Star Trek

Sigh.  I really wanted this board to be free of political rancor.

But since we're here, Obama is an idiot.  He's a cheat, a liar, a Muslim, not born in this country, and has done more damage in his 3.5 year term than any president before him.

Bush was an idiot too.

Throw them all out, throw the tax code out, and start over.

 Obama himself said that if he couldn't fix things in his first term that He doesn't deserve a second term. I say lets do what the man said and kick him out of office.  I love how people rally around one person as a save all for everything, folks, WE THE PEOPLE will be the solution, not a leader, not a president, The presidents have forgotten that they WORK FOR US!!!!

I consider myself a Technocrat. Like with many things, I feel disappointed by the general level of discourse amongst Trekkies. I would think we should all hold ourselves to somewhat high standards when in comes to science education, social justice and racial integration. Blaming President Obama for anything going on in the economy is as foolish and misinformed as blaming President Bush. We are reaping the long term results of automation combined with the fact that we had a World Trade Center-sized hole punched in our economy, and that is a result of a chain of events going back at least to the seventies. 

The only thing that can keep the Aristicracy in Check is Fear of the Mob. What a coincidence that we are all divided into opposing camps focused on one another instead of the grifters at the top of the system. They want us bickering about marginal tax margins and whether or not the inevitable is real, they want us to be good little fat consumers, scarred witless with threats to our imaginary economy while our masters still somehow manage to reap massive profits. Join no Party or Faction, Swear Loyalty to No One. We are all just animals pretending to be Human Beings, even Mitt Romney has to stop and take a dump every now and then, just like any mud-worm living at the bottom of the sea. Stop taking everything so seriously- we are the pinnacle of the Mammalian Dream

But you are partially right - there is a chain of events, but it goes back much further - to the ProRegressive policies a century ago - we just keep making it worse and worse.

So now that the UN is wanting to do global redistribution of wealth...., "tapping" those evil rich countries - especially the USA - making it pay it's fair share to counties that don't produce.  Right now, it's on the provisional agenda (soon to be finalized) under the title, "World Economic and Social Survey 2012: In Search of New Development Finance".

I wonder how many of the Obama worshippers who support him and his redistribution of wealth (stealing) ideology will support this when they realize that even the poorest of those in the USA is considered rich compared to most of the rest of the world....

now that's just silly.  Are they going to let the people paying taxes vote in UN officials too?

It's not about us (USA) it's about everyone else having access to our wealth.

Anyone else see the report on how much taxpayer dollars it kept to keep the Obama's happy in the White House?????

In 2011...... $1.4 BILLION just to pay the expensive expenses of Obama, family & staff.

Oh, and just for comparison -  The House of Windsor's expenses only cost UK taxpayers $57.8 million.
