This is how logic works:
PROVEN: 2 + 2 = 5 - i.e. Logic can be used to create ANY answer you wish. It all depends on the assumptions you start with. Logic is a bitch.
Start with: -20 = -20
Which is the same as: 16-36 = 25-45
Which can also be expressed as: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) = 52) 9 X 5
Add 81/4 to both sides: (2+2) 2 (9 X (2+2) + 81/4 = 52) 9 X 5 + 81/4
Rearrange the terms: ({2+2}) 9/2) 2 = (5-9/2) 2
Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5
Hence: 2 + 2 = 5
Simple, no?
Note: $1.2 trillion for an outdated plan that doesn't work! = "In fact, the entire $1.2 trillion dollars that the sequester is supposed to save could be realized by cutting one unneeded, wasteful boondoggle: the $1.5 trillion F-35 fighter program. The F-35, billed as the next generation all-purpose military fighter and bomber, has been an unmitigated disaster. Its performances in recent tests have been so bad that the Pentagon has been forced to dumb-down the criteria. It is overweight, overpriced, and unwieldy. It is also an anachronism: we no longer face the real prospect of air-to-air combat in this era of 4th generation warfare. The World War II mid-air dogfight era is long over" http://the-free-foundation.org/tst3-3-2013.html

News Report: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2128217/Strict-new-Arizona-abortion-laws-decree-pregnancy-begins-TWO-WEEKS-conception.html#ixzz2142DoLv2
Extract: "Arizona lawmakers have drawn up strict new abortion laws... that decree pregnancy begins two weeks before conception. Final legislative approval was given to a bill that would ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, handing Republicans their latest win in ongoing national efforts to impose greater restrictions on abortion. But the bill defines a foetus' gestational age 'as calculated from the first day of the last [mother's] menstrual period'. This would mean, given that a woman does not produce eggs until a fortnight after her period, a baby can be terminated two weeks before it was conceived.
After Akin, GOP Makes Extreme Abortion Policy Official
In what will probably strike many people as a monumentally tone-deaf move, the GOP plans to include a plank in its 2012 platform calling for an amendment that would outlaw abortions under any circumstance. CNN reported on the draft language it obtained on Monday night, and the platform committee approved it on Tuesday:
"Faithful to the 'self-evident' truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed," the draft platform declares. "We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children."
Steve King echoes Akin
The Iowa congressman says he's never heard of someone getting pregnant from rape or incest

3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah."

1. Love God body mind and soul and 2. Love thy neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:36-40)
More religious hypocrisy...
"Let the record show that on January 16, 2012, the good people of South Carolina booed the Golden Rule."
― Jon Stewart... [Note: Golden Rule = ‘Love your neighbor as yourself'. Matthew 22:39]
Instead of the golden rule, this is what is being followed...
Numbers 31: 17-18
17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
i.e The GOP has become party of rape and war... also called "terrorists" for example:
From Washington Post Article on Peter King: "The British government is a murder machine," King said. He described the IRA, which mastered the car bomb as an instrument of urban terror, as a "legitimate force." And he compared Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing, to George Washington.
Yup. The GOP Leaders have created a party for war and rape. Rape and war have gone hand in hand historically, so I guess the GOP leaders figured why not implement it into US Law and just make it legal?
Or in other words, the Christians ONLY support the violent sort of jihad NOT the peaceful kind!
The word that everyone talks about "Holy War" is the word "Jihad" which means 'to struggle' and is clearly stated in a Hadith to be secondary to inner development/struggle i.e. Translation: 'The true holy war is within'.

"Better and more rewarding is God's reward to those who believe and put their trust in Him: who avoid gross sins and indecencies and, when angered, are willing to forgive... Let evil be rewarded by like evil, but he who forgives and seeks reconciliation shall be rewarded by God. He does not love the wrongdoers.... True constancy lies in forgiveness and patient forbearance." Islam. Qur'an 42.36-43
On Honesty:
"O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it concerns rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts of your hearts lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that you do." Islam. Qur'an 4.135
"Those who act kindly in this world will have kindness." Qur'an 39.10
Hadith: “One day (at the time of the Prophet) a woman left her house to go and pray at the Mosque. On her way she was met by a man who forced her to have sexual intercourse. The woman screamed while the man raped her. After he raped her the man ran away. A group of men (who accompanied the Prophet on his flight form Mecca to Medina) passed by the girl and she said to them (pointing in the direction of the man running) “that man just raped me”. They then ran after him and caught him and when face to face with the woman she said “yes that was the person”. They went to the Prophet and the man said “Yes Prophet it was me who did this”. The Prophet said to the girl “go now, God has already pardoned you”. The Prophet then said to the man (while appreciating his confession) “stone him”. He then said “Actually, he has already learnt his lesson and if someone learns their lesson all the people of Median will understand”.Ibn al-Atsir, Jami al-Ushul, IV/270, no 1823
Hadith: During the time of the Prophet (saw) punishment was inflicted on the rapist on the solitary evidence of the woman who was raped by him. Wa'il ibn Hujr reports of an incident when a woman was raped. Later, when some people came by, she identified and accused the man of raping her. They seized him and brought him to Allah's messenger, who said to the woman, "Go away, for Allâh has forgiven you," but of the man who had raped her, he said, "Stone him to death." (Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud)
Sûrah al Baqarah 2.223
'Your wives are your tilth; go then unto your tilth as you may desire, but first provide something for your souls*, and remain conscious of God, and know that your are destined to meet Him...'
* Note in Muhammad Asad's translation: 'a spiritual relationship between man and woman is postulated as the indispensable basis of sexual relations.'
Sûrah ar Rum 30.21
"And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind, so that your might incline towards then, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think!

Sûrah al An'am 6.120
”Abandon all harm (ithm), whether committed openly or in secret.”
(Check Sûrah al A`raf 7:33)
These are Christian views on women from the Old Testament(they believe both, makes them able to absolve themselves psychologically from guilt because they rationalize that man if imperfect only Jesus is perfect so it's OK for Christians to kill without repercussions but not for Muslims as they don't have the principle of 'turn thy cheek' but of 'defend yourselves if attacked'. It's a very strange world we live in.
New Testament
Matthew 5:17: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." (ex. thou shalt not kill)
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
What the GOP is following is rather some of the worst of the Old Testament...
Leviticus 15:19
"When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening."
Hosea 13:16 (King James) Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
Numbers 31: 17-18
17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Deuteronomy 20:16
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

His remarks reveal, again, what Republicans believe about abortion, and women
Akin hasn’t changed Paul Ryan’s mind
In an interview, the vice-presidential nominee stands by his record opposing abortion in all cases, including rape
Todd Akin, Paul Ryan, and Redefining RapeOn Sunday, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), who is challenging Sen. Claire McCaskill in the Missouri Senate race, used an interview with a local television station to defend his belief that abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape: He claimed that women who are the victims of "legitimate rape" are unlikely to become pregnant. Akin said that the female body has "biological defenses" that prevent rape victims from getting pregnant. (That's not true.) The implication of his position is that if you were raped and became pregnant, you must have actually wanted it—it wasn't really rape
Paul Ryan Cosponsored All the Most Extreme Anti-Abortion Bills
Over his career in the House, GOP VP candidate Paul Ryan has endorsed a number of measures that would limit or completely bar abortion in the United States. Although Ryan's anti-abortion credentials have gotten plenty of coverage since he was announced as Romney's veep choice, the full extent of the measures he's endorsed is breathtaking, and includes cosponsoring a measure that would allow hospitals to deny women access to an abortions even if their life is in immediate danger.

Paul Ryan’s rape reversal: Romney says he would not oppose abortion in instances of rape; but Paul Ryan's record looks a lot like Todd Akin's
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were quick to flee Rep. Todd Akin’s drowning ship after he said that victims of “legitimate rape” magically don’t get pregnant, but a closer inspection reveals that Ryan’s views on abortion are not that different from Akin’s. “Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan disagree with Mr. Akin’s statement, and a Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape,” a Romney spokesperson said in a statement late last night.
Romney, of course, has a bipolar relationship with the issue of a woman’s right to choose, but the spokesperson’s statement represents a flip-flop for Ryan, who has proposed and supported legislation that would outlaw abortion with no exception for rape. Ryan has earned a “100 percent pro-life voting record” from the National Right to Life Committee during his 14 years in Congress. NARAL, the pro-choice group, looked at 59 key votes on abortion, and found that Ryan voted the anti-choice position on every single one.
He co-sponsored “personhood” legislation that would give fetuses “all legal and constitutional attributes and privileges.” If enacted it would ban abortion care in almost all cases, including rape or incest. The head of the main group pushing personhood legislation said, “In supporting Personhood, Congressman Ryan has taken a consistent pro-life position, one that is called for by the Republican Party’s own platform.”
From Mother Jones: "Under Ryan's pro-life bill, a rapist could go to court and prevent his victim from getting an abortion."
... and if the lies don't work then the GOP just shuts up and doesn't answer any questions (from Rachel Maddow)...
Despite dodges, Romney, Ryan haunted by extremist record
Rachel Maddow points out the clear political and policy connections between the Romney ticket and the extreme, absolutist anti-abortion movement, and encourages the political media to hold Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to account for their legislative deeds and political associations instead of taking them at their word as they try to distance themselves from their own record...

When trying to convince people not to do a "Stimulus"... this was the argument put forward by the Republican National Committee and Fox News i.e. spending leads to a depression... but that's not the best part, the best part is that they were arguing that SPENDING ON WAR (NOT ON PEACEFUL ACTIVITIES) leads to recovery.
In other words, spending is good just NOT on peaceful activities is the GOP stance...

Economics Explanation: That spending is good for an economyshouldn't be debatable. If you have a business and nobody buys your stuff (i.e. if no spending occurs) you will make no money. This is basic economics, even George Bush wanted people to spend to boost the economy, he just wanted it to be ALL on consumer spending while the Government focuses it's spending on war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The debate should be instead on WHAT FORM OF SPENDING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT. I support peaceful spending activities (done properly, transparently and efficiently), while the GOP and the Paul Ryan Plan goes the other way.
Historical note: The US Government got out of the last depression, with historically high unemployment rates, by going to War (i.e. World War 3). This solved the economic problem because of the war industry AND the large decrease in population (millions dies storming beaches lined with machine guns, again and again... how long will it just be the drones? There's Iran, Syria to invade and Iraq (to go back into, as Rick Perry said during the debates - Romney was smart enough to stay quite). All the apparatus is there, all the GOP needs is control of the executive branch. There may be contractors in Iraq but the army has drawn down. Libya's attack is over. With the GOP this wil continue. The Libertarians are walking into a GOP-Romney trap by taking the GOP's side in ANYTHING. It's how the GOP works, literally, everything is a lie or half truth designed to take us into war
Economics perspective: Manufacturing jobs have become more specialized requiring less labor and more technical expertise i.e. less jobs but people are still graduating college. A war and a draft becomes a great alternative for large corporations who happen to be funding people in Government , especially the GOP. This also includes investments in companies that help them make money... with some help from laws that they pass
What is the 'Ryan plan'? Budget proposal back in spotlight with VP announcement
With Rep. Paul Ryan selected as Mitt Romney's running mate, voters will be hearing a lot about the so-called "Ryan" plan.

So what is it?
Though each party has strong feelings about what Ryan's controversial budget proposal entails, here are a few highlights. Just the facts:
- The latest full-scale version of the plan, unveiled in March, vows to cut spending by $5 trillion over the next decade, compared against President Obama's plan.
- The plan would, a decade from now, give seniors the option of taking a government payment to purchase health insurance. That payment could be used to buy a private insurance plan, or go toward the traditional Medicare plan. The plan calls for extra assistance to help low-income beneficiaries and those with "greater health risks."
- The plan would overhaul Medicaid by turning it into a block grant system for states.
- The plan would cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent. It would implement two individual income tax brackets -- 10 percent and 25 percent.
- The plan would head off the scheduled automatic defense cuts, first by diverting the planned $55 million defense cut in 2013 by implementing those cuts elsewhere.
- The plan vows to bring the size of government to 20 percent of GDP by 2015.

Note:
1.Senator Bernie Sanders also thinks sending manufacturing jobs abroad is bad economic policy (as he argues here against Alan Greenspan)
2. There are "900 bases in 150 countries"
3. From The Economist: Indeed, the one lesson that can be drawn from the data is that today's strategic priorities can shape deployments for decades to come, long after the original reason for putting G.I.s in a particular region has gone.

... The origins of the Nazi's in the United States, goes back to world war 2 (and guess where they are now?) ...
The above is published on the Fox News website. Whats utterly amazing is that since World War 2 America has increasingly become more and more filled with hate groups, particularly of the Neo-Nazi variety... did Hitler actually win the war? His message now fills the United States of America! Well, not really 'fill' more like permeates the society at a subliminal level where good citizens try to compromise with haters and end up adopting some level of hate for balance. The Nazi's never should have been allowed to enter America, now their groups cover the countryside. Be careful, Hitler found a way to attack from within...
Republicans Embrace Tyranny, the KKK and Skinheads...
Texas Governor Rick Perry has recently taken a dangerous extremist right-wing position, a message that continues to echo from Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin and others.Perry’s recent not-so-veiled references to a potential Lone Star State secession tapped into the radical and dangerous fringe groups of the KKK, skin heads and attempted to whip up anarchy against the Federal Government of the United States of America, which Perry has called upon dozens of time for help. The hypocrisy is Perry’s anti-Washington sentiment was not only wrong I believe it is treasonists. Perry seems more intent in becoming the Grand Master of the Ku Klux Klan.
Perry spurred on this anti-American rhetoric on more than one occasion, calling President Obama a socialist because he wants a minor tax increase for a small fraction of Americans, raising the tax rate of people making over $250k a year from 36% to 39%, while at the same time giving tax cuts to 95% of all hardworking, taxpaying citizens. While President Obama would prefer to spend Americans tax money on helping people, creating jobs and rebuilding this country’s decaying infrastructure rather than conducting wars of dubious origin, Perry would prefer to lie to Texans for the purpose of political gain. Perry is doing what Republicans do best, putting politics over people. Anyone, especially a governor, calling for the overthrow of the federal government at the behest of wealthy right wingers demonstrates how pathetic the Republican Party has sunk. Rick Perry is acting like an irresponsible and spoiled child, as the GOP has not only become the Party of “NO”, but is a very weak, defeated, directionless group of old white men out of ideas for the 21st century. Desperate people do desperate things.
The fact is that Texas receives 94% of the money back that is sends to Washington, compared to other states, mostly northern that only receive 65-75% back. What is Rick complaining about? His contribution to the current economic recession is to deny Texans healthcare and unemployment benefits offered by the Federal Government. Thanks “Rickie”
It is unconscionable Rick Perry and the Republican Party would attempt to raise the issue of secession and other ideas that would destabilize our country and our democracy. Words matter, public officials’ statements matter because of the harm and instability they cause. Perry’s statements transcend irresponsibility by echoing a violent uprising in this state, in attempting to create civil unrest and stir up the worst fringe groups.

Fox News has to voice the opinion of its constituents - it is important to keep in mind that their constituents includes the Ku Klux Klan and The Neo-Nazi's. thus, their broadcast has to encompass all their views or they will lose ratings.

“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.” Adolf Hitler
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

To #Israel people against #Muslims... R U Sure U got Your enemy right?... Why does no one remember that the Nazi's under Hitler were Christians? All they want to do is take over Israel... eventually.
In Matthew 24:14, the Bible says that the Gospel (the news about Jesus and his offer of salvation and eternal life) will be preached throughout the world. The Bible also says that sometime after this happens, the end will come. The Bible has been preached throughout the world for a long time. But now, with the increasing worldwide availability of television and the Internet, there is greater potential for the Gospel to be preached to everyone, everywhere. - Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Luke 21:20-33 (King James Version): "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
All of the following quotes are taken as proof of Jesus's return in the readers lifetime (which is why Christians have been freaking out throughout the ages! - especially during millenniums - Why does no one remember that the Nazi's under Hitler were Christians?)
1 Cor 7:29: The appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none.
1 Cor 7:31: For the form of this world is passing away.
Phil 4:5: The Lord is coming soon.
1 Thess 4:15: We who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord.
At a moments notice a strongly Christian nation can freak out and attack without proof. Or at least, that's how how it seems i.e. Dick Cheney: The Ultimate Laissez-Faire Capitalist? http://www.culturesocietyblog.com/2013/03/dick-cheney-ultimate-laissez-faire.html
Laziness brings on deep sleep,
And the shiftless man goes hungry.
Proverbs 19:15
"The wise man has eyes in his head,
while the fool walks in the darkness."
Ecclesiastes 6:7
Even the women can't be trusted to protect other women from policies that are pro-rapists (they will say anything to win an argument, tell any lie)...
People on the payroll of the GOP and Fox News are going out and supporting science while making up thier own science as this post, consisting of some real journalism (Thank The Gods!), will prove. Also, it's important to keep in mind that getting caught lying doesn't bother anyone of the followers of Fox News. They only want to win.
Notice how this old expressionless woman (or worn out by being in the GOP?) on the GOP-Republican payroll is caught lying (or "speaking from the heart" i.e. making up truths cause they think it will help them) and doesn't even flinch. They are trained well! (Bet the next one flinches are they start mixing and matching reactions!)
Kellyanne Conway's sex-selective abortion statements on AC360
Tonight on AC360° guest Kellyanne Conway stated, "You've got all these little baby girls being killed just because they're girls in this country.” Conway added, "We should look at the Guttmacher Institute statistics to really illuminate us on that. But it does, it does occur because there's so much science now, people can, they can know the gender of their baby and they make their choices accordingly."
AC360 checked into the Guttmacher Institute information about sex-selective abortion. This is the information on their website:
http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/gpr/15/2/gpr150218.html
“…What is conclusively known is that the U.S. sex ratio at birth in 2005 stood at 105 boys to 100 girls, squarely within biologically normal parameters. Beyond that salient fact, two studies using 2000 U.S. census data to examine sex ratios among Chinese-, Indian- and Korean-American families found that although the ratio for first-born children in such families was normal, there was evidence of son preference in second- and third-order births, if the older children were daughters. Notably, the authors do not pinpoint the cause of the disparate ratios—whether prepregnancy techniques involving fertility treatments or sex-selective abortions. In addition, they comment that these three ethnic communities constitute a very small proportion—less than 2%—of the U.S. population. A third analysis that supporters of PRENDA rely on is a small-scale qualitative study involving interviews with 65 immigrant Indian women who practiced sex selection, either before pregnancy or during pregnancy through an abortion. Many of these women spoke of the social and cultural basis for son preference and the intense pressure faced by women in their communities to produce sons…"
