Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

We certainly cannot change it as long as companies and corporations are considered as people with rights.

The Internet is for Porn.

If so that simply shows once again how ignorant Huckabee, all his staff and his supporters are since quite a few of the "good guy" cowboys always wore black like Hoot Gibson and Zoro and Lash Larue.

I asked that during the 1980 election and the folk went and elected one twice.

Weren't Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt governors of New York?

The Internet is for Simulated Erogenous Xones.

Too bad that is simply a falsehood, always has been and always will be. It's a great example though of promoting ignorance.The fact is that when an illegal immigrant buys gas, goes to the store, gets paid a salary, they do pay taxes unless they are working for a criminal. They pay sales tax, gas tax, payroll and social security and unemployment taxes, income taxes ...Funny how that old chestnut keeps getting posted just like it was true or had anything to do with reality.

If they are working and getting paid under the table without paying payroll, social security and income taxes then the employer is a criminal. And not just a criminal but one with no morality at all.WIC really covers almost nothing and in a First or Second World nation would be considered pitiful. But we are not in a First or Second World nation but rather the USofA.Before you start throwing around nonsense labels like "Bleeding Heart Liberal" you might want to know I have been a conservative since Ike's second run just not a fan of the current crop of right wing fascists that claim to be conservatives but would not make a pimple on a true Conservatives ass.

The US Health Care conjob may well give the Pentagon a run for the title.The idea that education and healthcare should be "for profit" enterprises may be the biggest joke out there.

"Bleeding heart" these days seems to mean someone with a conscience so not much of an indictment.Spending money to improve the quality of life whether here or abroad often simply makes sense. Had the US invested just one tenth of what we wasted in the utterly stupid Afghan and Iraqi invasions we might well have avoided creating yet more terrorists.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

There are some comforting things about Donald Trump. He's never declared personal bankruptcy only bankrupted the companies he runs. So even when he takes the US into bankruptcy he will likely do okay and not have to resort to the dole.It would be terrible to have to bail him out too.

Well, John Kasich is another one of the folk working to con the public by taking money from taxes and putting it in the Christian Cult of Ignorance avoidance schools.

Well Ford, Nixon and Ike were conservatives not fascists. And while they were not perfect they did do some worthwhile things.Nixon is a great example.Remember he established the Environmental Protection Agency.He sat down with other Nations we considered enemies and talked to them.He tried to get Universal Health Care and a Guaranteed Minimum Household Income established.He pushed through the EPA and expansion of the Endangered Species Act.Nixon was the President that pushed through indexing Social Security for inflation.He created Supplemental Security Income.He created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, forced funding for the Legacy Parks Program.He pushed through the Philadelphia Plan that forced government contracts to include hiring of minority workers.During his Administration he created the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Office of Minority Business Enterprise and abolished the last of the Gold Standard.He was also the first President to have daily press briefings.Some other incidents during his Administration were pushing through the 55 MPH speed limit to cut gas consumption, putting wage and price controls in place during a recessionary period, and impounded billions of dollars from bills that he considered pork barrel.He also declared we won in Vietnam and allowed our forces to just stop fighting and leave.Ford signed the Helsinki Accords, pardoned Nixon and officially ended US involvement in the Vietnam War and also signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 establishing Special Education nationwide.Ike ended the Korean War, sponsored and signed the Civil Rights Bill of 1957 as well as the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and unlike Reagan or the Bush clan balanced the budget not just once but three times.Yes, Ike and Ford and Nixon and Goldwater and Rockefeller and Theodore Roosevelt were quite different than the Reagan, Bush and Bush midgets that followed.

I forgot to address this question.I don't really fear a terrorist attack; frankly there is absolutely no way any external terrorist group could really threaten the US. To think they could is just a sign of ignorance at best, dishonesty more likely if coming from a politician.But certainly there are things beyond those two minor issues to fear.The continued assault on honesty and science exemplified by the Republican bullshit telling NASA not to continue using its capabilities to monitor conditions on earth.The continued stupidity and dishonesty shown by Republican opposition to Global Warming.The continued rape of American wealth by redirecting Taxes to the Christian Cult of Ignorance.The continued Republican opposition to fetal tissue research.The continued attempts to try to insert Christian Cult of Ignorance brain washing into to Public Schools systems.The continued opposition of the Republicans to a Single Payer health care system in support of the current rape the consumer and screw health care model that has left the US with worse health care than Cuba.Yes, the biggest threat to the US are the current crop of fascists that call themselves Republicans and Conservatives.
