I guess ya never heard of the 1st Amendment. I wasn't speaking legally. He has the right to call them all of bunch of cocksuckers, if he so chose. I was saying his complaints would be asinine because he made many times his salary in bonuses, an amount that is itself asinine. But what can you do, eh? People that are on food stamps are bums. Case closed. I don't agree with that, but it's not a factual point that can be proved or disproved, so we're at a stalemate. Yes, you may continue to be a commie sucking off the government tit.

Hope you had a great one.

--- Right now Obama is ahead of all the major Republican possible nominees when matched up one on one in polls and the economy sucks. Either the economy will have to suck even more or someone is gonna have to come out of left field for the Republicans. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html What you see is a generic Republican is competing with Obama but all the big names are not.

The bimbo is toast

Paul's only chance would be if all the anti-war folks realized Paul was the only anti-war candidate and flocked to the Republican primaries.

Sadly, a man of principle cannot win the Presidency. The American people are too stupid and greedy. Ike; We need to go back to being a nation, not an empire.

Thirty Republicans voted for the amendment. Those are my type of Republicans. It looks like we got a whole thirty members of the house who are ready to get serious about the deficit.

One guy hardly anyone has ever heard of critiquing two guys hardly anyone has ever heard of. Did you notice how often atheist boy quoted national statistics when it is a Wisconsin issue?

How are things in Austria?

Let us take the CEO of McDonald's who made 18 million one year. He has 1.5 million employees under him. Divide his salary by the number of employees and you get 12 dollars. It is quite easy to justify his salary. You didn't justify his salary. You gave me a number the CEO doesn't control divided by his income. It was actually probably the most ridiculous "justification" of anything I've ever seen. You did absolutely nothing for your argument. Let me put it to you quite clearly. People are paid in for what they can do to effect the company bottom line. You work smart, not neccesarrily hard. Would not you be willing to pay someone 19 bucks an hour for just giving you $20 every hour? I would. If ya want bonuses don't be a fry cook. pretty simple.

It's because TJ is stuck in his conservative mindset that poor people are bad because they didn't make themselves independently wealthy with good business plans and such. Mind you, that "independent wealth" is ALWAYS made by working said poor people like slaves for meager wages so they have more to line their pockets with. But why help them? TJ doesn't feel he should be financially responsible for these people, even though he supports crushing them under his boot to make money. TJ can go on and on about handouts all he wants, but you know why they want these "handouts"? Because the richest 1% of Americans hold like 70% of all of the money in the country, or something like that. When you can have people that run a company making multiple millions in a year, while the people on the bottom make 15,000 a year OR LESS, it's plain fucking unethical. Don't give me some bullshit diatribe about how they "worked for it". f you. There is NO AMOUNT OF WORK THOSE ASSHOLES PUT IN TO EARN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. Spread that out to the employees so they have livable wages and don't NEED food stamps and SSI. Being the cause of the problem, while calling out the problem and doing nothing to fix it, is bullshit. If companies paid us what we are actually WORTH to them, instead of the lowest amount they can legally get away with, then you would see a lot changing in this country. Instead, the poor get poorly paid to hold the ladder while the rich get ricocheted to the top of it. You are worth what you can get in this world. There are companies that rake in billions and pay their employees well e,g. oil companies). There are companies that make billions and pay their employees porrly (e.g. fast food franchises). You are paid based on your set of skills and, yes, there is a bit of luck involved but if you work at a poor paying job you need to look at how you can advance from that job. If the CEOs wages were divided among the other employees in almost all cases the renumeration to the other employees would be insignificant. Do not ask what government can do for yourself, ask what you can do for yourself. If all you can do is cook fries you deserve to be poor. I came down to Houston, Texas in the middlle of the last great recession in 1980 with $500. Ain't got rich yet, but ain't never asked nobody for nothing I caint get on my own.

Left out be and axe

I am just hoping her latest boyfriend did not turn out to an weilding maniac like his predecessor.

I hope the old bat is having a good one.

[On ancient Athens]: In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. – Edward Gibbon

Reagan had to do the same thing in 82 as Clinton in 94 and Obama today, move to the center after the voters handed his party major setbacks in the midterm elections. Reagan's greatest strength was enunciating the classical liberal values our nation was founded upon and bringing the tenets of classical liberalism back into the political debate. The fact is Americans want their entitlements and low taxes both; something is going to have to give. Yes, the tea partiers will run into the same problems Reagan did when the spending cuts gets specific.

All most people need is a catostrophic health insurance policy with a $10,000 annual deductible. This would encourage them to shop around for basic healthcare and prevent them from going bankrupt in the event of a stroke, cancer, heart attack, accident, etc.. This is the route I will take when I go back to self-employment. Providing I am not forced to buy a policy I do not want. I went without insurance when I was self-employed and found a doctor who charged me significantly less than her insured patients and gave me free samples for my blood pressure medication. She did not have to pay someone to file the insurance claims; a wim/win situation. The major reason for high medicine costs is third parties pay most of the bills. No one spends other peoples' money as effectively as they spend their own. Obamacare worsens this situation. The solution to lower healthcare costs is les government, not more.

I am in the majority when it comes to thinking Palin ain't Presidential material. That ain't real radical. If the Republicans wish to beat Obama they need to pick someone else. I prefer someone with Jeffersonian principles without a history of being a socialist and a quitter.

like wiping your own ass. I got an illegal latina who dies that for me.

It ain't just the radicals opposing Palin. 71 percent of the American people and 52% of Republicans do not think she is Presidential material and less than half of the self described conservatives. Not because she increased socialism in a state that was already the most socialist state in the union, but because time after time she has shown little knowledge of the issues and no willingness to learn. I oppose her because she is a GW clone with no solid economic conservative principles. Most people oppose her because she has shown an inability to answer simple questions in an interview. She comes across as another Snooki type reality star. A huckster who is making the most of her 15 minutes of fame. Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice--Barry Goldwater, the mentor to Ronald Reagan. http://www.amazon.com/Last-Jeffersonian-Ronald-Radical-Democracy/dp/1930586175 I suggest you read that book and understand the radicalism of Ronald Reagan and why we cannot let Reagan be the last Jeffersonian.

Yeah, products full of lead and toxic material. Everything from drywall to vitamins. Tell me who are the real idiots :ninja: I will bet the stuff is in Chinese homes and no one is complaining. We are a nation of whiners.
