Re: Mitt, more gaffes like this, please

I think this goes to the heart of what Romney was trying to say in Israel.

If you're an Israeli, and you have a successful business, you didn't built that. Your culture built that.

Re: Ultra-Successful Entrepreneur Explains Job Creation

Thanks for the post, Analytics. For me, the statistic that stood out the most was that if median household income had kept pace with the economy, it would be $92,000 a year instead of $50,000. The economy is a pump that needs to be primed, and in order to prime the pump you need consumers that are a...

Paranoid is the new Normal.

"America leads the world in shocks. Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock." Gil Scott-Heron We are a nation of 300 million people. For every 100 Americans there are 90 guns. We believe in individualism, and we believe in demonizing the 'other'. W...

Re: Man is it going to get UGLY (link)

So Romney's Bain Capital closes a plant, the man loses his health insurance and his wife dies of cancer? It's woman's fault, for not living in a state like Massachusetts, where they have decent health care coverage. When will these unfair attacks stop? Next thing you know they'll be accusing Romney ...

Re: Obamacare: Businesses to raise prices / cut jobs because

John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John's, earns over $200 million dollars a year. So he has to charge 14 cents per pizza more to cover health care costs for his employees? John Schnatter is a major fundraiser for Romney, so of course he will pass the expense back to the customer. It would be morally wrong...

Re: "My God!"

So the evidence strongly suggests that dropping the bomb ultimately saved millions of lives. I know this is a popular argument, one I used to use myself, but it urns out the Japanese were on the cusp of essentially unconditional surrender - they had been working toward offering a surrender on terms...

Re: "My God!"

During history (real or fictious) every murder, cruelty and savagery was explained away and was reasoned as necessary and unavoidable - by the perpetrators and/or their successors. God or government of USA - all the same. by the way up to present case... I am certain that all item of the above list...

Re: "My God!"

In thinking about Hiroshima, it's important to ask what would have happened had we not dropped the bomb? The father of a friend of mine was a Marine on Okinawa on August 6th, 1945. Every night his platoon would drink and gamble for thousands of dollars. It didn't matter, because they all knew they w...
