Wal-Mart: Our shoppers are 'running out of money'

actually yes, in fact, it is vandalism to disfigure or mar property that does not belong to you. as for the link?

a google search away. even the unions are ("officially") disavowing these guys.

but still not nation wide, it didn't make headline news, so you lie...
 
yes, you are sorry...and no, I am not out of my mind. Inflammatory rhetoric is bad no matter the source.

so let's be clear. you agree with the nutjobs that Palin bears even an iota of responsibility for the shooting of Rep Giffords?
 
I believe the free market goes into action when something is wanted/needed/ and is profitable.
Mass transit is none of those things in most of the country.
What do you have against people being free to walk out of their homes, pull the car out of their garage and drive to their destination, independent of socialized transportation?

and none of your fears will be realized....mass transit works well only in densely populated areas, not where the population is just dense....
 
so let's be clear. you agree with the nutjobs that Palin bears even an iota of responsibility for the shooting of Rep Giffords?

I agree that Palin and others should not use imflammatory rhetoric, or suggest that any other politician should be targeted in any way short of corruption probes. Seems that once one of YOUR favorite politicans is being "targeted", you don't like it much....
 
I read through the entire artlce and never found a single mention of any consensus that it was happening.

31,000 Signatures Prove ‘No Consensus’ About Global Warming

Robinson said that in recent years the U.N. and a group of 600 scientists, representing less than one percent of the scientific population, reached a “consensus” that global warming is happening. This has never been done before, Robinson insists.
Dennis Avery, Director for the Center of Global Food Issues at the Hudson Institute, agrees with Robinson. “Nobody can do science by a committee. You do science by testing,” said Avery. “To me it is appalling that an international organization of the stature of the U.N. would ignore the evidence of past climate changing.”
The signers of Robinson’s petition, including 9,000 Ph.Ds, all have one thing in common. They believe that human rights are being taken away.
When the U.N. and others want to limit hydrocarbons, which account for 85% of the current United States energy supplies, the consequences are disastrous, Robinson said.
 
i've seen people criticize attempts to use the power of government to push healthy eating - it's not the feds job to tell me i have to eat an apple in between every twinkie. And I've seen people criticize her "the first tim i've ever been proud of my country" remark.
I disagree. We are supposed to have a healthy nation, and we are supposed to have a Surgeon General to oversee us. You want couch potatoes? You got it!! A guy can't even make his work station without a handful of pills and power drinks. Pathetic!!

I've never seen anything approaching the bile and vitriol we've seen out of the left in the past few years. republians still try to police their extremes - democrats have largely embraced them.


You having a lapse a memory, or is this your first year in polly 101? Impeachment, being made "Resident" of WH, gays, WMDs, invading Sovereign Nation.
as a matter of fact i do not.



now, the last time i checked - the only thing Republicans ever pulled the "with us or against us" card was a world-wide war against Islamist fundamentalism. not their domestic political opponents.



indeed it well. the Ryan budget gives me hope.

Was that before or after he stole all our rights and needed a means to divide the nation in order stop descent for his Holy War in Iraq?
 
Ohh, so you just want an idiot for president? You want one that says, "**** it, who cares if we run out of energy and hit peak oil soon?

like the "overpopulation" people whose static models uncontestably prove to us that over a quarter of the population of the earth should have starved to death in the 1980's, the Peak Oil folks are a crowd operating on failed assumptions who refuse to go away. We've been "about to hit peak oil" since 1894 (not a mistype) - yet we keep finding new reserves or developing new technology to exploit reserves that were previously unaccessible. I realize this is Catawaba's thing - but you need to realize that he's sort of the energy equivalent of the End-The-Fed-And-Reinstate-The-Gold-Standard crowd.

Let's just drill every resource we have out of the ground and wallow around it in ASAP because we're all a bunch of fat, lazy bastards that aren't happy unless they can fill up their 30-gallon tank that gets 8-miles per gallon for 30 bucks."

we have more oil in the Rockies alone than Saudi Arabia has. Add to that our huge deposits running along both coasts and ANWR? we are the worlds' biggest idiots for not tapping them.

Those kinds of resources do not exist

actually the US has the largest energy reserves in the world.

we cannot get to the resources fast enough to do what you want

tomorow? probably not. We also can't pay down the debt by next year. Guess we should just continue to ramp up spending, and have ever expanding deficits as far as the eye can see, eh? i mean, heck, if we can't solve a problem in less than 6 months, then it's just not worth solving.
 
Was that before or after he stole all our rights and needed a means to divide the nation in order stop descent for his Holy War in Iraq?

That's perfect; thank you.

Now,

Does everyone see what I mean?
 
I've been hoping for a Daniels candidacy since probably about late 2009, when I first became aware of him. He seems perfectly matched to Republican and American needs in 2012. The problem is his personal history - his wife basically ran off, divorced him, and married another man years ago. Four years later, she had come back and they remarried and happily raised their four daughters. But in a campaign she would be brutalized by left-wing mud-slingers. I can understand why he wouldn't want to expose his wife to them.

If he is as good as you say, then she needs to do it for the country. :lol:
What she did doesn't sound all that bad. If he was willing to forgive her and they put the family back together, that's a good thing.
 
Fine. You can do that. Just don't blame the President when the price of fuel keeps rising because of increased demand among an incredibly large number of consumers, groups of which are going to the same place anyways.

They're all going fishing? Gawd, I hope not. I go fishing to get away from people. ;)
 
I believe the free market goes into action when something is wanted/needed/ and is profitable.
Mass transit is none of those things in most of the country.
Oh, the rich don't need mass transit, so we shouldn't help those who could benefit from it, such as commuting, traveling, vacations & weekend destinations.
What do you have against people being free to walk out of their homes, pull the car out of their garage and drive to their destination, independent of socialized transportation?

If I gave you a hundred dollar bill for free, does that make me against you? And who said I wanted to take away your private sleigh ride? I don't. Just because we have mass transit, does not mean you have to use it, by force or otherwise.

What I have in mind for you is an environmentally static sealed, computerized glass highway that zips you along at 200-300 mph, no more accidents, no batteries, no vibration from the road bed. And that is what you will drive your vehicle on.
 
q1 gdp is 1.8%

and they're stuck on mass transit

LOL!

seeya at the polls, progressives
 
The 1.8 percent pace of increase in gross domestic product in the first quarter, according to a Commerce Department report Thursday, is down from a 3.1 percent gain in the final months of 2010. It is also lower than the level of growth that, over time, would be expected to drive down joblessness. The U.S. economy needs to grow about 2.5 percent annually to keep unemployment steady given continual growth in the labor force and in worker efficiency; even stronger GDP growth is needed to bring unemployment down.

Don't be so sure. I have already begun restarting ACORN 2.0 where I will get every jobless bum, unionized slob, and homosexual to vote fourteen times each for Obama. Your only hope is James O'Keefe! You better hurry and donate to him since last I heard he was quite broke!! :(

(I am thinking about changing it from ACORN to PECAN though so that people won't catch on so quick)

Yep, you nailed it. To beat West, Obama would have to cheat :mrgreen:
 
and when ONE MILLION americans are frantically COMPETING against EACH OTHER for sixty piddly thousand BURGER FLIPPING jobs...

McDonalds/Bloomberg

well, when you're president...

that's pretty problematic, pete

actually i pretty much stopped being a fan of palin when it became obvious that she was incapable of remaining above a fray. I'm an unabashed Daniels man.

but if you are against inflammatory rhetoric, then you need to explain how you justify thinking that Republicans are the ones slinging the demagoguery and rhetoric when we are getting treated to such wonderful gems as the kind of crap we are seeing in their reactions to recent events on the hill.

Politifact Gives "pants on fire" rating to Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee ad Accusing Republicans of "Ending Medicare"

Chris Matthews: Ryan's Medicare Plan will Kill Off half the people who watch my show

Daily Kos: Ryan Plan will Kill Seniors

New DNC Chief: Ryan Plan Literally A Death Trap for Seniors

Jesse Jackson: The Budget Fight is like the Civil War

Elanor Norton Holmes (D): Pushing to ban Federal Funding for Abortion in DC is the equivalent of bombing innocent civilians

Harry Reid: GOP wants women to get cancer

Nancy Pelosi: GOP Waging War on Women

Louise Slaughter: Republicans came to Congress to Kill Women


....and that's just a small smattering of the last couple of months.
 
I mean for crying out loud man, the PRESIDENT went in front of a bunch of college students and accused Republicans of attacking their grandparents and autistic kids. You think the activists are going to be more restrained?

Normally, there would be a temptation to get into the guts of this Big Government video showing Lefty and Democratic protesters at an anti-Koch brothers rally. For those who aren’t aware, the Koch brothers are the latest Two-Minute Hate object of choice among the netroots, who hate them for… giving money to conservative causes, apparently. Actually, I’m being kind: the netroots hate because the alternative involves too much self-reflection to be really comfortable.
Anyway, there would normally be a temptation to crack this video and extract the meat of the Left-wing Crazy inside, only: it’s all Crazy inside. These people were cheerfully advocating murder to anybody who asked them, in complete disregard of the fact that they were being filmed:

Wal-Mart: Our shoppers are 'running out of money'

What should Wallmart do to turn this all around? They could sell products for less. They could convince corporations to pay workers living wages, while starving their own workers with minimum wages. Any other Capitalist ideas? Like moving all their business to China?

Why do you hate poor people?

Even Bush was not that dumb. I think what you are dreaming of is a person that does not exist since it is not possible. Those kinds of resources do not exist, we cannot get to the resources fast enough to do what you want, and when we do get to them, we will barely pump out enough to affect world market prices.

*Edit:

And can I :lamo at "socialized transportation".

No you can't laugh. I stole that from a conservative here, and he wouldn't like it.:) Socialized transportation is a good name for the government shoving us into mass transit like cattle.
