I do work in research engineering, taking research findings and t***slating them into comprehensible language.

Fox News averages 60% falsehoods, MSNBC and NBC averages 44% falsehoods. So they both LIE, but Fox News lies more often/about more things. This equates to Fox News telling 36.36363636363637% more lies than MSNBC/NBC, or MSNBC/NBC telling 26.666666666666668% less lies than Fox News.

Just more FACTS.

I will occasionally open a site in an incognito window just to see what I'm NOT missing!

Same here - I haven't seen an ad in years!

You use a lot of words but make no sense.

Please show me where EXACTLY I stated/alluded to "conservatives as wanting smaller government as though that issue supersedes all others." I'll wait patiently...

Show me where EXACTLY I used "selective facts." It is a FACT that the DOJ is suing for violations of Title IX. It is a FACT that the conservative party claims to believe in smaller government. I'll wait patiently...

Show me where EXACTLY I used "broad generalizations where that suits your argument." It is a FACT that the current conservative party touts smaller government as a part of the ideology, and have been doing so since Reagan said "Government is not a solution to our problem; government is the problem" in his first inaugural address on January 20, 1981. I'll wait patiently...

Show me where EXACTLY I said anything for or against secure borders. I'll wait patiently...

I'm a wordsmith by occupation, I choose my words very carefully, and I think through my statements prior to committing them to posterity. I am not, however, responsible for the audience that chooses to try and twist my words against me.

I would not have even entered into this discussion except for the statement "obama's Justice Department sues anyone who is not of their ideology. No surprise with this one either." Since the Obama DOJ is suing to enforce a law that CONSERVATIVES CHAMPIONED and was signed by RICHARD M. NIXON, it's silly to blame the enforcement of that law on the Obama administration's ideology - they are merely doing the bidding of CONSERVATIVES.

I will always respond to ignorance, silliness, double-standards/hypocrisy, and outright misinformation.

I prefer not to take a stand on either side of the political spectrum on a public forum - stating FACTS does not make one a liberal or conservative, it makes them a speaker of FACTS. For example, stating the FACT that cities are not obligated to enforce US i*********n l*w, therefore are not violating US i*********n l*w by not doing so, is merely stating a FACT, not taking a political stance. FACTS are neutral.

Stating FACTS is also not an attack on anyone in any manner. While any person may choose to not LIKE the FACT, stating such FACT is not an attack upon that person.

The reply was pointing out that the DOJ is defending a law championed by conservatives, a law that GREW the government rather than shrinking it. That makes the point of conservatives claiming they want smaller government a legitimate part of the discussion.

I will NOT refrain from posting relevant FACTS when I respond to a thread - if FACTS bother you then feel free to use the much-loved IGNORE feature on me, because one thing that is guaranteed is that I deal in FACTS, not hyperbole.

They are suing on the basis of a law signed by Richard M Nixon in 1972 called Title IX of the educational amendments.

Sanctuary cities are not violating US i*********n l*w because they have no authority to prosecute people for violating US I*********n L*w. that is strictly a federal offense. US i*********n l*w does NOT require cities to ask someone to prove they are here legally, nor to arrest them if they are not here legally.

It seems that conservatives want "smaller government!" EXCEPT that they keep insisting that the government be involved in more and more things everyday. At least take a position and stand by it - show some actual conviction of thought. If you want smaller government then stop complaining when cities refuse to do the job of the federal government, and stop supporting the passing of more and more laws that affect where people pee, who they marry, what kind of sex they have. It really reveals the "smaller government!" cry as nothing but a smoke screen.

I'm certain that all of you are intelligent enough to see, if you will only allow yourselves to, how the words and the actions of the "smaller government!" crowd are at total opposition to each other.

I'm certain that since you "see it not as a money issue" that you are willing to pay increased taxes to support such a program? The FACTS are that welfare recipients are not huge consumers of illegal drugs, and EVERY STATE that has implemented drug testing has found the same TRUTH.

Every single state that has implemented drug testing for welfare has LOST MORE MONEY on the testing than they saved by catching people using drugs on welfare.

Repeating the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity...

Thanks for the heads up.

Based on Palin's track record of failing at everything she tries, I would say that Ryan has nothing to worry about.

If Palin were supporting Ryan though, then he should worry.

If I am proven wrong about who will be president (Clinton or Sanders) I will come here and PUBLICLY ADMIT that I don't know s**t about politics - are you willing to do the same?
