[Insurance Car] Opinion: The GOP's Lies And 'Monstrous' Lies: These lies are grievous since they are not one-offs, but are middle to the GOP case–that Social Security (except, they are rapid to add, for those currently on it) and the impulse outline don’t work.

[FrontPage Magazine] The 'Ponzi' Sound Bite | FrontPage Magazine: However, what I don't like about Rick Perry is the fact that he is an Islamopanderer the same way that GWB and Obama both are as well, the fact that he is exceedingly weak on border security, the fact that under his governorship he provides illegal immigrants in state tuition discounts and financial assistance, and the fact that he supports pathways to amnesty which, of course, he doesn't call amnesty. Hence, Rick Perry will not get my vote under any circumstances whatsoever and even if he does win the Republican nomination, as I'm not a Republican, but instead a conservative independent and sorry but he doesn't pass my smell test.

[newunionism's Blog] Organizing: The Arts and Sciences: Representation is the most visible and prominent type of union work.  Representation covers a range of activities that confronts or engages employers and legislators in an attempt to gain concessions and victories. Representation gets the lion’s share of resources and is what most people have come to understand as the totality of union activity: negotiating and enforcing contracts, settling grievances, lobbying politicians and influencing electoral campaigns, filing lawsuits, enforcing legal and safety regulations and, more rarely but more notoriously, leading demonstrations, strikes and job actions.
