Hey Ray You aren't one of these Psueod Intellectuals who believes Taxing is a very bad thing and if You are paying taxes You are just part of the big grand conspiracy with the Federal Government to rob people blind?? Is that what You really and truly believe??


So it's not much of a stretch for the government to participate in the worst "attack" on this nation since Pearl Harbor, but for the government to be in the business of keeping the populous poor and down-trodden is a gigantic, unbelievable leap?


What do y'all think brought us out of the Depression of 1929??
Taxation of the rich.


Reading the Revisionists' History of the United States again, are you?

It's always great to see Danni bitching about how the Libertarians will ruin this country and drive it into a depression.

Who told you that Danni? Which talking points booklet gave you that little nugget of knowledge? You aren't smart enough to figure these things out on your own, so someone had to help you out with it.

Fact is, your party and the Republicans have been in control of this country for a very long time. There haven't been any libertarians in control. So how do you explain the position that we are in now? Perhaps it's time for you to suck it up and let someone else run the show for a while, eh?

You won't though. You'll bitch and complain about the Republicans driving us deeper into dept and threatening America's stability. Will you be bitching when a democrat maintains the status quo?

For some reason, I doubt it. The reasoning of "well, at least we have a liberal in the white house now." just doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for you.

if they follow in lockstep as they have done over the last ten years....yes it does


Even as a self-described atheist, I can distinguish between the hypocrites and those who practice what they preach. The fact that you can't, or worse, speaks volumes about your acceptance of people of differing stances. You are part of the problem. The "My way or no way" crowd.

There are good, Christian people who are following the teachings of Jesus as best they can. I do not use their faith in a higher power as a tool to ridicule them. The folks I talk to at work regarding religious matters are intelligent but never demeaning.


Then some REAL, not Republican Faux, contrition for their crimes, including an immediate pull-out from Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe an immediate resignation from both, which would give President Pelosi a chance. For openers ...


Pelosi's own district is not satisfied with her leadership. So what has Pelosi done for you since 2006 that's been so impressive...Other than caving in at every possible chance to the very policies she claims to be against, that is.


How right can rightasright be on this one? I won't be throwing the lever for Obama. But I will celebrate the end of the republican fascist failed overthrow of the US. Not only did you NOT complete your agenda, but you let your leaders rape the U.S. Treasury of BILLIONS of dollars - leave your own citizenry at risk.


I disagree. I think they've paved the way for the agenda to continue unabated. The next guy in line will continue what was started with George Bush Sr and William Jefferson Clinton.

You are correct that nobody forced me to go in there--but once there, people want to force me to breath their smoke. These addicts need to be aware of others rights to breath also, and they won't flop over dead if they smoke where it won't hurt others. I know you stand for the rights of rude assholes, and that's good. Someone has to stand up for them, but face facts--they are rude assholes. It is exactly the same as someone farting a big wet egg fart when you are trying to eat.


If you go into a bar, you should expect to be around people who smoke. If this bothers you, go some place else. But instead, you would prefer that someone accommodate you because you don't like smoke. I haven't been to a restaurant in, well ever, that doesn't have a smoking section separate from the non-smoking section. If you're sitting in the smoking section, ask to be moved.

You remind me of this older lady who walked past me with a grimace and a "I can't believe they put the smoking section right here by the exit" under her breath. At which point, I directed her to the 3 other exits in the fucking restaurant.

Your sense of entitlement...it's showing.

Do any of Those People think Jesus would have been an evangelical? Do they understand what the word "pharisaical" really means? herm


Perhaps not what you consider evangelical, no, but Jesus states in the bible that his disciples were to go out among the world and find converts. That is essentially what an evangelist does. So he would have been an evangelical, but he would have practiced what he was preaching.

fishermen of men, so to speak.

just because the loudest, most popular evangelists have a tendency to be hypocrites does not make them all hypocrites.

7. Cook meat somewhere other than the grill.


Uh.

Why? Everything is better bbq'd or grilled.

Wow this story isn't like 2 months old or anything.

Slow news day?

I notice Redneckville hasn't chimed in on this thread yet. I wonder what's keeping him?

Must be cashing his government check.

The enviros in this country really don't give a damn about the environment at all.


You mean like Zatoichi who incessantly copies/pastes his ancient data from long-dead men about how we're killing the planet...

...then says:

"I already have 150,000 miles on the truck and I have land in the sticks; It's useful. I prefer to use the Porsche to commute when the weather's nice.

I owned and flew a pressurized twin-engine airplane for hundreds of hours; Trained at FlightSafety.

Don't talk to me about fuel costs.

Talk to me about rate-of-return-on-investment.

Her name is RONA."

You mean those kinds of hypocrites, right?

I drive a 1988 Mitsubishi mighty max.

It's small and great on gas. A vehicle is a utilitarian thing for me. I don't give a fiddly fart about what it looks like as long as it has seat belts and an engine.

All I want to do is go from point A to point B in relative comfort. If point A is within a mile of point B, I ride my bike.

First car I've owned in 5 years. Bought it for 1k at an auto auction. It does have a fine stereo in it though.

Wow, so you're arguing for the confederate flag in southern states??? Heritage is heritage, or do you differentiate between heritages *you* like and others you do not?


Of course he's not.

First of all, I disagree that the confederate flag points back to a positive view of southern heritage. Not because it was a battle flag used in a war, but because we allowed groups like the Neo-Nazis and the KKK to use said symbol as a banner to unite their hate of brown people. It doesn't belong on top of my state house. It doesn't belong in front of my statehouse either.

There is a confederate museum in south carolina where the flag belongs. Fly it on top. Fly it in front. Put them all around it for all I care. When you put it on top of the state house or in front of it, you end up sending a message that you might not want to send, or might not mean at all. Your message could really be a remembrance of the past, but those who have suffered because of that banner get a different meaning from the action.

Then why do we Americans celebrate St Patty's day?? Isn't that an Irish Holiday??



St. Patrick's Day? Chinese New Year?


Are you both trying to stump my by saying I celebrate something else? Fuck you both.

Who in their right fucking mind celebrates chinese new year other than the chinese?

I'm Irish, but I don't even celebrate St. Patrick's Day either. American's like to take shit that doesn't belong to them and call it "A day off from work." When I want a day off, I tell the boss "I'm taking thursday off." I don't need some contrived holiday to not show up to work.

Speaking of all of this. There was a kid back when I was in high school who was suspended from school for refusing to take off his shirt that had the confederate flag on it. There were no words on the shirt, apparently. Just the symbol on the front.

I don't seem to remember the ACLU running to his rescue. Must have been busy that day. The only thing Mexico and the Confederacy have in common, of course, is that they lost the war they were fighting and the land no longer belongs to them.


Here's a clue for you since you desperately need one. The ACLU believes that people in this country should be allowed to express their opinion; whether it's displaying an American flag, burning an American flag, displaying a Mexican flag or letting horseshit spill out of their mouth like you do.
This kid was expressing his opinion by waving a Mexican flag. Mr. Gym Teacher decided that the kid shouldn't be allowed to express his opinion and threw the flag in the trash, then lied about it like a weasel.


But the gym teacher was expressing his opinion about the Mexican flag. He thinks it belongs in the garbage. I don't necessarily agree with him, but he is entitled to his own opinion, no matter how poorly formed it might be.


You know it's funny. I was always under the impression that Country stood for Freedom. If that is the case what is wrong with the kid waving the Mexican Flag on Cinco De Mayo day?? That is part of the kids Heritage is it not?? You can be 100% American and still cherish Your ancestrial homelands. Does anyone bitch about say the Chinese Flag being waved n Chinatown?? Does anyone bitch about the Italian Flag being waved in say a Italian Restaurant?? Or the Irish Flag during St Patty's day?? Why then is Mexico being singled out?? Bigotry perhaps??


Have any Chinese, Italians or Irish removed the American flag flying at a post office and replaced it with their own flag lately?

I hope He does sue and wins. You may not like mexico(Not You specifically OohRah) But they have a right to be proud of their heritage just like talians the irish etc etc etc do. What that PE teacher did was BULLSHIT.


Maybe he should have just set it on fire and called it free speech.

Why do Americans even celebrate the 5th of May? It's not an important holiday to anyone other than the latinos, specifically the mexicans.

Thats fucking over the line Buffalo Bob. God damn man what has happened to You?? Just because Pinche Mao votes for fucksticks doesn't mean You should die for it or that His Death would be beneficial for America. You need a "Vacation" deluxe. I am ashamed that You call Yourself a Liberal.


This is nothing new Larry.

A year ago, Boob said that I should have my right to vote revoked and be stoned to death for not buying into Al Gore's version of global climate change.

Bob represents the worst of liberals. The "If you're not with us, you're against us" crowd, if you will.

We haven't had a good black stereotyping since 1992.


Not true.

Remember Katrina and the picture of the black man walking through waist deep water? He was stealing that stuff.

Then, remember pictures of white folks with bundles in their arms coming out of stores? They were foraging for food!

When all others fail at conjuring up images of thieves and murders, leave it to the media. They'll take care of it for ya.

Darwin Award Committee has received this persons application and has been notified that it will receive prompt attention.--The Committee


Well the committee shouldn't even bother to look at the application since the smoking of the joint did not result in the woman's untimley death. An event that is a requirement for Darwin Award Nomination.

Yeah Axiom, those Greens have caused huge changes in America. Get over yourself, this is a two party country choose one, if you don't like everything about it then change it as we have done for centuries now. Parties can and do change directions but only majorities make a difference. Third parties just give more power to the party most oppositional to that very third party.
You, Ralph Nader and the rest of y'all who are "above" American politics are the problem. Bush would never have been president if it hadn't been for third party voters not voting for what's best for America but voting their ego.


Don't you mean "choose the left". From your endless partisan diatribes here, it's obvious that you look down your nose at anyone who leans to the right.

I am really fond of folks who say "just choose one". More like caving in. "I don't want to work for a party who might have my best interests at heart because that would take hard work that might not be immediately gratifying." Sounds more like you'd just rather have it handed to you while you collect a check.

Al Gore and John Kerry lost because they were poor choices for candidates. It's comical that you can't decide whether the Republicans stole the election or if Ralph Nader caused your candidates to lose. You're so transparent.


BTW, Al Gore is a Democrat but he has caused more people to pay attention to the environment than the Green Party has ever managed to do.


Indeed. Like that time he said that America shouldn't sign the Kyoto Treaty until some changes were made, then he lost his bid for the presidency and changed his mind because it would get the easily convinced lefties to believe in him again.

When all is said and done and John McCain moves into the White House next January, I hope you can sit back and be content with "just choosing one".

Mars doesn't have a molten core so it doesn't have electromagnetic protection, therefore it doesn't have an atmosphere anymore. Mars' core has frozen.


But mars does haven an atmosphere. Next theory.

If the public limits what the government can do, it must accept that the risk of terrorist attacks may increase, he said. If the public gives the government greater authorities, it should not criticize the government for using those authorities at a later date.


Wow, I never thought I'd see someone actually come right out and say it. "Either give us all the power we want, or shit will start blowing up again..then we'll see how you feel about surrendering some more of those civil liberties".

At least they aren't trying to hide it.

Wow Axiom, you sure got me that time. And if you believe that you probably also believe GWB is a great President and that Iraq was involved with 9-11. You're a joke. I really don't know anybody on this website who takes you seriously, other than similarly situated idiotic rightwing douchebags. But knock yourself out.


Let's pick this apart.

1. I don't have any good feelings for GWB. Nice try, but I've been just as critical about him as any real American should.

2. I am not here to be taken seriously. If you're here for validation, might want to think about therapy and pills. They do work wonders.

3. I might be idiotic. It's all a matter of perspective. Do crazy people know they're crazy? Do dumb people know they're dumb? Who knows? But I'm defiantly not a right-winger.

So what we've learned by this is that you don't really have any basis for your loathing. So which ultra-liberal blog do you take your marching orders from?

I'd love to have an intelligent conversation with you, but I don't think you could keep up. Just copy and paste the next standard reply from your handbook below.

Zat, sometimes I think may you're a bit self conscious about something. You're always posting your long list of accomplishments like you're trying to compensate for something.

Is there something you want to tell us?

It's a thread about a country music singer who finally got her GED. Nobody gives a shit about hearing your story of how you built a radio station with your bare hands, two paper clips and half a stick of Wrigley's Spearmint, MacGuyver.

I wonder, if after a few years of a democrat in the White House and a democrat majority; will Taibbi be able to pay the bills without Christians and Republicans to write articles about?

An American Hero turned to mush by the Conservative hacks who call themselves Republicians. The republician Party itself doesn't not deserve to be running this Country. After 7 1/2 years what have they go to show for there time in power. It will take a generation to undo what these incompetent assholes have done..........


About the same thing that the dem's have after 2 years with, an albeit slim, majority.

Diddly shit.

As soon as you and the rest of the dipshits like you get it through your skulls that both parties are fucking this country up, we'll be able to move along and make some improvements.

But you won't do that. You'll go on thinking that a democrat is better for this country than voting for an independent or a green. You are part of the problem.
