Vikings: Another O'Reilly quote:

"It's hard to do it because you have got to look people in the eye and tell them they're irresponsible and lazy. And who's going to want to do that? Because that's what poverty is, ladies and gentlemen. In this country (USA), you can succeed if you get educated and work hard. Period."

Is that what poverty is, irresponsibility and laziness?

The Usurper 
Assunto: Bill O'Reilly quotes:
"Yes, I am part of the 1 percent of Americans that paid an astounding 40 percent of all federal income tax in 2006. According to recently released Internal Revenue Service figures, about 50 percent of my fellow Americans paid no federal income tax at all that year. My fellow 1-percenters and I covered for them. But for some it is still not enough.

President Obama and a Democratic Congress will likely dole out entitlements like free health care, child care and cash payments to anyone who falls under a certain income level, no matter their circumstances. That means people who drink gin all day will get some of my hard-earned money. Folks who dropped out of school, who are too lazy to hold a job, who smoke reefers 24/7 all will get some goodies in the mail from Uncle Barack and Aunt Nancy, funded by me and other rich folks."

And...

"[Y]ou would be taking money away from other people to give them money because they didn't pay tax in the first place.

And that's the redistribution of income that many working Americans don't like the Democrats for."

Do you agree with him?

The Usurper: It sounds like a statement taken completely out of context, just as Obama took a quote of him explaining the Mexican governments policy on immigration and made an out of context ad making is sound like that was him saying it about mexicans. I'm sure that if you were to print (or even better actually listen) to the whole paragraph, you would find that he's proving that republicans have more compassion for the poor than the dems

The Usurper:  You're wrong.  They are both insulting and ad hominem.  Whenever you argue "to the man" that's an ad hominem.  Saying one's brain is under the influence of Fox is another way of saying one doesn't think for  him or herself.  You didn't address the issues,  addressed the person. 

And perhaps you can explain to everyone here how the first insult is "strictly accurate."  How can you possibly know?  To whom are you addressing this insult (since you seem to be generalizing it to all repubs)?  You can't have your cake and eat it too Greg.  Ad hominem is to the man.  That is what you did in both cases.  Man up.

The Usurperdon't expect most of you to be able assimilate this fact in brains under the influence of Fox News.

Yes, old politics. From both parties. And they've sure got you boys trained like pet puppies.

And here I thought you said you were above throwing insults?  Guess not.  I'll bet you get a pass tho.  So much for:  "........my (your) attempt to keep this debate civil. In my (your)
opinion, it is too important to be approached in any other way."

Approached any other way except in some cases you mean.

Assunto: Stimulus Bill
Rushed through and Congress didn't read final draft. Sure, that's what happened. Giveaway? You bet. Do we have representation in Congress? Surely not.

Yet, you guys are still in the Matrix. For example, same way with the Patriot Act, a far more damaging bill to our Constitution and the "freedom" you all seem to think the Repugs support. Draft was hot off the press, no one had time to read it.

And since when did the Repugs not take your money? They rob from the poor and give to the rich. I don't expect most of you to be able assimilate this fact in brains under the influence of Fox News.

Yes, old politics. From both parties. And they've sure got you boys trained like pet puppies.

I think it is a power issue.... they claim to be for the people and the little guy, but the reality is, everything they do is about giving them, the politicians, more power and more influence and more money, hardly what you would expect, or is it?

Czuch:And in the history of socialism and communism, they've always oppressed the people, kept them in collective poverty, and eventually they have fallen. 

OTOH, there is no system like the free enterprise / capitalist sys where the little guy can become a millionaire and the average joe can achieve financial freedom.  The Dems want socialism because that's the way to control the masses.  Promise them steak, feed them cake.

I can see them now.... "okay, we gave the unemployed a few more weeks, and the welfare and food stamps people get a bit more too... (yeah thats all stimulus, not) we have done our jobs, lets all pat ourselves on the back, and reward our great efforts with a nice trip to Europe!"

Yup, them dems... all about the little guy....

Tuesday:

and I love what Awesome said. Amen. :)

Amen??? Really???

I can agree that a good moderator should be like a good umpire, and not be noticed or become more of the story than the story itself....

But AD has not actually even moderated one single post... how could he, as a moderator, be any less intrusive????

Typical liberal mindset, really.... ignore facts, logic and any common sense!

...and dont come back to me complaining that I say everything is a liberal blah blah blah... you put an "amen" to what awesome said, yet what he said actually makes no sense at all when you apply facts and logic and common sense to it, same with 90% of liberal arguments

I haavent heard one liberal on here before the election say anything other than "Obama is for change" or some other tiresome blah, nothing ever of any substance, but why not?

Because you dont even know what that change is meant to be..... if anyone would at least come out and say it, say "I vote democrat because I think the best thing for this country is for the government to take as much money from its citizens as they need to do everything for us and to control our lives in every way possible, and Navcy Pelosi and harry reid know more about what is best for me than i do, that is what I think is best for our country"...

Well, I could respect that, and I would at least know that you have put some though into it, and you have some ideals etc....

But when you "Amen" an asinine statement, and vote for some fantasy changes, well, thats liberalism in a nut (case) shell

Nobody needs to comment.... everyone knows the dems have been itching to rob us all blind for many years now, there is nobody who is not a socialist or even the communist party loves the dems right now, who can defend this "stimulus", its a joke, the average tax payor is going to have an extra 13 bucks a week????
