Fall of the Republic

[digitalerik]

Bush was not a tool. Great president!

[Bigblue1]

I voted for that son of a bitch twice. I think, I have every right to call him a tool. Nothing personal... but it shows you where I am coming from. I've seen both sides for what they are and I can conclusively say neither are good for America (US).
edit for a P.S. We haven't even had the possibility of a great President since Kennedy was assassinated... And I use to think Reagan was the bomb as well. So much for youthful indiscretions...

So I watched justintemplars video which isn't bad but very narrow and never alludes to the fact that most of the players they mention that caused the derivatives and credit default swaps in the later 90's are now part of obamas cabinet. ie tim geithner larry summers and Bob reuben of goldman sachs the Clinton administration and citibank who now runs the latter two. As a matter of fact at around minute 40 of the fall of the republic they cover this as well.

That is the truth.

I have been listening to his radio show at least once a week since 2006 and can honestly say the man is years ahead of the mainstream media.

There must be some members here who spend the same amount of time researching the government as much as he does to be so opinionated to call it all conspiracy. He states all the time if you dont believe him to research what he presents and challenge him on it. Callers who disagree get to go first in line on his show.

Apologies for some of the members here Bigblue1. Some can definately be a little disrespectful at times but mostly friendly.

Thanks truthwolf1. It's all good. I think it's the fact that the subject matter is difficult and so important that it ilicits strong views and emotional reactions. There is something to that as well. Everybody knows there's something wrong. That's why, it's always the other side. But how long can it go on the back and forth till everybody realizes it's both sides and the system that need to be changed. It's hard, I know from personal experience, to realize maybe your side isn't right either. Once you can or have to come to that realization it is , it's like freedom again. You know what i'm saying.... Anyway, thanks and thank the rest of you for having me, 10 months into my residency....

... Its frustrating to be sitting here trying to proselytize to people who can't/won't look at or try something they've never seen/had before....

I'm an atheist so proselytizing doesn't work on me. :lol:


speaking of something never seen before:


I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Saturday, free of political discussions.

Enjoy.

Please don't. That WILL get me uptight. Share anything you want that matters to you...yes. But you start proselytizing, I will fight right back.

[Bigblue1]

Point taken.... Enjoy your evening.

[sagedil]

Thank you Bigblue1

Why does it have to be a fight?

[chadizzy1]

Thank God this isn't a beer forum. A bunch of drunk people typing about politics, I can imagine a bunch of beer covered drunken computers.

I'm on my 4th pint of Boddingtons Pub Ale, and I won't interject.

[Bigblue1]

what's up tommy 2 tone

[tom502]

I still don't believe we went to the moon.

I'm with RRK it does not have to be a fight. Two of the many things that are true about snuson: (1) we have many heated political discussions, always have, always will; just because some have been around a while to participate (or not) in many should not exclude newcomers from posting whatever the hell they want, and (2) while your opinions on the subject may enlighten a few, they will change the mind of none. We all have our own righteous opinions, and these discussions work best when we're all mindful of respecting each other. As I've said before, I don't participate in other forums, and I live in a very liberal town, so this community is a valuable source of diverse opinions for me and I like it that way. Having said that, chad, your comment inspired me to find a good beer forum. Now someone please bump the alcohol thread and tell me something good.
