Fred Thompson: MoveOn, Reid Are Taking ‘Extremist Positions And Doing Extremist Things’
Fred Thompson: MoveOn, Reid Are Taking ‘Extremist Positions And Doing Extremist Things’
Last night on Hannity & Colmes, former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN) claimed that congressional leaders are “adhering, to the extent they can, to the most left-wing element of their base. You know, MoveOn.org and those folks are running the Democratic Party. And they’re taking extremist positions and doing extremist things.” He added: “Harry Reid is doing things that I think the American people are going to reject.” Watch it:
Thompson has been out of politics for some time and apparently hasn’t been following U.S. public opinion very closely. A few things he should note:
– 64 percent favor setting a timetable for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq sometime in 2008
– By a 57-35 margin, the public favors Congress over Bush in having the final say on troop levels
– The public’s fear is not that Congress will go too far (31 percent), but rather, that Bush won’t make enough changes (61 percent)
In the interview, Thompson also said war critics are “as near to investing in defeat of their own country as anything I’ve ever seen.” Maybe Thompson hasn’t been paying attention to the Iraq war either. Bush’s management over the entire Iraq adventure has been an investment in one failure after another, and has forced Congress to demand accountability and change course. But Thompson was too busy criticizing war critics to note any of Bush’s failures.

Transcript:
HANNITY: Well, let’s deal with the people that — your immediate competition. You talked about Senator McCain. Rudy Giuliani is tops in most of the polls we read now, although you’re doing well for somebody that’s not in the race. I’m sure you’re probably following some of these.
THOMPSON: You know, I’d be more likely to talk about the Democrats than I would the Republicans.
HANNITY: Oh, so you’re striking me out on that one?
THOMPSON: Let me try to be responsive to your question. As far as the Democrats, they are adhering, to the extent they can, to the most left- wing element of their base. You know, MoveOn.org and those folks are running the Democratic Party. And they’re taking extremist positions and doing extremist things. Harry Reid is doing things that I think the American people are going to reject.
They’re as near to investing in defeat of their own country as anything I’ve ever seen. And I don’t think the American people will forgive them for that.
So they’re going through that exercise. And let’s just let them go. Let’s just give them a little rope and see what they do. Our name-calling and carping on them right now is kind of wasted effort, as far as I’m concerned.

Well said Fred!
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:34 pmI can barely type I’m laughing so hard, Fred says this on Fox News.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:35 pmmessieur thompson is clearly french
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:38 pmRight, he should have gone on a show no one watches, maybe Olbermann should invite him.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:38 pmright - EVERYbody who opposes what the neo-cons in D.C (and the media) are cheerleading for just must be an extremist, a communist, a terrorist - or some other “undesirable” right?
Thompson is part of the far-right establishment that seems to prefer an end to all political dissent.
It’s these people that are doing the “extremist” things - for they’re opposing the real things this country stands for - liberty and the bill of rights.
Some interesting reading:

May 2nd, 2007 at 2:40 pmFred gave up politics for (tainted, liberal) Hollywood bucks and a trophy wife. Now that the Republic party is so desperate for someone to save them from total ruin he is going to play the role of hero. What is it with Republican and not so good actors?
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:40 pmIt helps to keep Thompson’s opinions in perspective by remembering that he is a “fellow” of the American Enterprise Institute. Each and everything he says or does should be taken with a ton of salt.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:41 pmOy. I guess Fred Thompson doesn’t want to be president either.
Why are these people wasting so much money on campaigns if they don’t want to win.
They don’t make sense.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:41 pmExtremist things? Like starting a f’n war for no good reason!
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:42 pmThanks MoveOn for informing the democratic leadership about the inconvenience of receiving president Alvaro Uribe of Colombia, some quick facts about Uribe:
His appointed chief of the secret police is accused of collaborating with the right wing paramilitaries during the killings of several unions members.
Several of his senators are in jail for collaborating with the right wing paramilitaries, including the brother of the former foreing minister.
Uribe’s brother has close ties with members of the cocaine cartels and in one of their family’s ranchs several killings where made by the right wing paramilitaries
In case you don’t know the right wing paramilitaries are a narco-terrorist organization responisble for a hughe part of the cocaine trade to the US, almost all of their chiefs are wanted for extradition to the US, but Uribe’s goverment has denied those extradition as part of a “peace deal”
And you are still sending Uribe’s goverment millions of dollars in millitary aid ??
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:43 pmThompson clearly fits right in with the smear tactics so beloved of the right wing. And he definitely does qualify for the ugliest candidate should he decide to run. Bill Mahr was right, he does look like a Basset Hound, or was it a Blood Hound. Either/or
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:44 pmFred is going to be the next president.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:44 pmBush’s management over the entire Iraq adventure has been an investment in one failure after another, and has forced Congress to demand accountability and change course. But Thompson was too busy criticizing war critics to note any of Bush’s failures.

I take it thinkprogress.org takes it as a failure that we removed Saddam Hussein and that this monster was put to death.
I take it thinkprogress.org takes it as a failure that Hussein’s sons were killed in battle.
I take it thinkprogress.org takes it as a failure that Iraqis have had fair elections.
How sad for thinkprogress.org to believe that removing Hussein, a Nazi Like monster, is a failure.
these kids running thinkprogress.org believe Michael Moore too much.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:45 pmWell, for one thing, I reject you Fred. Yuck.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:46 pmPatricknone, I watch Olbermann, and he’ll be able to keep the job that fathead Rush couldn’t, are you keeping up or do I need to explain?
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:46 pmKevin,
just lost my lunch, on that one.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:46 pmI don’t recall MoveOn.org and ‘those folks’ in the Democratic Party taking extremist positions and doing extremist things like starting a preemptive war on terror and spending our country into perpetual debt.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:47 pm… and by the way, p1 you do have one thing right Fox News is a SHOW

May 2nd, 2007 at 2:48 pmyes, extremist Moveon.org who put out a competition to see who made the best anti-Bush commercial and they winner to them was someone that compared Bush to Hitler. Yea, nothing extremists about this.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:48 pmThe most left wing - do they mean the 60% of Americans that agree with moveon and Reid? Or are they referring to the 30% wingNUT children like valiantthehater?
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:50 pmFreddy, Rudy, and sittin’-on-the-fence John will never be president, it’s hilarious that those stupid republicans think they have a chance.

You have an *honesty* problem - no wonder you’re a Republican. This is a flat out lie… You disgusting immoral piece of sh*t. But it is people like YOU that cause the NAZI comparison - BIG LIE boy.

I take it thinkprogress.org takes it as a failure that Hussein’s sons were killed in battle. Comment by valiantthehater — May 2, 2007 @ 2:45 pm
No, we take it as a failure, that we went after Saddam, and Osama is free - Jake*ss.
I take it thinkprogress.org takes it as a failure that Iraqis have had fair elections. Comment by valiantthehater — May 2, 2007 @ 2:45 pm
Fair elections? BAHAHA, is that why 1/3 of the population boycotted them? Is that why they consider the government a SHAM?
How sad for thinkprogress.org to believe that removing Hussein, a Nazi Like monster, is a failure. Comment by valiantthehater — May 2, 2007 @ 2:45 pm

And who is the number one rated show?
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:54 pmAn extremist is one who is on either side of a centrist. For an extremist on the Right to call an extremist on the Left an extremist is merely a statement of fact with no value judgement. To imply or infer a value judgement on a positional statement is asinine and shows the ignorance of those trying to make a point by innuendo. Even the centrist will err if he attempts to glorify his position by vilifying either side as extremists with a value connotation. There is no right or wrong in left or right. Facts must be proven and value must be shown. These fools do nothing but shout meaningless claptrap to justify their position in their own minds. They are just preaching to the choir and will not change anything, especially their own confused minds.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:57 pmValduhhatah dosen’t hate america, just americans.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:02 pmFirst of all, if they WERE “adhering, to the extent they can, to the most left-wing element of their base” then Bush and Cheney and the whole pack of liars would have been impeached and behind bars by now.
Secondly, the LAST thing this country needs is a representative of the American Enterprise Institute in the White House!!!!!
I, personally, will fight that possibility with every fiber in my being!
It’s bad enough that in the last election BOTH of our main choices were Skull & Bones alumni. If an A E I guy gets in then the whole planet is freaking doomed!
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:03 pmFred Thompson is not really a fascist.
He just plays one on TV.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:04 pmFred Thompson would divide the Republican party between church going conservative and moderate republicans.
The Republicans definitely have a conservative problem with McCain (too “Liberal” and speaks his mind) and Guiliani (a bit nuts and unpuritanical marital history), so I hope he does run and gets his face on Fox news.
Chances are none of these three would win the 08 election anyway.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:04 pmI don’t imagine his comments are going to sit too well with those Republicans, who like us are against the war, as they also have a firm grip on reality - unlike him, Patrick1, Jake, etc.
Pounding out the same lies isn’t working anymore, and it certainly won’t make this TV actor president.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:04 pmOkay, so now we know that Fred Thompson is still a Republican whore. Good look running for president, Fred. I can’t wait to see the carnage.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:10 pm#20 valianthehater
yes, extremist Moveon.org who put out a competition to see who made the best anti-Bush commercial and they winner to them was someone that compared Bush to Hitler. Yea, nothing extremists about this.
Wow! You don’t even pretend to get anywhere close to the truth, do you.
“…they [sic] winner to them was someone that compared Bush to Hitler.” When you say winner, do you mean first place? Maybe one of the top tier of entries? Or, is “winner” synonymous with “participant” in your mind?
In this case, one of about a thousand entries did compare Bush with Hitler. Since that entry didn’t win and, in fact, didn’t even merit further consideration from the judges beyond a first viewing, I think it would be fair to say the entry was a “loser”. I guess that’s confusing to you. It probably explains why you think you’re a winner.
Say anything you want as if it’s a fact. Don’t let that pesky reality get in the way.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:12 pmIt was a great interview. He has my vote if he runs.
Comment by Happy Guy
Yeah and if you were a chicken, you would vote for Colonel Sanders.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:13 pmHey Fred, if you’re thinking you might want to be president of this country someday, you should probably try to find out what its inhabitants are thinking. The majority of them are what you call “extremists”.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:14 pmAll I need to know on this Thompson geezer, Just another Gingrich as far as I can see.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 pmAnd who is the number one rated show?
Comment by $ — May 2, 2007 @ 2:54 pm
That wouldn’t change the fact that the idiot posted that no one would see the second rated show. Now would it Jake*ss?
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:18 pmThompson and other big government neo-conservatives love to engage in psychological transference, in which they project their own failings onto others. Whether they do this consciously or unconsciously is irrelevant.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:19 pmIn regards to “investing in defeat of their own countryâ€, Thompson is gambling that the gang who can’t even defend their own military headquarters, as we witnessed on 9-11, will be able to carry out successful military operations elsewhere in the world. I wouldn’t trust the gang that couldn’t shoot straight to mow my lawn, let alone engage in a massively complicated and expensive military invasion. Since the invasion of Iraq is immoral and illegal under international law, how does one define success anyway? It’s like trying to decide if a gang rape was successful or not. The entire premise of the statement is wrong. Furthermore, the Iraq war has cost 655,000 Iraq lives, 3300 American lives, and the final cost of the Iraq war is estimated by Nobel Laureate to be $2.26 trillion dollars. In addition, the cost in terms of America’s stature in the eyes of the world, is incalculable.
In regards to extremism, Thompson is promoting a war that is rife with war crimes. The invasion of Iraq is illegal under international law, the use of depleted uranium, MK-77 napalm, and white phosphorus weapons are profoundly immoral and illegal under international law. Furthermore, the human rights abuses at Abu Ghraib, including the probable sexual torture of children as described by Seymour Hersh, are abominations. So who are the “extremists†here – those who promote the above crimes or those who oppose them?
You all know that you all love Fred. Good times. Did you know he sometimes sits in for Paul Harvey?

May 2nd, 2007 at 3:21 pmThe religious right Republicans are simply obsessed with sex
by John Aravosis (DC) · 5/02/2007
And really creepy sex at that. One of the lead religious right groups, the American Family Association, in addition to promoting a known hate group on its Web site (a group that is lumped together with neo-Nazis and the Klan in a report compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center), is now publishing on its site a list of what it calls “sexual orientations.” The list is filthy, it’s the kind of thing we would never publish on this blog under any circumstance. It’s not child safe by any means, and the AFA’s Web site should be banned by every child safety filter in the country (please report their site if you know how to do so). Basically, the AFA is flipping out that others groups in society, like gays and women and people with disabilities, will be included in the already-existing federal hate crimes law - a law that ALREADY covers the religious right. Yes, the religious “special” right doesn’t want to share their special status under US law. So what is their latest tactic? To declare that the word “sexual orientation” in the proposed hate crime amendment will include sex with animals, feces and corpses (the following link is NOT work-safe - you can see their bizarre sex list here).
These people call themselves Christians. They’re sick. Do check out the filth they published on their Web site. The religious right Republicans are simply obsessed with sex, obsessed with gays, obsessed with filth. They are simply obsessed.

May 2nd, 2007 at 3:21 pmFred Thompson is the shill that the neo-cons have picked to fly in under the radar, he’s going to be there next Bush.
Also,
This article concerns me,
Stranded on a desert island, candidates would want books:
Continuing its “personal side” series of offbeat questions for the presidential candidates, the Associated Press reports on what they said they would want to have if they were stranded on a desert island.
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ onpolitics/ 2007/ 05/ stranded_on_a_d.html
I’m really disheartened that only one candidate out of the fourteen asked that question answered it as a “practical†matter! It hurts even worse that the practical answer came from a republican!
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:22 pmWe need practical answers to our problems and all of our Democratic candidates for the POTUS want to sit around and read a book! (Can you say Status quo?)
This is the reason I can not find anyone to back! I want to follow a leader who will find solutions not get comfortable!

May 2nd, 2007 at 3:22 pmLet these guys remain in their right-wing, Faux News and Rush Limbaugh bubbles, where their way is perfect, and anyone against things like the Iraq War are “extremists”. Those kinds of opinions will just push more and more centrists away from Republicans, and they’ll continue to get swept out of power like they were last November.
I can’t wait until the Presidential debates when one of these Republican clowns tells 70-plus percent of the nation that they are “extremists” or “traitors” for being against the Iraq War, and thinking it is time to bring the troops home already from that disaster. Their little fringe 20% right-wing radical fringe Rush Limbaugh fans like Patrick1 might cheer, but the rest of the country will say, “Well, I’m not voting for this guy.”

May 2nd, 2007 at 3:32 pmHarry “Surrender” Reid is a typical “throw in the towel” loser. I hope Fred Thompson runs!!

Ah yes, my investment portfolio is quite impressive with all that stock I bought in DEFEAT AMERICA CORP.
The Iraq Occupation: The “war” that will end the existence of the U.S.A. if we are not victorious.
(With the definition of victory being whatever Authoritarian Pro-Occupation Republicans say it is, which is due to change from day to day in order to keep perpetual occupation going in the name of ‘the war on terror’)
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:42 pmKevin, in regards to “left wingâ€, I’m not sure what you mean, precisely. If by left wing you mean big government and big taxes, let me point out that you, as a supporter of the Iraq war, have promoted corporate socialism, involving massive giveaways of our tax money to the war profiteers, such as Lockheed-Martin, Dyncorp, Bechtel, the Carlyle group, etc. We’ll be paying increased taxes for the next two generations, as a result of your corporate socialist programs. If by “left wing†you mean standing up for human rights, I make no apologies for my stance. I should point out that Jesus of Nazareth opposed empire, the death penalty, and torture. Was he “left wingâ€? Furthermore, even staunch conservatives, such as Edmund Burke, denounced the abuses of the British East India, the corporate war profiteers of his day.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:45 pmValiant Venus,
Yes, because if we just PRETEND we’re not losing Iraq, it means it’s not really happening! Don’t you just love playing pretend? You know, like when you pretend saying Bush has lost Iraq is worse than Bush actually losing the war.
The Emperor has no clothes, but you’re mad at the guy who dared to point it out.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:45 pm“He has our nations’ best interest at heart”
you mean being on a tv show and marrying a young trophy wife?

Fred Thompson IS a right wing extremist. Go read his crap that he writes over at National Review. His views are all out of the mainstream.
May 2nd, 2007 at 4:05 pmPresident Bush is the endproduct of right wing extremism. His views, his actions, the systomatic destruction of all government agencies. This stuff didn’t happen by accident. Bush is the ideological leader of the 28 percenter right wing extremists in this country and Fred Thompson is his ideological heir apparent.
If Fred has the balls to run for office, then these facts need to be broadcast far and wide.
Bush suckered the country with his faux folksy charm, which concealed his right wing extremism and Fred is counting on doing the same.

(Fred Thompson) has our nations’ best interest at heart (which is sure to upset Progressives)!!”
Hey Valiant,
You sure are grasping at straws here aren’t you? What does that say about the other stallworths on the neocon side of hell. You know, McBush and the other no nothings blathering and pandering to your radical “religious” nuts. The ones you keep defending as the great leaders in our presidential future. I guess you will have to admit that they are pretty bad now won’t you? (Based on what you say about “Mr, Law and Order.”)
I’m disappointed in you sweetie! I didn’t think you would fall for some would be actor from…gasp…Hollyweird, of all places. (How you Reps knock Hollyweird except when it comes to choosing candidates.) But then you were fooled by RayGun and I would guess “the terminator” as well. One would think your belief in the Hollyweird “solution” would be dull by now But no. “There you go again”, as RayGun used to say. Tsk, tsk.
Psst Valiant: It won’t upset “progs” who your sorry party puts up. The Republic Party’s ass is grass and the Dems are gonna be de lawnmower in 2008. Bring on the ‘law and order man,” baby…
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:12 pmYou know, VALIANT DOUCHE BAG, everything you post is pure crap, plain and simple. You are hated by everyone who knows you, hell even your family hates you, your pet hates you, you are a scum sucking subhuman repukian spin machine, kiss by butt you hag.
Hating VALIANT DOUCHE BAG daily

COXUCKER PUNK TRAITOR TO THE USA (TM–BushCrimeCo, Inc.)
Extremists are now the new mainstream.
These 20 percenters are so way behind!

Dear Mrs. Mom - I don’t hate 67% of Americans. I dislike the 17% of Americans who identify themselves as “liberal, very liberal” as well as the smattering of anarchists. But I do find them EXTREMELY entertaining….
#74 - Merlin - If you know anything about Fred Thompson, the one thing you might know was his role as co-chief counsel in the Watergte hearings. May I assume you’ve heard of those proceedings?
Fred Thompson is an accomplished person with a variety of skills and interests. The only Dem who would give him a run for his money (considering his experience and common sense) is Bill Richardson. And we all know how the Left feels about centrist business friendly governors who brag about the taxes they’ve cut.
As usual, you miss the point of what “upsets Progs”. The thing that upsets the most fervent Progressive is love for the US - before the Hague, the UN, etc. Up to speed now??
#75 - And finally for our pubescent friend, Buck, the junior vulgarian? Did you flunk another reading comprehension test?? I’m sorry. But look on the bright side - “No Child Left Behind” was designed with you in mind!!
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:26 pmFred Thompson…
…like Ronnie Raygun…
…an “ACTOR”…
hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Repulsivescum DESPERATION…

He’s also a fellow at the AEI, which is probably why you love him so much, and also why he’s such a wingNUT that he’s unqualified to ever hold office again!
Fred Thompson is an accomplished person with a variety of skills and interests. Comment by valiant venus — May 2, 2007 @ 10:26 pm
And a lunatic wingNUT. Sorry, that’s not *accomplished*, that’s a loser - like YOU!

I know you won’t read this… It is past your bedtime but I am out here in LA so it isn’t that late for me.
Well, sweetie, I’m about as far left as you get without being conspiratorial. You have read my serious posts, I assume, and you still have no idea what upsets me, (or progs here.). I believe I can speak for most of the progs here on this point having read their points of view. (They can correct me if I am wrong). What makes us angry has nothing to do with your fantasy idea. Are YOU up to speed now? Maybe you’d like to guess again? Oh yeah you’re in bed already.
Sweet dreams…till tomorrow little trollie

Now, stoppy, you know that site you referenced doesn’t tell the whole story. Very few people say “if you don’t love it leave it” just because of opposition to the war. It’s when you want to totally remake America, and compare the administration to Hitler and otherwise fail to acknowledge the good in America that people don’t want to hear from you and want you to leave. People wonder why lefties can’t say America is a great country worthy of our loyalty, but we have some problems that need to be addressed. If you disagree with more things about our county than you agree with, people don’t see the need to bother with you.

May 3rd, 2007 at 2:12 amFair elections? BAHAHA, is that why 1/3 of the population boycotted them? Is that why they consider the government a SHAM?What percent of US voting-age citizens boycott the US elections? 67% turnout is far better than we can do here in the US…

May 3rd, 2007 at 4:15 amI’m amazed that such shrill, negative, hate-filled speech as I see posted here comes from those that are supposedly “progressive”. I don’t see any PRO type speech, only guile and anger.

Bush is to Hitler, as Roger Clinton is to Bill. Understand now - son?
Perhaps you should tell Valiant Venus - your fellow troll. Yesterday she said like MOST Conservatives there isn’t much she agree that the US government does. You know, the social programs, regulations, taxes, social security, etc. I bet you agree - right child?

Says the f*cker that doesn’t agree with *most* things in this country. I hate to inform you, but we don’t disagree with the country - we disagree with GOP LEADERSHIP of it - you f*cking loser. I know in your twisted childish mind - you believe that’s the same thing. But that’s how you know you’re an ignorant nazi *ss.
May 3rd, 2007 at 4:22 amThere are times when extremist things are needed. Remember that one guy, way back… you know, the one who said all those extremist things about breaking from the king, and having our own government and all that? Damn extremist managed to be the biggest instigator of the American Revolution, and had the sheer audacity to suggest this strange theory of a free society, and government based on the people. Tom Paine. And that extremist Republican - you know, Abe Lincoln who actually said something about government being of the people, for the people… blah blah blah. Or that other extremist Teddy Roosevelt who thought we should… get this… protect our natural resources! Ha. Extremists. Bah.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:28 am#84 - “….It is past your bedtime but I am out here in LA so it isn’t that late for me.

Merlin - Silly me - I always thought LA and San Diego were in the SAME time zone! Who knew? But if you stand on the beach in Santa Monica (facing north to beloved San Francisco) keep sidestepping left…left….left…..left….splash!
A question: HOW does one become an extreme Leftist and NOT believe in conspiracies? Pick a conspiracy…any Lefty conspiracy…..ie: “How did the evil GWB get Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Senators Kerry, Clinton, Rockefeller, et al. to publically attest the danger of Saddam - - all the way back in 1998? Hmmmm…”
“Bush behind 9/11 - and our steel analysis “found” his fingerprints!!!” …”Evil corporations plan forced slavery - when consumers have no purchasing power, they will bus the enslaved in and FORCE them to shop!!”…..”Conservatives hate the environment - - but since they own all surplus gas masks, their motto, “Let them breathe sludge” is apt.”
Toooodles…….

What assholes you libs are. You’re worse than any characature of the Cons with your arrogance - and your inherent hatefulness and bias against everyone - typing them by race gender and polictical creed.
You guys are the ones the nation should be afraid of - you’ll ruin it far worse than the Cons ever will.
Libertarian is the only solution.
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:14 pmYou know what’s really funny, all of the sheep move towards a TV character delivered by the Neo-Cons to get away from the talking points at hand that one wants to hear
Such as:
-Fed bank not publishing M3’s anymore and the falling dollar. We are borrowing money from the Japanese and Chinese banks to finance everything from Home Loans to “political policies and agendas” around the world.
-Peak oil, how we are running out of resources and it is getting harder to extract it. If we want to innovate, we need to start working on a NEW RESOURCE before we the world market begins to crash.
-Health care, how HMO’s , PPO’s plans lie about the coverage or simply put “caps” that are unrealistic and that we end up paying out of pocket.
-Middle Class, how the falling dollar and higher interest rates have begun to destroy our middle class while making other country’s middle class stronger.
-Immigration. the criminalization of people who are hired by american companies to worked miserable wages instead of hiring CITIZENS. How about instead of trying to catch 12 million illegals, we just kill the source? Business that hires illegals, we just take their US business license? They decide to go overseas? We just prohibit them from doing business?
-Corruption. I cannot even begin here, but if you cannot see the truth, I think this is what liberals call “State of Denial”.
May 31st, 2007 at 8:09 amThis is about keeping the status, quo!
June 19th, 2007 at 1:42 pmIt’s easier to blame those phantom liberals, know any?
Than to discuss what is wrong this with country, i.e, starting police actions to feed the mic, or the fact that all the money in this country is concentrated in the hands of 600,000 people at the top.
They keep richer and we are getting poorer, keep waving that flag though!
