Sarge, it appears that you are still miffed about last November? Oh well there is always 2024, so do not worry.
Now about that "mission accomplished" that the last President hoisted up behind him. Me thinks he was wrong, and me thinks he led us into one big mess in Iraq that you guys still will not admit....
BTW, I know that you guys on the right (I consider you right and not far right like some others here :P) still can not admit that Bush made a mistake but I will give more time to accept that. After we have some more Taliban and Al-Qaeda heads you will come around.
It is only a matter of time before you accept the power of the dark.....Err hm ah,sorry, I was having a Cheney moments...Now where was I, Oh yes, it is only a matter of time before you see the light and accept the facts.
Iraq was safer and al qaeda was not there before Bush and gang Invaded for the oil. Only a matter of time....(looking at my watch)

You are correct, as long as religions have power within governments they will continue terrorizing the peoples of the world. The only way to end all terror is to ban organized religions from having say in government policies.
Religion has been a rift in the peace process for way too long. Today the religion that is in a holy crusade is Islam. 40 years ago it was the Jewish faith. Before that it was German Christians and so on.
Well done pointing out a fact LastBestHope, most far right wingers would never have stepped out there like you did, for that I commend you...
BRAVO ZULU LastBestHope, a far right winger that has read history!

I have recently seen and heard some of those bike roaring down streets. Just when you thought you were safe from the noise of Doctors and lawyers riding very expensive bikes. Now I have to hear these morons here in Japan. If the streets were not small enough. These morons ride their bikes through some small roads. You know that all they are doing is trying to be different. But in fact they just seem so bloody stupid.
HD was a very expensive fad in the states that thank the ancient gods died out. So they (HD) had to find a new market. What do they do? They sell their crap expensive bikes here in Japan.
I had many friends in the States that would have rather burnt out their eyes with hot pokers than paid $20,000 for those over priced noise makers.
My friends would find old torn up bikes and rebuilt them. But that is a different type of rider than the ones HD wants.

Yours is a very good question. BUt you must understand someone like Palin and the rest of the far still are upset by the defeat last year.
They are trying anything they can to try and bring President Obama down. But every time they try the look worse and worse.
Right now Palin looks like an incarnation of the Bible Lady with her use of the word.....EEEEEEvil! Only thing missing was the echo....LOL
LastBestHope, yesterday you stated that FactCheck.org was owned by George Soros. But your statement was debunked.
LastBestHope at 07:57 PM JST - 9th August It's embarrassing to read here that some people think the Soros Project know as factcheck.org is actually an objective, credible source for details about government policy and US politics in general.
Since I do not mind being corrected I was wondering if you had any proof that George Soros owns FACTCHECK.org? Or were you mistaken?

I am glad to see that you took time in reading the 1018 page plan. This shows a willingness to keep an eye on our government. For others who wish to take a look at the bill I have provided a link to it.
http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf
The only thing that did confuse me about your post was that the Government version did not read like your post at all. Let's take Page 22 of the Bill, you mentioned;
Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure
But as I said before I read page 22 and it differs greatly from what you posted. So to get some clarity which subsection were you implying when you name the page A-E?
The reason I ask is because as I did some fact checking that line reads;
A STUDY SHOULD BE COMMISSIONED TO DETERMINE -- IN GENERAL -- HOW MANY EMPLOYERS ARE SELF-FUNDING THEIR BENEFITS AND MIGHT WANT TO SHIFT THEIR EMPLOYEES TO THE HEALTH EXCHANGE.
Funny that there is no mention of the word auditing in that bill?
BTW that is just one question that I will ask you to answer and please do show me where exactly does the word audit show up. I would love to see it on page 22 but I just can not find it.
Also of the 1018 page bill you could only find 17 lines to dispute. That alone makes me think that it is not that bad.
Oh wait a minute....You did not do your own research! You just copied and pasted from another far right wing site! Sad sad sad....
http://www.therebel.org/opinion/health/little-gems-from-the-health-care-bill/
Wow, and I thought you had done some fact checking yourself!
Man you far right types can not think for yourselves can you? Sad....
Post like yours keep showing that Palin and the rest of the far right do not have a clue about they are talking about. Lies and fabrications by the far right keep building.
Palin called Obama's plan evil, but the facts keep proving that she and the right do not know what the truth really is....

Money does make the world go round. Money the ugly man's equalizer...LOL
Why do men go to these types of events?
Well because we are driven by our hormones and the sight of a pretty woman drives our hormones. Well some of us, some other men would rather have handsome cabin boys running around. But everyone has their own tastes. Some like snails while others like oysters.....

"Move along, move along now, nothing to see here, keep moving to the next article. Just far left propaganda, nothing to see here. Do not mind the melting ice, happens all the time, go to another topic."
"Do not look at the fake ice, all done with photo shop. Do not believe your own eyes. Big business and the Republican party will tell you what to believe. Trust us, we love the future...."
Ah yes, another bit of proof that the far right will claim is not real.....LOL

Ah yes, "the White man is hated" far right slogan. I do love that one, really I do. Makes me laugh whenever I watch one of your rallies on youtube. White guys yelling at those rallies makes you guys seem a bit paranoid.
But I think the white race is safe for now. It seems that you forgot something, there are 8 other Justices who serve on the court. So I think the White man maybe okay, well for now that is.
Now who is going to retire next? LOL

You know if Palin's staff would just do some checking for her she would stop looking sooo darn goofy. By making such claims with use of the word EEEEEeeeEEEeevil....
It is very embarrassing when someone does not really check where he/she heard or read a fib like that. No problem I am here to help.
Check it out....
http://www.factcheck.org/about/
Take a look at the board and you will note no George Soros.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FactCheck#Spin-offsandother_fact-checkers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annenberg_Foundation
http://www.annenbergfoundation.org/
BTW the Annenberg foundation has nothing to do with Soros and it is the main donor to FactCheck. The board of directors consists of;
Wallis Annenberg
Lauren Bon
Gregory Annenberg Weingarten
Charles Annenberg Weingarten
No George Soros there......
It is incredible how when facts correct Republican hype you guys go after the source. Sad....

If I wanted to I could say that the sky was orange and round brown snails kept the earth moving on it's axis. But with out any proof I maybe lying, well unless you wear a tin hate all the time.
With that it is time to correct Hworta269 with facts and figures versus his pluck it from the air tactic.
As of 2009 the U.S. population stood at 305,000,000 (305 Million)
No need in adding more people than there are.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DemographicsoftheUnitedStates
Correction again the actual number of uninsured was 47,000,000(47 million) as of 2007.
The figure of 47 million comes for the census Bureau. Out of those 47 million 79% are native born or citizens. Meaning 37,130,000 U.S. citizens are uninsured.
The remaining 9,870,000 are either uninsured legal residents or illegals (9.87 million)
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/03/uninsured-us-citizens/
Like I said with out facts you are pushing hot air. Where did you come up with these so called numbers? Rush help you out?
Fact please, please provide your links. I provided mine....Guess what mine were not left wing sites either...
Proof, any? Please show us the money, or in this case the smoking gun!
Do not come with some far right pundit site that had it's agenda to support. Their lies can and have been shot down more than once.
BTW here is something to help you out. But be careful to read all the way to the bottom.
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/06/the-real-uninsured/
You maybe surprised to find out the goooood ole Fred was stretching his numbers a bit. Do not just read the top, read what FACTCHECK found and corrected, hint, it is on the bottom of the page.
Have fun and hope to find out where you really got your information from....

I love the term Obamacare, it is so pundit of you.....LOL
2007 gallup took a poll of 1004 insured adults. This poll is one of the major debate points the far right is using to help defend their friends the Insurance Corps.
I love polls especially when they are conducted with only 1004 people.....LOL
Fun facts, did you know that 85.2% of Canadians reported that they were "satisified" or "very satisfied" with their health care? Much better than the 54% in America.....LOL
Below is the link...
http://www.gallup.com/poll/102934/majority-americans-satisfied-their-own-healthcare.aspx
Small segment......Okay wait a minute so 46,000,000 (46 million)uninsured and an untold number who are dissatisfied with their health care to you are a small segment? LOL
So if you had 100 yen from each of these people what would that make you? Poor? LOL
BTW if each of these people gave you 100 yen you would be rich, so do not say it is small. That just shows where you sit.......
So please tell us what you know about the "Obama" health care plan. I am dying to know what you know......Or are you just going to skip over this question because you only know what you are told?
Here is a link to the Obama health care plan to help you do the math for yourself instead of getting it fed to you through your ear....

Sites provided are about just the facts no spin no lobbyist hype to mush your brain. Just the facts, read and enjoy and then bango you know more rather than less and you actually have facts rather than spout what you are told.....
I love the whoppers the far right tells it's followers. You really need to do some factchecking of your own. You maybe surprised by what you find.
As always, in an effort to help the far right here are just the facts Joe, just the facts....

Do a little of fact checking, all you are saying is what you are fed by the far right. Do you really believe that they are giving you the full story? Or could it be that they maybe fibbing a bit?LOL
Wait, there are no "take backs" here, Palin thinks this is EEEEEEEEEEvil......or did she say Liveeeeeee? I just do not know.....LOL
BTW more facts, one of the main groups that is fronting this anti-reform effort is called Americans for Prosperity and they are funded by....oh wait instead of telling I will provide you a link so you can get informed......

Don't think the President will authorize the release of nukes. It would take a whole lot for him to be forced to use them. Now not saying a small yield warhead would not be a nice site exploding over a Taliban training camp. But, I really do not think he would release any at this time.

Very good point Sarge, my parents are die hard Republicans. The placement of a Hispanic to the courts will not sway them to become Democrats.
As I stated before, as for me, I will not join the Democratic party just because of this reason. Neither would I have joined the Republican party if she were a Conservative.
How many African Americans joined the Republican party when Justice Thomas got the post? Not many at all.......
