Wacka Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Again the Code Pink idiots are acting like little 3 year olds. Things haven't gone their way and they've got to stand up in front of everyone , stamp their feet and say "look at me, look at me". The ones that got "escorted out" yesterday were their leaders Suzie "Medea" Benjamin and Jodie Evans, one of Obama's biggest bundlers. Today, they tried it again. Yesterday, one got close to the podium. They should have let her go as Palin probably was packing and would have blown her away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a difference... The Repubs are for big oil and the Dems...crap. The Dems are for the little people while the Repubs are for...crap. Ok, I got it. The difference is, they only hate the gay/other gender people on the other side whose views are different. Hmmm, that seems similar too. Ok how about this, who scares you more with the laws Republicans enacted? Dems or Repubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Frenkle Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 How does one run an economy? Well, one might start by regulating the mortgage industry. But that's just my pinko commie anti-free-market ideology talking. I was going to say 'manage the economy', but it didn't flow as nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ok how about this, who scares you more with the laws Republicans enacted? Dems or Repubs? How about all the laws the Dems enacted to force me to hire under minority banners, force doctors to give abortions who don't in conscience want to do so and force med students to learn the procedure, or force "tolerance" in the form of intolerance to Christian view-points in public. Yeah, the Dems are for freedoms. Even though that's true, I cannot believe what the Patriot Act is and will become. It's enough to scare me out of the country if it gets any worse, and I cannot believe the Dems supported it and voted to increase its powers when they have majority rights of vote.

Gene Frenkle Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 How does regulating the mortgage industry manage the economy? Not that I'm against it mind you. Well, my understanding of the current situation is that the regulation of variable rate 'subprime' mortgages during the inflated housing boom of the past few years would have (by definition) prevented less than qualified borrowers from buying well above their means in the first place. This would have kept housing prices at a more realistic level and would have likely prevented a large number of the 7,000+ foreclosures we currently see in this country on a daily basis. I'll make the disclaimer here that I am no economist or market expert. If I'm missing anything, please enlighten me. I would assume that the effects of such preemptive action on our economy should be obvious. Less people in financial trouble, non-inflated housing prices and therefore more people with discretionary income. This was really just a throwaway comment. I'm not looking for a drawn out debate on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Dems are for freedoms. A doctor should never be forced to perform a procedure unless maybe a life was in danger. If he failed to act when he could, and there was no other help available, I could see fines maybe. Loss of a license in the worst case. If he isn't working in an abortion clinic, he shouldn't have to worry about it. He shouldn't be forced to learn the procedure as part of his curriculum unless that is something a general practitioner or emergency room Doctor needs. I have no idea. Intolerance abounds. The far left is intolerant of the far right as is the far right of the far left. Many religious people try to impose their morals, while atheists denigrate religions. People should be allowed to practice their religion, but Wal-mart people shouldn't have to say Merry Christmas. Even though that's true, I cannot believe what the Patriot Act is and will become. It's enough to scare me out of the country if it gets any worse, and I cannot believe the Dems supported it and voted to increase its powers when they have majority rights of vote. Chicken, egg? Does it matter, except to historians and people who are forced to face the consequences. I don't see any of the current lot as solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think it's a commentary on a larger issue: it seems the far-left can't defend its ideas and they know it, once again. Even the least educated American knows that socialism = failure, because they know who won the cold war, and they know that we have a long term undefeated record of beating socialist economies. So the only choice the far-left has is to try and stop others from saying anything. It's simple really, they can't convince anyone to vote for their nonsense, and haven't been able to for 30 years. So, they use rude, sometimes fascist, tactics to try to shut everyone else up. The fact is that we haven't had a true far-left guys as President since Jimmy Carter and LBJ, and we all know how well they worked out. Bush II's failures don't remove the fact that far-left policies have been tried the world over, failed miserably, and any that are still in place(Medicaid, Medicare, SSI) are on the brink of massive collapse unless they are fully reformed, or replaced by safety nets that are actuarially viable. I.E., it's not that Medicare/Medicaid wasn't an idealistic, noble goal. It's that LBJ didn't bother to hire insurance actuaries, like real insurance companies do, before he set up his government insurance "companies" and "policies". So yes, these and SSI, are going to fail, for the simple reason that: they didn't do the math and/or get people who are familiar with the material, before they set them up. It was all just political hubris/expediency anyway. Nobody really cares what the far-left says, because its not like either party is going to do what they say ever again anyway. Even if Obama wins, the far-left is dreaming(and I am laughing at them already) if they think he will do anything about any of their core issues if it means he might not get re-elected. Obama would be a fool to repeat Clinton's mistakes in 1992-3 and piss off moderates in his first 2 years, because he'll lose Congress. And, he doesn't have a Dick Morris to help him act like a Republican, which means he loses the White House as well. He's smart to be sure, but not as smart as Clinton, and I'd bet his ego would not be outdone by his ambition to stay in power like Clinton either. The point is: we need to listen politely to the far-left, because unlike them, we aren't rude or immature, and we certainly don't want to lower ourselves to their level. Perhaps by setting the example they will learn how to behave properly. Perhaps they will learn the tenets of logical discussion, and use it instead of their endless circular emoting. They might even learn how to convince people, instead of having to try and mute them, or run up on a stage and attack them. How funny is it that they think it's necessary to get our attention by hanging out in the rafters with a gay little sign? Pathetic, 8th grade boy behavior. I bet that guy thinks he's a "hero". He's probably hanging out with the other 30 tools at Barnes and Noble congratulating themselves on "bringing back '68"(as if) and on demonstrating their intellectual "superiority" based on what amounts to a fraternity prank. What a bunch of tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You live in happy socialist-land and every American is right of Attila the Hun. No one here is really interested in having a country where truckers shut down the nation or immigrants burn our cities if they don't get enough handouts.
