[quote]They had the chance to make their own destiny. They are losing it now. IN a couple of years, they will be crying about all the jobs lost when we can no longer sustain their extravagance. THEY decided, not Sen Corker. It is THEIR decision. NO one elses.[/quote] Speaking of melodrama--oh, my.
[quote]Such melodrama... I feel the vapors about to overcome you.[/quote] Apparently only the lefties are prone to melodrama. Righties are only rational.[e digicons]:beer:[/e]
Slogans, pointed boots, Hussein, Redford--oh, my!
The big question is where do we put the incorrigibles?[e digicons]8(|[/e]
[quote]You simply can't say that man is having an impact on global warming so the car companies need to make hybrid only cars and everyone needs to drive one instead of their gas guzzling cars and suvs. [/quote]I'm with you here. We tend to rush into things when unwarranted; I don't worry about climate change as much as clean air and water. Hell, if Detroit brought back the Packard Patrician, I'd buy it, though I would drive it sparingly.<img class="mceIcon" src="https://forums.joeuser.com/js
"Some of them have been since Clinton was inaugurated, but not THE hottest and of course not the top 10." Thatis until the hot intern entered the scene.
Now that it's a foregone conclusion the domestic autoworkers will be subject to wage controls will their management also be struck with rollbacks as well? Also a foregone conclusion is that most JoeUsers' unionbashers will applaud the ostensibly competitive rollback and future controls and thus ironic that in a sense it is redistribution of wealth which so many ironically argue against even though much of the "wealth is from the much renounced legacy.
[quote]Personally I'd like to see a consumption tax rather than income tax.[/quote]I'll go for that as long as there are surtaxes on luxury items. Of course, one's Lexus is a luxury, to another a way to get to the office.
[quote]the auto workers simply aren't competitive.[/quote]Even though Toyota announced their wages are higher?
[quote]What about incomes?[/quote]Is there a difference? Wealth is determined by earnings, investments and assets. The wise never lose their wealth cushion regardless of spending. [quote]2 tin cans and a string?[/quote]Love it!
[quote]feigned outrage [/quote]I'm outraged over the shoe-slinging! Nothing feigned about that. Nor did I ever think Bush was a boyfriend of Craig's. As for Abramoff, his torture approbation was influenced by Cheney who acknowledged that WMD, after all, was irrelevant.
[quote]ever disappearing journalistic standards, report (just) the news and leave the comments for the editorials[/quote]Magazines do not adhere to journalistic objectivity as newspapers are supposed to. Magazines always have been slanted, such as, American Prospect and National Weekly. It's just unfortunate that it is called NEWS week.
[quote]Like Brad, I was (past tense) a subscriber.[/quote]Yeah, two peas in a pod. When have you ever disagreed with him? Btw, stop using his name--he doesn't like it--he's Dragonol. [quote]They get no more of my money now.[/quote]Frugal move: why pay for those juicy articles when you can find them on the internet to foster your reactionary views.
[quote]Is there anything left in journalism? [/quote] It's doubtful that the AP would print something like this without quoting a source.
[quote]For instance even though it snowed here on Friday it was in the 50s yesterday and was into the low 70s here today, yet tonight it is expected to get back to freezing along with some icy conditions.[/quote] You can't justify any position by individuated weather reports.[quote]The alarmists will say it's just an oscillation in 'the' upward trend, but the fact is they don't know. [/quote]Tell it to the polar bears.
[quote]Man's effect on it is not demonstrable, or even evident based on the meager history of the movement and their hysterical claims.[/quote] Noah was skeptical,too, until the tide lapped at his feet. Enjoy your stay on the highest mountain top. [quote]The earth will survive, man may not, but the earth will.[/quote]Not very comforting.
Your position is more relevant to every household should be equipped with burglar alarms than handguns. The stats are stacked because it is common knowledge that the US--with the exception perhaps of some rogue states--has the most violent crime because guns are readily available to criminals whereas the vast majority are without arms. Until it is mandated that every citizen carries a handgun, I suspect, we are left with your favorite word: choice .
[quote]It makes me sick how my money is being mispent.[/quote] Relax, China's taxpayers--not you--are at risk.
"Many Iraqis, however, believe al-Zeidi was a hero for insulting an American president widely blamed for the chaos that has engulfed their country since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003." Total hogwash! Regardless of the errors of his ways Bush--goes without saying--does not deserve this arrant disrespect. I thought Iraqis were sandal-footed?--guess the perpetrator got the shoes from the US Army. Well, at least the shoes were bomb-free.
Alas, the Senate is a bullshit organization that we could do without, thank you very much.
[quote]They are already treated 100 times better [/quote]I would guess exaggeration; yet you well know the beef about Gitmo is holding them without trial or effectuating a tribunal.
It's not its swing to the left as much as its religious frenzies. Hardly an issue goes by that there isn't some history or contemporary views on religion. Why, the cover this week has a bible as an icon for gay marriages.
[quote]Where was your criticism of Hannity when he had unflattering remarks about McCain during the primaries? [/quote]Why bother? It was well known that McCann was not his choice to begin with. Then when his erection for Palin took over he ignored McCann completely, except when he praised him for choosing his girl from Alaska.
[quote]Refusing to budge on the contract is cutting off their nose to spite their face.[/quote]What you mean by refusing to budge, like Sen Corker, is burn the contract. The zealous bludgeoning of unions will eventuate total loss of workers' rights which is okay with you until down the road it will infiltrate every industry while the laissez faire extremists return to 19th century exploitation.
[quote]indicates no one improved since that time?[/quote]Depends on what you mean by improved. Yes the Mexican immigrants and Cuban Americans but statistics show that the very wealthy have since Reagan increased their wealth fourfold as opposed to the rest whose improvement was nil. Go Google; I still have dial-up.
