Down the path
I just read an interesting article by a Russian professor predicting the breakup of the United States within the next two years. This scenario isn't too far fetched. Both coasts are so far left socially that here in the Midwest they are viewed as morally reprehensible, so much so that few here even want to vacation there anymore. If you haven't noticed, the states that are running the horrendous deficits the past few years are these same morally bankrupt coasts. I wouldn't be surprised if the conservative-leaning central states wouldn't want to rid themselves of this coastal blight and form a new country. Sounds mighty plausible given the fact that we could sell California to the Chinese to get rid of our debt to them, and Hawaii to Japan. Obama can go ahead and destroy what is left of the states to the east of the Mississippi River with his change to socialism that he is always preaching. You folks better think hard about the path he is leading us down.
Ruin or rehabilitate
HISTORIANS will determine whether Rush Limbaugh ruined or rehabilitated the Republican Party. I'm betting on the former.
Tax cheats
HOW many tax cheats will President Obama put in his White House? It's no wonder why Democrats love taxes. They don't pay them.
High bills
PRESIDENT Obama wants to cap emissions that will raise energy costs, as of our utility bill isn't high enough already.
Be vigilant
LET'S get the burglars that are cleaning out our town. If these people are professionals, they have to watch their targets to see when a safe time to break in would be. Keep your eyes open. If you see a strange car parked in your neighborhood or people who don't belong, pay attention. Remember details, perhaps even notify authorities. Anytime you go outside is a chance to look around.
School parking
WHY aren't Jackson High School students parking in the huge parking lot that was built for them instead of parking on the streets around the high school and taking up parking spaces for nonstudents to use? Every time I drive around in Jackson, especially on the highway, I see the Jackson police stopping cars. I don't think it took too much time to write a few parking tickets. Keep up the good work.
Book for Delta
I see that construction is about to get underway for the Delta Elementary School. I hope the new school comes with books. I'm sick of helping my child with copied book pages. Maybe less money will be spent on sports someday and proper books will be purchased.
Throwing money
EVERY time Washington creates one federal job, it takes all of the tax revenue of seven people working in the private sector to pay for that one person. Everyone can't work for the government. The bureaucrats in Washington don't understand that. They are not fixing any of the problems. They are only putting off dealing with the problems by throwing more borrowed money at them. The money will have to be repaid sometime. If we don't slow down on the borrowing, China and others will stop lending to us.
Limbaugh's influence
RUSH Limbaugh's growing influence on the Republican Party helps two entities: Rush Limbaugh and the Democratic Party. It's good for Limbaugh because increased prominence translates to higher ratings and book sales. It's good for Democrats because, though reinforcing positions of unwavering Republicans, it serves to ostracize those closer to the center. If the Republican Party wants to influence more than 30 percent of the electorate, it needs to keep Limbaugh at a distance.
Comments
Sell California to the Chinese? You been living under a rock for the past 2 months? Obammy sold the entire U.S. to the Chinese. The only question now is, do we remame China's purchase the United States of China, or remame it The Peoples Republic of America.
Delta, there's no money left to purchase books for your school. Sec. of State Hillary is promising $900 million to the Palestinians to educate their children. (In Hamas run schools no doubt.)
Since so much of what she warned about in Atlas Shrugged is realizing fruition, we should rename the US the People's Republic of America in honor of Ayn Rand, just like in the book.
John
It's much too easy to have Katie Couric or Rush Limbaugh tell us which party most represents us.
BTW. I'm a little disapointed in Katie for forgeting to tell us about the $4700 per year raise the current congress gave themselves. Not that they don't deserve it, mind you.
Down the path
As long as the country that Missouri winds up in has legal cannabis, I'm all for it.
Ruin or rehabilitate
I know that you all have been debating this and I ignore it as politics is a waste of time and money: witness the mess that the gov't has gotten us into. However, Rush is an entertainer and if you go any further than that, you're just fooling yourself. Bush the 43rd ****** it up for the republicans.
VOTE LIBERTARIAN!
Tax cheats
Does this caller have an evidence? It only seems reasonable that tax evaders come in all flavors.
School parking
I'd say that they are parking off-campus for the same reasons that I did when I attended the old CHS. My largest reason revolved around that huge parking sticker that had to be affixed to the back window. I was not about the advertise that I was a high school student... especially at 3 a.m.; I like staying under the radar. Of course, there was the associated fee as well. Third, the cops never ran the drug dogs off campus. Fourth, parking off campus made it easier to ditch class. Fifth, there was no smoking on campus.
On a side note, I can still remember the "rule" that was created that stated that everyone had to remain in a vehicle when they were off campus. One was not allowed to stand on a PUBLIC SIDEWALK before and after school and during lunch. It seems that I got into weekly arguments with the "authorities" regarding this; they eventually gave up.
The Toga Party
Now ship a socialist across that money saving bridge. (Preferably a non-smoker)
Willy...you live in Illinois, right?
Golly...alot of bashing goin' on today...i'm a lil' nervous, I refuse to move to Illinois.
Tax cheats...takes all kinds!
High bills.....actually I've been really happy with my utility bill! :)
Be vigilant.....isn't that why Neighborhood Watches were established, we should always b on the lookout. Although if the car is parked and it's very smokey...don't sweat it; it's just Isobar & Mary Jane...they don't mean no harm! :)~
School parking....again I agree with Isobar...it's so much more convenient for the students to park on the street...besides I'm sure as a nonstudent, u could use the exercise! :)~
BTW: The only time I see cops n Jackson is at lunch time. I'm just sayin'.......
Books...no books for the classroom but they have sports programs. Ahh..it's probably just a sign of the times; perhaps it's copied from the Internet to try and cut back costs, I'd b more concerned if they weren't sending any work home! That's just me.......
the best BBQ the Togas ever had too....
Ohh...Willy...the American Patriots......no, the REAL American Patriots????
tax cheats
this has went on for decades and will continue after Obama leaves office.
high bills
I can not complain ours have been lower this winter than they have in a few years now.
parking
as a parent I would rathr have a kid park off campus than in the parking lot. All those kids in a hurry to leave as soon as the bell rings and congested parking lots leads to fender benders. Thankfully our school doesn't have that problem, when you only have maybe 60 kids in the school that drive doesn't leave many problems.
books
Delta has what basketball and baseball maybe track so how can that much money be going towards sports. It is a small town without much for kid to do. A lot of schools have went to sending pages home instead of the books, it is cheaper to go to the website and download the pages than to buy all the books that will need to be replaced in a couple of years from damage and being lost. I could care less if my child has the book or copied pages as long as they are getting the education.
Willy
who are u talking about ??
Interesting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP73cK3GX...
Willy,
The Constitution Party.
Sorry Willy,
Those ideals don't fit into either President Ho **** Chow's nor Assistant President Obama's political ideals.
Hmm. Sound that a bell makes or slang for a male body part. Guess the web cops took the dirty road.
A government big enough
to give you everything you want,
is strong enough
to take everything you have.
Oh so true!!!!
Down the path: Obama sold us to the Chinese?? LOL! We all know BUSH started us down that path. *Thinking hard about the path* Blimey! Maybe well all defect from the government, and reinstate the days of rugged individualism, cowboys, brothels, and hangings! I can't wait! Bring it on! I've always wanted to be a cattle baron!
Ruin or rehabilitate: Bad bet.
Tax cheats: Actually, I like this. This means we can all just stop paying taxes, get rid of ALL government, and do what we want. I love it!
High bills: I'm beginning to see the grand plan. Buy raising costs and taxes we will close all corporations, they'll be a surge in Maw and Paw companies, and we can abolish government, and revert back to Rugged Individualism! I love it!
Be vigilant: But take it a step further. If you see a stranger, ask him what he is doing, and if he has business in the neighborhood. If not, tell him to get out or there'll be trouble...and that you don't mean the good kind either. Then...spit tobacco on his shoe, and pistol whip him till he runs off.
School parking: ? ohh who cares, on the to next topic!
Book for Delta: Books?? Now what would they need with those? LOL...ya, I know exactly what you mean.
Throwing money: This is why we would completely abolish ALL government. We're just paying taxes to pay under-qualified politicians, lobbyist, and nasty little interns anyway. Abolish it, then let's see who can "stand" on their own.
Limbaugh's influence: Yes...Keep him at a distance, then switch back to the Southern Democratic Party.
Books
My child goes to Delta and I totally understand your frustations with the papers. I really like it when it says to refer to fig 1 and all you see is a black square because the toner was turned up to high. I do hope the new building is a turning point for the school but I still think a new room is not going to make our children any smarter and parental envolvment for most children might as well be considered home schooled.
Just thought I would say Hi and hope everyone is having a good day!

ok I only posted that once .
Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist. Interesting view on our new president. Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism. Dr. Vaknin States "I must confess I was impressed by Sen.Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident - a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such quasi "religious" impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects." Barack Obama is a narcissist. Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self Love believes "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist." Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens. Vaknin says that Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that the Senator is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao,Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom. When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse. "Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations," says Vaknin. "Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white)grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995". One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents. Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective. They are focused on one thing alone and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do not deserve their attention. If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. The "present" vote is a safe vote. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what? His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father. Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself? Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself. This election is like no other in the history of America. The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world? I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others...They are simply self serving and selfish. Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous.. Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party.. The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. This is racism, pure and simple. The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960's. Obama will set the clock back decades... America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.
Willy,
Yeah, I win another meaningless SO competition! The socialist I choose to send (back) to Illinois is Obama!
I can't agree with the Constitution Party's immigration platform. And I don't care for their "family values" chest thumping.
Unless I ever run for office, I will be a lifelong Libertarian.
The only Presidential debate I listened to last year was one between the Constitution, the Green, the Socialist, and the Boston Tea parties. That was alot of fun!
Megalo,
Actually, I think it was Clinton that started the great Chinese sell-off.
hotrod_girl_is_here......interesting perspective.
I disagree though..many may feel as if he is/acts like he is their "Messiah"; prodeminately in the african-american community...I don't feel the majority of people who support him do...he is just a man who happens to b bi-racial, who isn't?
furthermore, it is exciting if u r bi-racial, it's exciting if u r a young, college students just learning the ropes..and they r different..it's been 90 days people. Perhaps it was those u spoke of that expected the man or any man to produce a miracle?
Furthermore, how many times in our nations history have we flip-flopped back -n- forth, reps./dems.; it takes 4 years for them to figure it out; if we like, another 4 yrs...if not, ehhh...try again.
I agree we need more diverse candidates...what r those requirements again?
Willy.........
American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.....
U had to go & post it again...in ur 'perfect world' what about weapons of mass destruction and the threats of nuclear attacks, is everyone else in the world just gonna play along?
Principle #1: . Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;
Willy...what about cases of rape/incest?
now if u chose to exclude those, r u now a sell-out & from whose perspective?
Willy,
Actually...if we want to go back to the Chinese and selling off, I guess we should go back to Nixon then.
Oops, I ment my last message to Lumpy. Wow! This SO forum looks like a jigsaw puzzle today.
snopes on the truth concerning Dr Vaknin. According to snopes the quoted article was written by someone other than Dr. Vaknin and is being sent via email. I doubt if Rush or any of his cohorts have anything to do with it. LOL

Cycle, I am not the least bit surprised........
I would argue w/u about apparently our different versions of divine intervention and the laws of nature but I don't have the time..right now...so to each their own.....
Gosh dang it, Cycle.....congenital birth defects r not rape/incest, my friend? READ my words....
I don't want to hit to close to home but if a woman u knew was raped/impregnanted...would u want to raise that child, possibly bi-racial child? would she? nevermind, if ur father is also ur baby's daddy? seriously...there r birth defects that come with that as well?
OK...Willy, what about #1 n cases of rape/incest?
do u believe that is divine intervention as well and not to be tampered with like Cycle.......
Sean Hannity is the dumbest person in mass media. I cannot believe the dumb things that come out of his mouth.
I'm with you Turnip,
If the unborn's mother was involved in rape or incest, the unborn should be punished. Rip it from the womb, throw it in the trash, and burn it as medical waste.
Willy Makit:
Really? I am in mass media? You're as dumb as Hannity! Must be a fan.
I don't want to hit to close to home but if a woman u knew was raped/impregnanted...would u want to raise that child, possibly bi-racial child?
Pretty revealing and pretty darned sad too.
"Sean Hannity is the dumbest person in mass media. I cannot believe the dumb things that come out of his mouth."
-- Posted by Ike on Tue, Mar 10, 2009, 3:49 pm CDT
Ike, I solved that problem by stopping my listening of Hannity. Any guy who has "supposedly" dated Ann Coulter, has got to be a few bricks shy of a full load.
Cycle,
Yes, for some it is so I don't even bother "debating" them as that gives them credit for something they are not capable.
I try to stay away from the abortion issue, but sometimes it is just too much and as I said, so telling of how some people feel about human life and what is "human" life.
"Principle #1: Life: For all human beings from conception to natural death."
You must be crazy about Nadya Suleman. She believes the same thing. Are you related?
If a young girl is raped then it would be hard to tell her she HAD to have the baby but that would be a choice for her and the parent. The woman may not want to raise the child but so many out there would gladly take it and love it give it home and look at it as the miracle they had been waiting for no matter if it was bi racial or had health issues.
For me the only time abortion would b an answer is in case of severe medical conditions that could kill the mother or in cases where the baby has no brain and will die at birth.
No matter what anyone thinks the fact is it is still the mothers choice and no one can make the choice for her. Maybe someday it will be banned but until then all we can do is deal with it.
Rape/incest represents a nearly insignificant percentage of abortions performed in this country.
did i miss something, does nearly now me none. The question was directed to Willy and his party.
I don't want to think what you know, Cycle I'd prefer u answer the question?
Shows you what she REALLY thinks, huh?.....what that I don't support a total ban on abortions...I think there r exceptions..elective abortions, hell no...but we weren't talking about that where we Willy....what gets me is u all grip about the welfarians of the world who do u think is the largest part of that...unwed mothers and their children...but then bow to the sacredness of life...what u should say is only fetuses matter b/c the rest of the countrys' children do not!
yea, Cycle...who was the first to chime in they weren't bi-racial, shows how relevant it is to you as well. Wow..newsflash...u can actually tell what someone thinks by their posts...isn't that the point?
BTW, do us a favor and bang a lil' harder! :)~
semoangel70, in my perfect world, adoption should always be the best option no matter the circumstances but good point about the health/welfare of the baby, I just gave Willy an example on his PRO-LIFE spill.
I have not really explained my opinion on abortion, but did not realize people needed permission to express an opinion or than one person's was more valid than another's. Some like to espouse equality of the sexes until it becomes inconvenient to them.
Heller did not stop some from continually expressing their "opinion" on the 2nd Amendment and Roe v Wade will not stop others from dissenting also.
MeLange...thanks for your two cents worth...yes, I am female and though I have not/will not have an abortion, I am pro-choice.
What I think this boils down to and we are all probably guilty of this a time or two is government intervention is all fine and good as long as it goes with what u believe, when it doesn't it's evil and should b destroyed. That was my point about them defending embryos but **** the poor uninsured children of the nation.
The ironic part of this is Willy posted this to begin with and where is he? Probably fishing......
MeLange...did u see how TripleS there completely slide by answering ur question, I get that alot.
He was all piping n, expressing his opinion earlier about the tell tale signs of ones post...Then it's always oh, it's like bangin' my head..wall..blah, blah...no, it's like being n a corner and can't get out...so attack! typical.......
Turnip,
My comment was about blatant racism, not abortion.
Like I said, I really do not like to discuss abortion for a variety of reasons.
if i'm in a car wreck and kill a preggar woman i
get two counts of murder against me...
why is it murder for me and not murder for an
abortion ?
things should be even ...
Me'Lange
very true no one can say without a doubt what they would or wouldn't do until they have been in that situation. Personally I can not imagine having an abortion I love all my kids and even though one was a HUGE surprise I never considered abortion.
I did however tell my husband what to do with his body when I made the appointment for a snip snip after our son was born!
wincing at snip snip...
IMO,
I really don't think any woman wants an abortion. But many make the choice to get an abortion because this society refrains from helping them. A scared 18-year-old is faced with deciding how she is going to hold a job or get a job with enable her to pay for daycare, food, clothing, and shelter. (The NEEDS I was talking about the other day.) When faced with the decision to bring a child into a "cold cruel world" or abort, they choose to Abort.
Now faced with a society that would help nurture the situation, perhaps the numbers of abortions would drastically drop? Again, this is just my opinion, but...I have had this debate with some of the 20-26 year old females at the University and church focus groups, and this is what they are telling me.
Down the path: Obama is following the path of his predecessor. I may not agree with the path taken, but who am I, I'm relative new to European ways.
Ruin or rehabilitate: It was the arrogance of the supporters of the Republican Party that destroyed it.
Limbaugh's influence: I don't think that it was Rush's influence, I think that it was arrogance.
I was in a bar in sunny California when I was accused of being un-American for being against the Vietnam War. I just returned and was called an un-American by a couple of fat ##### who never were in the service, but listened regularly to Bill Buckley. I am therefore an un-American and looking at my accusers, very proud of it.
TripleS...u missed my point as well, if u r gonna open yourself up with opinions then b prepared for some criticism. now...r u implying I am racist?
Rick..two counts of murder...yes, if u were high on meth and drunk off ur ars and ran over them during a high speed chase.....otherwise, no u would not.
Willy...thanks so much, this whole **** debate started over your question for the class....! :)~
Turnip
i just said that to see if anyone would say anything..
i really don't care about abortion one way or another
I try to stay away from the abortion issue, but sometimes it is just too much and as I said, so telling of how some people feel about human life and what is "human" life.
-- Posted by TripleS on Tue, Mar 10, 2009, 4:55 pm CDT
No, you didn't comment on the abortion issue...please..don't waste my time. a bi-racial racist...that even reads silly. if u want to chime in, feel free but READ from beginning to end...i'm getting really tired of explaining this...u too cycle..u could use a refresher.
Rick, i didn't think I did either plus add ignorance. Humanity is a all or nothing thing..either u have it or u don't. That's what I think anyway.
Almost staying clear of the abortion issue but here's my take. To have a law against abortion but would allow it in case of rape and incest makes little sense for one who believes in justice. If you believe that a fetus is life, then you would be punishing a child for the sins of its father. This would be injustice according to my understanding of natural law.
Abortion is not a national issue, it can never be.
Willy
