While Sebelius was not questioned about her extremist abortion policies, concerns have been raised about them and about her $8,000 tax “error” that surfaced last week.
Tax evasion seems to be a common problem among Obama appointees….
OR President Troy Newman encourages voters to contact KS Sens. Roberts and Brownback to voice concerns about Sebelius.
The surprise comes because many scientists see us as just animals. But there is something–dare I say it, exceptional–about the human species, and apparently this distinction that makes such a huge difference has been part of us from the time we first began to emerge/evolve/were created (take your pick).
It appears that the modern, “abortion as a cure-all” movement has made it easy for us to replace our humanity with unnatural, animalistic behavior.
Though she does not claim the Pope as her spiritual leader, Dr. Laura states:
The naysayers all have one thing in common: they refuse to want, believe or accept that human beings can commit to a higher spiritual state of thought and behavior.
The Pope believes in us more than that.
While acknowledging the fact that condoms offer some protection against venereal disease and pregnancy, she questions in the original Catholic Education article:
… [I]n the overall scheme of humanity, why do so many people wish to push away the enormous protective power of moral values?
I’m beginning to think that tax problems are a prerequisite to serving with Obama.
We can only pray that congress has had enough and will kill her nomination.
Every year someone gives a bunch of tax “professionals” the same data and asks them to prepare a return. Every year the same result, vastly different tax returns from the same data.
Hal, so basically you’re saying there is no point in even trying. I think the IRS would disagree with you there, considering ordinary people are pushed to financial ruin by the IRS on a daily basis. If Obama’s people don’t have to play by the rules, I don’t see why any average American should be expected to do so.
I’m just saying that if you took any tax return of someone with any degree of complicated finances, it would not be surprising to find an error of $8,000 or so. I’m not apologizing for someone forgetting to report a car and driver, but smaller mistakes can indeed be innocent.
Yes, and when ordinary people make these innocent mistakes they are ruined with tax liens and wage garnishments. If a politician does it, they’re put in charge of our financial system.
Hal doesn’t know tax law. Deductions not supported by proper documentation are DISALLOWED. This was not a calulation challenge. it was just a case of a missing supporting document. 25 grand. She is a tax cheat. Of course if she was on track, they could have called a vote. I suspect they did not call a vote because they knew she didn’t have enough support.
Scientists found the remains of several members of the early human species Homo heidelbergensis—thought to be a direct ancestor of the Neanderthals—in Atapuerca, Spain, in 2001.
This is not a modern human. I thought you folks didn’t believe in evolution?
Deliberately killing unwanted offspring “is not an uncommon practice among mammals, including great apes,” our closest genetic relatives, Gracia noted.
Evidence of the practice also exists among modern human cultures. The Inuit, for instance, used to kill babies with severe genetic defects.
And at a medieval poorhouse in England, where parents often left their unwanted children, the cemetery contained a higher than normal number of children with deformities, the study team noted.
So much for the theory that legal abortion “replaced our humanity with unnatural, animalistic behavior.” LOL
“Hal doesn’t know tax law.”
That is true. However, the IRS once said my return was wrong. I disagreed, and they backed down.
But, I really don’t claim to know much tax law.
The naysayers all have one thing in common: they refuse to want, believe or accept that human beings can commit to a higher spiritual state of thought and behavior. The Pope believes in us more than that.
I’m not Catholic and I quite enjoy having sex while using contraception. I am not going to change my beliefs or behaviors. Sorry pope, you are wrong.
I don’t think the Pope cares if non-Catholics use birth control.
(we’re going to Hell anyway)
So much for the theory that legal abortion “replaced our humanity with unnatural, animalistic behavior.” LOL

For your information and accuracy, the actual quote is “It appears that the modern, ‘abortion as a cure-all’ movement has made it easy for us to replace our humanity with unnatural, animalistic behavior.” It makes it easy to do so. This way, parents don’t even have to *look* at or care for their disabled children…they can just be done with them before they see the light of day or take a breath. Problem solved, right?
And what planet have you been living on since you seem to think that no pro-lifers believe in evolution? I’ve met several who do.
The National Geographic article references a skull from 530,000 years ago. This reference is odd, since most people here believe the earth is 6000 years old, and people rode dinosaurs.
Sorry that the trolls came on to…do nothing in particular. I think that it is important to acknowledge that, regardless of what other species do, humans ought to have more respect for one another. No offense Reality and Bystander, but you two are really insensitive, really cold, and really bigoted if you can justify inequality against the preborn by saying that apes did it, too.
That being said, I want to read that article in my free time about the earlier humans caring for their children. It sounds like a happy piece of information in a stressful day. :).
Actually I read her statements on this and the amount is not significant enough to say she was deliberately evasive given the complexity of the return.
The big problem was she sold her primary residence for a loss in 2006 (?!) and some of the unpaid taxes were related to that.
There’s bigger problems with Don’t Drop the Soap Sebelius, but I’m not putting taxes at the top of the list.
Backing a prison-themed game with the idea of man-rape is not something I’d hold up as wholesome, but in this case, like Tiller, it’s par for the course.
I wonder how much the public knows, but then again, how much would they care?
“And at a medieval poorhouse in England, where parents often left their unwanted children, the cemetery contained a higher than normal number of children with deformities, the study team noted.”

[This quoted statement reminds me of a headline from a newspaper:
‘Federal agents raid gun store, find stockpile of weapons.’
Duh!]
——————————————————-
Just for the sake of being contentious I will make the following observations and just becaue I am being contentious does not mean the I am wrong or the statement is correct.
If people left their deformed or disabled children in the care of a ‘poor house’ one could conclude they cared enough not bash their brains in or slit their throats.
If people left their deformed or disabled children in the care of a ‘poor house’ then it only follows there would be more than the ‘normal’ (whatever that means) number of bodies of deformed or disbled bodies in the cemetary.
Deformed or disabled children probably died at a higher rate than their completely functional counterparts.
The difference between the neanderthals and the Inuits, and the English poorhouse might be the civilizing influence of Christianity. (Darn those pesky Christians, always the party poopers.) I will will venture to suggest that the existence of the ‘poor house’ is evidence of the influence of Christianity.
In Rome Empire, ther Romans used to abandon healthy babies to die. The Christians would rescue them and raise them as their own.
Imagine people seeing value in some one elses baby.
A life is a terrible thing to waste.

Can you imagine the mess that would be produced from ‘breaking a dinosaur.
Maybe the primitive humans had dinosaur whisperer amongst them.
Maybe they had rodeos.
Wow the contestants that did the raptor wrestling must have been some tough dudes.
They did not have barrels so they must have substituted hollow logs for the barrel racing competition.
Staying in the saddleon the back of t-rex for 8 seconds was not the big hurdle, staying alive after he bucked you off was the big challenge.

Bye the way do presume from my attempt at humor that I believe humans evolved from some other species.
Telemere and centromeres aside. From the comments of the Dead Babies R Us crowd I would be more inclined to believe (as in an article of faith, religion, theology, etc,) that apes devolved from humans.
