What's the use in fighting? Because maybe our unborn children's children will live a decent life without it.


She's shooting to get reelected no matter the cost.

It's not like the prisoners from Guantanamo will be released on the streets of Miami or something.

Also, I'd be much more likely to believe a group of residents from the town than Factcheck, she DOES have a bad record with trying to get people fired because she doesn't side with them.

I was not being serious.... hence the pets ect. I was making fun at Mrs. Pelosi's fuzzy math.

You would be correct. Instead of having a bad time and flushing the crap out of the system, they are trying to prop it up and recreate/continue the bubble that got us here in the first place.

What they're doing is pretty much "Hey, we're broke, so let's borrow some money and remodel the kitchen to fix being broke."

Depending on whom you ask, the debt is actually more like 45 trillion.

What gets me is why people believe anything these nitwits have to say. Most of them were elected when this entire mess was happening and they did nothing or even encouraged it. Yet now they have all the answers? Why would anyone believe them?

You're making me wish McCain got elected again. That or someone else that is a plumbing snake to clear all the crap out of the political process. Hey, "Joe the Plumber" is looking to run.

Naw, that wouldn't work. We need someone that knows what "politics as usual" means so that he/she can dissect the process and fix the flaws. At the same time, he/she must not be tainted by the money. I describe a reasonable politician..."it" don't exist.


I Mother Earth's "Lost My America" seems appropriate here.

No surprise there. It pains me to say that. Could Obama be more shortsighted than Bush?

Being in an Al-Qaeda video =/= being in America.

So what they were release? Perhaps it's because there was lack of evidence and were deemed innocent or not a threat?

Perhaps they're only in those videos because they were locked up in a prison in Cuba for a year?

Tortured in a prison in Cuba by the heads of a state that is already your enemy by religion?

Not only that, but you have to remember these captured people ARE likely extremists.

However, if they're extremists with no intention to harm beforehand, they shouldn't be imprisoned.

That's like kicking a bees nest and wondering why you get stung.

Obama's advisor: "No white, male, construction workers."

Hire the most qualified person for the job at the best price? Nah. That'd be silly.

"Extremists with no intention to harm".... Oxymoron?

Sorry just going back to the video that SK-1 posted. Nancy Pelosi should really have proof read her statement, or at least practiced it. she clearly says that 500million people would lose their jobs, Americas population is only 303,824,646 (July 2008 est.). Maybe she meant 500,000?

She could have meant 50 million, 5 million, or 500,000. I think it doesn't matter though because she's clearly pulling numbers out of her arse.

Fine. You want to choose the weapons for the duel? Cause if its me I'll do something stupid like sabers and still make us walk 10 paces apart each. I'd then attempt to throw my saber at you.

He's a puppet

Like bush was

The hidden global elite controls not the governments , but the governments are pretty much corrupted more or less.

The imaginary enemy they "fear" of and "defend" is "terror". Do you still believe in these so called terrorists?

It wasn't the terrorists , but soon they will , cause all people will be "terrorists", not to the people but against the governments.

Next step to global domination and single world government is coming, and that's the North American Union, Canada Usa Mexico all in one. Your, Canadian , and Mexican soverenity all going down, just for lazy improvements offered like no border crossing, less highway tolls,... and other banners you will see on the new highways. Land is being stripped off people living in countryside it's generations there for over 100 years ... plus these highways will have little exit-outs that's another big reason why. > To have people compact in cities thus more under control.

They promise good offers like freedom and security, while the actions they make are violently opposite, furthermore just the patriot act and national security act is enough to see how far you are from being free.

Not to mention concentration camps and martial law ... you fear of something that doesn't exist, you will soon fear your own government , before , you have been falsely supporting it, that's their goal over TV "news", to create a chaos in the people mind, to deceive them , making them more manageable, thus believing in utter lies.

Soon, people will regret making celebrations on this thread.


And I am in this crap already, it's called EU. I am concerned ... you should be too, it's happening right there now
First clues > NAFTA super highway system.

I believe something like the "Illuminati," which you are alluding to here, is impossible. Simply put, most people don't like being told what to do (greed, jealousy, and struggles involving those make it impossible to remain hidden). We are in this mess because idiots are in charge of the assets. You know, all those crappy CEOs and other management that get hired for a job and just party until they are forced to "step down." The corporations have to throw oodles of money at them to prevent getting sued. I think the world, on average, has seen a major decline of leadership in powerful positions. This economic collapse is the result.
