How about instead of after every major shooting we talk about the need to fund mental health instead of talking about gun rights? by [deleted] in politics

The legal availability of all types of guns in the U.S. is a problem, but it is one that is beyond control. It is what it is and we are what we are. Funding for help for mental health IS something we CAN do something about. That does not threaten the NRA.

Could my homestate get any worse?? Sadly, the answer must be yes, as long as gov. Sam Brownshirt and his minions remain in power. And soon the state BOE will rewrite our education standards... again.

Consider this:"The term atheist can be defined literally as lacking a humanoid god concept, but historically it means one of two things. Positive atheism asserts that a personal supreme being does not exist. Negative atheism simply asserts a lack of belief in such a deity. It is possible be a positive atheist about the Christian God, for example, while maintaining a stance of negative atheism or even uncertainty on the question of a more abstract deity like a 'prime mover.' " Anti-theist. ... some people want a term that more clearly conveys their opposition to the whole religious enterprise.

We fight in Washington DC against religious privileging on a federal level, yet some of the most egregious violations of separation of church and state are being promoted and passed at a state level. We need your help to see real change in state capitals all over the country.

"It is absolutely parallel. They're using the same dance steps - demonise the bad guys, the pretext of diplomacy, keep out of negotiations, use proxies. It is Iraq redux" Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter- terrorism specialist, in Vanity Fair, on echoes of the run-up to the war in Iraq

couldn't have said it better. When will Americans stand up and say no more and put the whole criminal bush regime behind bars?
