But right now, the Republican party as a whole in combination with the Religous Right is the closest and primary threat to me via real world proximity and the fact that they're on the top of heap political power wise. Ergo, they're target number 1. Remember, I hated Clintons guts too... fuckin NAFTA... -Frem
Quote: "The problem with the bulbs is that they'll break before they get to the landfill. They'll break in containers, or they'll break in a dumpster or they'll break in the trucks. Workers may be exposed to very high levels of mercury when that happens," says John Skinner, executive director of the Solid Waste Association of North America, the trade group for the people who handle trash and recycling. Skinner says when bulbs break near homes, they can contaminate the soil. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and it's especially dangerous for children and fetuses. Most exposure to mercury comes from eating fish contaminated with mercury,

Quote:Originally posted by Hero: Quote:Originally posted by Jongsstraw: I love how these Republicans got so brave AFTER Nancy Pelosi and gang left. What a bunch of little twerps and gutless jamokes. Prior to the ending of the session the House was operating under the standard House rules...in other words the debate was strictly controlled by Pelosi. It was not until Pelosi adjourned the House and left that the Republicans could give voice to their side of the debate. I note for the record that with over 70% of the country favoring the Republican position many Democrats were starting to show signs of defecting. This led Pelosi to end the session several days early rather then risk a vote on this issue. Thats the finest Democratic tradition. Not voting because they might lose (remember the Judges).H

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Last I checked, the Religious Right, a mere subset of the Republicans, weren't in power in either the House OR the Senate, so I fail to see how the GOP is " on the top of the (sic) heap, political power wise " . I'll grant you the presence of over bearing religious power interfering w/ our lives...here in GA, I can't buy beer on Sunday, unless I do so at a bar which serves food. It's not enough that we have to wait until noon, but we are FORBIDDEN to buy beer at ALL in the grocery or liquor store on Sunday. That's reserved for God, ya know.
Quote:But even w/ that, I think you're overlooking the dangers the Left poses w/ their 'carbon credits ' talk and the hysteria being driven w/ global warming. We're gonna be forced to used " energy saving " fluorescent light bulbs, which are chock full of mercury. Break one of those and you're required to call for a HAZ MAT team come to your home or business and sterilize the entire area. That's no joke, either!

Quote: 2. Actually they wanted Tea, but not at British Cartel prices...
Quote: 3. NeoCons don't want alliances, they want domination, and so did the Federalists.
Quote: 4. Oh really, you DO know Lincoln tried to introduce an amendment to Constitutionally protect slavery, right ? http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo104.html
Quote: 5. Oh yeah ? Morrill Tarriff anyone ? and WHAT party was Morrill ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrill_Tariff
Quote: 6. Untrue, George Washington, proud possessor of both, presided over the original Constitutional Convention.
Quote: 7. And the Federalists, every bit as fond of funding the Mil-Industry Complex, bought a bunch of unnecessary Frigates for coastal defense.
Quote: 8. They had a nutter from France named Ben.
Quote: 9. I highly doubt that, since he despised Nationalist Banking, HATED corporatism, considered stacking the bench a grave sin against our nation, and considered dissent and occasional revolts downright patriotic.
Quote: 10. But love debts as much as Adams and Hamilton, which drive us into cycles of ruin - postponing the payback via deficits does not eliminate it.
Quote: 11. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Quote: - you assholes have had a downright lock on the mainstream press since Adams, and it goes right down the line to Hearst, Sinclair and Murdoch/Ailes.
Quote: 12. Excuse me, but Shrub is in fact, a New Englander, fake cowboy attitude and accent aside.
Quote: 13. But not undeclared quasi wars in third world countries for the benefit of corporations, how is this better ?
Quote: 14. BULLSHIT, Adams did it, Lincoln was downright fond of the practice. (I will say in your defense that Wilson did it too, the prick.)
Quote: 15. That does not exactly count in your favor.
Quote: 16. Maybe not technically, but they WERE interested, as the first balloon flight in America was launched in Philadelphia on January 9, 1793.
Quote: 17. Committees of correspondence WERE the internet back then.
Quote: 18. Alexander Hamilton (I STILL think Burr did us all a favor, mind you)
Quote: 19. Oh and the Federalists weren't greedy landgrabbers themselves ?
Quote: 20. No, they just spawned his idiotic trickle-down legacy, better termed "make US rich and maybe we'll share.."
