    From what you say.

    Everyone goes to those rallies. You even go evidently! The overwhelming tea party supporters are middle class and pissed off at being taxed to death. I don't deny that racism exists or even that some tea party members are racist. If you call standing up against unreasonable taxation and outrageous spending treason then I guess they're treasonous. I don't see where opposing socialism is treason. The only power the tea party has is the vote. I think this is what is scaring so many people, the middle class has about had enough of deficit spending in Washington and is starting to organize.

    There you go, trying to use facts and reason in an argument. That's just totally unfair.

    The US Constitution? Nobody pays attention to that old thing anymore. You must be Ron Paul.

    To the President's credit he never does this. While I disagree with President Obama's politics and honestly think he lacked the experience for the office I find myself more and more coming to like him on a personal level. I think if he had better advisers that maybe his presidency wouldn't be in the hole it's in. A lot of his supporters are from the lunatic fringe. I think that President Obama is discovering very late that a President must govern from the center. President Clinton learned this and had great success but President G.W. Bush failed to learn this and was largely, I feel, a failure. Unfortunately both parties are run by extremists and it makes compromise difficult.

    He's probably still pissed off that the USSR lost the cold war.

    Oh bullshit. Just because people object to being taxed into oblivion they are treasonous? Fuck you dickhead. I don't care what color the President is. Do you honestly think people would be happier with Joe Biden? Hell, even the KKK prefer Obama to that drooling idiot Joe Biden. I don't give a shit what color the asshole is taking my money, I just want him to stop.

    Exactly! Clinton actually compromised with congress and he managed to balance the budget. I think he was the most surprised of the bunch when it happened. Of all things I would never in my life have expected a Democrat to actually cut spending and balance the budget. It would have made him a hero as one of the greatest presidents in history if he hadn't had tried to fuck everything that had a skirt. Still the last two clowns we've had have made me dream nostalgically of the good ole days of Slick Willie.

    The next war will be in space. He who controls orbit controls the planet. With control of orbital communications and weapons in support of ground troops it will be impossible to resist. We waste too much money building weapons to fight the last war. On to the next one.

    There should be criminal charges here. Tracking a vehicle 24/7 is stalking. If I did this to someone's vehicle you can bet they'd throw me in jail. Just because he was an employee doesn't make it legal.

    They are notorious for something breaking on them under heavy use. For home use they're okay as they only occasionally get called into service but for any serious work you need a professional solution and that will cost a lot more than $100. I don't doubt your word about the 4 year life cycle yours has enjoyed but that is the exception not the rule.

    They're too big to go down quick but every move is as stupid as their last ignorant move. I don't understand how they got so damn big without any clue at all. This is just what they needed, a DHS guy. He'll fuck with their legitimate customers and piss them off while the guys he's supposedly going to stop from running through Sony's systems just laugh at him. I wonder if Sony will ever wake up.
