Things Veterans tend to agree on.
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Wed, 03/23/2016 - 3:40pmSome folks never served. In fact, a LOT of folks never served. So as a result they don't understand why veterans think the way they do. They see the issues and can't understand why a veteran might think the solution different. In some cases, it can lead to outright disrespect and failure to try to understand the other side.
Government overreach vs Water overreach, or the TeaParty Mind
Submitted by cminus on Wed, 03/23/2016 - 3:28pmThis is a story from the small town of my childhood. It has always stayed with me because it exemplifies the Tea Party/Ayn Rand mindset, even before there was a Tea Party. It's also damned funny! And we need some stuff to take our mind off these primaries.

Trump Supporters
Submitted by thrownstone on Wed, 03/23/2016 - 1:31pmTrump supporters feel disrespected, talked down to, left out. They feel betrayed. Betrayed by the forty years of bait and switch perpetrated upon them by their political "leadership", betrayed by an economy that is moving past their abilities and skills, betrayed by the business "leaders" that deliberately left them out of their plans for the next American economy.

Tennessee anti-trans bill fails
Submitted by Robyn on Wed, 03/23/2016 - 12:53pmA bill which would have forced Tennessee's transgender youth to use restrooms matching the sex assigned to them at birth failed in a House committee yesterday.
Religious conservatives had pushed the legislation, which was sponsored by Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mt. Juliet, and Mike Bell, R-Riceville. But there was concern that the proposal might create more confusion — local schools already have their own policies on transgender students' bathroom use.
The bill died in a House Education Administration and Planning Committee meeting that was packed by transgender youth who opposed the measure.
