Far out, man.

BTW

Red Skelton explains our Pledge of Allegiance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfz2XDXaeqc

in 1999 some San Francisco liberal sued saying that was prayer in the public schools; the courts took the easy way out and noted he didn't have custody of the child reciting the Pledge, so he couldn't sue over her saying the Pledge.

PPS

According to the Washington Post that photo isn't the pledge, it's them standing for the national anthem

its from the B.C. comic strip, ZOT is the sound of God's lightning

"Huh?  How does that even answer the issue of the US needing to retain technological competitiveness in order to survive?"

I'm saying there's not a huge gulf between what Obama will do vs what McCain would do.  Also, its not like some video game where Japan would be at Robotics IV and we're stuck at Robotics II.  Japanese and European innovation would become industry standard and we'd begin innovating from that point whenever it became profitable to explore.

oh and I can afford HEALTH INSURANCE and don't bother to buy it, that's not the same as HEALTH CARE

2. MIlitary power and oversees war"

that's a proper function of government.  the others aren't.

"That's still only a minimal tax increase.  Nothing compared to Obama.
As for reaching out to Democrats, let's face it: He might reach out on littler issues...Slight tax increases are bad,but adaptable."

Fine, dump McCain and let's nominate an open liberal instead of a fake conservative

Did he nail Galadriel?

I bet I'm the only guy on IC apart BW and JA and Flint and well ok I'm one of a dozen guys who actually saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in the theater, its original release.

Well all but the holocaust scene, dad covered my eyes

I didn't see that until 4 years later at Grandma's house.. The guy's face melted, and then we were called to eat Thanksgiving dinner...

I wasn't very hungry for some reason yikes

good, let's speed it up.

Northern Europe will be a morass of hot mud...the island nation of Kiribati will be consumed by the sea...that is of course, unless they pay us a hefty ransom?

Zarf

McCain likes cap-and-trade, and reaching out to democrats = higher taxes...resume your list...

>>Isn't it funny? they have only 3/4 of USA GDP per capita but they have a better HDI!<<

Suggests the HDI isn't very accurate.
And as I say, we don't lose 18,000 people to a heat wave.

>>Like americans military like to say "No one is left behind" but in your country millions of people are indid left behind with no money to pay for there medical bills or education for there kids. <<

We also have more generous bankruptcy laws so people who can't pay for everything can balance their debts out and still save a lot of equity.

In USA unlike say France, you don't have to compete for the privilege to attend a four-year college.  You just find one that will take you.  YOu can apply anywhere in the USA if you're willing to travel.  And there's billions to cover the cosets.  It just takes more ppaerwork that is usual.

>> It is selfish to kick someone from an hospital when they do not have a medical insurance.<<
If they're in danger when moved that's illegal here.

Well hell, ditch them both for the animatronic Lincoln from Disney World!!

I don't see how Obama can be so bad as to ruin the USA forever AND not be so bad as to be obviously toast in 2012.  But then, I have a living memory of the Carter years.

It's going to get bad.  They warned us this was coming when we dropped the gold standard, but it took 35 years and a competing cabal of industrialized nations with their own currency to burst the bubble.

ZOT

You can't get efficiency from a government serving 300 million people. Even China doesnt although it does a fair job repressing complaint as laziness and disgrace.

Zarf I feel you, that is where I was in 2006. But afterwards I felt the scorn of RINOs who blamed me and my honest conservative brothers for the hosing the Party took in November. I got told too often that -I-, Mr Republican, who was in the street in 1994 to rout Der Schlickmeister, was a drag on the Party. The Party couldn't afford to care about right v wrong. The Party expected me to support the Party no matter what. And then I heard it from on high. Hagel on Iraq. Specter on aborton. McCain and Bush on immigration. Rice on Hamas. Lott and Delay on pork. These were enemy positions that my Party found perfectly acceptable. That isn't why I defended the GOP to friends and family for 20 years. The purely partisan spin is pointless. The ideological battle requires a blunt separation from an organization that is no longer our vehicle.

No that's not true.  The country rallied to the conservative opposition in 1994.  And that opposition did destroy a lot of liberal systems that even Reagan couldn't budge.  Like making Welfare temporary.  And ending "baseline budgeting" where the Fed took the rate of inflation, assumed it would double over the next year, and increased spending based on that.

And again, McCain is the champion of a Republican movement to abandon conservatism and just do whatever.
