symbolnotmine that is funny. It is now about me, huh? every time you clowns do that somebody else reports the offensive posts and gets these comic book threads deleted. is that your goal? How about staying on topic and answering for karl marx's failed delusions with something credible? you are just appeasing the bondage you are in as you find yourself up there in the cold wilderness of lesser covetousness. We got the better weather to be sure. In California especially. Every libtard has come here from everywhere to claim this real estate and still this country thrives without the stumbling of the blind incompetence of socialism and communism as forms of government. The looney leftists make it easy to make a living in the Bay Area by virtue of their laisse-faire embrace and their elitist pretentions in assuming that this great state is theirs. LOL. By the way, look for an Islamic theocracy to visit your neighborhood soon. they are coming in droves. Europe is already pandering to their brand of demogoguery as the next best latest and greatest. We will watch the comedy from here, thank you very much. nobama 2008

Considering the supposed "welfare state" here in our country is almost non existant, to ride on the old philosophies is to still cling to the old racist credo of this countries founding peoples. If a person applies for welfare here, they are required to do job search or short term training to get them off the program, the same with housing, foodstamps and childcare. So there is no more "welfare state" as the old racists would have people believe. I know this for a fact because I worked these programs for years and helped to institute the changes when welfare reform came through due to Clinton's welfare reform. It is sad to see so many who still buy into these old racist philosphies in this country, no wonder we are in the state we are in. Education is the key to end ignorance.

Who is bashing 'us?' No one is bashing me. I am of free will to make charitable 'among my brothers' without the hypocrisy's of standing on the sidelines choosing which person is worthy of my brotherhood by where they had no choice of birth. I am floored when anyone takes a political stand in regards to human worth. Shame. But know- we all feel pain-hunger and loss at some point in our lives- some just feel it every day of their lives by circumstances out of their control. And if the only comment someone has is 'it's their governments fault', -- basically who cares they suffer because a government is foul? Darfur people have suffered in ways you could never imagine- this is their lives.. And many other peoples lives around the world. I imagine this will fall on dead eyes. You talk about condescending? You want our husbands, sons, and daughters to serve you in wars and die for you, but you won't do something as selfless as be in kind to the many who have not a meal to eat? You don't want to serve? But our military should go serve for you? And know, whatever is affecting other countries does directly/indirectly affect us. One shouldn't be so blind eye'd to the cycles and full circles this is taking. Day after day, Tell them to take it up with their government? Serious? wow

Look, fighting global poverty is nice and all, if you want you can sponsor a child or give money to charity, but I will be damned if the government takes my tax dollars just to give it to poor people in another country. Those tax dollars are to improve our situations at home.

If you believe in one ounce of your soul people choose to live in hunger and deplorable situations, watching their family members and children killed in front of them, I believe there should be some serious soul searching. Rationality yells-- anyone with a choice would NOT live in such a way of life. Could you imagine living in a world where you had to grab your kids and run to a camp out of your city because of hostiles. A camp where Malaria is running rampid among many other diseases because they are so over populated in such a small area they are living in their own waste and death. How are they to do anything about that? It is human slaughter. On any level knowing that and not doing something is wrong. And, yes they have feed the children, and the sites you can donate money for those mosquito nets, there are all kinds of causes. But that wasn't my question in my post. I stated the simple fact as you (blanket term) feel it's ok for our sons, daughters, and husbands to go fight these wars to serve you. But you are to good to serve? It's beneath you? Military should go die for something you don't believe is worth the very thought of the government? Yet---Because McCain is Military that is the base for his wave into the White House. Presidency is executive, not military. The president has no powers to declare war. This is in place for checks and balances of powers. It is known that it is a conflict of interest when x military become president. Look in your history books. None of these modern day presidents were out in the battle fields, leading a army-- well you shouldn't need to look- you know where they park it. The modern day X Military Presidents did things that were way out of their scope of presidency. That is why there is a big uproar in congress right now. Because of what has been happening. Now we are becoming thinned out, our military from Iraq.. Countries declaring war on other countries.. What is that? Anyone with ANY common sense knows why that happened. That is the big difference between then and now. When Presidents back in history, that had been Military were out commanding and fighting/leading in the battles this was a whole other ballgame my friends. That is why there is that check and balance system in there. And that is why control over the military is Civilian. Not military controlling the military. It does not work like that. And anyone that responds to me that can't have debate issues w/out attacking, don't bother- Calling anyone out of their name is not impressing anyone, that is elementary- I'm here for clean debates/conversation, I am not against anyone-- I want a good life for my kids- And I don't want humans suffering. My daughter will be going into the Military next year, and this is not in no way 'funny antics' time for me. I am doing my part, through volunteering and preparing for future missionary work. It isn't always about giving money. My teens do missionary every year they can during spring break, out of the country-and volunteer. Helping other countries is so much more then handing them a dime.

I sit here reading comments from people like symbelmyne, and sit here and wonder why in the hell would I want to help the rest of the world. She does nothing but put down America just like you liberals. They Curse us and then want to except our money with a smile. HELL NO!! NOBAMA!!!!
