They are all just lying through their teeth. I really think Netanyahu wants to blow Iran off the face of the Earth as do many Republicans. They would do it if they had the chance. Our right wing politicians are EXTREMELY radical and dangerous. Much more dangerous than Iran.

They would not have given her all that money if they really believed she was going to be tough on them. I suspect she is winking at them as she gives all this tough rhetoric. What do you think?
Is Hillary really going to be tough on Wall Street?

Saw this as a child back in the 70's and I am glad I did. It shaped my view of slavery the correct way, unlike the text books from Southern states and the racist education system of the South that have done so much damage over the years.

Slaves were the earliest form of social security and everybody loves social security. It was a dream! The slaves got top-knotch medical treatment, so, you know, they could continue working long, grueling hours doing hard labor for no money.

Old history book taught students that slaves had it great until ‘Radicals’ ruined everything.

Rachel Parent, Nutrition House and the Sneaky Organic Propaganda
This has some pretty fascinating info about Rachel Parent and her father, CEO of Nutrition House, a health store franchise in Canada worth over $14 million annually. Yes Monsanto sucks and I am sure does plenty of shady business practices but the other side is just as dishonest if not more and also trying to line their pockets. They also have very little, if any science on their side.
Here is the website he was talking about: http://debunkingdenialism.com/2014/12/20/why-rachel-parent-is-wrong-about-genetically-modified-foods/

TYT: Anti-Gay Marriage Clerks Won't Do Their Jobs
July 11, 2015
A County Clerk in Kentucky is forcing a showdown with that states Governor. And the Constitution. Casey Davis seems to think that his religious beliefs trump the law of the land. He has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Governor Steve Beshear ordered the public servant to do his job or resign. Davis refuses to do either. He met with the Governor one-on-one on Thursday and remained defiant afterward. After his meeting with the Governor, Davis spoke to the media:
This morning, I advised Mr. Davis that I respect his right to his own personal beliefs regarding same-sex marriages. However, when he was elected, he took a constitutional oath to uphold the United States Constitution. According to the United States Supreme Court, the Constitution now requires that governmental officials in Kentucky and elsewhere must recognize same-sex marriages as valid and allow them to take place. One of Mr. Davis duties as county court clerk is to issue marriage licenses, and the Supreme Court now says that the United States Constitution requires those marriage licenses to be issued regardless of gender. Mr. Davis own county attorney has advised him that his oath requires him to do so.
