US House Limits Constituent Emails
Plechazunga passes along this note from The Hill: "The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites from crashing due to the enormous amount of mail being submitted on the financial bailout bill. As a result, some constituents may get a 'try back at a later time' response if they use the House website to e-mail their lawmakers about the bill defeated in the House on Monday in a 205-228 vote."
You do realize it was Republicans who proposed this little coup, and tried to push it through with fear, right? That fact escaped you, or are you going to be like the rest of the herd, ignore history as recent as last week, and pretend this was a Democratic proposal?
The partisan politics must stop. If there is to be an actual revolution, I will gladly and without reservation end anyone who believes that someone is either worthy or unworthy just for being in a political party. The situation is that serious, and our first President had the forsight (or more accurately, a knowledge of history) to see the danger of partisan politics.
Stating on Slashdot that I like cheese since 1997.
that's about it now. greed, fear & ego are unprecedented evile's primary weapons. those, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' life0cidal hired goons' agenda. most of yOUR dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'wars', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid schemes. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & any notion of prosperity for us, or our children, not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one. see you on the other side of it. the lights are coming up all over now. conspiracy theorists are being vindicated. some might choose a tin umbrella to go with their hats. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

Are you also proud of being in the party of the deregulators then led us to this mess?
Guy, shut up.
His post was so perfectly spot on, and you're such an imbecile, that anything you write will only be some equivalent of
"duh, i'm a blithering idiot, duh"
So why don't you just get cancer and make the world a better place by dying painfully.
Educated people tend to congregate here. Educated people don't tend to be republicans. There are exceptions, of course, but generally it's a safer bet that someone is trolling if they start playing republican here.
Actually, to extend the analogy, the company (country) hired me (the legislature) because they thought that I (they) knew what I (they) were doing.
It is too late, when the shit hits the fan, to try to jump in and take control. You have to hope that you made the right choice when everything was going well.
That's what pisses me off about government in general. When I vote for someone, I'm imagining nuclear fucking war, and I want my guy to be there making decisions. Other people vote for someone they'd want to hang out with in a bar.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
Don't worry, the left-wing media is spending time talking about how laws passed by a Democrat controlled congress are all Bush's fault.
Face it, the guy in the hot seat, right behind the "The Buck Stops Here" sign gets the blame or credit for whatever bad or good happens, even when it's not especially his fault. I note that, as an example, Clinton got a fair amount of heat for a recession that was really the fault of the previous Bush Administration.
But do remember that everything that goes before Congress now does so with the approval of the Democrats, who have been in charge there for most of Bush's presidency.
Note, by the way, that the author(s) of a Bill aren't nearly so important as the people who vote for it. There hasn't been a bill before Congress in the history of the country that was passed because all the authors voted for it, and everyone else voted against.
"I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
"You deserve/have the right to [item] regardless of your ability to pay." This is not a capitalist catchphrase. This is socialism at work.
No, that is not *necessarily* socialism at work. It depends entirely upon who the "deserving" party is.
If it's some poor entity, then it's socialism.
If it's a rich entity then it's fascism.
That's the difference between the left and the right. Whose benefit they want to use the state to fuck everyone else over in favor of.
So, when you see somebody claiming some big government bullshit is necessarily "socialism" without paying attention to the details which make all the difference, you can easily recognize them as a big government ninny state right wing extremist fascist shitbag.
Oh, and that's you, by the way.
