The funny thing is I used to be a proof reader.

Love your threads, Sassy. I would never spell check in this place anyway; waaay too much work!

RE: Communist Party USA

Yes they have been very clever. That link I posted, or the one you sent me earlier, should be mandatory reading for every American heading to the election polls this November. I don't worry about myself so much as I started making an exit strategy four years ago after Obama got elected. So many good Americans are going to get caught unawares and end up in a miserable situation. That frustrates me. I love this country and all the many different people who make up it's backbone. I can't imagine what life here will be for them 5 years down the road - or 20, whatever.

Read up Peeps!

Walking into Mordor



The above video was snitched from this article, which is very easy to read (but not so easy to digest)...

Thank you!

It took me a minute there, but that was funny!

RE: Communist Party USA

Totally agree.

Did you hear the story about Valerie Jarret's father-in-law writing an article for a newspaper here in Florida back in the late 70's about how Saudi money was being sent here in droves to fund individual blacks and organizations serving black interests? It wasn't long after that Obama surfaced and now he doesn't make a move without her.

RE: Communist Party USA

Allen West IS awesome! (that video was actually kind of mild for him )

RE: Has The West FAILED? Are we doomed? Part 2

I think it is "WE" who are the fools. The vast majority of Americans have no idea that what they are doing amounts to the most massive amount of wealth transfer in our entire history.

And people still support Obama... Dumb, Dumb DUMB!!!

RE: Communist Party USA

Hi HL... I just finished watching the video. King is soooo busted. How do stupid people get elected anyway?

Anyway, back right after Obama got elected the party grew very cocky and published a list of it's Washington members...I think it was 40 percent of Obama's first congress were listed??? (Not this current congress, but the one we threw out in 2010).

At any rate, I visited the site myself and it was all there for anyone to see....and then suddenly they went underground as soon as people started talking about it.


When is America going to wake up and see what is happening right under their noses????

RE: Communist Party USA

Now it's clear why Alan West is being targeted so forcefully! Good news is I read last night that he is up in the polls by about 9 percentage points.



Isn't it INTERESTING that both Danny K. Davis AND the "Communist Party U.S.A. are bothe headquartered in Chicago?????

How nice that the rep. is being honored by the People’s World for a lifetime of “inspiring leadership. I'm sure Obama will be next..

DEATH PANELS

Everyone knows the New York Times is the right arm of the liberals..so don't think for a minute that this article RECOMMENDING death panels is there by mistake and it's not the first time for them either.

The NYT has called for health care rationing several times in the past and published articles by others supporting it. It did again on Saturday with an article by one of its opinion writers, a former Obama Treasury Department adviser, named Steve Rattner. From, “Beyond Obamacare:”


"WE need death panels."

That’s what the technocratic class believes. We need to do away with the expensive and nonproductive rather than waste money caring for them. Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently — rationing, by its proper name — the exploding cost of Medicare will swamp the federal budget.

Yes, all of us who warned that this was the agenda were such alarmists and conspiracy theorists, weren’t we? But we are right

"No one wants to lose an aging parent. And with price out of the equation, it’s natural for patients and their families to try every treatment, regardless of expense or efficacy. But that imposes an enormous societal cost that few other nations have been willing to bear. Many countries whose health care systems are regularly extolled — including Canada, Australia and New Zealand — have systems for rationing care.

Take Britain, which provides universal coverage with spending at proportionately almost half of American levels. Its National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence uses a complex quality-adjusted life year system to put an explicit value (up to about $48,000 per year) on a treatment’s ability to extend life. At the least, the Independent Payment Advisory Board should be allowed to offer changes in services and costs. We may shrink from such stomach-wrenching choices, but they are inescapable.



Long story short...at least under our current health care system people have choices. Under Obamacare, you can kiss your choice goodbye.

RE: Has The West FAILED? Are we doomed? Part 2

Back to your original post, Alberta. I do agree that economies have been worse and survived. Reagan probably inherited a bigger mess than Obama (but he just didn't whine about it so much). We survived.

My one concern is all this quantative easing and how it has not only devalued the dollar, but the fact that the Obama Administration have given a green light to just continually print more money every month with no set end period. That is horribly dangerous and also a horrendous wealth transfer from the masses to the US Government, Corporations and other nations.

Everytime they print new money it is theft of the masses. Once hyperinflation sets in we simply won't get as much for our dollars (already happening of course, but much worse is on the way).

There are alot of other variables going on out there right now that will also be significant. If Israel attacks Iran gas will double which would put a big hurt on Europe. In their current state, I'm not sure they have enough to continue producing an meeting obligations under those constraints. The US government alone (not including US banks) has loaned over $7 trillion to the euro, so we all now swim in a very large, dangerous pond at the moment.

And then there is the matter of what happens if Obama gets re-elected.

Plus there is the whole issue of Fiat currency in general. I could be wrong, but I think I learned somewhere that no fiat currency has ever survived long term...

Interested in hearing your thoughts...

RE: Has The West FAILED? Are we doomed? Part 2

"Among people whose education culminated in a bachelor’s
degree, the cost of total compensation averaged
15 percent more for federal workers than for similar
workers in the private sector.

Among people with a high school diploma or less education, total compensation costs averaged 36 percent more for federal employees. "

Sorry. I meant to post that these numbers are from the Congressional Budget Office - 2011 figures.

It is true that those with higher education make approximately 18 % more in the private sector - but there are far fewer of them than there are average "Middle Class" earners.

Considering government jobs do not generate money, we damn sure better elect someone who knows how to generate private sector jobs or all thos cushy federal jobs will have their funding cut.

RE: Has The West FAILED? Are we doomed? Part 2

Perhaps that is because overall public sector employees are paid more and have better retirement packages. A sweet deal until you factor in the thought that their high wages and retirement compensation is paid for off the backs of the Walmart workers.

RE: Who is going to win the american presidential election in November? Obama or Romney?

Did you know that the Obamacare bill says all medical professionals will make the same pay regardless of their specialty?

Why would anyone want to take on all those BIG extra medical costs to specialize in something when they are not going to see any return?

RE: From where, whom..... 2012 USA Presidential Candidates Get Their Money?

We all know that Obama and the liberals have an unholy alliance with the unions over here. I don't really mind that private-sector unions support them, but I do think it's wrong that individuals are "forced" to join the union when they take a job with a union company and then are "forced" to pay dues which are then funnelled into the democratic party - whether they are democrats or not.

But it is REALLY dirty politics when government unions, which are funded exclusively by tax payer dollars, automatically deduct dues from all employees which are then funneled back to the Democrats. This is collusion of the worst kind and its wrong on so many levels it's hard to emphasize the level of deceit. It is a classic "One hand washes the other" scenario - except neither party is playing with it's own money...the tax payer loses on both ends of the bargain and that is just dirty, rotten politics.

It's a moot point because both of these candidates are strongly backed by big banks and corporations, bu I would much rather have a candidate who is backed by American companies which contribute to the well-being of our nation, rather than a candidate who is backed by labor unions who only care about their dues and not the employees.

What? No new taxes?

RE: If you are "Not Single, Not Looking" Why do you have a profile on a DATING SITE???

It's different for everyone, but you have to remember that this is the internet and there's lots of "damaged" people out there. Some of us join because we aren't ready to date yet, but hope getting out here and chatting with other singles will help speed the process. Some are coming out of a bad break up and looking but not anxious. Some are single and just looking to talk with other singles...hence the name Connecting Singles. Others? Well who knows? We all walk a different path...

Can't you set your searches for people who are looking for specific things so you don't get annoyed?

That's weird! I had a whole list of corporate donors before that paragraph but it didn't post.. Goldman Sachs, General Electric, Morgan Stanley... not to mention people from these companies (and Monsanto) that he has placed in key political appointments.

And then there are the billions in stimulus loans going to donors like Solendra...

RE: From where, whom..... 2012 USA Presidential Candidates Get Their Money?

Of course then you have his million dollar donor George Soros who has ownership in both Media Matters and Huffington post.. So really he has most of the mainstream media all buttoned up.

Thank heavens we now have the internet.
