  JZS could care the less as long as he gets his and someone else is flipping his bill. People like JZS are leeches on society. If the Progressive Bernard Shaw would have had his way, people like JZS would have been marched into the gas chambers while an orchestra played soothing music in the back ground.

  “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” – Alexis de Tocqueville “Democracy in America”

  Did I forget?
  Here‘s what I don’t get about Beck. He was on Fox. He did show after show talking about America’s enemies.
  
  He called Cass Sunstein the most dangerous man in America. He’s Jewish. Beck called Don Berwick the second most dangerous man in America. He’s Jewish. Andy Stern, SEIU. He’s Jewish. Ron Bloom a Marxist. He’s Jewish. Blankfein, Emanuel, Bersin, Ross, Todd Stern, Rosenthal, Zients, Daniel Fried, Feinberg, Dohrn, Alinsky, Pivin, Bernanke, … Soros… Kagan, Axelrod, Summers… all Jewish.
  
  These were from his chalkboard lectures. All are Jewish. Now, he wants us to see that the Muslims are the problem.
  
  There’s a disconnect.

  JZS:
  Gosh…, I am confused my your comment. Michelle Obama has declared that there is “an epidemic of childhood obesity” and is pressuring school systems to reduce the caloric values of the foods served to children. Perhaps you can explain the obvious contradiction here.
  
  While decent nutrition is important, in the end, the Feds should have no material part in the deal, aside from encouraging good habits, like say, publishing The Food Pyramid.
  
  I am of the opinion that the only way a person could starve to death in the U.S. is by hiding in a cave. I challenge you to find a contrary case, i.e., a case where a known starving person was allowed to expire. Otherwise, please inflate yourself with your own hot air and drift away.

  @JZS…before the food stamp program during the great depression and before, how many people that where in a state of the USA starved to death?? How many people just sat around and said, so sorry, just starve until the government provides you with a meal?? Churches and neighbors have always had each others back in this country. It is other countries leaders that can not and will not see the beauty built into the frame work the US Constitution provides for people to succeed and help others to succeed. People will feed themselves and others if freed from government restraints and not rely on the state to feed them…go back to the former USSR re-education summer camp..

  to JZS – Do you think Americans couldn’t do without your help (I DOUBT you help anyone) and the forced assistance of the American taxpayer? Americans did just fine until DemonicRats discovered they could by votes from their constituents at the expense of their working neighbors.
  
  How’d they get along without LBJ’s “Great Society” 5yrs-to-end-poverty-welfare-plan, that we’re STILL paying for, BEFORE 1965? Do you know what he said about that plan? “I’ll have those [expletive-for-African-Americans] voting Democrat for the next 200yrs!” I could go on, but I find it a waste of time to try and school the stupid and ignorant just 4.5 weeks before a crucial and historic make-or-break election…

  There you go again. Always apply the extreme position. Are we an obese nation? No one wants any one else to starve. The rate at which dependecy has grown should be worrisome to all taxpayers. If you haven’t checked lately, receivers are not grateful for what the taxpayers are paying. No, they are crying for more, more, more. At some point, receivers will overwhelm the ability of the supporters to pay. Freedom and liberty will be gone for all.

The only pleasure, and I do mean the ONLY pleasure, I get out of the thought of Obama remaining in power is that these useful idiots will be some of the first to be weeded out of the food chain.

The people that think they are useful and wanted by tyrants are usually the first to be eliminated.

More of the same stuff to bring this country to its knees! America Oh America, what have you allowed into your hallowed halls of righteousness, justice for all, liberty to for all, freedom for all? You’ve allowed the babyboom generation the most spoiled generation ever produced in America to rule over you and subjugate your spirit for what they call the greater good. To understand them, all one must do is listen to the John Lennon song Imagine. This is where they want to take us all. Its getting hard to pay the electric bills lately, so we must cut back where ever and when ever we can, food is skyrocketing in price, gasoline too, and these guys want more of our money so they can FEEL good about spreading it around to others who for the most part do not do much to even try to earn or make their own ways in this land. Our strength lies in our independence not dependence.

Harvard now ridiculously insists that fluoride only lowers IQ levels outside the United States
http://www.infowars.com/harvard-now-ridiculously-insists-that-fluoride-only-lowers-iq-levels-outside-the-united-states/
Intense industry pressure to continue mass medicating Americans with fluoride chemicals via public water supplies has apparently influenced Harvard University researchers to backtrack on a recent study they conducted that verified fluoride chemicals lower IQ levels in children. We are now being told the absurd lie that fluoride is only detrimental to people in other countries, and that Americans need not worry about ingesting and bathing in the toxic brew here in the states.

A recent pro-fluoride article published by the industry-backed Wichita Eagle petitions Wichitans, who will soon vote on whether or not to fluoridate their local water supply, not to oppose the city’s upcoming fluoride measure based on the Harvard study because the study’s findings allegedly only apply to Chinese children. The piece encourages Wichitans to essentially ignore this and other science showing the dangers of fluoride, or at least pretend as though none of it applies to them.

  I have heard the flouride debate for quite a while and before California started voicing a concern over it.
  
  Sadly, most local people that are supposeds to be experts on the chemical and its impact either laugh off the question or just dont really know.
  
  Q: Is flouride really neccessary for teeth and is more harmful than good?
  Typical answer: Look at your teeth, isn’t that enough?
  Follow up: You mean like how people in the 50 and 60′s looked at DDT and how it made they floral and argriculture food less more bountiful and healthy looking?
  
  At this point, the assistants are looking at the dentists and the dentist is either at this point trying to move on looks at the ground and does that “I know better than you but cant prove it” laugh.
  
  Its a simple question… why not answer it to satisfy an uneasy patient?
  I’ve approached politicans one of them was Susan Collins. Her answer?
  “I’ll get back to you about that.”
  Said it right at my house…
  Never heard from her again…

For Rent: Your Very Own Agenda 21 “Shoebox” Apartment
http://www.infowars.com/for-rent-your-very-own-agenda-21-shoebox-apartment/
While some people are still debating whether or not the United Nations’ Agenda 21 plan is real, major cities all over the country are about to offer more proof of its implementation in the form of tiny, “shoebox-style” housing units barely big enough for one person to live in.

New York and Boston are already beta testing itty bitty apartments, and yesterday the LA Times reported that San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors is considering official revisions to the city’s building code to allow for even less living space.
