George Lakoff is one of the best Cognitive Scientists out there. He has been trying to explain how the right manages so much support in the US even when their ideas are completely absurd. I think he does a good job based on the latest evidence in cognitive sciences. George Lakoff: How Right-Wingers Scam People Into Buying Their Toxic Philosophy Here is what progressives can learn from right-wing messaging. http://www.alternet.org/books/156057/george_lakoff%3A_how_right-wingers_scam_people_into_buying_their_toxic_philosophy_/kuraimen
Oh man. William McKinley was assassinated by progressives that were afraid that he was going to win his reelection after winning the Spanish-American War, so they killed him. They did it so he wouldn't stall their plans of putting a progressive (Theodore Roosevelt) in office. Roosevelt liberated Panama from Columbia, in order for the US to control the canal. Wilson enacted the Federal Reserve Bank. Hey guess which presidents won the Nobel Peace Prize? Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Barack Obama, all progressives. No propaganda there. You want things to move forward? Put a progressive in office.

Hell no. We are told we can control the climate of Earth. How are we weak when we can accomplish this? Wow! That is what I think after reading past the second sentence.

[QUOTE="outworld222"][QUOTE="kraychik"][QUOTE="outworld222"] Indeed. There should be a thanks button on these forums. Heh.

Maybe America will rebuild her backbone once she hits rock bottom.

I live here in California and I was astonished when I went for a drive yesterday. (I've been driving since the 90s). All of a sudden, I realize the roads are all uneven, full of problems, the freeways are getting older etc. Its already happening friend. Except I don't think we need to hit rock bottom to get out of it. Although Its very hard to see how we can get out of Trillions of dollars worth of debt.

We're not going to hit the bottom because we are going to change midstream. All of these people saying capitalism doesn't work, the constitution is too old, these people are our new leaders. "Accept it," says the media.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]Oh f*ck this why did I even bother.sonicare
Typical leftist cop-out

You're both filthy communists or was it socialists? I can't remember. You marxist swine have me confused.

All of us are talking about nothing. To sum up, Chessmaster misread Kraychik and tried to show him what he supposedly said. This is issue is not worth four comments.

Not really. We spend the entire primary season seing rich millionaires and billionaires constantly sending cash to the candidates. It's still happening on both sides.

I would rather donate my money to a real charity (you know, one that actually helps people) than a political campaign.

I agree 100%. Jus timagine what the estimated 2 billion used this election could do in the hands of charities. A lot of people could be fed and housed.

But how would people know who to vote for? In a current thread people are answering which TV show is better to get addicted to. TV is very important to them. More than using their time watching TV to find how and where they can volunteer.

Why do you want to be addicted to something? And why is everyone assisting him? This is crazy. Wasting time is bad.

Scheduled celebrations are bankrupting this country. People shouldn't spend money they don't have.

My definition on them is that they're just words. But to your question the majority finds words offensive. An example is from the, "That's so gay campaign.

[QUOTE="ShampooMctavish"]

I feel that after the sham that was the Iraq War (business opportunity), a large portion of the American people will think twice about blindly following or sending their children off to War based on the Presidents word.

I hope to God this is the last we have seen of War... but if it comes I see the U.S bringing back the draft out of nessessity.

Your thoughts?

ShampooMctavish

What the hell are you smoking? How was the Iraq wae a business opportunity? WE GOT NO OIL. I think we should have taken their oil for the cost of building their country (not rebuilding dont get it confused)

Just because you can't see the opportunity or the fact that it was a half failed opportunity does not take away from the fact that it was an attempted business opportunity.

... and what is all this "WE" talk. I have now seen 3 of you use the word "WE". There is no WE. There is the common man and then there is the Government. Did you think you would be getting profit cheques from the oil?

Wake up people... Jesus.

You're the one in an illusion. We elect the government.

No they won't.

In this economy EVERYONE is trying to join the military.

So you admit the economic situation is a Republican strategy to increase enlistment!? Seriously though I think it's going to be harder for the US to get international allies but when it comes to recruits the culture of the US ensures that it will continue to be quite easy to fill the ranks.

Why you say only one side when both sides voted for a war against terrorists?
