  2. GWB was caught unknowingly on on a hot mic saying, "I wouldn't mind a dictator in America, so long as I was the dictator."

    As much an a-hole as Bush was, then along came Obama. He wants to transform America into an Islamic Caliphate.

    WTF is wrong with you people... voting for people like that? You got a death wish, or what??

    :(

  3. As someone pointed out earlier we don't elect a dictator, we elect an executive. A socialistic president can't impose socialism, only legislators can. An anti-abortion president can't ban abortion and neither can congress since it's settled law.
    Hot button issues are used to score political points but the ones bringing them up are powerless to actually do anything about them.

  4. You make me cringe. I bet you post stupid opinions like that on Facebook, making your kids and grandkids unfriend you.

    futurecurrents and Ricter like this.
  5. Explain please. Why do you "cringe"? Bush's "hot mic" comments are public record.

  6. Au Contraire.... You're not paying attention. Of course, we don't "elect a dictator", as per Constitutional law. But Odumbo has basically said "FUCK THE CONSTITUTION" on several important issues.. and imposes his will as though he were elected as dictator. And neither CONgress nor SCOTUS steps up and stops him.

    If that's the case (and it is), then what do you call it?? And virtutally everything Odumbo has said and done is all in favor of Islam and anti-America. What do you call THAT??

  7. POTUS has executive order powers bounded by the Constitution. If he's exceeded his Constitutional powers then the courts can consider cases that challenge his actions.
    ACA is being challenged in court from multiple angles. The system is working.

    Lots of people like to come to the backwoods of NC to vacation. You might be able to use your experience in trading. The other guy, lacking in real knowledge of the world, may not be a good trader. My prescription for your dilemma would be a little reading of Taleb, especially the Black Swan.--Swimr

  9. I'm working on transitioning from international equities to commodities, preferabbly a private company out in the middle of nowhere so I can get away from my generation.

  10. Whoa. How do you "get along" from day-to-day.. being so naive?

    "The system" is NOT WORKING. Odumbo says "FUCK AMERICA, IT LAWS, AND EVERYTHING THE HORSE RODE IN ON"... while the CONgress and SCOTUS sits back and do nothing. (Yeah, I know... SCOTUS has ruled against Odumbo 9-0. Nevertheless, Odumbo says, "FUCK SCOTUS RULIJG" and goes ahead with whatever he wants, regardless. How is that "working"??
