Choices matter in avoiding poverty

• Here's the flaw with that whole notion of "choices".

  According to the dogma of liberalism, a.k.a. psychology, there are no choices. There is only the illusion of free will. Everything we do, every minute of every day is the result of external influences in our past - the muddleheaded parents teaching kids the wrong things, the toys you're given when you're little (remember the dolls and GIJoes arguments of the feminists?), the books you read, NASCAR races, etc. So in reality, anyone who is poor is poor not because of any choices, but because of where they grew up, the teachers they had, racism, sexism, Rush Limbaugh, etc.

  And speaking of Rush Limbaugh, this theory apparently does not apply to him and his ilk - they are simply pure evil. No excuses. Cops too (anyone recall a lib saying, when a cop shoots some perp, "well we must understand the circumstances of his childhood, his strict father, yada yada yada"? I didn't think so).

  And conversely, the libs social engineers are never the result of all these external stimuli (they are pure Good). Just for laughs, next time you're arguing with some lib, just say "what went wrong in your childhood that caused you to become a nosy busybody that can't leave people alone?" Then watch them hang question marks (ref: in comic books, to show that someone is dumbfounded and speechless, a couple of big question marks are drawn above the head). If they get the least bit of grasp of what you're sayng, that will really shake up some paradigms.

  (Though I realize that putting the words "lib" and "grasp" together is necessarily a bit of a stretch)

• WE are all gonna be living in poverty if the messiah gets re-elected.

  • Ron Paul 2012!

    • You are such an eloquent spokesperson for Ron Paul, john. After reading your broken record of "corporate greed" I am sure Mr. Paul would consider you for a high ranking position in the administration he would be putting together. That is exactly why I say a thankful prayer to my God and Creator each night - that both you and Ron Paul have so little power over anything that effects my daily life. Hang in there sunshine - you will return to the earth one day, and once again, become the fertilizer that you so richly deserve.

      • Cool, john as Scot's TurfBuilder™.

        • TURD builder.

    • You do realize that isn't happening, right? But by all means come back on 2016 to prattle on about CORPORATE GREEEEEEEED! Until then, why don't you just give it a reat?

      • He can't give it a rest, if he stops spamming evil corporations he won't get paid by the Soros corp.

        • He can't be getting paid that much. He mentioned in another thread he got food stamps. Unless of course......food stamp greed.

        • Yes, and it only took his mommy 6 months to teach him that you don't actually EAT the food stamps.

          But he DOES still believe the "special school" he rode the short bus to was actually a collage. But what can you expect from some one who failed in the special Olympics ?

        • "you don't actually eat the food stamp" LMAO!

        • How do you starve a liberal like John?
          Hide the food stamps under his work boots!

        • Can't you folks just ignore john?

          He is just messing with you. His great message is "corporate greed".

          My answer to Corporate greed is this;
          We need policies that would reintergrate the money that we have over seas back into this country, but with out hurting our economic base, as well as our Future Economic interests. <~~~~ a root canal with out any anesthesia would be easier then implimenting such a plan.

        • poppajoe49; Clinton tried that in latin america, and the results have been a disaster to this country.

          Not to mention all of the democrats games in that hemisphere. It's a nightmare.

          To make a very long story short "very long" in 2004 I told our own group that I was going to go off on illegal immigration, and not because we needed it, but because of the National Security implications of such a program both Internally and Externally.

          The 9/11 commission report in the way it was constructed has given all of you a false preception of what lead to 9/11 in the first place.

          To state that there was no politics in intel? ROFLMAO

          I can post in here in ways that there is no way in hell that you can google it.

          Even Experts need Experts. All of it is cumulative.

        • We could start by cutting off all foreign aid.

        • He's got work boots? Must have been a gift from an overly optimistic parent.

        • I'll bet his food stamps would be more than sufficient to pay for the victory banquet at RP headquarters.

      • *rest

• Hell, I was born with nothing. I still have most of it.
  Another Obumma term and I can DOUBLE it.

  • I'm right there with ya, ooddz
