LOL, comparing the relatively amazing freedom and liberty you enjoy as an american citizen to "being able to choose between mcdonalds and burger king" -- god you make yourself sound dumb. You should go see the world, Kev. I have never called you a name, like dumb or idiot. Yet you do it all the time to me and others on the site. Who is the fool? Sure, you just tell me that I'm blind and living in ignorance and I only think that I'm free because I can choose between McDonald's and Burger King. How is that not insulting? You're such a drama queen. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. But it sure it fun to rattle his cage.

Better than Fox News. Yeah, but that's a low bar. So where do you get your news from? Serious question Rob. Lets see if you can answer it without sarcasm. I bet you will not be able too. do you want to know where I get my news, or my editorials? The link above was not actually news. Do you know the difference? News is easy to get on the internet, so I don't just have one source. Do you? But for general perusing (i.e. goofing off at work) I mostly use Google's news aggregate, because it offers a pretty good cross-section of both major and minor publishers and I can just randomly find stories that interest me. But for detailed stories on particular interests of mine, I mostly use internet search engines to find articles that interest me, regardless of publishers, and then I make my own decisions on the perceived accuracy of the report based on many factors (it's called critical thinking). I don't have favorite publishers because I think none of them are perfect and most are bad. That's why I make my decisions on a case-by-case basis. Editorials are a little different, since they are not unbiased (by definition) and so there are many editorials I don't read because I know they'd just piss me off (i.e. I don't get Rush's special content he offers on his website). With editorials, I find the author is more important than the publisher since they are usually written by people not actually employed by the publisher in the first place (unlike journalists who report on news). Therefore, my interest in editorials is mostly driven by my personal tastes, and not by whoever happened to publish it -- so again it's mainly a case-by-case thing. I certainly don't have any publisher that I just take at his word, or that I like more than any other. It's all mostly hit or miss. But, of all of these internet sources, I would consider most of the "youtube only" sources to be the most immature and unprofessional pieces of journalism out there. That's just from my personal experience -- there are exceptions, of course. But in general their coverage of the "news" is highly slanted and editorialized, which I view as badly as I view Fox.

Tell them no about what? "No, you can't arrest me for murder?" "No, you can't tax me?" Are you saying the government shouldn't be able to control you for anything? That anyone should just be able to say, "no thanks" ?? What the fuck does that even mean, kev? Anyway, your world view seems to be very black and white, with freedom and anarchy on one side, and totalitarianism and tyranny on the other. But, there are many, many people living in REAL police states that would probably LOVE to change places with you. God, you're like a spoiled kid. No wonder people hate americans -- comparing our country to real police states like North Korea really makes you just kinda sound like a dick. Just saying.

You're always going to be able to find examples of retards, kevin. Even among the police. But that doesn't make America a police state. See the distinction?

Better than Fox News. Yeah, but that's a low bar.

It's called "True News." That's how you know you can trust it.

Yep, and the fact that he's "abusing his power" is exactly why we are not a police state. If we were a police state, the charges against her wouldn't have been dropped (they were) and her pending lawsuit against the city would not be pending.

Wrong.....we do live in a police state. They have the power to order you around and if you do not comply, you get taszed or beaten or arrested. That is a police state my friend. the fact that Bone thinks this is a police state proves my point.

No one notices because America is not a police state. People who live in a police state tend to notice. America has laws and police but is certainly not a police state. +1. Calling America a "police state" proves you don't have any fucking idea what a police state is. That doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong with America, but hyperbole never fixed anything.

It would be neat if the climber's fee at MRNP had an optional "fallen ranger's fund" you could donate to when buying your permit, proceeds of which would benefit families of rangers killed in duty at MRNP or whatever. That would probably have more of a lasting impact than any sort of "in the moment" fund-raising scheme (i.e. slide-show) because the donations would continue in perpetuity, which is really what the surviving family needs. I wonder what sort of benefits the federal government provides for these sorts of incidents. If I were murdered at work, my kids would actually be better off (financially). But, I'm guessing rangers don't enjoy the benefits I do

He's also the only candidate talking about abolishing the EPA and ending federal regulation of the stock market.

Hey Bill, what's a vig? Man, it's a good thing Marmot Princess didnt post this troll in the newbies forum or KirkW would be crying that everyone is being too mean to him

Marmot prince, great troll. They were almost on to you, but then you brought up HACE and really set the hook. Nice work, I applaud you. Showing up and laying down a couple of posts in other forums is def the way to go, isn't it? A hunter has to be patient -- people need a backstory.

Woman eats local squirrels

bush signed more executive orders than all the past presidents combined. How is that a "congress" thing? And do you know what they are? The real nasty stuff allcame through congress. Iraq, Afghanistan, tax breaks for the rich, patriot act. Ironically, bushes executive orders mimicked Ron Paul: less regulation, etc. You should consider taking some pol science classes at the U. I'm not being a dick, im serious -- you sound interested.

Actually, kev, most of the bad things from the Bush era came from congress. Like I said, Ron paul's veto would be interesting, but not at the cost of regulating wall street. And his veto couldn't undo existing damage.

Heres the deal guys and gals. If you vote for Perry, Romney, Bachmann, Newt or Obama.....NOTHING WILL CHANGE. IT WILL BE THE SAME OR SHIT, THE SAME STATUS QUO. It is utterly disturbing that you are not getting this. Do you think by voting for Obama again that we as a people will be better off? Wake the fuck up. I believe it is time to move in an entirely different direction. Sarcastic reply from Rob in 3......2.....1 Hi Kev, I'll give you a non-sarcastic reply, but just one. a) if Ron Paul is elected, lots of BAD change will happen. EPA, etc. In fact, pretty much the only new control he'll have is to do bad things (i.e. abolish the FDA). He won't have any new power to change existing legislation, other than veto power I guess, but even then against a united congress he is impotent. b) he's already part of the establishment. I'm not impressed with his voting record, and am offended by his previous conduct. I understand that you aren't, but I am. c) If he REALLY wants to change things, he should focus on gaining power in the congress. He should move to the Senate. He should recruit others. Remember what the Republicans in the 90's did behind Newt Gingrich? Moving to president isn't going to give him much control to "Abolish the fed" and all of these other things that turn you on. d) so in the end, you get all of the BAD parts of Ron Paul (the parts he has the power to change i.e. EPA, FDA) and none of the good parts (because he can't just change legislation and his veto would probably would get defeated by a united congress on anything important). I mean, i suppose there would be some other benefits because some of his ideas would hold congress in check I guess, but it's not worth abolishing the EPA and FTC and FDA...) e)Look how unified the establishment is against him. You think they'll have any trouble over-riding a veto? And even if they can't over ride any of his vetos, he can't just erase existing laws. So again, all of the BAD paul, and none of the good. f) so if you think he's really going to change anything either, you're being pretty naive. This game has been over for a long time. Ron Paul is part of the enemy, and he's using honey to attract honest people like you, but he's a Republican, kevbone. He voted to go to war in Afganistan. He's been in congress for a while now. Look at his record. If he really wanted to change things, he's gonna fail because the guy just can't get anyone onto his side because of the crazy-ass shit that comes out of his mouth when nobody is looking. Sorry, kev, but you'll never get my love of Ron Paul, because I see through the charade. I agree with you though that Obama won't fix anything. But I'm hoping he will at least do less damage than whoever the Republicans offer up. The EPA and the FDA and FTC et.al. are flawed, but they do A LOT more good than nothing.

I have a magic bone

I love it when anarchists cherry-pick quotes from non-anarchists to try and prove their point. It's like an atheist quoting the pope. Are you sure you're not kevbone?

you can be my super best friend, pink. I was born in Colorado, so u know I have kindness in my heart
