So far no one has been able to disprove anything she says. Behar was pitiful as she tried to debunk Orly. Stewart was just as bad. None of the 'pundits' has even so much as challenged her facts. They just wave their hands and say she's nuts. Probably more of a comment on the lack of intellect by our 'media' than support for Orly's theories. Still.....
It's a good thing God is on our side. Imagine how bad we'd feel for killing all those innocent people if he weren't?
It's a smell and it's coming from DC. Congress is so removed from the real world they may as well be on a different planet. It's past time to deny congress their health care, free meals and all other perks of office. Let them play the free market shuffle like the rest of us. BTW, it's really too late for this country. Thirty years of Republican policies have done what Germany and Japan could not. They have destroyed America. I'm sure they're pleased as punch.
We invade and occupy for one reason and one reason only: profit. That's why we moved the show to Iraq: profit. Now we're going to produce even more profit when Obama sends 20K more soldiers. The MIC is loving Obama as are the banks, Wall St. and the Insurance companies. Thousands of people die every day so that Corporate America can make a profit. What's a few thousand soldiers? After all, they volunteered. Vote to keep profit above people, vote for Joe Barton.
I guess this is the role Obama had in mind for Holy Joe from the beginning. Ah well, the debate was amusing even if we all go bankrupt paying for prescriptions. Kucinich 2012.
OIL. Your sons and daughters are being sent back for 3rd, 4th, and 5th tours of duty, some against their will, to defend the oil fields in case Iraq decides to nationalize them again. When the oil wars start, our country needs troops to grab and hold those fields so we can have cheap gas. Remember that the next time you fill up.
And even if someone did care, there is nothing anyone can do to unseat an entire congress and presidency of war criminals. These are the same people who signed off on crushing childrens testicles, torturing to death, torturing to mental breakdown and torturing for lies. They don't give a rat's fat ass about someone else's unemployment or healthcare. Thankfully, America is declining faster and faster. Hopefully, soon, we won't be able to afford to murder the populations of oil producing countries. This country's collapse cannot come soon enough.
I thought this country could get no lower than when GWB was president. I was wrong. Now that we know that it is not Republicans who are above the law, but all politicians, all military, and all law enforcement, well, it makes me want to move to Canada. Seriously. Once the teabaggers begin to shoot minorities on the street with no consequences, and the president declares martial law and calls Blackwater into the fight, we'll all wish we had moved to Canada. This country is soooooo over. Sad.
But why even take care of useless humans at all? If they don't have a job then why not just let them die? And even if they do have a job, some one else who is healthy can do it. I just don't see the upside of caring for humans if they do not contribute to corporate profits directly. I predict feudalism. 1/2 of 1% of the population will be catered to by the other 99.95. We will all be waiters, cooks, janitors, and cab drivers. What a glorious future awaits.
We seem to show more concern for the dead and unborn than we do for the living. If we treated the remains of soldiers as we treat living soldiers, we would just bulldoze those remains into a big pit and cover it with dirt. Sending sons and daughters to be killed for political gain is beyond criminal. But that is exactly what Obama is ready to do. I guess he, like his mentor George W. Bush, just loves being a 'War President' to much to give it up. Sickening.
Sex offenders are damaged. They are mentally ill. They can no more stop their behavior than you and I can stop being repulsed by it. It is a malfunction in their brains. Maybe a chemical imbalance. Whatever the cause though, children must be protected. How? I don't know. Until science isolates the cause, we will just have to do the best we can. We must all look out for the children. We must all look out for each other.
So you still believe that Barak Obama wants a health care plan that is fair and will cover all Americans? While he and his pet Rahm have been doing everything in their power to kill it? Come back to reality. Obama wants a bill that changes nothing. He has been bought by Pharma. The back room deals prove it. I no longer support Obama or any of his policies. He is a liar and cannot be trusted. Kucinich 2012.
We the people, don't care if it's true or not. That's why we watch Fox. We want news that validates our teams point of view. If the facts don't match our views, screw the facts. We want our perceptions to be the facts. Again, that's why we watch Fox. The American media is in it for the money. Ratings mean money. Sensationalism leads to ratings. So what if a few 'errors' in the reporting happen? We get the reenforcement we need and Fox gets the ratings it needs. Win-win. Move on.
The man was bullied. Called names. Ridiculed. And not one officer in the army came to his defense. We are a barbaric country that encourages barbaric behavior. And we will never change. America will go down shooting but go down it must.
