more like middle class of the world unite, you dumbass

still doing what the right wing does best: blaming average Americans for family income not keeping up with inflation for the last 30 years (despite the generalization of 2 wage earners families), good jobs lost to no benefit-no living wage regions (and blaming unions for corporate greed), etc ... families needs cars to make up for lack of public transits (that dead-enders have beat back through anti-tax demagoguery), 5 plasma TV's wouldn't even pay for 6 month of healthcare.

"it's about freedom to be denied health care by insurance corporations" Orwell couldn't have imagined it any better.

Actually, it wasn't "my side" that did that whole deal. It was that Third Way guy. Remember? Anyway, I'm not looking to have you or yours as friends. Just keep your lazy-ass political ideas off my fucking property. What happened? Suddenly Fairweather stopped taking responsibility for his supporting military dictatorships that have disappeared their opponents throughout Latin America (and elsewhere). Remember how Fairweather was the only person here who vehemently supported the Honduran coup d'etat 6 month ago, that resulted in death, massive repression and loss of freedom for Hondurans (even though Fariweather gargarizes about "freedom" in every other sentence)

Over 2,200 US Veterans Died in 2008 Due to Lack of Health Insurance: a new study [...] estimates four times as many US army veterans died last year because they lacked health insurance than the total number of US soldiers who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the same period. A research team at Harvard Medical School says 2,266 veterans under the age of 65 died in 2008 because they were uninsured. Their estimates are based on their recently published findings in the American Journal of Public Health that shows how being uninsured raises a person’s odds of dying prematurely by 40 percent. The researchers also found that nearly one and a half million Veterans between the ages of 18 and 64 were uninsured last year. While most veterans are eligible to receive care from the Veterans Administration, those who were not injured in combat and whose income is above a certain threshold are often ineligible. http://www.democracynow.org/2009/11/11/study_over_2_200_us_veterans

that's ~20 times the average population rate.

You don't beat commies, you disappear them. you are getting pretty shrill if you think that advertising the jack-booted policies you supported against left wingers for decades in the developing world is going to win you any friends.

you need to turn on your snark radar.

I had their prosciutto, copa and salami. Everything but the salami was top notch and reasonably priced too. wth is in that picture G-Spotter?

Obama hasn't decided anything yet about Afghanistan but rest assured that all reasonable options are still on the table: a) 40,000 additional troops as requested, b) 35,000 American troops and 5000 NATO troops, c) 30,000 US troops and 10,000 NATO troops, and d) 25,000 additional American soldiers plus 15,000 NATO ones (otherwise know as the cut and run option). See, all possibilities are being considered.

It's one thing to be taken by someone with the right credentials and who says all the right things at the right time, but it is something else to be taken by someone who has no credentials and who tells you that up is down.

come on. Don't play the victim. You posted tea-bagger propaganda that play games with Obama's skin color.

good foresight from bush dead-enders? I'd call it lunacy.

do you really expect people to believe that you changed Obama's skin color but the meaning of the picture has nothing to do with Obama's race? you must think people are stupid or something.

This kind of propaganda doesn't even pretend to be rational. It's all about pulling people's strings through fear-mongering on race, ideology, ... COnservatives and their media are expert at this after decades of playing this game to manipulate the clueless.

You claim the meaning is all about Obama being a clown but the meaning is in fact open for interpretation. IMO, the clown/joker meme doesn't fit too well (at least in comparison to the prior occupant of the white house) but I note that face painting was mandatory in racist minstrel shows for a couple hundred years, and what to make of Obama with white face paint? is he a black dude taking on the role of a white man, like being president for example?

How come I am not surprised that right wingers are playing games with Obama skin color in their propaganda. You guys could be a little more subtle, no?

Did you hear the latest wingnut conspiracy theory about Obama being best pal with that commie dude that built the great wall of china?

Woe is me, I just bitched about perpetual war. What have I done with my life that'd make my complaint receivable?

Noam Chomsky sees no significant change of US foreign policy under Obama: No change

That may well be but it's all we got.

To be able to dismiss it outright, one first needs a reasonable premise to ponder its existence.
