curious -- do you ever have a thought of your own?

First, did Sarah Palin's daughter have her baby?  I saw her a few times on TV and she didnt look pregnant.  If she did have it, what did she have? 

Second, the election is over right?  Why are some so bitter.  Our guy didnt win.  Okay already.  Nothing we can do about it now.  I fear that pretty soon, we will have way more on our minds than this stuff.

Have you ever actually talked to one of those people who were layed off in the auto industry?  I know several and not one of them knows about this $31 for playing checkers stuff.  All say if they had they would have demanded their share.  One did take advantage of their retraining program and got a CDL.  After finding out truck driving wasn't for him, he moved to Houston and went to work in the oil industry.  Reality check:  If they can draw $31 an hour for playing checkers, why on earth would they be worried about losing their jobs?  Per Judge Judy:  If it doesn't make sense it isn't true.

Just out of curiosity....how on earth do you people who do all the research and posting, likely not limited to just this board, EVER find time to work?

I'm not sure why you would want to flaunt the fact that you are an uncaring person who enjoys giving others discomfort. 

I'm also not sure why you'd want to post such as an ignorant comment as:

The only outrage liberal Democrats ever feel is mock.

You show little understanding or concern for other people, but worst of all, you seem proud of it. 

Gay men from Barack Obama's Chicago church have been murdered and their murders go unsolved. These men were murdered in 40 days of each other around November 2007 to December 2007, when Obama was running for president. One was Obama's churches choir master, a man named Donald Young.

That is extremely disturbing that Barack Obama, a man running for president, has had murders in his church of gay males and their killings have gone unsolved.

That is unheard of for one church to have a couple of murders, especially during a time when a parishioner of the church is a person running for the highest office in the land, in over one month. Then the murders were of gay men in a church that was friendly to them because they knew the choir master was openly gay. This is a church Obama's children went to and Barack exchanged marriage vows with Michelle.

The choirmaster was killed execution style in December. This is a big story because imagine if that had happened to another presidential or vice-presidential candidate, that members of their follow church members were murdered in seperate killings.

Hopefully there will be justice and civil rights for these gay men.  

Do you mean that all of us are "going down?" 

Someone in a different area from us told me that "sometime after the first of the year" there would be many more changes re the Cbay thing.  It's hard to know if he/she even knows the specifics.  Just checking.

Thanks.

Down the drain?  Beware of Obama's plan to 'spread the wealth around'

By Betsy Newmark

If the McCain campaign can’t use this Obama quote to raise doubts about his attitude towards wealth and success, then they deserve the shellacking they seem headed for.

“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Plumbers of the country, unite! Forget about the work and effort you put into building up a business or the scummy work that you do that many of us don’t know or don’t want to do. If you have succeeded, you should be willing to give up more of what you earn to help those who haven’t had the great good luck that you have had to be a successful plumber. Remember how Obama is going to give 95% of all of us a tax cut even though over 30% of the population doesn’t pay taxes?

He might call it a tax credit, but what he’s really doing is his vision of “spreading the wealth around.” It sounds a lot like Huey Long’s 1935 plan to “Share the Wealth.” And when he finds that he can’t tax the top 5% of the population to gain enough wealth to spread to the 95% of the rest of us, do you really think that he’ll stop with that 5%?

Remember…This is the guy who said in the ABC debate during the primary season that his approach to raising tax on capital gains is not based on whether it would provide more revenue but on his idea of what is fair:

GIBSON: All right. You have, however, said you would favor an increase in the capital gains tax. As a matter of fact, you said on CNBC, and I quote, “I certainly would not go above what existed under Bill Clinton,” which was 28 percent. It’s now 15 percent. That’s almost a doubling, if you went to 28 percent.

But actually, Bill Clinton, in 1997, signed legislation that dropped the capital gains tax to 20 percent.

OBAMA: Right.

GIBSON: And George Bush has taken it down to 15 percent.

OBAMA: Right.

GIBSON: And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down.

So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

Just what we need in these fragile economic times — a guy who wants to raise taxes because he thinks it’s a matter of “fairness” and time to “spread the wealth around.”

That will be some incentive for other plumbers who want to work hard and build up a successful business.

But don’t worry - according to Joe Biden, it’s the patriotic thing to do.

As a nonbeliever what do you think it is that makes you feel good inside when you do something good?  I don't know much about atheists, always thought there wasn't much to know, except they don't believe in God and so I would assume when they die they believe that everything stops right there.  I feel that there has to be a better life in the world to come so I am asking a sincere question which is thought provoking at least to me.  If a loved one dies, how do you deal with it?  What happens to them.  When you die what happens to you?

"You people" can go ahead and bang that tired old drum.......it doesn't take a genius to figure out who they were pointing to.
