Lucky...

And that is so unlike Rush.

Actually they call it the Great Recession. Kool how history repeats itself, huh? Who got us into this mess last time?

So I take it that you hate the 40 hour work week, paid overtime, civil rights, the ability to join a union, paid holidays, and all that other offensive liberal crap that has taken over? If you slam "Liberals", you are slamming that which has been of great benefit to you and yours. If you listen to the drug addled gasbag, you hate liberals, because you are REALLY stupid and easily led. That would be the same as being Republican. Thanks for hating the best the USA has to offer. Allow me to point out the obvious - NOT A SINGLE POSTIVE CHANGE has ever come about due to conservative philosopy. Lots of postive change has been blocked or delayed by the moron bastard shitheads who call themselves "conservative". NO POSTITIVE CHANGE HAS EVER HAPPENED DUE TO CONSERVATIVE PHILOSOPHY. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Crawl back under your rocks and stay the fuck out of the way. They love all those things, they attribute them to the right somehow.

you do realize that when a person is 100% partisan and everything in their perspective is 100% political - then they can't comprehend that there are individuals in the world that take things one at a time and base it on individual actions and achievements that have zero to do with party positions, power jockeying, and politics. as such - no point in arguing with them - no point in making fun of politics either. The first is pointless, the second messes up their hair but has no other effect. And you are as wrong as the guy you replied to. I was replying to captain 1976 who did bring in how the presidential election of Obama was stupid, so my response was correct, Thanatos340 misunderstood what I was replying to and you jumped on the bandwagon.

And with recent Repubs, they are concerned for their cronies with taxes. Tell me how Obama is being self-serving by wantint to raise taxes on teh rich (himself) and by getting HC to all, considering he has never wanted for HC.

I don't, I was responding to captain1976's remark about Obama being elected president. How the hell can Obama be even slightly qualified to get that prize. Because he is black and won the presidency? He only won because anyone with an IQ smaller than an ashtray would never have voted for someone with his qualifications. And there are a lot of dummies in this Country. Anyone with a brain is his head would have researched his background and found he had no more qualifications to become president than Bullwinkle. Not saying his opponent would have been great, but at least he had some qualifications. Nobel prize issue: Agree Carter worst president: Hoover, GWB, racist pigs like Pierce and Buchannon? Come on, Carter wasn't presidential, but he wasn't the worst by a mile. I would say he hasn't done enough, but not nothing, and he acknowledges that. I think this is the world's way of saying, 'thx for the effort, keep it up.' I'm sure you'll get over your rage in time. I'm sure you also follow the Nobel like you and I both follow football, the world series, etc.

Most are indifferent. Nope, liberal Americans think more like Europeans, Canadians, etc, so Liberal Americans and the world think more alike. How did I? BTW, more consecutive adjectives. http://instantrimshot.com/ Brilliant that you noticed. Was it the, "I think" or the "easily" that gave it away that this was my guess?

Could you be a little more broad? How have teh Dems failed the country?

Honestly, did you really have a lot before this? Other than Carter, could you name another recipient w/o doing a google? What % of all other winners are black? I don't see this as a prerequisite. That element is void. He won largely for the same reason Carter won; the US was tired of corrupt Republican policies. Quit blaming others for the shortcomings of the Repub Party. The debt from 900B in 1981 is virtually all due to Repub policies and presidents.

Yes, instead we have a condition called debt that wasn't an issue until Regan showed other neo-con politicians how to blow it out and justify it.

Oh yeah? Well who died and put them in charge? huh? Why, it was Alfred Nobel himself. His last will and testament left the bulk of his estate to set up the Nobel prizes. Right, from the party who demands zero inheritance tax or other control of such funds, we give you the American Republican who feels the Nobel prize s/b controlled. versus those that advocate completely taking away all inheritance as "property of the gov'ment" and thus the Nobel prize would not exist and, thus, Obama would not have won anything - how racist How is there a racial component? Never has race been an issue in our conversation, just inheritance / tax. Just as you have no rights after you die, your money is subject to the gubbment too.

To address your ad hominem, since it must be about me, my profile is for fun, nothing in there is actual, other than I am a nappy-headed ho.

Certain RW politicians are understanding this slander rhetoric only emboldens Dems, and these R politicians are smart enough to end the rhetoric.

you for parroting me. I don't think Americans get how sick the rest of the world is of us. You have the US at 4% of the world, 2% are conservatives, so that measn 98% of the world disagrees with conservative US Americans with the exception of a few Britts and others. I think it's easily 90% of the world disagrees with that the US has been doing and wants a change. Obama is that change and they are encouraging the US by promoting Obama via Nobel. Questioning it and calling it stupid makes as much sense as wondering why the R's chose Palin.

Oh, best post in the thread so far!! Obama's kinda like Hitler. Fucking classic. Yea, I nominate that post for next years Nobel.

I think the world is sick of teh US and this is their way of saying Obama is trying to create peace in the ME, so keep it up. It's kind of an award for what they want to come. As well, the rest of the world is shocked by one of the wealthiest countries in teh world denying coverage to millions of their own, yet lower taxes to teh rich at the cost of a horrible debt, the fact that Obama is trying to get HC to all Americans probably plays a quiet part, altho I think the Nobel is more forr international matters, not sure tho.

No, Clint Eastwood wants everyone off of his lawn, he can't be Nobel material.

Ya, he's had like 9 months, what's taking him so long?

Don't they realize conservative Americans are the only ones who 'get it' the rest are just wrong. Like 2% of the world correct, 98% wrong.

Cool. If I "disenjoy" (Bush word) it more than I "disenjoy" other forums then I'll leave. Peace.

And I think we are all having pointless arguments together; what's the rub? The thing is that in most forums it ends up this way: side A / side B, so it's all the same.

And there shows more naiveté; kidnapping usually requires you move a person so many feet. What you're trying to say is that you could be charged with illegal or wrongful detention. I wouldn't worry about that, but using your example I wouldn't shoot him in the back as he's fleeing. The difference is that the alleged flag burner was at home, so your example is jokingly invalid. You see there...another example of why I should have watched more crime shows on TV. I think there are several people here...myself included...waiting for you to post where the vets actually made a threat against the kid. Or are you just assuming that from what they said? The media release stated the kid weas given 3 choices, 1 was to fight a seasoned vet, as I recall it stating. When you track someone down you don't tell them, "My good man, we will challenge you to a duel; you must fight a well-seasoned vet. The charge will be at 20 paces." We just don't talk that way, I think it was more like, 'You have 2 choices, asshole, get your ass kicked or let us tape you to that same flagpole you burned our flag from.' But either way, the media represented that the VFWers gave an ultimatum that included violence. See, we are all really on the same page as to what occurred, you just think it was ok and I don't, so to make an issue of differring renditions is meaningless as we all agree that pretty much the same thing happened.

And of course, true, but I was commenting on not tracking people downa nd yanking them out of their houses because guns could come into play. Actually I'm really not. I would rather discuss elements of issues using defintions and data rather than the typical side A / side B politicing. These emotional issues rarely get anywhere, I just try not to attack anyone and keep it on track as much as I can. I can't see the beauty in a flag and others can't see how a flag is anything but beautiful. To me this was a case of vandalism and the violator, whoever it was, should have been tried, convicted and made to pay restitution in addition to any jail time. Oh and VN vets, I actually think more of them than I do WWII vets strictly due to teh fact that VN vets knew what they were forced into doing was a mess, as opposed to WWII soldiers knew they doing something important and they would be loved when it was done. But these people are certainly the best Americans as well as any other war vet or even non-war vets like me. I think military service s/b compulsory, we all have a duty to out country, not some silly piece of cloth that was probably sewn in Mexico.

Ok I get it, you guy got stuck with the def of coercion, so you have to make a joke out of it. If I was faced with that I would hold him at gunpoint and if he wanted to leave he would. You cannot use deadly force unless there is imminent danger to persons.
