  3. Barack Obama's core belief is that we belong not to ourselves, but to government. We are tools that the government is free to use to bring about what Obama calls "economic justice." The fruits of our labor belong to government ... and government can do with them what it pleases. Now if this is your philosophy, then vote for this guy. Then every time you draw a paycheck why don't you drop him a line and ask him how much of it you can keep to care for your family and plan for your own future and how much he would like to have to redistribute to someone who sat on their butt while you were busting yours. After all, you voted for him.
  4. well if the world says so, then it must be correct...
  5. talk about bullshit hype. i cant believe america is about to elect a socialist as president. his policies are going to be a disaster on the economy and fighting terrorism. From boortz.com A note to voters. For a slim chance that Obama can be defeated: 1.Don't even think you're going to change the minds of black Americans on this one. They're going to vote for Obama .. and that is that. So, what else is new? Black America has been in the tank for Democrats for quite some time now. 2.A lot of voters are going to have to get a lot more familiar with Barack Obama. There going to have to realize that he is a man with limited experience – very limited – who has wonderful oratorical skills and not much else. 3.Since most Americans work for small businesses – owned by the very people being target by Barack Obama for tax increases – they're going to have to realize that voting for The Chosen One might actually put their job in jeopardy. See my advice to small business owners below. 4. Voters will have to ask themselves whether they are voting for a candidate they truly know and understand, or if they are merely following the MoveOn-Media-led herd off the cliff. 5. Voters are going to have to see through is lies and half-truths. His latest effort to lead voters astray is his statement that 95% of privately-owned businesses don't earn $250,000 a year. While that statistic may be right, it is completely meaningless. If you understand that, you won't vote for Obama. If you don't, you will. 6. Additionally, voters will have to realize that in the end businesses – and that means all businesses – don't pay taxes. The collect the taxes from their customers and pass them on to the government. Sometimes they collect the money needed to pay taxes from their employees, by firing them and keeping all of the money, or by denying them their next pay increase. 7. Obama-bots are going to have to suddenly realize that character does count for something, and hanging around with unrepentant terrorists, America-hating preachers, corrupt politicians and crooks does say something about one's character. 8. They'll have to understand that Michelle Obama meant it when she said that she was never proud of the USA until her husband became a front-runner for the Democrat convention. 9. More voters will have to realize that America is great because of the dynamic of a free people working together in economic freedom with a basic set of rights guaranteed under a constitution establishing a rule of law, not because of government. McCain understands this. Obama doesn't. 10. They'll have to understand that government is force. Chose carefully those to whom you would give control over the police power of government. 11. Maybe seeing that Argentina has just seized all private pension plans might wake some people up. Who knows? 12. Speaking of corruption ... voters will have to understand that Barack Obama has had many opportunities in his political life to take a stand against government corruption. Not ONCE has he ever stepped up to the plate. There's much more, but you get the idea. Yeah, Obama could lose. But he has the media totally in the tank for him ... and a government educated voting population poised to go to the polls. The odds aren't good.

  9. Everyone screams about Palin being far to the right. What about Obama. He is just as far to the LEFT as Palin is to the RIGHT. Obama is not acceptable either.
  10. ok, but what about what Obama is doing. a bit of a double-standard really...politics of change? i think not...
  11. Oh, if only more of your countrymen would follow your lead....cough*ChrisMartin*cough.
  12. http://boortz.com/nuze/200809/09102008.html#operatives Not that some of you will care, but you do remember how Our Savior won his first election to the Illinois State Senate, don't you? He sent his campaign workers to the voter registrar's office and kept them there until they had managed to disqualify everyone running against him. Now the word is that Obama has sent dozens – who knows how many operatives – to Alaska to work 24/7 on digging up some dirt on Sarah Palin. Let me tell you what Obama would say if McCain sent someone to Chicago to dig up dirt on him. He would whine and cry about a "return to the old politics." Funny how that standard doesn't apply to him.
  13. So you would be able to stand up if someone runs up to you from behind and tackles you? You sir, are a douche bag.
  14. Yeah, we're just jealous. How dare the home team win the gold medal count. Come on, that's the most trivial thing about this olympics. The point is that the Chinese government failed miserably in its attempt to show the world they were changing for the better.
  15. totally irrational.
  16. Beijing Games come up short on soul By Jeff Schultz | Saturday, August 23, 2008, 05:00 PM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Beijing — The first time Charles Lee came to China in 1979, there wasn’t a great preoccupation with impressing people. Beijing hadn’t been blanketed with flower pots. Teenage girls didn’t run 50 feet through rain storms to hand you an umbrella. Natives didn’t stop white people in the middle of Tiananmen Square, merely to take their picture and ask, “What do you think of our country?” “There was one road into town,” said Lee, a former Los Angeles judge who was instrumental in China’s inclusion in the 1984 Olympics and now a USOC official. “I remember the big activity at night was to go see the magic show. Then during the daytime, we went on a tour of the light-bulb factor. That was it.” It’s more than that now. China was intent on impressing world in these Olympics. It went beyond the booming infrastructure, the cannonball off the diving board into capitalism and even the Beijing Hooters (which fairly is in line with a slogan during Mao’s Cultural Revolution: “Unleash the fury of women as a mighty force for revolution!”) In short, the people of China really wanted you to like them. Unfortunately, the grading for what we saw over 17 days in Beijing can’t end there. These Olympics gave us some wonderful competition and two athletes for the ages: U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals and set seven world records, and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who set records in the 100, 200 and as part of the 4x100 relay team. People were gracious. Events ran smoothly. Buses ran on time. Nobody keeled over from the smog (although several came close). But something significant was missing: atmosphere. This won’t go down as the greatest Olympics ever. They could go down as the most antiseptic. Atlanta’s Olympics were criticized on many fronts for transportation and technical breakdowns. But at least Atlanta had a pulse. Beijing seemed closer to a perfectly dressed mannequin. Chinese officials were determined not to allow its government’s Bar Mitzvah to become a showcase for protesters. That’s fine, to a point. But they went overboard. There were times it seemed the Beijing Olympics weren’t taking place in a city but rather a dollhouse, with a big hand coming down to move the little pieces around. Police and security officials cleared streets of perceived undesirables. Demonstrations in Tiananmen Square were quickly smothered, like a People’s Army boot on an ant hill. China promised the IOC openness. Instead, we got Hollywood back lots with phony housing fronts. The government set up an application process for human-rights activists. They designated three protest zones. But none of the applications were accepted. Several applicants were arrested. One woman, Zhang Wei, wanted to protest her home being leveled for Olympic construction. She received a month in prison for “disturbing social order.” The Olympics are supposed to be a celebration, not a 24/7 ROTC march. There were many several days when I walked through the “Olympic Green” toward competition venues. To my left were fountains and pools, wonderfully landscaped. But they were fenced off. Security guards were lined up like pawns on a chessboard. People took pictures through wire fencing. It wrecked the scene. It set the tone. These were the look-but-don’t-touch Olympics. USOC chairman Peter Ueberroth played the role of diplomat. “If you accept an invitation to somebody’s house and you start saying I don’t like the furniture, I don’t like this house, I don’t like the food — then you shouldn’t go. It’s not our responsibility [to speak out]. Politicians can make a statement.” The IOC can make the statement. Don’t award the Games to any country with a failing record in human rights. The aftermath of elaborate Opening Ceremonies spoke volumes. There were stories of 51-hour rehearsals where participants were allowed only two bathroom breaks and two meals. Several collapsed from exhaustion or heatstroke. Some performers wore diapers because they couldn’t leave the field for six hours. Fifteen minutes before the show, a 7-year-old girl was replaced by a 9-year-old girl to lip-synch, “Ode to the Motherland.” Zhang Yimou didn’t believe the 7-year-old was cute enough. That should do wonders for her self-esteem. In an interview with Chinese journalists, Zhang said only North Korea could’ve put on a better show (“They are uniform beyond belief!”) Zhang added: “I have conducted operas in the West. It was so troublesome. They only work four and a half days each week. Everyday there are two coffee breaks and no overtime work at all. There cannot be any discomfort because of human rights.” Darn those human rights. They can wreck any show.
  17. you sound very "manchester" in that little rant sir. you don't sound much different from the brothers you are slagging off. i still like coldplay; i appreciate their relatively clean-cut image. they are a good band for the masses to get into. i just think that Oasis is more interesting, both in personality and music.
  18. Oasis makes better music. Music that I can be proud to listen to. I lost a lot of respect for Coldplay when the started making sappy bullshit songs like A Message and Proof. Give me Acquiesce, Go Let It Out, The Importance of Being Idle, My Big Mouth, i.e. real rock songs with a passion and a swagger behind them over any sappy Coldplay cry-along.
  19. Liam blows Chris Martin out out of the water vocally. Live Forever, Some Might Say, Don't Go Away and other classics will never be eclipsed by anything Coldplay will produce. Oasis is relevant to this day and Dig Out Your Soul will be the release of the year.
  20. bullshit. Oasis is the best band in the world. Don't Believe the Truth easily outclassed X&Y in 2005. Dig Out Your Soul will bury Viva la Vida.
  21. notice how no one on this site says a thing when something like this comes out...rather look the other way I suppose, and just let Islam take over Britain...pathetic.

    download You Are My Face - INCREDIBLE song
  23. Oasis is the best band in the world, and their new album Dig Out Your Soul is going to rock.
  24. One of their best songs by far and one of the most, if not the most overlooked song in their catalog. utterly dramatic and perfectly produced.
  25. noel gallagher would run circles around chris martin mentally.
