Question! The order of stakeholders importance are the bond holders first, prefer stocks holders second, common stocks holders third, and other stakeholders forth. With government bailout of GM, where does the government fall?

[CMK227CR]

Easy question, Union first, government second and the secured bond holders are no lkonger secured since Obama has no respect for the bondholder and stockholder. If you think that does not affect the average person what do you think your 401k mutual fund invest in... Stocks and bonds so you are also getting screwed on this deal.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in to her official advisory council the head of an Arab American organization whose officials have labeled deadly anti-U.S. jihadists as "heroes" and opposed referring to Hamas as a terrorist organization.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC, also has close ties to anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, whose association with President Obama, stirred controversy during last year's presidential campaign.

lol, like the heritage foundation cares about working people

[KupoChan123]

Who does that code word "working people" or "working class" refers to? What does that mean anyway? If their is working people wouldn't that suggest the only other people are non-working people. Non-working people would be bums and the welfare population.

1st principles...

there are 3 types of conservatives...xenophobes, greedheads and religionists... the heritage foundation is primarily a service for greedhead type conservatives, with alot of xenophobia thrown in

[KupoChan123]

I think the better words for the 3 conservatives are national security, fiscal and social conservatives.

Since I graduated from college and had course that deals with socialist studies. I kinda had an idea who does working class people are refers to. Normally when the professor talks about working class people, it is often refers to blue collars and manual labor workers. Still whenever it is used in a classroom, the professor included himself and us in the working class. We are none of those.

you will find that the greedhead type conservative has a visceral hatred tward working people...

i believe this stems from one of two types of fear...

since greedhead type conservatives feel they are 'owed' something from society, any compensation to others is percieved as a direct threat to themselves.

the other, when applied to a wage earning type greedhead, is self loathing and hatred. this seems to be the more common type. this variety tends to vote against their self intrests.

Sotomayor just broke her ankle. She even has a radical walk.

[ka7krz]

apparently she can't walk and hold a straight face at the same time.

[FrancescaGianna]

She's a little fat too. Too many tacos. Obama's fat tax will slim her down.
