Earlier this week, Indiana became the first state to completely cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. Diane and the panelists discuss what the move might mean for the organization and whether similar laws might be passed in other states run by Republican governors. "It's clearly an agenda that's moving from state to state," Politico's Jeanne Cummings said:

"It gets you, doesn't it, that under Obama it truly is "Mission Accomplished! I don't recall you being so hesitant to give Bush credit for our "victories" in Iraq and Afghanistan when he was in charge. (And, of course, Republi-Cons like you never blamed him for failing to prevent 9/11!)
Of course, had this mission failed you would never stop blaming Obama (Republi-Cons still attack Jimmy Carter every chance they get)."
Where is the "Mission Accomplished", just heard that 84 policeman were killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan? Retaliation as promised by Al-Quida.
Have you not forgotten Etaoin that OBL was offered up by Sudan during the Clinton era three times? But this was around the time Clinton and Monica affair's was made public and he was too involved to clear his name leaving OBL on the back burner.
Just think Etaoin if we would of gotten him them, we would not be having this discussion.

His last post makes it clear that he does not even understand the concept of a republic. State and local governments can provide public education if they choose. In the purview of the Federal government, it's unconstitutional. Duh.”
Well, eggie old chum, let’s see what Black’s Law Dictionary (Revised Fourth Edition) has to say on the “concept of a republic”:
REPUBLIC. A commonwealth; that form of government in which the administration of affairs is open to all citizens.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT. A government in the republican form; a government of the people; a government by representatives chosen by the people.
Care to tell me where in either definition it says anything about education?
I am a (retired) lawyer, sir, and know something about the subject. You, on the other hand, demonstrate constantly the hazard of someone trying to practice law without a license.
Oh, and it apparently escaped your notice that my earlier Comment (May 13, 2011 @ 1:31 pm) discussed both State and Federal support for public education (the majority being State based). Not to mention that the topic in question was whether such support constituted Socialism (not whether it was constitutional).
So, once again, we see you doing your best to evade and avoid the point, while throwing a little character assassination in for good measure. But that’s okay, you discredit yourself every time.
As for the Federal role in public education: well, I’m not a fan of the Department of Education, and I support repeal of “No Child Left Behind”. So, once again the facts refute your accusations!
P.S. - I came across this webpage today by accident (I was looking for something else), but I couldn’t resist responding to this piece of nonsense. Don’t worry folks, I don’t have time to respond to all the rest. Maybe another time.
Ciao!
