"Never missed a day of work." Well, its something, anyway.

It's probably a good thing that you hang your hat on being continuously employed as a badge of virtue, cuz you're a complete and utter tool otherwise.

The House just voted in the Pence Amendment, which defunds Planned Parenthood, the largest family planning organization in America. Hellooooooooo, teen pregnancies! Write that senator!

Funny how one heartwrenching headline will wash away all previous evidence like a brain cleansing tsunami for some.

Veganism is largely an unhealthy lifestyle. Not true. Veganism can be a healthy diet. Otherwise is just what the beef and dairy lobby would have you think. Just like a non-vegan diet can be very unhealthy, a vegan diet can too. Any diet requires a thoughtful approach....Big Mac and cokes don't cut it either. For the vegan, there is plenty of sources of meat alternates. Some thought is required to be sure enough iron and B12 is being consumed, but protein substitutes abound. the beef and dairy lobby? OUR SLAVE MASTERS! LOL Most vegans and vegetarians are malnourished because of the inherent difficulty of getting everything we need from these complicated diets. Many resort to supplements - only to piss most it out. Many overeat certain foods in order to get enough vitamins and minerals, skewing their carb/protein/fat mix in the process. Beef is an excellent source of all the proteins you need. It's really good for you. If the beef is grass fed, it's also easy on the environment. The problem isn't beef itself, its the quantity people consume. Recommended serving of beef is 3 oz - which is about the size of a deck of cards. Veganism seems to appeal to people with an overdeveloped sense of guilt and self focus.

This a battle royale between full employment and wealth concentration. The two are nearly always at odds. You can't simultaneously have a large middle class and large upper class. The idea that what benefits the upper class benefits everyone is, of course, absolute bullshit.

Pretty much, yes. Virginia's a shithole. You ever lived there? I have. I can't wait to turn Washington into Mississippi! Go Toothless!

Anecdote versus statistics. Statistically, your first argument was correct. There are always exceptions, of course.

And 12 hour a day, 6 day workweeks....now STFU.

More persecution!!!! The Humanity!!!!

The whole Founding Fathers thing is pretty funny - those guys got along about as well as we Spraylords do. One might say that we're just continuing the argument they started.

Burr was another horny one - livin' large with the colonial bitchez one step ahead of his creditors.

Old Ben went to France and basically stopped showing up for work. So many French ladies...so little time. Jefferson's early romantic attempts produced a lot of FAIL - including a bid for another wealthy Virginian's wife. The letter he sent her referring to his manhood wasn't a charmer, apparently. Victorian SHUT DOWN.

Pound for pound though, Franklin's hit rate was higher.

Unlike the Great Man, I steer well clear of the teen scene, though. Jefferson was as much Fondling Daddy as he was Founding Father. Still, Sally Hemmings was, by all accounts, a hottie.

DOOD. Make your life easier and use Ignore for those poor souls afflicted with excessive ball-sack-licking drive. You should have KKK's repertoire of 3 responses well memorized by now; you're basically responding to a wind up toy with a life support system attached.

DOOD. FOX never uses statistics. They don't need them...they feel what's Right. FOX doesn't hire Smart. They hire Angry. Danny Bonaduce (Partridge) was on 2 nights ago for expert commentary!

Geometry is King. The rest is window dressing.

A case for peaceful revolutions You gotta love adherents of Jefferson's famous 'blood of patriots and tyrants' quotes, given his own sorry military performance during the revolution and similar wide gaps between his statements and his behavior on a number of other issues regarding liberty. Bluster without performance was as popular then as now. The worst thing a revolution can do is attempt to fight the regime on its own terms: direct military confrontation. Much better to play on the dictatorship's weak spots - they always have plenty.

"We're going to go negotiate with our unions in a collective-bargaining fashion to achieve goals," the Republican governor said in an interview. "It's not picking fights. It's about getting people to come together and say here are the facts, here are the common-ground solutions." Gov. Rick Snyder, MI Snyder's asking state employees for $180 M in concessions this session...$43 M more than in WI

Um, you don't support ANY unions. STOP LYING!!!!!!

They're LYING!!!! THE CHILDREN!!!!

NYT editorial today: "Meanwhile, the governor is refusing to accept his own share of responsibility for the state’s projected $137 million shortfall. Just last month, he and the Legislature gave away $117 million in tax breaks, mostly for businesses that expand and for private health savings accounts. That was a choice lawmakers made, and had it not been for those decisions and a few others, according to the state’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau, the state would have had a surplus." Walker's proposed law would limit contracts to 1 year (yup, let's go through this EVERY YEAR) and disallow union dues from being automatically deducted from paychecks. Collective bargaining for wages only, with wages severely capped. No union busting there.

More than anyone else here save KKK, Nitrox diligently parrots damn near every one of FOX's sound bytes, word for word sometimes. A free thinking libertarian of the highest order! And, hey, NO LYING, mkay?

Spoken like a true Republican! LOL
