What some people think should be done to liberals "evil" "patrioric" etc

Liberals are a virus?

Michael Savage isn't the only right-wing talk-radio host who launches blistering, even violent, verbal attacks on people and groups he doesn't like. Glenn Beck, for instance, fantasized about murdering a liberal filmmaker.

You get into Wright about what he says and you don't attack this crap - the man is a nut


If you support these views you are part of the problem

Savage and Beck are just entertainers. I don't take them seriously. The problem is that some people do.

by the way, we had a poster here fantasize about murdering another poster.

entertainers ????? What an lame excuse. If Wright had used this then all hell would break loose. Well as I said only in America.

Holy Hell... check out the story behind this "Dark Lord" photo of McCain, taken by a democrat photographer who was hired to mae republicans look as sinister as possible.

Obviously this left wing photographer knows nothing about the embalmer's art.

Some people on FOX have pics of Obama looking darker than he really is.

I think there is a subtext here, you don't want someone in the Whitehouse who has a bigger one than you.


"ohn McCain? His entire campaign team stepped right out of a predator's ball. His confidante and top adviser lobbied several years for Freddie Mac. His deputy fundraiser lobbied Fannie Mae, and his campaign manager lobbied for both of them, leading a coalition of beltway insiders whose goal was to "stave off regulations" that might have short circuited this nightmare.

One wealthy member of Freddie Mac's board has contributed more than $70,000 to McCain and Republican Party members working for McCain's election. "

Oil is a global commodity. It goes to the highest bidder. By the time any new oil would actually be on the market, which would be at least ten years, China's geometrically escalating demand for oil will double the world's demand for oil by 2025. So any oil produced by opening places like anwar would go on the market at the same time that China would be replacing the US as the major consumer of oil. The oil companies will sell that anwar oil to the highest bidder.

This isn't rocket science. The reason this country is in such serious trouble is because its citizens act like it is.

A child born to at least one illiterate parent is twice as likely to be illiterate.

Twenty-two million people each year (44,000 people each week) are added to the adult illiterate
population in the United States. (U.S. Department of Education)

Forty-three percent of the people with the lowest literacy skills live in poverty; 17 percent receive food
stamps, and 70 percent have no job or a part-time job. (National Institute for Literacy)

Approximately 20% of American adults do not have a high school diploma. (U.S. Census 1990)

An estimated 5 million adults holding jobs are considered functionally illiterate. (Nation's Business)

Workers who lack a high school diploma earn a mean monthly income of $452, compared to $1,829
for those with a bachelor's degree. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993)

Four out of ten job applicants tested in 1992 for basic reading and/or math skills lacked the mastery
necessary for the job they sought. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993)

Over 50% of surveyed manufacturing companies indicate that more than half of their front line workers
have serious literacy problems. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993)

Parents with low literacy skills often do not have access to written information that could help them
become better parents. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993)

A child who grows up in a home with at least one illiterate parent is twice as likely to be illiterate.
(Laubach Literacy Statistics)

At least 1/3 of all AFDC mothers (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) is illiterate. (Laubach
Literacy Statistics)

The most single most significant factor influencing a child's early educational success and achievement (first
and second grade) is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school.
(U.S. Department of Education, A Nation at Risk, 1985)

Children who have not already developed some basic literacy practices when they enter school are
three to four times more likely to drop out in later years. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993)

Yes, selecting Palin may be a political gimmick and it may turn out to be brilliant. Since her selection, energy has been sucked out of the Obama compaign. If McCain is elected president, will it be because he was smart, lucky or is the electorate just deluded?

Yes, yes, keep calling the electorate "deluded", "idiotic", "stupid", etc... That will be a sure way to win them over come November.

Why is it a gimmick to pick a Conservative Woman, but not a Liberal Black Man? Methinks we have a bit of a bias going on...

by the way, once again, I just want to state for the record that I want to vote for a Black Man... And it's about as "simple" and "idiotic" as that, too. He just has to be the right kind of black man. Someone who is centered, deeply patriotic in a nationalistic sense, and... Well, frankly... For me probably center-right rather than center-left, left, far left, or Obama-Left. I suppose much in the same way some of you don't view Socialism as the bogeyman it's made out to be by the Right, I don't view American Conservatism as the fascist theocracy some on the Left make it out to be. If a black man shared my values I would have 'zero' problem voting for him.

If this thread is any indication, I'd go with option C, with a touch of A because he knew about option C.

Ah, yes. We're "deluded", too. Man, I guess all that socialized education I received didn't pay off this election cycle for the Democrats. What a shame.
