The McCain ad. Posted: 4 days ago by

Repartations for African-Americans? Posted: 2 years ago by
This is one of the most insane ideas I have ever heard of. The whole concept of "give me", "handouts", "government owes me", etc is a large part of why people don't succed. The concept that instead of working for something I deserve a handout because 'x' is asinine.

Reparations is a good example.

The idea that we are supposed to punish people that didn't do anything in order to reward someone who wasn't harmed is beyond insane and quite illegal.

Scary Future For Britain Posted: 2 months ago by
I was watching the news last night and there was a piece about the British National Party (BNP) and how they are gaining public popularity and drawing in larger and larger numbers of votes. This is the most recent article I could find. For anyone who doesn't know, the BNP has always been an extreme, racist, right-wing party with links to violence and murders. In recent times they've tried to present, what they feel, is a more friendly, less racist front. The BNP website tries to counter the fact they ...

Sometimes Conservative Websites Can Be Such Idiots Posted: 2 months ago by
The latest insanity that seems to be going around quite a few sites, including conservative sites, jewish forums, and more is a stupid beef about Rachel Ray's commercials for Dunkin' Donuts. Some sites are posting legitimate complaints that she hates dunkin donuts coffee and during filming of the commercial insisted that they subsitute Starbucks for the Dunkin Donuts coffee. That is okay, nothing bad about those reports. However in one of the most insane, anti-muslim, archie-bunker, bs claims there are a...

US strike on al-Qaida kills children BAGHDAD - A U.S. helicopter strike north of Baghdad killed eight people in a vehicle, including at least two children, Iraqi officials said Thursday, insisting all the dead were civilians. The U.S. military said six were al-Qaida militants but acknowledged children were killed. It said five suspected "terrorists" were killed along with two children in the vehicle. A sixth militant was killed in a field next to the road, according to a statement. The...

Democratic Nomination Posted: 2 months ago by
So I was reading this article.. and Hilary Clinton is just pissing me off now.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080522/pl_politico/10552 I mean I live in Michigan , I understand I wasn't able to vote for the candidate that I wanted b/c my state decided to move our primary foward early. But this has nothing to do with the 2000 election. If she was winning or up in the votes I don't think she would have thought twice about counting the Michigan or Florida votes. She's basically rallying people to ...

Rome is burning...(This is serious) Posted: 3 months ago by
This comment was spurred by seeing a men's hair coloring commercial on tv. They used the song "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. I found this nauseating and promptly threw up. My point here is...have we lost control of our own country? Example:Endless war, foreclosures, gas prices, climate change, deficits, cancelled flights, no immigration policy, recession, wall street bail outs, Iraq, Iran, taxes, food prices, health insurance, steroids, terrorists, lying politicians, Britney Spears!

Michael Moore endorses Obama...Obama yells NOOOOOOOOOoooooo Posted: 3 months ago by
The article is here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080422/ap_en_mo/people_michael_moore ...No Obama didn't actually scream but does anybody else think that Moore's endorsement will hurt more than help? I didn't think this was mainstream plime-worthy but I'd thought I'd post it here. I know there was a Moore rally here in PA and although I didn't attend myself a co-worker did and she informed me how NUTS many of his fanatics are. I personally hate the media and take EVERYTHING I read in the news ...

What are your neighbors like? Posted: 3 months ago by
Inspired by this post: link to post I would like to poll all plimates about their neighbors. (or neighbours in some case) I have a redneck neighbor with "Family, Faith, Freedom, vote for Huckabee" sign on their yard (my children keep reading all words there as if it started with an F, just for the sake of alliteration) My other neighbor is gay, and he comes home late, and sleeps late so I dont see him very often.

Is Obama through?? Posted: 4 months ago by
Well this is pretty exciting politics. Looks like Obama has the popular vote and the majority of delegates. Looks like realistically their is no way that Hillary could be seated as the nominee...or can she? I've known about Obama's church and pastor for almost exactly a year now. I've never submitted it to plime because, the few articles I have submitted about Obama haven't been very popular. And a submission with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity views on it is an instant downvote. But this is incredi...

Someone else referred me to the movie about a week ago and it was slow at work, so I started watching it. I watched the first two parts then. I watched the third part today. First of all, if you ...

I hate the media! Posted: 8 months ago by
I just needed to get this off my chest. I was watching the CNN Youtube debate last night and it was as terrible as ever, (nothing but Romney vs Giuliani) now I am fine with the fact that Ron Paul only had a couple questions during the entire night, he isn't considered top tier I guess so whatever, :/ but the first question they ask him (45min into the debate) is if he agrees with his supporters about the crazy conspiracy to join Canada, Mexico and the US. To which he replies: Well, it all depends on w...

the take of an Armchair Shrink Posted: 6 months ago by
Okay, I hate politics. I don't ever believe campaign schpeel because it's all advertising. They say what they say to get votes. Whenever I end up watching a political speech, I tune out on the words really fast and start thinking "Why did he choose that tie?" and "gee, his face is shorter on one side than the other." When looking at candidates, I tend to look at their personal histories, what we know, to judge. Please keep in mind that I don't go delving, I'm not that interested. ...
