As soon as OWS gets together and actually comes up with a coherent message, all of those fringe guys are going to leave. Who's going to be left? It definitely isn't going to be as effective as the Tea Party. OWS is like a vuvuzela. Great for making nose, not so great for actually creating a dialogue that can get things changed.

Seems to me that most of the protesters, at least from what I've seen, are the idle adolescents. The ones who aren't working jobs and have time to aimlessly stand around and make noise. They go to class three times a week and then go back to whatever it is they like to do with their time. The thing that gets me is that the Tea Party, while also chock-full of idiots, very quickly managed to shut up the fringe and transform their nebulous "We don't like what's going on" message into a very focused, clear-cut "This is what we want." OWS can't do that because they have so many different movements glomming onto the parade. You have everyone from Save the Whales to gay pride activists to people declaring that the Communist Revolution is at hand.

And what's IN that cultural center, pray tell? If a Christian group builds a "cultural center" with a day care, a gym, a library, and a church, what are they building there?

And you honestly believe that the healthcare reform will actually help those people?

Most people in this country can afford health insurance; they choose not to because they instead have other things that they want. They trade their security for a big-screen TV or a new car or crack or whatever.

The idea that we have an enormous underclass of "have-nots" is flawed. Most of those "40 Million Americans Without Health Insurance" for whose benefit all of this "reform" is being done for will gain health insurance later in their lives. Of course, by that time they will be replaced by the next generation of people. We are not a classist society; people start poor and gain skills as they grow older.

They made the trade-off....

must mean that global warming is upon us! Hahaha! It doesn't have to make sense! We're in charge, and all we have to do is claim that you're a Holocaust denier and you'll go away! Hahahaha!

The debate is over. Its moderators and judges - the people - have spoken. We will not sacrifice our hard-earned prosperity for the sake of a bunch of morons' eco-socialist dreams.

Yes, Al Gore, the debate is over. The problem is that you're not on the winning side.

Thanks to abortion, only 1 fetus out of 5 makes it to birth in Russia. The Russians are killing themselves faster than anything else can.

When you stop caring about the next generation, you destroy the society that does so. Abortion, which is by definition the destruction of the next generation, will prove to be more destructive than nukes, anthrax, assault rifles, or disease to society.

Europe is already experiencing that - because of abortion, none of them are breeding at replacement rate. So, they simply take humans from elsewhere... like Yemen and Morocco. In fifty years, Europe will be Islamist, and the West will consist of America, New Zealand, Australia, and maybe Canada if they manage to pull their heads out of...

only to the liberals. We just see it as something that a politician does, and promising to do otherwise is like a snake promising not to bite when you pick it up.

Poor DailyKos, they were bitching about it when Bush did it. What will they do now that Obama sees the necessity of doing the same?

from boot camp at Parris Island to find that the highest man in my chain of command doesn't know how to pronounce the job that saves the lives of me and my brothers in arms. Awesome. I know I spent hours after hours of screaming "Sir! This recruit's commander in chief is The Honorable Mr. Obama." Is it too much to expect him to take FIVE SECONDS out of his day to learn how to pronounce the jobs of the people under his command?

I'm not expecting him to be a brilliant general; he's a civilian, after all. But that kind of indifference toward people under his command is something that just infuriates me.

I had a few friends who went off to college at UMass Amherst. They were living off of Mom and Dad's weekly checks, and were there to party.

Unfortunately for their party lifestyle, their weekly checks didn't cover booze and food at the same time.

So, they did what any financially intelligent freshman would do - they got credit cards, used them to pay for Jagerbombs and Milwaukee's Best, and tried to pay off the cards with the checks they got at the end of the week.

The balances started building up, and by the end of the year each of them had several thousand dollars in credit card debt.

So what did they do? Duh, they went and got it paid off by Mom and Dad.

They're now juniors, and they did the exact...

I'm not an adult - I'm eighteen, and I know that I have a lot to learn about the world. But you are a child, even if you dwarf me in years. You can sit there all you like in your chair, posting snarky gibberish about "Good Riddance to the Minority Party," but nothing will change the fact that you are an child in an adult's body, one who somehow missed the "Don't be a jerk to other people" lesson in kindergarten. Maybe that's why you troll. Or maybe you just like getting a rise out of people - you like that feeling of power when you antagonize someone and they can't fight back, don't you? You are the kind of person who pokes sticks at zoo animals. "Hahahaha, it can't hurt me because it's in a cage! That means I can poke it all I...
