I don't want to hear the left say one damn negative...

Well, Tman, ummmmmm..... the big difference is, if you turn on your TV right now and flip on any news station, you are actually going see this:

[youtube][/youtube]

Again, can't stress it enough - you will actually see this. It exists, unlike the toxic ether circulating in my brain. This shit above is real...and I'm full of sh!t!

Wow!!! I see what you mean, D1B...those protesters look like professionals and working-middle class Americans peacefully protesting and articulately expressing their complaints about Obama's self-destructive policies, not like these violent, censor-seeking, amoebic-I.Q'd, Dumby Donk protesters you so despise...

Protesting against Bush advocating the violent overthrow of the Bush Administration (with no arrests and no DHS reports accusing them of being potential domestic terrorists... )...BTW, the ZZTop looking banjo player appears :24 seconds into the vid...

I love good astroturf campaigns

[TwinTownBisonFan]

I love good astroturf campaigns

there is also what I call "field turf" campaigns... where the astroturf is so convincing that people believe it was actually grassroots...

it's sort of that idea in advertising of convincing the consumer that their decision was entirely their own highly-educated and good looking idea...

TTBF...you still up?

[Wedgebuster]

It was a very heart warming event, concerned patriots publicly showing their concern for their country, and love and compassion for their fellow man. A truly admirable showing by America's conservative minded citizens.


Doesn't that give you a warm fuzzy? Here is a closer look-



Easy to understand these fine citizens urgency to bring our corrupted government legitimacy.

Welcome to my gay hell, circa 2001-2008...


And why do you hate America so much?

I don't hate America, I hate the man you enlightened ones elected as big government, dole out more welfare to lazy f**k[*] who run companies into the ground to begin with a f**k[*] tax break, sack of shit mongrel named George Walker Bush. The asshole names known liars and cheats to his cabinet, his vice president laughed about spying on American citizens, holding Americans hostage in an illegal war, and named a known neo-con man in Donald Rumsfeld to lead the Pentagon. He's a twatswab and I am so glad he and his useless family are out of office. I was tired of hearing his butchering of the English language and his wife's push for NCLB.

USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIFY.

This isn't just about Obama, and it isn't just about GWB. It's about those in power, FROM BOTH PARTIES, that spend, spend and spend. Paying income taxes (while I am against them) are not keeping me from owning a house. I don't like paying taxes anymore than the next person, but the problem isn't me paying taxes, it's my money being misused and spent unwisely. I'd be more willing to pay what I pay now if I knew the money was going to be spent wisely, and we were getting a good "bang for our buck." At this time, we're not and Congress is just as much to blame as the president(s). Re-focus your efforts to the right charge, and you might see some real change.

[Ibanez]

Fuck that!!!!!! I hate this president and everything his worthless ass stands for!!!!

Dude, he hasn't bee in office long enough for any change to take effect and truly be measured. Don't forget your boy Dubya did the first Stimulus. You need to relax.

Now don't run him off Mark, we just now got him back up and true to form!!

[houndawg]

Oh, my look what the cat dragged in....Z!!!



Z, you sure you wanna begin your comeback on a thread like this? It's pretty heavy. Maybe start off with a titty thread in the lockerroom till ya get your feet back under you.

Sorry Dude, aint your board anymore. Tman, Cap'n and I are in charge. We'll pm you if we need you.

Later.

I'm good. I figured ya'll needed some adult supervision around here.

Now there's a case of the inmates running the asylum.

If they hate America so much why don't they move to a country where the free market rules?

Like Somalia.

[OL FU]

Today was a day that white religious conservatives took to the streets to protest this bullshit administration.

Fixed.

A photo from the Boone event. Yup, it's screaming diversity.

Well it is unusual to see white christian conservatives taking to the street for anything other than a prayer meeting

I can't stand that brand of ignorance. Was he bitching about TARP back when BUSH II was in office? Where was he during the repeal of Glass-Stengal under Clinton? Obama has inherited a lot more problems than he has caused. Some people need to remove the damn blinders.

I've found most of these posts pretty humous and appreciate the use of Somalia to poke fun at capitalism but I hope you really don't believe that Somalia has a free market. Somalia is ruled by warlords and is probably more of a feudal economy than a free-market economy.

I wasn't aware that I was "defending" anybody...
I was simply pointing out that the tree hugger video is presented as "fact" when it's actually a comedy skit... I'm just here to inform the uninformed T-man

I use it to poke at "libertarians" who go on and on about how left without "guv'ment intervention" everything would thrive and be hunky-dory.

I recognize that Somalia is a failed state. However I would point out that the warlords and feudal economy developed in the wake no effective central government.

I'm not sure if we have any 100% libertarians on here. Most recognize the need for some form of government but disagree over the services that the government should actually provide. The liberal idea that the government should help out those in need is not a bad one but neither is the more libertarian position that a person needs to be responsible for themselves and work to get out of whatever hole they are in; the decision to help should be voluntary and is best done through private charitable organizations.

Now feel free to continue to ridicule the people who look like real yahoos in the crowds. People who drink either color of kool-aid (red or blue) and follow blindly without thinking should be ridiculed.

fyi, my post wasn't directed only at you. I meant to say "...I hope people really don't believe that Somalia has a free market."

i would agree... to an extent while I would be labeled a socialist around these parts... fact is, I'm an LBJ/FDR liberal (which isn't socialism... not even close). the trouble for me in these discussions about "drinking the kool-aid" is the fact that quite frankly I don't drink it... but I throughout my career have mixed quite a lot of it
