    What is Comey going to say that is so stunning? 

    I have read his statements. Unless he comes up with something different in person,  it will be complaining by the Dems for the sake of complaining. 

    I've also read that if he says Trump tried to interfere, or obstruct his investigation (whether he did or didn't actually do it) he will put himself in legal trouble. It is a felony to not report a felony.... so if Trump did obstruct justice (a felony) and Comey didn't immediately report it then he has also committed a felony.........much ado about nothing.... more Dem stipidity and waste of money....Comey will not put himself in that position, therefore nothing will be said othe than perhaps basic criticism.

    That's why I said each situation should be looked at for its situation! I agree with ST413 you cant group together what you grouped together.

    I can't? So, you would be willing to give a second chance to someone who did any of the things I listed, to your family? I'm not trying to pick a fight, just saying that I'm not going to be very forgiving to someone who beats, rapes or robs anyone. Those aren't "mistakes" those crimes are true reflections of the person inside, and can not be rehabilitated. And, like I said, the VICTIM, certainly doesn't get a second chance.

    What annoys me is when people who have no ties to the kids or the programs try to give their opinions without knowing all the facts or the situations of these kids. Yes football is an extra curricular activity and athletes are held to a higher standard. Athletic programs are educational programs also. An opportunity for coaches who are also educators to instill life lessons into these kids and make them better adults who will be entering adulthood in the very near future. Each situation should be looked at for its situation. Kids come from different backgrounds. Some have both parents at home. Some have one parent at home. Some have no parents at home. At the end of the day, its not about sports, its about the kids. There should be consequences! There should be discipline! There should be forgiveness!  If he screws up once, who helped make a difference? If he screwed up twice, who helped make a difference? There should be an opportunity to right the wrong! If there are 200 kids in the program and the coaches have an opportunity to change 1 kids life, that is what it is about! To have a kid comeback 10-15-20 years later and say thank you coach! You changed my life, Kicking the kid to the curb is not always the correct thing to do! Taking the one thing that may bring structure to a kids life is not always the answer. Instead of being critical and demanding of what should be done, be part of the solution! Kids need mentors! Leaders! Both fellow teammates and adults. I know a lot of the kids who are Sophs, Jrs, And Srs all over SETX at this time from BMT, Lumb, WOS, NED, Vid, & PNG. No one school is immune! No one kid is immune! No one family is immune! I am hear to help make a difference in anyone of their lives! Step up! Man Up! Lead!

    So how do the VICTIMS get the chance to "right the wrong"? If a persons "screw up" affects another human being - I say no second chances. If it were along the lines of alcohol or drug use - maybe. But when one person beats / rapes / robs another - to late, you have affected another persons life forever - now it's your turn to pay the lifelong consequence that you've chosen to impose on another due to your choices.

  4. BLM is certainly a hate group - even the decent people who thought it might actually be for a good cause are coming out against them....of course that makes them racist and an uncle Tom....

    “I had a debate with one of the lead organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement in St. Paul,” Turner said. “His name was Brian Allen and during this debate with him, I was called a racist, and I was called an Uncle Tom because I said that blacks need to address the killing of each other just like they need to address the killings by police.”

    "whatever reason"?   Tell us what the reason was?    

    Let's say....I had a birthday....And pertaining to another post of yours.......NO...I doubt serious I would still drive...sure, I'd find the best way to help my family......you seem to draw a line at "anything short of stealing" Why is that? the law is the law...not to mention, that coming here illegally and taking form of benefit is in fact stealing...be it a form of welfare or even if you actually work for it.......you are stealing "an opportunity" from a legal resident or worse an AMERICAN.

     

    In addition to all of the reason I've given and others......one of my biggest beefs with this topic is assimilation......you see foreign flags everywhere during protest and/or even celebrations......and days dedicated to holidays  that aren't even "Mexican" holidays not that would matter...... May 5th is equivalent to Texas Independence Day.....the entire US does not recognize and/or celebrate that day...so why would we recognize a Mexican State independence day in ......perhaps they should put more focus on JULY 4TH...

    there's a difference between coming here legally and becoming a legal citizen.  It is not difficult to come over here, or do it legally.  becoming a citizen is the part that is nearly impossible.  most of the illegal aliens that are currently in the country came here through legal channels. 

    ??? ASSUMING you mean by way of some sort of visa - then let them expire. Then that begs the question - why would they do that?

    the path to citizenship is ridiculous.  If you make it next to impossible, most people are going to do what they have to improve their lives.  I'm not excusing their actions, but I certainly understand them.

    Apparently it isn't that difficult . .. many many many came here and are currently coming here legally. Perhaps you are confusing difficult with lazy and not smart enough......and we want those people, why?

    This isn't meant to be combative...I feel this is a very real question, as it pertains to the welfare of our country.

    Where is a cite to the research confirming 70% of undocumented people in the United States are receiving government assistance?  I know undocumented people who work, pay taxes, contribute to the economy, and they do not receive a dime of government assistance.  Of the people I know that are undocumented, you would think that I would have come across at least one who received government assistance.  Not so.  Several undocumented people actually work...they don't all show up and cry for government assistance.  Likewise, I know there are cases of citizens who abuse government programs.  Perhaps start there, since you can document them, i.e., find them, and clean up that area of abuse.

    I'm guessing most on this board would be opposed to a streamlined program that would enable undocumented people to begin a path to citizenship?  Just out of principle, you would be opposed to that?  What if the undocumented person could prove he/she worked and paid taxes?  Could they have a pathway to citizenship?

    Go Indians.  Peace.

     

    There is already a path to citizenship.....but that isn't good enough......apparently! Not to mention, if some have been here for as long as some claim, then the long wait issue shouldn't work for t hem.....you've had plenty of time......short answer...yes "The front door"

    Racism and most aspects of the conservative movement are closely related.

    This is the hidden content, please

    Then you're going to have to explain this. It is amazing how the liberal mind works. Most A-Listers are considered good liberals - as are most blacks.........yet...A-Listers exclude blacks in their award programs (whitewashing as they call it) 

    I could provide other links on similar subjects - Milo at Berkley (Gay man) no liberal tolerance - AND defend Muslims who want to kill the gays, all the while claiming to be the champion of LGBTQ rights.....

    Hate Melania and Ivanka Trump - YET defend Muslims who demean women and other women who attack other very successful women..... yet claim to be the champion of women's rights.

    the onus is on the person who posts the article to prove it's authenticity.  it's funny how someone can post something on here from a questionable source, and then everyone slaps each other's back and agrees how great or awful it is (depending on who it criticizes), and when someone questions it, they're expected to prove it false, rather than the other way around.  I had trouble reading the link that was posted in the breithbart article because of how poorly written it was, and how obvious of a hit piece it was, rather than an actual objective news story.  I'm fairly certain a lot of folks on here just read the title to the threads, without ever reading the article, much less following the links to find the original story, and then form strong opinions on the issue.

    as for conservative view points, how about Texas' continued effort to purge the teaching of evolution in our schools?

     

    Because evolution is a flawed theory. Not to mention put out by the same people who claim global warming is man made.....that's not teaching or rejecting ideology....that's rejecting "flawed science" aka. facts!

  11. The issue (if any) would be cultural adjustments, not much unlike 2 people who marry of different religions or lack of.....I can certainly understand the thinking that some use kids as an excuse. With that said, if two people are truly devout Christian and __________ (fill in blank.. Muslim, Atheist, etc) how would you raise your kids? To believe, not to believe, or what to believe....same could even be true of two Christians of different denominations........relationships are hard enough....I personally can't understand intentionally adding to that difficulty.......On that note...my daughter dates a black guy....very well educated, (working on his masters) respectful, and fun to be around........we have spent time with our whole family and his whole family....taken him on multiple family vacations....great guy!
