First of all, the people need to break free from the Democrat party that has always kept them down with their dependency policies, their propaganda and their constant attacks on their self-worth by constantly telling them they are victims.. The right needs to go out and reach out to the black community. We need to listen to them and their concerns, and we need to inform them of things that the Dems and leftists have kept them in the dark about. We can help them to realize the truth and break free from their stagnation. But it takes effort. Not only effort from many of us on the right but also effort from the black community to be willing to listen with an open mind.

Thank you, FishingBuddy! It amazes me how many people are so ignorant of economics and finance. They hear these cliches from the left with no basis in fact and believe them as if they are true. Our country suffers from mass ignorance, lack of proper education and intellectual laziness these days. It frightens me because people like NotSybil vote based on that false propaganda. One more thing....investing is not the same as "trading". Investing is long term. "Day trading" is not investing--it's basically gambling. Self-help gurus in the 90s who sold programs on how to trade, were merely misleading greedy, gullible people in order to enrich themselves selling worthless "advice". One should only buy stocks for long-term investment.

You are right...they do know what they are doing.

Exactly!! You took the words right out of my mouth!!!

That chart is complete fabrication. Regardless, you are asking about the recession that seems to have started in 08 (not 07 as you claim). Every economy goes through business cycles of up and down turns. The problem is that toward the end of '08, the consequences of bad policies that actually began back in the 70s under Carter were coming to fruition. The housing market bubble which culminated and burst at that time. But it wasn't Bush's policies that created that mess. Those policies started with the Community Reinvestment Act and expanded under Clinton with enforcement. Not to mention ACORN going to banks and blackmailing/extorting them to make loans to people who could not afford to take them. That is just a small part.

How do you think the customers have money to spend on goods and services in the first place??

Leftists can't handle facts...Facts challenge their belief systems and these people cannot handle any challenge to their belief systems. That is how they define themselves as a person. If you tell them their whole life is a lie, their heads will explode! So, they fight tooth and nail to prove they are right (when they aren't) and if they have nothing to back them up, they resort to ad hominem attacks or they deflect their own shortcomings on others.

You are right! There is a big market in human body parts...especially those that come from abortion clinics.

Anyone who advocates for partial birth abortion or "fourth trimester" abortion is just plain evil. That is murder. Any killing of a viable human being is murder. Peter Singer advocated the killing of a child up to age 2. That is sick, demented and evil. And this woman quoted in the article who embraces and "loves" abortion is just like Singer. Yes, the left are immoral and have no ethics. Theirs is a world of selfishness and self-centeredness. They don't care about anyone but themselves. They pretend to care, but it is all a façade meant to manipulate others into believing they have the moral high ground (which they don't).

(Continued 2) Up to 25% miscarry in the first 6 weeks. That number drops by the second month to about 10%. After the third month , however, the fetus stabilizes and no longer is likely to miscarry. Features also become more detailed. From here on, it becomes more and more likely that the fetus will become a complete and whole human being. Since the line becomes more solidified in this period, it would be more likely that you are now impacting a newly forming individual who would very likely survive birth and be a full, complete human being with sentience. So, for me, I accept the cut-off at the first trimester mark. After that, I believe the unborn child should have the same right to life as anyone else.
