Interesting article. How much longer can this go on? The real jobs numbers: 41% of America unemployed, 1 in 3 doesn't want work at all http://rt.com/usa/ne...nt-welfare-749/ It is so simple that a 12 year old Canadian girl gets it...

Something I saw in an interview from a few years back with economist Doug Casey that has stuck with me. Lou, I'll save you the trouble http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Doug_Casey Have fun with the jalapeno cheese cornbread, Wendy... "I'm convinced that most people don't vote for candidates they believe in, but against candidates they fear. But that's not how the guy who wins sees it; the more votes he gets, the more he thinks he's got a mandate to rule – even if all his votes are really just votes against his opponent. Some people justify this, saying it minimizes harm to vote for the lesser of t

Saw them on Paladia a few months back. Liked them a bit. They were on again the last couple of weeks. Looking for some new music I downloaded their recent album., If you like the Allman Brothers, Black Crowes, Lynrrd Skynyrd, etc. you'll like these guys. At the two minute mark this song sounds a lot like Wilco live in the Jay Bennett days... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AisOpLwLoc

Lou, what you feel about Ron Paul and others who you don't agree with on the issues is the same I feel about Obama, Bush, Romney etc. They are crazy mothers IMO. Why do you get so riled up? I'm just providing a different spin on the issues. Like you said, there are many reasons for the problems we have. There are no easy solutions, but doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result is insanity. By participating in the system it gives their policies legitimacy. Like P. J. O'Rourke says, "Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards." So this is my perspective on the politic

Lou, you believe the government is the solution to all our problems. Fine. You will probably never believe otherwise. I get it. However, everything the government touches gets worse or more expensive. How's the war on Poverty Working out? We have more poor people today than any time in our history after spending several trillion dollars. How's the War on Drugs working out? More billions upon billions of our money spent with no solution or end in sight. How did all those bank and corporate bailouts work out? They need to insititute QE3 to infifnity to keep them afloat. The war on terror? Obama

Thanks for ignoring me. You are so concerned about what I post you fail to see your country being destroyed right in front of your eyes. Worry about what Obama, Romney and their corporate controllers are doing and are planning on doing than wasting your time trying to be cute attacking someone who doesn't agree with your narrow mindedness. Spend more time doing some research on the issues that you claim to be of such importance to you and you might actually learn something. It seems no one ever has a challenge about the facts or information provided in the things I post. All you can muster is

From the former head of the CIA's bin Laden Unit. Another expert who doesn't know what he is talking about. Some choice... Pity Poor America: Obama, Romney, and Foreign Policy In the coming debate, Obama will no doubt brag that he killed Osama bin Laden. Well good, about time, well done! But what has he done to stop the spread of militant Islam and its armed forces across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa? This is a presence that now sits directly on sea lanes vital to the United States in the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, and is neari

Here's another guy who doesn't know what he is talking about. Watch it, you might learn something you didn't know before....

Thanks, Candy. He's also one of the nation's leading constitutional experts and someone who exposes those out to destroy our liberties no matter what party they belong to. That's why FOX dropped hid popular Freedom Watch show. Shilling for war...

Who Is Responsible for the Mess in Libya? by Andrew P. Napolitano What's going on here? What's going on here is the unraveling of a value-free foreign policy and its unintended consequences. The whole reason that the streets in Libya are not safe and the country is ruled by roving gangs of militias is because the U.S. bombed the country last year. In an unconstitutional act of war, the president alone ordered the bombing. It destroyed the Libyan military, national and local police, roads, bridges, and private homes. It facilitated the murder of our former ally Col. Gadhafi and en

I guess killing Afghani and Pakistani children is fine to you. Your response is more shocking than the photos.

Wow. Seems like folks can't handle reality. Sorry to offend you but you should be offended with your own president's actions. I suppose the issue of droning people and its' consequences isn't a good topic during a presidential election discussion. My bad. Collateral damage isn't pretty but is it accepted or taboo to discuss because Obama isn't Bush? Back to discussing Paul Ryan's abs I guess. I understand you taking the photo down but you all act as if this isn't happening and shouldn't be an issue. Be disgusted at the actual killing rather than the posting of a photo of the atrocities that a

Oh, you crazy conspiracist... Romney has all the neocons actually, including Bush Sr. His views on war and the military not much different from the current guy, however, despite what liberals want to believe. Just a little more vocal about it. Obama speaks through his actions. Just ask these kids... Admin edit: photo removal. 2:32 p.m.

Do you actually believe that? The cuts are only in the proposed increases not actual cuts if they even do take place. The article speaks for itself. Give Obama another Peace Prize.

Obama’s War Record When Sen. Barack Obama ran for the presidency in 2008 many wishful-thinking Democratic voters viewed him as a peace candidate because he opposed the Iraq war (but voted yes on the war budgets while in the Senate). Some others assumed his foreign/military policy would be along the lines of Presidents George H. W. Bush (whom Obama admires) or Bill Clinton. Some who identified as progressives actually thought his foreign/military policy might tilt to the left. Instead, center rightist that he is, Obama’s foreign/military policy amounted to a virtual continuation of George W

It's been around a few months...

Johnson 95% Well, I might have my man, Lou. But he's no Ron Paul. Goode 82% Who's he? Romney 82% (It probably depends on what position he was taking on the issues at the time the survey was concocted) Obama 56% There must still be a little socialist left in me. The 2012 US Presidential “Non-election”: Which Brand of “Fascism” this Time? No matter who “wins”, humanity loses. On one side, the Obama administration, and the traditional brand of neoliberal imperialism and international consensus, and false domestic populism. On the other side with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, milit

At least you've heard of him. I'm undecided about him. I didn't really pay much attention to him when Ron Paul was still active. But you are probably correct in your assessment.

Toad the Wet Sprocket at Infinity Hall, Norfolk, Ct., Sunday night. Good show by an underrated band.

I think people are kinda nuts to think either Obama or Romney are the answers to our problems. Just passing along things I find interesting. Panther might still be reading this forum.... Don't let my posts get your shorts in a knot. I don't let yours bother me. Thanks for the grammar correction.

Just giving you all something to think about. Take from it what you want or don't want to see. I think it's pretty clear. Whomever wins we all lose. Is that clear enough for you?
