I have to admit, that's pretty noble. Now answer me this: without big, bad government to make sure that workers have these rights recognized, and to make sure that employers abide by them, what good are these laws? What good is this noble position of yours when anybody you ever vote for is going to do exactly the opposite?
I never claimed to be unbiased. I can think of very few conservative political positions that don't strike me as inhumane, petty, self-absorbed and/or destructive. The leaders of American conservatism are engaged in one-upping each other to see who can come up with the worst ideas and who can come up with the best justification for harming other people. The relatively sane and humane bunch are derided as RINOs.Quote:What good is this noble position of yours when anybody you ever vote for is going to do exactly the opposite?...and what are the people you vote for doing? If democrats were so eager to help American workers beyond lip service there would be more than just one or two states in this country that have "just cause" protection laws. If Barack and the democrats were so eager to stand behind America's union workers beyond more lip service they could have repealed the CSRA for federal employees that Jimmy Carter signed into legislation. The democrats and Barack had control of the White House and of both houses of Congress in the first two years of his administration.
Quote:I never claimed to be unbiased....and you attack me with your hypocrisy...as far as I'm concerned, nothing you say holds any credibility at all since your aim is to reject and argue against any and all that doesn't agree with your political bias.

I don't accept Fox News sources because I've seen enough Fox News. Regardless, until there is a court-martial, none of this does anything to raise him above the position of "suspected," and my point was that you're all too eager to just abandon him there based simply on that. There's a reason we don't sentence people at the beginning of trials.
Which is why I put links to other sources, given your obvious bias to reject anything that doesn't agree with you.

Perhaps the likes of AT would have lobbied to leave JM to rot.
To hell with military justice, eh AT?
This is just another Benghazi for you, ghoul.
Hey, anyone remember when McCain thought trading prosoners for POWs was a great idea?

As late as December of 2013 there was a deal in the works, through Pakistan, that the obama administration was working out to pay money to the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl. The administration suddenly scrapped that deal and opted for the prisoner exchange of five high level Taliban terrorists instead. Which would have been preferable to you, 1). risk the lives of more servicemen to search for Bergdahl 2). trade five high level Taliban terrorists for Bergdahl 3). or just continue with the deal that barack started and pay the money to the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl?
