The Obama administration plans to suspend or cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan, amid concerns over whether that money is being well spent in the fight against militant groups inside the country's borders.

I was thinking you'd give Beck or Rush a run for their money.

O'Reilly has his "pinheads and Patriots", think I could get away with "azzholes and Americans" ?

Hell yes! Some of the language I hear on one of our local stations is as bad or worse than what I at my real job. I wasn't thinking in terms of language though. I was thinking in terms of ideas.

I can't understand why no real politician grasps the ideas I present here.
Most of them are fairly simple. Read back through history, it's all happened before, wars, economics, immigration, none of its "new". Some countries tried the wrong answer and failed, some tried other things and got it right.
Why do our politicians ALWAYS pick the wrong answer ?
If it was stupidity the law of averages says they would have to get it right once in a while. Hell, the bread even falls butter side up some times.

Greed.

Power Lust.

A feeling of invincibility.

Screw that Path, barely forty percent bother to vote in off year elections and a darn sight fewer in odd year state races. Forget asking folks to shed or spill blood, I'd be happy to see more get off the couch and take half an hour to vote. 2008 was the first year I had to wait more than a few minutes on line to vote, and that's just sad.

Yet another demonstration of how little you truly understand! As that commie cow Emma Goldman is reputed to have said, if things could be changed through voting, they'd outlaw voting! And yes, I know she labelled herself as an anarchist, but I liked the alliteration of commie cow. So sue me! 

Think 3% FQ, therein lies the hope of this country. Not in the masses of sheeple, but the 3% who (a) give a damn, and (b) are willing to water that tree either way.

+10, We have talked ourselves hoarse on the "soap box", but the socialists over come that by telling the sheep what they want to hear regardless of truth or sense.
The current "President" proves that the majority of voters are to stupid to get the job done at the ballot box.
That leave the cartridge box as the only viable means of saving our society.
