Quote from RangeBar:
BTW, Obama just this week announced a program of 8 billion dollars in loan guarantees to build nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy is the most readily viable solution to energy needs and carbon output problems. This is what happens when we have a leader who places SCIENCE above religious superstition.
Quote from RangeBar:
I'm white, I'm not guilt-ridden and I voted for Obama. He's doing a very good job which will become apparent more & more over time. We're about to exit Iraq, we'll be out of Afganistan in 2011, his actions, (as well as Bush's), in implementing a stimulus plan has prevented a much bigger depression, and he will start attacking the deficit in the next year.
Obama is governing from the middle and he will be supported by the middle come 2012. There is nothing more pleasing to progressive-thinking people than for Palin, Beck, O'Reilly, Rush, et al to keep spewing their hate and idiocacy. We WANT them to continue on this path. Anybody looking at the composition of the two parties in terms of race, religion, sex, or national origin can easily see which party MOST and BEST represents the American public.
If you want America to be a Christian theocracy: vote Republican. If you think that business has the right to exploit the environment, consumer, and worker: vote Republican. Don't blame Obama and liberals for failing to overcome the insurance/drug industries: blame Republicans and Blue-Dog Democrats.
Quote from PiggyBank:
Lay off the kool-aid brah. We are not about to exit either front in the necessary and acceptable war nor should we, that is just not going to happen. The "stimulus" is Bush's worst offense against the nation by far, and Obama continuing this type of insanity will fuck us badly in the long term. This is not a matter of opinion but of fact. His attacking the deficit is a flat out lie, as there is no evidence of anything said or done to believe this .
Obama is not governing from the middle, he was way out in radical utopia commie land until Brown won in MA. his moving TOWARDS the center does not put him in the middle. As for the insurance thing all I can say is I am not BLAMING anyone for failing to overcome the very companies that CREATED the industry, and relish in their failure to assume further control of the private sector, which sustains their (the govt's) parisitic existence.
By the way I am far from religious, maybe anti-religious, so quit equating conservatives with Christianity. Also, your post seems disingenuine to me. You voted for Obama who at the time was anything but moderate (during his campaign), yet now you are pretending as if you thought he woulld govern from the middle all along? Please let me know why you thought this, and please let me know which of Obama's campaign promises have been fulfilled.
Quote from RangeBar:
You are such a PIKER !!! The U.S., since 1950, have killed over 6,000,000 people on this planet: far, far more people than all Muslims and all other terrorist combined. The American Christian fundementalist is just as dangerous to our species as any Muslim fundementalist. Even more so at this point because they have the U.S. military (accounting for 53%+ of the world's TOTAL military spending), at their command.
Furthermore, we don't need the military to protect access to oil supplies. One group has oil (them) and another group needs oil (us): if you REALLY believe in capitalism then you would KNOW that the necessary transactions WILL take place.

Let me know what your thoughts are on Al Gore, who has cashed in on Global warming now to the tune of over 100 mill, who is also helping to bring about extreme changes in government policy which will hurt us all, such as, cap and tax.

It is ridiculous. It's either a lie or truth.
Lie it is by your own definition.
