Carly Fiorina on Immigration: Pass the DREAM Act. For other undocumented immigrants, a direct path to citizenship is unfair. While running for the U.S. Senate in California in 2010, Fiorina said she supports the DREAM Act, which would give legal status to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

Carly Fiorina on Climate change: It is real and manmade. But government has limited ability to address it. Speaking in New Hampshire in February, Fiorina said there is scientific consensus that climate change is real and caused by humans.

    One thing people need to realize is Yes, mankind, or more precisely, corrupt governments, have effected our Environment. But the environment has Nothing to do with climate. (out side the local effects of heat islands-cities).
    Climate is consistent weather patterns over long periods of time; and that is controlled by the sun and is cyclical in nature.
    Like I posted earlier, It has taken me a year to vet all the bull crap out.
    Also, I have come to know that what ever the side that opposes everything we know to be true and successful is definitely yanking your chain.

    Not be too hasty that's six or seven good reasons for Carly 'sleeper agent' to be supported by the DNC. How do you say Manchurian Candidate in Italian?

    I might be wrong, but like the rest of the pack, she is ill-informed and never bothered to vet these issues out.
    It has taken me more than a year to vet out the manmade c(lie)mate sham to my own satisfaction.
    You just can't believe anybody upon face value these days, especially those that claim to be expert.

    So the question to her should be; when and why have you changed your mind on these issues...what was Your A Ha moment?

    Addicts will have to be addressed as they are now (when they are) -- by persuading their enablers to stop enabling. Government has shown a complete lack of competence at doing this.

    Addicts are a very small proportion of users anyway. And even they (and enablers) do not deserve punishment, which is the only thing the State knows how to do.

    ummmmmmmm ............ if amnesty means D votes, then
    there could be a reason to consider the "value" (probably
    negative) of it. . and the same for CC . IMHO. . the economy
    suffers from the false CO2 argument, also. -- j

    Prohibition is gone, and alcohol addiction is still a serious social problem. Opium addiction was a serious social problem in China until the Communist takeover. In most cases, availability seems to be the driver that generates widespread use. Making marijuana more available will of course make use (and abuse) a more likely result. I do think that treating it as a medical issue, and restricting promotion of the drug is a better way of handling the problem than massive incarceration of users. Given the possible COPD effects, incentivizing vapor products over smoking the weed itself seems a reasonable precaution.

    As you point out, finding definitive answers can be difficult, because there hasn't been the kind of in-depth study of marijuana that has happened with regard to tobacco. However, here are a few results in plain language (the National Institute for Health is medical gibberish): http://www.dosenation.com/listing.php... finding that use of both tobacco and marijuana is more damaging than marijuana alone; http://norml.org/news/2015/06/25/stud... which supports my suggestion in the original message.

    Good point especially after that happening in the present one. That would make two groups still needing to validate themselves politically. The first with no turn at bat and the second with two strikes. Bubba the first * President who was . and Obama the first *** who wasn't a President. Whee you find asteriks insert the latest PC term. Correction there are three. I quite forgot Hillary focusing on important topics. (Edit I had to replace my astericks being replaced with dashes with asteriks again. reeditFor whatever reason the three parts with any astericks should have five. I think this is program has a Carville virus.

    A heads up: Glenn Beck will have Fiorina on the Blaze next Tuesday. Should be interesting. He is a very sharp Common Core, man made Climate/Change and Imigration critic.

    It might have been availability. As opposed to other parts of the world. But it was a native species commonly known as hemp (for manufacturing rope) or locoweed which adversely affected cattle. My Dad mentioned it being a weed type plant in NW Iowa and wondered why his father made the boys stand upwind when the lit off a pile of it. Years later he learned the name marijuana as a school teacher in Oregon.

    Possibly a correct statement, but since all of those concepts have very low value to me, the equation does not make much sense.

    I recall the same being said of JFK and Catholicism - the claim was that the US would be run by the pope were JFK elected. That did not happen.

    Right now, I would indeed look askance at a Muslim being elected President, because his/her term would be about nothing but that, but I don't think that it is theoretically possible for this to occur and the Pres to be a good leader of the US. I am willing to wait a few decades until the Muslim religion is no longer such a spectacular example of dissonance, however.

    Amen brother! As someone who has watched a number of families, including my own, destroyed by addiction I too would support the death penalty, public torture or dipping dealers in gasoline and dragging them around the streets tied to the bumpers of their Maserati until they ignite. Yes it's easy to go all medieval on them. Sadly the reality is when one lives in a free society our young people have the right to destroy themselves and break our hearts. They never realize they forfeit their freedom to enslavement of the most hideous of masters.

    Question. Three Strikes you're Out with the third being pot related. Of those jailed in states having that situation 'three strikes plus legalized marijuana;' how many strike outs have been released and been replaced with violent felons.?

    I intend the two terms to mean exactly the same thing. The difference is the sound of them to the man on the street, not intellectual types like on this forum.

    “Decriminalization” – despite the many syllables – goes down easier. And having “de-crime” in the word more strongly insinuates that people have been unjustly imprisoned.

    We need to do a focus group, LOL.
