one should not have to be 'assisted' to go to college.....there is something completely wrong with the system and the validation the system uses....much like 'raising up' a veteran to special tax discounts.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
If you are a Republican Politician and also a Catholic, you have come to understand lately that GOD, or at least his personal representative on earth, Pope Francis, is in total disagreement with the GOP and their policy.
One of the high points of 2014 was the way Pope Francis started to redirect the church's dogma away from being radical social conservatives to a more enlightened and less conservative religious organization and Republicans in the US are not happy at all.
To say it's causing a rift between the two is an understatement. Pope Francis is increasingly driving a wedge between conservatives and the Catholic Church. The magnetic pope has sparked new enthusiasm around the world for the church and has flexed his political muscles internationally, most recently by helping to engineer a new relationship between the United States and Cuba.
But Francis’s agenda, which also includes calls to address income inequality and limit climate change, is putting him at odds with Republicans, including GOP Catholics in the United States. Hours after President Obama announced moves to ease trade and travel restrictions to Cuba, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a practicing Catholic and potential 2016 presidential candidate, criticized the deal and Francis's role in it. “I would also ask His Holiness to take up the cause of freedom and democracy, which is critical for a free people, for a people to truly be free,” Rubio told reporters.
Listening to Republicans cry about human rights is always ludicrous, as they revel in torture, the death penalty and the police state, but it's been a blessing that Pope Francis is having as profound effect as he has so far.
Since his papal inauguration in March 2013, the pontiff has publicly made policy remarks about income inequality and the environment that many American Catholics weren't used to hearing coming from the Vatican, and not just from the pulpit.
“Inequality is the root of social evil,” Francis tweeted in March, after months earlier slamming “trickle-down” economics as a “crude and naïve” theory.
Next year, as part of a speech he’ll give to the United Nations General Assembly, Francis will issue an edict urging the world's 1.2 billion Catholics to do what they can to fight climate change

I think we've known for a long time that GOD LOVES THE DEMOCRATS!

Box, poor and middle class whites voted for Obama and A democrat controlled congress in 2008. The results 6 years later is the gap between the rich and poor and middle class at a historic levels.
Please, who should have those poor and middle class voted for if a black president, a woman Speaker of the House, and a senior citizen Senate Majority Leader passed legislation that made the rich richer, and poor poorer? Who picked their pockets? See Graph Below.
Who did they vote for in 2010 Cissy? Who did they vote for in 2014? They voted against their own best interest. Who makes the laws in the USA??? The president???

President signs laws...remember? Not enough Republicans to override a veto. Remember the whole repeal Obamacare thing the republicans tried with no success? I think 36% of the people voted against their interests because they are seeing how great voting democrat served their interests.
Word of advise Boxy. Go get yourself a mechanical keyboard.
All that copy and paste of these pics from your propaganda sites is going to end up damaging your standard keyboard.
It will become more apparent in the next days/weeks/months as your rage builds and you start hitting the CTRL, C and P keys harder and harder.

Here Bucky, maybe this will help you understand your uncontrolled anger at others:
PROJECTION: Projection is when you attributes your own feelings or thoughts to someone else and often passing judgment on the other person.

Yes. ObamaCare passed both houses and was signed into law. The Republican House then voted... I think it was 54 times, to end that law, but failed to gain the necessary votes in the Senate to kill ObamaCare. To my knowledge, there was no Obama Veto involved in any of those proceedings.
They do now have the necessary votes to kill ObamaCare. It will be interesting to see if they again attempt to end it.
