They have lost their fucking minds, full stop period.

[Wicked Jester]

So here we have a person who talks like a socialist on welfare yet wants us to believe he did business with Congressmen and only the upper echelon of the military. He believes that all business men and employers cheat they're workers and believes that all workers should get a share of the profit because businesses are not a risk.

Oh and wants us to believe that his own father was a big shot executive on Wall Street who was over payed.

Is this clown for real?
What a fucking joke.

No shit, Sarge.

And i'm sure he was bitching his ass off while his father probably afforded him a very comfortable life, while being overpayed.

And then, he calls me a "thief", but his father was just "overpayed".

Something tells me he wouldn't call his father a thief to his face, 'cause of the risk of having the gravy train derailed.

I said many I nasty thing to my father - none of which I regret. My father was a wealthy man, but that never meant that I was. And yes, he took it with him.

As far as my upbringing - my father treated me like one of his soldiers - anything but spoiled. (Note: he was a Sargent in Patton's army and not prone to coddling)

He would not let me starve - but that's about it.

Sounds to me like you've got a real chip on your shoulder towards all people who have made very comfortable lives for themselves, particularly business owners.

It comes through in all your rambling BS about how evil businesses owners are.....Christ, you even called me a thief. I've never stole anything in my damn life, save for a pack o' M&M's when I was 7 years old, and had to endure the consequenses after being caught......I hate fuckin' thieves......I particularly hate socialist thieves. Because that's exactly what they are, fuckin' thieves.

BTW, who paid for your college......Did your father have anythinmg to do with that?

And, maybe if you didn't say such nasty things to your father, he would have left ya' somethin'.

You sound like you're just a bitters asshole, who tries to hide behind, the socialism is a great thing garbage, because you actually are a failure in life, and can't get by in life without entitlements and hand outs.

I really don't know why you keep saying that I live on entitlements. Just feeding your fantasy world.

Nope. The only thing that I've ever recieved as an entitlement is one single unemployment check.

Actually, my father did intend to leave me an inheritance - he prided himself on it. Unfortunately he suffered from Azhiemers during the last several years of his life, so his life saving went to his care.

It's funny how this thread has turned into a discussion of my personal life. Let's see how did that happen?

I argued circles around you and the other wingnuts on the thread, so you resorted to personal attacks. Making all kinds of unfounded assumptions about me.

You & the other wingnuts then attacked my patriotism and agrandized SFC Ollie's military service. So I explained the circumstaneces my semi-military service, and I floored you once again.

So your back to the personal attacks.

Ya'all pretty pitiful.

Good Night!

Good Night!

Don't sit there and stain everybody's service who actually served, by even trying to imply you had any military service........You were not miltary, you never wore the uniform......You were a civilian EMPLOYEE, nothing more.

You didn't floor anybody, lil' man. You made yourself look like complete liberal loon by saying ridiculous, baseless crap......You then had your ass handed to you by several up here........Just remember, you attack a vet's military service up here, you're going to get a slew o' veterans up here that will hammer your punk ass.

This isn't the Daily KOS board, or any other loony liberal board where that shit goes on regularly. Up here, it's vet friendly, and you will be called out for being a fuckin' idiot.

Now, take your class warfare bullshit, and shove it up your boney ass.......Nobody owes you a damn thing.

Good night!

What can Congress do to create jobs? Five Republican proposals. - REINS Act - CSMonitor.com

1. REINS Act
The signature jobs initiative for Republicans when Congress returns in September is an attempt to pass the REINS Act (Regulation from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny).

The REINS Act would require Congress to approve every major new regulation proposed by the White House before it takes effect. If Congress does not act within 70 days, the rule is void.

This would severely limit the power of the executive branch, since no regulations – such as the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of greenhouse gases – could become effective without approval from both houses of Congress, a high bar. In this way, congressional Republicans are seeking to bring back to Congress the regulatory powers that have gradually devolved to the executive branch during the past 50 years.

Sponsors include Rep. Geoff Davis (R) of Kentucky and Sen. Rand Paul (R) of Kentucky. The bill is endorsed by business groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce, which is launching a summer regulation road show to boost public support.

Sounds great to me. If the US Chamber of Commerce known for wanting (JOBS AND GROWTH)--and if they want to limit Barack Obama's destructive path toward socialism that's O.K. with me.

CIA World Factbook: Life expectancy at birth (2011)

Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.

Table: U.S. States Ranked by Life Expectancy

In 1950, the US ranked 5th in the world for average life expectancy at birth - by 2011 it had slipped to 50th.

All 10 of the states with the lowest life expectancies in America vote Republican.

The sponsors of the REINS ACTS include Rep. Geoff Davis (R) and Sen. Rand Paul (R) both from Kentucky.

With all due respect to our Republican "friends," if I represented an America state whose average life expectancy ranked between 86th (Lithuania) and 87th (Tonga) in the world, healthcare and not REINS would be my number 1 priority!
