mountaineerwv Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 ...It is edited b-tch! So you can go f-ck youself a-shole! Hey is that four replies now, still one post? ... Come on, tell me how you really feel. Don't hold back, let it out. I think Section 4, subsection 6, paragraph 3 in the posters handbook talks about this kind of improper posting etiquette. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmccap Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So then, maybe Mountain will tell us............since I know he doesn't want any of our tax rates to go over the communistic level of an overall of 50%, what spending he would cut to get these new programs instituted. And oh, the termination of action in Iraq is not nearly enough, so you better have something more on the plate than that. Yep, what program(s) you gonna cut to fund all these wonderful ideas, or rather are you coming to us to pay waaaaaaaaay more? And also, show us what politician believes these ideas, and is willing to CUT the programs before starting any new give aways. Ima here's a pretty good interview with Jim Rogers if you take the time to listen to what he's saying. He talks about Communists and regulations and my favorite, abolishing the Federal Reserve with good reason. If you do watch it also pay attention to the part about why recessions are good. VIDEO: Jim Rogers Calls For Abolishing The Federal Reseve Jim Rogers a well respected financial analyst openly calls for the abolishment of the Federal Reserve on CNBC.

fmccap Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Just imagine what good that kind of money could do for America. [A] wise and frugal government... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methos Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Love the sig! How appropriate coming from the man that wrote the "system of logic". Debating most conservatives is like debating one of those five dollar digital recording devices. It can talk, has allot to say, but is incapable of reasoned logic. It only repeats what it's been told. I used to think that debating them would prove beneficial. In that it brings other ideas and perspectives to light, for them and me. No longer. I have used this analogy before, always with jest; however, no longer. It really is like Plato's Cave in that some are trapped in their ignorance and unable to see the light, only the shadows given by their oppressors, which I liken to the conservative media. If you must debate one, then cut to the chase and start asking them "why" they believe as they do, it's a real conversation killer to a conservative.

Thank You for the support as it appears that reason and facts escape the minds of dogmatic conservatives. My brother believes as they do so I know it is not genetic, it is lack of research and verifying what you hear from their media elites, i.e. Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Savage, Morgan, Barnes, Beck, Bozell, Cavuto, Ingraham, Malkin, Morris, Rove,.. i.e. anyone from Fox News! I love Keith Olbermann's The Worst Person In the World. Notice how often these personalities are caught in their lies and distortions. One of the great news shows on TV.

Because I believe in real freedom. Why do you support all this government intervention???? Are you not responsible enough to take care of yourself???? Do you believe in our once great Constitution that has been shredded by both parties???? Both parties are at fault and you don't seem to see that light. How government makes things worse But to earn high ratings, banks were forced to make increasingly risky loans toborrowers who wouldn't qualify for a mortgage under normal standards of creditworthiness. The Community Reinvestment Act, made even more stringent during the Clinton administration, trapped lenders in a Catch-22. "If they comply," wrote Loyola College economist Thomas DiLorenzo, "they know they will have to suffer from more loan defaults. If they don't comply, they face financial penalties . . . which can cost a large corporation like Bank of America billions of dollars." "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe," warned Mark Twain, "whileCongress is in session." Mark Twain was a humorist, but that was no joke.
