hilarious, especially the one that they put in the front sidewalk crack and told me to put a welcome mat over it. HAVE SOME FCN pride. I would imagine the unions oversee these cry babies, funny, the guys whine and cry the most are usually the stronger members in the union......why is that?




You must do not know what the private sector does for the economy, wall street, and citizens of America.Gives small business and works with the citizens. Screw the unions, because that has been the problem, taxpayers are tired of state and goverment regulations and have to pay somebody 40.00 a hr to screw in a light bulb. Or 200.00 a hour too screw a screw in. F the union!! That is what bankrupted GM, and many, many others. Private sector gives you the right to work, and employ most of Amercia.

Wow buddy, do you ever have that bacerds. Try 200,000.00 when noone wants dollars...which is...like now! Why do you think gold is way up? And not just up...it's waaayyy up; uncommonly so and possibly a sign? A sign noone wants to read?

Ever hear of these?

From Berkshares.org-

What are BerkShares?
BerkShares are a local currency for the Berkshire region of Massachusetts. Dubbed a "great economic experiment" by the New York Times, BerkShares are a tool for community empowerment, enabling merchants and consumers to plant the seeds for an alternative economic future for their communities. Launched in the fall of 2006, BerkShares had a robust initiation, with over one million BerkShares having been circulated in the first nine months and over 2.7 million to date. Currently, more than four hundred businesses have signed up to accept the currency. Five different banks have partnered with BerkShares, with a total of thirteen branch offices now serving as exchange stations. For BerkShares, this is only the beginning. Future plans could involve BerkShares checking accounts, electronic transfer of funds, ATM machines, and even a loan program to facilitate the creation of new, local businesses manufacturing more of the goods that are used locally.

if you take an ounce of gold and put it away, chances are it will be worth more when you pull it out of your safe a year later, lately if you put a hundered dollar bill in there and pull it out it will trade for less of what it wouldve a year earlier, unlike gold or any precious metal, the reason gold is spiking is because it takes more of these hundred dollar bills to trade for it....golds up, the dollar is devalued....currency is a means of trade, thats it.

You got that right David. Pushed the speech back one day, and used "hidden" words that make him sound again of "stimulus" and raise taxes again. This guy approval rating has just creeped un 30%%. After next week, he and the demmy's have close lined themselves. It will not even be a race. Can you believe it?? Spend more money, and raise taxes. Keeps putting his foot in his mouth, and on the private sector. He is an idiot David.


You said it right here.

Phil I need to see a qoute on this, I have not heard any candidate suggesting that this is how they would handle problems. This seems to be your own bias making assumptions, and it hurts your credability. Solomon did not pray for God to solve his problems, he prayed for wisdom so he could effectively handle them himself. By your suggestions only athiest could be in politics (like there are not a few biases in that group). Would that be a representative democracy when 78% of the population believe in God? Why are you so against diversity? The separation of church and state was designed to keep the government from dictating a religion, not to eliminate religion from government. You have previously state you cannot say there is not a God, but by your statements you dont seem to hedge your bets on his existance (other than stating the building blocks of life where created .
Have you ever read the book of kings. When the Jews followed God they prospered, when they worshipped the idols of their neighbors they were conquered and carried away. After the tird or more time you read about this happening you start to cringe and think "Why can't they learn from history?" This country was founded with a stong religious background and prospered. Jesus advocated leaders be servants. I think that is exactly what we need.


You ask to see a quote, because you have not heard this. But then you try and tell me that it hurts my credibility and that it's me being bias. It seems that you should hold the bias and credibility judgements until I at least get a chance to respond and prove you ill-informed. Unlike most of you here, I don't talk out my a$$, I'm not an idealist, and I'm not committed to any one party.

"Texas Gov. Rick Perry asked Christians to turn to God for answers to the nation's troubles as he held court Saturday over a national prayer rally attended by thousands of evangelical conservatives, an important constituency should the Republican seek the GOP presidential nomination."

more:http://www.mlive.com/news/us-world/index.ssf/2011/08/perry_turn_to_god_for_answers.html


"We see discord at home, fear in the marketplace, anger in the halls of government and as a nation we have forgotten who made us, protects us, blesses us. For that, we cry out for your forgiveness."

Perry, who was raised a Methodist, called on God to impart "wisdom" on the U.S. president — without naming Obama — and prayed that God would "inspire" the nation's leaders, pastors, generals, and parents in "difficult times."

Let's not get into this silly debate about your guys imaginary friend. We've been there more than once... You side with wishful thinking, I side with emperical scientific evidence. End of story.

To each his own Phil, I for one would like to see more wisdom from our leaders from whatever source it might originate, God knows they can use it. For those that believe, praying for wisdom for our leaders is not a bad thing and certainly does no harm to anyone else, it is also a completely different concept than stating a politician believes they can pray away all our problems. Obama believes he can spend away all our problems which is completely false but you support him. I still would like to know why you invest so much negative energy into something you do not believe exists. If it is nothing it should not mater. It takes something very real to get me that angry.

Don't make it sound like I'm a hard core backer of Obama because I'm not. I am not very fond of this president. I think he has bent over backwards for the conservatives. But that is a pointless argument here because you will just turn around and tell me how much of a liberal socialist he is. People have different philosophies and no matter what you tell or show them they will not change their views. If someone has that mentality what's the point of even having a discussion?

And why do I "invest in so much negative energy...." It's because the impact it has. If you people would keep it out of the public sector then I would not have to voice my concerns. When we have people running for public office who think Praying can have a real impact I think we should all be concerned. But what I'm most concerned about is our scientific illiterate population. You guys only care about science when it fits your views, your ideals, your opinions. Perfect example global warming, if you don't "believe" in global warming your a science denier. Scientific consensus about man-made global warming which includes 97 percent to 98 percent of researchers in the field, according to the National Academy of Sciences is getting stronger, not weaker, as the evidence for climate change just keeps mounting. But Mr. Perry suggests that those scientists are just in it for the money. Thousands of scientists all around the WORLD are in it for the money! Yeah right!So I agree with Huntsman when he says the GOP is becoming the party of science deniers. Actually, becoming? It's been the anti-science party for a long time!

Then keep it out of public policy. If you guys did, you would never hear from us. And yes, it is very different. It only means I don't believe in your deities. That is it. I don't think you should be punished for it, nor do I think anything bad should happen to those that believe. I have no real hatred for people like you I only wish they would keep it to themselves and out of public policy! Very different.

You are ignorant to the Treaty of Tripoli.

Treaty of Tripoli. In Article 11, it states:

    "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

The country was not founded on Christianity and it certainly should not be used in policy making. Like I said, please stop your misinformation.

Dave,

Thats the liberal agenda. They have been wanting seperate church and state for a long time. Remember, when there fav president(Obama) tried to push through congress and uplift "IN GOD WE TRUST" from the currency we have in America. The liberal mind is ***************g weird Dave. Why do you think he and the wierd liberals you are discussing with are bashing the right, thinking that is what we do is pray pray pray. That is all they can come up with.

It was written that way, we the people our christians, and they are not. They are probally athesist!! God help there souls!!

You are ignorant to the Treaty of Tripoli.

Treaty of Tripoli. In Article 11, it states:

    "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countriesThe country was not founded on Christianity and it certainly should not be used in policy making. Like I said, please stop your misinformation.


You are correct we are founded on the principle of religious freedom and do not dictate a religion and are free to practice without prejudeice, But we were founded by primarily christians and the declaration of independance does say this, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" They certainly were not trying to keep faith out of government. Of course it may be wrong of me to look at the founding documents, rather than an obscure treaty, when looking at the founders intentions.

Perfect example global warming, if you don't "believe" in global warming your a science denier. Scientific consensus about man-made global warming which includes 97 percent to 98 percent of researchers in the field, according to the National Academy of Sciences is getting stronger, not weaker, as the evidence for climate change just keeps mounting.


I will put my faith in my maker, you can put yours in the guys that gave us this!
