  1. the courage also?

    yes, I think he and I agreed on that Orwellian "Department of Education"

    It's a shame what has happened to these kids today.

    I had the courage.

    And like you say, I'm pretty sure he had it too.

  2. Sorry dude but you just don't understand how earmarks work.
    His constituents ask him to ask for some money back.
    And so he does.
    And then he votes against the entire budget because its bullshit.
    But of course it passes because bullshit always passes.
    If he doesn't give the money back to his constituents them it gets spent by the executive branch.

    Another genius poster with no understanding of how the system works. All he likes to do is say "earmarks" and then say that any congressman who gets them for his district is bad.

    Moron.

  3. I'm a little confused. What exactly is a "moron"? Is that the same as a "retard"?

    but I agree, if someone has a mental handicap, they should be properly identified, so nobody mistakes them for a thoughtful poster on ET.

    "thoughtful poster on ET." is an oxymoron.

  5. ok, I got you, when we were in college we started calling Pizaa "zah" just to sound cool.

    It was a very simple formula. You just took what normal people said and left off the first syllable. And that created "slang."

    So a moron is really just an oxymoron in the way you kids talk today

    are you sure he really understands what he is doing?

    He sounds kind of "square" to me

    and that is not cool daddyo

    gotta get hip to the 21'st century

    it's already 13 years old

    get your lingo together man

    the milestone was "The Department of Education"

    What we need now is "The Department of Internet Posting."

  6. otherwise

    I know there are plenty of families out there

    who have a child suffering

    and to use their condition as a derogatory term

    is really unfeeling and cruel

    there's plenty for us to fight over, without going down to those uneeded depths

    I was concerned about Ron Pauls foreign policy because his isolationism may have worked if we had put it into place a long time ago... it seemed odd given the current state of the world.

    Would Al Queda leave us alone if we all of sudden a President said we are isolationist now.

    The would seem as naive as Obama thinking the world would love us now that he was President.

  9. The problem is the media, by large is in the pockets of the big business/special interests that Mr. Paul crusades against. They mocked and ignored him, ON PURPOSE, through the entire election.
    He is right in many aspects and I liked his direct approach too. The voting populous is generally speaking, also a stupid TV/Sports watcher simpleton ready to be sheared and manipulated.

  10. I use to work for the media

    the one and only thing they care about is ad revenue

    the owner was very conservative, even held fund raisers for republicans at his house

    but his newspaper was extremely left wing, darn near communist

    I asked him and he said, "Circulation, my boy."
