-- Tea Party Republican Terrorists Plant Bomb in NYC
Pages (6): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 »
Fuck, I though that it was true 
I also wondered as to how Glen Beck would have responded to it
They have some video footage of a white guy around 40 years old pulling up in the Pathfinder.
Earlier there were reports on CNN that the authorities were looking into whether this was an attempted attack on Viacom (offices in Times Square) in retribution for Comedy Central airing the South Park episode feat. Muhammad in a bear outfit.
Haven't heard anything more on that one though.

Like that's a surprise?

You know what I find appalling about it? If a foreigner (or anyone from a different religion, even if American) is behind this, like in 9/11, anyone from the same community - or that just happens to look similar - is going to face a lot of prejudice. Because, you know, they're all terrorists and the whole groups is to blame for fostering Anti-American views.
But, if an American Christian did this, suddenly everyone is enlightened and the guy is going to be treated as a delusional individual, and the society that harboured him up until now has no responsibility for his actions.
This universal asymmetrical bias really gets on my nerves.

He could be more liberal. He should be more liberal. He has not gone far enough yet.
What a load of bollocks. The Medicaid prescription drug subsidy will be one of the biggest contributors to the deficit, but once again one-eyed kev misses the point.

ALICE RIVLIN, Dir., Office of Management & Budget, 1994-96: In the Clinton years, we had the "pay-go" rule, pay as you go, and that meant we couldn't pass a lot of good-sounding ideas, including Medicare prescription drugs. It's not that nobody thought of that in the '90s. A lot of people thought of it. But we couldn't pay for it. To pay for it, we would have had to have done a tax increase or cut out some other spending in major proportions, and nobody wanted to do that, so we didn't do it. FORREST SAWYER: But the Bush administration did do it. With "pay-go" no longer restraining spending, they had pushed through Medicare part D, a program that's projected over time to cost as much as $8 trillion. DAVID WESSEL: They did not come up with a way to raise taxes or cut spending somewhere else to pay for it, so they just passed this thing. It goes into law. It's a promise to elderly people that we'll pay- subsidize their drugs, and we borrow every year to pay for it. And in the end, it's more expensive than the war in Iraq because the war in Iraq ends at some point. Certainly, it will end now that Obama's president. But the prescription drug benefit will go on forever. FORREST SAWYER: It will go on forever because it's a promise made by the federal government to its citizens. Seniors are entitled to this benefit, just the as they are entitled to Social Security and Medicare itself. These entitlements are all enormously popular, but they're also enormously expensive. Medicare part D alone will cost $60 billion this year. JACKIE CALMES: The expense of that over time, unfunded liabilities for the government, at a time when more people are reaching retirement age and qualifying for Medicare, added more to the long-term obligations of the government than all of Social Security. FORREST SAWYER: Medicare part D was the largest spending bill the president signed, but there were dozens of others. During his first five years as president, with a Republican-controlled House and Senate, George Bush never vetoed a spending bill. Fiscal conservatives in his own party accused him of being the biggest spender since World War II. |
Heh, I've eaten at that McDonald's they showed the video of. Was so weird to me to have a second floor in a McDonald's.

| Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN like i said. the prescription drug subsidy bill signed into law by your best mate george w, will become the most expensive thing ever. so, why dont you tell me where exactly that bill is represented on those stupid graphs of yours and how much of the "blue" deficit is really owned by those evil democrats? |
Why is it so widely accepted that the prevailing mentality can only be "our side vs. their side", and that so few are willing to consider that it just might be "government vs. the people"?
Despite the perceived wranglings of Dems vs. Reps which most people tend to accept de facto, could there be grounds for even the slightest consideration that a lot of these people who are seen as being opponents might possibly be shaking hands with each other behind closed doors?
Far fetched, maybe, but how about the possibility that the whole terrorist car bomb ordeal was fabricated, simply to keep people suspicious and in perpetual fear of "the other guy"?
But no, it couldn't possibly be that...I mean, no sane government would consciously act against the interests of its own citizenry.
Certainly we've evolved to a level of consciousness where that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.
N'est pas?

What, grow up and close my mind to all possibilities, believing only the status quo?
But you're right, it couldn't possibly be the government's doing, as they're just looking out for the well being of average blokes like you and me, and not attempting to make the citizenry paranoid of each other in any way...
Nope
Never

Well that would kind of ruin the fun if I told you, now wouldn't it?
Like that's ever held you back.

This thread has been all kinds of stupid since the first post. And yes, TEH IRONY that I'm posting in it.
Oh well, I always figured old whiteys in 4WD's would contribute to the destruction of civilisation in some form or another.
