  • So if a white guy does it (bush) its ok and well let our kids see it. but when a black guy wants to do it (obama) they freak out cause its all agenda and he wants to brainwash our kids... Really O.o Racism isnt dead its alive and well IM WELCOMING DOOMSDAY EVERY PASSING DAY

  • katie ist hot

  • [sarcasm] Yes, because staying in school is a sin. [/sarcasm=stupid politicians]

  • MegaXoxo.... did u realy just ask how it affects us..... I DONT WANT TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE I DONT WANT AND GET ARRESTED FOR NOT BUYING IT!!! thats against my rights...... i dont want to have my money shared evenly to a drug addict who refuses to try to quit and get a job when i work overtime!!!!!!!! Thats socialism affects me bitch

  • @zalfight Are you forced to pay for car insurance?

  • Comment removed

  • I think IF it stays non-political (aka study, learning centric), then it is a great idea. I think every new president should address students in schools with importance of learning.

  • Obamaphobia. Attacking someone for wanting to do something a former president of your party did years before is just hypocritical beyond compare. Fear and paranoia coated with blatant lies being a sales pitch is the primary reason i utterly abandoned any hope for the Republican Party as a serious party. They've really abandoned who they were.

  • Comment removed

  • If Glenn Beck said that this was controversal, I'd say "oh well, it's normal. After all it's Glenn Beck, it wouldn't be the 1st time he ridiculizes himself in public." But, this time it's people O.o

  • whats wrong in saying " stay in school"? wow... i mean, everyone i know of, even though i dont like in the USA, tell me to forget everything and concentrate on school. thats not a new message is it?

  • nothing wrong with speech. Just something wrong with government being too involved in education. Do away with NEA for starters.

  • The GOP have been a joke for 30 years and they are a even bigger joke today. Under their watches we had the 2 largest attacks on America but they had nothing to do with it... Under their watch, the mddle class has less and less but its always someone else's fault. The GOP are trying to destory this country for their own political gain... again.

  • Did he say anything bad? Is it bad to remind students of their duties?

  • poor kids being indoctrinated :(

  • work hard so banks can take your tax dollars in bailouts, stay in school so they can brainwash you into being good little drones. welcome to scAmerica.

  • i hope youre right

  • @ganj0r dont know what schools do differently over there, but here they teach.

  • I disagree with Obama on almost every thing, but on this. I dont think it's a big deal that he sent a message to the kids in school. If the most controversial thing he said was "stay in school and obey the teachers," to me thats no big deal. He has done things a lot more controversial since he has gotten into office, this is nothing.

    Im very conservative, but right now it has come to a point where people are being far too critical

  • couldn't agree more

  • @JeppyWick How is "stay in school and obey the teachers" controversial anyway?

  • I drove by the White House yesterday and this is what I saw unfornately:

    1) 10 broken down cars in the front lawn

    2) Garden overflowing with Watermelons

    3) Motorcade had 3 Black Escalade ESV's with 26in Chrome Rims equipped with stolen stereos

    4) 15 of his family members were sitting on chairs in front of the white house playing cards

    5) Flavored blunt wrappers on the sidewalk

    6) A pen full of chickens

    7) Smell of BBQ coming from the grill

  • @bjohnson9993

    You fucking racist motherfucker get a life ass muncher

  • You forgot the bucket of KFC

  • I keep reading all these comments saying that Obama should let the kids make their own opinions and he shouldn't interfere with that, but none of that makes any sense. Violence and poverty and most of the other bad things happening right now is due to lack of education. Kids getting pregnant and doing drugs, dropping out of school because they have no motivation and are poorly educated...

  • it all seems to be on the rise. Obama is trying to save our country in the future. If I were president that's something I would love to address. He's using his platform, like anyone else does, to try to inform as many people as possible. The problems with our youth are so overwhelming.

  • It doesn't seem like we can do enough to help them. It seems like it's almost a lost cause sometimes, but maybe his speech will help kids realize how important it is to be educated and stay in school. Maybe because of this speech we will have less gang violence and teen pregnancy. Who knows? But I don't see anything negative coming from this speech.

  • Not that I'm on anybody's side but Whats wrong with Obama's Speech because i saw the video and he just gave a normal speech.

    whats the problem?

  • in 1991 george bush gave the speech and not george w bush. wake up post production, geez

  • obama needs to shutup and let the kids decide who they support. the only reason he is giving a speech in the first place is to brainwash all the kids into thinking he is soooo great.

  • i guess you probably dont know that obama is not the first person to have a speech for the kids so in conclusion.....your dumb

  • Deport nobambo back to Kenya.

  • 1:00

    Yes, but Bush was critisized by Democrats... Whoops.

  • Obama cant even react to Charlie Sheen's letter Obama you New World Order puppet hope you rot in hell liar!!

  • Obama, you are one big liar!

  • How dare he tell kids to stay in school!!(sarcasm) These fucking people who say its part of some agenda to send this message should be shot in the face.Yeah people its some plot hes cooked up to turn us into socialists.You people make me sick for real.Die now please!!

  • The original speech was about UNicef, stem cell research and asking kids to "serve" the president. The President "Serves" THE PEOPLE. That was the orignal controversy and Obama pulled his original "united NAtions" agenda speech and went with a more ordinary speech. He got no balls.

  • I agree he doesnt have enough balls.

  • He's definitely got more balls than you have

  • Why did you feel the need to say that? Do you just go around and talk shit to people that say the smallest thing about obama? My first comment was defending Obama and your stupid ass saw one bad comment about him and you cant handle it?I like Obama so shut the fuck up douche bag.Hes too nice, he needs to get angry at these morons who spread lies.

  • Im one of these "people", who says that this is part of a socialist agenda. Why don't you come and shoot me in the face tough guy? Its people like YOU, who are too blinded by Obamas feeble lies, to see that he is pushing a socialistic regime, that make ME fucking sick.

  • @BenderBurgers Shut up. What you learn at school DOES NOT give u any political party tendeance so shut the hell up. I guess ur some of the guids who drop at school when ur not even in high school. But ill give u a hint, what u learn at school (besides all the obvious knowlegde, is to think clearly for YOURSELF and making the decisions that u feel are right.

  • @Ganzerino One word: Bullshit. You don't know what freedom of self is because all you know is what you learned in school, wake up. Btw what the fuck kind of president makes a mistake on a speech that's purposely being crafted by the same so called 'professionals' who people so copiously rely on to survive in this system? Especially when the mistake would have been explicitly implying .. things that are of a complete irrelevance to learning as a whole, and everything to do with raping your mind.

  • As someone on the outside looking in, the controversy is hilarious.

    It's a speech by the president telling kids to work hard and finish school.

    Oh horror of horrors?

    It doesn't even matter anyway because probably half those kids aren't going to pay attention or remember anyway.

    Get over it.

  • If Obama doesnt answer Charlie Sheen's letter then I truely had this shit with Obama, black or white or both it doesn't matter to me there ain't no change coming, and not only in America even in Europe and Azie the truth is getting more clearly about Obama's roll as president, just continue where Bush ended and no no don't listen to the people that voted for you, just leave the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and keep building basses and oil pumps and lines for their New World Order......!

  • And you should really listen to the speech about staying in school... Specially the English class...

  • One thing that bothers me about media is that every clear thinking individual understands that out of millions of letters and e-mails, you are always going to get some loopy ones. Someone will always compare you to a Nazi, no matter what your position. By airing the most ridiculous comments they give way too much credibility to the extreme end.

  • Only in America would so much negative attention be brought to the subject of trying to better educate our nation. Really, is it harming the children so badly? If they don't like the speech, they can still be free to drop out of school and be useless all they want. It's just a motivational speech for kids that might actually make something of their lives. I'd like to think that our nation was smarter than this. But from using Skype recently and talking to people outside the US,I'm surprised

  • The way it has been brought to the students is just wrong, it's not the presidents job to take care of the children of the world and tell them to go to school or you will have a hard time in the future.

    It's the parents job not his and to me it's all propaganda bullshit, just like his campanges full of promisses in the first few months as him being president but it all keeps getting wurse and at the end we all get a speech with, hang on people, work hard etc.. it will all be ok. BS !!!

  • Comment removed

  • But what if obama didnt address his speech? Right wing will attack him for not caring about our children.

    So, no matter what he do, its always "controversial".

  • and i'm happy you know everything about business after your 100 level business course. :) good for you.

    I also happen to be a criminology expert after taking crim 100. Amazing what education does eh? instant expertise. And my family owns a business, that is incorporated. So I have no problem with small business. Independent of monopolies. what we have in this country is some retarded child version of capitalism, mixed with a liberal economy based on free trade.

  • Yep, whatever man.

  • But I disagree with the conservatives because they tend to call me a liberal, when I disagree with both sides on the important issues. Neither side has the answers. They are just stuck in their political games which is bad for the country.

  • Well I guess I can't argue with that. I do see your point. My mistake I thought you were an ass, sometimes I let myself get angry of this stuff, I listen to too much radio. I always feel bad when I'm rude and for that I apologize. Tiger just gets out of the cage thats all.

  • yeah, no problem. I understand, my tiger got out as well. that kind of stuff happens around this shit man. Crazy, this shit gets so ridiculous. I apologize for any rudeness as well. By the way dude, sick Punisher figure, saw the vid on your page. I used to do figure work and models all the time.

  • But again, socialism does NOT lead to communism... That's like saying Liberalism leads to conservatism or vice versa. that's how opposite those ideologies are.

    Fascism is an EXTREME version of socialism, and both groups HATE communists. It's the reason Germany was at war with Russia. I just ask that you do some research. I'd be happy to look up some stuff and post links. I understand where you come from though, I didn't know the difference for a while either.

  • and a couple more things before I leave you to go off in the world to fend for yourself (it's a rough place after all)

    From your use of socialism, communism, and marxism it's clear you don't understand that they are not the same:

    Communism disagrees with socialism and marxism is neither. It's a whole 'nuther game, which I prefer to play by.

    Also, Hitler was scared of communists, as was mussolini... You're not Hitler.. are you? :D

  • Fine your entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't mean its right. Communism, socialism, to me its all the same. Especially since it something that should not be in our country. As for me being Hitler, I don't know. Cause I didn't try to exterminate 6 mil jew, and I don't have a silly mustache. Mussolini, Hitler they were all dictators, socialism leads to communism then to a dictatorship. Look at Venezuela, Cuba. All the same story. So to me its all the same.

  • For the record its okay to hate liberals. Cause they hate you, they hate themselves. I hate them because they attack me. It is rational to disagree with an irational group. They constantly attack me, the left wing media and the far left radicals, and liberal dems. They attack mine and your country and you get upset when I say liberals suck. Yes they are a disease cause I don't understand their logic, they have no logic. Example they hate corps and yet they are in bed with them right now.

  • Well, I disagree with hating a group but we can agree that liberals don't have the answer and they definitely are in bed with the corporations. They just do a better job of denying it. Anyone in politics is in bed with the corporations in some way. It's just how it is. But I think neither party has what is best for the country at heart when all they can do is attack each other. It's about time the parties started to work together DESPITE differences.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong. But that's just generally how people like you lean based on who you listen to. You take another persons word for fact, unquestionably, and therefore that makes you gullible.

  • "Please children dont listen tro Obama. Obama is a very very bad man because he is black. He says you should study hard in school for future benefits. Dont listen to him"

  • Shadac21: "liberals are a disease that need to be cured."

    So much for you being against Hitler. You both share similar ideals. What next... the jews? the communists?

    You sir, do not deserve freedom because of that simple statement.

  • Oh man, and the economy improved under Bush?! That's why we're are in the mess we are in! oh, and besides taxes.... where do you spend all your money? CORPORATIONS. Again look a little. Corporations out number governments in the world not only in number but in wealth! so how do they not have all our money again? The corporations are out for themselves... not anyone else. You let them get away with anything or ease up on them and things like the AIG fiasco happen. you are capitalistic, fascist.

  • Hey franz, you and your stupid ramblings is getting quite comical. I get it, you dont like corporations. So for the sake of your world lets get rid of the people who form a business that provides a good or service and employs people; the corporation, then where would your dumbass work? Oh yea, you would work for the wonderful govt. You would not want to start a buzz on your own and incorporate because that would make you evil. Franz, you must think people who prosper is a bad thing,

  • I'm done trying to talk to someone who is a brick wall of dickheadedness. If corporations didn't run the game I'd work for myself doing what I love, instead of working some shitty ass service sector job? I mean who doesn't want that? There are just other ways for things to go down, not just this capitalistic business, business, business idea. It's out dated and unsustainable.

  • Corporations commit some large worker and human and animal rights violations. And SO THE FUCK WHAT IF HITLER WAS A GREEN FREAK! GOOD FOR FUCKING HITLER! MAY HE ROT IN HELL! Is that your excuse for letting the fucking world go to shit?

  • But he is by no means a socialist... He bailed the banks out for christ sakes. If he were a socialist he would have let them burn. There are a lot of people in the whitehouse who are not bad because of their "communist values" it's because of the corporate pressuring that is put on them to serve the corporations over the people. It doesn't matter what you think about corporations, because i'm guessing all you know about them is from their advertisements.

  • Also, Socialism is already prevalent! Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits... Those are all "Bogey man Socialist" ideas. Stop fearing something you don't even understand. No one is going to take the second ammendment away! And if they did so called true americans might not even do anything about it because so called true americans that "deserve freedom" are apathetic slobs who don't care to take the time to do the work and ask questions. I don't like obama! let's get that out of the way.

  • You guys are jokes. Just dig a little and you start to see how much our country is run not by government but by corporate values. It's a one way track. And also before you decide to spout the red tide fearing propaganda that's been around since the cold war, read a book. Marx did not write about what communism became. Marx was for the rights of the average person and the workers. Is that so bad?

  • No communist, how about Frank Llloyd who wants to control the internet. How about the new guy they appointed who said th 2nd amendment is unconstitutional. How about the green czar who was booted out, who said white people poisoned black communities and are responsible for Global warming. How about the 50 communist czars he's appointed w/out checks, w/out regulation, w/out accountablility.

    The problem is you morons are no educated, your Sicko fans who don't even know your own history.

  • One, I have NEVER watched Sicko.

    two, I'm hardly a liberal you fucktard.

    three, I don't spout everything Limbaugh and Hannity spout... I'd hardly consider a oxy addict a reliable news source... I mean after surgery, I said some pretty stupid shit while I was on oxy.

    Based on who you claim as people you listen to I can say that:

    You are against abortion.

    You are against the idea of global warming.

    You HATE liberals.

    You are against immigrants.

    You believe that corporations are good.

  • Well see your a moron and are incapable of a rational thought. You think everyone who listens to Rush or Savage sucks. Of course you do cause your an evil dickhead, who doesn't like people who have another opinion. You would love to shut me up, see your not a liberal you are a communist. Because your a moron and you have nothing to argue with that can beat me you attack who I listen to. Wow how sad. But thats how all you communists control people, well sorry if I don't get trapped by your BS.

  • BTW yes

    -Abortion is wrong I knew that when I held my 7 month old nephew. I can;t imagine anyone who would wanna put down something so precious.

    -Global warming is full of crap, there's no proof, its fake science so the govt can't take more control. If anything we're global cooling now.

    - Yes liberals are a disease.

    -Illegal immigrants idiot, there's a difference. Your illegal your breaking the law.

    -Some corps are good they make our capitalist society go round. But yes there are some crooks

  • Glad to see you are so predictable. I also disagree with abortion, and I think both conservatives and liberals are wrong. If that makes me a communist, well fuck me.

    I'm a damn communist! WOO HOO I'm THE FUCKING RED TIDE BOOGEY MAN!!

    oh, and anyone capable of rational thought does not consider anyone a "disease". Thats just plain irrational. You are entitled to your rather typical right winger opinion and I'm entitled to be a communist. Ain't America GREAT boy?

  • Funny thing about all dictatorships. They all started out just like obam, wanting to help people make everything fair, help the enviroment. Hitler was a green freak, Hugo Chavez shut down talk radio. Obama is following in the footsteps of dictators and supporting them and all you can do is bitch about the 10 million illegal immigrants who don't have healthcare.

    If you do then your an ignoramus and a moron and you don't deserve freedom.

  • audiowings the difference with this and "ask not..." appears to be that the one delivering the message this time its not a white ken doll but a dark skined arab...... i hust dont get you guys, you have what appears to be the first american president born and made in the american dream, the first american president outside the old powers, the first american president that is more like any of the ones posting here.. but he had to be black..... to bad for all de good and normal americans out there

  • jczama:

    So, what exactly is YOUR point,then? What the hell is wrong with him being black? That's just YOUR own fucked-up little issue.

  • Where did all these people get the idea that the President was going to indoctrinate kids to be liberals? I read the text of the speech and it was fine and now I hear there was some type of plan to have children write reports or something about helping the president. (Which still doesn't sound bad..."Ask not what your country can do for you, etc...) Where did you guys get this partisan lesson plan info? I got all my info off of government sites. Where could I find that info?

  • what I dont get is kids dont listen to their parents...why would anyone think they're gonna listen to Obama...just cuz he's president?....they have even less respect for that

  • Why do you republicans have to be sooooooooo stupid , Reagan created the czar program first, with the so-called drug czar, G.W. Bush had 22 czars in his administration, you idiots have to stop watching Fox - your embarrasing our country to the rest of the world

  • Also no one seems to realize that the stimulus is the only thing that kept our economy from totally bottoming out!

    Educate yourselves! Don't just take some biased opinion on the matter for fact!

  • Comment removed

  • No, the stimulus didn't cause the recession ,you moron---it was the collaspe of the housing market, which wasn't being regulated worth a damn----THAT'S WHY.

  • Franz, Obama said that if we dont pass the stim bill the unemployment would go over 8%. Well unemployment at 9.7% by Obama's criteria, it would have been better not to pass the stim bill. The stim bill has done nothing positive for the economy. The govt should leave us the hell alone since it was the govt that got us into this problem with the stupid fanni/freddie thing. The more money the govt tax the less freedom the people have. And now we are trillions in debt. No, govt cant fix stuff.

  • It hasn't done anything positive because it was a last ditch effort to keep it from failing utterly. It saved the employment rate from going much much higher. nothing the government does could possibly have a positive effect on our economy the way it is right now... They can only take measures that prevent it from being utterly destroyed.

  • I just don't wanna see my tax $ go to people who are capable. I'm not talking about the people with MS, idiot. So stop trying to make me look bad you only made yourself look like a jackass, which you are. Besides we pay taxes and where does the money go, the streets are broken, the bums piss in the streets. So ya I love what the govt does with our roads. I wish you can see how stupid and pathetic you are. And don't guilt me asshole, cause I've actually helped the sick, nice try moron.

  • Hey franz, the more you talk, the more you confirm what I said about you; you dont know what the hell you are talking about. Atleast take a basic business course.

  • Lower corporate taxes!?!? They have all of our money!

    The corporations are richer and have more power than our own government! They should be taxed to hell and the money returned to our country!

  • Comment removed

  • No, it was Bush who started kicking in all the stimulus money to the banks---Obama just picked up from where he left off. This whole controversy thing is just bullshit,plain and stupid, If parents don't want their kids to listen to the President, they might as well just turn of the T.V. and not let their kids listen to ANYTHING or anybody that has a different opnion form them. That is SO stupid and ridiculous.

  • hey franzjoseph, you dont know what you are talking about. Corps are the job creaters and by taxing them to hell, you get what you got now--unemplyment 9.7% Your comment 'money returned to our country' is a stupid one because it is the govt that takes money from its people. When the govt tax corps 'to hell' it hurts the country because who the hell do you think corps are? Kenedy, Reagan, and Bush lowered corp taxes and the economy improved. Your statement that corps have all our money-dumbass.

  • Comment removed

  • ummm... There are no communists in the white house.

    And that you were insulting them by calling them communists is ignorant. Hoover would be proud.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey franzjose, you said there are no communists in the white house----well now that Van Jones quit you comment makes some sense. How many czars in the white house will not be insulted if I called them socialist?

  • The speech was not the issue. It was the lesson plan that asked the children " how can I help the president?". My answer would have been; dont do the govt run healthcare, stop with these stupid tax, spend, print, and borrow policies, lower corp taxes, and stay away from Hugo Chavez. Oh yea and Mr President, dump all those dumbass czars.

  • Shadyac21, you're right. You don't have all the solutions.  You don't have any solutions. Why? Because instead of studying, you're on YouTube flapping your gums.

  • Comment removed

  • "i like to stand up to my liberal teachers, etc."..."and I don't like change at all"

    again, for all the rest to see. proof in the fuckin' pudding. You sound just like a 3 year old who can't get his fuckin' way. You use "communist" and "socialist" because you'll get crucified for calling obama a "nigger"

  • Your the hateful one, you accuse me of racism because I don't agree with cap&trade and spread the wealth. Ecuse the shit out of me for having common sense. Your right I can't name a jazz technique because I forgotten, so who cares, you don't even know what your arguing, you lost before you even got started. You communists are the angry mobs, nice try but I won't be trapped by you. Thats how you control people, you call anyone racist if they disagree with King obama. Sorry dopehead.

  • pointing out racism is not hatred, you idiot.

    It's not common sense. Seriously, stop using stupid-ass catch phrases that don't apply to this situation at all, you sound more and more like a little kid trying to argue.

    You've said the same things over and over again, and i've pointed out again that you are following the conservative line of thought, irrationally, without thinking about it.

    i am not a communist. Now you are racist for calling me that because i am of part chinese descent.

  • you don't rmember because you never KNEW, buddy.

    i have not said ANY of those things. I disagree with the conservative line because studies show that poor people need their money to survive. Rich people tend to store it. Therefore, poor people should be taxed less. Rich, a proportional amount that equals the value of taxed money to a poor person. So naturally, rich people should be taxed more. Rich people storing money does nothing for the income and that has been proven.

  • The thing is most poor people don't pay tax, its the rich that pay the tax burden. The rich produce things the govt does. And of course there are crooks on wall street I know that but we can deal with them. Let me ask you, if you think that people on wall street are crooks what makes you think the govt won't do the same thing. The difference is we can put in jail those people, but not the govt.

  • i don't understand where you're getting your sources. I can rattle off a few right now. Check out Urban Institute, most public policy think tanks are all saying that what you're basically stating is wrong. Like straight up wrong. Read those articles and THEN get back to me, buddy.

    Yes, poor people don't pay taxes because they can't AFFORD to. Money for poor people has a higher marginal utility than for rich people. So, the skimming for the government should come from the rich!

  • Its common sense and the Drudge Report, and talk radio of course since the media doesn't do its job.

    Don't tell me they can't afford it, get a job. This is the land of oppurtunity everyone has the chance to make, some have to work harder then others but so what. Skimming from the govt does come from the rich idiot, the govt doesn't produce anything they just collect taxes. Maybe if people would get off welfare and do something with their lives, the rich produce things the govt doesn't.

  • Dude whats with you, personally I don't care what you are chinese, black, hispanic. Except N korean I hate them, but the point is that what I'm telling you is the truth. I'm saying that you've been lied to for 8 years about Bush was evil and if obama is elected then he's gonna give you free everything. What you don't realize what we conservatives believe in is limited govt, what obama is doing is making things worse and everytime I say this you get mad, what can I do.

  • dude what's with YOU??? you're the one calling me racist. now you can't take some back?

  • WHAT! Are you serious, you were the first one to scream out racist, you called me a white supremacist, btw you don't have to be white to racist, most black people today are just as racist, you said I only disagree with obama cause he's black. I said thats not true I disagree because he's a marxist. I've said it over and over why, but you don't listen. You know I beat you but then you attack my art as a pathetic attempt to make me crack. Catch a breath before you drown moron.

  • wow, see seirously, you can't make an argument stick together without implying some ridiculous shit.

    racism implies a power continuum. It's racism if the power continuum goes away from the group being attacked. So technically, black people cannot be racist. White people are completely to blame for black people being here in the first place. So no, i am not racist, i am merely fighting the power continuum, if you are making communist comments about me because i am chinese, you are being racist.

  • Says who, so I can't call you the N word but you can call me cracker. I think its very racist, just like Van jones, and that asshole AG and Rev Wright, They are all opened communist racist, they blame white people for everything. So ya buddy black people are just as racist. I don't care what you are but to me cracker is just as racist as the N word. The door swings both ways.

  • actually, that's the exact idea. Sorry, that's the perks of being white. You can't say shit against us, but we can say whatever we want to you. That's the way the cookie crumbles. It is absolutely okay for black people to speak out against white oppression but not okay for white people to speak down to blacks. If the majority of poor people are black, then they get the right to speak out against the system that's been crafted against them...sorry man. It's the way it is.

  • Ya because your all sleazy racists pricks, thats why. Tell me how thats fair, jerk. You know atleast my family didn't need to accuse anyone of racism to get money. My grandfather and my dad still work hard and they were poor but they made something of themselves. And if your poor thats too damn bad, its your own fault, if you took responsibility for your own actions instead of sitting in Re Wrights church blaming my grandfathers who fought for your fucking freedom.

  • I can think for myself, I consistently DO think for myself. And I've definitely considered republican, libertarian and centrist views on alot of these points, but a good majority of the facts and views you've pointed out are just plain wrong! I just think you need to read some more (seriously) news, and you need to study the statistics and make your views around them, not shape them around your views. Seriously, you're not stupid, but you really have stated some serious misinformation here.

  • Get out of here you moron I'm sick of people like you. I've every piece of crap you said before, your nothing knew buddy. Why don't you peddle your obama crap to someone who hasn't heard this garbage before, your wrong I'm right, get over it. I'll tell you one thing a lot of black I know are pissed because of what obama is doing. The only ones who aren't are the black panther types that show up to the polls with clubs. Piss off I'm done with you and your pathetic crap. You jerk.

  • ladies first. Seriously, you are nothing new either. It is even the subject of my study. Conservatives won't listen to facts. I have actually studied your side, and my side. I agree there are finer points that need to be argued, but you just take a hammer to the whole damn thing!

    Yeah that comment is really, really, really REALLY racist. 95% of black america voted for Obama so i don't know where you live. Obviously the other 5% live in your neighborhood.

  • I am, perhaps a jerk. But I am only a jerk because I have been "jerked" so many times by conservatives (haHA!)

    I ma be a moron as well! I sure as hell don't run around pretending to know everything. But I'm never sick of a healthy debate like this! it only points out to me what kind of thinking goes into libertarian philosophy. It's pure emotional reactionary response. Everything else is crafted around it.

  • How am I misinformed, I think you are, I just stated common sense, how does the govt make a profit?

    Times up, they don't they tax you.

    Its just common sense how can you not see it. Obama is turning us in a land of entitlements only its not even the poor benefitting. The only people getting rich are the SEIU, ACORN, GE which owns NBC. Getting it, do you know where they got it from, the Stimulus.

    I don't know how much more clear I can be. Your just stupid is all I can say.

  • Wait, you just proved my point. The governmnt profits by not taxing? Isn't that what you don't want?

    Common sense is very much flawed. Read Freakonomics. What we "know" is many times, completely wrong. Take an economics course! Seriously, i'm telling you again, buddy. Read some studies. Get FIRSTHAND knowledge and THEN argue. I can't stress that more. In a world where we're constantly embattered by advertisements, it's hard to think for yourself. Try learning, and then arguing. It works.

  • Thats where your wrong, I would give in if you had a few good points but you haven't. I don't need your fake studies, I bet you go to Berkely. I don't need to read books on how white people are the source of all our problems. You won't listen to my side, even though I'm right, and black people all over agree with me, you just won't see them on NBC.

  • LOL that's my problem with you. You won't listen to anyone because you have such a inmovable stance. I've actually studied this alot, and conservatives tend to not budge because of their ideological need to stick in and not listen. I've actually provided alot of evidence, if you've really been reading this.

  • I do listen but what am I missing, your a racist I get it, its because I stick to the constitution from our fore fathers, unlike you communist libs, we conservatives get our beliefs right out of the contitution. I've studied you libs all you preach is anti american crap.

  • YO ENOUGH WITH THE RHETORICAL PLOYS. "You just hate america, blah blah blah blah!" I do NOT hate america. I am NOT communist. I am MERELY a MORALIST who believes that it is YOUR and MY responsbility to help people who were born into a less fortunate situation! You are white and have never had to deal with the problems arising from being black or hispanic or even asian in america! Just like people twist the bible, you twist the constitution.

  • I'm all for helping people, but in this country you don't have to. But why depend on the govt is what I'm saying. Thats bullshit I've been through more of people's problems them you have and I wish could help them, but its no ones responsibility but theirs. Your black and all you know is how to use people to promote your hate. Here's some bible shit

    you can give someone fish or you can teach them to fish so they can fend for themselves.

  • no you are not! You would not give money if you have to. The laws of evolution and economics dictate that you would not give money to the poor if you were not forced to.

    Really, i find that amusing. You obviously have not, just based on our ideology.

    No, actually Laozi wrote that way before the bible did.

  • Yes I have asshole what have you done, marching in the suburbs cheating people out of their homes. Just cause I feel people should help themselves doesn't mean I've done nothing myself. See your a hateful black prick. What American dream you preach, how to steal from people who actually work hard. Some people may not have what I have but I thank God everyday for what I have. But its not my fault that everyone doesn't have so easy. See if you believed in God you'd realize maybe this is my bliss.

  • Comment removed

  • you are NOT LISTENING if you are going to spew DUMB shit from your trap. You are just being ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous.

    You have not studied a damn thing! You have no clue how the other half lives! You know NOTHING! I have friends who were republicans who changed their views after we spent a month teaching poor children in impoverished conditions. Where were you?? drawing your comics, of course! Shooting guns, maybe. Not making a positive difference in the world!

  • what you are missing is that not all people are as lucky as you! You can afford to go to school to draw! We go to school to learn a trade that we don't like but that we can use to support our families!

    How can you say to may face that what i preach is anti-american? What I AM is purely the american dream!! PURELY american! I work ot pull myself out of this rut!

  • Thats where your wrong again, I've helped people and made a difference in their lives, I helped a boy in jr high who was being bullied, his mom had cancer and he had a tough time, but I got some help and support for him. I've give to charity, and I've volunteered at a hospital, reading and teaching the sick people DRAWING. I've done many things to make a difference. I've felt so miserable cause I can't help these people. But I can only do so much.

  • That is a TERRIBLE excuse for turning the other cheek, then! You of all people, then, should know that your time, your money, all of these things, can go to help someone somewhere. If you truly believe in helping then, you will pay your taxes, no matter how high. Because under the Obama tax plan, the marginal utility of MONEY to PEOPLE will be taken into account, not an increase in taxes for the poor and decrease for the rich.

  • Why? Why should I, sure you pay taxes but why not save that money and give it to charities not the welfare. Obama's tax plan is broke to shit. Thats not what is gonna happen, its not gonna do anything but raise taxes for no reason. We all know people on welfare are too lazy to get a job, they skim off the system. So why should I give them 40% of my income. No I give to charities and things like that.

  • because you're basically giving it to charity! You're helping to provide money for the sick, the poor, those trapped in a burning house. Charities don't run ambulances. I sure as heck don't want a charity running the police. There you go again, you can't prove that! In fact all the proof runs the other way around! Think of it as giving it to a big charity! Problem solved!

  • uh it's pretty widely known that the wall street journal is a conservative paper. Rupert Murdock is definitely a conservative who owns the umbrella corporation of all newpsapers. the wall street journal said the stimulus is working. it's working, bud. that's that. you're denying pure fact, now.

  • Okay smart one, tell me how the stimulus is working. With people losing jobs left and right, 9.7% unemployment, the debt quadrupled in one year, business' going under, hardly anyone is hiring. But ya the stimulus is working. They are also printing money which is gonna cause inflation, the cap&trade will increase the energy bills. But no obamas spending is working. Rupert is not a conservative if you believe the wall street journal isn't liberal then your an ignoramus.

  • i still don't understand WHERE you are getting your sources?? Show me ONE.

  • Where ever I can, obviously not the media since all they do is talk about obamas dog, and that the tea party people are un american.

    But here's one try drudge report. Plus I have to get it from the radio because they are saying what the media won't. If you want truth you got to go to Savage, Beck, Rush, Sean. And don't give me the hate towards talk radio speech, I've heard it before. Because they tell you things you won't hear in the lib media, the truth.

  • All hail the truth sayers!!That's not truth,its nitpicking..these people were just as vocal in the DEFENSE of Bush wrongdoing.

    Face it,you can find fault with ANYONE or ANYTHING if you look hard enough.Jesus,a perfect man,was mercilessly crucified and excused of being a heretic and a rabblerouser..why are we not trying to help he who is trying to help us?

  • Thats not true if you listened to them for the last 8 years you woul hear how they criticized Bush when he fucked up. Michael Savage called him a socialist in 2006.

    And I don't quite get it whats with the Jesus thing?

  • We all know they're to lazy to get a job? Well I'll tell you what I know. I know a family who barely scrapes by on wellfare, because the husband has Multiple sclurosis, and the wife has two kids to take care of AND has a job as a waitress. I'd hardly call that lazy. And if you don't pay taxes there are no roads, public schools, etc etc. So don't be such a dumb ass.

  • So, my grandfather cut part of his foot off, its stitched together but he couldn't work. Then my grandmother went out and bought food stamps and it was the most humiliating thing she said she ever did. Then my grandfather was so mad he got up went out and got a job. Because he knew he'd rather die then take a govt handout. So don't try to guilt me okay, you think I'm against paying taxes, once again moron your wrong.

  • Hey shadyac21, I agree with you, Obama is busting down the economy with his polices. He has no clue of how to fix an economy because if he did, he would not attack the private sector with his agenda. Either he is incompetent or doing this on purpose to 'change' the infrastructure of America.

  • Thank appreciate it,

  • Uh, the economy was ALREADY busted down while BUSH wa in office---how the hell can you blame Obama for somehting the Republicans should have had under control? Y'all sound ridiculous as hell.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey statelybird, when Bush gave tax cut to all taxpayers the economy went up. Unemplyed rate was down to about 4.8%, the lowest in since Clinton, and the IRS collected record revenues. In 2006, the dems took over both houses and the econ started to slide down. Fannie and freddie was about to explode and the dems fought the rep to keep it going. Fannie/freddie fiasco was a dem controled program. Now Obama's stim plan is not working. Tax, spend, borrow, and print money and we have 9.7% unemplyed.

  • the stimulus is working. the wall street jones says so.

  • Comment removed

  • Hah you listen to what wallstreet has to say you might as well commit suicide cuz ur already dead you dumb motherfucker.

  • seriously? okay, because you know SO much about economics already. lolol what do you listen to? hahahaha i bet you're whackin' off over some Ann Coulter...reallll good, man. buuuuut you fail.

    try again?

  • Man your a retard. I dont know who Ann coulter is and i dont care im just saying if you listen to wallstreet you must be the definition of a fucking SHEEP! Follow the herd and go listen to the news go listen to fox and go get the swine flu vaccine you dumb mother fucker. I wish ppl were just brighter... nobody now a days seems to have the ability to think ciritcally and think for themselves. your fucking stupid bro post more of your retarded comments on youtube. good job buddy!

  • you don't listen to anyone. that's your problem. what a retard. Your IQ is lower than the goddamn air conditioning. You just want to see america burn for your selfish egoism.

  • on a side note, that is good to hear! Most conservatives would not stoop so low as to "give" to charity. I am glad to hear that you are at least human, even if we can't agree on this.

  • Thank you, I have and it tears my heart because I do wanna help people. But how much money has the govt poured into the war on poverty. The only way is to get people to make their own money, the govt doesn't do that, the private sector does. In the obama tax plan there is nothing for lowering taxes.

    I have seen that, kids I read stories too but they can't understand. Kids with tubes in their bodies. Its horrible it one thing I curse God for, but its not a time to turn to the govt.

  • Yo, i don't know if you've read this really important study. The private sector has seen 3-4% growth in areas that would have had negative growth had it not been or the stimulus. The issue now, is not, is the stimulus working, but rather "will it stop when the stimulus stops?"

    I didn't say the obama tax plan had lowering taxes. I said that the marginilzation of taxes would be more evenly spread. Rich people will pay more taxes.

  • Comment removed

  • And how much money has been poured into the war on drugs?

  • but the problem still arises, if you realize that you can only help so many people, how, then, can you expect all those people with cancer, and horrible sicknesses to be treated, if there is a rising healthcare cost and nobody wants to pick up the slack? Picture that boy. If you were helpless to find a means to help him, how would you feel when this boy's mother passed away and then he was out on the streets? It is this belief that we liberals hold, that this boy deserves the care of a mother!

  • you know what i find funniest, is that you said i use "race" and "hate" but look at all the fuckin' garbage that's spilling out of your trap.

    hahahahaha it's pure republican. pure conservative methodology. If you can't win, reaffirm your belief and smack your head harder and throw bad words and homophobic puns in there.
