    I get it - don't give you any facts, you're racist mind is already made up. You're not just a racist, you're an apologist for racism. And don't forget, Zimmerman's Daddy's a Judge, so that's another reason his shit don't stink.

  • Sprucing Up Suppression: Pennsylvania GOP Proposes New Election-Rigging Scheme   11 years 14 weeks ago

    It saddens me to see folks have so little interest in their own government. A government that regulates every aspect of their lives and so few people even know how it works! They would rather believe someone with an ax to grind generating concocted stories via chain letters on the Internet then pick up the phone and call a legislator/official to ask questions. Check out sources folks. Learn who your Mayor is and what party he represents at the very least! Gesch!
    PAY attention folks before it’s too late to do anything.

  • Four States Introduce Keystone XL Resolutions, Lifting Language from ALEC and TransCanada Itself   11 years 14 weeks ago

    When are "the people" going to get it?

    ....BIG business is not a friend to "the people". When are "the people" going to pay attention to all this happening right under their noses?

    No excuse people; listen, read up and research your politicians. Get rid of ALEC loving politicians for your own safety!!!ALEC wants to own the USA and it’s up to "we the people" to stop them!

    Excellent comment. You really incitefully zoomed in on the underlying cause of the symptomatic problems we are having.

  • Democracy Now! Interviews Lisa Graves and John Nichols About Exposing "Fix the Debt" Campaign   11 years 14 weeks ago

    Let the Kleptocratic Larcenists fail. Break up the behemoth banks. Do not subsidize them. They are strangling the life out of us, and are nothing but greedy vampire squid zombies who want to make us their slaves. The President, the Congress, and We the People can do this. FDR stood up to these Fascists, and we can too. We must, while there is still a planet left. The Private Central Banking Club that is the Fed, and Wall Street, and the gargantuan corporations want to Sequester us even more? How dare they. We can't let them do it.

  • Lords of Disorder: Billions For Wall Street, Sacrifice For Everyone Else   11 years 14 weeks ago

    We are told by grifters (the bought democrats and republicans, who are the revolving door puppets of Wall Street and the casino lobbyistslike) that we can't have the Post Office, or decent health care, or Social Security, or Medicare, or Medicaid, and must take cuts upon cuts to basic services. This is the Shock Doctrine, and they thrive on crisis after crisis. This is Austerity. Get those greedy bastidges out - -the Wall Street Casino, the Private Central Bankers, the lobbyists the Greedy Midases who pull the strings of "We the Puppets". We don't want their noose around our necks. We can't afford THEM. They will not stop until they have drained all our lifeblood. We have the money, and Congress has the money, but they also want our Social Safety Nets. Get the bastidges out.

  • Conversation with "Fix the Debt," Help Count the Pinocchios   11 years 14 weeks ago

    Why did Congress compose, orchestrate and conduct the Sequester? Because they want to take the Social Safety Nets. The Sequester is abominable, hideous, and one of the most blatant signs that Congress is a revolving door for the greedy part of the 1%.
    The President and Congress did not have to do this. We didn't vote for them to take our money. We don't want more Austerity. Look around the world and see how it doesn't work. We have the money to rebuild this country. But it is being funneled to the behemoth Corporations and the Wall Street Central Banking System, which has a bottomless pit for an appetite. We the People must stop this idiocracy.

  • On Anniversary of Trayvon Martin's Death, ALEC-Backed Stand Your Ground Laws Remain on Books   11 years 15 weeks ago

    The only Bias regarding George Zimmerman is your bias. I agree with the other comment regarding your lack of schooling. It is quite obvious your view of the situation is colored by your own ignorance.

  • "Racial Entitlements?" Long-Term Effort to End Voting Rights Act and Affirmative Action May Finally Pay Off   11 years 15 weeks ago

    This BS is insidious and disgusting. I'd be more wiling to sign a bill preventing baby boomers from having anything to do with the politics in this country ever again, then sign away voter rights and affirmative action. You don't like the programs? Reform them. You want to save money for the country? Defund the Dept of Defense. This is a country for all people, not plutocratic old white men hell bent on destroying whatever prevents them from keeping every dime they make off of slave labor. Anyone ho even thinks this is an OK topic to bring to the table after undermining a class of people for over 400 years needs to be very, VERY ashamed of themselves. Greed is so g'dam'ed UGLY! There's a special place in hell for this lot.

  • On Anniversary of Trayvon Martin's Death, ALEC-Backed Stand Your Ground Laws Remain on Books   11 years 15 weeks ago

    Treyvon Martin was suspended from school for drugs at the time he assaulted zimmerman..."

    Oh, so it was open season on kids suspended from school for drugs.

    ...hense all of the attention they raised about the case instead of mourning their sons death quietly like most people would have done."

    So, if their son had been shot to death by some armed, adrenaline-junky vigilante out hunting for hoodies and the cops hadn't arrested his killer, you think "most people" would just "mourn quietly" and not raise the cry for justice? You yourself would have just "mourned quietly"? Yeah, right.

    If Zimmerman hadn't been armed he might have thought twice before he went looking for trouble, especially from somebody who looked as menacing as you think Trayvon Martin did; Martin would have just gone home with his snacks, and the whole thing would never have happened.

    The more guns in circulation, the more violence we'll have. It's that simple.

  • Peterson’s Puppet Populists   11 years 15 weeks ago

    So are you saying there is no issue with the debt? Dean Baker seems to think that the debt is not a problem, others do. One potential isue on the horizon: any normalization of interest rates will explode the line item for interest to service that debt. Maybe not a catastrophe but potentially a huge problem ( much greater than the $85 billion in sequestration cuts that could be coming)

    Thanks for your comment. Interestingly CREDO decided to target MSNBC for this lack of disclosure, check out their action here:

    WOW! I suggest you immediately return to school as it is painfully obvious that you slept through all your classes the first time.

  • On Anniversary of Trayvon Martin's Death, ALEC-Backed Stand Your Ground Laws Remain on Books   11 years 15 weeks ago

    This article is biased and full of mis-imformation. Is is so blatently biased that it has some of the same imformation that caused abc news to be sued. George zimmerman could site the stand your ground law but he is hasen't in his court case. He dosent have too because he was blatently attacked by the 6'3" treyvon martin who doubled back and came out of the dark and attacked zimmerman and literally was banging zimmermans head into the concrete in the middle of the night. Zimmerman is only using a defence of "self defence" in his court case. This article is eitheir a blatent lie or poorly researched. Zimmerman lawfully pulled out his gun and shot martin before he was knocked out and possibly killed. Treyvon Martins assault on zimmerman was a third degree felony assault of aggravated assault in the state of florida and carries a 20 year sentance. Treyvon Martin was suspended from school for drugs at the time he assaulted zimmerman. Treyvon Martins father and his fathers "baby mamma" and their attorney "Benjamin Crump" can not sue anyone and make money off of their sons death unless Zimmerman is convicted of a crime hense all of the attention they raised about the case instead of mourning their sons death quietly like most people would have done.

    I'm ashamed to say my fellow Americans know more about the lame "stars" on "Dancing with the Stars" and "Survivor" then their own Mayor, never mind their state and federal legislators!

  • Peterson’s Puppet Populists   11 years 15 weeks ago

    Ed Rendell is on the central committee of Fix the Debt. Yet MSNBC continues giving him airtime, and I have yet to hear them provide a disclaimer when he's introduced. Why not? Regardless, every time it happens, I lose a bit more respect for them.

  • Bills to Label Genetically Engineered Foods Introduced in Illinois and Iowa   11 years 15 weeks ago

    I am just about ready to move to a country where the food supply is SAFE and not stuffed full of chemicals. Why don't the companies provide the US population with the same food products they ship overseas - free of chemicals, additives, and genetically engineered products. We need to adopt some of the same food safety laws as Sweden, Italy, and other industrialized third world countries. They do not allow all these chemicals. Companies need to get back to natural food production and quit worrying about shelf life in this country. Studies are coming out that prove their is a link to these chemicals resulting in obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. We need to make these companies listen - stop buying their products - by imported food products. Let their contaminated food products sit on the grocery shelves. That is the only way we can get their attention. DON'T BUY PROCESSED FOOD PRODUCTS.

    It is the elitists and corportations and their agreed for money that is going to bring this country to its knees - the Middle Class at some point will show their force and stand up to these corrupt individuals and entities. It will be a very sad day for America. Today we are seeing capitalism at its worst.

The free world is on the edge not just us! Boiling Frogs using Stockholm syndrome physiology they us outrageous bills to scare us when their #1 goal is "Universal Background checks" sounds innocent enough until you do a little investigating....East India ad for jobs in United States "No Experience necessary" The persons job your taking will be forced to train you!
