"You just ooze with hate and even worse consider it a noble cause.
What a sad, sad man you are.
I guess when you aren't any good at your chosen profession you need to strike out somewhere.
What is going to happen to Dr. F when he finally admits to himself that Obama never got rid of torture. Never got rid of wire taps.
Another catastrophe in the making. I pray for you Dr. F. "
Ah yes Mr. morality is at it again.
And once again I say go f*#k yourself Skipt.
Out in the real world you are as big of a piece of sh#t as all the muslims you despise.

Skipt....a little reality check for you....Republicans in the last last two election cycles lost more seats in the house and senate than any party in modern history. There is a reason for that..which makes me wonder how far out of touch you really are.

Fat...the republicans are fighting a uphill battle and in my eyes will continue to lose...their game is old and worn out...they are losing on sheer demographics and they just don't understand the direction that America is moving in. They sold their soul to the far right and now it's payback time.
I'll be in SF with the wife to visited our boys this weekend till late Tuesday...lets go bouldering.

fellas,
these dupes pull you into their small, small world.
try to resist.
these 'men', ie skippy, worm, just passing thru, know that their money is their substance.
hence their every thought revolves around it. their every motion pivots on the notion. they fear, utterly fear losing it.
they realize, with trepedation, that without their artificial substance, they will blow away in the wind, temporarily interrupting the eternal.
captilism has made quick work of them. they've subscibed religiously to the concept, losing sight of the rest of reality.
sad loss. those folks. but let them go. don't try to argue them back into real 'livlihood.'
onward will i, and we go, without them, into a reality where money plays a role, yes. but only a cameo part of our bigger production.

when i'm wrong about something/someone, i'm man enough to admit it:
al gore is NOT a complete idiot
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-04-16/the-right-embraces-al-gore/full/
here are the highlights:
"Although Gore’s involvement in iPS cells is new and groundbreaking, this is old news for many. Discovery of iPS cells and their promise goes back two years, but Americans understandably have been distracted by emotional politicians wishing, oh geez, that Superman had been able to walk again! It was much easier to blame George W. Bush and all those anti-science, pro-life wackos than it was to read those boring stories about pluperfect potentates inducted into the hall of fame or something. Whatever.
In fact, so stunning was the discovery that Time magazine named iPS innovation one of the “10 Best Scientific Discoveries of 2007” and the journal Science rated it the No. 1 breakthrough of 2008.
So encouraged was Dr. Ian Wilmut, who cloned Dolly the sheep, that he abandoned his license to attempt human cloning, saying that the researchers “...may have achieved what no politician could: an end to the embryonic stem-cell debate.” Last month, Dr. Bernadine Healy, director of the National Institutes of Health under the first President Bush, wrote in U.S. News & World Report that these recent developments “reinforced the notion that embryonic stem cells... are obsolete.”
and...
"But the “no matter what” is problematic and worthy of our discomfort. Embryonic stem-cell research necessarily destroys a human embryo, which is what we all were once upon a time. You can slice and dice that concept however it suits, but the truth remains: You were once “it.” That thing. That cluster of cells. Regardless of how one gets through the night, it is inarguably better to avoid destroying life whenever one can."
the truth in this case may only be financially convenient for big al, but at least i now know he can recognize real science

There are American principles that are now only adhered to in some regard by the Republicans and Libertarians. These principles go back to the founding of the nation and have worked every time they've been tried..
It is certain that despotisim ruins individuals by preventing them from producing wealth much more than depriving them of what they have already produced; it dries up the source of riches, while it usually respects acquired property. Freedom, on the on the contrary, produces far more goods than it destroys; and the nations which are favored by free institutions invariably find that their resources increase even more rapidly than their taxes
Alexis De Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1856
Sorta sounds like "Reganomics" doesn't it.

"As it stands, the top 1 percent of filers pay 40 percent of all income taxes; the top 5 percent pay 60 percent; and the top 10 percent pay fully 70 percent of all income taxes. The bottom 50 percent (5-0, Dano!) pay a whopping 3 percent of all income tax."
What's unfair? The top 5 percent have at least 60 percent of all wealth and to get that wealth use the nations infrastructure. Who else can pay but those with money? Duh
Peace

his action off the African horns coast and his treatment of the CIA have been exemplary.
I love how people bring the analogy between the CIA members who waterboarded 3 (3!) detainees and the nuremburg trials. Are you kidding me? 6 million died, probably more. Hermann Göring was convicted for crimes against humanity. This is not the same thing, at all. Another attempt to blow something rediculous out of proportion.
Your messiah has absolved them of their 'crimes.' Our nation has not seen a terrorist attack, and 3 guys got water poured on their face to simulate drowning. It sucks, it shouldn't have happened, but it was a success.

You should sit on that gyrating umbrella and let it spin till the centripetal force waters your egg gardens, or some other hippy nonsense you would understand.
I'll flip my coin on your lawn then litter it with feces! NOM NOM NOM.

"And they smile in their suits with their fat bank accounts. They deserve to pay. "
suits has a negative connotation, but getting money from other people is not. This is the basis of the understanding of the democratic voter.
