Give $40,000 to Obama and all is fine. Give $2,000 to Romney and the IRS is all over your ass.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

That statement is just so beyond insane as a statement, much less as a theory...

Really sad to see you going so off the wall, Jong; I'd actually like to enter some of your "discussions", if we could call them that, but they are just so rabid and so out in Crazy Land, it's just not possible.

ETA: Where do you GET these "sources"??? I glanced through this one...

"Obama Surrenders Just As Islamic Jihad Intensifies"
"Trashy Movie Glorifies An 'Assault On Wall Street'"
"Individuals May Get Skinny To Avoid ObamaCare Mandate"
"Hacking A Soldier To Death In Name Of Peaceful Islam"

all I can say is, 'wow'...

...you make me sad.

Jongs, ignore Niki. She's too far bat guano crazy, nothing that makes Obama look bad, no matter how true, how documented, how backed up w/ facts and evidence, will ever convince her of the thuggish nature of this worthless , tyrannical admin.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

This perfectly explains why y'all haven't bothered posting anything true, documented, or backed up by facts and evidence in the past few years. It all makes so much sense now!

C'mon, Mike. Tell us about the fake emails once more. I got the three Pinocchios ready to go...again.

Well, you're a dick. There's years and years of fff.net evidence to support that fact.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

"Well, you're a dick. There's years and years of fff.net evidence to support that fact."

None of which you can actually cite ... proving once again, you don't know the difference between opinion, and fact. So settle even deeper into you soft comfy delusions like a good little boy.

ENJOY YOUR NEXT FOUR YEARS!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - HERE'S LAUGHING AT YOU KID!

"Really sad to see you going so off the wall, Jong ..." well, my opinion - he's put so much time and effort ranting so much crazy and burning so many bridges he's not going to be able disown it to come back as a normal person. It was his choice freely made, and now he's going to have to live with it.

It's going the way it went with little rappy years ago. There's something about being hyper-partisan that seems to be a positive feedback loop - getting a little crazy cuts you off from rationality which makes you even more crazy, and so on.

Cites?

Or have you just been reduced to name-calling because your idiotic stances won't stand up to any kind of scrutiny?

Everything overseas now first it was Japan, Italy and Taiwan then Germans, British and Scottish and French for a time made a comeback with products, South Korea, now its China, Indonesia, Mexico. Long gone are the days when you could depend on a bass, or keyboard or penny whistle or drum or banjo or Audio Mixing console a guitar company to have product 'Made in the USA'

I'm sure this had everything to do with their entire scam of a business model having the curtain ripped clean away once the internet became prominent.

I remember back when I was around 20 and bought my first guitar. I didn't have any band friends, and the closest thing I would have had was 2 friends who played trumpet in the band.

I went to Guitar Center on the exact right day at the exact right time because I bumped into a sales man who was a fellow Wrestler, an underclassman 2 years my junior, at my high school who I hadn't seen in a few years.

Without asking me any questions he said he was going to take care of me. Hell... I still might have got scammed, but I walked out of there paying only about 40%-45% of the sticker price on a starter Ibanez electric, a small amp, a bag and a few other basics. That was before I'd learned some good lessons about scams too, so it wouldn't have surprised future me if I spent at least 80% of the sticker price that day if I didn't bump into him. I'm sure that's part of their regular spiel... Make you feel special like they're doing this deal just for you because "you seem like cool guy".

Once the internet became prominent, I don't even understand how they could continue making money that way. I'm actually surprised they even exist in 2025 and didn't go the way of Circuit City years ago.
