What all of you non-political types have been missing: these Hawaiian "indian rights" organizationd, that were being organized by the Democrats, have actually been co-opted by the Chinese, who are funneling millions into Hawaiian separatist movements. They hope to take Hawaii away from us, to punish us for our "meddling". Look it up.
Not to be a killjoy, but all this does is prove what the Right says: "government cannot do anything right". And for those of you that think that's it's only the *military* part of the govt that is incompetent...you're delusional. Besides, have some perspective: the US govt spends ~22billion EVERY DAY. 10 billion over 10 years is barely a rounding error.
Riiiight...but Chamberlain at least had actual signatures on the paper, had his country's interests at heart, and Hitler had to lie to him. And in the end, dont forget the important part: he was wrong.
Sorry, but that's wrong. The Left is group ideologies, the Right is individuals. Joiners and loners. In American politics, the LEFT is the organizer. They have issues, memes, marches, and move in lockstep - forward! The Right is... everyone else. Individuals, who can barely cooperate, and are constantly being sold out by the Republicans, their only "effective" locus of resistance to the Left.
Really? So is POTUS now going to come down hard on Comcast, who's CEO is his golf buddy? Sure about that?
What's going to happen, is it's going to destroy the 30,000 local ISPs, allow Comcast and TW to merge...and then we'll have a giant govt-controlled monopoly running the internet. For those of you scoring at home, that's called fascism. But don't worry, I'm sure it will work out well. Sure you've just sold out one of mankind's greatest inventions, so the Left can cement it's political power. No bigs. Everything will "stay the same".
Let the a bunch of leftsts financed by George Soros take complete federal control over the internet, and micromanage it however they wish with a series of secret regs they refuse to release and refuse to testify about, based on a problem very few, if any, people can define or even say affected them in any way. Then, cheer, as the last resistance to this scheme is surrendered by people who are also probably being paid off. What could go wrong? Only a Progessive calls that progress.
So...he's concerned that customers don't have enough choice - even though the people in those states could presumably overturn the laws if they wanted - and his solution is to give customers only one choice: government internet. And with all the fabulous regulations and content restrictions that go along with it. Phabulous.
And idiot leftists would be good to stop pretending he doesn't. Honestly, the "southerners are stupid" meme is just old and busted. It will be a nice change to get NASA back into the business of space exploration, instead of climate fraud and Muslim outreach...which now consumes 2/3 of it's budget.
An average of $3,800, times as many as 9,000,000 students, for two years, is 64.8 BILLION dollars. (And I guarantee that's a LOW estimate.)
The average American makes $800,000 in income during the course of their lives. Let's call it a million, to make the numbers easy. The government taxes, on average, about 50% of the wealth that an American generates in their lives. So, for every million the govt spends, TWO citizens have to sacrifice their entire lives.
64.8 billion is the accumulated lifetime taxed earnings of 129,600 American citizens. The blood, sweat, tears, and overtime of almost 130,000 people. So, the next time you find lefties who like to pontificate about the money we're "investing"...remind them where the money actually comes from. (Hint: it's not from Obama's stash.)
Create a satellite the size of an 18 wheeler tire, with a clear window in the middle of the hub, that can be tinted electronically. Put it in orbit far enough out, that it sits between the Earth and the Sun, and all of the light that reaches the earth has to pass through that window. Then, you idiotic scientists can adjust the amount of light that actually reaches the Earth, and we can take away your remote control when we get tired of it. This way, anything that is done to "modify the climate", isn't permanent, and if you screw something up, we can shut it off. You're welcome.
This is kind of missing the point. The point of driverless cars is automating and distributing the hardware. If driverless cars become reality, rental companies (or even Uber) will rent them out when you need them. So, fewer people will actually even need to own a car. Everyone can share cars, more easily.
I'm tired of all these green-eyed fanatics wanting to terraform earth back to their own favorite version of 1970. How about instead of permenantly altering the biosphere, you do this: make a giant glass window the size of a truck tire. Launch it into space and put it far enough away that all of the light that the earth receives is through that window. Now you can electrically "tint" that windown and restrict all the sunlight you want...and if you screw anything up, we can reverse it and btch slap all of you and take your remote control away. We all win. Thank you, earth.
Please. Net neutrality is total BS. Packets are not created equal. Anyone who understands even a little bit about networks know this. Like most leftie "values" they tend to evaporate upon closer inspection.
"if you were to take into account mining, pollution, and adverse health impacts of coal and gas"
And that is global warming in a nutshell. It's only serious if you take their bogus assessments seriously. And I will, when nature does.
1. libertarianism isn't about roadwork. That whole argument is the usual leftist red herring. Roads, police, fire...those are the few things we can agree on collectively. If all the govt did was build roads, we'd have the best roads in the world, the budget would be.001% of what it is now, and we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
2. Just because the govt can do some things, doesn't mean it should do all things, or even that it does things well. Socialism is like alcohol - a little can be fun, even beneficial. But in excess...it will kill you.
3. Not all data packets are equal. Video packets have to arrive in time and in order. The surgeon teleoperating on you needs to make sure there's no latency. Only an idiot thinks all the lanes on the highway should move the same speed
4. Koch is #59 on the list of political donors...behind unions, leftwing groups, and Soros cash. Just look at opensecrets.org. people who think dropping Koch's name somehow constitutes evidence of anything other than their own koolaid consumption are simply ignorant.
Those aren't capitalists; those are cronie capitalists protecting their racket by using the power of govt to squash individual freedom to protect their business model. When you have socialism; these are the people who end up in charge.

More after-the-fact blame Bush BS. If what bush did was wrong, Obama abandoning them was 10x worse. And libya, 100x worse.

And no one should persecute "whackjobs" just because they're christian...but that's why you do it, right?

History doesn't repeat itself; it rhymes. And the point of history is you LEARN from it.

...except, in 2012, the independents went for Romney almost 3-to-1. Add that to the long list of other things you don't know.
Then all the more reason to keep govt out of it at all levels.
All of the net neutrality laws strictly define "lawful content". So, there's that to look forward to.

No you're not "pretty certain". Its not even true. Source, please?
