hasn't been a successful attack because the people perpetrating them are fucking idiots...if that Times Square bomber knew anything about basic electronics he could have made a functioning device, it's freaking easy if you didn't take the short bus to school.
sept 11th. 3k dead, another 6k injured. fucking idiots? you think these guys haven't tried elaborate plans since? ever since september 11th the only guys Al Qaeda can find to try again have have been morons who can't tie their own shoes? sorry dude, on this you are just wrong. plain and simple.
arguing that we should cut funding to intelligence agencies, or the military because terrorism is going to happen anyways is about as asinine a statement as I have ever heard in my life.
i want my tax dollars spent less on government social programs. I want my tax dollars spent on the things I can't fund on my own. I regularly donate to social programs I believe in. I feel my money is much better spent on can food drives and volunteering at the shelter for instance than a ruinous federal healthcare plan. I can't fund the military or better roads without taxes. thats something the government has a responsibility for.
you can't seriously believe that any politician (dem or repub) is really out to truly help anyone but themselves first, do you?
As long as they get theirs, and make it "look like" they're doing just enough for "the people" to get re-elected, they don't really give a shit about anyone else.
Please. I know you're smart. This is plainly obvious.
the results of their failed attempts show that you are wrong...me and my buddies built remote control devices to launch our model rockets remotely using off the shelf R/C components and syncro servo systems back in the 80's when we were in middle school...
Bush was warned that an attack was coming using commercial aircraft, a lot of good that intelligence did..
and who said anything about cutting funds for intelligence, I know I didn't...we have already perfected the art of killing the human with small arms and various munitions, I think we can tone it down for maybe a couple of years and direct those monies towards things that actually make life better vs taking it.

We really should start by looking back at the Democrat President, the "beloved", Franklin D. Roosevelt. Just a few days after he was inaugurated on March 4, 1933, he shut down all the banks (called it a bank holiday). Of course this was helpful in ending the bank runs with the formation of what became known as the FDIC. Then, 5 days into officeFDR forced throughCongress theEmergency Banking Act (bill H.R. 1491), with severely limited debate and no roll call taken before vote. It was (forcibly) passed within a single day. This "Emergency Banking Act" gave the POTUS authority to shut down banks (retroactively) and a new authority to "regulate" all banks during "time of war" or a "declared national emergency". It also gave gov't authorization to make illegal the private ownership of gold, and to forcibly confiscate privately held gold. Nice huh? Talk about taking away freedoms and liberties!
A little less than a month later, FDR enactedExecutive Order 6102 (The Gold Confiscation Act of 1933), "forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates". In this act he; declared a national emergency, made ownership of any gold worth more than $100 illegal, forced U.S. citizens to hand over any gold owned by them to the Treasury, in exchange for $20.67 per troy ounce (Gold Reserve Act), and made it so anyone found in violation of the order could be punished by a fine up to $10,000 ($167,700 if adjusted for inflation as of 2010) or up to ten years in prison, or both.
Now that gold was confiscated from the people and made illegal to own, those gov't crooks raised the value of gold to $35 an ounce from $20.67, overnight. This effectively lowered the value of the dollar and increased the international price of gold (that Americans could no longer legally own) by almost 70%, essentially stealing money from American citizens during a depression. [Who said dems are all about helping the people? lol!]
Nixon inherited a costly Vietnam War from Eisenhower when he took office in 1969. This and domestic spending were fueling inflation and foreign markets capitalizing on the value of the dollar against other markets, caused the gold coverage of the dollar to shrink and peopel to lose faith in the ability of the US gov't to pay it's fuckin bills.
What to do? Print more money of course! This further devalued the dollar (duh). So some other countries holding USD called on the US's promise to pay their notes, and demanded gold for their paper. The US gold reserves were taking huge hits, so NIXON (and his advisors), overnight, ended the convertibility of USD to gold (following suit of Germany and Switzerland with their currencies), thereby rescuing America from other foreign fucks trying to gouge our gold. It was the best thing to do at the time, or America would have been broke and fucked.
Keep in mind the people still couldn't legally own gold...until 1974 when Gerald Ford (not a democrat) signed a bill repealing the limited ownership of gold and legalizing the private ownership of gold again.
God, I feel like Will Ferrell on Old School after he answered that debate question against James Carville. LOL! Sorry this got so long. I'm done.

and there were no terrorists attacks from foreign nationals, etc. from 1775 to 1993 that proves nothing...
1st great post!
and yes Nixon did we he had to so we wouldn't have to pay off those debts from Vietnam but we obviously didn't learn from that because we are still doing the same shit today...the problem is that when the government started to spend and borrow like the poor so did the rest of middle america. Sociological study shows us time and time again that people will do wrong even if they know they are doing wrong if everyone else is "doing it".
Thanks!
And of course the people are stupid...look who we consistently elect and hope will do right by us in public offices. It's always an attempt to choose the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately it's very hard to tell which will be the lesser, and the lesser is still an evil mother fucker out to screw the people and line their own pockets.
Either way, we're fucked.
My friend had no insurance when he got hit by a bus on a motorcycle. His leg got snapped so hard the bone was sticking out of his calf....Luckily he won a lawsuit for $150,000, but had to pay $100,000+ for his medical bills....had he been struck by some broke ass motherfucker he would have been fucked....
no reaganawesome, does that mean everything will be back to the greatness we had when the Bush administration was in office?

Damnit. Geared God beat me to it.
no reagan
I preferred Reagan to the alternatives. He had his positives.
But the reminiscing about Reagan is not realistic. The 80s were a vastly different era for at least a couple reasons.
1. demographics: the baby boomer were just hitting the age of 40, then. They were active, working, and healthier.
2. the Cold War was ongoing. USSR, Eastern Europe, other parts of the globe. Threat exaggerated or not, it was a different international world.
3. There were more blue collar jobs, even though they were leaving for overseas, and there were white collar and other jobs available for the mass public, to do the "buy a house" etc.
Reagan was very charismatic. Avuncular. Charming.
But during his tenure is when the US started to:
Create economic growth and expansion based leveraging (borrowing). Individuals and families borrowed more, and Reagan's administration ran the National Debt up to unprecedented levels, to $4Trillion.
The 80s, 90s, and 2000s, all presented the Illusion of Prosperity.
That era is now over.
^ Where did she go? The did not even run for re-election.
Get outta here, troll. F*cking Retard.

speaking about the topic of greed...I was talking to one of my buddies from PA who is married to a woman named Jennifer Horan, her sister is Monica Horan was on the show Everybody Loves Raymond. he and his wife have a couple of special needs children, but 5 of then total in the house. they are currently on food stamps, Medicare, etc. while her sister and husband are in Hollywood with a net worth of about 800million. nice family hugh..

The Dem masters would be proud of you. You have been successfully brainwashed into thinking that they are looking out for the little guy and they are going to bring you jobs and prosperity. Seriously, other than believing in the liberal ideology, what good reason could you possibly think of to vote the dems back into power?
Other than convincing poor people and minorities that they can't make in in this country without the dem party to take care of them, what exactly have the dems done for poor people and minorities over the last 40 years? Do we have less people in poverty now than we did 40-50 years ago? Of course not. They actually benefit from a perpetually poor, uneducated, and disenfranchised class by capitalizing on their frustration as leverage every election cycle. They figured out in the 1960s that, in addition to the playing up class warfare & wealth envy, they could also use the race card to guarantee the black vote everytime.
This is exactly why liberals become so hateful and venomous when they encounter prominent blacks or females who are conservative leaning. It's a threat to their cause. "How dare they run away from the plantation and betray us!"
Do you honestly believe that the Republican party is the party backing social programs and progressive thinking towards minorities and the poor? Talk about being brainwashed. Or maybe just clueless. Maybe you should run for office. You sound like a great running mate for Sarah Palin.
