Then, the democrat > give away artists crashed the market and stole half of it away from me, Now, now Bill rewriting history won't make it so. Just how did the Democrats "crash the market"? If I am not mistaken the potitical helm of this nation was controlled by the Bush Administration when things fell apart. Look to Wall St. for your loss. > and now they are busy trashing the value of my dollar in order to get > the other half. So it wasn't a myth. The dollar lost its shine due to the funding of a war we could not afford, and the economic hole the Bush administration slid us into. > Everyone in this country can become rich. Define "rich". They can dream of the obscene wealth of those who are the real beneficiaries of Republican policy, however the best most will do, is to be comfortable. Most will just get by. > They just have to protect their money from the thieving democrats and Republicans. > after they get it. (I recommend buying gold) I guess you have been listening to Beck again. -- Regards, Savageduck

You really need to spend some time researching the facts. Start here: "http://www.urban.org/publications/305184.html"

The federal government mandates on education and emergency health care are unfunded mandates that the state is forced to accept. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for welfare unless a state or locality decides to provide it, so of course you never actually saw piles of welfare checks that were being distributed to illegal immigrants in Oregon, unless you're referring to welfare that is being distributed to U.S. citizens that were born here to illegal immigrants. If that's the case I suggest that you work on changing the law to eliminate the provision that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen--you'd have a lot of support for that.

You've had good acid trips? > Are you claiming that liberals don't dance? Okay, maybe you *aren't* on drugs. As an alternative, you could be suffering from some *other* abberation that causes you to post nonsense. Choose one. So you won't claim liberals don't dance? Your posting facts? Liberals have their own tune and eveyone with half a brain, you included, knows it. You and Ray, the schmucks.

Nope. Only fewer deaths by gun, if that. And with a corresponding rise in other causes. Never trust a man who's certain that he has simple solutions to complex problems. Never trust a man who gives online retorts with *no* substance. |
