Putting aside the "petty" differences for now in order to unite and re-enshrine the Constitution will ensure that we can pick up the disagreements later if desired.Failure to do so ensures that we will NOT because slaves enjoy no such luxury.

Not offensive at all. The Federal Reserve are the ones in control IMO, and no, they are not the good guys. There is some interesting reading on the internet about what they do and why the country is in such a mess ! It's sickening.My apologies if I was found to be offensive as my intent was to be the opposite.
Oh good.Not offensive at all. The Federal Reserve are the ones in control IMO, and no, they are not the good guys. There is some interesting reading on the internet about what they do and why the country is in such a mess ! It's sickening.
I am a liberal and nobody would say that my mouth is afraid of offending anybody.James, I think many Liberals are concerned about offending everyone, except conservatives of course...lol.
I really feel that you are WAY off base in this assumption. Sorry, but it was NOT the Common Joe who got us into this problem. It was our government, which has been totally fiscally irresponsible for decades. And it's much worse now than ever.The solution on the other hand isn't quite rational. Replacing the guy in charge has made no difference. The same problem keeps happening no matter who is in charge sense 1917. We all need to take personal responsibility for insisting on adding the pool and getting the job for our friend, those are the actions that caused the problem, and we can't blame the person in charge for giving us what we asked for. The idea that replacing the person in charge is going to make everyone happy to give up their unnecessary Jobs and sell their pool table that they payed for with their home owners fee's isn't realistic. This shifting the blame to the person in charge is everyone's way of not feeling guilty for there own poor decisions.
I didn't vote for Obama because I thought he had a complete lack of experience. I also firmly believe that he didn't even have the slightest intentions of running for president, but the liberal party "found" him and felt they'd promote him, and he accepted. I'm sure they thought, "Hey... look at this Obama guy! Great looking, so he'll appeal to the women. Half white so he'll appeal to an even bigger cross-section of voters, and half black so we'll get the black vote. Smart, too, and a good public speaker. Let's get him to run, and he'll be a shoo-in."This video is a wonderful example of the sneaky way politics are played. I don't think that it is a coincidence that we have a very non threatening cartoon video, that is very well thought out and informative that explains a lot of information, relatively in-depth. But then in the last few moments throws in, vote out the president and magically the sun will start shining and all of our problems will disappear. I am thinking Tom made this video, and don't see it as a good sign that he will be any different than Steve if he is already spending his time and money makeing manipulative videos to trick voters into getting him in a position of power. LOL
Oh pleeeease. All politicians do that at some point - look at all the "mafioso" tactics during the healthcare ruckus or even the 2008 campaign. Saying that SS checks might be delayed was mild compared to "grannies" being told that they would have no SS, that they woud be judged by *threatening drumroll* new Death Panels, that if Obama was elected or healthcare was passed, their lives would be changed forever and the country would immediately turn into some kind of frightening socialist state. Those "socialist" threats were played up to the hilt (many not even knowing exactly what it meant) - and many were worried that we would turn into a Stalin era Russia. And if THAT did not work, then the inevitable comparisons to Hitler and the Nazis were/are made.\The fed puts us in hock for TRILLIONS of dollars for foreign banks and insurance conglomerates, yet the farce of a charade called the debt ceiling "crisis" and Obama's mafioso tactic of scaring granny by saying "I don't know if I will be able to mail your SS check in August seems to go by un-noticed by most.
Oh wait... Reagan said that in 1983. Nothing ever really changes. The debt ceiling was raised 18 times during his administration. 7 times during Bush's (W) terms. The only President that never raised the debt ceiling was Truman.The full consequences of a default — or even the serious prospect of default — by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of the United States would have substantial effects on the domestic financial markets and the value of the dollar in exchange markets. The Nation can ill afford to allow such a result. The risks, the costs, the disruptions, and the incalculable damage lead me to but one conclusion: the Senate must pass this legislation before the Congress adjourns.
IMO you are exactly right, James. It is just the way to achieve that GENERAL goal that becomes the issue...I believe the general goal is to develop a country that is stable and in relation to others, balanced economically, while not taking away from peoples personal liberties. It is not an easy task and everyone will have a different idea were to draw that line.
Tag - how dare you chime in - you're not even American how could you possibly have anything to contributeMeh, I should know better than to post in these threads.
Stir it, why don't you, miniwhinny.Tag - how dare you chime in - you're not even American how could you possibly have anything to contributeGo back to your room and stay there:rofl
Oh, I'm sad you interpreted my actions that wayStir it, why don't you, miniwhinny.
Miniwhinny, you're a shoe in if there's ever a resident, anonymous / never named troll contest on LB. You're always much more likely to try to fan flames, be nasty and stir up anger than to contribute something of worth or on message. Nothing was going wrong with the discussion and you were not trying to keep it from going in a negative direction. You were very transparently aiming to be spiteful, once again, Ms. Kitty. Maybe tomorrow will be a better and more uplifting day for youOh, I'm sad you interpreted my actions that wayI was just trying to help you enforce your board rules Jill. Knowing how much it upsets you when a non citizen tries to talk politics I was trying to be helpful and save you some stress by stopping it before it went any further...and obviously my stepping in on your behalf worked.
