Oh? really? Scare tactics? This is called free speech to those of us who still value freedom. Right! There is a HELL of a lot to be scared of! What's the big hurry Obama? Not so fast. A majority of us don't trust you. This is not about health or care; its about the Trojan horse of govt control. Its a thousand pages of draconian regulations that the socialist morons in congress haven't even read yet, the effect of which will give Bigger Brother ultimate power over our personal lives. AND... if you don't pay for heath insurance?... This we do know: Max Bonk-us of Montana (D) will fine you $3,800!!! This would be called tyranny in another century. The Founding Fathers are rolling in there graves!
Do you eat Cheese burgers? Do you smoke? Do you own a gun? Do you drink? The Feral Government will know all this information and more about all your habits. Nobama. No. We don't want our money used for abortion on demand. While you accuse the other side for lack of "honest debate".... this is exactly what we don't have from you. There is no transparency, just a ram rod and slick talk about all your going to do.

A cosplay Yamamba dressed like a jailbird (or a zebra) in a leopard skirt with Wicked Witch of the East ruby slippers... No thanks ...and this is not a girl. The freaky cartoon animal on the shirt that doesn't like winter? A dog? A bear? No, not cute at all. FAIL.

Even if they don't "use it" themselves...a cash strapped NK will sell to terrorists groups flush with cash. This is the big worry.

Japan punishes women for having babies. Gee? Any correlation here with one of the world's lowest fertility rates? Myopic economics and corporate culture club behavior. A nation of DINKs, no grand kids and no future.

Could the Taliban be perceived as "an occupation army" since many are not Afghanis? Hmmmm. Either s#%t or get off the pot. Either use overwhelming force or go home. Don't send our boys to cower behind static bunkers as the Taliban rain down fire. Defense never won a war.

I got to visit Mo docked at Pearl in 2003. Surprised to see that the deck was made of wood. Things might have ended different if that kamikaze bomb had gone off.

Darwin 101. Dark or light, the law of the jungle can never be eliminated, only papered over by the veneer of civilization in better times. Natural order is not moralistic. Evil opportunists will always multiply in an atmosphere of fear and desperation.

An oxymoronic statement. Can it last? No. The fundamentals are not there. The market psychology is not there and the jobs lost this time around are systemic losses. Government induced stimulus measures do not a recovery make.
Market psychology does not take its direction from "most economists" who are not looking at the damage done to credit markets and credit scores that will take years to repair. With no business expansion, there will be no jobs. with no jobs, no recovery. Bank failures and vertical free fall to the market can return with a vengeance at any time as it did after the 1929 crash. Cancer in the housing market and banking is not going away anytime soon. In some places there is a 10 year inventory of unsold homes. Generating a REAL money supply mop to soak up this mess will take as many years as it took to create the bubble, maybe more. Relatively cheap oil will help for a while, but the short leash of peak oil will snap growth back south as prices climb.
Right on sf2k.

What do I think of saturated grease masquerading as food? The annual dumping of petro chemicals on sterile ground to grow cattle chow for BK? The grotesque obesity epidemic of a super sized western fast food culture that threatens the biodiversity of earth? Monolithic corporate farming for greedy Wall Street banksters? The death of the family farm? Genetically modified KFChickens with breasts so big they cant fly... An iconic clown that looks like Chester the molester? What do I think? We are doomed.

The over zealous security at airports after 911.."please step over here miss while we scan through your clothes..." and forcing little kids and granny's to be detained and searched is all very humiliating to Americans as well. Some have chosen not to fly as a result. With a porous southern border, terrorists don't need to fly to get in the US, they can just walk or drive across, which points up the absurdity of post 911 airport security.

It all comes down to totalitarian Big Brother control over our lives. Americans are simply saying, "NObama!"
Congress signs spending bills with regularity into law for saving a snails or building a multi million $ library that no one needs without even reading the bills. Then they all go out for lunch and martinis and hold a press conference about how good this spending will be for America, jobs and the economy, which is pure BS.
Have any of them read Obamacare from beginning to end? No, of course not. Lucky enough for Americans, this small fact wont prevent them from shoving it down our throat.
Should we protest this, we are demonized by the Speaker of the House and in the press as un-American for exercising our right of free speech! Such fundamental freedom is what separates liberty from tyranny. Based on this alone, we have much to fear from these socializing fascists whose goal it is to destroy America and our Constitution.
