Capping a two-year study, with agriculture industry participation, the report calls for a national phase-out of all intensive confinement of farmed animals.

Jeremiah Wright is like the man in the Bible who Jesus knew as Legion.

He claimed the IRS said the American taxpayer will spend an average of 26.4 hours and $207 to complete and file their tax return. Later on he says 26.4 hours times $17.92 per hour plus the $270 would equate to $680.09 to file a tax return.

Widows are not “single mothers,” they are widowed mothers. Mothers who are living alone because their husbands have abandoned them are not “single mothers.” Single mothers are those who have children out of wedlock, thus single.

Sally Kern,” by Rep. Jason Murphey in the April 7 Edmond Sun.When did intolerance and discrimination become family values? When did someone’s interpretation of a biblical sentence become the truth and the law?

He finds it necessary to take on both single mothers and a local ministry attempting to help these often well-deserving women. And the language he chooses to use: “deeply offended,” “glorify,” “sin,” “immoral,” and, whatever this phrase must mean, “living against social laws.”
