    Scott don’t you read your own links? Greenhouse gas emissions are down. The overall growth for 8 years is much lower than the previous 8.

    #58 “What ever the fuck “natural economic law” is. ”

    And this is how the Dems will screw it up further,
    (doesn’t seem possible after Boosh but it is) the people that support Omama think that economics and the forces that governs it is mutable by fiat.

    What ever the fuck are you saying? That is totally irrational. You can’t define “natural economic law” except to state the your Omama or mommy or whomever, will screw it up. Well I don’t know what your grandmother thinks and probably don’t care either. Obviously you don’t know anything about Economic Principles.

    Typical wing nut tactic is to blame the Democrats for their fuck ups. It happens every time by whatever wing nuts show up. Geeze, I wish you morans could get a brain.

    Read much? Boosh screwed up big time. None to blame but him (and repugs in congress).

    Omama & dems will screw up just as bad. What don’t you understand?

    Who your Omama is. I’m not sure but isn’t Omama Nigerian familiar for grandmother?

    I notice you still haven’t explained this “natural economic law” you mentioned.

    BTW, I am so glad you can read the future. Which stock do you forecast as a hot tip?

    #67 “BTW, I am so glad you can read the future. Which stock do you forecast as a hot tip?”

    Energy stocks.

  8. Li says:

    #64 The “just as bad” part is what I don’t understand. I mean, I expect them to screw up, these are American politicians we are talking about, but if I were to believe that they would screw up just as bad I would be buying 100lb sacks of beans and building myself a bunker.

    Even 4 years of ‘just as bad,’ at this rate = the Apocalypse (and I’m talking the rivers of blood version, not the opening enlightenment one). Have a little hope; the Dems are bad, but believing that they are just as bad as that lot of frauds, phonies, tortures, criminals, perverts, spendthrifts and even a few outright traitors is rich.

  9. Li says:

    I did mean torturers, but living with their rule has been somewhat tortuous.

    If this were a democratic president he’d already be in jail.

    #71 “If this were a democratic president he’d already be in jail.”

    No. LBJ & FDR didn’t go to jail. Now, Kennedy was shot for his stupidity but that’s different. He turned on the criminals that helped get him elected…

    26-28..
    Its interesting about food.
    Business makes changes to MAKE MONEY.
    They will do anything to get costs down and make MORE money..
    LOOK AT THE FOOD..and find out whats going on.
    Being poor, I found I would rather eat food that TASTED GOOD, in smaller portions then to EAT CRAP that didnt even fill me up. ask the POP companies HOW drinking a Soda/beer, makes you thirsty.

    30,
    I would rather a CAP on MAX wages…or forcing Min wage and TOP wage, then ANYTHING gained ABOVE that is given to Stockholders and TAX..

    REALLY, it would behoove the Gov to place into BUSINESS a STRUCTURE, for how a business is to be Accounted..HERE is the 1 TAX form..QUIT trying to GIVE back money to business.
    ========================================

    PS.
    I want a Box on the ballot…
    NONE OF THE ABOVE.

    We also need to clean up the LAW/rules for being able to RUN for president..They are so complicated and require you to have MONEY, LOTS of money to even consider running.
    Which means you need a MAJOR group to back you. the only ones BACKED are the PUPPETS..

  13. Paddy-O says:

    #73 “QUIT trying to GIVE back money to business”

    How do “give back money” that doesn’t belong to the gov’t in the 1st place?

  14. Mr. Fusion says:

    #72, Cow-Paddy,

    No. LBJ & FDR didn’t go to jail.

    Yup !!! Typical wing nut ruse. Shift the blame to a Democrat.

    LBJ did more for Civil Rights and protecting minorities than any other President. He saved countess lives and raised a whole population from poverty and misery. That he continued and escalated the war Eisenhower started is another matter.

    Why are you blaming FDR? He kept us out of war for two years before we were attacked. Would it be because even though he was crippled he had a mistress while you can’t even get laid?

    Moranic wing nuts !!! Next you are going to blame George Soros for Climate Change.

  15. Paddy-O says:

    #75 “Why are you blaming FDR? He kept us out of war for two years before we were attacked. ”

    And allowed Pearl Harbor to happen. You have read the Navies Blue Book regarding disposition of US fleets while negotiating with hostile naval powers, right?

    Or, how he kidnapped people from foreign countries based on ethnicity and imprisoned them in the U.S.?

    I can’t keep educating you. Go get a K-12 education and then I’ll start answering your inanities…

  16. Dr Dodd says:

    #75 Mr. Fusion
    >”LBJ did more for Civil Rights and protecting minorities than any other President.”

    You had better check your history. LBJ’s welfare programs literally destroyed the black family. The government made it possible for black males to father children then just walk away.

    Yeah, LBJ was a real visionary.

  17. Mr. Fusion says:

    #76, Cow-Paddy,

    You really are living up to your name.

    And allowed Pearl Harbor to happen. So it is FDR’s fault Japan attacked without warning. Next you will tell us he knew about the attack in advance.

    I have no idea what the Navy Blue Book is. I suppose it excuses the Army Airforce’s conduct.

    Or, how he kidnapped people from foreign countries based on ethnicity and imprisoned them in the U.S.?

    While I don’t agree with what happened 65 years ago, imprisoning Japanese nationals and Japanese-Americans was ruled legal by the Supreme Court at the time.

    I can’t keep educating you.

    Wing nuts have a very difficult time differentiating between fact and fiction. When Rush, Savage, O’Reilly, or some other neo-con idiot leader tells ’em sumten, they believe it without comment. Please quit posting such blatant bullshit. You’re embarrassing yourself.

  18. Paddy-O says:

    #77 – “LBJ’s welfare programs literally destroyed the black family. The government made it possible for black males to father children then just walk away.”

    I was bowled over when I read the studies of the stability of Black families before and after the LBJ “civil rights” legislation. Truly shocking.

  19. Paddy-O says:

    #78 “I have no idea what the Navy Blue Book is. I suppose it excuses the Army Airforce’s conduct.”

    And this is why your lack of education prevents you from “getting the point”.

    The document in question dictated that when in the position we were in with Japan that you have your fleet’s whereabouts unknown to the enemy.

    As CIC, FDR didn’t enforce this policy and thus let our fleet get sunk at anchor. Without his active malfeasance as CIC the attack would have been a loss for the Imperial navy.

    How come you are ignoring his kidnapping of innocent civilians and throwing them into concentration camps?

    Oh, well. Enough of educating on the basics.
    I’ll send you a bill. What’s your address?

  20. Paddy-O says:

    #81 That’s because he was educated (before dropping out) in a public school system that only “teaches” social indoc.

  21. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    Dr D, Paddy Cake, you guys got some kind of neocon circle jerk going on?

  22. Dr Dodd says:

    #83 Monster’s Lawyer

    I guess that makes you the pivot man. Chug-a-lug.

  23. Mr. Fusion says:

    Cow-Paddy and Dr Duh,

    If brains were made of dynamite you two wouldn’t have enough to blow your own nose.

    #80, Cow-Paddy,

    As CIC, FDR didn’t enforce this policy and thus let our fleet get sunk at anchor. Without his active malfeasance as CIC the attack would have been a loss for the Imperial navy.

    That has to be the stupidest comment to come out of a neocon wing nut since someone said Bush is a good President.

    How come you are ignoring his kidnapping of innocent civilians and throwing them into concentration camps?

    Why? Was it illegal?

  24. natefrog says:

    Paddy-O;

    Uh, seems your version of history is foggy.

    The US Fleet didn’t sustain much in the way of damage; all major carriers were out to sea and were not damaged. These carriers ultimately led to Japan’s downfall. Conspiracy theorists claim FDR knew about the pending attack and that’s why the carriers were gone.

    Err, my last point was meant to be directed solely at Paddy.

    Wait, are you talking about Bush?

  26. RSweeney says:

    Thank heavens the liberals and Democrats have been so supportive of President Bush since day one.

  27. MikeN says:

    That list of country attitudes is bogus. The numbers for 2000 come from a different source.

  28. Mr. Fusion says:

    #89, Lyin’ Mike,

    So do you have better numbers? How about some numbers that refute these?

  29. Paddy-O says:

    No more illegal than anything Boosh has done…
