Yes, Paul Ryan Spoke the Truth About Obama's Fiscal Record at the Republican Convention - Forbes ;.. Seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.  An obligation we have to our parents and grandparents is being sacrificed, all to pay for a new entitlement we didn’t even ask for.  The greatest threat to Medicare is Obamacare, and we’re going to stop it.

Censorship battle leads SummerStage play to new venue - JSOnline

Censorship battle leads SummerStage play to new venue - JSOnline ;.. Enter from stage right Eliason and Crosstalk. He repeatedly urged listeners to call the volunteer board members, their employers and the DNR to complain about this "blasphemy in the park."

Could anyone mock the Qur'an and get away with it? he asked.

The DNR caved this week, but with some contractual justification, Davis acknowledged.

In a letter Wednesday, Kimberly Currie of the DNR's Bureau of Parks and Recreation confirmed that SummerStage would not perform the play because it wasn't a "family-oriented production" as required under the contract. Davis said that SoundStage promotions had suggested children under 13 not attend.

"We just didn't think kids would get it," he said. "They just used that against us."

Faracy spent the last couple of days scrambling for another venue. Next Act Theatre in Milwaukee's Walker's Point came to the rescue.

David Cecsarini, Next Act's producing artistic director, said, "I as a theater producer and my colleagues have a true stake in this. What happened to Brian was out and out censorship."

If this can happen to an innocuous play like this, he said, "what happens when we do a work that actually has some teeth in it?"

Next Act Theatre at 255 S. Water St. will host Faracy's production of "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged)" Aug. 31-Sept. 2 and Sept. 7-9. Call the theater at  (414) 278-0765 for times and to purchase the $15 tickets.

"Come and have a great time in support of free speech," Cecsarini said.

Tell me it isn't political - JSOnline

Tell me it isn't political - JSOnline ;.. That to me is what makes Cardinal Dolan’s benediction so much worse. He is going to use the platform given to him to rail against the Obama administration and talk about “the sanctity of life.” I mean, sure, he said he invited himself to both the Democratic and Republican conventions to do a benediction. But let’s be clear, he is suing the Obama administration over the Affordable Care Act and the provision about birth control. Could you imagine him actually being invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention? I couldn’t.

 

I understand that Cardinal Dolan has a strong position on the issue of birth control, but I have issues when he uses his role in the Church to make political points and advance a specific candidate. I mean, maybe he will prove me wrong when he prays, but it’s hard to see that coming from a man who is suing the other candidate.
