    Somebody tell me when the author of the O/P actually addresses what's being said.

    I read Breitbart quite frequently via my Feedly news app. Drudge is simply a collection of news articles unflattering to the Dems.

    Easy--If you say you are the party of smaller government and less governmental intrusion it makes perfect sense.

    Well, I would like to know the H.R. bill that is supposed to make it a firing offense to ask co-workers about their wages.

    No one said it is an HR bill.

    I know you have said that about Drudge before but it is just not true. It appears you do not really go there nor have you but just have read about. I have more than 10 news sources I visit regularly. Drudge lists both conservative and liberal sources.

    Yes, Drudge LISTS both conservative and liberal sources. But their featured news articles in their three columns are mostly unflattering to Democrats. Certainly their lead stories in column 1 fit that description.

    Here is Drudge's lead story from Column 1:

    That's NOT unflattering to Dems?


    I use Google Newsstand App and Feedly News App and I've got about a dozen news sources that I read. They are highly customizable and a very convenient way to get the news.

    Yeah. It's also the truth. If he doesn't want to be displayed on a webpage having a meltdown, he should endeavor not to have a meltdown. Controlling his facial expressions might be a good idea, too.

    BY the way it is very dishonest to pull the Holder story. There are a number of featured stories and the switch out throughout the day. Not all of them are unflattering to the DNC.

    Equal Pay for Equal work - exactly what does that mean.

    Two clerks do the same job at a store - one makes $9/hr, another $10 - the difference is that one has been there two years longer.

    Thus that is NOT equal pay for equal work

    "Slapped"? More like saved small business and mining companies from going bankrupt, and corporations and businesses of all sizes from being forced to justify their in-house hiring and payroll decisions to some faceless government panel with a Marxist agenda. Let's look at your "examples":
    The minimum wage is the only variable expense an employer has available to themselves to control costs. If the minimum wage is raised anywhere from 30% to 52%, depending on which local, regional, or national proposal you want to look at, the employer -- particularly small business -- has only two choices: Eat the loss and considerably lower personal earnings, or lower the cost of employees. Please tell me why a small business owner should be expected to live just above the poverty level so his/her employees don't have to? That's ignorant. Capitalism is structured in such a way that the business owner will almost always act in their own self-interest and seek to maximize profit. You don't like that, tough. It is what has made this country great.
    Miners are already protected from the medical expense of black lung through court cases and medical insurance clauses from 30 years ago. Your not knowing this isn't surprising, nor does it indicate you might actually know what you're talking about -- in fact, quite the opposite. The mine safety regulations proposed by the Little Marxist Dictator and his henchmen in Congress have a single, solitary purpose: To put coal mining companies out of business. That has been his agenda since 2009. In 2006, there were over 82,000 employed in the coal mining industry, and putting that many people out of work, forcing that many business into bankruptcy, would make his grossly incompetent handling of the economy look like a 2,000 point rise in the stock market. But by all means, support the effort! Tells us a lot about you that you ignored these facts to make a bogus point against Republicans.
    We've covered this in two or three different threads the last couple days. You ignore facts, you twist statistics, you bloviate DNC talking points in the face of irrefutable reality. You do your party well -- that is, if they don't mind being seen as completely clueless, uninformed, and disingenuous. But you are just one of several figures, most far more infamous than you, that indicate through such dense, incompetent, ill-informed statements that they apparently don't mind wearing that image. Done here.

    Yes, and the one who was there two years longer was a woman being paid $9 while the one with less seniority was a man and thus paid $10.

    The Republicans take to equality the same way Elizabeth Taylor took to marriage.

    BIG difference between having non - descriptive links to stories and having headlines with summaries, photos and a link to the story.

    To you there is I am sure, but even the idea that those are all conservative or whatever you want to call it is false. Maybe you should actually go to drudge.
