Too tough to answer for you.
Either there will be future generations or not. No in-between, no sort of, kind of. There's nothing like stumping the fundies!

Obama has to now end a war that he had always been against.... do you think anyone can now just send in boats and clear the troops out.... impossible.



The problem isn't leaving. We can do that. The problem is Iran...always has been. BO knows he has to leave some US troops in Iraq to deter an Iranian invasion or justify a third US invasion of Iraq when the next Iran-Iraq War starts. Then gas will cost $10/gal and BO will get tossed out on his a$$. So he keeps postponing it, trying buy more time so he can get his second term before he lets it all go to hell. All that talk about withdrawing troops six months after taking office was bull sh*t.

See, this is what I'm trying to say. They really do go right back to the ships. You can load about a dozen jar-heads at a time in those things and helicopters and j-boats move troops too.

War is good. You don't hear any complaints from defense contractors, do you?

stop the cradle to grave entitlement mentality.... No one is offering a cradle to the grave entitlement mentality or system.



the real question is with the destruction of this fine country by the liberals...why would anyone in their right mind vote for the fascist liberals
Fascist Liberals??????????? obviously you don't know what Fascism is.......................
"a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."

Most Americans only understand labels, not definitions without using proper nouns.

[quote=buzzards27;19174690] Last month it was more like 2.72% which is still lower that the average of Bush's 8 years. Since Obama took office inflation has been under 1%.

QUOTE]

uhm so says who...some obama cabinate member

inflation has been near 15% for the last 3 years

look at the prices in the stores

have you benn to the store

prices are going up, and up

coffee is double what it was 4 years ago

coffee up

sugar up

cotton up

corn up

all other vegitable up

all meats up

almost everything us up



REAL INFALTION IS CURRENTLY ABOUT 10-15% or more...unfortuantely the government(from either party) doesnt give us the REAL numbers










it certainly is for every working class person or old person

you think that your utility cost being up is not inlation???

you think your medical/pharm costs being up is not inflation???

you think your clothing costs being up is not inflation???

you think your housing (rent and rela taxes) being up is not inflation???


you think food costs going up is not inflation???

you think building supply costs (ie home depot) being UP is not inflation???


almost EVERYTHING we use has gone up by at least 10% to in some cases 30% in the last 3 years...and you are going to tell me inflation is "only 2% or less"



have you been to the store???...have you SEEN THE PRICES???? milk is nearly $4 a gallon...meats have gone though the roof...in 2004 a 3lb can of coffee was about $3...today its a 2.2lb can of coffee and its $8...nearly a 300% increase in less than 10 years

sorry you are too blind to see

you certainly do prove that the sheeple are out there for the slaughter

so are you going to tell me YOU BELIEVE the government TELLING YOU that inflation is at 0-1% when PRICES in nearly everything have risen 10-20% or more????

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND...dude
