Seriously who gives a fuck about "bettering" our education system when there is no fucking jobs to be had!! and you must be half retarded to say a presidents goal is to ruin the education system LOL.. Im with Tyler, I find it so hard to believe people are blind enough to not see what happened in the last 4 years and want to continue this garbage..

I havent once heard of students or parents raving about how much cheaper and easier school has been in the last 4 years, and that was his big promise last election too, all I hear is students bitching about not having jobs... and all his jibber jabber about "clean energy" wasting all our tax money on this shit, what do we here in Cedar Rapids get out of it?? layoffs at Clipper thats what we get.

I love where uneducated voters start talking like they have a clue. My brother works in the educational system; check some stats. Numbers of teachers and teacher pay has drastically fallen while administrators and their pay have drastically increased in the last 4 years (It's something like 26% overall). THAT is was Romney means by removing people from the educational system. We all know no President in their right mind means to remove teachers just for fun. It's idiotic that people actually believe that crap. No research done whatsoever, yet that sways your vote. It's no wonder we are in this ridiculous mess. IF you watched the debate when Obama was trying to sound smart, saying the exact same drivel about education, he got pwned by Romney who said that while reducing people in the educational system, and increasing class sizes, he managed to move his state's educational system up to #1 in the country....Need I say more? Even the god Obama had nothing to say to that. Government wastes so much it's unbelievable, and Obama wants more government? Give me a break. This country was founded by private enterprise, and nothing good ever came from a big government.

Don't get me wrong I do a lot of my own information gathering, but you give one opinion on the internet and you get called a retard or uneducated - etc etc etc. Everyone thinks they know more than the next guy.

you can't simply say obama sucks because our economy sucks. it may or may not have been a fixable situation in 4 years. we won't ever know. we have only been in a couple other major depressions in this countries history. romney could come in next and be a shitty president and our economy still might go through a healthy recovery naturally. kind of like how our economy was so strong with bill clinton but was it bill or were we just in good times.

also I believe the financial bailout was supported by romney . not the auto bailout but he supported the "wall street" bailout along with many other republicans

It doesn't take a genius to understand that Obamacare is going to cost you, me, our kids, and grand kids a ton of money. The mentality of this president goes something like this:

Problem: Health insurance is too expensive for many to afford along with this crappy economy
Solution: Make people buy health insurance or else fine them for not buying it.

GENIUS!!!!!

Hope none of you plan on selling your house anytime soon. Did you know that Obamacare will add in 2014 a 3.8% sales tax on top of the existing fees associated with selling your home to pay for the Afordable Care Act? This probably won't affect anyone by then anyway, beings how we'll not have any jobs to pay for our houses anyway.

When they did the auto bailout they cut dealers. Alot of people lost jobs from closed dealers. Now they cut about 2000 dealers. Between GM and Chrysler. Say each dealer has 50 employees that 100,000 jobs no longer there at that time. Not to say other dealers didn't pick-up other guys to offset it.

I didn't really understand the planned parenthood abolishment angle. That snowballing with the 'what is rape' argument when Romney really needed to focus more moderately. The healthcare, bailout, etc arguments I can completely understand the disagreements on. The Republican party catered too much the the tea party side and thats what bit them in the ass IMO. Bet on a lot more intellectual group of republicans running in 4 years who will be much more moderate conservatives (Jeb bush, huntsman, etc). The climate was too hot in the primaries for any republican not to try and swing the right.

Wrong, until GM's stock almost doubles they still owe you the taxpayer a substantial amount of money. The government still owns a 27% stake in GM, for the taxpayers to get their money back the stock would need to trade at about $54 a share. About $30 Billion is still owed....

Women have the rights they need when it comes to that!! They are female, they should be the ones to accept responsibility on when they open their legs and decide its a good or bad idea to risk preganency, dont place that on the president and start to be responsible for your own decisions. If they want to go around and have a bunch of sex before they're ready for a kid then buy your own birth control or get health insurance that offers it, or buy condoms...

and obama's pathetic attempts to go green are rediulous, when the technology allows for it to be feasable it will happen.. right now its just throwing money down the drain investing OUR tax money in this garbage. Clipper came out really well with that didnt they? Look out the over priced chevy volt that flopped too. He swapped money from defense spending "losing jobs at rockwell" to investing in green energy and lost jobs at clipper somehow.. If all this emmisions stuff would loosen up we could have dramatically cheaper cars, and alot of these emisions restricted engines are burning alot more fuel to make the same amount of power than less restricted engines, imagine that?

Yeah it does, because I just did. This wonderful country and it's first amendments allows me to be a douche all I want. I don't "think" I know about politics, I do. I'm not an expert, but I bet I know more than 95% of most people. It was a minor of mine, and not one I took lightly. That's why I rag on people so hard. I throw out facts and figures that they have never heard of, yet are true statistics. But, people are too stupid to understand, it's easier to just say, "just because you think you know about politics...." rather than get a clue.

Also, I'm not a Republican, so that quote doesn't have any affect on me. I don't carry a narrow enough view to be of one party. I vote merit, not party line. But anyone that differentiates only between Dem and Repub probably has a much narrower view of party structure and available candidates.

I still LOL at people that think global warming is an actual problem. It's been heating and cooling for millions of years; no amount of what we little humans do makes a big difference in the overall picture. The earth was here long before us and will be long after. You do realize that your "global warming" guru, Al Gore, bought himself an oceanfront estate in California last year, right? You know, the same guy that said within our lifetime if we didn't reverse our trends, the ocean would overtake most of that state? Right....right.... (more facts ignored). God I hate political rants, but I just can't fathom the thought processes of some people. I HATE HATE HATE talking politics, but please people, do your own research.

I didn't say poly sci, I said History. Big difference. American History is that annoying thing kids like you avoided in middle and high school, and definitely in college. People like me saw value in getting to know our founding fathers and what they believed in, faults and merits both. It's what helps people like me to educate people like you in what our FF would do if they were alive today since you couldn't be inconvenienced with that kind of learning years past.

Yes, I did just school you, which I am about to do again. You didn't re-elect a "democratic president." You re-elected a Democrat (there is no "ic" when speaking of a party), and both "Democrat" and "President" use capital letters. A "Democrat" is a member of a political party, "democratic" refers to a type of political structure. Also, we aren't even a "democracy," we are technically a Constitutional Republic. So yes, you have been taken to school.

I don't need your age, educational attainment, or anything about you to make assumptions. Do I need to know if you're male or female to guess that you're male? No. Do I need to know for a fact that you wear tennis shoes to know that own some? No. It's called deductive reasoning, and based upon your spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and ability to grasp facts, I CAN make quite an educated guess about any one of those things you stated that I cannot. (Guess one of my majors, I bet you can).
Yes, I have very well taken into account that not everyone fits into a cohesive little group, there are always outliers. But to make note of each one would be idiotic, it's just as easy to group them together in this instance, as it really doesn't change the facts at all anyways, so there's no need for me to be so concise.

I have also taken into account that people want a welfare state, that has become abundantly clear. That doesn't mean I have to like it, it doesn't mean I have to change my opinion or my morals/ethics, and it does mean I get to lash out in anger if I want to. All things that are in that yellowing piece of paper that you know so little about. Just like you are throwing a whiny little pissy fit over me calling you out, I'm just returning the favor. It doesn't even have to be about politics; pick a color out of a crayon box, I'll argue about that too, if you like.

Also, it's, ".....than you." at the end of that sentence, since I'm in the mood to be a Nazi today. And for your info, I'm actually a really great guy. Those on the boards that have met me probably have a completely different view of me as a person than my online persona. But our country is something I take extremely seriously, it's not to be taken lightly. If I'm an asshole for standing up for what I believe in, whether you agree with it or not, I could care less. I'll grandstand all day long until my face is blue if it means beating down the disinformation that plagues an entire society of voters to the point where it insults my intelligence.

do glaciers shrink during global cooling?


quote from wiki

Wiki is not, nor has it ever been, an objective source of information. Unless you've ever seen a scientific journal denote "Wikipedia" as a source of info in a scholarly journal, in which case, throw that journal out the window. Twice. Also, it's being noted, even by tree huggers, that snow melt in the North is actually being shored up by ice formation in the South Pole. Polar shift...another global phenomenon....ahh, nevermind.

i don't need your age, educational attainment, or anything about you to make assumptions. Do i need to know if you're male or female to guess that you're male? No. Do i need to know for a fact that you wear tennis shoes to know that own some? No. It's called deductive reasoning, and based upon your spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and ability to grasp facts, i can make quite an educated guess about any one of those things you stated that i cannot. (guess one of my majors, i bet you can).
Yes, i have very well taken into account that not everyone fits into a cohesive little group, there are always outliers. But to make note of each one would be idiotic, it's just as easy to group them together in this instance, as it really doesn't change the facts at all anyways, so there's no need for me to be so concise.

I have also taken into account that people want a welfare state, that has become abundantly clear. That doesn't mean i have to like it, it doesn't mean i have to change my opinion or my morals/ethics, and it does mean i get to lash out in anger if i want to. All things that are in that yellowing piece of paper that you know so little about. Just like you are throwing a whiny little pissy fit over me calling you out, i'm just returning the favor. It doesn't even have to be about politics; pick a color out of a crayon box, i'll argue about that too, if you like.

Also, it's, ".....than you." at the end of that sentence, since i'm in the mood to be a nazi today. And for your info, i'm actually a really great guy. Those on the boards that have met me probably have a completely different view of me as a person than my online persona. But our country is something i take extremely seriously, it's not to be taken lightly. If i'm an asshole for standing up for what i believe in, whether you agree with it or not, i could care less. I'll grandstand all day long until my face is blue if it means beating down the disinformation that plagues an entire society of voters to the point where it insults my intelligence.

tl:dr

When those "different opinions" have basis in fact and reality, I'm always willing to listen. Until then, you might want to take your own advice and listen to a guy that actually knows what he is talking about. You know, the guy with a "different opinion" that isn't based in a land of Unicorn pee and fairy farts.

You have this whole time been defending yourself and insulting me because I defended obama voters from your sterotypical insult. I don't yet believe you know what you are talking about.

You might be a nice guy, but on here you come off as pompous and close minded. Only you wouldn't know that because im not bashing you with insults based on judgments i've made based off your spelling and grammar. Thats probably because of how immature I am though.

I feel like we should all get together, have some beer and discuss this in person. :-)

I've said it many times. Romney's stance on women's rights is almost laughable, I personally feel like that is what lost him the election. I still say that as long as the people choose, we're bound to fail. I would bet MAYBE 5%-10% of this country is actually well enough informed to vote and that might be a stretch. Regardless of political party affiliation, all I ever hear are "one liners" being spewed from people. 47% this and Muslim that, people rely on media to "inform" them and that is what they base their vote on. I dont think I have to even mention how horrible that is.

Now, I do, "PERSONALLY" feel like if it weren't for the lazy fuckers enjoying the free ride, the election would have gone differently. I can't count how many welfare collecting fucks I heard say something along the lines of "I'm voting for Obama so I can keep gettin my welfare" or "he's gonna pay for my school" or "free health care" etc... it's like the telephone game we all played at some point in our lives. There are facts and then there is what people hear and believe after reading a post on facebook or talking to Latifa down at the huuur salon or Tyrone while waiting to collect his welfare check. I believe Abraham Lincoln said something along the lines of "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we fall, it will be of our own doing". I think that time is fast approaching.

Did the TV tell you that? All Obama voters don't take responsibility? Really think about that.


Why are all republicans douchebags.

See what I did there?


Just because you think you know about politics doesnt give you the right to insult anyone who voted for anyone else.

QFT! Just because someone has a different opinion on the facts presented to them doesn't mean that they are complete morons who wish to hand out money wrecklessly and don't care. Obviously there's a lot of opinion behind whatever facts you are trying to present. More bullying and less factual.

ok heres another shit storm topic.. I try not to post on FB much about this crap, but I keep reading about "equal rights" garbage, I dont think I have ever seen a example of people being denied anything because they are gay or a woman! Some states you may not be able to get married but big deal, go to a state where you can, get married and then go home.. I dont understand why these views are such a big deal. and womans rights?! you've got to be kidding me, girls can get jobs EASIER than guys just because of that fact since all these business's actually get breaks for being "diverse", if anything the white males are the ones being discriminated against lately.

The womens rights argument stemmed exclusively from the idea of getting rid of planned parenthood, abortion, and birth control.
