• New Video of Dad’s Conspiracy Theory: ‘So Cowardly They Shot the Boy Dead’

  You are partially correct about blame jews and blame America. You are also partially correct that many Russians hate America. However, you are incorrect applying it to these terrorists. They are from Chechnya. Former Soviet “territory” that fought a long independence war against Russia. It’s also now a breeding ground for islamic terrorism. Therefore, this is not the case of blame America. This is a case of islamic fundamentalism for the suspects and more likely than anything: disbelief on the part of the father. These people (majority of them) hate Russians and they certainly have some reasons for that. That is just an FYI.

  What a schmuck! To apologize for defending yourself against an attack perpertrated by people, who are breaching your border… Wow.

  Dear comrade Liberalmann,
  1. The article you are siting shows job growth by small business not small business growth. It is impossible to grow jobs if your unemployment at below 5% (considered by economists as full employment: anyone who wants to work works), which is what it was for most of the Bush’s time in the office. If you have pool of 10 people and 8 of them are willing/wanting/needing to work and all 8 of them are working then, how would you grow the number of workers (I am not trying to illustrate percentages, just the logic).
  2. The conversation here is about marginal tax rates and not job growth (they are connected but without bringing tax rates into conversation it’s not relevant)
  3. Here is the kicker: government individual tax revenue 2010: 1.1trillion and 58% ($638bil. of it from top 5% (Adj.Gross Income of $155k per family). If you DOUBLE their tax rate you will get additional $638 billion. Our deficit is 1.2 trillion/year, which is double of that number. So even if you double tax rates of top 5% income earners in the country you are still short. Guess what these people would do if you double their rates. They certainly won’t work or show their income. The smaller increase say 10% will bring only 63billion and that is about 5% of the deficit. Not even a drop in a bucket of water.
  4. Top 5% by the way would include some families like an engineer working in Silicon Valley for $150k/yr and his wife a family doctor at $130k/yr and two kids. Are they the

  Can you post anything without insulting others? T-baggers….

  Chick-Fil-A did not discriminate against anyone; neither customers nor employees (it is against the law in this country). The whole brouhaha was about freedom of speech and not gay rights. But, hey, why would you try and understand that, or someone else point for that matter? After all, you are “lots of money making”, great and tolerant person, aren’t you?

  Here is the biggest problem with covering pre-existing conditions and not mandating having insurance: people will only buy insurance when seriously ill. Therefore, you cannot have one without the other.

  @brother
  Here are your problems:
  Realistically, Ron Paul lives in a 150 years ago world. Travel between continents took weeks, no weapons of mass distraction, no cyber terrorism, no global economy, no suicidal islamic fundamentalists, who can use all of the above and are willing to die. Remember, the war is won by those, who have the will not who have the means. Only battles are won by means.
  Ron Paul is a descent man, but he lives in a fantasy world, when he speaks of Iran. I agree with many of his points and I agree with him being the best treasurer we could have, but the president… Please, reality check is needed. You want to push this utopian idea of his presidency, be my guest. I would agree that his son is a good candidate, but he is not running, is he?

  That goes without saying, but what do we do to save the country and leave something still worthy to our children?

  Speaks highly of Romney’s hiring ability, doesn’t it? Or do they see things similarly?
