this holiday is only good when for when your in high school
I'm still trying to figure out why Columbus Day is a National Holiday.
Florida doesnt celebrate it, actually Florida doesn't celebrate MANY holidays like up North................Got these kids in school all day and they still dont pick up anything............SMH
Columbus never even touched N. America but he gets credit for discovering it? What a world................

Yes.... Because when a person bashes liberals it's all good right...... Not even on an educated tip, on some $%+*#@%$ nonsense uneducated nuance position........ So I'm a %%+*++$ for addressing it... But the original nonsense was perfectly fine because it was bashing liberals...
Hypocrite much.........
The right is allowed to bash the liberal day in day out but when a liberal defends themselves and call them out on their $%+*#@%$, they are told they are "right-wing bashing" and keep it civil

We come to a paradox...
The level of the production you would to sustain the Welfare State cannot be sustained by the Welfare State. It is maintained through dissolving living standards, a depleted currency, and never ending borrowing and debt.
Only the Paul Krugmans and Robert Riechs of the world can come up with as much chicanery as those numbers are. The United States is currently $13,000,000,000,000.00 in debt, Social Security is currently running a $110,000,000,000,000.00 in unfunded liabilities. When you are that much in debt, you never run a surplus of anything.

I'm just saying....
I understand the point you are making... And in the grand scheme of things you are right....
But it doesn't run a deficit... It runs a surplus... If I can pay something for 150year before I lose money it is a pretty efficient.
Only thing not efficient is when they take from the trust fund by the billions and then claim the money is not there because the program sucks, when that is not the reality...

Although I think I will use it to address Essential's boiler plate hysteria about the Citizen's United case. No group should be restricted from engaging in free speech (so long as it does not present a direct threat).
The any group or entity should be allowed to buy as much air time as they would like. Campaign finance is nothing more than scheme for incumbents to rig the game in their favor. Incumbents have name recognition, they can get face time on sympathetic media outlets, they can robo call (they exempted themselves from their own "do not call list"), they can take tax payer funded junkets from DC to their districts for Town Hall meetings, they can send out "information" and it is paid for by tax payers and they can "buy" elections by using earmarks and other goodies for the "folks back home," as this recent orgy of Congressional earmarks and "emergency" funding demonstrated. The political elites simply do not like the idea that people could use money to counter their built in advantages.
The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech and rights are rights and should not be suspended simply because the topic happens to be an election or the speech being rendered, about the election, is "too close" to election day. The Bill of Rights applies to more than just homosexuals, suspected terrorists and other mascots of the left.

Wow, a macro, that is your crappy retort. I suppose that Keith and Rachel have not given you a decent response to regurgitate yet.

Speaking of Citizens United, where was the outcry over foreign financial contributions to elections when Bill Clinton sold nuclear military secrets in exchange for campaign cash from the Chinese?

Rex why should I have bothered giving you a completely dignified response?? In the past year and some change, you've gone from a reasonable Libertarian with some, to the town crier, spewing nonsense rhetoric, complaining about a definition of a term that was outdated over 100 years ago... Just like Republicans used to be the big tent party, and the Democrats used to be white Southern Obstructionists... It is no longer that way... And even then your term of liberalism and the term liberal today are not much different... But you are not mature enough to understand what a liberal today actually gives a damn about...Too busy trying to somehow make inroads of comparing liberals with Fascists... But does the "change" of term "liberal" really make you that upset? If it does you are really more nonsensical than imagined...
I'll give you the short hand response, so you can keep up..
As for your authoritarian left comment, that is no different than the same made up conspiracy crap Glenn Beck spews, the "we want to control your soul" "we know best for you" "we want to change America's value" "we want to indoctrinate the children"... I know plenty of liberals, I've mixed up in plenty liberal political circles, we could give a damn less what you do in your own home, and personal life.... Unlike the opposite end of the spectrum where we feel government is necessary is to prevent as much injustice as possible in a largely unjust world, and actually police capitalism because when capitalism runs amok the only one who wins are those with the office high enough to look down on all the little people.. But your synopsis of liberals and economics and capitalism is a paragraph deep of Bold Italic Times New Roman All Caps on 36pt font, saying we want to get rid of economic freedom....
But fyi Corporations =/= Individuals...You like to assert you are a man of history, tell me where the founding fathers would come out on this..Don't even for one second assert they would want this nonsense ruling because you know better than that...... But I love how you group campaign finance as a ploy by incumbents to keep seats... Liberal Democrat Conservative Republican I don't want any of them beholden to any corporation through money corporations funneled to their campaign whether it be Barack Obama, John McCain, George Bush, Bill Clinton, whoever.. But let me just take a walk on the "incumbent ploy" if that was so then Incumbent republicans would be arguing for it too.... wouldn't they??? If you can't see the disaster in allowing corporations (domestic & foreign) with untold sums of money (far more than individual citizens could put up) then your political awareness is slim..

For the record you can't pad your post count with a double post.
It only counts as one.
