Meh. Somethingawful copycat. Pointless abuse of random people is so naughties. I suppose a person like this is looking for some kind of award for being "shocking" or "offensive".
Particularly with the US, the President has much less power than most people think (e.g. those worried he will ban guns - he has no power at all to do so).
The President also doesn't have the power to tell an industry to shut down for no reason-- but he's done so three times. When his first offshore drilling moratorium EO had an injunction placed against it, he just submitted another... then another, more restrictive than the first (probably to teach us a lesson for our insolence). When his contempt of the law becomes an impeachable offense, I do not know.
People developing green forms of power generation, better recycling methods and more efficient devices stand to make a fortune selling them to the rest of the world.
Then why are we subsidizing them? So that people like Al Gore and George Soros can get richer?
That's funny, because the cheese-eating surrender monkeys seem to have been successful at this since the 1980s. And I don't notice anything funny about my source of electricity.
I understand your point. Cane and Eve, as sick as is sounds, must have goteen together.
Just because other created people were not mentioned in Genesis does not mean they did not exist. For example, if you asked me who went to a concert, I could tell you "Joe, Tina, and I." Just because I didn't mention the other 5,000 strangers (who are not relevant to us) or that our mutual friend Bob was also there but we didn't know that doesn't mean those people did not attend. Adam and Eve were the first two humans, and they had three offspring-- that's what we know. We can infer that other people existed, because Cain and Seth took wives. Their origin is not explained, but I can theorize that they were also created.
Your rock sucks. Did everyone forget about Nidal Hassan, who shot up Fort Hood? That was pretty successful for him. How about Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed a soldier at a recruiting center? How about all the close calls, like the underwear bomber? Does it have to be another 9/11 for us to consider it a "terrorist attack"? Or are we just waiting for Janet Napolitano to give us the word?

Same here. I can't find any evidence that this delivery was subsidized; in fact, John Jay, the first Chief Justice, recommended to Washington that the post office not even deliver newspapers at all. At the time, even letter delivery was not subsidized in any way-- if you wanted it delivered to your door, this was done for an extra charge that was split between the post office and an independent contractor.
Why is there so much clamor about maintaining a "wall of separation" between church and state, but we're so eager to knock down the flimsy one that exists between the state and the media?
I'm glad you somehow missed what the fish-wrappers and celebrity elites were saying while W was in office, but I remember: 1. Bush planned 9/11 2. Bush lied about WMDs 3. Bush is sending citizens to Gitmo 4. Bush banned fetal stem cell research 5. Bush is turning the USA into a theocracy 6. Bush went AWOL 7. Bush is an idiot 8. Bush is an evil genius 9. Bush got everything handed to him because of his dad's connections 10. Bush stole the 2000 election (and even the 2004 election) 11. Bush is spending us into a huge hole... wait, that one was true.
Don't worry: insurance companies will all have been taken over by the government as "too big to fail" and we'll be under the single-payer system by then. Oh, we'll still have the Indian doctors, but the health care will be "free" so it'll be SO MUCH BETTER.
Declaring war is not a policy decision. The underlying reason for the Iraq War-- enforcement of the UN resolution-- probably qualifies as progressive. Terms like "neocon" make this fuzzier in most minds.
Prohibition was progressive, but decidedly had a negative effect on society.
Wilson segregated the military. Admittedly, the military suffered from limited de facto segregation since the Revolution (although there were always some integrated units), but he made it policy.
The Chinese "Great Leap Forward" was certainly progressive, but resulted in 20 million deaths.
Liberals haven't been classical liberals since FDR co-opted the word in his fireside chats-- and probably even earlier, post-Wilson.
Obviously, being progressive has nothing to do with whether the change is positive or not.
These aren't "Beckian" ideas. I figured most of this stuff out back in high school, but I wasn't wise enough to put it all together with the clarity I have now. I've gone from being a Reagan conservative (the effective Federal raising of the drinking age to 21 proves he wasn't a classical liberal) to a libertarian.

And Goebbels learned how to use propaganda from Woodrow Wilson. Isn't the free exchange of ideas grand?
Look, if he was dropping, he wouldn't bother to send 'NO CARRIER'. He'd just do it!
I'm still pissed off that Fred Flintstone killed all the Brotosauruses with his brontosaurus-burger-eating habits.
Then why are we subsidizing them? So that people like Al Gore and George Soros can get richer?
I'd rather not.

Gee, it's right next door.
This kind of crap is enough to make me want to give up on modern science.

Actually, that hasn't been my experience, Captain Prejudicial Anecdote.
You forgot about the U.S.S. Cole in 2000!
