Ron Paul is a Libertarian running on the Republican ticket. He is not part of the beltway gang and was voted the 4th most bipartisan member of congress (with AIPAC Girl Nancy Pelosi ranking dead last, the most partisan member of the Capital hill gang).
Nice try though. If you watched that piss poor debate last Sunday you could have seen him pound the neocons into the ground on their own stage during the brief time they alloted him (esp Cheney, his role, and his secrecy). It was worth watching.
Paul stated his reasons for running as a Republican on The Daily Show, so everyone here should have seen it. He realizes that the only way he can get his message heard is to get into the big debates, and the only way into the big debates is to play ball with the two party system. It seems to be paying off pretty well for him.
Expect Paul to wage an insurgency during the primaries, his campaign's primary focus. At the least he will have a strong % all the way through which he can use to help bolster an antiwar, anti-establishment, 3rd party ticket. Who knows, maybe the ticket will be transpartisan, with the promise of a transpartisan cabinet. That would be a good thing.
Global warming has definitely not entered their consciousness
Or maybe it has sunk in? Maybe they don't care about the propaganda the Rothschild family puts out and/or don't care about what the House of Rothschild has to say about the environment?
The banking cabal's public face for global warming, David Mayer de Rothschild, thought that Jupiter and Saturn are closer to the Sun then the Earth, which explained why Jupiter and Saturn are heating up faster than Earth is. It's true, it's true. Forgive me if ignorant comments by a Rothschild regarding global warming set off alarm bells, seeing as how it is their big pet project.
Just wait until they start keeping up with the megarich (like international banking family rich) genetic engineering, designer baby crowd.
Want a baby that will never get sick? They say that it is possible to engineer one. But don't expect your grandkids to have the same luxury unless your uber-child has children with another designer uber-child, because breeding with commoners will taint the new designer DNA and cause the grandchild to be prone to illness. And hence the new superclass is born consisting of super-rich genetically engineered super-freaks that will never get sick.
The future is now.
Want to know what to do? Just ask Ron Paul supporters.
Is that a picture of Hillary closing her eyes as she takes money from the same power brokers that put the Bush gang into office? She should be OK, as long as she leaves her ears open (like in the pic) so that the Establishment can give her marching orders.
See no evil.
Maybe they will take it to the next level and live blog their breast feeding. That way people who are grossed out about breast feeding in public can be grossed out about it online as well. Oh well, w/e makes the women feel confident and gives them an excuse to flash their nips in public without men throwing cheap plastic beads at them can be considered progress I guess.
Someone explain.
This is the problem. People mock and ridicule what they don't understand, labeling it as "geeky" because they fail at it.
It will take more than shopping malls and puppy dogs to change society's perception of mathematics. Something like, I don't know, Americans getting off of their lazy asses and learning math so that they can effectively help teach their kids and keep up on their education instead of ridiculing it because it is was too much for them to wrap their little brains around when they were young. I imagine most dads were too busy fingering up little Sally Rottencrotch behind the bleachers when they were young instead of studying.
Didn't ya know? Pelosi said that Impeachment is off the table and AIPAC is OK with that. Sorry gang, maybe next time. Prime up those tactical nukes, boys, I'll see you in Tehran!
Complex 2030 here we Come!
If she really wants to help kids learn math maybe she should look into doing it the old fashioned way, through physics, or a more modern way, through computers (and video games). Or maybe she should write a book teaching these kids parents that math is not gross and to encourage their kids in it instead of praising deviate behavior (e.g. "math is for geeks") and showering them with slutty clothes and accessories from the mall.
I guess she is trying to get girls that would normally be into shopping malls and pink frills into math? Hmmm, methinks that if the child is superficial to the point that it requires materialistic fluff to get them involved, then they lack the innate curiosity and drive regarding natural phenomena to pursue it seriously. Without that drive I fail to see how to keep them interested long term (or how they will stay interested), when they are through talking about the shopping mall and are dealing with abstract notions like ring theory.
Perhaps maybe the problem is not with girls not liking math but with their parents raising them to be superficial, materialistic little bratz who feel that paying attention to "geeky" subjects like math (or any subjects for that matter) is beneath them. It should come as no surprise that the parents attitude towards mathematics is similar (i.e. "ew, math").
Perhaps it is not the the girls that need to realize that math is "cool", but their families and society as a whole for that matter. Telling people you have a degree in math is met 9 times out of ten with, "ew, math" from adults and children alike.
