Sorry, but this has to be an act, no professor of chem/physic can be this dense. Provide your source for the 2/3 requirement in the House for passage of a law?

As for Hurricane Sandy, please provide me with your explanation as to why those items were in the bill and why Republicans were demonized for not supporting it? Like all liberals you buy the headlines and never read the story.

You are asking me to provide you with the details on the 2/3 house requirement........but I have "never" read the story?

And just to emphasize your avoidance, you want "100%" coverage by the fed.....while you still hold that states should be doing this work?

I think you should fully explain that before you start requiring me to educate you on the House vote.


PS....when did I EVER say I was a Prof?

Actually, according to your logic, the Dems poulled a pretty good Repub by forcing so many Dem earmarks into the sandy bill. Were any of those earmarks for your team?

How are those aspects not covered under social programs?

Talk about pedantic.

I want a liberal to explain why headlines all over the country like the following demonized the Republicans who didn't vote for the Hurricane Sandy bill. I posted what was in that bill so the question is why wasn't those who voted for the bill demonized and held accountable for the pork?

What exactly did Democrats do from January 2007-January 2011 on this issue?
 
NIMBY said:
Democrats, majority, did not have complete control from 07-11, as the blanket statement you made.

Complete control means Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, control of all the Committees , and what bills get to the floor for votes. What did Democrats propose that the Republicans even could stop during that period of time in the House?

How long have you lived under the impression that you don't have to play by anyone's rules AND you believe everyone has to play by yours? If you are going to keep on avoiding explaining your own contradictions, forget about having your demands answered.

Homie don't play that.

And AGAIN I ask.....where did you get the idea that I am a Prof?

Liar, you were responding to me, not another. Just admit that you can't keep track of who you respond to, that you continue to contradict yourself on states/fed responsibilities and that you constantly demand answers but avoid answering questions posed to you.

You are right, I made a mistake and caught it, the rest of the post however does indeed relate to you and your comments. My sincere apology as I will do my best to not respond to any more of your posts.

The self stated mission of the Peace Corps is to create a positive view of American culture in the rest of the world and vice versa. That is not a social program. A social program provides services to americans in order to increase social equality.

Whining?

From rape to assault and murder, the Peace Corps' history is marred by some serious scandals. In early 2011, the Corps came under fire after an ABC News-20/20 investigation found that more than 1,000 American women had been either raped or sexually assaulted while serving overseas in the Corps. Beyond that disturbing statistic, the victims who came forward claimed that the organization knew about the assaults, did nothing to help protect the women and went as far as to blame them for the attacks.

The Peace Corps is a volunteer program run by the United States government. The stated mission of the Peace Corps includes three goals: providing technical assistance; helping people outside the United States to understand American culture; and helping Americans to understand the cultures of other countries. The work is generally related to social and economic development. Each program participant, a Peace Corps Volunteer, is an American citizen, typically with a college degree, who works abroad for a period of 24 months after three months of training. Volunteers work with governments, schools, non-profit organizations, non-government organizations, and entrepreneurs in education, hunger, business, information technology, agriculture, and the environment. After 24 months of service, volunteers can request an extension of service.[SUP][2]

The fact that volunteers have been attacked is obviously terrible, but it's not a sign of abuse or fraud in the organization.[/SUP]:peace

Complete control means filibuster-proof the whole time.

Which is why Perry is doing his own backdoor on elderly money from Obama cares. And then Perry's people try to preempt criticism playing on the "intellectually disabled". Perry has a history of this double-speak, as with taking the stim money to balance your budget.

Thank you very much for telling me what is going on in TX, too bad you have no clue as to what is going on in your own state or at the Federal level.

Now you change off to "how gov't works" after losing the "Dems didn't have 'full-control' discussion". And poor try at B/F/T with the civics course. You are not a genuine conservative. I would not blaspheme the GOP tradition of being genuine up to Nixon.

A classic difference between people like you and I. I praised you for what you said you were and did not use such words as "claim" in referring to you. You, not so much. And who would claim to be a teacher on a DP forum where fright-wingers are so disrespectful to the field and unions?

Yeah. Those are all better sources. Wiki is a survey source that actually holds up well when compared to other survey sources. It's best used only to survey. But the other three are very good sources, and largely much better than what you use.
