      America is rotting from the inside

      Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues

      Politicians are failing to comprehend the breadth of the US infrastructure crisis. Only disasters move our representatives to act - and in an election year, even those actions seem spotty at best and disingenuous at worst. The United States has much more than failing bridges to find, fund and fix. A comprehensive report by Dr. Denny Wilkins.

      Who profits from the Iraq war? More than a quarter of senators and congressmen have invested at least $196 million of their own money in companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) that profit from the death and destruction in Iraq.

    Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

    Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

    Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

    though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

    . . .but the wheel turns around. . .deja vu all over again. . .

    You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

    I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.

    However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

     . . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.

    i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this.  otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Hi okami,

    I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

    this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church.  Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."

    people fear change and the future and uncertainity. 

    this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that.  it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
