    The White House
    18 May 2013 | 2:00 am

    President Obama says that because Republicans in Congress allowed a series of harmful, automatic budget cuts—called the sequester—to take effect, important programs like Head Start are now forced to reduce their services. After travelers were stuck for hours in airports and on planes this past week, members of Congress passed a temporary band-aid measure to stop the cuts that impact airlines — but they must do more to stop cuts to vital services for the American people. That’s why it’s time for a balanced approach to deficit reduction that makes smarter cuts and reforms in the tax…

    Suggestions for Obama

  • Capital Punishment

    James Adams
    5 May 2013 | 6:40 pm
    Where do I stand on capital punishment? Either we put, by national referendum, a seven-year moratorium on capital punishment as a social experiment and see what happens to the quality of American life in that time period, or we just kill’em all who are found guilty of committing capital crimes and let God sort ‘em out. They will either go to heaven or hell, or if the atheists are right, there will be nothing more upon them. Out with the old, in with the new! Either way, Jesus is coming soon to judge the living and the dead, or so I am told. Location: Peoria, IL USA

    I am wondering if it would be lawful in America if the federal gov’t. would be violating the first amendment if the US gov’t. were to take as an official stance as an agnostic government? And if so, I am also wondering if we could stop using both God and Jesus Christ, at the constitutional level via constitutional amendment, as a political bargaining chip. I am a Christian, and I personally always did find the hypocrisy of such a thing as quite offensive come election year, and would like to see such things come to an end.
