$150-%64=$86. That is the surplus the boss gets? What total bullshit! The jacket has to be delivered to the stores. The truck driver has to be paid. The store has to sell the jacket. The sales clerk has to be paid. The leather in the jacket alone costs more than the two bucks this idiot is saying.The fact is businesses that do not go under tend to have a profit margin of 2 to 10%, that is what the owner or shareholder ends up with and what Marx's Labor Theory of Value would attribute to the owner. Marx's Theory of value, of course, is fatally flawed by the fact that capitral is simply stored labor. You ran a pizza place, Bender. Were your non-employee costs 2% of the price of the pizza? Are you a wealthy man today? No, to answer the question, Obama is not a socialist. He is a hardcore fascist as opposed to GW's moderate facism and the state of Alaska's socialism. Socialism is when the government owns the means of productions. Fascism is when government controls the output of production. Mussolini, the founder of modern fascism was a Marxist. He understood businessman could produce more than government bureaucrats and that it was much easier to confiscate wealth than it is to produce it.

Since there is no fine now how would imposing a fine make matters worse? What a bimbo. Maybe she can be Paris Hilton's BFF.

What Reagan and GHW Bush were thinking was the need of maintaining the balance of power in the Middle East. Hussein was a moderate Sunni in a nation approximately 70% Shiite at war with a fundamentalist Shiite nation, Iran. It was important that Iraq not be defeated by Iran. Of course, GW screwed up that power balance and now we have an empowered Iran as the consequence. Looks like the Jews got a nasty little trick up their sleeve to spoil Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Chiefs and Texans both 2-0. A good season so far.

How did I miss Constitution Day?

no but the 14 resolutions and 9/ll told him to. How many resolutions were there against Israel? Since when do we take orders from the United Nations?

God sure gave GW some lousy advice.

Here are a few of the jobs created.

I would say it is a football field away. Speaking of football, Mizzou beat previously undefeated perennial powerhouse McNeese State 50-6!

Last I heard, the pinheaded pastor has called it off. He's had his ten seconds in the limelight, and most of his flock have deserted him. There's two sides to radicalism in any religion. Not pretty whichever way you look at it. Would a Quran still burn if the media was not there?

We could have only been that lucky.<_< Ditto!

Since all of America is part of Ground Zero. Since TJ has already claimed to have built a mosque. I suspect he is just peeved because he did not get the contract.

Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven't had capitalism. A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. It's not capitalism when the system is plagued with incomprehensible rules regarding mergers, acquisitions, and stock sales, along with wage controls, price controls, protectionism, corporate subsidies, international management of trade, complex and punishing corporate taxes, privileged government contracts to the military-industrial complex, and a foreign policy controlled by corporate interests and overseas investments. Add to this centralized federal mismanagement of farming, education, medicine, insurance, banking and welfare. This is not capitalism! Ron Paul

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Just watched Rauf interviewed on Larry King. He condemned Hamas. He seems like a man who sincerely wants peace.

The reason we have a Constitution is to prevent the "will of the people" i.e. the majority from oppressing minorities. The fact that eminent domain has already been sadly misused does not mean that misuse should spread. What seperates our nation from others is the Constitution. Every time you weaken it the fascists and socialists win.

They are not. Some (including our resident nutcase) have suggested they should.

James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, weighs in on the mosque controversy:

'Death panel' is not in the bill... it already exists Where in the Constitution is the federal government empowered to force individuals to buy a product from a private company? Where in the Constitution is the federal government empowered to decide who lives and who dies?

These religious leaders recognize that any attempt by government to stop this mosque will be an attack on religious freedom.

Imam Feisal: Such a statement flies in the face of reality, misinformation, plugged images to Ground Zero... we make pilgrimage to Mecca. The choice of language shows a misunderstanding of how Muslims think and who Muslims are, and what the vast majority of Muslims are concerned with. The vast majority of Muslims, 99.99999 percent of them are concerned about life and the pursuit of happiness issues. We want safety for our families and children. Muslims are the largest victims of Muslim extremism. We don't like it, we hate it, we abhor it. My track record in speaking to... members of Congress, think tanks, at churches, at synagogues, at mosques, is a track record of focusing on the spiritual dynamics of our faiths, of enhancing the ethical principles of our faiths, in trying to steer people away from radical understanding of our faiths. And so, the poignancy of this all is I've been called and accused, even by the radicals, of being a moderate. People have said, 'Where are the voices of the moderate Muslims?' and here I am trying to do something that expands and amplifies the voice of the moderates in Islam. And how they can conclude this would be a pilgrimage for the radicals is the very opposite of the truth. The fact of the matter is that we are a threat to the radicals because we are the most articulate advocates for combating radicalism. You have to transform people by utilizing the values that they think. When I speak to Muslim audiences, I use the verses of the Koran which we, Muslims, believe to be God's words. I use the teachings of the Prophet because these are the things that convince them. I use these languages, these methods, to calm that radicalism. So our stated objective is to establish this as a launching point, as a headquarters if you want, of a global understanding, of a moderate Islam that is true to its fundamental principles. And to accuse us as being the opposite of that flies in the face of our stated vision, our mission, my track record and everything I've ever done or stood for.

The best thing to do is go to the actual Gallup poll.

No TJ.. I sold my business when I went back to school because I wanted to become a licensed RN.. started school debt free.. graduated school debt free.. still debt free.. what the f ck are you talking about? I get enough income in interest every month off my savings alone to pay all my monthly bills.. I envy no one.. especially you. Are you bitter that your business is failing and wanna blame it on the government? Maybe you and the other big shots shoulda shared the wealth a little more so your business wouldn't now be floundering.. Well sh t, I envy you. He is single. Ain't got no vagina bill.

What an ass.
