“I looked at his photo and thought to myself, my goodness, he's a kid!
He's only 23.
What sort of misguided thinking creates young person already possessed of such a wanton disregard for human life?
The level of dispair and confusion in someone willing to take his own life and the life of innocent bystanders just to illustrate some obscure political point boggles my mind.”

“It is mental illness. It is massively deranged brian chemistry. It exits in all political movements and organized religions. I have had people from the Middle East tell me themselves that families that involve multiple wives have tremendous internal rivalries that produce dysfunctional personalities. They, themselves, feared it in their own culture. I do not know, however, the cause of the massive wave of entrenched sociopaths that are the American Financial Taliban that now run Wall Street. What were their Mommies like?
So it goes.”

Hope
That took a lot of thought. Expain how you would have handled that situation???? I'll wait for your answer.
You want me to explain to you how I, if President on 9!!, could better have handled the response to our nations attack?
Gee, I don't know.
Maybe staring into space for SEVEN MINUTES and then remaining cowering in a room full of schoolchildren IS the correct response from our Commander-In-Chief.
Sigh.
No longer will I ask myself how Rush and Palin became the leaders of the Republican party.”

There is NO use to try and help these people, it will only cost us TRUE taxpayers more in the long run. Let them default and let the banks try and resale the property and houses at the cost the homeowners lost them. That way the banks will recover the money it has invested in these homes and investors will get great opportunities to buy property at lower cost and make money. This is a win win situation
How delightful!
Maybe while these families are living on the streets, we should cast lots for their garments too?
After all, they'll soon be d.ead of frostbite or malnutrition anyways.
Might as well try to make a dime off 'em while we can.”

Yet after WWII, Collaborators were severely punished by the citizenry.

“You're right hope. The Dems were forced into attempting to reinvent the wheel,since the Repubs and Blue Dogs fought against health care the way in which ALL other industrialized nations handle it. THE Repubs say they know better, and this is not the right way.
If this is true, then why didn't they even attempt to fix health care when they were in charge?”
