in the Financial Times exclaiming: "Libertarian Republicans Block Pentagon Bill"! Yes, libertarian Republicans – of varying degrees of consistency – in Congress, a small but growing and highly visible vanguard of liberty, which calls itself the Liberty Caucus. And in the fight against the Surveillance State, they are getting support from progressives with a conscience, who are daring to break with this administration over its draconian approach to civil liberties."

I've advocated libertarians take over the Republican party for years, so I'm happy to see this small movement making the establishment sweat, but after the way Republicans cheated Ron Paul last year, I don't think taking over the party will succeed.

""The invitation warned members that they could not share what they learned with their constituents or others. ‘The briefing will be held at the Top Secret/SCI level and will be strictly Members-Only,’ reads the invite.""

I guess they are scared. NSA is going to tell them details of plots it supposedly foiled, but nobody will ever be able to verify them because of the clearance and the war on whistle-blowers.

Arguments against sexual integration. I have one. Boys are different than girls. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have another one. Women are much more valuable to the species, and this is almost certainly why nature made men and women so different. We should celebrate the differences, not pretend they don't exist.

Leftist pretends to support George Zimmerman and claims to be a racist.
