  1. It wasn't being held in his home. It was held in a "2000 square foot building" that he built in his backyard. Sounds like this guy is trying to make himself into a martyr. It sounds like there should have been some actions prior to sending in an assault team to arrest him. My office once broke a zoning law.... we got a letter telling us about it.....

  4. Yes. Faulty logic. Here you go. [URL "http://robertdfeinman.com/society/ayn_rand.html"]Ayn Rand's Social Policy[/URL] The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. James Madison, Federalist No. 45, January 26, 1788 Right so it's not nonsense.... just your opinion that it is.

  5. Exactly. All of that is still going on today. That's the problem. Except minorities are now given priority. So I agree with you... we should stop crap like affirmative action!

  6. I've heard this argument before. It is thoroughly unconvincing, randian nonsense. You have heard it bc it is call "logic". Care to explain why it is "randian nonsense"?

  7. OK. So you are basically saying that blacks and minorities in the U.S. commit most of the crimes and that is why they make up the majority of the prison population. It's a circular argument. The important question, that is not addressed is WHY? Don't you think that as patriotic Americans we should be alarmed? Do you believe that blacks and latinos in America are innately predisposed to criminal activity? (That article you quoted is long-winded way to beg the question ) No not really because the premise is sound even if you do not think it is.... do I thin they are predisposed to crime... no. Do I think how they are raised and the culture they live in makes them more likely to commit crime.... yes sadly. The more they live on handouts the worse it will get. The repressing is being done by the enablers. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  9. yes - get rid of all deductions, all incentives, every single little 'special gift' that the politicians 'gave' to the people to buy their votes - (that goes for multi-millionaires CEOs, welfare moms, and the middle class) - then tax at one rate for all sources of income (richer people pay more dollars - so it's still progressive in amount - but equal in proportion (proportion is also considered a share)) A uniform $$ amount (everyone pays the same amount rather than the same percentage) is also fair - but I don't think it's doable or practical of course, "fair" is subjective to the max - that's just my definition what's 'fair' about someone with low income paying nothing? what's 'fair' about the uber rich getting special deductions that only they can leverage and paying nothing? what's 'fair' about a home owner paying less than a non-home owner? etc etc etc Agree 100% Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  10. it's still stupid - income is income, taxing different buckets at different rates is just social engineering - which the gov should stay out of +1 then of course you agree that having a progressive rate structure is also unnecessary social engineering as is mortgage deductions and subsidies for solar panels and subsidies to banks and industries to keep them alive and cars for cash efforts etc etc etc I don't like all of these - I think it's unnecessary I don't like the lefty philosophy, because they want to play favorites all the time and meddle with who gets which bennies I don't like the 'typical' righties, because they claim to want my philosophy, but then they cry if they think they'll lose their precious special rates and deductions (it would be easier if we wiped the slate clean and just establish a single set of rules) I think you are saying flat tax... are you? If so I agree. Get rid of the deductions and make everyone pay their "fair" share! Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  11. Interesting stats...where are they from? According to the IRS tax stats (2009), the 200k+ filers (roughly the top 3%) earned 26% of the total income, and paid 50% of the total income taxes. 500k+ filers are 0.5% of filers, earn 14% of the total income and pay 30% of the total income taxes. The dreadful evil millionaires are 0.16% of filers, earn 9.5% of the total income and pay 20.5% of the total income taxes. So...how much *MORE* of the burden to you think they should carry? Enough that their overall tax rate is not less than that of their administrative assistants. Investment income should be taxed like any other income, not at some special favored rate for the rich. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aufAtuTwKlE Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  12. ??? I do not know what polls you are looking at but it is Romney with the lead in the polls. If that was true I am still not worried....

Obama lead (average) +1.5 www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html That's an average going back to 6/24... the most recent have Romney winning or tied. In July against and incumbent spending way more... I like what I am seeing. Even with that average.... it is within the margin of error. Things are looking good.

  15. We are not desperate. Obama is.... you can see it by how he is "trying" to raise money and the class warfare he is waging.

  16. The fact is the economy is in stagnation NOT recovery and we are teetering on recession again. Good for you and not recognizing what facts are.

  17. Must be why the Russell 2000 and Microcap have dropped so much since Obama came to office. Russell 2000, 1st day Bush term: 490 Russell 2000, last day Bush term: 433 Russell 2000, today: 805 That has little to do with him and more to do with the ability for businesses to survive only to get yelled at for hoarding cash and laying off employees to do so. I see - anything good in the economy is nothing to do with Obama. The recession had nothing to do with Bush, but the slow recovery is Obama's fault. Got it. If he would stay out of everything it would run a lot better. His policies = more intrusion, more spending, devaluing of the dollar, higher taxes, and weakness militarily. You love him... great... I think he is the worst or one of the worst POTUS that we have ever had. The GOP would have lost the last election regardless.... it's too bad the lib's got so jacked up on "hope & change" BS and failed to realize this guy does not have a clue. They should have had Hilary as their nominee. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  20. Well, a weak recovery sure beats the worst recession in modern times brought to us by the GOP and its front man GWB. So let's think back 4 years to what the GOP did. Here we go... blame Bush bc the left has no real solutions and are sucking it up right now. Your statement an opinion just like everyone else's political thoughts. The housing market started all of this... follow the money and you will find many Dems had their pockets lined by the housing business and how mortgages were being pushed. A few from the right warned against those practices as well as a few from the left but it was the left that said, "no everything is fine". Thanks Barney! If you blame Obama for the weak recovery (which you did) then you have to blame Bush for the recession. I notice the value of my retirement account decreased some 20% during Bush's tenure, and has increased some 75% during Obama's. If you blame Obama for the weak recovery (which you did) then you have to blame Bush for the recession. No I don't but he had a hand in it by not stopping things I believe he could have. He also spent too much money! I notice the value of my retirement account decreased some 20% during Bush's tenure, and has increased some 75% during Obama's. That's great for you but that is not the only thing that matters. Not everyone has had the same results and many business owners have lost more since Obama has been in charge.

  21. look... I know there are a lot of factors. If you want to call it coincidence to satisfy your world view I am fine with that. You cannot deny the facts though. All of the states with GOP gov. are recovering faster. If you want to say it is bc of Barry.... all good. There is no use in arguing bc it will get us nowhere. I will never understand how a person can say what Obama has done is good for the economy. I am a conservative and had no problem giving props to Clinton for what he accomplished or agreeing with libs at times when I thought Bush was screwing up and spending too much. Why is it so hard to admit that the economy is still in the crapper and is stalled? He may not be making it worse but he sure isn't making it better. The spin on the latest round of job reports was laughable. For Barry to get up there and actually try to put a positive spin to those horrible numbers is a complete joke. I give credit where it is due and that goes for Dem's in office too but I cannot think of a single positive thing Obama has done. He is over his head and does not know what he is doing. Hillary would have been a far better POTUS than Barry is. Vent over Not "satisfying my world view"...I don't care much about politics. I'm just making an observation about the political spin that I find ironic, If this is important to you, cool...knock yourself out. What is important to me are my businesses. I do not give a damn about social views etc. I think the govt. should stay out of everyone's business personally but I only vote based on the economy and our economy is small businesses which Obama is killing.

  24. Some states with Dem govs showed improvment too. But not as much http://www.examiner.com/article/new-republican-governors-rapidly-bringing-down-unemployment-their-states This sounds like a good campaign advertisement for Obama. His recovery plans must be working, huh? The Joint Economic Committee (JEC), spearheaded by Texas congressman Kevin Brady, put out a report saying that the Obama recovery now ranks dead last in modern times. That’s a real milestone in the post-WWII era. It’s ten out of ten for both jobs and economic growth. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real GDP has expanded only 6.7 percent over the eleven-quarter recovery since the recession ended. The Reagan recovery at the same stage had increased by 17.6 percent. The Clinton recovery by 8.7 percent. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/304935/obama-s-goose-cooked-larry-kudlow It is obvious that what he is doing is not working. What the GOP Gov. are doing is! Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  25. 169 crossfire 2 loaded at a 1.5. All my fault. Tracking away from a 10 way saw someone way too close to me... corrected course but I was looking at my distance from that person when I pitched so I was in a turn... dumb. Line twist that took me for a spinning ride. That is when I learned how great of a canopy my PDR 176 is! Not just bc it opened great but it was great to fly too!
