RE: Are "real" terminators coning?

Yeah well.... the USofA is working real hard at being a permanent force of nature.

RE: Are "real" terminators coning?

Boys with their bright ideas and big toys, have gotten us into more trouble than anything mother nature could come up with.

RE: Are "real" terminators coning?

Just more 'who gives damn' toys to keep wars impersonal and global domination on the road to Armageddon.. military personnel and innocent civilian the collateral damage, the bonus being not having to listen to the overburdened and abused troops seeing the light about just why they're there risking life and limb... for someone elses profit.



"This is one of the ultimate consequences of “lesser-evilism.” Those in the anti-war movement who have backed Obama because he is considered less of a warmonger (a myth completely dispelled by this debate) are in effect demobilizing the one sector that has the ability to influence the policy on the war.

By choosing to keep silent and off the streets to ensure that the “more evil” Republican Party does not win, they allow the Democratic Party to pursue the same policy without even having to even give lip service to the needs and will of the people.

The debates showed us that if we want any change whatsoever in U.S. foreign policy—a policy of endless, constant warfare in the interests of the super-rich—it will have to come from below; not from privileged politicians pandering to war-profiteers, who consider our lives worthless cannon fodder."

RE: Obama Out Rai$e$ Romney---------> AGAIN

Well... now that was one big fat whopper!

Just follow the money, where it comes from and where it leads... all in the pockets of the very few people completely detached from 'normal', wanting more entitlements and money and more of everything.. begrudging a few crumbs to the rest. Makes it easier to have a government whose sole purpose is to serve the masters of mistakes and misdeeds created by their own greed.

RE: The Top 5 Most Ridiculous Gov’t Expenses Found in This Year’s ‘Wastebook’

that would be Caymans not Caimans.

RE: The Top 5 Most Ridiculous Gov’t Expenses Found in This Year’s ‘Wastebook’

Yep... just the lesser of 2 strawmen because at this point, after 11 years of government that has been so altered and warped that we hardly recognize what we once stood for.

Follow the money.

RE: The Top 5 Most Ridiculous Gov’t Expenses Found in This Year’s ‘Wastebook’

As I said, we don't have a government functioning for the best interests of most of it's citizens.. Democrat or Republican.. they've been bought and have sold most of us down the river.

Try bringing up a graph with comparisons between the 2 parties or you're just pointing fingers in the air and there is too much of that going on on both sides. Because frankly it's been a long time since there has been a 'conservative' on the Right or a Dem in government 'service' who remembers who he's supposed to be.

If 50% of congress are millionaires... where do you think their interests lay? Not with the majority of this countries citizens.

If you are so deluded to think Romney is a conservative working for your interests (well unless you have a couple of million in the Caimans you don't want to pay taxes on), you really need to understand what you think a president should be. Because he's changed his mind 'on camera' and told so many verifiable lies so many times to appease his backers that I in amazement when thinking what warped values you apparently support. If you can't see he's sold his soul to the Bush/Cheney et al company store, you deserve the repercussions. Maybe then you'll see the light.

RE: The Top 5 Most Ridiculous Gov’t Expenses Found in This Year’s ‘Wastebook’

Members of Congress not only porked out at record levels, they also made it difficult for opponents of such spending to protest its inclusion in the appropriations bills. Some bills were brought to the floor on a limited basis. At other times members had less than 24 hours between the bill’s release from committee and the final vote. These closed-door tactics ensured that appropriators, as leaders of the spending cult in Washington, could logroll their way to a 297 percent increase in pork since 1997.

If you don't see that as changing the course of your liberties to the point that today, due to the bribery of the very rich, we no longer have a functioning government, but one that has simply been sold to the highest bidder... I'd call you blind and.... happily bought like everyone else, but not an American who gives a damn about his country.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Reform and change?

Sort of like voting for 2 horses running the same race owned by the same masters. I'd call that a win/win situation for them, wouldn't you? Unfortunately in politics unlike the lotto... outsiders never win.

RE: should the eu get the nobel economics prize

Only if they cancel all outstanding debt that they sought.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Sweetie, human life has been in flux and motion for 200,000 years.. that is not going to change no matter how precious our 'now' home is. It's all in how we adapt and deal with the changes that makes the difference whether it will be livable or not.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Look I know you're a bigot... just on general principles, and don't you read anything into my terminology, I'm NOT a joiner of any kind, just one of the small crowd who actually thinks for themselves without labels. Me thinks you've been sparring with Con too long, he loves his labels doesn't he?

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

I guess I'll go with this definition... but is anyone really boxable?

1. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

2.Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Hi Jac

Yeah well Rumple, I'm a yank born and raised and disgusted by the filthy mess the world bankers and American Imperialists have put all of us in! We are at a major shift in our existence and no one gives a damn as long as 1% of them survive and flourish. The proletariat, the poor, the starving, the war torn.. all have become expendable. It's all an immense set of dominoes.... falling and crashing everyone.

The death of conscience at home, means the death of us and everyone else. We are all connected.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Well I'm a liberal and certainly not happy about our world falling down around our heads at all! Or us sticking our noses in everybody elses business for fun and profit.
Charity begins at home.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Not in my town anyway.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Then you are blessed in the UK... which I've found in general that the English have always had a wonderful sense of charity!

Because frankly here in Italy they really don't offer up much of anything other than prayer, but they're often found asking for handouts for the poor blacks in Africa, while the ones on their doorsteps are totally ignored... and we have a lot of them.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Only within the pews my son... if they're wearing Red you'll get a pat on the head and told to pray.

RE: What motivates philanthropists?

Well if it wasn't for them buying their way to heaven for past sins, the Catholic churches would be quite dowdy today.

RE: UK helps injured Pakistan girl.

I sure hope her spirit and brain remain intact... or the asses have won again. Bravo UK, my fingers are crossed!

These are certainly morally bereft times for many.

RE: ROMNEY'S LATEST SHAMEFUL LIE!

He didn't START those wars... remember? Altho you neocons seem to be fond of forgetting the past when it suits you.

RE: ROMNEY'S LATEST SHAMEFUL LIE!

You don't pay much attention do you? It's been quite awhile that I haven't been a 'believer' in the great black hope... but you've always had a convenient way of not noticing, reading, listening to what you don't want to.

RE: ROMNEY'S LATEST SHAMEFUL LIE!

While I'm not fond of the libertarian hatred of government per se, I just read Rand Pauls' book, Government Bullies: How Everyday Americans Are Being Harassed, Abused, and Imprisoned by the Feds.

I do believe that most of what he's said is true (well except the parts about blaming Obama for everything ).. believe me it started way before him! But what he fails to emphasize is that our government has been bought by special interests who have a mad desire to control us, our free thought and deny us by legally changing the rights and privileges that our constitution tried to formulate to protect us.

If money can buy governments, then roughshod plutocratic dictators make for obedient, even if conveniently deluded sheep... in the short term. You can only hold them down for so long before they see the unsavory light of their true confinement, as history has proven.

Do you want the red pill of the blue pill?

Dang it, it wouldn't post the whole link, hang on.

Try this one:

RE: 46% Americans Believe In Creationism According To Latest Gallup Poll

So does this mean that 46% of the population would still rather have any fairy tale that someone spouts rather than a proven fact?

Yup... that sounds about right.
