The real problem is that now everything has to be fact checked. Heck, there is even a debate about how many children Bachmann actually had had under her wing. Why would someone lie about adoption?

The Ryan plan was presented by multiple pundits as the "adult" plan". Now we get Haperin's comment. If Halperin is an editor deciding what goes into Time, how can we trust the magazine?

I am sick of this both sides are liars agument.

Two hours after Halperin put his foot in it, rush was screaming Dick Hussein Obama throughout his program.

To compare the lies perpetrated on FOX every hour of every day to presentations on MSNBC is ridiculous!

And to compare the attempts as negotiations by the dems to the non attempts by the repubs is blasphemy!

I was focusing on the Republicans and the debt ceiling and that the GOP was not negotiating in good faith. You wanted to go down the Bele road. I guess my answers were not satisfactory?

They got off their behinds and organized.

I see a future of organization alright, organized into armed gangs?

Those gains we made, will be looked upon as the good ol days.

The reset button is about to be pushed.

"A tribulation the world has never seen nor will ever see again".

America will become another Somalia with warlords ruling.

In case you havent noticed; the rich are leaving or have the means to escape and the corporations have left.

When Americans sort it all out, maybe they'll be more .....compliant or destoyed ?

In reply to Could it be the Republicans

In past posts, I have noted that, in general, blacks are more optimistic about the future of the country than many whites. Perhaps it because there is some knowledge about the history of blacks in the United States passed from generation to generation. There is a sense of how hard the struggle has been transmitted to the next generation.

You may not realize that organized hoodlums were used to physically assault workers who were trying to unionize to improve working conditions. Women and children had to work in sweat shops to receive meager wages. Union leaders were targeted with violence. Women and children died in a sweatshop fire because the doors were padlocked shut to insure that they couldn't take breaks. There was no easy escape.Women and children died after they jumped from upper stories of the sweatshop and shattered bones and macerated soft tissue as they hit the ground. The struggle has always been difficult.

People didn't just lay out a laundry list of everything that was wrong and give up. They got off their behinds and organized.

Could it be the Republicans know the rich will take their money and go somewhere else? They don’t need to live in America.

Corporations don't need factories in America.

Once the bankers and their rich friends were bailed out; we of the poor and middle class lost our leverage.

We can huff and puff and threaten to blow down their house, but to no avail. The rich don’t need AMERICA.

Corporations don’t need America any longer.

Sure they’ll buy our raw materials, just like any other colonizers in the past.

The bailout screwed the working class, PURPOSELY. Capitalism was saved, the peasants be damned.

Capital is free to go wherever it is more profitable.

You are free to your perspective. Bele was about to tell us about his regimental colors from an 1860s perspective. You might have missed that.

In reply to The perfect analogy. Note too

Once you get to understand a character like Bele, you can often generate a predictable Pavlovian style response that can be amusing. If you tell a Bele character that you don't like certain words, you can rest assured that Bele will respond with the words that you find objectionable.

The perfect analogy. Note too each was trying to convince the crew members of the validity of their argument hoping to turn the ship's crew against the other once they reached their home planet.
