<description>I&amp;#039;m only playing the stupid game back. I didn&amp;#039;t start with the attacks on ANYONE. They were started on me for NO REASON. Don&amp;#039;t try to talk to me about games... I don&amp;#039;t have to defend me beliefs or opinions to ANYONE.   &amp;quot;Here&amp;#039;s something you didn&amp;#039;t know...Ron Paul is a war monger!&amp;quot;  Monger away!!! Who established I was against it that?? Again... ASSUMING something about me you have no clue about.   Here&amp;#039;s something you didn&amp;#039;t know.... You&amp;#039;re out of your league. (See... I can assume too) </description>

<description>Since your comment hasn&amp;#039;t shown up yet...  From: ForConstitution &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;d do well to vote for my mom. She&amp;#039;s has more Conservationism in her baby finger than does Ron Paul. My mom raised two God fearing daughters who grew up to serve the Lord. Can you say the same?&amp;quot;  Touting your mothers/your accomplishments and attributes as if somehow they make you/her &amp;quot;holier than thou&amp;quot;???    Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. - Proverbs 16:18  Keep feeding the fire...  </description>

<description>Actually... I wrote in your mother and voted for her. She&amp;#039;s good.    And who says these childish attacks aren&amp;#039;t fun....     Who did YOU vote for in 08? McCain? Obummber? Only because they could win..... aweee.... don&amp;#039;t have big enough cahounas to vote with a conscience?    Now look at me.... getting in the mud with the pigs playing silly little games. Shame on me. </description>

<description>&amp;quot;to give you potheads your dope.&amp;quot;  You&amp;#039;re another one of the &amp;quot;know it all&amp;#039;s&amp;quot; aren&amp;#039;t ya? Such a clever person. Keep it up... you&amp;#039;re only hurting yourself and you&amp;#039;re own arguments.   Not that I&amp;#039;m a &amp;quot;pothead&amp;quot; as you seem to know me for and accuse me of being with no grounds (Similar to how the O administration blankets Tea party as terrorists)... but if someone wants to be one.. SO WHAT. It&amp;#039;s their freaking life they are wasting. Not my business and honestly.... that opens up more doors from ME because they sit around and waste their life. (read... they don&amp;#039;t apply for the job I want) I call that a WIN for ME.   &amp;quot;I think you were hugged to much as a child by your deviant uncle. That&amp;#039;s why now you need to marry your homosexual lover to give your sin absolution.&amp;quot;  You just keep hurting your own cause. Tisk tisk tisk.  </description>

<description>&amp;quot;he decided that why should he stick to his promise? &amp;quot;      &amp;quot;WE&amp;quot; (yes... I&amp;#039;m in his district) SENT HIM BACK! Obviously &amp;quot;WE&amp;quot; saw something &amp;quot;WE&amp;quot; liked and &amp;quot;WE&amp;quot; reelected him. Are you to stupid to understand the process?      Define &amp;quot;Pork&amp;quot; please.. since you want to throw that out there. Adding spending for your district is a legitimate &amp;quot;process&amp;quot;... if the bill becomes TO HEAVY with so much unneeded &amp;quot;pork&amp;quot; and b.s. ... OF COURSE I&amp;#039;d want him to vote against it. But you wouldn&amp;#039;t understand that... it fly&amp;#039;s in the face of your preconceived notions.       Is it because the sun reflects so brightly off of the foil into your eyes that makes you so angry? Or were you not hugged enough as a child?  So many attacks in your last two statements when I attacked NO ONE in the process of my arguments. Shows your true colors. Keep it up... it&amp;#039;s only hurting yourself and adding fuel to the fire... </description>

<description>I absolutely LOVE this tired argument. &amp;quot;he&amp;#039;s been in congress for 30  years and got nothing done&amp;quot;.       When going AGAINST the flow... one can only EXPECT to get NO WHERE. We always hear &amp;quot;we need to get back to conservatism&amp;quot; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;We need to be based on principals&amp;quot;... then when someone with the nads to actually DO IT ... does it... we hear... &amp;quot;They aren&amp;#039;t getting anything done&amp;quot;.       Keep fooling yourselves into thinking that COMPROMISE is the ONLY way to accomplish anything and you&amp;#039;ll see your country COMPROMISED. When you finally understand that it takes STANDING UP to the status quo in order to CHANGE THE TIDE... and in that process of standing up you&amp;#039;re going to appear to accomplish nothing for a time... until the time arrives that those around you take notice of your standing and decide to STAND WITH YOU and the tide turns.      Ron Paul HAS lead the charge on standing on principals EVEN THOUGH it means never accomplishing anything legislatively. He HAS led the charge on Auditing the Federal Reserve to find out just where &amp;amp; what is going on with our monetary policy.... Which happens to be the single most powerful weapon against our nation.       When Jesus stood AGAINST the status quo of his time... he was crucified for it... When the founders stood AGAINST the status quo of their time... they were attacked for it... and now when a lone congressman stands AGAINST the status quo... he&amp;#039;s attacked for it.       Who&amp;#039;s side are you really on?? </description>

<title>Breitbart.tv : Bachmann on Possible Presidential Run: &#039;We&#039;re Very Encouraged&#039;</title>

<description>&amp;quot;I believe the God we conceived as human beings is not a valid option.&amp;quot;      Then....      &amp;quot;Is the Christian God possible? Sure.. &amp;quot;      That is YOUR CHOICE to make. Just as it&amp;#039;s THEIR CHOICE to make. Fair is fair... right?      Btw... Thanks for being honest and not falling off into a stupid flaming argument.    in the end... no matter what side you take in the argument... it&amp;#039;s up to the &amp;quot;individual&amp;quot; to come to grips with w/e reality THEY deem &amp;quot;true&amp;quot;... whether that is they believe there is a god... isn&amp;#039;t a god... is a blue elephant... is pixy dust or w/e. It&amp;#039;s the individuals choice.  Since we can&amp;#039;t prove one true over the other... no one can ever truly be &amp;quot;right&amp;quot;.  </description>

<description>&amp;quot;I doubt man made ideas can properly explain the existence of a deity&amp;quot;... ok... so I&amp;#039;ll ask again... since you DON&amp;#039;T KNOW... could a GOD be a possible way to explain the existence of what we see around us?   You can try to skirt the question... but it will remain. I wasn&amp;#039;t asking about the bible nor man made ideas that you cannot prove false or true... I asked if it was a possibility since according to YOUR OWN LOGIC and understanding... &amp;quot;you don&amp;#039;t know&amp;quot;.   Still eagerly awaiting your reply.  </description>

<description>Bit of flawed logic you have there. Allow me to elaborate. ;-)   In one post you put:  &amp;quot;They all believe in the man in the moon &amp;quot;  (as if to imply it&amp;#039;s a false understanding of the world around them)   then in the very next post you put: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m comfortable in saying &amp;quot;I Don&amp;#039;t Know&amp;quot;  (as if to say you&amp;#039;re unsure of your OWN understanding of the world around you)  If you &amp;quot;don&amp;#039;t know&amp;quot;... wouldn&amp;#039;t that also imply that among the various answers YOU DON&amp;#039;T KNOW... God being &amp;quot;real&amp;quot;... wait for it... wait for it... &amp;quot;COULD&amp;quot; be a possibility??   Eagerly awaiting your reply.   </description>

<title>Big Government : Ron Paul Wins CPAC Straw Poll Again, Romney 2nd</title>
<link>http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/02/12/ron-paul-wins-cpac-straw-poll-again-romney-2nd/#IDComment128130391</link>
<description>Wrong?? Really?   I believe you&amp;#039;ve proved me absolutely CORRECT on one so called &amp;quot;assumptions&amp;quot; and failed to make a valid argument for how I was &amp;quot;wrong&amp;quot; in the other so call &amp;quot;assumptions&amp;quot;.    I also noticed you went straight to name calling and vulgar innuendos which again, proves to me, that you can&amp;#039;t hold a serious discussion that hasn&amp;#039;t been fed to you by your choice flavor talking head regardless of what political side they pretend to be on.   Suggestions for you &amp;quot;FOOL&amp;quot;... before you open your piehole and try to talk garbage... you might want to stop and think to yourself.... &amp;quot;Is this person about to prove a point with my actions?&amp;quot;.... because I&amp;#039;ve just done that to you with YOUR actions.   You&amp;#039;ve shown how immature you and the likes of you are when you try to hold a &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; conversation that, as ya bud Glenn likes to put it... is &amp;quot;Outside the box&amp;quot;. If it doesn&amp;#039;t fit into your small narrative of &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m right no matter what&amp;quot; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;That couldn&amp;#039;t happen because this is America&amp;quot; then obviously it&amp;#039;s grounds for being harassed and ridiculed.   However, In doing so, you&amp;#039;re only pushing yourself into a corner  and denying what you know to be true. It&amp;#039;s amazing how over and over again the &amp;quot;so called&amp;quot; Conspiracy &amp;quot;nuts/freaks/weirdo&amp;#039;s/insert name here&amp;quot; only get proved over and over as correct.   Want to know why that is potty mouth? It&amp;#039;s because we stopped to &amp;quot;READ&amp;quot; what is coming out of the filth in D.C. and the think tanks those nimrods associate with.  You&amp;#039;re a dying breed and eventually you will be replaced by TRUE conservatism that doesn&amp;#039;t mind stopping the Federal Government from amassing more power to rule our entire livelihoods from cradle to grave.   You just keep on living the great life while I prepare to save your can from the fire. No need to thank the likes of me... I&amp;#039;m just a crazy person in the world.   Move along people.... nothing to see here.  </description>

<description>Would that be the same &amp;quot;sound science&amp;quot; that claims global... urrr...urmmm..uhhhh... I mean &amp;quot;climage change&amp;quot;?   &amp;quot;And guess what, I like the Glenn Beck show&amp;quot;  Well... haven&amp;#039;t you noticed the slow drift of Glenn Beck into the SAME &amp;quot;Conspiracy Theories&amp;quot;??? He is after all, talking about the &amp;quot;NWO&amp;quot; (New World Order) on a regular basis now. Gasp!!!! Alex Jones has been talking for years about it and what it&amp;#039;s mission is.   If I&amp;#039;m not mistaken.... Glenn Beck has also stated how leftist operate by &amp;quot;Isolating&amp;quot; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;Discrediting&amp;quot; rather than ADDRESSING THE ISSUES. \\  If you think the 9/11 wasn&amp;#039;t the trigger to put into motion all these things that have come about (DHS, PATRIOT ACT, MID EAST TURMOIL, ETC ETC ETC) and you can buy the idea from &amp;quot;sound science&amp;quot; that a plane INSTANTLY vaporized into the side of a tower... yet a plastic id card magically floats down untouched...all I can say is.... I have some carbon credits to sell ya. ;-)  </description>

<title>Big Government : &#039;Patriot Act&#039; Fight A Brewin&#039;</title>
<link>http://biggovernment.com/capitolconfidential/2011/02/10/patriot-act-fight-a-brewin/#IDComment127354909</link>
<description>Yes... let&amp;#039;s talk about the patriot act. Specifically.... section 802 and what implications it has on &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; Americans.   -------------------  SEC. 802. DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM.        (a) DOMESTIC TERRORISM DEFINED- Section 2331 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--              (1) in paragraph (1)(B)(iii), by striking `by assassination or kidnapping&amp;#039; and inserting `by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping&amp;#039;;              (2) in paragraph (3), by striking `and&amp;#039;;              (3) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting `; and&amp;#039;; and              (4) by adding at the end the following:              `(5) the term `domestic terrorism&amp;#039; means activities that--                    `(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;                    `(B) appear to be intended--                          `(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;                          `(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or                          `(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and                    `(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.&amp;#039;.        (b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT- Section 3077(1) of title 18, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:              `(1) `act of terrorism&amp;#039; means an act of domestic or international terrorism as defined in section 2331;&amp;#039;.  ------------  Now read that carefully and do a bit of &amp;quot;critical thinking&amp;quot; and what impacts that has on YOU. Think outside the box now... If a tyrannical government where to take hold.... what do you become if you stand up to it? wait for it... wait for it...... a DOMESTIC TERRORIST.   The Patriot Act was designed FOR the AMERICAN PEOPLE. It is the &amp;quot;tool&amp;quot; they will use to silence opposition to what they are doing.   Don&amp;#039;t believe me....  read again....    `(B) appear to be intended--                          `(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;                          `(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or  &amp;quot;APPEAR TO BE INTENDED TO....&amp;quot;  1. Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.   coerce = &amp;ndash;verb (used with object), -erced, -erc&amp;middot;ing. 1. to compel by force, intimidation, or authority, especially without regard for individual desire or volition: They coerced him into signing the document. 2. to bring about through the use of force or other forms of compulsion; exact: to coerce obedience. 3. to dominate or control, especially by exploiting fear, anxiety, etc.: The state is based on successfully coercing the individual.   Are you using &amp;quot;fear&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;coerce&amp;quot; a civilian population when you say they are taking your liberties away? Is it &amp;quot;fear&amp;quot; you&amp;#039;re using when you say the government is destroying our way of life?   2.   to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion;  So &amp;quot;when&amp;quot; a tyrannical government takes hold... just how will you stand against them without becoming a &amp;quot;Domestic Terrorist&amp;quot; as defined by the Patriot Act??   As we&amp;#039;ve seen over and over again.... they could care less what you think... they do what they want... at what point do the American people take a stand and in that stand... they, by definition, become &amp;quot;DOMESTIC TERRORISTS&amp;quot;.   This is what you call a &amp;quot;preemptive strike&amp;quot;. You&amp;#039;ve been neutered.   As you bicker over the searches etc etc etc.. you&amp;#039;ve missed the entire point of the patriot act... to give the government authority to label you a DOMESTIC TERRORIST for standing up to them.   Welcome to 1984.  </description>

<title>Big Government : Facebook or Facecrook? IPOs Are a Thing of the Past</title>
<link>http://biggovernment.com/snkapadia/2011/01/05/facebook-or-facecrook-ipos-are-a-thing-of-the-past/#IDComment119840075</link>
<description>I&amp;#039;m blown away by some of the comments and the references back to the &amp;quot;dot com bubble&amp;quot;. This however, is much MUCH different.         I&amp;#039;m a network administrator and also a website developer/administrator, I run a small website by comparison but it&amp;#039;s a micro snapshot of what FB and all these &amp;quot;social&amp;quot; sites do. I have my users sign up for an account so that they can use my service. When they sign up, I ask that they provide me with detailed information about themselves so that I have a &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; of it to database and use for later purposes within the site and so they can log in with the same credentials in the future.         Now... seeing the site from the end users view... Those clients can NOT see each others information nor can they know what service another user has requested from us. From the administrators view... I can see EVERYTHING. I can use that &amp;quot;INFORMATION&amp;quot; to build w/e application or data output that I want to. I can see what pages are being viewed, who uses the site most, when they are on, what they have done while on the site etc etc etc.        If my users were submitting comments for others to see (as people do on FB)... I would have to database that comment so that the next user down the road can see it when they load the page.        Chew on this.... If I wanted to... I COULD... write a query to search ALL comments by ALL users on throughout the ENTIRE DATABASE to show me what clients use the word &amp;quot;Constitution&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Right Wing&amp;quot; or w/e term I deem necessary.         Point being... these &amp;quot;SOCIAL&amp;quot; sites are a huge database of information on &amp;quot;END USERS&amp;quot;. The end user is WILLINGLY submitting data about THEMSELVES (and their habits, thoughts, beliefs etc etc etc) to whom?        Just because you set your &amp;quot;privacy&amp;quot; settings to only show YOUR friends w/e you want them to see doesn&amp;#039;t mean the admins don&amp;#039;t have access to it all. (and you have absolutely NO IDEA what those admins are doing with that data or how they output it on their side)        Feel like a guinea pig yet you social nuts? You&amp;#039;re adding yourself to a system and data-basing yourself for WHOM?????? Do you know how to predict the future?... you follow &amp;quot;trends&amp;quot;... You get ahead of the curve and the most efficient way to do that is to get a wide shot of a huge population of people and see which way they are trending PRIOR TO ANYONE ELSE GETTING OR SEEING THIS TREND. Enter &amp;quot;Social Networking&amp;quot;.         This is not a dot com bubble... this is a mechanism for accurately predicting trends and getting ahead of the curve. You&amp;#039;re keeping them in power because &amp;quot;KNOWLEDGE IS POWER&amp;quot; and since they are getting the information for &amp;quot;FREE&amp;quot; and well before it is apparent to the rest of us.... THEY WILL STAY IN POWER. You think all this information is not valuable??      I assure you it is extremely valuable. This is not a &amp;quot;fad&amp;quot; nor is it a &amp;quot;bubble&amp;quot;... this is a system designed to keep those people who are willing &amp;amp; able to afford to purchase this information in the &amp;quot;know&amp;quot;. They don&amp;#039;t have to spend their money on marketing etc... you&amp;#039;re doing it for them for FREE.       have you noticed yet how FB &amp;amp; Twitter are all over the web, in the phones, tied to businesses etc etc etc?  And you wonder why G.S.&amp;#039;s is investing in FB. You wonder why FB is worth 50b. You wonder why they are circumventing the rules. It&amp;#039;s the golden goose.  </description>

<title>Big Government : Alaska Libertarians to Sen. Murkowski: No Thank You!</title>

<description>Hilarious stuff you got there.  &amp;quot;You holier than thou political virgins decide to stay up in the rarefied air of theory and virtue, but that means you&amp;#039;re going to stay unelected. &amp;quot;  That&amp;#039;s because there are to many moronic people such as yourself who don&amp;#039;t mind selling themselves down the tubes just to gain temporary victories. Good job numbnuts... you&amp;#039;ve proven my point very well with that post.   If compromising and choosing the &amp;quot;winner&amp;quot; vs. someone with values and morals works so well... why are we in this mess? You gonna be one of the ones to say something so stupid as &amp;quot;this is all Obama&amp;#039;s fault&amp;quot;? Like all these problems just sprang up on his first day... come on. I don&amp;#039;t even like the guy and would love for him to meet my wrath... but I&amp;#039;ll be honest enough to admit that the problem ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS that we are compromising our VALUES for a &amp;quot;WIN&amp;quot;.   Can you be just as honest or is your head still so far up your tail that you can smell the crap stuck between your teeth?   Love this quote... shows the moronic side so well...  &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re going to have to get dirty if you want to govern.&amp;quot;  Crap in... Crap out. You&amp;#039;re the reason we are in this mess.  </description>

<description>That is PRECISELY the problem. Voting for anyone who &amp;quot;CAN WIN&amp;quot; vs. someone with &amp;quot;VALUES AND MORALS&amp;quot; is the entire reason we are in this mess.   According to your logic and the logic of a lot of other supposed &amp;quot;right thinking americans&amp;quot;... we should vote for the person who can win at the expense of VALUES AND MORALS. WTF is that crap!?!?!? You vote for the person who aligns CLOSEST with your values... if they don&amp;#039;t have a shot in hell... well....so be it. YOU CAN however, rest easy at night KNOWING you did the right thing while most everyone else kept playing the game.   Keep kicking the ball down the road... the &amp;quot;easy&amp;quot; thing is not always the &amp;quot;RIGHT&amp;quot; thing and anything worth having will come with it&amp;#039;s price. (i.e. being the lone person standing up to the flood of moronic voters who keep voting for someone because they can win)  Bravo for the Libertarian party doing the right thing and sticking to their guns and shame on you for continuing the problem because your side will win.  </description>
