   America spends $1.5 trillion on broken plane

   Here. Talk about being in the pocket of defense contractors (in this case, Lockheed Martin, which gets $36 billion a year in taxpayer money). What a joke. A quote from the transcript: People are going to start to understand, if you look carefully at what the Pentagon and the contractors are doing, much of this is not defending us. It's just defending their bottom lines. It's not defending the country.

   Exhibit A Gotta love it. Anyhow, here's a good quote from gubernatorial candidate Richard Tisei, a gay (and married) Republican who--obviously--supports gay marriage but also abortion rights: “The Republican Party should lead the way in getting government off our backs, out of our wallets, and away from our bedrooms, and the Party hierarchy would be wise to adopt platforms that promote these values, which are shared by an overwhelming number of citizens in Massachusetts.� Here, here! Where did that Republican Party go? When did it become so fused with the Religious Right and their 19th century worldview?

    Oops! http://www.ijreview.com/2014/03/118668-remember-obama-mocking-romney-foreign-policy-question-2012-campaign/ Remember Obama Mocking Romney With This Comment About Russia During A 2012 Debate? In the heat of the 2012 campaign, during an October presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Obama ridiculed Romney over his concern about Russia as a “geo-politicalâ€� threat. Obama attempted to paint Romney as somehow out-of-touch with 21st century geo-politics, suggesting (ironically, as we now know) that al-Qaeda was a bigger threat than Russia. “You said Russia. Not al-Qaeda. You said Russia,â€� Obama said regarding biggest threats. T…

    Los Angeles gangbangers surface in Syria to join Assad forces in fighting

    Two members of notorious Los Angeles street gangs have apparently made a global trek -- from the crowded streets of LA to the barren battlefields of Syria -- to fight alongside forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. The men -- who identify themselves on a 2-minute video clip as “Winoâ€� from the Westside Armenian Power gang and “Creeperâ€� of the Surenos, a group with apparent ties to the Mexican Mafia -- are seen in a war-torn, desolate area as they spot the “enemigosâ€� a short distance away before firing in their direction. Ex-LA gang members seen on video fighting for Assad Dodger fans? Can a mod move this to hangout forum? Posted here by mistake.…

    Well, this just got the ok to get the necessary 800k signatures needed to get this proposal on the ballot. Even if it's gets on the ballot and gets voter approval, I don't think it has a realistic chance of getting enacted since it also needs approval by Congress. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/02/19/plan-to-split-california-into-six-states-gets-ok-to-gather-signatures/

    Huge victory for 2nd Amendment advocates. A person in California does not have to jump through hoops anymore to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. He/she simply needs to state that they want to defend themselves, and show good moral character. Big surprise, coming from the liberal 9th Circuit. http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_25134832/?source=redbar
