They are protesting the fact that the soldiers died for the USA's
sins, not the person,
You should agree with that,be outraged that we(the USA)
keeps sending people to fight when we are going against
God's word,we will keep getting our butts kicked until we repent.

"Stress Bares Down On Professors". Really? Hmmm... Is that anything like the "Right to Bare Arms"?

In all likelihood, Coy is transgendered. The parents are responding to their child; they are not pressuring Coy to dress as a girl. Coy is not objecting. They appear to be sensitive parents and I say more power to them.

Here is an animated video version on history of valentine: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
It tells exactly how Valentine was captured by Claudius, and was executed, right after he wrote the eternally remembered 'from your Valentine' letter.

What a fun podcast! I like how the two personalities are very opinionated and are on two different sides of the music genre spectrum. It kept the show interesting. Despite their two different music/band tastes, they managed to discuss the important part of music....you know, the music being made.

I wish the podcast was recorded at a little higher volume though.

Also, Fall Out Boy is reuni- oh wait, who cares. Team Jess!

“The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.“"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"” cries sheWith silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Maria Sanchez, a citizen of MEXICO, is entitled to receive any and all medical care that the Government of MEXICO will pay for! All Srta, Sanchez needs to do is contact the Mexican Consul in Houston, and request their authorization for getting her treatment. There are multitudes of Mexican Millionaires and Billionaires (e.g. Carlos Slim Megu, net worth SIXTY BILLION U.S. Dollars) who are laughing their heads off at silly bleeding hearts fools who think that renegade citizens of other countries have a perfect right to come to this country, take our jobs, dump their anchor babies on our school systems, collect WIC benefits and even enjoy the custody of our correctional system----ON OUR DIME! There is absolutely no reason for a "pathway to citizenship". These renegades are already citizens of foreign countries, and the sooner they return and reduce the population of their nations to sustainable numbers, the better off all of us will be. Amnesty is Treason. Keep Immigration SAFE, LEGAL, and RARE.

A person who is present without authorization is authorized to get hospital services. If a person was driving a car without a license, that is illegally, would you say that the person should not be helped if he was hurt in an accident that he caused, because he was driving illegally?
People have been working for more than 10 years to get the immigration laws changed, and Congressional Republicans have consistently blocked the changes, despite the fact that President Bush backed these changes. sometimes bad laws have to be opposed. If Rosa Parks had not refused to move from the seat that she had taken in the front half of the bus, very possibly we might still be living with segregation.
I have worked with immigrants for over 20 years and have met very few who want a "free ride".
Mexico has great health care for people who have a certain amount of money. Poor people's health care is very spotty.

Linda Darling Langlois — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:24:10 -0000

I wonder why no one is mentioning that she was here illegally and getting hospital services illegally. If we don't like a law, change it, but what is the use of laws if they are disregarded? There are immigrants who come here for the free ride when many of our own citizens have a difficult time just getting by - never mind getting health care. Mexico has great medical care - at least in the area where one of my friends is living, and he claims it is like that all over.

Phoebe Sinclair, Federal Taxes is not an issue nor the issue; It is all about equality and justice. Puerto Rico is a Virtual Colony of The United States [sorry] The gross National Product of Puerto Rico is more than 40 Billions and is a haven for big Pharma industriesthat have enough richness to pay a hefty sum of needed taxes. Your informer is on the left of the truth. They do pay 5% state taxes to overcome expenses on the infrastructure for they to exist, like adequate transportation, energy, communications, a non corrupt Police and Government Officials. plus US Soil. Get a better source.
