Curious to me that Boehner was bellyaching today about "Where are the jobs" as he pondered his ability to survive Romney's failing campaign...all the while almost every Republican (save 5) voted against the Veterans Job Corp bill. http://www.opencongress.org/bill…

Why do you guys invest so much time and emotion into this stuff? Nothings going to change, ever. Not until there is some radical shift in the collective conscious among the citizens of this country. Until then it is just one giant wank fest. A waste of your energy. Live your life and forget about this shit, you can't do a thing about it.

Severian has a good point. Its awareness and consciousness shift needs to happen with people and most importantly action.
its a wank fest going on in here. What are you guys going to do?
Have you figured it out yet? There is 18,288 posts. I am sure the answer is in there somewhere?

Example of why we should not give more control to the government, a minor example in the scheme of things, but so clear how inept government is at governing.
- you need to read a book or paper on logical fallacies.lowimpakt
- Should we post about the awesome stuff unchecked capitalism has done for the world?aaux
- It's a legal issue. Let's say mr cleanup falls down and gets a severe wound cleaning, who get's sued?aaux
- Of course, if he were a true republican he'd just pick himself up and make do, right?aaux
- Whip has a good point. I am sorry for the other morons who dont have the common sense to understand that you are correct.yurimon
- Correct.yurimon
- Capitalism is Communisms cousin.
You want free markets...yurimon - I'm waiting for the day that yurimon makes a clear, concise argument on any topic.aaux
- And no, his point is not good. It's a shit example poorly applied to his statement. Military spending would've been a better example.aaux
- been a better example.aaux
- You know what proprietary capitalism is? Look it up. What you have today is completely different system.yurimon
- MAKE A GODDAMN POINTaaux
- Look it up. I have no time to write you a novel. I have to assume you know nothing to make comments?yurimon

Another sane puppet in power... Lol
Biden on cheerleaders: ‘The stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind’
Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/2…
- That's the best you've got to add to a politics thread? A pervy take on an innocent statement?aaux
- Biden is a senile version of Romneyyurimon
- Romney couldn't identify a doughnut from a plate of pastries. And?aaux
- Please tell me you guys aren't so desperate that this is what you have to run on.aaux
- You are making this more then it is buddy. Defensive?yurimon
- if you cant see the faults of the 2 candidates then your an idiot. They both suck equally. They are very similar. its almost comedic.yurimon
- I see faults in both, but one is definitively better in my opinion.aaux
- And no, they're not that similar. Romney simply says whatever is going to garner a vote. Explain his flip flops on virtually everything?aaux
- virtually every major issue? Obama, for his faults, has done well with what he's had to work with. Hostile congress, shit economy, two wars, etc...aaux
- economy, two wars, etc...aaux
- Yeah one is better liar and speaker. I like Abuse by a more charismatic leader is better i guess. That makes sense.yurimon
- So you're response is, "He's a liar." Tell me why a romney would be better then?aaux
- They are both the same. One is more charismatic and a better speaker. Thats its. All the difference.yurimon
- Obama already screwed us from his track record. Other has no track record yet because of the obvious.yurimon
- How many complete 180 stance changes has obama made?aaux
- does some disagree, whats the problem?drgs
- Obama lied and took on bush policies. Obama care is a tax and a disaster. Expansion of federal power. yup sounds like bushyurimon
- Basically everything you voted for against bush obama does. Romney care is obamacare fyi.yurimon
- How many social programs has obama said he wants to cut? Or continuing tax breaks for weathy?aaux
- two major differences right there. Your boy romney simply will say he supports whatever the crowd in front of him wants. In this case it's the GOPaaux
- in this case the GOP. Who I believe are truly fighting for a christian theocracy here.aaux
- A wealthy, christian theocracy, as he is even ignorant that a good portion of the 47% below his "give a shit about" line are republicans, many in the south.ETM
- republicans, many in the south.ETM
- Or retired pensioners, often GOP members/voters.ETM
- Please Obama changed his postion on gay marriage, and then this last minute amnesty plan for young illegals is an obvious pander. Give me a break.whhipp
- obvious pander. Give me a break.whhipp
- The amnesty bit isn't a change and the gay marriage change is one I support.aaux
- either way you look at it, its a pander and a flop, just because you support it doesnt mean its none of those things... geeze!whhipp

- Good One.yurimon
- Fuck, I agree with whhipp and yuri.aaux
- Chris Hedges - finally - someone we can all agree with.TheBlueOne
- so trueutopian
- "War Is The Force That Gives Us Meaning" is a great read btwTheBlueOne
- TheBlueOne0
Pondering the Chris Hedges quote above - could it be that in the long run of civilization where things like health, knowledge, information, material goods and so forth were in fact hard to come by so that they were valuable in and of themselves. Now these things are relatively easy to acquire thanks to technology, etc. and abundant so the financial margins are no longer in their creation or distribution but rather in removing them from the market rather than getting them into the market? Manufactured scarcity in other words.
That there is money to be made in not producing more wealth, information and material goods (productive capitalism) but in fact incentivizing the destruction/distortion of those things themselves or the markets ability to produce working versions of the same (a manufactured rentiers market)
Just a thought.

- More than that I think.TheBlueOne

I think that access to knowledge has an huge effect. So yes technology is the double edge sword. The internet is huge for making truth available if you know how to look. I think technology in the hands of people can be decentralizing and threaten centralized control. I think Institutions are built around politics, money, control and power. I Imagine these huge bureaucratic structures that are in bed with big corporations are in survival mode because of people seeing through the bull. What they do is go to politics and contribute huge $ to implement laws and make policy at the cost of our freedom. Alot of what we are seeing is the elite structure trying to keep the centralized control of markets. At the same time attempting the power grab we saw in Germany with corporate Government partnerships.

In New York, defiant Ahmadinejad says Israel will be "eliminated"
http://news.yahoo.com/iran-prepa…
Nice, cant wait to see what Obama responds with... probably hollow promises and weak backbone rhetoric.
- The US spends more than Israel does on their defense. That is plenty.DrBombay
- as much as Bush did, lolutopian
- vs the GOP sabre rattling? Maybe mitt could hold a press conference and pre-declare war?aaux
- aaux- maybe so. not. come on dude. its not about going to war, but not being apologetic to their bullshit.whhipp
- so the GOP supports big talk and no action? that would be OK with you?aaux
- How about being balanced and viewing things from more than a "I'm American, GFY world" perspective?aaux
- Yes, bc the leader of the free world must respond to every crazy idiot out thereTheBlueOne

GOOD FIND!utopian - deep seeded philosophy.whhipp
- "Deep-seated," Einstein.waterhouse
- Can we assume romney is pro abortion and socialized medicine, then?aaux
- Also that he firmly supports stem cell research on embryonic tissue?aaux
- Assault weapons should be banned, according to pre-presidential romney as well.aaux
- sorry waterhouse. my bad. and auxx what are you getting at? Romney is closer to your candidate than you first thought?whhipp
- assumed?whhipp
- My point is that those ideas would easily get him run out of any GOP convention. Yet you assume a 14 year oldaaux
- video of obama should be considered as his 100% current stance.aaux
- We should then assume you also believe in basically everything obama is running on, right?aaux
- no he is anti business and pro government dependance -destined to fail. government cannot run without the money generated from business.whhipp
- generated from business.whhipp
- So no tax breaks the, right? By your own logic.aaux
- No buddy. Less government spending. Shit.whhipp
- Are you saying Obama is a flip flopper? lol. They all say shyt to get elected but they are the same. Obama is bush.yurimon
- No saying that their arguments are just the same from the other side.whhipp
