Displaying 181 To 210 Of 3,538 Comments When The Simmering Public Finally Erupts You would think that, at some point, the older generations would have said, “enough of this.” Would have been the wise ones. » Posted By ADONAI On September 29, 2011 @ 2:47 pm Why does it always fall to the younger generations to fix our mistakes? When do we stop leaving them the bill? » Posted By ADONAI On September 29, 2011 @ 2:04 pm Why America Fails: One Man’s Opinion It would be difficult to implement true fascism in America. First of all, and probably most importantly, American corporations wouldn’t play along. A fascist government would immediately seize control of all corporate operations in it’s border. We can barely regulate them. You really think they would accept full government control? No. They prey on out greed and stupidity to increase their bottom line. Not the government’s. So if fascism did come to America, amazingly enough, GE and Microsoft would suddenly be your best friends. Our diversity, and even our stubbornness, will be assets as well. What else do fascist governments do? They take away all weapons. Now, all of a sudden, 80% of the Republican base is on your side. See, no matter your disagreements with people, or how crazy they seem or actually are, they most likely love this country and the freedom it gives them. They just have their own weird views on it. Fascism would probably help in that it would unify this country. Almost everyone would find something they vehemently oppose. And Christians? How about this? “The destruction of Christianity was explicitly recognized as a purpose of the National Socialist movement” This was from the leader of the Hitler Youth. No one would want fascism. True fascism. It will never happen. » Posted By ADONAI On October 1, 2011 @ 5:17 pm I agree 100% Ideology is killing us. Particularly the Republican fascination with economic stagnation. » Posted By ADONAI On October 1, 2011 @ 5:04 pm No funk, if 75% don’t care, it won’t happen. But revolution is highly unnecessary. And I know who broke the circle of trust. We did. We got greedy. We have to get away from this caste system we try to apply to people. All these bankers and executives are just regular people. CEOs, board members, and so on. They’re just like us. People spend more on lottery tickets than they do on groceries. I still can’t stay mad at us though. We’re just people. I think things will get better. i just don’t know how much better anymore. At least in the short term. » Posted By ADONAI On October 1, 2011 @ 5:02 pm Thanks, Em! So many people have covered our situation from so many good angles, I figured I would just go straight to the people. And it’s tough cause we’re good people at heart. I love this country and it’s people. Like anyone else it’s just so easy for us to lose our way and to have backwards priorities. It is true that external forces are constantly working to manipulate our apathy but it is ours to end at any time. I hope the Wall Street movement is the start of something big. It has to start with the young people. The older generations are too set in their ways. And Obama has had to weather any number of unfair attacks. has he been perfect? Of course not. Has he been terrible? Absolutely not. But so many go to the extreme one way or another. The middle ground is almost nonexistent now a days. And I share your worry about the republic but I also know this isn’t the first time people have seriously questioned America’s ability to continue. Not the first time greed and hubris have taken us down a dark path. I think we’ll make it. We’ll be stronger. But I understand anyone who worries. Things can get worse. Much, much worse. » Posted By ADONAI On September 29, 2011 @ 1:56 pm Why Is Equality So “Controversial” for Republicans? The problem isn’t the bigots. It’s the people who won’t push the status quo. We know where the bigots stand. They make it obvious. The rest of the country, not so much. » Posted By ADONAI On September 25, 2011 @ 1:38 pm TAKE ACTION: Suggest and Support Petitions For The Obama Admin to Review Really? Well that makes sense I guess. I had no idea China and N. Korea were attacking Japan. I guess I would want to leave some troops there too. But surely we don’t need a base in Europe. And in the future I will limit it to things the President can do right now without Congress. » Posted By ADONAI On September 25, 2011 @ 2:17 pm Most of the things in these petitions can’t be done without Congress. But all troops could be removed without Congress. I know the bases will never be closed. Still waiting for WW3 to break out I guess. But these are things I’d want done. » Posted By ADONAI On September 25, 2011 @ 1:34 pm I made a petition to bring our troops home and close our overseas military bases. Signed Patsy’s petition as well. » Posted By ADONAI On September 24, 2011 @ 4:50 pm Weekend Music Thread – Ladies Night (and Day) My Ruin-“Miss Ann Thrope” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjBNeejjrSc Jack Off Jill – My Cat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6-ZccfRrIo&feature=related Belly – Feed The Tree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQJjUbMrt8w&ob=av3e Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch – I’ll Fly Away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRdqp4N3Jw Lita Ford ft.

I wish more people would ask it. » Posted By ADONAI On September 22, 2011 @ 2:39 pm Al, I’ve been reading about that one. The ruling was to prevent the arbitrary use of the death penalty. Before states reinstated it, they made a bunch of rules and measures regarding it’s use. Basically the SCOTUS said you can use it if you are humane about it. » Posted By ADONAI On September 22, 2011 @ 1:12 pm Goddamn I’m still angry about this. How helpless the people at that prison must have felt. They killed him about 500 feet away from them and there was nothign they could do about it. I started writing a post on the history of capital punishment. It’s the only way I can wrap my head around it. Maybe I’ll find some reason, some justification for this barbarism. But I doubt it. » Posted By ADONAI On September 22, 2011 @ 12:37 pm So, if I point out that I’m disappointed in many of President Obama’s decisions, most of them regarding foreign policy Does that make me an emoprog? Are you asking for absolute support? That people who have legitimate disagreements with the President just shut up and go with it? How many of these people would actually vote for a continued Republican controlled House just to spite the leader of their Party? “And long-term is listening to what candidates say and not projecting your political wants and desires on what you perceive to be their tabula rasa. That’s not smart. In fact, that’s downright immature.” Now this I actually agree with very much. If many of the “emoprogs”, as you call them, had actually LISTENED to Obama They’d realize he hasn’t changed much at all from his campaign. They are complaining about the same things they went and voted for. It is very immature. But so is name calling and condescension. So, while you may make good points, the tone of the piece defeats the whole purpose of it. You come off no better than them. Just whining. » Posted By ADONAI On September 22, 2011 @ 12:33 pm My G-O-TEA Senator Loves Big Oil, But Not Working Class Americans Good lord Al. How long you been waiting to pull that first line out? 😉 And Heller has to have lost labor and first responder support. I don’t see how he could win against a Dem who runs a solid campaign. » Posted By ADONAI On September 20, 2011 @ 1:42 pm I feel your pain. My Senators are Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. » Posted By ADONAI On September 20, 2011 @ 1:13 pm Unfortunately, yes. I run my A/C during the winter. I don’t recycle. I dump hazardous chemicals in streams and public waterways. I litter. Constantly. I buy things just to throw the packaging on the ground. And I could go on. But first, Pay Me! » Posted By ADONAI On September 19, 2011 @ 9:22 pm I exist. Pay me. » Posted By ADONAI On September 19, 2011 @ 9:07 pm Don’t we give oil companies billions of dollars in entitlements for basically just existing? » Posted By ADONAI On September 19, 2011 @ 9:01 pm If he just called it a “Middle Class Bailout” It’d pass tomorrow. » Posted By ADONAI On September 19, 2011 @ 5:37 pm Weekend Music Thread – Oldies But Goodies Coal Chamber – Loco (Live @ Dynamo Open Air, 1998)
