I know what you mean. I am coming to believe that no good deed goes unpunished.

Islam is not a religeon in the sense Americans think of religeous sects. It is a form of government instituted by Allah who directs followers to kill all infidels who do not submit to Islam (or pay a special tax to exist in a secondary citizenship). The animosity rode out of Arabia on a camel about 628. Long before the Crusades. Study your Koran, it is all there.

Dimocratic politicians don't live in a fantasy world. They have figured out to a T how to exploit the ignorant, lazy and incompetent elements of the population. They could care a fig less about the welfare of their constituents as long as the get the votes and they are experts in exploiting class warfare.

See above post, we cashed out in the expensive, and usually cold states and moved south and southwest to states with reasonable cost of living and taxes. If you insist on living in one of the over regulated, over taxed areas , that is your choice. But why should the working public support your choice any more than they should support people in areas like Flint, MI. No work any more, move to where the work is.

We left NY, CA, NV and moved places like NM where proterty taxes are non existant in comparison to the three states mentioned. I pay an annual property tax in NM that would not pay the monthly portion of the NY property tax (Syracuse) on a similar property. The same goes for many other expenses inflicted by the state governments.

I remember a Jewish comedian who took up this subject many years ago when the sports team nonsense started. He said it should be considered a compliment. A name that inspired the opponents to respect the ability of the team, maybe even fear them a little. Then he went into a speil of names like " The Shaker Heights Hebes". Doesn't really inspire your opponents to fear you. I will forgo the rest, but you get the idea. His audience was wild with appaluse from that first one on through his 30 minute routine. This whole business of looking for something to be offended by has worn out it's welcome in most circles. Manipulating ignorant, uneducated, voters, many of whom are worse racist than the typical Liberal could even imagine,...

If you believe the crap you are spouting, you are a thoroughly indoctrinated Union Slug.

The "workers government" in the USSR is an excellent of government and unions. The standard joke in Russia just before the collapse of the USSR was:"When we quit pretending to work, and they quit pretending to pay us to work, the whole thing will collapse." Guess what? It did. Unions only protect the corrupt, the incompetent and lazy. The good workers are ripped off to buy politicians and pay corrupt union officials. I was forced to belong to a union to work on two ocassions and later worked in management. Anyone else with experience knows what I say is true. If this continues past 2012, the US as we love it, is gone, the parasites will consume the carcass of what is left.

Luddites were always socialist or do I have it backward: Socialist were always Luddites.

What is new about liberals just picking a number and then holding forth as fact. Tell a lie oftern enough you even believe it your self. Do it long enough and even the lazy "investigative" reporters start quoteing it as fact. Goebble"s principle.
