what little I have heard and read of it sounds like fascism and racism. Its nothing but a stinking manifesto to ruin whats left of the country and loot the general population. Its even stupider than Huckabee's talk comparing our health insurance to home owners insurance.The republican manifesto on how to ruin a nation a new manual for a new contract on America.

the pledge is all old stuff cash, why repeat the stuff that got us here? Even if you agree Obama should have done differnt? YOU can't blame him for the recession. He DID NOT do it.
last night Jon Stewart did a very good "bit" (that's what comedians call their peices) on the Pledge. here it is:
go to 7:30, he's going to show you side by side old clips and new clips where they repeat the exact same "pledge" ...
This was almost the exact same pledge given in 1994 then called the contract with America. Didn't work out to good for them then

young Boehner- Old Boehner saying the same thing really is kindof funny in a sad sort of way...
the Dems deserved to lose the Congress in 94.
It SEEMED to be better for the country to have a split Govt.
BUT, this situation is beginning to take on a Saturday Night Live look to me, and i mean the old SNL when John Belushi was trippin' out every show...
wait till the GOP puts Haley Barbour up agin Obama...
this country will will be like the wicked witch after Dorthy threw water on 'er...

I know that glass, are you telling me that a lot of things he said to get elected...were not puffery? Sure you say candidates make campaign promises all the time that dont ever amount to anything, but he promised change from that. He said HE was the different one, the real deal free of special interests. What he really meant was free from Bush special interests. He has his own, big time.

He coulda got a lot more done, but the Kochie-Koos bought enough moderate Senators to foul up the works...

Alright tex, ill take a gander and see what its about.

cash, i told you he wasn't superman before the election.
after you've watched a half dozen presidantial elections? you realise 90% of it is BS from all of 'em.
and guess what? nobody would vote for an honest person.

I think he has a fundamental honesty rarely found at that level.
But he's dumb as only "too-smart" people can be...
I think he actually believed that Jimmy Stewart scene.
As if a little passion and some reasonability would carry the day...that is, too green in his political career to realize the depths of Mordor.
The super-rich ain't gonna just roll over and start playing fair.
Look no further than our own Revolution.
The crown could've cut a slick deal and kept milking that goat for decades. But no, they had to get all royal about it.
Today, though, the powers-that-be have control that the crown could have only lusted toward.
Posted by glassman on :
too true Tex...
i wonder how many US citizens know that the reason the Brits wanted to raise our taxes (you know, on Tea?) was cuz the Brits were having budget problems due to the Seven Years war or as it was known int he Americas the French and Indian War?
That's where George W got his battle training as British Colonial soldier. The 7 year war doubled Britains debt and they beleive we colonists owed our "fair share"...
the colonists said they wouldn't pay without representation....
it would be a good debate whether Britain could have bought off the Colonies with a seat or two at parliamnet to diffuse the no taxation without representation issue...
there were slightly more than 2 million Colonists in 1770... Britains population was only 6.5 million a the time.
theoretically we should have had quite a few seats at the table. I don't get the sense that was what the colonists really wanted tho...
oh, i should add that ht eSeven Years War was a real world war, it was fought all over the place, not just here, but it did mostly start here
Posted by glassman on :
I think he has a fundamental honesty rarely found at that level.
But not only did they try various taxes/tariffs etc, they tried that goofy "quartering" thing.
That's one of the great ironies examined by no author, pundit, sociologist, etc that I know of, or about.
On the one hand, you've got a significant percentage of the populace primed to fight back. And? They're across an ocean beyond your in-country troops. And? By this point, they not only know the terrain but also they're more adept at the fighting style of the indigenous people.
So say I'm one of them. Let's go further--let's say I'm undecided: I was thinking about joining them, but NOW this bugs me: Do I *really* want to put up with providing three hots and a cot for some snot-nosed punk from corn'all-lest'shire whatever?
Then? then...then throw in the allure of *all* the western lands to the Mississippi.
-*-*-*-
So, really that's sort of easy to get behind.
Nowadays, though, if things get squirrely, who would welcome federal troops into their home?
Sure, a first reaction might be, "Hayle, yeah, I love me some soldiers and feel safer if there's some right here at hand."
Others might react as, "Hayle, no, I ain't about to have no feds-whatever in my house."
It could get dicey.

Images of other realities you exist in... This reality is a dream to those realities and seem just as peculiar.
Considering the quantum nature of the brain this would then seem to be a plausible notion.

Ok so I just saw Wall St 2, and it kind of pissed me off. I mean it was good, but....Oliver Stone made it more of a love story than hardcore business. Oh and the original Bud Fox makes a timely appearance in the movie, make you laugh.
