Why do the military people tell me to hush up?

Sorry, it doesn’t quite work that way. One of the reasons we live here is the RIGHT to dissent….to criticize our government and (hopefully) shift the direction in which it moves. Just like you right-winger neo-fascists. You’ve done alright for yourselves, since ’84. Now we see the end result of all that small minded hate, greed and bigotry — war without end and looming fiscal calamity for our future.
Rome and Germany – two other once great empires, were republics too. Then they started down the slippery slope of authoritarianism and fascism. No republic ever survives this. The complete take over of government by the corporate elites. War as a business.
One day you goose-stepping goobers will be on par with the brownshirts or the MCarthyites. How we bankrupted all our children’s futures in the quest for oil. Too bad. If we were so truly great we would SOLVE our energy problems and get out of the middle east.
Bush is going to go down as one of the worst presidents of all time. An embarassment people like you will no longer care to admit that you once supported. Right after this maloderous gang is given the door — history will not be kind. (If they give up the power easily in ’08′. We’ll see).

We’re going to stay right here and do what we can to save this country from people like you. You leave. Be a part of the solution instead of the problem.

Why is it republicans think Universal Health care is wrong?

http://blogs.forbes.com/rickungar/2011/01/17/congress-passes-socialized-medicine-and-mandates-health-insurance-in-1798/

Besides the fact that their only argument seems to be "im to greedy to allow any of my money to be taxed to help a less fortunate person afford to LIVE". there doesn’t seem to be any other reason beyond GREED, Selfishness, Hatred of anyone who needs help financially, and GREED.
Here’s an article about how even the FOUNDING FATHERs know that socialized health-care was the only ETHICAL and moral choice out there:

So Republicans? Why do you hate the idea of every one having health-care? Why do you hate the idea of having to help the less fortunate? Aren’t republicans all big about being Christian? yet you hate the poor…

I want to know DO YOU HAVE ANY REASON beyond greed and ignorance that free market health care ONLY benefits the super wealthy, for opposing socialized/universal health care?

Id be willing to bet you don’t. Save your breath if your going to rant about how wrong it is you should part with your money to help some one NOT have to go bankrupt to pay a medical bill…or how all the poor MUST be lazy and should just die…i have already heard those "arguments’…anything new?

PS: Obviously i am biased infavor of universal healthcare, but i REALLY am Curious, if Republicans have any reason beyond GREED, and blind faith inunlimited free market FAILED economics, to deny (make perpetually unaffordable)health care to millions of americans??? I have never heard an argument not based on "how dare others expect me to help others"
Try reading the LINK if nothing ealse, though i realize READING is a bit too difficult for some of the people who oppose universal health care…

Why is it Important for the government to bail out big business?

This may just be ignorance however I do not understand it. I just read a question by a top contributor of these questions complaining that he doesn’t understand why the government won’t provide funds for auto companies in order to bail them out of their possible bankruptcy. The thought of providing these businesses with tax dollars from the American public is insane. In my opinion the auto companies have no one to blame but their own greed and the way they decided to go with their business, the government would not bail out a business that the average American built and used every dime of their personal money to invest into the business, while CEO’s of the auto companies STILL are taking in millions of dollars a year and expecting the government (moreover the American people) to basically paying their salaries, when it was the direction they took in their company to blame for the problem they are in now. With exponential growth especially in business comes exponential decline and they should have taken precautions to prevent this from happening. Aside from their bad business decisions these are the same businesses that closed down factories in the United States, which were employing thousands of American workers, to move to China were labor was cheaper. This brought upon record unemployment rates in Detroit. Who in turn need government assistance to be able to provide for their families because they were screwed over by their employer. I understand that their are people who are a drain on society and are wrongfully collecting welfare but aside from those individuals Welfare helps out people WHO HAVE NOTHING and are asking for the governments help to keep a roof over their head. Another point that needs to be addressed in Auto Makers is the money that they received from big oil to not research alternative fuels, even though the impending Global Warming was a huge issue. Which means in a sense they may have screwed over the Human Race by destroying our planet. I don’t know I may just be venting but isn’t it the ethical for these CEO’s to take a money cut for the benefit of their company instead of asking for the governments help, providing that they never seemed to really truly care of the American public?

Roads???? read this if you think that our tax dollars even go to roads first off……

Second off the whole idea is the current CEO’s of the business still raking in millions from their business, which is failing and asking for government help what happened to darwin and survival of the fittest, does it not pertain to business?

Are you starting to realize the Economy is the issue to dump the Republican Mantra?

It’s a matter of pay now or pay letter. Republicans are all for lower taxes and smaller government except when their greed gets them in financial trouble.

Here is the issue that you are dealing with… Since the Stock Market collapse of 1929 a system of checks and balances was instituted as the economy grew to keep greed in check. However, after Ronald Reagan took office and developed the theory of Trickle Down economics, They began to chip away at several levels of checks and balances. One of the first levels that they attacked were the Unions. Unions offered a level that reported abuses in the labor market. Second was deregulation where they actually removed regulation by allowing business to move off shore where inspection and over sight where non-existent… then they moved to gut the budgets of regulatory agencies that were left, to stop over-site. Usury laws were thrown to the wind and bankruptcy laws were changed to protect the rich. (Look up Usury Laws)

Example: There are only 8 inspectors for all the livestock sold for food in California. Providing 30 percent of all the meat eaten in the United States and exported.

The result is that you have lead painted toys for your children to play with, food is polluted with chemicals and Salmonella and Wall Street Collapses in a heap and your 401K falls through the floor while Oil prices shoot threw the roof because they changed the rules to allow speculation in the Oil market and fought alternative energy. All the while the Republicans keep claiming your taxes are to high and the reason is it’s Ear Marks were causing it which equal less than 1 percent of the US budget .

We need to start thinking smarter and get back to enforcement of good sound banking rules and reduce greed out of the equation. We need over sight at all levels of both government and business. We need to pay those taxes necessary to enforce regulation and stop investing billions in "Wars to No Where". Think where we would have been financially if we had not swallowed "Georges War to No
Where" based on a lie.

Wake up America!!! Obama for President

It may not have been supply & demand after all for high oil prices. Why do speculators have so much influence?

Even OPEC oil cartels are questioning why prices spiked, and I quote:

"the cartel has argued that record rallies earlier this year were driven more by speculation than supply and demand."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081019/ap_on_bi_ge/mideast_opec_s_next_step

Why do all these speculators have so much influence in driving up the price of crude oil? Can’t they be held accountable?

Also, have you noticed that the price of gasoline at the pumps hasn’t come down as quickly with crude prices? GREED and GOUGING at work at the pumps now. I wish I had something they needed so that I could punish them with it……oh wait, I do, it’s called MONEY. Now we need to find a way to move that money away from these money hungry theives……..Alternative fuels!!!!

But then again, all that would happen is that Exxon, Shell, Conoco would just file for bankruptcy and our government would bail them out…..how nice. Wish I had a business that I could run into the ground and then scream default and get helped out. Thanks a lot American Airlines, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG……..
A hug would be nice, as long as you don’t pick my pockets and take my wallet. Oh wait, go ahead and take it…..Exxon, Chevron, Conoco and Shell have been emptying that wallet over the past several years……so its empty. :)
