He was the most handsome and honest man I have ever encountered, he was so kind respectful to me and my entire family. He gave me the reason to spend my entire life with him. I enjoyed 3yrs of love and sweet romance as his wife before the devil came into our home, his ex-girlfriend worked voodoo on him, she made him show me the bad side of him and also caused our divorce. The most annoying part was when she tried to take my life spiritually and physically, fighting to ensure am thoroughly erased from my husband before she takes over. It was getting tensed till the extent that I couldn’t sleep both day and night because she must be there to trouble me.<br />Story short, I used the only available options left which was Dr. Wakina @ {dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com} before I lose everything including my life. Dr. Wakina was the last option because every other sources failed and his love spell worked wonders after 7days which saw the evil lady flee from us with immediate effect, the divorce case was reconciled within days as well. <br />Since after the spell, I finally knew how to treat wicked and jealous people and a whole new lot of thing from Dr. Wakina. Happiness and joy has been in abundance in my family for the past 8months after the love spell. Thanks to dr. wakina’s love spell that works wonders {dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com}.Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677796950236207570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-16721419365104229942016-10-26T20:17:35.037-04:002016-10-26T20:17:35.037-04:00Muslims biased against gays = bad.

One should distinguish laws providing access to medical care vs. actual medical care provided.<br /><br />You reject Mateen as being typical of Muslims. Of course, I didn't say he was. I said he was a poor example for some other Anon to use in order to argue that Muslims aren't biased against gays.<br /><br />But, your more general argument is that with Muslims being 23% of the world, a few examples are inadequate. That's true. But, I cannot list thousands of examples here in the Comment box.

See www.cms.gov. <br /><br />Cuba's provision of medical care, physician training, and surgical protocol is so "medicre" that it has exported its institutional expertise and medical care throughout the world for decades and despite decades of harsh US-imposed sanctions. <br /><br />Finally, your Islamophobia conflates the likes of Omar Mateen with "most" of the 1.57 billion Muslims that inhabit 223 countries. You conflate the institutional misogyny of Saudi Arabia with the 232 countries and territories inhabited by Muslims, including 57 countries that have a Muslim majority. You ignore the obvious and pronounced discrimination and misogyny - both institutional and individually - by non-Muslim countries and religions.<br /><br />All this rank dishonesty to promote your racist, nationalistic hatred of progressives in what is ostensibly a progressive blog instead of the blogs of your fellow travelers. <br /><br />Your hate and rage is duly noted. <br /><br />Commenters @ 9:09, 6:50, 6:41, & 2:58, your generosity is noted, but you're wasting your courtesy on this hater. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-84289437622326137422016-10-25T22:15:31.078-04:002016-10-25T22:15:31.078-04:00Try getting a mammogram at an emergency room.

E.g., the US is about to elect a woman President.

It has been slowly improving here, but it is an universal issue.<br /><br />Islamic societies do not support throwing gay people off roofs; however, muslims are not alone in their violent treatment of gays. There was the recent attack on gay people at an Orlando nightclub, which is the tip of the iceberg.

While there are instances where Common Core is inappropriate (as Bob shows), educational excellence and Common Core are not necessarily in conflict, it depends on how Common Core is utilized.<br /><br />Another example of false conflict. Liberals support people in need. Liberals support social safety nets, welfare for example, most people on welfare are white, many are homophobic misogynists. They are all supported by liberals. Conservatives think everyone should be out for themselves. We have learned over the centuries that this is a very poor philosophy for having a healthy and happy society. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-71627808363036994492016-10-25T14:58:43.502-04:002016-10-25T14:58:43.502-04:00"Most of them"?

These are the resources needed to help parents prepare their kids for literacy before preschool and kindergarten. The libraries are also an access point for spreading info about public programs to support parents.<br /><br />All communities have seen huge decreases in funding for their public libraries over the past several decades. Hours have been cut, staff laid off, book purchase neglected in favor of digital resources. <br /><br />If we were truly committed to increasing literacy and education levels among poor people, we would have supported our libraries over the past hard times. Why don't we do that? <br /><br />I believe Somerby when he suggests that liberals are only giving lip service to some of these values. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
