At first I read:

2) Take a nice HUMMER and start hitting yourself in the forehead with it.


Works just fine, doesn't it? And explains a lot about the Rappiness.

I really hope you were talking about the oversized, overpriced, now-extinct SUV. Although some of the recent love-fest between Rappy and KKKaney leaves room for doubt.


The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.


Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama:
Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Oh yeah. I was picturing the insanely huge, overengineered, and wasteful vehicle bashing Auraptor in the head repeatedly, yet making no progress. (To be clear: I mean our beloved Rappy no harm, and none would be done in such a scenario. If reality can't break through that skull, how would a multi-ton vehicle?)

BTW, this thread's at 40+ hits in a day, and that's without the title character stepping in. That hasn't happened in a while, huh?

You always want to invoke the former presidents name as if it ever meant something. These events you refer to occured under a progressive congress....follow the trends of congressional power and you can predict prosperity. The mistake average people make is to think that the chief executive plays some real role in american prosperity.

The republican congress helped fuel the roaring economy of the 90's, Clinton had naught to do with it. Our congress changed in Jan 2007 and soon afterwards we suffered for it. When the congress changes again in Jan 2011 we can expect growth to be the result.

Hey, you might be onto something. After all, there were solid Republican majorities in the early 20th Century, leading all the way up THROUGH the Crash of '29 (clearly brought on by Republican policies, you'll no doubt agree). Democrats took over and dragged us out of the Depression, making us the economic powerhouse of the world - and then Republicans gained control of both houses again in the early 50s, for a little while, and promptly stymied all economic growth until they were ousted again, and things continued to improve.

Then, Republicans gained control of the Senate in '81, and things promptly went to shit, with unemployment rocketing up to over 10% by 1983 (Thanks, "conservatives"!), and driving us deeper into recession.



When Republicans again gained control, they promptly worked to burst the dot-com bubble and throw the country AGAIN into a recession (Bushites like to blame Clinton for this, and claim it was really HIS recession that Bush inherited, but thanks for placing the blame firmly on the Republican Congress, and admitting that President Clinton had nothing to do with it).

One thing DOES seem clear when it comes to who's in charge, though: When a Democrat is in the White House, the national debt is shrinking, and when a Republican is in the White House, it's growing - A LOT!

And if BSCM isn't onto something....

Within the last 20 years, what are some things passed by Congress that didn't take a President's signature?

If GOP deficits are bad, then why do you tolerate Obama's ? They're far worse. Is it because he's dark skinned, that you're too afraid to criticize ?

Your logic does not follow. There must be some reason.

Nearly everything she ever posted in the past has turned out nearly 100% correct.

Just sayin'.



She is a socialist who wants to see the Federal Govt. control everything, every aspect of our lives. Is that what you want? You certainly 'aint no Browncoat if you do.

So, higher taxes don't lead to more investment and higher employment because I'm a liberal who likes to give away my money to the government. They lead to those good results for the exact opposite reason -- because I don't want to give away my money to the government.


Erm, wait. About what income level are we talking here?

I don't think tax cuts help the economy... I don't think higher taxes help the economy. I think economics is either people trying to explain and predict a bunch of random numbers, or people trying to find fancy obfuscating ways to describe how to game the system. I'm not sure which it is, honestly.

In any case, what this point says to me is that economic scarcity (creating a smaller pool of income money for the average person) prompts investment. Not even going to try to comment if that's true or not, I don't know if it is. But... At some income levels my thinking is tax induced economic scarcity would seem to make an impact on living expenses. That can't be good.

No denyin' she's a rabid anti-corporatist, but then hey, so am I.
I want the government to treat us with respect. Which it does not now.
It forces me to *buy* expensive crappy insurance for health & car, it spends trillions on pet wars & not much at all feeding the hungry children of this world.
I believe in answers for problems- some of them can surely be "tagged" as Socialist. Others would be "tagged" Conservative... whatever.

But I ain't no Purplebelly.
