Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[Munson]

Funny thing is all those things Dio are saying (smaller house, cheaper car, not as good a life for your kids) are what some Republicans are suggesting people do to save for retirement so they can eliminate Social Security.

I don't think you'll find a lot of people willing to lower their living standards just so they can save for their retirement. No parent's going to say "No you can't have more than I had when I was a kid, because I wanna make sure I'm ready to fully fund my life when I'm 68."

[Diomedes]

I think saving for retirement is a big lie anyway.  Most of us don't make enough money to save and live.  If you put your money in a bank, it loses value.  If you invest it, the bankers steal it, or gamble it away and you're left with nothing for your trouble.  Take a job that promises a pension and by the time you're eligible to draw on it, it's insufficient to cover your medicine and rent, and the benefits are cut every few years by politicians who would cast you as elitist free loaders.

farg all that.  Don't save for shtein.  Live your life.  When the time comes, you'll either be taken care of by the people around you or you won't...whether you saved or not has very little to do with that.

The 6 laziest states in the union....I wonder where they are

Also the least educated, most impoverished and most likely to vote against their own best interests for the party of the rich. Strange farging world we live in.

I was even more confused because the yahoo home page made it seem like it was only the top 5. Seeing #6 just turned my world upside down

Oh, by all means... let's get these iceholes running the country:

Possible Republican 2012 hopefuls criticize public schools

By Kay Henderson – Wed Mar 23, 5:35 pm ET

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – Three potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates expressed hostility toward the public school system at a home schooling rally on Wednesday in the early presidential caucus state of Iowa.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul told the crowd government wants "absolute control" of the "indoctrination" of children. Paul spoke along with Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Georgia businessman Herman Cain.

"The public school system now is a propaganda machine," Paul said, prompting applause from the crowd of hundreds of home schooling families. "They start with our kids even in kindergarten, teaching them about family values, sexual education, gun rights, environmentalism - and they condition them to believe in so much which is totally un-American."         farging imbecile.

Bachmann said home schooling is the "essence" of freedom and liberty. "It's about knowing our children better than the state knows our children," she said.

Bachmann, who home-schooled her five biological children, lamented that she and her husband had been unable to teach the 23 foster children who have lived in their home because Minnesota authorities said foster children could not be home-schooled.

"It is not up to a bureaucrat to decide what is best for your children," Bachmann said, drawing cheers from the crowd. "I am so tired of the establishment telling us that they know best. We know best."

Cain, former chief executive of Godfather's Pizza and another prospective Republican candidate, denounced government involvement in education at all levels.

"That's all we want is for government to get out of the way so we can educate ourselves and our children the old-fashioned way," Cain said.

Justin LaVan of the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators said it was encouraging to see potential presidential candidates talking about the home-schooling movement.

"More importantly, talking about our Creator - our rights that came from our Creator, acknowledging that and giving him the glory, folks," said LaVan, who served as master of ceremonies at the rally.

This is honestly what these freaks believe.  It's astounding that they get anyone NOT to laugh at them much less vote for them.

Christ...

A retired Army general is taking to the radio to call out leaders of the Republican party for making it more likely we'll be blown up by a terrorist's nuclear bomb.

Lt. Gen. Robert Gard is the star of a series of radio ads targeting Republican leaders in the House and Senate for supporting "deep cuts to the U.S. Government's signature nuclear security program to remove highly enriched uranium and other dangerous nuclear materials from countries in the former Soviet Union and other unstable regions around the world."

....

The message from the spots could not be more direct.

"What I am about to tell you sounds crazy, but it's true," Gard says in the minute-long ads. "Your Congressman... is making it easier for terrorists to get nuclear weapons."

TPM asked Gard if that kind of rhetoric was more fearmongering than legitimate argument.

"This is real, declared threat," Gard said, referring to a 1998 promise by Osama Bin Laden that Al Qaeda would pursue WMDs. "This isn't something we're making up. We need to give it high priority to prevent a nuclear explosion in an American city with disastrous consequences."

[ice grillin you]

guaranteed dio at one time worshipped ron paul....for a long time he was the shining star of independant libertarians...and they loved to talk about how they wish there were more people like him....i always tried to tell anyone i could that the guy was wolf in sheeps clothing texan....guy is nut job just like the rest of them

[Diomedes]

Wrong again.  I never liked Paul.  See, I like government, and he does not.  It's a simple disagreement, and one that prevents me from liking him at all.

[ice grillin you]

maybe im confusing you with russell

[Diomedes]

It's possible.  We are quite similar.
