House approves ban on union pay deductions
The main purpose of this bill is to shut down any organized opposition to the people who voted for it.
The courts have decided that donating money to PACs is 'free speech'; so the so-called republicans in the House have voted to deny these teachers their free speech.
Big government at its worst.

Since when should we allow facts to change our beliefs? Especially when money, power and prestige are involved.

Conservatives changing state government
So, the "Don't Tread On Me" crowd is now consolidating their power by treading on everyone else. So much for shouting "FREEDOM!" and "LESS GOVERNMENT!" all these years.
The truth comes out:
All liars...only interested in money, power and prestige.

Editorial: Growing 'cost'
I'm sure glad republicans don't want big government to play a greater role in the lives of people...oh, but what about vaginal sonograms??? ...and what about republicans wanting to place big government between women and their doctors?? ...and what about republicans wanting big government to only interfere with labor union's political speech but not commerce's political speech??? ...and what about republicans wanting big government to make some people have to wait in long lines just to vote???
The American Taliban's...err...oops..the Tea Party's slogan is: "Don't tread on me as I tread on you".

Letter: Union attack
The big story here is that Tea party conservatives really don't believe in freedom.
Every public union member ought to buy a "Don't tread on me" flag or bumper sticker.

Letter: Call to action
With global warming being a highly technical topic that few of us lay people can adequately comprehend, we end up tending to believe those we know.
Enter the TYPE 1/TYPE 2 error situation. Generally, when faced with a problem, and in the face of no other knowledge other than we have to make a choice, we face making one of two kinds of errors: Type 1 or Type 2. A Type 1 error occurs when you decide to act only to find out later that there was no real problem; a Type 2 error occurs when you decide to not act only to find out there was a real problem.
Conservatives, and conservatives especially, should consider the consequences of making a Type 1 or Type 2 error with respect to global warming. Realize that making either decision requires making the decision before all the data can be correctly analyzed.
What are the consequences of making a Type 1 error with respect to global warming? Are you willing to have you, and your children, face those consequences?
Now consider what are the consequences of making a Type 2 error with respect to global warming? Are you willing to have you, and your children, face those consequences?

If it ever goes to the Supreme Court, hopefully the conservative judges will interpret the 2nd Amendment as envisioned by the original writers and only allow flintlocks and ban everything else.
