The Jawa Report: Hitler Raps Gangnam Style http://shar.es/uiK3H via @sharethis

Marshmud: I have a friend who drives a better car, owns a more expensive car, buys stuff all the time, and pays zero federal taxes. He's exempt. He's a Vietnam vet, retired, and his wife is disabled. But if he can afford a 35 thousand dollar truck (or more - a gas hog too!) then why can't he at least pay something? He's capable of working but in the nearly 10 years I've known him he hasn't worked. He owns an RV and travels. But we never hear Obama asking these folks to pay at least something.

The rich, if they were to be taxed more, would do nothing for our debt. One stat I read said that what could be raised by taxing the rich more would be spent within 8 days under current spending. It's all a big lie by the liberals that the rich don't pay enough. The truth is that the tax codes are poorly written and it's the legislators that created the tax loopholes that everyone can use to avoid paying too much. Thousands of pages of tax codes that even the creators don't fully understand. We spend too much. Government is too big. They suck at running things (see the postal service for example). The government spends to spend. 16 trillion in debt and it's climbing and Obama created the bulk of it.

If I could I'd throw out all the liberals and all the far right and only keep those in the middle. That's the only way this country will thrive. Maybe Ron Paul is the best choice but he couldn't possibly win. But anyone is better than Obama. Even Mickey Mouse.

Artful Dodger: Why is our party having such a time to give us a good leader? Romney makes me hurt where I never thought I could, lol. I think some are afraid to take on the next 4 years and rather see someone else fail.



If we had no debt, like the clinton/ early bush days...we wouldn't even have this type discussion. Now since we do, is our solution to cut all our social programs....or even giving the rich more tax breaks? Its going to take a drastic solution. I just assume some people will just get hostile and riot and destroy property...Guess I just keep stocking ammo. lol

Marshmud: It's sad that Romney is the best we could do. And sadder that even with the mess that Obama has created the race is still up for grabs. Clinton would be better. Reagan the best.

Marshmud: I'm not running for president. If that was aimed at me, I was not complaining about anything you said. In fact I was agreeing. Someone else seems to be complaining?

Marshmud: Just because Romney isn't another Reagan doesn't mean he can't start to turn things around. And Art is correct when he says anyone would be better than Obama. If Obama is re-elected (it could happen) my hope would be that he spends all of his time playing golf and flying off to one place or another, and if not that then just sitting in the Oval office tossing crumpled up pieces of paper into the waste paper basket or chatting with Oprah or playing with his kids... anyway, you get the picture.

I would like for things to rapidly turn around, but I know that won't happen with any next new leader. The problems we have are too big for anything resembling a quick fix, but frankly I think the worst we could expect from Romney is that he could stop the bleeding... right now that's good enough for me. Stop the bleeding, and let the country start to recover.

Marshmud: isnt social security taxable income?

Iamon lyme: " Stop the bleeding, and let the country start to recover." a big thumbs up there!

Artful Dodger: Romney's biggest problem right now is the press. If the press took a neutral approach to reporting, instead of covering for Obama while attacking Romney, then I think most Americans wouldn't have a problem seeing Romney as the better choice. The press does have the power to make or break a candidate, especially when polling indicates the race is close.

Actually, polling is another one of those tools used by some in the press to give misleading impressions. I heard of a recent poll giving Obama a slight edge, but then learned Democrats were being over polled by as much as 10%. If Republicans and Democrats were equally represented, that slight edge would disapear... just one more piece of evidence that the press seems to think its their job is to convince the voters who they should vote for. If I'm remembering correctly I believe the press has been called the fourth estate, because they have taken on the role of "king maker".

Iamon lyme: I think that's exactly right. If Obama makes a slip up, they say nothing. If Romney farts, it's all over the news for weeks. I've seen Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz caught in a lie and when confronted, she lied about it. When a video was played showing she lied, she still lied and denied. And the press lets her get away with it. Only Fox confronted her.

Iamon lyme:

> There's load of evidence verifying Old Testament people and events as well.

If that were true, we would be hearing it to the four winds. The reality is that there is archelogocal data, as you say, clay tablets, etc. Yet none of them prove conclusively that any of the main people in the Old Testament existed. Scholars can't agree on the interpretation of that data because the data is weak and in many cases not concrete enough.

> It's been convenient to say in the absence of any evidence that something didn't happen or a place didn't exist, until that place or some recorded history is found. And then after evidence is found, ignoring it is what it is... willful ignorance.

But where is the evidence? To me it is not willful ignorance, it is lack of evidence plain and simple.

> By the way, the word "ignorant" is another one of those magic words liberals love to toss out... it's intended to have the same effect as words like "birther" or "conspiracy nut". Personally, I like the term "double standard"... that pretty much says it all.

This has nothing to do with "liberals", it has to do with backing your claims with concrete evidence.

> Life is too short to spend trying to convince someone of something they don't want to know.

But I WANT to know. I want to see the evidence, rather than have you make excuses for presenting none. I love to read the evidence. It is interesting and important. So why say that we don't want to know?

It seems to me that you are making a lot of excuses since you are unable to back up your claims that there is "loads" of evidence out there.

No. The policies that created the trend to not balance the books started decades ago. Increased military spending, tax cuts which has seen the top rates tumble.

If the tax levels were as they were back before Raygun.. the loopholes wouldn't really matter. But the taxation levels have dropped and the 1% still use loopholes.

mckinley: I think it would be fair to say that most if not all the major events when 'earthquakes' and 'floods' happened, happened. Even, to some extent the Garden of Eden, thanks to new evidence that the Sahara desert is not a desert, but a cyclic environment that fluctuates between a lush and desert state.

The stories in the OT were more about carrying on wisdom and knowledge then the actual person. The aborigines use a similar system to tell their children how to survive in the bush, as did many early civilisations.

eg... the Greek and their Gods, The Norse with Odin and Loki.

Truth is hidden behind the story, just the story makes it easier to absorb.

Bwild: Yes it is taxable as you receive a ssa 1099 at the end of the year but if its your only source of income you pay no tax and most don't even have to file.

22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."

They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

Iamon lyme: I see disaster if Obama wins. He already does things against the constitution, and gets away with it! What will he do in a 2nd term when he doesn't have to worry about re-election!!??
And this is not a baseless fear, as you may recall that microphone that was on (and he didn't know it) when he was talking to some foreign leader, and basically said, wait until after the election, then we can do such n such. (I don't recall the details off the top of my head)
He has to be pushed out!

To me, there are SO many things Romney should be doing, but isn't! He should be reminding people of things like this!

Iamon lyme:
" Stop the bleeding, and let the country start to recover."

A very good point. I hope the undecided feel that way.

rod03801: Rod, politicians make deals with leaders of other countries all the time. Before politicians it was the royals, or port owners who collected a royalty.

(V): Nonsense. Under Obama our debt increasd by 6 trillion. Clinton did NOT do anything near that so don't offer lame excuses.

mckinley: It is about faith but it goes farther than that.

Marshmud: I think we borrow something like 4 billion a day.

Artful Dodger: Any spending already earmarked for DoD? Bank handouts?? Did the rules for accounting suddenly change or the previous years balance sheet predict nothing carried forward??

No. Nor does it work that way in any business or economy.

Stop trying to use lame economics and selective history!!

Übergeek 바둑이: [ But I WANT to know. ]

So did I, that's why I did not limit my search by refusing to look at what Christian (or impartial) scholars historians and archaeologists had to show. I've also looked at what some former atheists who set to disprove Biblical claims have said.

I don't know why you are unable to access the same information I had found, but I suspect nothing short of a functional time machine can satisfy your thirst for knowledge. Time travel is not something I can not help you with... so my guess is you are happily out of luck finding any proof that may contradict your claim.

Iamon lyme: ~ coffee... need drink more coffee ~ reboot brain in 4, 3, 2, 1, ...

I meant to say [ I've also looked at what some former atheists who set out to... ]

...and [ Time travel is not something I can help you with.. ]

Artful Dodger: (V) wrote... [ Stop trying to use lame economics and selective history!! ]

Yeah AD!! Do you have any proof from scholars historians or archaeologists that can confirm your theory of what took place in the distant past? Can you prove Bill Clinton actually existed... Or how about the past 4 years? The story of Obama the Unknowable is so bizarre and full of impossible scenarios that it couldn't have possibly happened...



...please tell me it didn't happen. I don't WANT for it to have happened. Tell me a NICE bed time story, one that won't get my knickers all in twist.

(V): You must not remember Obama's please right after taking office for the massive spending bills. New spending bills under Obama. His proposal. And under his administration 6 trillion more in debt.

Iamon lyme: Don't waste your time with the atheists. They wouldn't believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes and God Himself would have to appear (which would kill them instantly). Even after that they'd blame it on bad pasta. ( Yet they will beleive in theories based on speculation as long as God isn't part of the equation. )

Artful Dodger: 6 trillion... *sigh* what's the breakdown? Did he spend it on a wedding or something??

Iamon lyme: So that's where the 'knickers in twist' troll got to!!

Sorry.. someone tried to eradicate the Hogs Father... caused chaos

(V): Of course you're missing the point. He said it with the meaning that after the election, he doesn't have to be concerned about the public's opinion.

You really DO need to debate EVERYTHING, don't you?

rod03801: I do when you CAN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS.

It leads it very much open to debate.. or even an opinion!!

(V): Like adding 6 trillion to the national debt isn't bad enough now it matters how he spent it. Millions wasted on failed green energy projects and millions more creating few jobs. Now it has to be paid back and in the meantime more is being spent. The Fed prints money. It's beyond stupid.

rod03801: He does and then he blames the other for not being specifc enough - even when he's the king of ambiquity.

Artful Dodger: Yes it does matter how the US government (no big 6 trillion dollar wedding for Obama then! ) spends it's money.

If you don't... btw millions is not trillions

Artful Dodger: .. I'm a prince and I am Funky.. never a king.. I am prince the one and only.

Artful Dodger: Master maze builder my smelly #@%!! Who would be stupid enough to follow a cost of wedding path? (millions are not trillions)

(V): [Iamon lyme: So that's where the 'knickers in twist' troll got to!! Sorry.. someone tried to eradicate the Hogs Father... caused chaos ]



~*~ $ ~~o.o~~ FIC ~ TION ~ AL ~~o.o~~ $ ~*~

(V): Oh he spent much more than 6 trillion. He spent so much that he had to borrow that much and it won't be paid back for generations. What matters it that it put the country in financial jeopardy. And as I said much was a waste.

6 trillion is $54,000.00 per househouse based on the number of heads of househouse in 2010

Übergeek 바둑이: well there you have it. A little soft shoe and ropeadope,mixed generously with insults disguised as humour. But the fact remains...there is no actual proof.
It's all blind faith.

(V): [ I do when you CAN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS. ]

You need a detailed (all encompassing) description (explanation) of what a lame (limping) duck (quack) presidency means (entails) ? (question mark)

When someone has been re-elected (for a second term [four years] as president [executive leader] ), it means they can't (are not allowed to) run (campaign) for president (executive leader) again (repeating previous action) after the next (following) 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) more (in addition to the previous) years has expired (croaked) . (period, end of sentence)

Bwild: It's not blind faith. It's much more but what we view as evidence others reject. An atheist (former) who rejected the argumets for the Christian faith came to be a believer and began using the same arguments he once rejected. It's a matter of belief and perspective and proper interpretation.

Bwild: I never disquise my insults with humor. The humor is seasoning.

Artful Dodger: your talkin Paul? Paul was Saul and pagan I think.
But I understand belief.I have my own beliefs..you have yours..LL has his..so on. Its what makes our lives so interesting.

Artful Dodger: The humor is seasoning......lol right.....

Bwild: Not Paul. He was a Pharicidic Jew turned Christian.
