Or that we are sharing information with each other in ways never heard of before!!??

Are they aware they can't get away with their pomp and circumstance like they used to?

We have a recording of everything they say and do like never before.

And we aren't afraid to use it!!

This country is ours every bit as much as it is theirs!!

Let's take a survey, shall we!?
1,000,000,000 Hindus
1,200,000,000 Muslims
1,000,000,000 Buddhists/Jains/Jews
1,500,000,000 Sikhs/Taoists/Shinto/non-relig... and Indigenous religions (oh yeah, and gays.)

4.7 billion people. Wow, if that's your idea of ultimate goodness, I'd hate to see your idea of a vicious god. Your claims of benevolence and kindness are a fraud. You make me sick the way you slander whatever Creator there may actually be. Your kind, the superstitious and insane, have always stood against truth and decency in the world. You don't deserve respect; you deserve ridicule.

If you've seen me post, you would know I'm always citing third party sources like Whitehouse.org, the Census, Library of Congress, American Meteorological Society, Geological Society of America, etc, etc.

Why is it cons rarely do the same thing? At most, they will cite right-wing partisan sites like CATO, newsmax, and Heritage.

You don't see me citing democratic underground or moveon.org.

Don't cons want to learn something new or VERIFY what you believe really is true?

For example, some con said there was double digit unemployment under Carter. Had he verified this for himself (on the Labor department website) he would have seen there was no double digit unemployment under Carter and that in fact unemployment was higher under Nixon and Reagan.

why do american leftists hate private healthcare and private insurance so much? even in many european nations where socialized healthcare exists, they still allow people to choose the private alternatives if they want. this is because they know that public health is so much worse. Ive lived in Hungary for several years, and even though they all pay for public health, no one uses it. they would rather pay more for private service. the only thing better about it is that illegals cant use it because they always ask for a "TB" card which proves that you are a working legal resident. in america even illegals get medical attention. maybe thats why healthcare prices are going up...

Do you agree with the foreign policy that our government is currently using towards manipulating other countries foreign policies to favor ours? The CIA since the 60’s has tried to change the political scheme of countries by financing Military Coops or otherwise known as “golpes de estado” against Venezuela and Chile. They manipulate counties like Mexico and others that are in process of developing but are being held down because of the US foreign policy. I love my country, but documents are out there that show all this, what would you say if you knew that our CIA is out there manipulating the worlds countries? Conspiracy, or truth…open discussion……

As an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
I recently got thrown into prison for my passion for football related violence and drinking and as i sat there in my cell i often talked with my mates Slasher, Thumper and Clomper about Americans being very stupid and being like their stereotype.
Slasher said he once knew a American who went into a bookshop and asked "Have you any Shakespeare?"
The bookshop owner asked "which one?"
to which our American friend replied"William"

I'm entering Duke University but I live in MN. One of the issues I'm having is getting credit for some math courses I took at the University of MN. Duke has a policy that if a student takes classes at a different university and those classes count for high school credit then those credits cannot be accepted. However, MN State Statute 120B.14 requires high schools to give credit for any work done by students in higher educational facilities. So, is there any way I can force Duke given this state law to give me credit even though it violates their rules?

In reality do you think Americans are at a point that we would elect a woman or a minority man as president? If the only canidates were a woman and the other a black man which do you think the american people would pick?

Most uneducated Americans (ie. majority of Americans) blame their own personal woes as well as those of their country's on illegal immigrants. They couldn't be any wronger.

Illegal immigrants actually help keep their lives relatively better. They help the American economy stay vibrant and active.

Without the cheap labor of illegal immigrants, many major companies would relocate to Asia, which would result in a total loss of jobs for America - even those jobs that would normally go to the higher skilled Americans.

Illegal immigrants keep American business competitive and operational. Illegal immigrants don't sue their employers for millions of dollars because they were "discriminated" against, or because they got a paper cut on their pinky finger. They don't file for unemployment or form unions demanding more money. They don't call in sick and expect pay or burden the group health insurance plan with their obesity.

It's your fellow Americans you need to be concerned about.
