An absolutely phenomenal speech.
@arpowers No, not really. If I share a photo from Nextgen gallery it won't show a preview in Facebook. It loads other photos from the page but not the one from Nextgen. It seems to be a pretty common problem with Nextgen. I'm hoping your gallery has this function. I want to put 100's of photos in one gallery and share them to Facebook, individually. Thanks.
How easily can I share photos to Facebook? That's all I really want to be able to do. Currently, Nextgen gallery is not working out well for me in showing the picture preview on my Facebook Page.
The entire military budget needs to be dramatically reduced. What it is 60% of the budget nowadays? Sheez.
The truth is Obama is just as much of a warmonger as George Bush. The only difference between the two is their rhetoric.
Obama is a complete failure as president. He may start new agencies to protect consumers or prevent genocide but everyone knows he's has actually accomplished nothing. He better veto CISPA. I can't see any informed voter voting for him otherwise.
We should not go to war with Syria. We need to get the heck out of the middle east.
This is a ridiculous article. The military budget has tripled under Bush and Obama. Their foreign policy is really no different. Obama may be drawing down troops in Afghanistan/Iraq, but he's just moving them around the Middle East and Africa. The DOD budget doesn't represent the full scale of what we spend on the military, and that has even double since 2005. The Neocon strategy does not work and it's bankrupting the US.
@KenBjornbak @MichaelRosensweig You ought to try applying that logic to the lies of both Republicans and Democrats, and not simply to counter the party you seem to disagree with more.
@KenBjornbak If Obama or the Republicans believe in civil liberties they wouldn't have passed the bill. Why have checks and balances if the president won't exercise his power to veto bills that are not in the interest of American citizens? Your argument is partisan hogwash. Sounds like someone trying to convince himself it's still okay to vote for Obama, when it obviously isn't. Your argument says Obama is not responsible for his own actions and is no way morally accountable for his own actions. He knows infinite detention is morally wrong, he said so himself. It is also unconstitutiona. In America we believe in the judicial process and innocence until proven guilty, do we not? Obama simply doesn't have the backbone or the balls to be a real leader.
We ought to be very concerned with the ever increasing power of the executive branch.
I find it interesting you post a quote that actually makes Rand Paul look like he's standing up for Americans, yet you criticize him for it. He's worried about Americans who are doing good work to help the disadvantaged via NGOs, and the US government (namely McCain and Harry Reid) are giving up our US sovereignty to Interpol which will possibly seek to imprison innocent US civilians. I find this a lot more important than a US Postal Service which is going to die eventually, whether it's tomorrow, a year, or five years from now. There are many other ways to mail things nowadays.
