    Retiree Benefits Could Be Cut?

    Hmmm... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/19/us/retiree-benefits-for-the-military-could-face-cuts.html?_r=1&hp Is there any discussion regarding cutting benefits to retired members of Congress et al? I'll bet good money (if I can call it that any more) that we're not. Anyone wanna bet against me?

    Rumsfeld Speaks On Cutting Defense Spending...

    Good ol' Rummie sez that if we cut defense spending that another attack is imminent. Guess he's still privy to intelligence, eh? LOL! Hey Donnie! Did it ever occur to you that it might be the decades of our foreign policy that has pissed people off enough to want to kill us? Of course not...

    It's Been a Trying Few Days...

    I only hang in this forum, so I'm putting it here... Two days ago I come home for lunch. My wife is at the answering machine listening to a message from my mom. She turns to me and says "This is the 2nd message 15 minutes apart and she says she's having a medical emergency! You need to call...

    This Republican Sez...

    ...After listening to Obama's "vision", let's pass it and let's "fast track" it. If it's a success, we win.If it fails, he loses the next election and we get another shot of fixing the problem (not the the Reps can do any better...LOL). Let the man stand on his success of failure. Shed your...

    Food Stamps For Fast Food...

    Perfect! Let's use government assistance programs and let'em eat nutritionally empty, high fat/sodium/HFCS foods. That way we can get'em on insulin, cholesterol, and blood pressure meds so it helps out Big Pharma and helps with Big Agra and all the subsidies we're pushing...

    Why "We" Will Never Prevail...

    It's very simply actually... The media, their corporate masters (whom our elected officials are beholden to), love nothing more than to watch "The Game" being carried out before their very eyes. What game you ask? Why...The game where all the peasantry is kept "off balance" and polarized by...

    Let's Talk Unions, Shall We?

    Allow me to "set the stage"....so to speak. I've been anti-union for most of my life. I come from a blue collar family and my father was a member of the Machinist Union working for Peterbilt. He worked there for 23 years and was promptly fired when they moved the facility in Newark to...

    Casualties of War...

    Isn't it interesting how circumstances can quite literally change a person. I'll be the first to admit that my first response to the WTC collapse was "We need to nuke those fuckers back to the Stone Age!". But my curiosity got the better of me and I began asking the question..."Why did they do...

    Let's Face It...The GOP Can Win With a Retard And...

    ...beat Obama. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. And a retard is exactly what the GOP will run. The minute Perry jumped in I stated that it'll kill Romney. All we need is Palin to join the fray and kill Bachmann, and it'll be down to which retard the GOP pushes...Palin or Perry. I'm...

    Desolation Wilderness Pics...

    Taken this last Saturday from the summit of Pyramid Peak. Took the Rocky Canyon Trail that climbed 4400ft to the summit (just shy of 10,000ft). Very steep trail, but the reward of the panoramic landscape below was worth the effort.

    Hey Londonfog! Instead Of Sounding Like a Dem Tool...

    ...convince me it was "The Tea Party" that got us into this mess. Unlike yourself and others here, I am a reasonable individual that's been around the block a few times. I'll listen to reason. I'll even go off and investigate/scrutinize/research information for myself (in fact, that's what I...

    It's All The Tea Party's Fault!!!

    Heh...Well I must say that this place has become simply too amusing for words. Having been gone for awhile and coming back certainly helps one take on a different perspective. I've been having a great time perusing the threads and I'm detecting an underlying theme in the recent threads...
