    No, no, no. Please, we need as many people as possible to recognize the disease, not the symptoms only, if we're going to fix this and prevent it from happening again.

    The problem is unrestrained deficit spending. If the funds were untouched (as they were intended to be), this wouldn't be a crisis. It's the ability, heck the policy of government, to deficit spend through printing money, transferring surpluses balances and soliciting credit.

    The Founders warned us about this. They tried to construct the Constitution to prevent it.

    It's the legacy of Keynes, and it's an ugly one.

    They were far from 'alex jones' they were the truth on how the numbers are done. The repubs ripped Clinton a new asshole for doing math the same way, I should know I was one who did the ripping.

    But now that it's Bush lets forget about the reality

    Of course. In a small minded world, anyone who questions the government must be under the influence of drugs. That's the insinuation.

    Some days, I don't feel like there is hope. A dark side of me would like to see the stupid people get what they have coming to them. Luckily, the better side of my human nature usually wins out.

    There is a big difference between questioning something and a community induced paranoia.


    Of course there is NO hope.. It's all doom and gloom... :rolleyes:

    Well, what there seems to be, is the attitude that might makes right. That shouting someone down, or slandering them discredits what they have to say.

    I am not saying this specifically about your posts, yet I did see it in a recent post - MOST of the time someone is saying they are questioning, they are usually making statements as though they are facts.

    Don't questions usually have a question mark? <-- like that?

    So the comment get under my skin whenever I read it now because it has been so untrue most of the time -->

    No, because anything he questions, IS fact... And only that speech which he approves is Free Speech...

    It's all very one sided if you ask me... Not exactly what I would expect from someone touting the very opposite in terms of what they preach with regards to one RP...
