And in the Buckeye State. Buckeye? Cornhuskers maybe:
According to a new Loras College poll in Iowa released Tuesday Donald Trump still holds the top spot with 25 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers. Carson takes second with 18 percent and Bush follows at 10 percent.
The three candidates are the only ones with double-digit support, Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Scott Walker round out the top five with 7 percent and 6 percent respectively.

Meanwhile, over at polyamory advocacy sex blog The Federalist, Brandon "Metro" Morse is quite upset that someone said his favorite video game character is a transsexual:
"Samus is 100 percent a strong, fierce woman. She wasn't once a man who decided to become a woman. No, that would take away from Samus's feminine strength. She's not bogged down by questions about her identity. Samus knows who she is. She's confident in it. She's one of the greatest representations of pure girl power."

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. . . "
There is great risk in attacking the King. The outcome is not certain. What follows could be worse than the conditions which provoked the rebellion.
So the question which confronts us is 'Where is the point where the King has gone too far? When is the burden intolerable? When does the majority say, no more, no further, it ends here.'
We aren't there yet, apparently.

Huh... so like right now, only without failure theater? I'm in.
Seriously, this is what the chattering class does not get, and I don't get why- Conservatives are not "Discard[ing] their Principles." Conservatives are every bit as conservative as they ever have been. More so, in many cases.
The issue is the Republican Party does not represent Conservative values, yet portrays itself as the home for Conservatives. Then along comes Trump. We know he's not particularly conservative. He is, however, saying all the right things (and with a fluency which makes be believe that this isn't just talking points). If I have to pick someone who isn't going to represent me, I can at least pick one who is a) entertaining and b) at least *saying* he'll represent me.
Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan. Not that the two are necessarily alike in any way, but where Reagan was a "shining city on a hill," Trump is a bright, shiny mirror, showing the DOPe exactly how ugly they've become.
They can choose to look at it and do something about it, or ignore it and continue not getting asked to the prom.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PECULIARITY
A world exclusive.
This week I am filing a world exclusive! Remember you read it here first!!
For years I have maintained a team of investigators sedulously trailing our president. They have studied pictures of him. They have inquired of photographers and camera crews who employ both still and video cameras to cover the President. My investigators have interviewed White House journalists, occasionally White House employees, and, of course, White House visitors even tourists. All have been asked the same question: "Have you ever seen the President's shadow?"
Every interviewee who would answer the question has confirmed my suspicion. They have not seen President Barack Obama's shadow. The reason for this curious phenomenon is that he casts no shadow. Despite all the power at his command he roams the world leaving no shadow. The sun may shine down upon him. A wall of floodlights may illuminate him. Yet beyond his neat and well-tailored physique he leaves no shadow, no silhouette, nothing. Zilch, as they say. He is that insubstantial. He is a community organizer. He is not a president...

I can't jurisdiction shop for carry permits. I have to get it from my town. (Someone else upthread said he'd drive to the next county).
Laws is laws. You can choose a different bakery, you can't choose a different place to get a carry permit.

You have a religious belief, and you work as a government employee. The government requires you to violate your religious belief, yet the government is prohibited from 'establishing a religion'.
You find yourself in court where you are ordered to violate your religious belief and are jailed for violating the law, and refusing to obey the order of the judge.
You claim you are being jailed for your religious belief. The judge claims you are being jailed for contempt of court. In effect, you are a political prisoner, held without trial, without bail, for practicing your religion.

I have to begrudgingly support this as well.
If the job description has been changed to include "Issuing licenses to all qualified applicants" or something close, and if her religious convictions prevent her from meeting the descriptions requirements, it may be time to seek a job with a different description.
I applaud her moral courage.
But, if she can't do the job as defined, unless she can find a way to come in under the ADA act, it's time to turn it over.

Your convictions then would dictate you take a job that does not compromise them.
Like the idiotic comparison to an Amish clerk not issuing a gun permit. An Amish would never take that position in the first place.
Now, in these cases where the law changes and someone's duties change, there is a very real dilemma. But did we allow clerks to stop issuing marriage licenses to mixed race couples in the South when laws were overthrown? Did we allow clerks to not issue voter registration to blacks when the laws changed?
They have to do their jobs or find another one.

She's an *elected* official. Why don't we let her bosses, you know, the voters, decide if she should keep her job?
As for getting your carry permit in your town, it's different from place to place, which makes your point even more moot. Where I live, it's issued by the state government...not my town/city/county or whatever. And in the specific case of this lady, the marriage licenses are statewide, which means any KY marriage license works anywhere in KY.

BUSH VS. TRUMP: A REVEALING CLUE
Can someone be trusted to lead if allows himself to be bullied?
By Thomas Sowell -- 9.1.15
*clap*
Even those of us who are not supporters of either Donald Trump or Jeb Bush can learn something by comparing how each of these men handled people who tried to disrupt their question-and-answer period after a speech.
After Bush's speech, hecklers from a group called "Black Lives Matter" caused Bush to simply leave the scene. When Trump opened his question-and-answer period by pointing to someone in the audience who had a question, a Hispanic immigration activist who had not been called on simply stood up and started haranguing.
Trump told the activist to sit down because someone else had been called on. But the harangue continued, until a security guard escorted the disrupter out of the room. And Jeb Bush later criticized Trump for having the disrupter removed!
What kind of president would someone make who caves in to those who act as if what they want automatically overrides other people's rights -- that the rules don't apply to them?
No Jeb!

Issuing a marriage license for gays is not a sin. It is a secular license, for one.
Secondly, the person issuing a piece of paper is not the one sinning in the eyes of God.

An OB's job description is: the medical profession that deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, chiefly at risk situations requiring surgical interventions.
I don't see "murdering the baby cuz the mama would be inconvenienced" in the description. However, one of a county clerk's primary job functions is to rubber-stamp correctly filed legal paperwork.

In the case if marriage licenses, there is a government monopoly. Now a person could go to another county in the same state to get the liscense But some licenses can only be issued byt he county you live in
a monopoly. The OB is acting as a private person. The clerk is acting not in a private capacity, but as an agent of the state.

While it should not be forced on Christians, the wise ones will turn to ranching/farming.
You can sell eggs, meat, whatever to anyone. What they do with it is their business.
And it has the added benefit of insulating you when the cities, or entire country, burn.

When someone says Public Life, I assume (apparently incorrectly) that they are referring to Government Office/Employment.
I am a firm believer in private employment, and being able to write your own mission statement/ job description, etc.
And if, as some have said, this Clerk is NOT the single source of Marriage Licenses for applicants, then there is a stronger case for allowing her position to be accepted.
But, if as I originally understood it, she is the only source of marriage licenses for some applicants, then to not fulfill the job description is really problematic.

Wall Drug has signs *everywhere*.

You have a right to religion, I have a right to gay marriage (not that I want to get gay married, that's not the point). My hand in rights poker beats the gov't official's hand.
You let the drones get away with issuing things as they want, and you'll get New Jersey and their pistol permit farce. Or the big cities CCW issuing guidelines.
Not everyone gets to be a winner, and I'll always prefer to err on the citizen's rights over a citizen working in a governmental capacity.

There is nothing in the Constitution about the right to birth control either. Justice Douglas made it up out of "penumbras" emanating out of the right to privacy in the 1960s. The Bill of Rights does NOT mention a right to privacy
its not written in the constitution
now I agree gay activists really want to pubish her for her beliefs, and she is playing along by making herslef a martyr
I think eventually she will quit in protest and make her point that way
but there is no written right to privacy in the constitution or the bill of rights
is it your argument it does not exist

Yup.
"Found" here is another word for "stole."

I don't know. I get what you're saying, but it can be taken to extremes. Can a Muslim be a county clerk or state bureaucrat or whoever it is that issues liquor licenses? Can a Catholic work in a place that sells birth control? Can a Mormon work anywhere that sells coffee? These examples are analogous only in that the duties of each job should come as no surprise to the respective workers. If there's a conflict, they can simply not work there.
Points for acting according to conscience, but points taken away for grandstanding, if that's what she did. Again, I don't know.
