Sure Fox, and MSNBC and CNN and...and..and...etc. Theres no such thing as fact based journalism anymore, or perhaps even ever, but its certainly more blatant in the last 10-15 years than I can certainly recall.
Nobod ycan grow enough corn to fuel the cars of the world and nobody can produce enough wind power to power the world. That you can is the real fantasy.
You are also pointing out exclusively imports. I would also just like to add to that the U.S. makes 42% of its own oil. So you COULD say that "most of our oil is from North America" and be pretty safe with that argument. 16% is from the Persian Gulf.

You are guilty of brandishing the "But Republicans" paint brush broadly. Nevermind a Republican was the figure head of the Civil Rights movement (Martin Luther King Jr) while it was opposed mainly by southern Democrats (Orval Faubus of Arkansas, Lester Maddox of Georgia, and, especially George Wallace of Alabama). There are many Liberal Republicans and many Conservative Democrats.
I think what is needed here is to stop labling people by party. Most of the "socialists" in occupy and other movements proudly admit to their socialism (Libertarian Socialism to be exact), and most progressives do likewise. Modern Liberals follow progressive policies defined as growing the government to create a society where social justice is the norm. This means there would be no rich, no poor, and the goverment would regulate that status quo. Social justice dictates that the rich must pay for the poor because the poor are unable to pay for themselves.
The Conservative argument is that in America, these programs promote a wellfare state in which we make the poor complacent with "free stuff" (paid for by the rich) and they give their governors more power in exchange. That this system does not encourage people to become self sufficient and successful.
I would further posit that progressivism is slavery in disguise, bringing me back to Martin Luther King Jr who had a dream of all americans being equal to "open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children." The point being they would be provided opportunity, not handed wellfare checks and told to sit down and shut up, the Government is here to take care of you.
I hate assholes who stink up the work bathroom because they just cant go at home. 8:30 every morning there is a cloud of poo particles wafting from the bathroom next to my desk.
Its worse than that, the restraunt franchise also would have the annoying tendency to serve the same old dishes, nomatter how many grand openings they have. My main complaint about ALL star wars games is that they can't create new content. Which is why you have people battling on FUCKING HOTH in every god damned franchise. FUCKING HOTH!!! A god damned iceberg in fucking space that was essentially not even worthy of a footnote to an Imperial Admiral searching for Rebels, yet has shown up in EVERY FUCKING ITERATION of expanded universe.
This will increase dramatically the number of times some friend or relative gets irrationally pissed off at you for ignoring their phone call or screening them because you are not immediately answering your cell phone.:D
Uh, Microsoft has nothing to do with the nuclear reactor, its Bill Gates himself backing a 3rd party company. Try to at least pretend to keep up with the thread.
Can you come up with a few more excuses to justify taxing the F out of people who are really trying to employ people? Go ahead, a few more. Its not McDonnalds we are talking about. This is TRULY the middle class you and your ilk are trying to make your rally cry about getting fucked. But because he is getting fucked by big government and not big business its okay. What bullshit.
He has owned his main restaurant for 30 years in Portland Oregon, he was looking to add an expansion into Clackamas Oregon. His business is doing fine, but not fine enough to absorb double the start-up costs simply because he is a brick-n-mortar (I highlight this because permanent sitting food carts are the main competition and don't have to pay any fees for dumping their waste down the sewer grates). The building was already there, it was previously a restaurant. So what infrastructure was needed?
You have absolutely no clue how much it costs going into business in the united states. I had a friend who wanted to open a restaurant (sure its not a manufacturing job, but stay with me here). For a $200,000 restaurant, it would cost another $200,000 in fees, like $60,000 public transit fee (my favorite), fees for traffic, fees for sewer upgrades that werenâ(TM)t actually needed, fees for every space they would have in their parking lot, fees for handicap access. In China you just don't have that problem.
The massive left wing agenda to redistribute the wealth has caused these problems.
You could easily have an excellent sci-fi collection of 54 books without having a single old, white male author among them.
Yes, we should stop publishing white male authors until blacks and hispanics have decided they want to write sci-fi as much as white males. How far are we going to cary this farce of social injustice before we start to realize that blacks and hispanics are just interested in different crap than we are (on average)? Its not a CRIME to have different culteral priorities and interests.

Please tickle your "fancy" behind closed doors. Some of us are like to retain our vision.
What annoys the shit out of me is when I google something and the first several links are to god damned facebook posts.

Lookup libertarian socialism on fucking google and get back to me.
Who the fuck is Harry McCracken?
So you don't want a conversation at all. I provided a wall of text and you pick out something to troll on and proceed to kill dialogue.

Bill Gates never said the 640K ram myth, nobody can find a source for it. I'm no microsoft shill but enough already.

Star Craft MMO FTW!
Not necessarily, since all these things were already created as a weapon and innovated to use as a non-weapon.

No, he in fact didnt open the business at all.
Well American cities are still an American problem. I refer to the whole package of trouble doing business in this country, not just the Fed.
Thank you, thank you *bow* *bow*
As an aside i drink real beer here.
Funny thing about Germans is most of them speak at least passable english, unlike the U.S.
