Nazis are not right wingers?Hitler wanted to restore "traditional German values" Are you saying that Nazi idealogy is not far rightwing idealogy? It depends what you call "right wing". Hitler could really get together with Stalin their only difference was about whether or not just own the capital (communism) or just control (dictate) the capital (things that make money, like factory and tools) but giving the illusion of private property. Today's what is "left wing" and "right wing" is really all mixed up. I would not call any of these parties (republicans/democrats) right wing anyhow..they are both left wingers. The only real true "right wing" are the libertarians, like Ron Paul. Stalin was about as socialistic as Hitler was liberal. Libertarians are libertarians. The Libertarian PARTY is right-wing, however. Also, the Dems/Repubs are both moderate right-wing parties and as a socialist, I can tell you Obama is no socialist. Most of us don't even consider him a leftist (I consider him a left-leaning centralist myself). |

If Mexico can't take care of themselves, maybe they should just become a part of the U.S.. It would fix problem of immigration and sub standard pay, bring in new tax money, and force the U.S. companies who move there to own up to their tax liabilities. We already tried that. We annexed Mexico over 1 1/2 centuries ago, but the Mexicans complained, so we set up an interim gov't and granted southern Mexico independence while keeping northern and central Mexico. It was called the Mexican-American War. |

Topic:
Liberals VS. Bleeding Hearts
|
|
Well, a lot of us have seen it and participated in bashing liberals but in reality it is time to face up to the deeper reality of our criticism. I have found that Liberals are eating a lot of blame for Bleeding Hearts unfairly. Liberals believe in more socially oriented government. There is nothing wrong per say with that. Government has a duty to promote life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it also has a duty to provide for common defense and promote social welfare BUT this has been blown completely out of context these days. Enter the Bleeding Hearts. These people make me utterly sick. These pathetic excuses want us all to follow their belief systems which is "we have so much we need to share with the rest of the world." its all hugs and rainbows for them but they seem to forget that not everyone in America has the privileges and family money a few of us have. I for one have very little and struggle day to day to make a living and at times I have to go hungry to pay my bills. I do not feel fortunate at all while the Bleeding Hearts (who usually come from well to do families and have financial resources I sure in the hell don't) act like all of us have so much we need to share. Fact is that if you have lived in poverty your heart does not bleed for anyone. Bleeding Hearts could care less where the money for their give always comes from because they are under some delusion that we need no account or should receive reciprocation (in the sense of getting something in return) for our acts of charity. They try to compel our government to support people who do not deserve our support. They think money will solve everything. Unfortunately money aggravates the problems of the world far more. Example, Africa: of all the aid we sent in food and money how much of it actually makes it to the people in need? In many studies the numbers were shockingly low. In many instances the aid never made it and the food sold in local markets instead of distributed like it was supposed to be by local governments. Many charitable organizations bleed off a huge percentage to their "Operational" costs (cough cough, paychecks...). Many local governments in countries receiving this aid pocket it instead of distribute. Mexico: Things are bad there. I mean it is really bad. Many people demand we help but the fact is unless we invade them and take over there is nothing we can or should do. It is an internal problem Mexico needs to solve for itself. We cannot fight their war on drugs for them unless they were under our flag, not theirs. Sovereignty issues folks! It pisses me off that there are so many in need within our own country and these "Feed the starving children of Africa," jack offs forget about the starving children of America. How can we face the problems of the world when we cannot even solve our own problems? Want to solve the Starving Children issue in Africa? BIRTH CONTROL, NOT FOOD! Nuff said... They need to be thinned down a little anyways. At least Liberals in a pure sense are the heart and conscious where the Conservatives are about accountability and morality. Together the two create balance, too much of either and you get what we have now. We cannot have one without the other but the two sides are always so right and then enter the Bleeding Heart. They come in both flavors. A lot of misconceptions of how liberals and conservative play in our government is smoke screened by Bleeding Hearts who have infiltrated the system and vote in huge aid packages to unfriendly nations. They give so much to everyone and they have no idea, clue, or care where the money comes from. Even poor Americans to them are privileged and while we go hungry they (our leadership) dines on lobster flown in from Maine. They complain about how much we have as Americans driving along in a 100K + Mercedes Benz while the rest of us are stuck with Ford, GM, and cheap Asian imports. Most of us eat rent each month, they own four or five homes at least. Like I said, your heart does not bleed when you have lived in poverty. We need to take a serious look at how America spends money and stop it with the Foreign Aid! This whole "Starving Children of the world" think is utter crap! We can not solve anyone else's problems until we solve our own. When we have done away with Poverty in our own nation then we can focus our attentions on the rest of the world. Ultimately Liberals need to understand that the money they spend on social programs has to come from somewhere. The bleeding hearts need to get a grip and not spend so much energy trying to compel us to give to everyone who does not deserve it. For example the homeless issue... Some people are victims of circumstance and other factors. These are people truly in need of a helping hand and government should be there to give them the tools to get back on their feet. Some people really do not try to milk the system. In the communist ideal they are Workers. They are the backbone of American prosperity. BUT now we talk about the Parasite, the people in the communist ideal that are not contributors and just bleed everyone else for their comfort. Living in Los Angeles I see a lot of Homeless and supposed Homeless. The real homeless are easy to tell apart from the fakers. It is how dirty they are and how they dress. Many Tweakers and Skeivvers (Meth addicts and Smack addicts) usually dress in clean cloths or something about the way they dress does not exactly smack of real homlessness. They look pathetic but in reality they are just as dangerous as rabid dogs. Given the chance to rip you off they will. They always have signs that say Homeless and Hungry and will work for food. Offer them work and they will turn it down. Offer them food and they look at you like you pissed them off. Typically a real desperate person will be thankful for any act of charity. The problem is all of them know where the shelters are and all of the shelters have a no drugs policy and the ones camping out in dirt lots and freeway underpasses are more than likely (19 out of 20 times) on the Shi*. Another dead give away to Tweakers and Crack addicts (who I like to call Cracklins) is their teeth. DEAD giveaway! I know of one homeless man who is a long time Street Bum. He hangs out on Hawthorne Blvd and 166th in Lawndale near the old Circle K. He is there just about every single day pacing in the same place or sleeping in the bushes. He is there because he wants to be. He looks like he has not seen a bath tub in about ten years. he is not a drug addict but he is very troubled. The man became disillusioned with life and snapped. From what I heard about him he was an engineer. He has been offered help and he does not want any. He never bothers anyone. Oddly I would compare his appearance to that of an Aborigine in a lot of ways but he is white. The fact is... You cannot help someone who does not want it and some of these people have a constitutional right to live the way they want to. There was one woman I seen in Redondo who had a smell I could detect from twenty feet away and she was having a conversation with her reflection in a window. Between addictions and dementia and the constitution when is the government supposed to step in? CAN IT EVEN DO SO WITHOUT CONSENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL???? NO unfortunately. The individual HAS to want to be helped. Welfare was a prime example of the failure of money to solve the problem. For women to get money for having babies spawned a whole new set of problems like a baby boom of unwed mothers to get at that government check. It also led to a boon for the illegal drug trade and alcoholism. The Katrina Hurricane is also another example of the failure of giving money away. Many people receiving government subsidized housing actually never tried to relocate and had to be evicted recently from government housing. Of the FEMA money given most of it was squandered on boob jobs, Hummers, BMWs, and vacations. The fact is human nature works against the greatest of ideas. Why do you think communism failed? Human nature... Great idea but the fact is it was doomed to fail from the beginning. So now I have a clearer sense of who I revile in the political scene more. I am not mad at the Democrats or Republicans so much as I am pissed off at the Bleeding Hearts more! Overall Congress made this mess. The whole "suffering masses" thinking in our government is not helping anyone out. Congress needs to learn that money is not the only answer to everything! So do the damn Bleeding Hearts! Can I breath now??? And that has been MY rant of the day!!! Cheers! Someone gets it! |

And people still think this is a free country... Just wait and watch 'em when Socialism really comes to their front door. Considering many (if not most) socialists are anarchists... Ya, no. You're thinking of fascism and getting confused by too much Fox. Pro tip, Fox NEVER uses dictionary definitions. NEVER trust them when they start throwing words like socialism or conservatism around. |

* Read * VIDEO * PHOTOS * TIMELINE Decrease font Decrease font Enlarge font Enlarge font TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi told followers Monday he will "pay any cost" to contest the country's presidential election results, but said he had little hope his challenge would succeed. Iranian opposition supporters protest in Tehran on Monday in the largest demonstrations there in 30 years. Iranian opposition supporters protest in Tehran on Monday in the largest demonstrations there in 30 years. Click to view previous image 1 of 3 Click to view next image more photos » Moussavi made his first public appearance since Friday's vote during a massive rally in central Tehran. The official results showed incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning with more than 62 percent of the vote, and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei -- the true leader of Iran -- has given his blessing to the outcome. Moussavi has alleged fraud and filed a complaint with Iran's Guardian Council, which oversees elections, but he said the council had not remained neutral in Friday's vote. "I don't have any hope in them," he said in a statement posted on his campaign's Web site Monday evening. The fraud complaints will be looked into by the Guardian Council, which is made up of top clerics and judges. The council is expected to issue its findings within 10 days. An Iranian official who asked to remain unidentified said allegations the Guardian Council was in Ahmadinejad's corner are "unfair and unfounded." In the United States, President Obama said Monday he was "deeply troubled by the violence I've been seeing on television" in Iran. "I think that the democratic process, free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent -- all those are universal values and need to be respected." Don't Miss * Q & A: Was the Iranian election rigged? * Iranians take their protests online * CNN.com in Arabic * iReport.com: On the ground in Iran "We respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran," Obama told reporters at the White House. Obama did not take a position on the claims of election fraud. But he said, "The Iranian people and their voices should be heard and respected." "Whenever I see violence perpetrated on people who are peacefully dissenting, and whenever the American people see that, I think they are rightfully troubled," he said. "I think it would be wrong for me to be silent about what we've seen on the television over the last few days." In Tehran, Moussavi surfaced in a sea of protesters who flooded Azadi -- "Freedom" -- Square on Monday, wearing an open-neck striped shirt and waving to supporters. Iran's Press TV reported hundreds of thousands of people attended the rally. Photo View images of unrest in Tehran's streets » Though the event, the largest protest in Iran since the 1979 revolution, was largely peaceful, at least one person was reported to have been shot to death near its end. Demonstrations continued into Monday night, with Moussavi's supporters taking to rooftops to chant "God is great" -- an echo of the 1979 revolution that established the Islamic republic. Parisa Hatami, who attended Monday's demonstration, said the calls lasted for about half an hour. "This was what people were saying 30 years ago during the Islamic Revolution," she said. "Today, we used those words against the government." Moussavi, in his statement, called on authorities to stop attacks on his supporters by police and Ahmadinejad's supporters, and he urged his followers to continue demonstrating peacefully. "You are not breaking glass," he said. "You are breaking tyranny." Iran's Press TV reported hundreds of thousands of people attended the rally, and Hatami said the crowd stretched down one street for nearly 8 kilometers (5 miles). The streets "were full of people who never, ever, come to demonstrations in Tehran," she said. "Everybody knows we've been cheated," she said. "This regime, it's like they're just playing with us." She said it was "impossible" that Ahmadinejad would have racked up the totals in the official results, which she called "a big lie." "They tell everyone, 'You don't understand, and you are nothing.' That's the matter," she said. "What is eating me is that they think we know nothing." Hundreds of riot police were deployed at the edge of Monday's march, but did not intervene. However, Press TV reporter Amir Mehdi Kazemi said he heard gunshots at the rally and at least one person, a boy, appeared to be injured by the gunfire. "A number of people started shooting, I heard a couple of gunshots, and then this resulted in a number of people ... yelling at that particular building," Kazemi said in his report on the government-funded TV station. "The police have not shown any involvement in this issue right now. The people are running." A photographer for another news agency reported one person had been shot and killed. A photograph from that agency, which aired on CNN, showed a man apparently lying dead on the street with a large amount of blood around him from a gunshot wound to the head. Another man squatted over him, his arms outstretched. The news agency has not linked the photograph with the photographer's report, however. And another photograph showed a man who appeared to have been shot in the abdomen; he is alive and being carried from the scene. View timeline of Iraq's modern history » CNN could not independently confirm the reports. Moussavi and the other two defeated candidates, Mehdi Karrubi and Mohsen Rezaie, have reportedly been invited to the Guardian Council on Tuesday to discuss any concerns over the election results. In his Monday statement, Moussavi told supporters, "The election fraud was obvious, and I will pay any cost to realize the ideals of the Iranian nation." Amateur video from Monday's demonstration showed people clapping their hands over their heads -- but there was little or no chanting of political slogans among the marchers, and demonstrators quieted anyone who tried to shout, because the Interior Ministry has banned political demonstrations. Video Watch report on latest violence in Iran » The rally was a repeat of a march that Moussavi supporters staged Wednesday, before the election. Many of the participants wore green, a color traditionally associated with Islam that Ahmadinejad opponents have adopted as their own. Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of the election by a margin of 2-to-1, surprising many experts who had expected Moussavi to win. But Kaveh Afrasiabi, a political scientist who supports Ahmadinejad, said the incumbent's widespread support in rural areas and small towns was the reason for his victory. Ahmadinejad is "populist" who favors "redistributive justice" and "pays keen attention" to rural areas and small towns, where 75 percent of Iran's voters live, Afrasiabi said. Moussavi may have won in the capital, "but he lost in the provinces, and that's something they have to come to terms with," Afrasiabi said.Photo See images from protests around the world » There have been several violent incidents blamed on groups of Ahmadinejad supporters. Armed with clubs, metal batons and baseball bats, men in motorcycles reportedly combed through streets and alleys for protesters Sunday, chasing and beating them. On Sunday, a family that lives in a high-rise apartment near Moussavi's election headquarters in Tehran reported that their building was attacked by militiamen. Photos show damage to the building and nearby vehicles. A relative of one of the residents, who did not want to be identified, said the attack happened after people inside the building shouted "Dictator!" and "Allah o Akhbar," or "God is Great," from the windows. Protests have also been held in cities including Washington; London, England, and Toronto, Ontario, while tens of thousands of others championed the demonstrations on social-networking Web sites. Video Watch protests in London » advertisement Iranian authorities closed Al-Arabiya's Tehran bureau for a week without explanation, the Arabic network said on Sunday. Two reporters were attacked outside Moussavi's headquarters on Friday, according to Reporters Without Borders, the France-based media rights group. Video Watch report on beaten journalists » Reporters for an Italian station, RAI, and for Reuters were beaten by police in the capital, Tehran, the group said, and a CNN producer was hit with a police baton.

I know this much.You could take all the Americans out of America and put them in any country on earth and in 100 years it will be the greatest country on this planet.However if you took all the Americans out and just left the USA to the illegal's it would end up a poor,3rd world country like Africa or Mexico. Africa has the fastest growing economy in the world... |

Show me an innercity that is vibrant and functioning in perfect harmony as liberal socialist thinkers believe in
Liberals (capitalists) and socialists/communists (socialists) don't belong in the same sentence. To say such shows a complete disregard (or ignorance) of the 2 economic philosophies. I've got no problem debating you but PLEASE use facts. Immigrants, if legal, are a good thing. We seem to be short nurses, doctors and other forms of skilled labor. As for the illegals, alot of that would be solved by just simplifying immigration laws. Would YOU wait 14 years to get out of some hellhole? |

allowing an over abundance of immigrants is part of the plan to overburden the system, welfare, healthcare, economy..Read some of obamas mentors writings and you will see what it is all about..Acorn has been working for this for many years! ACORN was never an issue until it was made 1 by the Right-Wing Media. Ever wonder why? Probably not so I'll tell you, ACORN is a non-issue! If you want to find an organization that's out to kill democracy, attack the Florida Congress, an organization that hand picks voters. |

Pandemic Level now at 6.

I talked with my doctor about the swine flu thing when it was first out. He said all flu is dangerous because noone knows which strain is coming out each year and it kills every year. So call avian, call it swine it is still the flu and it will still kill every year. This is a flu that kills the healthy young (and leaves the sick, vary young and old unscathed most times), can't be tracked due to fast spread, has breached all defenses normally put up to stop the spread and spreads easily from Human to Human. This IS NOT Swine Flue, it's Human Flue with Swine and Avian Flue components that evolved from Swine Flue. So yes ignore it if you want, just consider this, the 1918 pandemic was... N1H1. |

Yes. The potential one is always thousands of miles away. And THAT can be a good thing. Nothing like a change of scenery to solve life's problems. Risky though. To risky for me if I don't have a few years knowing them under my belt (and I do have a few online only friends I've known for years). |

Iranian Fact:
1. Persians have a higher approval rating of America then Americans. 2. Iran was surrounded by 2 hostile nations, 1 a secular, expansionist and imperialist power called Iraq, the other a radical and violent theocracy called Afghanistan. Both nations were conquered and the threat they posed neutralized by the US, a driving force for the above point. 3. Persians are decidedly Westernized, going so far as to eat at bootleg TGI Fridays and watch bootleg DVDs of Western movies in spite of Western sanctions and gov't restrictions that deny them legit examples of these goods. 4. Most Persians support not only friendly relations with the West but an outright alliance with the US especially. 5. Iran's nuclear program was jump started by the US. After the Islamic Revolution, the program was discontinued by the Supreme Leader. The current program is a resent development and all credible sources from Iran itself to the CIA have come to believe Iran's claim for a peaceful nuclear program. In other words Iran is the solution, not the problem, or so it would be if handled right. They even offered to HELP in Afghanistan. |
