If the nsa is only listening to known terrorists outside america, investigations and paperwork must have already occured. If not, then they are an illegal corporation, trolling americans for their buying habits, with our government paid by taxpayers. They steal our tax money, build up a 12 trillion deficit, and then refuse to pay taxes with everyone else.

"Is it me, or does it seem that people who call themselves conservative and take on certain right wing viewpoints have a harder time making rational arguments? I've been chatting with a few of these people on here, and there doesn't seem to be a one of them that can understand what's presented to them." "The question I guess I'm asking is, are there conservative intellectuals? "

Originally Posted By Beaumandy <<Apparently, you are unable to even properly parse a simple English sentence.>> You start a thread saying there are no conservative intelectuals then you try and spin out of it when your called out? Lame. You are telling us that you and the libs are the only ones on here who are able to debate with any real skills. I didn't see you start a thread about liberals and their lack of argument skills.
Originally Posted By jonvn "You start a thread saying there are no conservative intelectuals" Perhaps a class in English comprehension would help, in addition to the American history class. You know, community colleges really don't have any standards as to whom they will admit. It'd be OK if you flunked out of high school. They'll still let you in, at least in California.

If this is you showing us how superior your debating skills are compared to conservatives we are all just blown away! As far as community colleges go, I think they are great. But you don't need college to take you down in a discusson or to make money in this country. I will put my W-2s up against anyone on here who has a masters degree.

They do not have the ability to discern motivation in others, because they do not want people to analyze their motivations. Like a cartoon image of an ostrich with it's head in the sand, the republican ostrich, thinks no one is looking at them. By constantly ignoring known facts, and insisting you cite them again and again, the republicans are using a blocking tactic, which is only used by someone who is guilty. The use of tactics that block vital information to, and from, the american people, can be construed as treason.

For once can you give us an example to back up your ramblings?

If the plaintiffs in a given case lack standing to bring it, a federal court is powerless to hear the case regardless of the importance of the claims plaintiffs seek to litigate.>> No Beau, your last post DIDN'T explain it. Your last post quoted some mumbo jumbo which I don't understand. I want YOU to explain if for me using terms a layman like me would understand. Thank You.

In this forum you talk about all kinds of crap you would never cover in most in person meetings. I don't think I want to bet you on the W2 bet vbdad. LOL

But she touched the lives of her family, friends and neighbors and helped make her community a better place for all. I only hope that I can accomplish half as much when I reach the end of my days. All people are valuable, all people deserve respect. All people deserve the right to Life, Liberty and Freedom.

LOL < Beau, you really shouldn't get into anything on here that you wouldn't in person either..to me that is a the mark of a person I would take at their word -- whether I agree with them on topics on not makes no difference as I am not the standard bearer for anwers any more than you are...but one should not make boasts they can't back up, it just makes a person look silly. and btw - whether it is your W2 or my W2 or most likely anyone else's here, in the world of 'real money' we are all paupers my friend, and money does not make the person ( I have been on both ends of the financial spectrum in my life and I am the same person, I just have more 'stuff' now ) - and education may not raise one's IQ, but it does enrich their knowledge base.

I surrender. To bring up W-2s was stupid and not really my point. Thanks for taking me to the Woodshed.
