MGB: Where was the regard for the dignity of the unionized workforce that was given the boot when new management bought out these meat packing plants? They were hired to be paid less and to have no right to complain about safety violations. The best answer is still open borders and closed shops,. Then immigrants will only come if the job really will not be filled by an American, although I do not foresee many processors paying migrant labor a union wage. As for these poor souls, someone must have complained about working conditions or failed to pay a bribe to state or federal government. There is always corruption in the trade for human flesh.
Marc Short should have tried for a Koch funded school, like George Mason or Catholic University.
Homophobic satire on Trump will be appreciated by the gay community while it gets under the skin of both Trump and Putin and their fans. A win-win.
Trump thinks all politics are about him, as his supporters are slow to learn, if they learn at all. The fact he is working on trade shows he can't succeed anywhere else, although he is doing what he promised, as stupid as that was. Get someone onto FoxNews to explain trade policy before we all go bankrupt again.
Democrats for Life have a huge problem and they cannot finesse it by being vague. Unless they come out and say that they would criminalize abortion, the Republicans won't have them. If they don't promise not to, the Democrats don't want them. The GOP can be vague all day because they can play off against Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, who make their point for them. They have no intention of winning anything but elections. I will gladly endorse Dems for Life when they drop criminalization and go whole hog for a very generous child tax credit, condemning any right to lifer who won't. Also agreeing that Roe was rightly decided would go a long way, because it was - on on outcomes but on 14th Amendment law.
What Garvey was saying was not illegal, yet, but it will be once the courts finish the process of including gay rights as a suspect class in the Civil Rights Act of 1965. I am sure there are bishops who love what he said as well. Because the Court or the 2nd District will codify this change (which came as the result of Kennedy's decision on gay marriage), there will be no more discriminating against gay students or fire gay employees who get married, even working for the Church. Hosanna Tabor won't even help them.
Longnecker is an idiot who is best ignored, even before he delves into calumny. Because I am old I can quote the aphorism that there is no fool like an old fool. God will take care of Longnecker soon enough, assuming he goes that way.
