    Funny many on the Left complain of all the things government does, or what they think they do, but it's they who want to give government more and more power. When you show them that their Liberal headed government has continually lied to them, they pass that off as not important.

    Really? Then where is Obama today? Where was he yesterday? Where was Obama when the raid to take out Bin Laden was launched?

    Between unnecessary campaign trips, trips abroad, vacationing, and the golf course there is little time left for the oval office. Now, prove me wrong.

    Facts are not racism, and there are not any racist code words. When Obama is called lazy it means that he is not doing his job. The real fanatics are the ones that support Obama no matter what he or his administration is doing.

    The funny thing is that you do not know what race or combination of races that I am. You can assume, but the only thing that you can truely know is that I am not a Sharpton or Jackson indoctrinate. Of course, you know what happens when you ass-u-me.

    The thing is, I'm a Canadian and I didn't really stop to think of what race you are. Why would it matter? I read your hate rhetoric and it smells bad and that's all I need to know.

    Apparently the idea of a government that functions with the well being of its citizens in mind if completely foreign to your beliefs. And they're just dumb enough to believe that left to their own MULTI NATIONAL corporations will function with the long term interests of society in mind. This is the belief that if everyone acts with their own greed in mind society will reach an equilibrium. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

    I agree with your generalization. After all, look at how many people believe in religion - all that takes is belief.

    then again as another generalization, half the world's population is below average intelligence, so there are billions who are simply not capable of realistically assessing "evidence".

    as a sweeping generalization most americans don't get that most canadians don't stop to think about race or ethnicity when considering person's words, actions, and perspectives. Its only when confronted with race/ethinicity that gives us any cause to pause and then its usually an "oh right" moment.

    Just a word to remind you that many highly intelligent people are religious. They have no choice and are powerless to escape it. Just as a baby duckling is powerless to escape his imprinting on the first moving object he sees as his mother. It could be a coyote and the other ducks will sound the alarm for him to heed when the coyote approaches but the duckling will not heed it.

    It is exactly the same with even some of the most intelligent human beings.

    See I told you you had no clue. Your every statement was entirely wrong. Just like the rest of your assmptions in this thread. By the way I don't think Obama is lazy I think he and his advisers are simply incompetent. Is that racist code talk to? That sir is what the facts thus far indicate to me. He acts like a man in so far over his head that he doesn't know what else to do but go on vaction and hope everything sorts itelf out before he gets back.

    That's just politics garud. Try to begin to understand what we're talking about here; you'll get a hell of a lot more out of it. You're boring gurud, but even so, every time I have to address you I feel like I need to take a shower again. That's a compliment. You have a certain influence over others which you need to try to cultivate further.

    Eventually you will run into the guy that will give you your just deserts!

    I have yet to meet Him I have met several that claimed they were, but in the end they brought not logic just shallow name calling and a refusal to admit to the truth.

    Sigh. Yet again, a liberal fails to understand there is a difference between promoting the free market place and being a corporate stooge.

    But more on topic, you either don't read history books, or are one of those people who insist "It won't happen to my country". Right. Sure. I bet the Germans thought that too. And the Romans. And the French.

    What do you think of the notion that he is supervising our decline, in a sort of way. Perhaps even, wants it.

    Only if they don't know how to research and are gullible enough to believe everything they read or hear. So, what's your point? Why are you worried about what other people are saying? What real-world concern does it have for you?

    :roflol:
    As if you have access to all of the information relevant to 9/11, which of course, as everyone knows, doesn't start or finish on 09/11/2001. But if you do, please, share with us your Godly conclusive proof that there is no reason to question 9/11 since the American media and leadership has given us plenty of reasons to.

    Again, people fall for propaganda. Why aren't you (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about state ran propaganda? Wouldn't you say that state ran propaganda is a tad more severe and powerful than what you're condemning? Or why aren't you talking about the advertising and marketing giants? Their propaganda machine is enormous.

    Again, those are gullible people. Bad practice, sure, but the customer list are marks. Sheep. The 'bewildered herd' as Walter Lippmann wrote.

    You're not innocent. And what do you mean by 'rise above it all'? What, limit the free speech of fellow human beings because their effective persuasion won you over? Awe. Too bad (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Google exists on every electronic device that carries the Internet. The ability to do research is literally always at someone's finger tips. They could become a Will Hunting if they so chose with Google. Basically, it is called 'PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY'. You are responsible for you and your decisions. And you better not even start suggesting the encroachment of the First Amendment because morons in society fall for the stories in the tabloid magazine.

    That is a personal problem. It is your life. You think about and read and listen to the things you choose to. Your worldview is your own. Not anyone else's problem, nor should it be, unless you need professional help because you've read or seen something on the Internet that has disturbed you so.

    Like some of the stories we're taught in grade school that turn out to be distorted, inaccurate or a bold face lie. Why aren't you sounding the alarm about that? Inaccuracy in education has astounding effects, don't you think?

    Not all bad advice but in the ballpark. How about, "When reading something, anything, confirm its story by doing Google searches using like terms." That's called doing research. Because instead of discounting conspiracy theories entirely, which you are trying to do, as illogical as that is, a person should examine a story if they so choose to and be sure to evaluate the relevant facts. For in a lot of conspiracy theories, there are a lot of elements of truth that are covered by mainstream media sources, big print media and/or government sources as well.
