Saw a great bumper sticker yesterday...[views:14722][posts:69]______________________________________ [May 17,2010 11:32am - ouchdrummer ""] BlownUpJamPad said:You're all idiots republications and democrats are the same . They both are controlled by the military industrial complex and big corporations. Name one time the government has taken your guns away or your money? Show your pay stub were the fed has taken more money now than when Bush was in power. More money will always go to military power and any other public service. It said, "I'll keep my money and my freedom, you can keep "the change." dumb shit So are you one of those: "Both parties are the same, so it makes no difference how you feel" kind of people? If so, if you REALLY think that it doesn't matter how people feel/vote, then please, stop worrying about it. Stop any attempts to stay up on current politics, don't vote, and don't post in political threads. Leave the actual politics to people who know that THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DIFFERENCE in the parties, and totally different things will happen depending on who YOU (the people) give the power to. (voting) .... matter of fact, if you can't see the difference in this administrations from the last one, and in the decisions they've made, you haven't been paying attention. |

Both parties are completely different with their basic stances and beliefs, but both are controlled by outside interests and corporations. That's where it doesn't matter. I vote and particpate in political activites, but I also know that the 2 party system is a faux system and is seperating this country instead of uniting it. There is a huge split between actual government ( both parties) and the citizens of this country. There are NO honest politicians on both sides. The closest one to being honest is Ron Paul. This country has give down the shitter. We need real change. |

The further you go left, the more right you become. The further you go right, the more left you become. It's a mind fuck but makes sense when one really thinks about it. |

You can't fix the economy or win a war(?) in one year. At least not in Happy Hippy Gum Drop Land America. |
| ______________________________ [May 17,2010 3:23pm - Yeti ""] can you name one thing that he has done that has shown potential for promise in the future? we're spiraling down the shitter, optimism has no place in this government anymore. yes, there are differences between this administration and the last one, so technically change has occurred, but that's like spraying the Ebola virus all over Europe and saying "hey, it's a change from the Black Death". |
| ______________________________ [May 17,2010 3:23pm - Yeti ""] i agree with both Jim's, there are differences in political parties, but everyone is corrupt, so in a way they are the same. |

| ___________________________________ [May 17,2010 4:25pm - arktouros ""] the jims are right. but I have a problem with the political circle aril posted. Where is extreme capitalism on the circle? it's certainly not near "freedom"... the most free, feasible human government (there is no perfect government) is a proper balance of capitalism and socialism with true democratic representation (whatever that balance is, i have no idea), with protections against corruption. but, we all know that's not possible. fallacies at the individual level are far too great and always will be. anyone who complains about cultural marxism - your culture was dead when the information age hit. |
| ____________________________________ [May 17,2010 4:46pm - arilliusbm ""] It is imposible to have a perfect government. A utopia is not attainable when, like you said, individual fallacies are present. It seems as if culture and government is at a stalemate. We can't decide what's right or wrong and we can't see the truth because everything is behind shades. If only life was as simple as living off if the land in tribal communities again. The larger the population, the greater the chance of failure. I truly fear the direction we are heading in. There isn't much we can do about it. Why not embrace it and live life with sex, drugs, and rock n roll? |

Shit was going downhill for a decade really, for everyone but those with millions in the stock market, and by late 2008 when it crashed, everything just froze all over. I remember that period of time and it fucking blew, I couldn't find a guitar student for months for the first time in almost fifteen years of doing this, my drummer couldn't find any work during the day doing anything at all. If things hadn't changed from that, who the fuck knows what things would be like at this point. It's a slow climb, but I'll take an up arrow to a down arrow any day, especially after Main Street has been sliding downhill for most of the last ten years. Also, we do have well over 50,000 troops out of Iraq since last year, with only 99,000 or so remaining there, which is a pretty sizeable change right in accordance with the withdrawal plan. This bears mentioning especially given the question that this thread starts with. |

He has not done anything outstanding or done anything to change versus the same old bullshit president we've been getting every four years. A real president of change would have said fuck the law and put his foot down in BP's face. Instead, he pussyfoots his way out just like any other boring president we have. Thinking about high speed rails? Think again, because that's another thing which never came to fruition. More affordable healthcare? Yea right, more like required. Obama is not worse, but he is the same fucking bullshit. Aren't people tired of the people we elect who absolutely do nothing or take 5000 years to do it? |

Presidents are not dictators, he's at the mercy of the moneyed interests of congress and the house - which Bush played along with very well. Oh yeah, repost |
