Burning Car in Parking Lot at Work


I saw this woman come in and her car was smoking. Another woman walked over and was calling for help. I watched for a moment then walked into the building. I didn't think it was going to go up like a Roman candle or I would have stayed and watched!

Things only a Republican could believe.....

When did Republicans (Conservatards), go Batshit Insane?


From: Kelmanza


It came with the so-called 'Reagen Revolution' and then continued to accellerate during the early 90's with the 'Geingrich Revolution;' though you all likely experienced its fruition under the George W. Bush's presidency and campaigns. After the election of JFK and the civil Rights movement; with LBJ singing the civil rights bill and 'kissing the south goodbye' for the Democratic Party, Libertarian leaning Barry Goldwater lost the election for the republicans but turned the south red for the first time in a century. it hasn't really turned back.
Watergate forced the republicans to 'rebrand;' and under reagen they employed cutting edge PR techniques and treated the presidency like a product. The actual policy was less important than its appearence; it was style over substance. Even Iran-Contra couldn't tarnish Reagen. In the age of mass media, the republican party found a way to make selfishness sheik and thoughtlessness a source of pride.
The Karl Roves of the world were hard at work thought he late 80's and 1990's, catalyzing fringe social conservative movements (like the pro-lifers) and making fearful traditionalists angrier and more fearful of this 'other' who continues to encroach on their way of life.
the bush presidency was the crowning achievement of this movement; a president who, outwardly at least, appeared stupid and anti-intellectual. someone who claimed to speak with God. Reagen was ambivalent about religious causes, bush was not. gone was anything resembling the goldwater republican of the 1960's. ideology was gone, all that was left was backlash. its not important to discuss what conservatives think, it is only important to discuss the threats we are supposedly facing and how leaders are making the fastest, safest decisions possible that require very little thought and a great deal of trust in their abilities to protect us from 'the other.' then in 2008, 'the other' was elected president. since then, conservatives have gone batshit insane.

I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL

this morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issed by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the department of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

Edit: While I appreciate the upvotes for this, because lets face it, this is amazing, I wa....

~Corporate Shake Up~

Corporate Shake Up

If you've ever worked for a boss that reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this!

Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy just standing around and leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, "I make $400 a week. Why?"The CEO told him, "Wait right here."

He then walked back to his office, came back in two minutes and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back.
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goofball did here?"

From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

Christian Nation my Ass!

World's Columbian Exposition: Ferris Wheel, Ch...Image by Brooklyn Museum via Flickr


This is merely a personal opinion and of my own circumstance. I understand there are plenty of worldwide citizens who see US citizenship, or of any western nation, as a path to a free life. I sincerely hope they get what they wish.

I am not trying to criticize the US, nor your people, just pointing out differences.
I am a Brit living in the states. My wife is US born, who moved over to the UK with me for about 5 years, got her dual-UK citizenship, and we then moved to the US. I have been here long enough to apply, but really not sure if I should. Also, deciding whether we stay here or go back to the UK some time in the future.

1) The US doesn't officially recognise dual citizenship and I have to renounce my UK status to become naturalised here. I'm not comfortable with this. The reverse is not true.
2) US citizens have a worldwide tax policy. No matter where you live and work, you owe the US taxes. There are limited exceptions, but you still have to file a tax return and could, in some cases, get taxed twice. The UK does not have this. When you live abroad, you tell them, and you no longer pay taxes there. As only an alien (yes, this is the official US word for us) when I leave the US, I would no longer have to pay taxes.
3) Healthcare. As a UK citizen I can get free, unconditional healthcare. Now, obviously, I am not giving up my UK citizenship - but I currently live here. I am astounded by the healthcare costs we have to pay. In the UK healthcare is free (with the exception that prescriptions for the working do cost $15 - I'm out of touch). I am seriously frightened that I might get ill, and get a huge copay bill or even lose my insurance. I hope I will still be able to get on a plane.
Everyone is entitled to healthcare in the UK. Free healthcare. Even those who couldn't have afforded it. The fact that here in the US 50 million people do not have access to a doctor is incredible. Christian nation my ass.
4) Religion. I don't do god, yet here it is like being a 2nd class citizen. Belief is the norm, and it's not just social. If a senator has to mention god as an argument in a speech, religion has infiltrated politics. Life for me in the UK was pretty much a god-free zone.
5) UK has free bus passes for the retired. :) .. maybe you do here, I don't know...it's is a private joke with my parents now they can ride for free.
6) Guns. I understand your history. I'm okay with your rights. Personally, I think you've taken it too far. If you need to carry a gun to "defend" yourself in public, there is something wrong with the public.
Gun crime is admittedly up in the UK, but nothing like here. I felt safe on the streets there.
7) Privacy. If you believe the horror stories, the US government is listening to everything I say and type. I'm sure that's not true, entirely. I'm sure I'm not on a hot-list, and if I were, well maybe it would be for a good reason. But nonetheless, what I say to other people is private.
Yes, the UK now has cameras around a lot more places. But they are in public. I actually don't think that is a bad thing. Whilst I'm out in public, sure, go ahead watch me. I really don't care. People can see me anyway. If I'm doing something suspicious, then perhaps I should be being watched.

About all for now. Comments appreciated.
