If you had two brains you'd die of loneliness.


Well, that's 5 points for actually checking your spelling before making this post, but -10 for lacking the intelligence to come up with a new put down AND for making a post who's sole purpose was to "annoy or antagonize other people" as in:

# No messages intended to annoy or antagonize other people, or to hijack a thread.

Of course, you still don't understand why the majority of Americans ARE NOT leftists, AND treat you like dirt, do you?

Race, gender, religious or political beliefs don't keep me from seeing a person as a human being. I would gladly stand next to you to fight for a common cause, but not simply because of the cause. You see, they've broken down the human Deoxyribonucleic acid sequence and we are all a part of the same family tree. Right down to worms and bananas. I knew this long before sequencing began. One planet. All related.

I know you may hate the thought, but your my cousin, and I'm brown. European and Polynesian mix, but all American for generations. I don't make, or support walls. I don't see you as far right. Your just another guy on our mutual planet, but with walls all around you. All built by you.

The day may come, and soon, when the world sees America as a world wide threat. Should this happen we may recall the folly and fall of the roman empire. We aren't as tough as we think. Should the world deny us the ability to trade we would be in it deep.

All one people. One planet.

OOps forgot one:

I'm not Homophobic either.

(Not gay either. Just in case I'm being scrutinized for mating purposes. LOL)

Nice try buddy, but we still both know you're a liar, now if you care to indicate where the quote is located, I'll tell exactly who said it, but OBVIOUSLY you don't want that to happen.


No, it just means you didn't bother to read the document. And because you didn't, you weren't able to understand why I said what I did. And thus not able to comprehend why I might have the opinion that I have. Having an opinion about something you don't agree with doesn't make me a liar.

Of course having a different opinion doesn't make you a liar, but linking me to a 90 page document when I'm looking for one sentence is surely a sign of you attempting to hide something.

In a recent appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Show, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum said he thinks that "unfortunate events" will happen in America within the year. Hugh Hewitt says he "hopes he's right."

Thanks A/C.

Have a look at this. Not really propaganda but based in truth of how some people think, still.

Was just thinking this morning, that Europe might be in some trouble soon.
The US becoming a dictatorship, Russia and China more or less already are.
Can't imagine, that the citizens of the nordic countries or Germany let themselves brainwash to give up their freedom the same way it happens in the US right now.
But that leaves only a few countries vs the rest of a dictatorship world.

To be honest I am not even surprised the elites use propaganda to control the masses. It probably makes you feel pretty superior over the "average dumbass".
And also quite a lot of people simply don't care what's going on around them.

The only problem is that over time the elites seem to get too greedy, strive for total control and concentration of wealth and power in the hand of only a few. That results in the life standard of the non-elite drastically declining with negative effects on social stability and economy. In the end it might lead to uprisings, wars, terrorism, recession and instead of enjoying their wealth they might risk it all.

Pretty dumb for such intelligent people, don't ask me why they do it.

Confucius said, "A scholar with his heart set on property, is not worthy to be called a scholar."


And yet you want to increase gov't involvement in the same dumb system. That won't help.

Looks like Confucius forgot to mention his reasoning as well.
Cordially,
