How do you think FH would have reacted to TV and radio personalities like Rush and Hannity and especially Savage, Coulter and Beck?

They remind me of the PKD story Mold of Yancy
Just as LetoII killed the hisorians in GEoD, he would kill those 5 people first.

The idea that free market can maintain itself is a crazy one.

Just as the idea of trickle down economics is another epic failure.

Those 2 things have been the driving force behind this meltdown.
Yes, but too much regulation can be bad too, like forcing lenders to give loands to people who can't really afford them.

He's right Freak, you've got it bass-ackwards. More regulation is what we need! I'm glad you have a president actually talking about that kind of thing, instead of treating citizens like pre-schoolers who don't need to know the big picture.

HAH!

IF it wasn't for the government educated masses he wouldn't be president.

To get his policies through Congress Obama COUNTS ON us being asleep.

The only thing comming out of Obama's mouth are lies. He knows he's not going to be re-elected because he is only going to make the economy worse. His goal is to get as much democratic spending programs passed as possible before we lynch his ass (figuratively).

I thought McCain and Palin were both bad choices, but the lesser of two evils.

Did you support Mr. Romney? Mr. Huckabee?

Who was the best republican choice?

The sitting VP at the time?

I think Huckabee would have been better.

What we need right now is a Ronald Reagan ghola.

I pretty much sick of the whole system right now. Not the system, the corruption politicians bring to it, from both parties.

Now your making a lot of sense to me. I actually liked Mike Huckabee a lot myself, I appreciate his ability to communicate across the party lines.

Dude, you have some fucked up political views! :D

So Obama has already decided he has no chance of being re-elected? So does that mean that he expects his economic programs to fail and the enormous amount of support to completely dry up in the next three to four years? So that means that he knows what he is doing is wrong, but he just wants to do it because its part of his agenda to leave things worse than when he came?

Freak, I understand that you have a right sided view of things, and I support your right to state it. But could you please start making some sense?

Not to overgeneralize here, but personally this kind of inflammatoy, separatist rhetoric is what turned me from a fence rider into a liberal in the last ten years. I dont want to have to regress to personal attacks with the logic of your position. I assume you have a valid one, and Id prefer to hear it, rather than what is wrong wtih the current administration. Especially bullshit like this that has no demonstrable basis in fact.

Do y'all really think spending more is going to get us out of the economic mess we're in? Studying why pigs smell? Save the salt marsh mouse? Has everyone gone mad? He is taxing the hell out of the people that work to feed this country and giving it to bums. If you confiscated all the income of every american who makes over $250,000 we still wouldn't be able to pay for this. And those people pay like 60% of the taxes! About 47% of Americans are tax CONSUMERS, meaning they don't pay and still get money back. Meanwhile the taxes go higher and higher for people who work.

Obama has broken almost all his campaign promises, and it's been what, a month? This is a liberal power grab, nothing more. They are polarizing the country into class warefare and leading us into certain depression.

THIS IS WHAT THE SOCIALISTS WANT!

Failure of the American economic system.

I can't believe y'all don't see this.

Why would you think that socialists want the economy to fail? That's just laughable scare mongering man, it makes no sense. :lol: No body wants to fail, no body wants a depression. Obama and his people are doing what they think is best, you might they they're wrong, and hell, they might be wrong, but this "that's what the evil socialists want" gibberish is really immature. To think that they plan on wrecking everything for fun... suuuurrrre.

It's OK for y'all to spout your conspiracy theories about GW but you don't like it when I expose your messiah, huh?

It doesn't matter, when it all comes crashing down y'all will still blame Bush.

For the love of monkeys what are you TALKING about? I'm fine with you stating that Obama will wreck everything, but you're talking crazy talk with this socialists are evil and they like wrecking economies stuff! Sheesh man, there is no conspiracy to make everything crash, what would be the point of that? I don't blame the situation on Bush, I blame it on deregulation in general. Obama honestly wants to fix things, so does every politician, including Bush - who goes into politics to wreck their own society? Madness.

When have I spouted conspiracy theories by the way? I've been pretty careful to only say things that are more or less commonly accepted as true, this is an american owned and opporated forum and I do have a lot of respect for that.

Freak, I listen to Hannity and the stuff your saying sounds like it comes directly from the guys mouth.

Spending creates a buyer. If private citizens aren't going to buy, the government has to till things smooth out. Spending also creates jobs and lasting things that we all can use like good bridges. So what if we tax the rich...isn't their job to create jobs in the first place? I don't see much of that happening.....in fact they would rather cut jobs to get a bigger bonus! Fuck them. It's the middle class that matter the most.

Why would anyone elect a president that thinks Government is a problem? Don’t you see the paradox here? That’s like me running for head of the KKK. I don’t want a huge ass government either, but I sure want something.

I listen to Neil Bortz in the morning, Hannity and Herman Cain on the way home. What they say makes sense to me.

Lowering their taxes wouldn't encourage spending?

With lower taxes they could hire more people, expand their business, give people raises, etc...

Why steal from our future generations?

I hear people call in every day who own their own business and are packing up and moving overseas because they can't afford to pay the taxes anymore.

My mother's own business of twenty years failed because she couldn't pay the taxes.

I didn't mean you inparticular. But I've listed to everyone bad-mouth Bush for the last eight years, calling him every name in the book.

Sucks, doesn't it?

IF what Obama is doing isn't intentional, he's a bigger idiot than I give him credit for.

Bush earned it. And if Obama earns it, or is earning it right now, then go for it. But the rest of what your sayingabout socialist wanting to make everyone poor is just rediculous. Near-Socialists and near-Capitalists generally want the same things, they just dissagree on methods.
