Right now Tejas is being accosted by the ACLU and the Justice Dept over voter identity proof, regardless of the fact that the Supremes said it was ok. Afraid the Hispanic UDD's* wouldn't be able to vote even tho the state would provide FREE photo IDs

Last century when I first voted, I had to present my voter ID card before I could cast my ballot. We worked as election inspectors for our county until they replaced the tried and proven mechanical machines with electronics - and I don't ever recall a single challenge. If you could scrawl something next to your sig of record, you were fine to vote. Some - gotta say they didn't look close, but ...........

* UDD = UnDocumented Democrat

I have thought about Texas politics since 1963---

My biggest thought these days is that the BOYS are saving Rick for 2016 because there's still enough O'Bs to possibly keep him in---

I was just over at the County seat here for a property tax thing and was looking at the pics of all the USA presidents---can't describe my inner feelings as I thought about the history of OUR COUNTRY and WORLD as I went around the room.

I do have to suggest that for everybody, if any where near you is the Presidential pictures are posted , go and take a half hour and review/rever the past----

What a "REVOLTING DEVELOPMENT".

Someone told me once that Indiana has no property taxs for seniors. Now that would be nice.

our schools are funded by property tax. right now mine are over 3k a year. but i have a dispute on 20 acres that was pulled from ag. when i get it back in they wont be as bad. i have 40 acres and have 24 on my homestead .
oklahoma has very low taxes. many people have moved from dallas across the river to oklahoma.

but ours do freeze at 65

Lots of folks migrate to Arkansas, too.

Dave my neighbors moved to New York, upstate in the woods and built their dream retirement house there. Only to find out the school taxes made them have to go back to work. They eventually had to selll their dream home in the woods. It just sucks that people work their whole lives to try and retire in peace, then the icrease your tax crowd(that by the way don't pay the taxes for proerty or any other) reap your benefits and mine. Chaps the ass!

OK, lets talk about Jet Blue-----

The captain did not interfere with the flight crew---the flight crew mutied!!!!!

The captain is the person signed the papers for the flight and he is in control---he is the ONLY person who cannot be charger with interferance of athe flight crew---

Jerry it looks like JetBlue have shut themselves up as well as shut down the the crew as to what really happened. The captain may be in charge - but, and this is all I've been able to find so far, if he's incapacitated, which from all of the reports he had mentally had a problem, "others" took over and possibly prevented a major incident. We'll have to see how that plays out when it does finally become actual public knowledge. It sounds like Osbon is still in a Texas jail

I do not disagree that other crew members took over from a incapacitated crew member----however---The Captain is the Captain , same as on a ship on the high seas and he can't be charged with interfering with a flight crew--

He told the first officer to take over right after lift off and with a 2 man crew , they should of landed immediatedly, not 2000 miles later in Texas(Texas has nothing to do with this)

However, the actions (non action) of the airline, will all most guarantee that this airline's pilots will join ALPA, strictly for there legal protection-------

I find that George Will is often a voice of reason in a sea of insanity, and I enjoy reading his insights on the situation of the world, or sometimes even the situation of baseball. His summation statement today rings true for me:

For the next decade, American politics will turn on this truth: Slowing the growth of the entitlement state is absolutely necessary and intensly unpopular. George Will, April 8,2012.

Look back at post #256, Mike. That's a great quote, too!!

The Supreme Court Justices asked some very interesting questions, especially of the government's lawyer!!! Justice Roberts asked if it's legal to require everyone to have medical insurance, would it then be legal to require everyone to have a cell phone??? His point being the constitutionality of the government mandating it's citizens to buy things. Probably be June before we here the outcome, but it didn't sound good for the law's supporters!!!!! Proud to say that South Dakota is in the group of states that brought the case to challenge the law!!!

Something has to be done about all the health care issues in this country, but this law only creates more chaos in an already chaotic system!!!!

Since we live in Mass. this really hits home for me as we were part of the minority who were run over with the Romney steam roller when they snuck this one in. And no-one outside of the state will know the reality of the mess this whole system is in. It's a fools errand to attempt to even use "your insurance"! The red tape and mis-management is horrible and what's worse, the "people" on welfare actually have a better plan! In this state, your better off going un-employed and onto welfare! The state will get you an apartment, get you a fridge, put food in it and give you electric power and a phone! Why go to work?!?!

I have nothing but utter contempt for Romney and am saddened that he looks to be the front runner for the GOP.

And your analogy of the cell phone is close to what we were saying back when they shoved this upon us. Romney and the "other guy" are just 2 sides of the same mirror in my opinion.. I also feel a lot of despair when I think of this country's future, we're doomed I think!
