You never know what you might find. A myth revealed, a history fact set straight, a joke to laugh at, a poem to awe at or even plain speaking of current events. One thing for sure it will be quite a ride.

PALPUBLICANS SAY GOD IS BIAS




I never cease to be amazed at palpublicans and their strange egoistic attitudes. Palpublicans go as far as to speak for God, letting all know that God only blesses America & It's allies.

Whenever a palpublican is cornered in a debate with facts, they resort to name calling and 'God-speaking', never failing to say God Bless US or America is blessed by God.

I'm confused, isn't God to be the father of all mankind and he loves all of mankind equally? Isn't the Christian version of God a loving, compassionate, fair and all forgiving God? Now if this is true, doesn't logic tell us God blesses all of mankind, no matter what region of the world they live in?

Well don't trying telling any of that to peppermint1172, for God speaks to and through her as she has informed us by this statement:



peppermint1172: America is the greatest Nation on all the Eart besides Israel we are blessed by God

DangerRus: Do you really think GOD endorses political unions Peppermint?



DangerRus, kudos to you for speaking up and asking that very important question. Although I will admit I fear the answer, if it is yes then insanity might be an issue for peppermint, if it's no then it confirms that palpublicans lie and attempt to control people through their faith.

Maybe if I try logic geared towards the religious palpublicans that they swear by; the bible, and I graciously turn to the Gospels; particularly to the parable of the rich man and his servants, I can get the palpublicans to listen. The parable of the rich man and his servants in essence says--to those who are given much, much is expected.

No one can deny that we; Americans, have been given much--arguably more than any nation in the world's history--but what are we doing with our abundant resources? We squander them on war and preparations for war even as those preparations destroy our environment. We spend $18 billion a year caring for nuclear warheads we house--enough warheads that we could target every country on earth with 10 warheads. We have the equivalent stockpile of 155,000 Hiroshima-sized bombs, and Mr. Bush wants more. How could an all loving God bless a country that delights in war and apathy and turn his back on all other countries?

This religious 'ideologic' of palpublicans, does NOT make sense and in fact goes against the principal of Christianity and it's benign God, as I understand it.

I feel as though I need to close this post with some positive words of Christians, for not all Christians feel they are the only loved children of God and I wouldn't want to leave the impression all Christians are like palpublicans.

Oh, oh I got it, this should work:
"It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens. - "Baha'u'llah,
oopps did an 19th century Persian say that?

IT'S REALLY HAPPENING

It's finally happening, the world as we know it will soon cease to be. Yes, you heard me right after all the lies and broken promises of the last 7 1/2 years, even the hardest core neocons are willing to think and make their votes be something more than clannish. Even tommyjohnson44 is seeing the light.






tommyjohnson44: zen at this point i will take obama



Did tommy actually say this, of course he did. The question you should be asking yourself is 'How did tommy mean this'.

This is a prime example of how the republican party and the mass media take a partial sentence, repeat it out of content and get the public in an outrage.

Now many that go to SI rooms and know tommy more than likely knew if tommy said such a thing he was being facetious, but someone that doesn't know tommy and his views on paltalk would think that tommy is 'bitter and frustrated' enough to vote outside his party for Obama. You know like the mass media does.

This tactic has been used on the America people since at least 1928 when Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud, and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays studied these same ideas in order to learn how to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. And it has been going on ever since in the America's media propaganda.

When it comes to a discussion of what's going on in the world, the honest individual must admit that he has almost no idea. When was the last time George Bush invited you into the Green Room for a private chat with Cheney and Ashcroft about the future of big oil? When did Bill Gates last invite you up to his Redmond digs for a wine and cheese brainstorming session about the next Big Thing? Or when did your neighbor who lives three houses away from you call you up to tell you about the unfulfilled plans of his father who just found out he's dying of cancer? How many life stories of the world's six billion people do you know anything about? This is to say nothing of fluid events which are coming in and out of existence every day between the nations of the world. What do you really know about what is really going on?

Most only know what they have been told by the candidate, mass media, their political party or family & friends. Sound-bites, edited and omission to place the spin that is desired.

So for now on you can call me the Faux Noise of Paltalk, for I will do what the politicians and mass media has been doing for years and use snippets, partials and editing to hopefully teach the ignorant; such as tommyboy, how easily it is for ones words to be manipulated, misrepresented, distorted and then be fabricated, spinned, or rendered to have a totally different meaning than was intended.

So tommy let me be the first one to welcome you to the dark-side.

HILLARY, A TRUE PATRIOT OR A POWER HUNGRY ELITIST

Is this a legit question to ask, I bet many of you are asking or rolling your eyes thinking here we go again another neo-con dissing the Clintons, sorry I'm a liberal.

I know there has been much talk in the past about the Clinton's criminal behavior and nothing has ever came from it. Myself, I thought through-out the years it was just a bunch of BS for the republicans to spin to 'control' the Clinton's rise. Yet, this is different, our country cannot handle another 4 years of lies and power-tripping leaders. I hope that you will watch this video, goodness only knows how much Hillary doesn't want you to.



First I want to thank Isabellah-1 for telling me about this video and being courageous enough to speak about it out loud, for lately it seems if you are a woman in the US that isn't for Hillary, you are a traitor to your gender(well won't be the first time those with open minds and intelligence get called that lol).

What I want to talk about is who Hillary's largest donor was in 2000 (Peter Paul) and how she had misspoke about who it was (a felony, according to the Justice Department).

Hillary’s seven years of misspeaking was defined to be a felony as the law was applied to Hillary’s finance director, according to DOJ Prosecutor Dan Schwaber. He said to the jury in May, 2005 at the trial of Hillary’s finance director David Rosen, that it was a crime “to deny the public’s right to know that Peter Paul personally gave more than $1.2 million to Hillary’s national campaign”.

Yet, both the government and the media both know Hillary has personally denied that right since August 2000 through personal statements published in the Washington Post and official statements under oath in Paul v Clinton and to investigators with the DOJ and FEC.

Sen. Clinton's actions are in violation of the following U.S. Statutes:

2 U.S.C. Sec 441a (a)(7)(B)(I) provides:

Expenditures made by any person in cooperation, consultation, or concert, with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, his authorized political committees, or their agents, shall be considered to be a contribution to such candidate. (Therefore Peter Paul's expenditures cannot be deemed to be a "soft money" contribution)

(f) No candidate shall knowingly accept any contribution in violation of the provisions of this section...

(a)(1)(A) No person shall make contributions... to any candidate with respect to any election for Federal office which, in the aggregate, exceed $2,000.

2 U.S.C. Sec 437g(d)(1)(A)(I) provides:

Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation of any provision of this act which involves the making, receiving, or reporting of any contribution, donation, or expenditure (I) aggregating $25,000 or more during a calendar year shall be fined under Title 18, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both...



So forgetting about Hillary's voting record (bankruptcy bill, Iraq war, Iran), her 'borrowing' of Reagan's joke and her 'misstatements' about Bosnia, Hillary is proving herself to be an elitist and out of touch with the America people. I say this because only an elitist could avoid federal prosecution and think themselves above the law and more importantly think themselves above the US Constitution.

So before you rah rah for Hillary remember how the last 7 1/2 years have been with a leader that has thought exactly like Hillary, that he too is above the law and the US Constitution

Facts about Fair Tax Plan

The FairTax plan is devised to be revenue-neutral for the first year of operation. It will raise the same amount of revenue as is raised by current law. After the first year, revenue is expected to rise because of the growth generated by this plan. At that time the American people, Congress, and the President will have to decide whether to lower the tax rate or to spend the additional revenue.


When it comes to the IRS, whatever replaces the IRS under the Fair Tax would not resemble one another much at all. Any tax collection scheme must necessarily have collectors who collect the tax, and it will almost necessarily have auditors to determine who didn't pay the amount levied against him. The only alternative is to have NO taxation whatsoever, which would either rely on voluntary funding of government, or no government. The Fair Tax is designed to simplify the tax code, increase compliance, and make the government more efficient at collecting taxes. It is not about reducing the overall tax burden one cent. First, greater efficiency in tax collection implies lower costs. Therefore, almost the entire budget of the IRS could be reallocated to other areas or returned to the People.

Although the Fair Tax Plan would eliminate Social Security and Medicare taxes, it would not eliminate the programs. The Fair Tax will ensure funding of Social Security and Medicare, under the Fair Tax, Social Security will operate exactly as it does today, except that its funds will come from the Fair Tax. And, research shows that consumption is a more stable revenue source than income.


With Fair Tax a single rate, single-stage tax will be applied to the sale of all new consumer goods and services at the final point of consumption. This will result in 23% of a purchase being represented by tax. you will keep 100% of your paycheck-there will be no more income, capital gains, self-employment, gift or corporate taxes. Under the Fair Tax, no American will pay taxes on necessities., this leads us to prebate.


With the prebate it functions the same as the standard deduction and personal exemptions do under the current income tax. The prebate is not a “handout”. It is the refund of taxes paid (albeit, in advance). The Fair Tax has no exemptions so the prebate funds the tax on spending up to the poverty up front. Everyone believes that life’s necessities should not be taxed. The prebate is a more efficient method of not taxing necessities than having complicated rules about what constitutes a necessity. The prebate makes the Fair Tax a progressive tax because it untaxes the poor. While everyone pays the same tax at the retail counter, when you take into account the prebate, the effective tax rate is 0% for those at the poverty level ($26,400 for a two adult/two children family), 11.5% for the same family at twice the poverty level ($52,800), and 17.3% for the same family at four times the poverty level ($105,600). Only legal residents of the United States can qualify for the prebate; illegal immigrants cannot, but they will not be exempt from paying taxes under the Fair Tax. The gross revenue raised by the Fair Tax would supposedly remain neutral, however, each taxpayer would see his percentage reduced because of the addition of new taxpayers such as prostitutes, drug dealers, those who work 'under the table' and the illegal aliens who work with fraudulent or non-existent identities. Currently these people do not pay federal taxes because there is no record of their incomes.

Ok I have went on enough and even though I have tried to keep to only the facts I'm sure I have injected my personal thoughts in this matter so I will try to do a quick review of most points of the Fair Tax:

A single rate, single-stage tax will be applied to the sale of all new consumer goods and services at the final point of consumption. This will result in 23% of a purchase being represented by tax. you will keep 100% of your paycheck-there will be no more income, capital gains, self-employment, gift or corporate taxes. Under the FairTax, no American will pay taxes on necessities.

The Fair Tax empowers those with low incomes. Under the Fair Tax plan, no American will pay taxes on necessities. Every household will receive a rebate that is equal to the Fair Tax paid on essential goods and services, and wage earners will keep 100% of their paycheck.

Middle-income earners will benefit greatly under the Fair Tax. They will receive a rebate based on household size, just as will those in all other income brackets.

The wealthy will get a rebate based on household size, just as those in other income brackets will

It lets every worker keep their entire pay check-no payroll or income taxes

It allows those at/below the poverty level to have zero or negative taxes

It lets retirees keep their full pension or Social Security checks-untaxed

It lets everyone keep their capital gains and investment income-untaxed

It eliminates gift and inheritance taxes

It taxes spending of gifted and inherited wealth more fairly

It has a lower cost of enforcement

It makes the federal tax rate very visible, and therefore, politically risky to increase

It ends all personal and corporate income tax filings

It frees the $250 Billion tax accounting/law industry for more productive employment

It eliminates tax loopholes-no filings, no exemptions, no loopholes

The Fair Tax will allow people to make charitable contributions out of pre-tax dollars.


The Fair Tax will dramatically reduce the costs of goods and services by as much as 20 to 30%. All goods and services already contain the embedded costs of the current tax system in their prices. When these embedded taxes are removed, prices will come down.

The Fair Tax will ensure funding of Social Security and Medicare.

Retail businesses will collect the tax from the consumer-45 states already have a sales tax system, and the Fair Tax will simply be an additional line on the current sales tax reporting form. In rare cases, businesses that produce products or services that are not currently taxed under state sales tax codes will have to begin collecting the Fair Tax for the first time

.
The focus of the Fair Tax concept should not be its supporters, but the idea itself, and as a side point, the Fair Tax did NOT begin as a project of the Church of Scientology at a time when it was seeking tax-exempt status.

Hope I did semi-justice to explaining Fair Tax Plan.
