Yes, I am an Angry Man!

Thanks Buddy old pal, and master debater I could actually have a good debate with! :)

The Capitalist have sold us out, we need to break the machine, throw ourselves onto the gears if thats what it takes!

Yes! Capitalism is a good system but not to where they've taken it. They've got us in an abusive relationship and we need to file a restraining order on their greedy asses.

God I wish it was that easy! :)

I do like me some Harry Truman, I think that was Harry!

Yup.

Thanks for being there!

Thanks Wyley, right on for supporting the show as well!

Thanks my friend, sorry it took so long to get back to you! Worked that friday night graveyard shift again! :)

Thanks my friend, that was a really nice comment! I think it's why I like driving for a living, roll the window down and let the fresh air tickle my brain and think. :)

kenny, SIBob is a very nice guy. I'm glad to know him.

kenny--this was said to you by someone else.
"However, I fail to see anything other than an angry man unable to accept the way the world is--and to find some sort of real happiness in how good each and every one of us has it."

Just how many of us have it so damn good? I suppose that the plates of shit the 1%
leave us to eat is something we should be thankful for. The blanket statement of how "good" we all have it and how we all sit on our asses doing nothing to improve our lot in life, (which is pretty contradictory on its face to begin with), is quite an omnipotent piece of knowledge this person has. A blanket statement not worth directly addressing for its total cluelessness of our reality.

Thank you Colleen, you are very nice also.

They expect us to thank them for the opportunity of giving up everything we have, including, ultimately, our lives. I just want to know when the Soylent Green factories will go up. I'm sure it will be announced as another victory for American capitalism and an example of a rebounding economy, (and a celebration of "green" recycling). Maybe it can be looked on as a needed sacrifice to the young who cannot be bothered with supporting 80 million old baby boomers. What we can do for our country! Do you think the right-wing radicals would be happy with that, or do we have to die in public view, as an example to those who follow, (that this is what happens to entitlement-lovers)?

It was a Libertarian, of course! :)

He certainly is, I like to think I know him as well! :)

You're welcome, Bob and thank you. :)

Bob,
Your comment says it all. That's the size of it and it's not far fetched. This is exactly what it's coming to.

Nuff said, kenny! :)

Thanks my friend!

We will have to fill in the blanks!

Precisely proving my point.

http://1.al

why its number one right now is because 1.a lot of news comes through and passes bye regardless so why the hell not. 2. because Kenny's first paragraph is step 1. to getting currents commentator communities CREDIBILITY BACK. current as a community has lost its credibility because comments like yours

a'lil help is better then no help wouldn't you agree?

adn 3 beacse people can VOTE IT UP! !@@!

Well said, I wonder why his name Buddha?

he probably got a Buddha belly :P
but seriously.....
the player hater with the false name tag that's been changed so many times to conceal that its only one hater. (or a few people who are against current for various reasons)
but seriously....
if someone changed there name to bruceleefan123. its harder to think of them as some douchbag middle school kid wit ha alcoholic republican dad.. or maybe a democratic dad,who knows ( you know how rebellious kids are ahahahah)

but seriously

you cant get rid of people like that.. its a flaw in the message board anonymity.
making it harder for people to come together as a singular power on-line might seem like a draconian goal but that what its for.

that or hes a overzealous current fan whos tired of the lack of physical action like "occupy"
and constantly seeing efforts pushed aside in well.. a draconian way.

yada mean yada yo , got'a go

~keep the back hand strong~~

I will do just that, nice to see you again!

Thanks deane, I haven't seen you for a while, how you doing?

Good. Still keeping up with current.

Thanks, our numbers are climbing!

I know I'll be unpopular but hey ...that was quite the comeback. What say you Kenny?

Hardly a comeback at all I'd say, just a disgruntled Libertarian!

Always with the expected uninformed knowledge of where my shoes have walked and stood for in the streets. I only hope when your my age you have grown wiser and less cocky and maybe, just maybe some respect for your elders!

Excellent and important point. A red flag should go up when people DEMAND something from others without showing any desire to make an effort to EARN what they want.

Now from what I've seen on this post thus far, thats 3 or 4 insults from you too me. But since I'm the bigger man I'll walk away from you. Oh who's on that Libertarian ticket this year? Ooops maybe that was an insult, sorry! :)

Don't know why you would say that. He's got my respect.

I shall remember that! :)

Thanks Ziggy, on with the show!

Thank you Ziggy, Kenny.

Thanks for the offer, it could happen! Keep em chillin. :)

I meant all of you. d; )- ~~

Thanks my friend, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

That is precisely the reason that we should have gone along with George W. Bush's proposal to privatize "social security."

Let me put it this way: Imagine you just turned 30 with a reasonably good job. If you had the choice of putting your (and your employer's contribution) into government SS or a savings plan of your choice (money market, stocks, even government bonds), which would you take?

Yes, it will be worse for the next two years. It will be worse with B. Hussein Obama at the helm for the rest of this year, of course.

Then, when Republicans get the executive and Senate in 54 weeks, they will scupper ObambiCare, cut spending, reduce welfare and rouse the people, but - just as with the great Ronald Reagan - it will take at least a year to begin to see the results of sensible, non-Leftist government.

So, take heart. Only about two more years.

And let the wall street fat cats walk away with my hard earned money? I might be dumb, but I'm not stoopid.

You have been duped into believing what you wrote. That is unfortunate.

But possibly I am wrong. Please tell me, in concrete terms, how they "took" your money.

"duped" you say? So I guess all the Enron investors made the right move to. They were the smart ones, right? I should trust wall street with my retirement. Ooookaaaay. Let me guess, your a shrewd investor who scams people out of money. Am I close?

I did not think you would be able to tell me how they "took" your money, of course. It is obvious you have been duped and you are just a mindless parrot who has not thought through his pronouncements that simply make him feel better. I suppose it helps advert the onus of one's own failures to the outside, to others, to some abstract entity, rather than look at one's own actions.

Um...I never said anyone took my money. I said I'm not stupid enough to let them. Do you even read what people say before you reply?

You are from what I've read a very confused individual! Good luck with that!

Hay idiot, who was at the helm for 8 years before 2008? Your right wing "Policies" are not only idiotic, but genocidal as well, got more excuses?

I guess he prefers ceaser Bush trickling effect. Duped by the right he must be. Hahaha!

Still sticking to that "It's all Bush's fault," eh? Well, well, well. It is either that, or branding someone a racist, or saying that they "lack compassion," or screaming "liar." Can't you people come up with anything creative?

Really?

OK, let me juxtapose your two statements. Tell me what any reasonable and normal person would conclude:

"And let the wall street fat cats walk away with my hard earned money?"

Next:

"I never said anyone took my money."

You people. All the same. Like to parrot the cliches and talking points, but when it comes down to it, you cannot defend or even begin to explain your drivel.

That is easy. If I were younger, I would have picked the private fund. It would provide a better retirement income.

+^d

"you people"? What the f ick you mean "you people". Please explain because a statement like that sounds racist. Or are you better than me somehow?

ronald reagan was a god in your eyes.as he is for a lot of people that cant see the truth
he added to the national debt.was involved in iran contra now what was it ollie was doing trading arms for drugs then selling them something like that.it goes on and on.the national debt today is the result of republican a war all over the world in order to make their buddies tons of money.dont get me wrong i dont think the dems are any better.open your eyes their all screwing us and have been for years

So your trying to tell me Willard Romney a real Corporate raider and job killer's going to be a better President than Obama? Please.....

It should be obvious from the post who "You People" are.

"You People" are the ones who promote hatred of capitalism but cannot support your ideology of wealth confiscation.

"You People" refuse to look at yourselves but instead blame society, culture and the "evil rich" for your own failings.

"You People" spout talking points from Rachel MadCow and MSNBC and Leftist comedians and cannot even explain them when asked.

"You People" only name-call when challenged on anything you say.

And "You People" do exactly what you did in the post to me: Make charges of racism, lack of compassion, or whatever else you can dream up, only to advert the topic to something else because you can never do anything but parrot what you are told.

One thing is certain about "You People": You may not know HOW to think, but you know what you are SUPPOSED to think!

Liberals cannot accept that the American people can be inspired by a restoration of our Founding principles, and Ronald Reagan did just that. It is antithesis of their credo of the formation and management of a new society. They are hostile to the idea of the embodiment of our Founders and deem it to be antiquated and unenlightened. But the people voted and gave Ronald Reagan one of the greatest electoral victories in our history, and he remains one of the most popular presidents in our entire history.

Liberals will never forgive Ronald Reagan for elevating William Rehnquist to the highest position in the Supreme Court and putting Antonin Scalia there, followed by his vice president, George H. W. Bush, when he was president, nominating Clarence Thomas.

From the point of view of the New Left and today’s Liberals, one of Ronald Reagan’s greatest sins was uniting Conservatives’ he moved Conservatism from the fringes to the mainstream. As Alfred Regnery wrote in Upstream: The Ascendance of American Conservatism:

“Reagan took the [conservative] movement’s ideas, communicated them to the American people in understandable terms, and applied them to practical politics. His political march moved the conservative cause from the fringes to the mainstream… He pulled the anti-Communists, libertarians, economic conservatives, traditionalists, the Christian right, and even neoconservatives into a powerful coalition.”

Ronald Reagan welcomed all and was the person who took action. Among Conservatives, there are, and have been, free-market economists, traditionalists, social conservatives, anti-communists, isolationists, libertarians and the religious right. Ronald Reagan made a home for them and encouraged all to find common ground. Ronald Reagan EMBODIED America.

Ronald Reagan possessed a clear vision. He understood something in the world anathema to our Founding Principles – Communism - and called it what is was without reservation: EVIL. He saw similar forces at home and could bring America’s attention to it without fomenting hate. After Ronald Reagan welcomed all Americans under his broad umbrella and exposed the Left for what it was, many deserted that camp and united under Reagan.

The most notable of these were the “Neoconservatives.” Jeane Kirkpatrick, for instance, was one of the Left who came to the Reagan Conservative camp and became Ambassador to the United Nations. Something Kirkpatrick said clearly demonstrated how far these people had come from the New Leftist mentality that had constantly resulted in the disparaging, attacking and vilifying of America: “Americans need to face the truth about themselves, no matter how pleasant it is."

Yep! I have already made up my mind for whom I will vote next November: Whoever is going against Obama.

First of all, you don't know me. Don't pretend you do. Second, who is this Rachel you speak of? I've never heard of her. Third,.when you say "you people", that does sound racist. And finally, I'm done wasting my time on a brain washed right winger like yourself. Good day,.sir.

You have chosen the typical route: Label the person and then refuse to explain your own positions or substantiate the branding. I am not surprised. This is PRECISELY why I say "you people" because you are adhering to the pattern.

BINGO we have a winner, nicely and eloquently said alice! :))

It is important to direct your anger in the right direction - At those who would empower government. It seems that many who complain about the putative "rich" and postulate that they are controlling us, are misinformed.

It is collusion with government that is the source of the problem. Too much lobbying. Do you know that the unions, for example, are the top 14 of the 16 BIGGEST contributors to political campaigns? And that UNION payments in political campaigns put receiving politicians in their pockets? Why are there no complaints in that direction, for example?

But what I see is certain coteries demanding MORE government control and power when we should be demanding less. These claques clamoring for MORE spending when we need to cut back everything. These energumen insisting on MORE government management and control of the economy when to do so will eviscerate the private sector.

It is OUR government, Only With Sincerity TAKE. IT. BACK!

Pwr 2 the peons!

No, I am responding to "loser" claptrap.

Excellent post! Also, thank you for mentioning my former senator, Russ Feingold. I miss him dearly. You bet he never minced words!

It is well established that many anti-capitalists are that way because of personal failures. They do not want to recognize this in themselves, so they look outward.

This is not debateable; it is recognizable human nature, and all of us do it at one time or another. It can happen in losing a game (he cheated), in being passed over in work (the boss plays favorites), losing in love (she was a #$@ anyway or I was going to dump her), or a poor grade (teacher isn't fair).

The anti-capitalists provide the perfect scapegoat: Corporations. They give the message, "Hey, it is not your fault, it is the corporations or the rich!" Perfect excuse for LOSERS.

There are jobs. One might have to move, lower one's standard of living, give up the flat-screen TV and meals out, or take jobs one does not like, of course. But if we look at these whiners, they are failures themselves.

A coworker I know complains that there are no jobs for his son. He thinks his son actually DESERVES a job in his field.

And WHY? What is the rationale? Because he worked hard to finish college and spent four years of his life studying in his field. (Anthropology).

Do you think he "deserves" a job in his field? I sincerely would like to know, and encourage others to answer.

I await your cogent response.

Fabulous response! I eagerly await the next well-thought out, high percepient post from you.

Well said!
