Really? KKK fools get shut down all the time with their anti-black message. Where do you their ideals derrived? Also, where did the word, "N*****" come from? Wasn't it used a lot and/or derrived as we know it from the slavery days? Why can't we use it in open speech w/o citing a riot? Why is it not allowed and an arrest be made for disorderly conduct if a fool started using it openly on teh streets or at work, etc? I now see why you don't like analogies.

I do. Thus, the title of the thread, and the opening remark above the link. Being an American in awe of the horrific nature of the Holocaust is quite diff from being a German, Astrian, etc and watching the same thing ebing talked about. Here we use it as a metaphor to describe Republicans, there they produced it.

There was another case like this where a douchebag proclaimed that. A lady wrote a book callinmg him an idiot, he sued and lost. The gov gave ample warning multi times to STFU and didn't. He got 2 years. We see it as deprivation of FS, Germans take it much more harshly considering they were the purveyors of that shit. I don't disagree with the law. Also, I have some Nazi era coins with the Swastika - evil looking - they are also lillegal over there and much of W.E.

I guess that stands until you produce an example that a major fed tax cut fixed things. If you can dig one out, then try to dig out several. I can produce the opposite in wholesale numbers. YOU AGAIN FAIL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I would love to move, altho I'm happy with how things are going now. YOU AGAIN FAIL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. Sure, wanna pay for it?

GDP going from a a 'shrinkage' from -6.4% to +5.6% is growth, don't know how that isn't. The recovery IS the change from shrinkage to + growth; how is that difficult for you to grasp? The market has constantly grown from a low of 6500 to > 11000; how is that not growth? It's sad that since you cannot make an argument that you must PA. Oh, fundamentals like supply and demand or fundamental indexes like the DJIA, NASDAQ, S&P, Unemp via the BLS, GDP per the BEA / Dept of Commerce. I think I am. Agreed, the DJIA is just a part of the macro-picture. When has the economy done well as the DJIA has substantially shrunk? Never than I can think of. The DJIA has done well as the economy has sucked, but in order for the economy to do well, the market must lead. So just because the market is doing well doesn't automatically mean the economy will do well, but in fascist capitalism we must restore the very rich before the rest can do well. Yes, I know, we need to cut taxes. Of course it hasb't been repaired, your hero sat back with rose-colored glasses thinking all was well, mine has taken measures to repair this with + results. But as fickle as the politics are, the best we can get is a little relief in a Democracy with presidents turning over as such often intervals. Take your party with that fascist pig fucking things up badly, thne his successor trying in small form to fix things; basically 12 years of hell, then 8 years of relief with Clinton, then 8 years of more hell with your hero. So to look for permanent change is optimistic, esp with on eside really bad at math and history chanting, "It's not fair." Hell, even Andrew Jackson dropped the debt to 0 or to 75M, I've read both and believe the latter. Either way, he fixed and some othe ryahoos fucked it all up. So to look for a permanent fix is to not understand politics. Obama has given us relief. No but it has to stay in the toilet that your hero stacked with shit in order to prove you and yours right. You and yours are being proven wrong everyday, from teh party who gave us, 'you guys are just whiners about this economy.' So were you pissed with Eisenhower too? Taxes were left in the 90%'s during his time; was he a redistributionist? Taxes are now in the 35% top brkt, Obama wants to bring them to 40% and you act like that's high. Talk about whiners where is McCains's foul-mouthed aid now? To compare Obama's policies to Carl Marx other than as a metaphor is a joke. As for industries, the auto industry was about to fail, our #5 product, that would kill our limited manuf base if we let it fall. And your hero appropriated and dolled out about 1/2 the bank bailout money, some 300Bish has been recovered under Obama, so you point falls flat again. Glad you can speak for them, it isn;t as many as you think. Furthermore, the ones that are pissed are pissed at the banks for being irresponsible. Not to mention the hypocrites that are part of the foreclosure mess that bitch at TARP. They would also bitch if Obama watched us roll into the GD II as your hero was doing.

As for education, under Clinton it was very affordable, it only skyrocketed after GWB, I assume due to funding cuts. As for housing increases, that was a private matter; I don't see how gov intrusion did that.

What tax did he cut??????????? I dont know what liberal fantasy land your in. Add up property, state, federal, SS, MC, fuel tax, city or country tax, sales and every other thing they throw in there and how can you say we pay some of the lowest in 50 years? Yes, easy enough to pick out one piece of the equation and make misleading points. In the big picture, my estimate is that I pay about 40 to 45% of my gross income in taxes. Strictly personal opinion, and just coming from a gut level, but I think there ought to be a cap of something like 1/3rd on individuals. No person should have to fork over more than a third of their earnings. Taxes are historically very low thx to Fascist Ronnie and the ignorant American picture that they should be low. When taxes are low, bad things happen.

He didn't and I hope he doesn't. Really? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States Taxes have only been lower as we entered the Great Depression and at the end of the Reagan/Bush disaster since WWI.
-
Don't forget this bit of upbeat news: http://www.cagw.org/newsroom/releases/2010/earmark-spending-165.html our elected officials serving the people, as usual. Doesn't have anything to do with the recovery; that is the thread title btw. 16B in this age is, unfortunately nothing. 700B bank bailout, 787B stimulus, years of 600B/yr military operating budget, Iraq/AFG war cost >1T..... 16 B just doesn't show up on the radar.
-
Obama, with his policies can only fix one mess at a time, but with your fascist American protocol, we have to restore the billionaires, then the millionaires first.
-
I didn't say everything is peachy, I was merely illustrating that numbers are spinning to the + side and that is bad news for conservatives who want Obama and the US to fail.
-
Agreed, however we can do HC simultaneously. It doesn't show us how we specifically got into the mess, it shows us who got us into the mess. Tax cuts and massive spending is how we got into the mess. The title reads: Federal Income Taxes on Middle-Income Families at Historically Low Levels Actually taxes are lower for everyone, mostly the very rich. And BTW, how is that good news? When taxes are low, bad things happen. He did, I must have missed any modification to the tax tables by Obama. He hasn't done a thing with the taxation yet, he plans on letting GWB's 10-year reconcilliation tax cuts die with the exception of MC and lower people. I hope he and congress raise taxes after that, but I don't see it.

We have always had a debt since before we were a nation. Having a debt isn't a big deal, having it blown out is; >8T of the 10.6 inherited by Obama was under Reagan, Bush, Bush - that was teh problem. Then Obama inherited a mess that required bank bailouts signed under GWB and a stimulus to avoid the 2nd GD. The biggest problem now and since 08 is the fact that gov receipts are ultra-low, that is the bulk of the reason we have seen such large debt increases rather than spending. Yep and who blew it up? Reagan, Bush, Bush. OK, and what's your answer? Tax cuts, my friends? If so, show me where it's worked that lower taxes has led to a decrease in the debt or at least a balancing of it. Oh, you can't? The answer, after the recession is stabilized, is for hefty tax increases, top brkt 40-50% minimum. Is the answer to cut spending? OK, where? Military? You wouldn't like that, but that is the answer. We spend enough socially, we just spend it incorrectly. Doctors earn so much that the result is that 30M people get left out and those with ins get marginal care for their buck. We need more competition via gov intervention to bring those hefty wages down as with most other industries.

Who said anything about a violent takeover? You need to read the agenda of the Tea Party and not bits and pieces thrown around by the left. Where were the tea baggers when GWB was busy running up the debt 5T and running the country into the ground? Gee, if I didn't know better I would think the tea baggers are nothing but a radical fringe group.

I saw it on the local news b4 here. You assume he said "fu" to teh cops - pure guess from you. His body language was 0% offensive, dangerous or anything but relenting. Officer(s) McPig needed to walk up and point to go that way, if the kid refused then they would have to cuff him, if the kid resisted then the cops needed to increase force a bit. None of these negaitive physical behaviors were present from the kid, we can only guess as what if anything he said. The jury will see many vids, none have an audio of him saying a thing. Of course there will be a huge settlement and some piggy firings and no civil trial, perhaps a criminal one.
-
I believ that's an, "oops up side ur head" to all who think the lovely piggeros did nothing wrong here. Amazing the people that will run to the cops b4 even hearing any details. I didn't draw an opinion until I saw the vid. I do like the police chief's reaction, refreshing it wasn't some, 'we will wait until all evidece is in' rhetoric. The vid kinda clears it all up. If they have some exculpatory ev, let's see it, other than that it stands and the young kid can drop out of college and live off his settlement. Makes me wish I was a lawyer to bury these assholes, whether civil attny or prosecutor.

>>>>> I can't see it at work but I'll bet they didn't just pick him out randomly and kick his ass No predisposed bias there no. Even if he had done something prior, for which there is no evidence of, the cops still have to approach him and allow him to cooperate, as it is obvious he is. The article even states he was skipping down the ramp, bothering no one. But of course we will exonerate all pigs and gibe em a ticket for a dozen donuts and a cup fo coffee for their trouble. Funny how the conservatives are the ones who defend the cops even with a mountain of evidence, altho they calim they are about freedom from gov oppression? Go figure.

Dow went to 11k and held the day after. Slow, constant gorwth, the mark of a healing economy. Sorry R's, hard to claim the sky is falling now. All you can hope for now is a disaster that hurts America somehow.

I don'tthink anyone really views the Repugs as fiscally responsible...... maybe after Eisenhower they had that rep, but Nixon started the spending and it just went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down from there. Hell, GHWB tried to regain that a little and was voted out. -
It was written in 1917, by William Tyler Page and was accepted by the House of Representatives in April 1918. I don't know when this was stopped in the schools, but it is indeed a profound, and quite accurate summary. I attached a pic of me and Ed. The guy is sharp as a whip and we had a great lunch. Well written. Too bad the moralist freaks got involved and threw GOD in many works like this; really trashes it and undermines the 1st gov establishment of religion.
-
They'll have to get the page working a little better to be a threat A threat to what; tea baggers? Tea baggers aren't a threat so it's irrelevant. You just keep thinkin that way lucky my boy, just keep thinkin that way Bush was not threat either He was stuuuuuuuupid remember? Who said GWB was never a threat? And to take the son of GHWB not a political threat and compare him to a bunch of whacked tea baggers is delluded; I would never assert that.
-
I've asked before, let's use history, show me a major fedral tax cut that has led to increased revenues and a better overall fisccal picture. Show me major fed tax cuts that led to disaster. Perhaps an example of a good tax cut would be in teh early 1960's when JFK/LBJ cut the top brkt from 91% to 70 something. 91% in peacetime is too high, even tho we were in VN, I agree with brinbging them out of the 90's/80's, but that was a leftover WWII tax brkt that had to come down. Show me where major cuts work. Let's use history over theory.

Do you realize how you *TRY* to come across as my mommy you sound? Go ahead and look it up then, it was a matter of Mike not getting how lame USSR's military was for not even having 1 acft carrier per my research......and they're supposed to reach out and touch us? As I recall, they had more tanks,but no way to get them here, esp under the radar of 1980's. I realize you want to rest on your pseudo laurels, but look it up and make a case....for once.
