Whats the alternative to sanctions? I don't think we really want to be contemplating attacking them do we? As to Saddam and sanctions ,lets not forget he had no WMD's and that UN inspectors were withdrawn by the US over their objections (Hans Blix).We miscalcualted big time in Iraq,lets not...

^^ What he said.:thumbsup: I saw that too,I thought Beck came off as being disingenuous when he said that.He would have voted for Hillary over McCain.Sure you would have Glenn. I been meaning to mention to you about Bachmann what my ******* who lived there till very recently told me...

Easy huh.:rofl: He puts up a link that shows that a Canadian province is having funding problems, as if that makes our system look good.Can you imagine how much of a funding problem they would have if they spent the double per person on health care the US does vs. Canada? Yeah somebodys...

Lets just post it,it's not that long.:) http://articles.latimes.com/2009/aug/03/opinion/oe-rachlis3 "A Canadian doctor diagnoses U.S. healthcare The caricature of 'socialized medicine' is used by corporate interests to confuse Americans and maintain their bottom lines instead of patients'...

Don't get hung up on the word Czar,it's been used in the govt for decades,a slang word used for man in charge of a specific area.The **** Czar,the energy Czar etc.And while you didn't come right out and say it it was a sign of Obama's socialist (communist) tendencies in your mind I will remind...

Thats really the choice here, the govt or corporate control of health care.Too bad obama is not proposing the govt take it over from these corporate robber barons who have us where we have as I have said so many times the most expensive costly system in the world that doesn't even cover...

Yep nothing should ever change in the country.Never should have allowed women to vote,freed the slaves etc. C'mon now Will E that isn't a reasonable position.Just cause its the way it is don't make it right.Sometimes change has gotta happen right?

I saw that interview.Boehner had to distance himself from head of the RNC Steele who had called Obama a socialist.They just keep digging themselves a hole to nowhere with such comments by Steele,Joe Wilson etc and can't even agree on what their message is themselves.Some want to call Obama...

Change the offending group and that reads like Mein Kampf.

To answer the question directly Obama is and has been in the "middle".Center left yes but still very much in the center.If he were a lefty he would be proposing a single payer govt run health care plan for one as well as dramatic cuts in corporate welfare and defense spending.But he has not and...

I'm waiting for "Soylent green" to be on the market as well. But seriously I think any of these new things as long as deemed safe to eat are ok and probably needed as well.Lots more people need lots more food stuffs,doubt we can supply all but lets give it a shot.But soylent green is still a...

Doesn't matter what age or health you are Jag.The costs and the economic effects apply to all.Not that I don't think you know that.:D I heard yesterday a buisness group (no lefty's them lol) released a report that said by 2019 the cost per employee for health insurance would go from the...

I have to laugh when I hear or read some of the things you do on this issue. 1. I saw republicans in congress saying how they would never vote for a plan that puts the govt between patients and doctors and decision making about care.Like there isn't already somebody between those people...

"God shave the queen" -Title of the poll This bump of an old DVC thread reminds of how funny he was.:1orglaugh:(

An Altered one.:party:

I only watched a little of the 1st vid.When they bring out proverbs and the bible I know I can just dismiss them.:bowdown::1orglaugh But if the message in them is that swine flu ,etc is all some conspiracy by the US govt I think that is just whacky load of you know what.If the US wants to...

She has never subjected herself to the scrutiny that comes with running for office and has made it pretty plain she almost definately never will.I can understand that,it isn't a comfortable easy process. Also she really does not have a good record to run on.Namreg pointed out what she would...

Loved him as a *** on Laugh-IN. R.I.P Henry

R.I.P. Mary you and the group were part of of my ********* and after."Puff the magic dragon" will always be my favorite out of an awesome body of work.:bowdown:

Mayans,nostradamus,religious prohecies all IMO have the same amount of validity which is none.Compared to what we know now they are all like neanderthals. Reminds me of a 19th century group in the US known as the "Millerites". "The Millerites were the followers of the teachings of William...

I think its easy to understand that a high % of doctors would support anything that means more patients.Some might be motivated by the idea that all should have access and some might just like the idea of more patients and more people to bill whether thats an insurance company the govt or...

I won't annoy some with a new thread on the issue and since this is the latest will just post the latest news on it here.Before I do I will just say Michael Moore was on with Leno last night discussiing his new movie about capitalism which I only knew/know a little about so far.The comment I...

It might snow? Christmas shopping? :dunno::crash:

And as you will know but some won't realize or know when you add in civilian deaths for the russians the total is probably somewhere around 20 million dead.I know that when later in the 50s and the US and USSR were at odds we would sometimes say " Hey USSR how about paying us for that material...

Just more Lisa to love now.:thumbsup:

I liked a lot of them pretty much equally.And they did sound quite a bit similar to each other.Will mention a few favs and notables not mentioned yet though. 1.Pinhead 2.Rockaway beach 3.****'s boy 4. I just wanna have something to do Notables 1.The KKK took my baby away (great title lol)...

You don't have to pay for whats on regular stations.There is still free broadcast TV you can get with the old style antenna.TV was not totally free even back in the past,it was paid for by advertisers and their commercials.Cable and later dish came along and offered for a fee the ability to get...

Gotta say I would love to see the context of such a quote from Morgan Freeman.The implication that if we just didn't talk about something like racism it would just go away I don't think is something Morgan would say,or if he did I would not agree with him.The progress we saw during the civil...

I will just add to this nice little thread my thoughts on "affirmative action".:D I just love these contentions that if you are white in this country you are being screwed and blacks or minoritites have unfair advantages.First I would say look at any statistics on unemployment rates ,wealth...

Our tax system is so upside down its a crime.Just like the example Buffet gave he pays lower % than his employees even though he makes 100s even 1000s of times what they do.Ability to pay is the criteria we should be operating under and that would mean people like Buffet (and he agrees) should...

^^^^ Agreed ,such people are not helping the conservatives in any way. Keith Olbermann Special Comment: Rep Joe Wilson - You're Wrong! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Bf3i3PnUc Keith talks about lying presidents,racist Joe Wilson, etc.

So the white republican representative from SC don't like Obama.Who cares if what he says Obama is lying about is not true or not.Just slam the black president for any and all reasons probably plays well with some in SC.But then there are elements of the republican party (like all the ones who...

Just to respond to this part Jason I would say that the republicans really have tried to depict it that way.Namely that they are pro-****** and the democrates are not. Whats the old biblical saying."Let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone"? Thats the issue many of us have with these...

Disposable items like light bulbs which last longer and use less energy are a good idea.Saving money and energy always a good idea. But you wanna watch this lets not upgrade attitude Chef before you get branded an anti-capitalist communist or something.:D Think about this ,light bulbs...

So did America and it's ******** make it through the day?:dunno::rofl:

Re: Capitalism: A Love Story -- by Michael Moore Sure and one of their films is the subject of an ongoing supreme court case.It was made by a guy named David Bossie:thefinger and was blocked from being shown during the last campaign on TV as it was deemed in ********* of the McCain-Feingold...

Thought Iraq was a friend now of america? :dunno::) They were ,then they weren't ,they are then they aren't.I admit its hard to keep up.**** iranians we like ya.Be in the middle east after 9/11 we don't like any of ya.Wonder did Bush just close his eyes and stick a pin in a map of the middle...

Deans "political advice" (50 state stradegy) as head of the DNC prior to the last election served then pretty well.:D No such thing as "free" health care.And as I have said to you before I think POV is at work here again.You think people for a radical change in how we do health care are...

I wonder what Hannity and Beck and most other conservatives would think of porn/erotica? Actually I don't wonder, I know they think its immoral and one of the things that has gone wrong about our culture.But were suppose to be worried about dems and Obama taking away freedoms.:rolleyes:

Their idea of a lefty is someone like the guy Colmes who used to do a show with Hannity.He fricking agreed with the **** Hannity way to much to be considered any sort of lefty,no real lefty ever gets on Fox or on any main stream media outlet for that matter.Rupert Murdoch (the owner of all those...

:1orglaugh:thumbsup:

Re: Taking on Joe and Jane American ... The worst/best example of how unqualified and truly uninformed she was IMO was when she and Biden were interviewed by Katie Couric who asked both of them identical questions. "Palin can't name a Supreme Court case"...

As someone who was young but remembers LBJ as president I have to say you could not be be more wrong about the civil rights bills and his being the one who pushed them.He browbeat republicans and the the southern dems into it.I had posted here maybe a year ago a speech LBJ had made on the the...

Show me any post where I said I was against any ***????? But you have the ******* *** thing totally backwards.Guns are not smuggled into the US,it's the other way round and that is undeniable.Unscrupulous *** dealers in the US are heavily involved in it for the money. And again this...

Re: Fox blatant right v. Big 3 ******** heart Here I am gonna have to disagree somewhat.While I totally agree that I don't think Clinton had the remotest intention of ever doing a full scale invasion of Iraq I think Bush 1 totally saw it the same way.His experience with the world and such...

These kinds of interests have over-riden integrity on such things for centuries ,probably forever. Just for the record I was not holding the US up as being any different in such matters.Situational ethics is something we also engage in and have quite a lot.

Like everything else it is and always has been determined by the supreme court.they are the ones given the reponsibility to determine constitutionality.Some *** control laws have been determined to be constitutional,some have not.That may not be what the founders intended but we have given the...

Somehow I knew that was what this was really going to be about.Just another non fact based ****** on Obama ,dems ,liberals etc, Like the health care proposals as an example in any way could be said to not be constitutuional,guess medicare ,social security etc etc etc must also be...

I am surprised Obama's name has not come up here yet.:1orglaugh

It really is shocking isn't it how the same things can be viewed so differently by people.In my "4 things that could sink america" thread one of those things was how uninformed some americans are and how that leads to what you have posted here in some cases.Don't trust gov't but trust...
