TERRORISTS TRIED in U.S. courts? Weakness? Absolutely not! Evidence, juries and U.S. constitutional values let the system work!
I'VE NEVER heard of a waste-treatment plant that didn't have a backup generator. I hope the EPA jumps all over this.
THE RECENT sewage overflow at last proves this town stinks!
EPB SHOULD update their old equipment, or get into the generator business. How will they take care of their cable customers?
TVA, YOUR downtown building looks like it's covered in coal ash. Where's the pride? Clean it!
TOO LITTLE, too late, locking the doors and reviewing security "after" $200,000 of electronic equipment is stolen.
ATTITUDE IS everything! Where does it say on your birth certificate "you'll be taken care of" be it Republican or Democrat?
NEWLY ELECTED Sen. Brown needs to focus on the country's problems not on his daughter's singing career. Geez!
THE REAL problem with balancing the budget is that the cuts required are more painful than either party will impose.
LAST TIME federal budget was in surplus was 2001, before Bush tax cuts. Restore those cuts before cutting government services.
EIGHT YEARS of Bush deficits and now Republicans blame Democrats for the national debt. Talk about a cheap shot.
The essence of liberalism is to fulfill their emotional needs at the expense of everyone else. No matter what the consequences are to themselves or others, this is what liberals strive for. Apparently, people seem to be okay with the idea of being enslaved. They seem to be okay with being lied to by our government in Washington. They seem to be satisfied with letting this happen. They are really on their way towards self-destruction, whether they realize this or not. They don’t have much concern at all about their own survival. They even say that there is no time for them to ever get involved or to find anything out. They just keep taking it all at face value what they are being told by the government-media complex. They accept things at a glance. They take the bait. The government tells them something and they automatically believe what they are told. They don’t research anything. It’s a very lazy-minded way of thinking. But it’s also considered one of many examples of what I like to commonly refer to as Pavlovian Response. They have been conditioned. They’ve been mentally trained a certain way to believe the way they do. They are somewhat oblivious to what is going on in reality, and would rather enjoy living in their idealistic fantasy world. So they trust the government as if IT knows what is best for everyone here in the United States. It is really quite sad, for sure. But it is also quite interesting, the kind of naiveté that is being exhibited by a lot of Middle-Class Americans in our society. You know the types of citizens I am referring to, right? The common everyday masses of people who work several hours a day, but at the same time, they don’t really ever want to find out what is going on outside each of their little bubbles they live in. They are greatly affected by all of what is going on in the long run. So is their survival, whether they want to know it or not. But on the other hand, even though some of us know how much this can affect them, a lot of folks say that they don’t care. They show no interest in getting involved or being engaged, trying to make a real difference in their situation to change for the better BEFORE something, God forbid, should ever happen to them, or that their lives all go awry. Still, they are content with all this. It’s beyond my comprehension as to why, but oh well. I guess I am at a point now where I am tired of racking my brain about it or trying to figure out their way of thinking for all this. Their nonchalance, ignoring the fate of what hangs in the balance for them, or just plain lack of response altogether – is really quite amazing to me. The pacifism is really phenomenal.
Perhaps people really do want all this to happen to them, what Washington D.C. deals to them. Maybe people get exactly what they deserve, I suppose.
Obviously, they give consent to it through their silence. They certainly make little if no effort to oppose what all is happening to them. It’s more about denying everything we see. Denying the obvious, this seems to be a virtue for them. You know – see no evil, hear no evil. Just pretend it all doesn’t exist. Look at life through rose-colored glasses. Be blind and keep their heads in the sand – that’s the way to deal with it, eh?
Where is the passion? Where’s the outrage? The righteous indignation? Are people still asleep at the wheel? Are they all out to lunch about everything? Are they hypnotized? Are people really that weak? Do they actually approve of what is being done to them? It remains a mystery, I guess. What is with all the yes-men and namby-pambies? Oh well. I guess there is no more land of the free and home of the brave -- just a lot of wimps. How pathetic! Nobody fights for anything anymore, eh? Well, all I can say about that is people make their bed, and so they can now just lay in it. Pitiful. Go figure.
You know, there are so many people that remain very misguided and misinformed. It’s really quite sad to see how deceived folks have become. How lost in the sauce they truly are. The essence of liberalism is to satisfy their emotional idealism, and then worry about the consequences of this later. This is they way they like to operate. They have more focus on fulfilling their grandiose and narcissistic utopia than to have integrity and to do what is right. This is a very self-absorbed motive they have. These people are psychotic. They are psychopathic. And it could not be any more obvious what their real agenda is. I see it as clear as day what they are pushing for. They want bigger government. They like control. They like ruling with an iron fist. Do you understand how insane these people are? They want to take or do away with people’s sense of self-reliance, or their reliance on God. Don’t let God be their provider – just let the GOVERNMENT be their provider! Don’t you see the real agenda here? Now what is it with people that when you try and have a rational discussion with them and attempt to explain what is going on in reality, they get all over-defensive about this and start to accuse you of “cutting them off”, “interrupting” them, or “insulting” them? Whatever you say to them they have their guard up so high – you know the types, right? It’s as if they are going to, at any moment, pick up the phone and call the Though Police in George Orwell’s novel, 1984. I mean, my goodness! We can’t say anything directly without somebody being offfeeeended about something. They don’t seem to ever want to have a reasonable conversation with others anymore. We get accused of being “negative” or that we do nothing but “complain”, or we are somehow “ungrateful”. Well, all I can say is just this: GET OVER IT! Such is life! Okay?
But somehow people like me get blasted for defending our God-given liberties. How is THAT fair? How is it I upset the apple cart for simply wanting what is right? For criticizing policies that are obviously terrible ones – I’ve become the enemy? So I am vilified simply for just pointing out certain things about someone? You shallow, hollow-minded hypocrites! You superficial, blind puppets! You have NO CLUE what they are doing to you, do you? NO! Of COURSE not! You can’t see the forest from the trees you’re so dense! Some of you people have clouded your brains with psychotropic drugs! You’ve become a bunch of hypnotized zombies drinking the Leftist Kool-Aid! Possibly you have also damaged certain functions in your brains due to the carbon dioxide from the soda pop you drink too much of! You have been so manipulated by media propaganda you can’t even see it! You poor, pitiful creatures! You silly Lilliputians, you! You have failed to know how it has all happened, so late in the game to you, haven’t you? You fools! YOU MORONS, YOU! You are mentally ill! Look what you are doing to yourselves! You slowly let yourselves be destroyed! WAKE UP! Wake up to reality! You have become slaves! You have absolutely NO PERCEPTION, do you? NONE AT ALL! You are pitiful, some of you people out there. You are so PATHETIC how deceived you are! Why do you buy the façade? Are you that naïve? What is wrong with you? Don’t you realize what kind of revolution is happening now in America?
This narcissist egomaniac named Obama has let his “Presidency” go to his head! He’s living it up to however far he can take it, thanks to Van Jones or Bill Ayers, or any of his other cronies. And you can throw mud in my face all you want to, but I am NEVER GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND about him! I will CONTINUE to say what I know about Obama – like it or lump it! I am TIRED OF THE RIGID IDEOLOGUES! I don’t care if I never hear another B.S. speech come from this college professor’s mouth, either! Got that? I have no respect for Obama. What is there to respect about the man? He is EVIL! He approves the murder of billions of unborn babies! WHAT A CREEP! People need to check their facts about Obama instead of parroting mainstream media propaganda! You can throw pies at me or roast me on a skewer all you want to, but it does not phase me one bit. You can be like those brainwashed schoolchildren that say “mmm….mmm….mmmm” all you want to, but COUNT ME OUT! Because I am not one of those children. You can sing and dance around this man called Obama, but I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT! And if you have a problem with that, then you can go live in San Francisco. I don’t even consider that as being part of the real United States, as far as I am concerned anymore. They are not on the grid. They might as well be in Europe or in Amsterdam, where all the other socialist creeps live. Obama’s goon squad doesn’t scare me. They can kiss my behind! Political correctness is just a nicer way of referring to cultural Marxism, but I call it as I see it. I don’t have to mince words! Got that?!
"But somehow people like me get blasted for defending our God-given liberties".
I don't see any other posts by you that people were "blasting" you unless you perhaps had posted under another name.
Perhaps it's because you invoke God while spewing all manner of hatred at anyone less enlightened than what you pompously assume yourself to be.
Perhaps its because you call people 'evil', 'creep', 'pitiful', 'naive', 'pathetic', 'lazy minded' etc.
Perhaps it's because your rant seems nothing more than an addled right wing, hate filled monologue.
Hunker down and keep an eye out for those black helicopters.
You throw around the term "hate", quite loosely. Perhaps it is because you are very resentful of the truth about liberal behavior. Maybe it is because you have something to hide about YOURSELF psychologically. It is quite expected, though, however, that you accuse people of the very thing that more than liely you are guilty of yourself. After all, those who use defense mechanisms such as "hate" or "right wing" often know that it is because someone struck a raw nerve in them. What is interesting to me is the outright hypocrisy from the Far Left "Progressives" (Communists) to show their mud-slining efforts or to attack someone's character (Argumentum ad Hominem). This is the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument. Often the argument is characterized simply as a personal attack. The personal attack is also often termed an "ad personem argument": the statement or argument at issue is dropped from consideration or is ignored, and the locutor's character or circumstances are used to influence opinion. The fallacy draws its appeal from the technique of "getting personal." The assumption is that what the locutor is saying is entirely or partially dictated by his character or special circumstances and so should be disregarded. So in other words, when someone gives no real consideration to any possible facts or assertions being presented, in that it might question or challenge their preconceptions about a matter, they then resort to attacking someone else (like me) on a more personal level or on a level of individuality. It’s a device they use quite often to keep from ever facing a certain aspect of reality that evidently, they are uncomfortable with. So because it is not convenient for them to realize this, or that it should materialize into their conscience, they are very unwilling to reason with me without getting their guard up too high. Therefore, they would much rather use typical defense mechanisms, so to resist a point being made that they are on the wrong side of the issue about. And they avoid any possible validity, hoping that they escape its penetration into the conscience of others who, along with them, live in denial.
In fact, I have seen some very obnoxious radical Left wing liberals act up quite a lot. They often know they have a guilty conscience about it, too. This is why they typically search for a way to project their ideology onto those who are much more sane, like myself.
.....more than liely you are guilty of yourself. =
more than likely you are guilty of yourself.
to show their mud-slining efforts =
to show their mud-slinging efforts
Hmmm, you throw around the terms 'evil', 'creep', 'pitiful', 'naive', 'pathetic', 'lazy minded' etc. Perhaps you need to psychoanalyze that.
Your posts above point to nothing less than the acceptance of people to the status quo. Thumb through a dictionary and research the words 'conservative' and the term 'progressive' in the political sense. Wonder which word meets the criteria of your posts above?
