Ah, yes. The only solution liberals every put forward. If we only take away some more money from those who are earning it, and give it to those who are not, then everything will be just peachy. Here's a suggestion: instead of raising taxes, those gaseous windbags in Washington could cut bloody spending! But, what am I saying? That would lessen their power, and we can't have that, now can we? The State is mother. The State is father.
There was a great episode of SG-1 that commented on this. After destroying Apophis' ships, SG-1 was flying in stolen Goa'uld Death Gliders that had been disabled. They couldn't navigate and would soon crash into Earth's atmosphere and burn up. Bra'tak said to O'Neill "Do you not have a fleet of war ships that will come to rescue us?" (or something to that effect). O'Neill pauses, then says "We have... uh... some shuttles..." Of course, in the end it was one of those shuttles that saved them, but it was still funny.
If all 4,000 windows that you end up with whilst using GIMP would raise as a group when you click on the taskbar icon, or click on one of those 4,000 windows, the interface wouldn't be so bad. But the fact that every bloody window is completely independent is a huge pain the in ass, if you ever do something like look at a browser page whilst using GIMP... That's my major complaint aboug the interface. I have no problem with right-clicking.
Does this mean that conservatives are opposed to Jeb Bush's systematic disenfranchising of minority voters in Florida?
Again with this bullshit charge of Florida minorities being "disenfranchised." What is it with you people? There have been numberous investigations and calls for these supposed legions of disenfranchised voters to come forward and you know what the results have been every single time? Not one damned person steps forward. There have been no systematic "disenfranchising" of minorities. It's just a liberal canard that they can't get past.
The war on terror is, in effect, a "cleanup from bygone days" in that for 8 years Bill Clinton spent his time getting blowjobs from chubby interns in the Oval Office instead of protecting the country. So yes, you are correct, in that respect, though I would bet you didn't realize it.
Accept it - this WAR was just for oil and nothing else.
Oh! Stop! Please! You're killing me! That's the funniest thing I've heard in quite a while. Are you really so amazingly stupid to believe that? Or are you just a Democrat myrmidon repeating the talking points you've been fed? If this war was "just for oil" then why the hell am I still paying $1.71 for a bloody gallon of gas? Our gas prices should be down around 0.65 per gallon by now if you're correct.
Is it really that bloody hard to go to the proper voting place to vote? I have to say that if you can't figure out where you're supposed to vote, then you are probably too stupid to vote in the first place.
This is true for ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCETC, with the sole exception being FOXNews, which is why liberals hate it so much. They don't toe the liberal line, and are thus accused of shilling for the right. I suppose anything looks conservative when you look at things from so far on the left...
However, it's equally foolish to believe that these giant companies are innocent, and are only there for our good
It would be moronic to think that a company is there for anyone's good other than its own. The purpose of a company is to provide goods and services that people need and/or want, and to make a profit for its owners or shareholders. Period. It's not to provide jobs or to make people happy. The goal is profit. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
invest the savings into education in the United States
I am so bloody sick of the tired old saying "Let's not do x and invest the savings into education." For crying out loud, we spend more on education in this country than is warranted and what do we have to show for it? Stupid kids who feel really good about themselves because the public schools are more concerned with "self esteem" and "multiculturism" than teaching kids to read and write! We need to spend LESS on education in this country, and more people need to get their kids the hell out of government schools. My son attends a private school; there is no way in hell he will ever see the inside of a government school. And because liberals can't stand for parents to have any sort of control over their children's education, and thus block any attempt at any sort of voucher system, I am paying TWICE for my son's education: once to the failed public schools through property taxes, and again to the school he is actually attending.
There is a process for deciding who actually has the chance in hell of getting more votes. It's called an election.
Indeed. And in the last election the Libertarian candidate got jack shit for votes. I think the Libertarians have already proven themselves to be unelectable.
Let's be very clear: the state should not be excluding legally qualified candidates from any context featuring candidates just because they are not part of the dominant party. That is election fraud, and is exactly what single-party states do. That's how Saddam Hussein got 99% of the Iraqi vote.
"Qualified candidates" should really be translated as something like "any candidates who have a chance in hell of getting more than a handful of votes." When you inject a no-chance candidate into a "debate" all it does it take attention away from the men who have an actual chance of winning. Just like when Alan Keyes started screaming racism a few years ago when WSB in Atlanta barred him from the Republican debate: he didn't have a chance of getting any votes, but he demanded to "be heard." If he had a shot, ok. But he didn't and WSB was right in barring him. If a candidate is just there to "make a statement", that's not a reasonable reason to let him in.
And as for how Hussein "got 99% of the Iraqi vote," he did that by being a bloody dictator who killed anyone who got in his way. The situations are a bit different...
Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about.
Isn't it funny that when there is good news about the climate, "scientists" tells us that we shouldn't "get excited about it," yet when there is apparently bad news, these same scientists demands that we must act "before it's too late."
Of course, how silly of me. I forgot that virtually everything is the fault of evil Republicans...
No, I don't want to know if there is a convicted child molester by me, because I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has reformed himself, and is able to become a useful member of society.
What a mindset that is. Perhaps you'll feel differently when you have children that the wonderful "rehabilitated" predator next door will salivate over...
Though I also feel that we need to seal all crimal records from public view once the person has served there (sic) time.
So you really don't want to know that a convicted child molester has moved in next door? I don't care how "rehabilitated" that person might be, I want to know what they did.
The amount of liberal claptrap on/. is staggering. There are days when I sit stunned at the leftie bullshit that so many people here seem to actually believe. It's quite sad, actually.
Man, that Nixon was one prophetic guy! He "created" John O'Neill specifically to discredit Kerry, in the event he ever decided to run for President? Amazing! I wonder why, if he was so prescient, he couldn't see the impending disaster of Watergate...
Our problem is that he has made his entire campaign about his 4 months in Vietnam. I'd like nothing more than for Kerry to STFU about Vietnam, but he won't. Therefore his service is fair game.
As for Bush and Cheney's records, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that when Clinton (a draft dodger) campaigned against George H. W. Bush (war hero) in 1992 and Bob Dole (war hero) in 1996, YOU were one of those guys saying that it "didn't matter who served and who didn't," right? Probably. Democrats can't see their own hypocrisy on this issue. But hypocrisy can only be pointed out when it's a Republican hypocrite, so what was I thinking?
An idea doesn't belong to a person, nor does it belong to a company... ideas belong to us all; it's society that inspires an idea, it should be scoiety that reaps the benifits!

Do you even know how many Americans have no health insurance?
Just because someone doesn't have health insurance does not mean that they have no health care, though liberals would like you to believe that.
And that supposed 50 million uninsured Americans number includes those who voluntarily have no health insurance.
The war on terror is, in effect, a "cleanup from bygone days" in that for 8 years Bill Clinton spent his time getting blowjobs from chubby interns in the Oval Office instead of protecting the country. So yes, you are correct, in that respect, though I would bet you didn't realize it.

what is true is that SUV are definitely less safe for the other drivers
And it's also true that in a crash any car is less safe against someone riding a bicycle. So should we ban all cars and make people ride bikes?
