Put the bong down, and stop posting.

A pox upon you for not including pictures...nice job.

I don't think you qualify. So, are you ignoring my question wrt the rich, or what?

Your premise that the majority of America is poor is mistaken; thus, your theory is meaningless. Further, your assertion (or implication) that the "rich" are Republicans is blind to the fact that some of the richest members of the House and Senate are Democrats.

The biggest trick the wealthiest of this country ever pulled, was convincing the public, that what is good for them, is good for you. What, pray tell, is wrong with being wealthy, or aspiring to wealth? I do, every day. Pursuing success, prosperity, wealth...when did these become bad things? You are missing the point. Hmm...okay, I'll play dumb (lots of practice). What point am I missing?

Bwahahahahaaha....smoking weed or begging for money are not Olympic events.

Wow, mattp cruising the Cato Institute site; maybe there's hope for you yet.

Are you saying that they both float? And, if so, what other things float?

Invaded = Need to fight back.

Nothing has changed as far as I know. Did you use the "natural anchors" for the second rap? If so... you have more balls than I. Must have; I'll ask my partner. If I didn't add webbing, then it was probably good to go.

Central American imports who shave....at "11".

Oriental women always look younger than they are; easy to fake, to be sure. Could we cut one open and count the rings?

The rule is 16 by end of year. Clearly, the rule is not enforceable. Oh, I did not know there were age limits. Interesting.

Does it matter how old they are?

Are you high, right now? Clearly, all the weed you have smoked has affected your memory. The economy during the '80's/'90's sucked? Not really. If you could recall, you might remember that Ronald Reagan ran for President promising tax cuts. When he was elected, he felt honor-bound to fulfill that promise; unfortunately, he was up against a strongly Democrat-controlled Congress. In order to get his tax cut, he had to agree to a shit ton of spending that the Democrats wanted. President Bush actually raised taxes, if you remember. Cutting taxes actually raised tax revenues, but spending also went up...spending money is the job of Congress, not the president.

Uh, hello, Clinton cut military funding big-time, during his time in office.

I think I climbed it, as a group of 3 on one rope, and we had no problems rapping off with one rope. Has something changed since 2004?

speaking of coming out of the closet, I notice that accusing someone of being gay seems to be pretty much the only arrow in your quiver. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Anything you want to tell us? It's OK. You were born that way. You shouldn't be ashamed. Sorry to disappoint, but not gay and I have other arrows to fire. up the ass? There's the little man, with his broken English, acting the mighty warrior behind the keyboard. Welcome.

Saw the title, and figured kevbone was finally coming out of the closet. Nevermind. Carry on.

Spoken like a true conservative. The oil economy is working, too. So is our President. And I bet you hate taxes. No, the government needs to get the hell out of the way and let the oil industry find and refine more oil...see how government roadblocks are a problem here? Of course I hate taxes, mattp. Don't you? Why is my life energy being sent off to Washington to be doled out to people who don't work for themselves? And don't say, "oh, they didn't have the chances and opportunities that you did." We all, I am sure, have family members who lived through the Depression. How did they make it? By working hard anyway they could. Ask yourself why those 47 million do not have health insurance, and I bet you will find that they have CHOSEN not to spend the money; I know people like that. I heard an interesting twist on that infant mortality statistic - it's not that we have more babies dying (we don't, that is absurd), but all these developing countried have LESS babies dying. Why? Oh, because rich, benevolent countries like the US send them vaccines. It is unfortunate about your father-in-law, and your back, but that does not mean a system is broken.

Nationalized health care in Canada, Western Europe, etc, isn't "free" either. You do understand that, right? I know very little about the nationalized health care of other countries. What I DO know is that our healthcare/insurance system here in the United States is not working. It would be nice to see republicans at least admit that. Hmmm...my healthcare/insurance works great! Or, do you mean that the healthcare/insurance of people who don't have any doesn't work? That is a different statement. Don't say the "system" doesn't work; because it does for the majority of people invested in it.

Take more than that peashooter of yours, and be safe.

Do we know that he hasn't taken responsibility for it? Or, are you just supposing?
