To all, especially the ones they call blueone and ukit. My constant attacks on individuals for having a different political view then me is over. I am now open to a constructive debate.
I will start with this.

The people band together and say, quit printing money and they get called TeaBaggers, racists and Nazi's?
How can you disagree with someone who is fiscally conservative? Whats wrong with being fiscally conservative?
Since when did it become a good idea to live in credit?
FYI - Nazi's were Socialists - Hence the National Democratic Socialist Party.
- The reason why is because there were no uprisings when Bush was doing it.DrBombay
- Loses tons of vredibility when they wait for the democrat to come in to start.DrBombay
- And the whole movement is funded by think tanks masquerading as grassroots.DrBombay
- But I don't expect you to understand or take part in any "constructive debate"DrBombay
- the Nazi's were hardcore corrupted facists! as opposed to a healthy modern democracyzman
- social democracy that is.zman
- i dont like the word democracy. makes people because we're democratic and good, that anything majority vote = good/right********
- whats wrong with showing some emotion, its hard to keep composure when people present a idiotic bill.********
- and what would happen if they do nothing but whisper no. not very effective.********
- wasn't the same bush was president, admit it.DrBombay

Nice try. Address me again specifically and expect the bill in the mail for my knowledge for each response. My education doesn't come cheap anymore. I'm a capitalist and my time is money. Shall I mail it to the San Jose address, or should I send it to the headquarters for the lifestyle mag?

In the 90s it seemed plausible that containerization, post-Fordist production and supply chains and information technology in the new office place were the driving forces of a transition to a New Economy, one more productive, and in different ways, than anything that had come before it. But this great transformation somehow failed to show up statistically and, in due course, the stock-market crash of 2001 brought an end to the decade of cyber-hype. Altogether less plausible was the subsequent expectation that technologically retrograde real-estate bubbles, providing markets for exporters of consumer durables and raw materials, could be a sustainable basis for economic growth. Rather than leading to any ‘New Economy’ in the productive base, the innovations of this period of capitalism have powered transformations in the Lebenswelt of diversion and sociability, an expansion of discount and luxury shopping, but above all a heroic age of what was until recently called ‘financial technology’. Internet and mobile phones, Walmart and Prada, Black–Scholes and subprime—such are the technological landmarks of the period.

Alongside this myth of a technological new age, the other grand narrative of capitalism in this period has been the de-centring of the Euro-American core of capitalist civilization by the rise of Asia, by which was meant first Japan, and then China. Postmodern globalization has been an epic of the self-transcendence of the West towards an Oriental horizon. (Both geographically and world historically it makes sense that, in such accounts of the future of capitalism, Asia should appear as the new West, an America for the next millennium.) For more than half a century us hegemony had helped make this development possible, by opening up its vast market to selected clients and providing them with free military protection from Communism. In its late, post-Cold War phase, us demand galvanized the rapid growth of Asia’s export powerhouses, which produced already existing manufactured goods but more cheaply. Instead of unleashing new productive forces more broadly or intensively, the latter’s accumulated surpluses eventually came to fuel the inflation of asset bubbles around the world.
- Khurram0
The process of this relocation of technologically less-advanced industrial production to low-wage regions has unfolded differently to that of the classically expansionary phases of the capitalist system. Although China has grown very rapidly along these lines, the world economy as a whole has grown too slowly and disproportionately for even this to be sustainable. While the us, and the West more generally, will come to accept a larger role for China in some emerging, unsteady crisis-management regime, this is not the beginning of a new, China-centred phase of accumulation. For the latter to be conceivable, Chinese growth would have to come to depend on new and more advanced productive forces—not simply the broader dissemination of existing ones that are not even at the most advanced level, like the us techniques that spread to Europe and Japan after the war. The quarter-century story of countries with a half or a fifth of us per capita gdp catching up and indeed surpassing it, cannot be repeated today by others that have scarcely a fourteenth.
- Khurram0
If the world was moving towards a new phase of vigorous, capitalist accumulation, China would be one of its main epicentres. But are there any reasons for thinking that, as the downturn simultaneously intensifies in Japan, the us and much of Europe, China will not only be able to avoid being dragged down with them, but will be able to grow so fast as to open up opportunities for their export-based recovery? Even by the largest estimates of its size, and even assuming that its increasingly export-dependent high rate of growth will not now decline precipitously, China’s economy is too small to carry the weight. The West will continue to decline without giving rise to an ascendancy of the Far East, let alone of Brazil, Russia or India.

Obama wins he Nobel Peace prize. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. Please tell me that you're fucking annoyed by this.
Reward actions before rhetoric
October 12, 2009
WHEN awarded to terrorist Yasser Arafat in 1994, the Nobel peace prize was devalued in the eyes of many. When awarded in 2007 to a political body (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and a failed politician (Al Gore), who are dedicated to a problem that we can't control and that may not even exist, it became a joke.With its awarding this year to Barack Obama, it has become a prize for hope over substance, rhetoric over action. No one who has read the resumes of other nominees could still think that Obama is a worthy winner. Why the selection committee overlooked nominees such as Sima Samar, an Afghan women's rights activist, or Dr Denis Mukwege, founder and head of the Panzi hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is hard to fathom. Especially when you bear in mind that Obama was in office for just 12 days when nominations closed.
One day, if his lofty ideals and ambitions materialise and the world does become a safer place, he may merit a peace prize. Until then, shouldn't we reward people who are actually doing something now?
- I think you should have won it.DrBombay

You were laughing when Obama lost the olympic bid a week ago and now you are horrified that the guy won the Nobel.
At what point do you drop the patriotic bit and admit that you want the country to fail?

Does Sen. John McCain have any credibility left, considering his war mongering efforts to support his mentor and God George W. Bush during the pursuit of WMDs in Iraq that never existed. And now the gimp says he the U.S. does not send at least 40,000 additional troops that this "would be an error of historic proportions." The only thing that the Republicans do well is fear & war mongering.

What does the democratic party have a history of bigotry and racism?
A common attack upon conservatives and republicans by the ultra left is to engage in what has come to be known as "playing the race card" but is more accurately described as racial McCarthyism. Hardly a day goes by without a member of the far left wing falsely accusing conservatives of racism, bigotry, and a wide array of similar nasty things. They are not only dishonest, but they often border on the absurd, as in NAACP leader and hyper bigot Julian Bond's recent implication to his organization that Bush administration officials supported confederate slavery. Amazingly, Bond's statements went without condemnation from the radical Democrat party or others in his organization.

Summary:
COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum..
Technique #1 - 'FORUM SLIDING'
If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by 'forum sliding.' In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to 'age.'Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING'
Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting.Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'
implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity.Technique #4 - 'INFORMATION COLLECTION'
Information collection is also a very effective method to determine the psychological level of the forum members, and to gather intelligence that can be used against them.Technique #5 - 'ANGER TROLLING'
present a image to the forum to deliberately incite a strong psychological reaction. From this the most violent in the group can be effectively singled out for reverse IP location and possibly local enforcement tracking.Technique #6 - 'GAINING FULL CONTROL' (A favorite among big 3-letter websites... [cough]ahem...)
the forum can then be effectively and quietly controlled by deleting unfavourable postings - and one can eventually steer the forum into complete failure and lack of interest by the general public.- Is this the techniques you use, you fucking lizard brain?DrBombay
