  • San Francisco to Name Street After…Nancy Pelosi?!

    In reply to scuba13.

    Just like health care, they should blindly rename the street and then see what is on it!

  • Although childish in the approach, I personally celebrate Happy Masturbation Month every month. Why stop being happy because the month is over?

  • So let me get this straight. We have a bunch of people who vehemently oppose war in other countries as they say it is inhumane and an abuse of power, but we have those who are willing to abuse and ignore laws for the sake of the first amendment? Opportunism at its best.

    So if we practice violence in our own country it is agreeable, but if we go to war with countries that want to annihilate our very existence then we are intolerable? I got it, rewrite tolerance and teach it to liberals to sustain the double standard.

    The last I heard it was the right to free speech and not the right to free destruction.

  • The contrast between the rule of law and the media is hilarious. The rule of law specifically denotes that you are innocent until proven guilty but the media like to portray guilt until you are proven innocent. Zimmerman has a case and is currently innocent. Although Trayvon has a questionable past, I can’t rush to judgement as that is foolish and will result in the proverbial “egg on face” when you find out your reactions are incorrect. You will always be right when you reserve your judgements and opinions and wait for facts to come out. If always being right means shutting up and allowing a process to complete, then I will just shut up and allow it to do so. I have no dog in this fight and thinking I do is retarded.

  • He’s right! I don’t get them at all. Sounds all fine and dandy when you get emotional Mr. Biden, but the real America cannot survive with rhetoric as currency!

  • @Encinom – The problem with you is that you have no experience when it comes to real spending with consequences. I, on the other hand, have been entrenched in decisions that have costly repercussions if they fail. I can handle the insults of regurgitated kool aid references to some author as I could care less. I was an economics/finance major and we spend our time looking over the comparisons of government investments and private sector acquisition/investments and both do not cross paths at all. History has shown that government reallocating monies is vastly a larger waste since the smartest people are always the ones who create the wealth as government is to benefit from them. That is in lame terms just to communicate it without confusion.

    Earlier you stated the 50′s being a barometer of success with higher taxes, but you failed to understand what the actual taxes were that were higher. You need to do more homework then rely on your Matthews MSNBC degree that has only one point of view. The great minds of Friedman and Sowell have vetted the process of economic prosperity to equate to prosperity when liberals like to focus on fairness which has no end.

    I also loved how you fell into my trap about the internet’s creation. Yes, state schools were the largest initial contributor to the invention to which tuition and bank loans started the process. The government followed suit after it was proven a success. Spiking the football, eh?

    Game, set, match!

  • @Encinom – Government regulation is just another term for government control. You love to boast that the government is the best in creating fairness and regulation but in fact they create less options and dependance. The private sector is the only reason we have wealth in this country. By virtue of consequence, why does the government avoid the need to vet itself upon poor investments when businesses are not afforded that same luxury? When the government screws up (which is most of the time), there are no consequences, but when a business makes a poor investment people get fired, businesses close and jobs are lost. I feel the knee jerk reaction is vastly slowed when a business must move capital in order to flourish but government will listen to 1-2 people on average to come to some decision and then fail, then never feel the sting, but the taxpayers do when thousands of these bad decisions are made over time to which we are currently in such a predicament.

    For example, a business must go before a board in most publicly traded atmospheres to make huge acquisitions or investments. These are usually prefaced by long winded consultants giving presentation after presentation and then the bean counters must make sense of the costs, tax penalties and overall profit margin projections. Then borrowing from banks or pulling cash assets with collateral have to be planned.

    Government version is a single vote or executive order or allocation….no thought and no consequence

  • @Encinom – If I am to follow your logic based on how government creates everything we need, then why did ALL forms of communist rule collapse or are irrelevant in all parts of the world?

    I came to the assumption you are for communism as most liberals look to government to solve problems. The private sector works in cycles and the consumer is empowered to pick winners and losers and the government relies heavily upon those private sector people for ingenuity to create the industry. By the way, the government had nothing to do with the creation of the internet. State run schools had instituted this form of networking long before the government attempted to intervene and allocate funds. For the record, the government thought they would speed up the process by, once again, picking a winner to push through but in reality companies were already in talks with banks for pitching a network to be tied together for information sharing. The industry works IN SPITE of the government as the industry grows by risks being taken with investments and jobs being created to handle the demand for those companies. Government is void of responsibility as they don‘t create wealth so they don’t inherit the risk. Our tax dollars basically become gambling money for them to which the house ALWAYS WINS!

    Ask yourself at what point should the government no longer be involved and how big does government have to be to take care of all our needs? Trick question, there is no sustainable answe

  • @Encinom – Government spending creates jobs? Huh? News flash—government cannot create jobs as jobs MUST come from the private sector to contribute to the GDP. Public sector jobs are created and paid for by tax dollars thus a net loss to tax dollars gained by the Treasury.

    Government spending infuses the market with capital? Um, not even close. So you are telling me that giving my money to the government to turn around and give to others to spend in the free market is infusing the market with capital? That is ridiculous! Why go through all that trouble to declare a winner by government when the average daily citizen declares winners by their own needs and not the government’s. That logic makes no sense since the private sector creates wealth by supply and demand and competition will always lend to the consumer winning and not government declaring the overall winner by so called experts.

    Also, FDR has setup this country for failure with his initiatives of Social Security and public works projects. He was an absolute failure with his New Deal which you tend to lean on by having government take over and “create jobs” since he instituted it for 7 years with nothing to show for and it just so happened that the war created a boom in manufacturing and also a distraction to allow PRIVATE sector companies to contribute part of their output towards the war. You see the DEMAND was met and all flourished which continued into the 1950′s.

  • Very true! The truth is only worth telling for liberals when it fits their agenda, thus you hear them never telling the truth!
