  1. Nothing personal, but there's really no point trying to have a reasonable political discussion on the interweb. Like Justin said, there's really no point bothering even with spelling, never mind sentence structure, grammar and logic. I come here mainly for my own amusement, and you have said you come here to vent.

    In person, it would be a different story. I'm sure we'd still disagree, but basic human decency would keep things more civil and constructive. This is just a digital freak show. ;)

    With this I agree. I have tried to stay away from this forum, cuz I gits agitated. But, as you are, I am passionate about my position. Throw in my abnormal competitive nature and well....

    Just so folks know, Volvotool and I have met, had a beer and a sammich together, I find him to be a very nice man.

    I would hate to not go to a Reins meet, or have you not attend because we dont agree on politics. As a matter of fact, I refrain from these kind of discussions with friends and family, cuz I hatez conflict like that.

    I have 2 very good friends that are teachers, and others that are AFSCME and SEIU members. We are vast friends, and spend much time together. Its too bad things are so fucked up that a common sense solution seems lightyears away.

    By the way, the Debt Commission recommendations are OK with me. They point to austerity and some hardship, but we can handle it to get us on the right track again.

    This personal attack BS we've been engaging in is nonsense. You were correct way back when when you called it insanity.

    The internet has made us less civil, and that is a bad thing for society. Shits fuccked up enough without people tearing each other apart, especially when we really have the same goals and needs.

    Pardon my spelling and grammar. I'm not the best keyboard jockey, and I sometimes use the slang. Blame it on my 2 sons and their texting.

  2. I wonder how the founding fathers felt about positions based on attack, discredit, and demeaning the opponent, instead of arguments based upon facts or position.

    You have exposed yourself again as a juvenile. I write a whole page, with some stuff you can rebut even, and you pick out a nonsensical line and use a sophomoric phraseology.

    Sounds like another Alinsky Rule for Radicals tactic. Chapter 13 I think.

    I told you he was a member of a the teachers union, he cant help himself by correcting internet grammar.

    Your position, your philosophy and your opinions are piled up in the trash heap of history, not too mention a vastly minority in this country. We lean center-right not left of red.. You ignore the obvious, clean your rose colored glasses.

    When your health care bills go up let me know maybe we can compare policies and see which is worse.

    I paid $4.00 for a gallon of milk today. Must be a shortage of dairy cows. No more deflation, its inflation full steam ahead now.

    Its coming, be naive all you want, whistle in the cemetery all you want, this bus is about to hit the wall.

  3. Good job, rep down any one who has an opposing position, like yours is the absolute answer. Losers.

    Torture 'em all day long I say. If it saves one innocent life its worth it (and it did, dont be theoretical). You people need to wake up and face reality. Be nice to 'em all you want, your the first person they'll behead, cuz you have the weakest mind.

    Mistakes made are common, his biggest was starting this bailout bullshit.

    And dont call out the Constitution, you dont have a clue which article or clause deals with torture. I could site the General Welfare clause like they do now to to enact legislation,like health care, and on a good day get approval to torture you.

    And no ones innocent.

  4. Hey, I think the Taliban has a similar chant, just in Arabic! :lol:

    Keep laughing, as ridiculous as some of my posts may seem to you are they arnt jokes.

    Not to draw conclusions, but are you or any of your immediate family teachers, state or municipal employees, you know, union members, maybe?

    Hey you got what you wanted, the whole state of CT remains in the hands of unions and tax and spend progressives.

    Oh, and any one else in CT have there health care premiums increase? MINE WILL 23%!! Thats what happens when the govt gets involved in the marketplace, bad things happen.

    THANKS YOU GUYS! GO FUCK YOURSELVES AND SHOVE OBAMA CARE UP YOUR ASSES!

    BUT PLEASE USE K-Y JELLY TO EASE THE INSERTION, WOULDNT WANT IT TO HURT TOOO BAD!

    Its gonna get worse, way before it gets better. Sorry, but its all happened before. And we refuse to remember history.

    Monthly vent over. Thanks for giving me the space. DO what you will, but I'm not long for this state. Food prices have already gone up, clothing too. And gas/oil. I expect an increase in both sales and income taxes here, to cover the $48 billion dollar debt.

  5. Monetizing debt

    In many countries the government has assigned exclusive power to issue or print its national currency to independently operated central banks. For example, in the USA the independently owned and operated Federal Reserve banks do this.[1] Such governments thereby disavow the overly convenient 'slippery slope' option of paying their bills by printing new currency. They must instead pay with currency already in circulation, or else finance deficits by issuing new bonds, and selling them to the public or to their central bank so as to acquire the necessary money. For the bonds to end up in the central bank it must conduct an open market purchase. This action increases the monetary base through the money creation process. This process of financing government spending is called monetizing the debt.[2] Monetizing debt is thus a two step process where the government issues debt to finance its spending and the central bank purchases the debt from the public. The public is left with an increased supply of base money.

    [edit] Effects on inflation

    When government deficits are financed through this method of debt monetization the outcome is an increase in the monetary base, or the money supply. If a budget deficit persists for a substantial period of time then the monetary base will also increase, shifting the aggregate demand curve to the right leading to a rise in the price level.[3] When governments intentionally do this, they devalue existing stockpiles of wealth of anyone who is holding assets based in that currency. It is in essence a "tax" as the overall value of their assets decrease due to a loss in spending power. This is known as "inflation tax".

    To summarize: a deficit can be the source of sustained inflation only if it is persistent rather than temporary and if the government finances it by creating money (through monetizing the debt), rather than leaving bonds in the hands of the public.[4]

    [edit] Examples

    Monetizing the debt can be used as a component of quantitative easing strategies, which involve the creation of new currency by the central bank, which may be used to purchase government debt, or can be used in other ways.

    However, there can be an insidious effect. As one observer noted:

    When governments reach the point where they are borrowing to pay the interest on their borrowing they are coming dangerously close to running a sovereign Ponzi scheme. Ponzi schemes have a way of ending unhappily. To get out of the Ponzi trap, governments will have to increase tax revenues, or cut spending, or monetize the debt--or most likely do some combination of all three. [5]

    This is being done right now.

    WIKI

  6. I had to read your post.

    I knew youd take the bait.

    Stop with the finance Bshit. Soros, ABA, and corporations have been pouring money into the Dems for decades too.

    Another disingenuous attempt at class warfare.

    Coming from an upper middle class white guy no less.

    You till dont get it.

    oh well, now we get to bail out Cali and New York.

    And lets see, a 45 billion dollar tax break fro GM/UAW? Way to pay your Visa card with your AMEX.

    ANd the fed buying 600 billion in bonds( read debt notes)?

    another trillion in debt, thank boys.

    At least I wont have to look at plastic face Pelosi any more.

    ANd CT is the state of stupid, right behind Cali.

    At least my town voted for conservatives in Hartford, killing the union blowing super majority.

    Thank God for small victories.

    Oh by the way, Ohio totally flipped, 2012 is ours. see ya.

  7. Come senators, congressmen

    Please heed the call

    Don’t stand in the doorway

    Don’t block up the hall

    For he that gets hurt

    Will be he who has stalled

    There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’

    It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

    For the times they are a-changin’

    It drips with irony.

    Of course the rest of the song is about getting old cronies outta the way of the next young guns, ala 60's radicals but i like the refrain here.

  8. A patient like that usually is referred to both neurology and psychiatry after doing a full History, physical, labs (Ca2+, Mg, Phos, Potassium, Sodium) and imaging such as Head Ct's without contrast. Without evaluating the patient first hand, no credible physician could say that she is just faking, although a conversion disorder does come to mind when watching the video.

    You need a turbo charged car, bad. :lol:

  9. Why it gotts tuh be a black thang?

    Dems had control of both houses of congress while Bush was pres. They all voted for the legislation he just signed it. They approved the war spending. NO president acts alone, get your civics straight. Only congress can enact a law. And Barney/Dodd screamed about fairness and lending, demonizing banks if they did not lend to hi risk borrowers. read the Community Reinvestment act, it came to fruition during Clinton admin. You have selectively shorty memory.

    But dont let the facts get in the way of your left wing rants...

    You keep forgetting that little tid bit you leftwingnut.

    I love black people, one of my best friends is black...

  10. So funny.

    #1, this is not a free speech zone its a ChucksaystooFingbadstartyourownwebsiteorgiveme$1,000,000 Zone.

    and B, see #1.

    Futile attempts at Democracy, exercising of free speech rights, petition rights or other acts of civil disobedience will be met with severe ridicule, laughter, and other forms of derision and disdain at the expense of said Futile Attemptor!

  11. HAHAHA.

    This has become comical.

    Now this is funny...

    A California school district has banned... now get this...DICTIONARIES.

    Why? cuz the kids look up 'bad words'...

    OMFG BAD WORDS.

    Another govt attempt to usurp the responsibility of the parent. Followed by diet and food restrictions in schools, Including home bagged lunches!

    Yup, progressives got it figured out all right, eventually we wont have any responsibilities, or the ability to learn from our mistakes, cuz Big Brother will take care of it all.

    Keep voting for social progressives. Its a big winner.

    YOUR TOO STUPID TO KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOOD FOR YOUR CHILDREN!

    Oh yeah, they took swing sets out of a playground, cuz junior got a booboo on his wittle knee.

    Suck it, rub some dirt on it and get back out there and sweat off those Oreos!

    We are raising a generation of kids that can't make decision, or are too soft too deal with hardship and mistakes in judgment. They'll make great leaders.

    You should renew your subscription to the Huntington post and the Daily Kos.

    And just because its obscure doesnt make its wrong or false. Its your job to disprove that its not an issue.

    I'm not going be a name caller any more. I know how I think and I know what my roots and experience is. As do you. Its not civil any more. Its inane/insane. My ammo will not reform your thinking or persuade you to enjoy my enlightenment. I will do whats right for me and mine, as will you.

    The good news is, both my sons can vote, and they made up their own minds(4 votes for Founding Principles!!!). Despite the attempts by their college professors to influence their thought and ideals. Everyday my kid comes home with a tale of bias in the classroom.

    Everyday they challenge them, and everyday they are shut down by the instructor. If their grades reflect this conflict... I'm not sure what to do.

    I love me some liberals...

    So glad I'm writing the check.

  13. so what do people read these days if it's not the New Yorker or Newsweek? The New York Post? The Washington Times?

    I read my local paper, and internet and OMG FOX NEWS.

    cuz when i watch msnbc I puke.

    ANd my life experiences tell me whats right and wrong, I was raised by nonsocialist, hard working, godfearing, self-reliant individuals, not whinny victims of there own slackerness.

    I say again, I will follow the founders, I know what I'm getting, not these userpers of GOds will, the elitists who know better than me, or the smarmy educrats raised in the 60's.

    Keep whining, the tide is changing, your plans of globalization, income redistribution, and social justice are gonna work out just fine... :rolleyes:

  14. Ahhh more insanity...

    We have not been a free Republic for sometime now. Its a ll socialism-lite, no doubt and you, cant argue that it isnt.

    Did you got to DC Saturday? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    What a joke, communists, unions, progressiv/socialists, bussed by their slave masters to DC.

    And they left the place a shit hole. Warter bottles and diapers everywhere. Some environmentalists huh?

    Lets see, 35% of the country independent, 33% Democrats, 33% Republicans. Guess where the Indy's are gonna stand ?

    Who's a Fabian socialist, raise your hand?

  15. Reality!!

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    thanks for the laughs.

    Pelosi- "the Obama middle class tax cuts" HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

    OMG my sides hurt from laughing at your myopic view of politics.

    There is no reality in DC. All those dick head are living on fantasy island, with fantastic pay, benefits, power and insulation from American reality. Keep writing the check and listen for the flushing sound...

    And the peasants carry pitchforks. Mine is getting sharpened right now.

    No, it's just that the right-wingers on this forum (and in the country) live in an intellectual ghetto and aren't used to hearing anything they disagree with. They spend so much time agreeing with people who think exactly like them that they seem genuinely shocked to encounter any difference of opinion.

    WRONG DBAG.

    ive been listening to the left press and news orgs for 35 years, and the mantra is the same.

    and there are no conservatives with any intellect or education? hmmm 50% of the population wants to debate you on that.

    madison- intellectual ghetto?

    jefferson?

    franklin?

    you dont know history.

    they were conservatives.

  16. What violence George?

    Not in NYC. Not protesting the 'community center'.

    Your opinion on FOX is taken with knowledge of your position. Its relative to your goals.

    I keep wondering how they kill every one in ratings...must be millions of misinformed racist gun owners out there.

    Meh, this Tea Partie thing is just a fad...oh wait, I better tell all those establishment politicians that got there asses handed to them this month...

    Its rolling and you cant do a thing about it, so be afraid I guess. The media, establishment pols, and special interests are going berserk right now.

    Your surrounded. Small govt run by 'we the people' not special interests and the establishment, thats what will prevail.

    I'm stoked by the response of America, they had enough and are doing something about it.

  17. WAIt, you want me to organize a union so I can strike for a flex schedule or shorter hours?

    THE STATE OF CT ALREADY DID THAT.

    35 hour work week with the same pay.

    SO im supposed to get a job with a company and then tell him his policies suck and he should change it cuz i have to work OT, or 41 hours, or come in at 6 am? See you on the unemployment line cuz no one will hire that shit.

    Most companies work on a schedule. A has to happen if B is to happen. So what happens if the maker of A is coming in late?

    I have a schedule of appointments, I need to be a certain places at specific times to do a specific task. Its not practical or good biz. Uniformity promotes fairness, productivity, and predictable results.

    By the way when you go up to your boss and ask for all this stuff this week, let me know so I can send my unemployed friends up to interview for your job.

    Its an employers market last I checked.
