    Really.

    Tell us... how many Neo-Nazi websites do you read?

    Do you frequent them a lot?

    Why is that?

    Really... I find this... fascinating.


    I read multiple news sources a day and take them all into consideration...but then again...the website that supports the "alternative lifestyle" must be the only one that speaks the whole truth correct?! :lol: First time in political histrory there is one totally unbiased news source out there! :lol: I always look at it this way...Consumer Reports...huge magazine in this country...they supposedley rate products without bias correct? Well the person that's testing that particuliar car, tv, kitchen appliance, still at the end of the day has his preference. Can he really get into that Chevy and say it's better than the FOrd...when at the end of the day, he leaves his office and gets into the FOrd he chose to buy and drives home? :lol: Any news source is nothing but opinion. Read them all and make up your own mind.

    Just read back. :fp: That is unless you edited it. :lol: Guess I should have went back and checked my grammar a few posts back since that's what you're more concernied about. :lol:

    Hm... I also don't think I've insulted your grammar. Can you point me to that?

    Let's see... you're racking up quite a list of things you said are easy to find...

    • Neo Nazi sites that say Paul Ryan is pro-gay.
    • 50 mainstream sites that say Paul Ryan supported the end of DADT.
    • my saying that people should only take what they need and then give the rest away like "communist Russia."
    • me insulting your grammar.

    Or maybe you can just learn when to fold them and walk away. You're embarrassing yourself, now.


    Word of advice...just scroll back. Doesn't take a genius to do that. :lol: And also you're good at...no think you're good at putting words into other people's mouths. You need to keep reading man. "Neo-Nazi sites say Paul Ryan is pro-gay"!? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Good one trying to slip that one in there too...along with the rest of your "points"! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    (slipped that one in, figured it would be a freebie since you apparently read those websites. There actually ARE neo nazi sites who say that he's pro-gay because he once voted for the ENDA. Mind you he only did that so he could kill it moments later, but there you go.)

    Actually all of the "points" you made I never said. You may interpret them that way or transform them that way...but I never said them. You did comment about my grammar but that I don't give a shit about. :lol: And yes I have seen Nazi sites and have read them. I've seen the Advocate as well. I've read webpages from Cananda. Pages from Iraq. Sites from Germany. I even read TMZ. I'm all over the web reading shit. Doesn't make me support or be anything other than an information seeker to forge my own opinion.

    Well but yeah... you did. That advocate article listed a bunch of votes and you said you could find 50 other news sources to contradict that. I told you to find one. Just one. One article that contradicted anything in that advocate article.

    And instead you told us that you have a pool. Then said I said things I didn't say. Then tried to go theater of the absurd and said that the president is a "murderer." Because that was easier than admitting that you... kinda got owned.
    You did comment about my grammar but that I don't give a shit about.

    Yeah, no. Care to point that out?
    And yes I have seen Nazi sites and have read them.

    Color me so surprised.

    Wow. Like I said before...scroll back. :lol: And thanks for inferring I'm a Nazi becasue I have read their sites. I guess that makes me someone of an "alternative lifestyle" because I have read the Advocate right? :fp: :crazy: :roll:

    so your egocentric views are pieced together from various sources. yet you still blather on with nonsense cause you can't handle it when others make valid points based on facts & reason. after reading your posts you do come across as foolish...i also agree that you don't make sense.

    I actually make perfect sense. Call me egocentric...call me any name you want. I say the way things are...I post what I feel...I post facts. I can handle a lot worse than somone can sling on me here. If people want to live in some fantasy world of how they want it to be...great, go change it. When it's changed I'll support it. Until then, it's the way it is. BTW...did you know Obama is a murderer? :lol:

    your electoral system is a fraud ... congress is a fraud ... it's all a fraud ...

    there is only one option: and that is revolution ...

    Well, I think, thanks to a couple of AMT regulars here and their silly discussion, that everyone that has read the last several pages is at least just a little bit dumber for it. So you have that going for you. ;)

    There have been many times I've given things of mine to people I thought needed them more. Maybe that makes me weak or stupid. Or just someone who realizes that sometimes we all need help.

    I commend you for doing good deeds. My problem with the Democratic party's line of thinking regarding handouts is that I don't like being told what to do. I especially don't like being told how I have to spend my money. So I have a difficult time backing a candidate who forces me to contribute tax dollars to federal programs that 'help' the unfortunate. If I want to help these types of people I should have the option of donating my time or money to their respective charity. My belief is that I should take care of me and my family first...everyone else is a distant second.

    The older I get the more these handouts bother me.

    depends on the context. corporations doing well = domestic jobs.

    In the case of HD, I'm fine with them cutting jobs if they're the union variety :D

    Not saying my statement correlates 100% of the time...but I don't think the auto industry is the best example to supporty your stance here.

    I've worked jobs for private sector and the public sector. The private sector may be cold-hearted, but at least it's not dumb and inefficient. If the government cared about efficiency with the same zeal as the private sector, we would be in the black financially with socialized healthcare for all.

    The word handouts is a joke. There are millions of kids in this country who don't have a chance at a normal life, not a fucking chance. No shot at a normal education, no shot at a normal job, no shot at anything that resembles a normal life. How people don't think we should do anything we can to support these kids and try to give them at least somewhat of a chance, boggles my mind. What's an extra $10 bucks out of my paycheck. One less beer at a concert or sporting event, if that.

    My family’s foundation (that I am a board member of) gives money to in need libraries. Libraries that support kids in terrible situations and teach them the importance of reading. Applications in the past year have increased 400% and the situations in these communities is depressing. 95% on the free lunch programs (that’s a handout, right? might as well take that away make these little dark kids starve to death, then there will be less handouts), well over 85% of parents don't speak english or have an high school diploma. These kids don't have a chance.

    How anyone can not think that the inequality in this country is a sick thing and not want to fix it, whether it means giving something up or not, absolutely boggles my mind and I honestly think that anyone that can look at the situation in our inner cities and think these kids don't deserve some help is a bigot.

    Wealthy white people not wanting to help this country depresses me. We live in the greatest country in the world according to many, yet there are millions of kids who won't eat lunch today while people who are bitching about taxes have filet and scotch at lunch.
