YES "Idiocracy" !!! I love that movie! Its not great but I love it just the same.
Thanks for the advice! I will try to put it in those terms and see what happens.
I absolutely refuse to do that. I will not surrender my principles for P.C sake. I will continue to argue respectfully in the context of the class. Hopefully I can make some of the students at least THINK a bit. I've been recommending they read "New Deal or Raw Deal" by Burton Folsom Jr. If you dont already know its about FDR and his economic policies. These economics stratagies did not work back then and they will not work now. Its facinating how much FDR and Obama have in common from economic stratagies to FDR's self proclaimed "war on business".
ROFL!!! We have to submit the request in triplicate to the Obama Czar Creation Counsel Party (Obama CCCP)
its funny you mention getting rid of parties. I remember as a teen I had asked my dad why we had parties, why not run on prinicples, qualifications, and your platform (what you wanted to accomplish). My dad called me a commie pig lol (lovingly of course). He told me we have had a two party system since the begining and that is just the way it is.
OK I just have to get this off my chest. I am currently in an Economics class and we're talking about healthcare and its costs, should it be universal, and how that would affect the economy. These people are driving me insane (instructor included)! Students are saying silly things like "oh we need free healthcare it would be great for everyone!" Umm hello did you take econ 101 to get into this class??? There IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE HEALTHCARE! We all have to pay for it! Obama is not a God nor the Messiah and will not walk the Earth curing blindness or cancer! I tried to explain that Gov. controlled healthcare will only cause prises to rise (hospitals/insurance companies can charge the Gov. more) and when the Gov. gets tired of paying through the nose they will ration care, just look at any nation with socialized medicine! But NOoooo Im just a crazy conservative quack that hates people and wants everyone to die or stay poor! BAHHHHHHh
elcolorao31,
In those 8 years, there were mistakes. Bush was not perfect and I did not agree with all his policies. I never told a liberal to shut up or anything derogatory in anyway, it is everyones right to speak their mind. However, I dont recall the Bush administration taking over private businesses, firing the CEO, putting in people HE wants and then demanding these companies be sold to a foreign business. I never saw the Bush administration spend trillions of dollars like there was no tomorrow in a mear months time tripiling the national debt. I never saw the Bush administration openly talk about getting rid of the dollar in favor of a global currency. I never saw the Bush administration give foreign dignitaries DVDs as gifts, laughing at serious interviews about the economy, and NEVER sending detained terrorists in US cities with welfare checks in hand!!
We did give the Obama administration a chance and in 2 months time has shown the world that he is fully on board to change the US form of government from a Republic to an Oligarchy and kill Capitalism in favor of Socialism.
jrcMT, sorry but I disagree. What I think is going on here with Glenn is pretty simple. He believes all of this is beyond just obama. So he does not want to be associated with a rally where signs of that nature are involved simply because it goes against what he has said about this being beyond Dems, Repubs, Liberals, and the far Right. This is about Americans that disagree with the politicians that are attempting to take control of the government, do what they want to fit thier agenda and thus cut us out of the loop.
Glenn has never said that these rallies that have these signs must be stopped or else. He has never tried to censor the rallies or the signs. He just said if these types of signs are there, he wont be there. Its the same thing as if you dont like what your watching then dont watch. He never said stop or dont carry the signs.
gTex, I tell ya afer watching that vid and seeing the news and all thats occuring it really is spooky. Like it was siad that in the upcoming G20 summit they want to discuss "global coordination of economies". Then on top of that the administration takes over GM, fires the CEO (before Congress even decided whether to VOTE of Giethner's request for power to even take over private corp's mind you..thats what really pisses me off) and then wants to SELL GM to FIAT! Since FIAT is an Italian company does this then mean that GM jobs are going to Italy??? I bet it does.
just ignore this clown. He is an extreme liberal and there will never be any swaying of kcdad's ideology. He hates the military because he is a bitter old man. he blames the military for his disability which is sad and dissappointing and I pray for him, but there will be no convincing him of our principals and ideals. Just as much as he will never convince us that his ideology is the truth or whatever.
Just ignore this bitter old man. He just wants attention. Just pray that the good lord has mercy on his bitter soul.
