" Interesting, Tom, that you are using the Colbert Report as a fact checking source..... Next, lets check Jersey Shore for some keen, geopolitical insights into how the GOP (or whatever) is so much PHAIL...
The Colbert Report is a mock news-programme, which actually contains more factual content than FAUX NEWS (your favourite station, am I right?).
"Say what you want about America and our spending, but without the U.S. and Crocodile Dundee, Australia is just a bunch of boomerangs, kangaroos, and didgeridoos. Oh, I'm sure YOU think you are important and special... and we'll keep pretending you are... but, when it comes down to it, your absolute, ENTIRE existence as a "free" and "sovereign" nation relies upon the U.S., Europe, India, and whatever other allies decides that you're strategic positioning in the Pacific is important enough to defend.

Stupid madden 13, I missed so much lol
Has anyone else read Ryan's 100 page path to prosperity? Yeah this is a no brainer.
Ron Paul:
Said that he was against the civil war, and pro sanctions to lessen the level of slavery. He also stated something about how Martin Luther King incited unneccessary riots. I'm a little too young to remember his twisted 90's rants. But eh... it sounds kind of racsist.
But the biggest reasons he's a nut job, is his belief that the economy shouldn't be based on productivity but some stupid metal found in the ground. Also that he believes those losers in the state government are one's that can do what's best for the country, despite the fact that states continously attack each economically without restraint.

I really don't like the dude, or many democrats for that matter. But the president is really untested. Lorelei not blaming you, but thi

Being against the Civil War makes you a racist?? You're a racist.
Tom Morgan not all Americans are so ignorant and arrogant and i apoligize for those who are.
@ Crafty: and the Tri-Lateralists, too, don't forget.
@ Drew.
Your attacking most Southern views. You forget that Southerners see themselves as Citizens of their state, then as Southerners then as Americans last... and a lot of us don't even consider ourselves the last one. I didnt say i agreed with his economical thing about the economy being based on a metlal.
The States should have more control than the damn Feds. thats what started the damn war-between-the-states. There wasnt anything Civil about it.
two Seperate countries and two seperate nations and cultures fighting is not a "Civil-War"
Slavery was not an MAJOR Issue in the war until the Emancipation. and even then it Just Pissed off the north bc they didnt want to fight a war to save the African-Americans... Or Have you never heard of the Draft Riots?
And in the South it pissed people off bc Lincoln was trying to Undermine our independent state. same thing if Britain tried to pass a law in the US tod
how many people watch the daily show and/or the colbert report

luke you seem like a smart guy who grew up in a sad isolated politically backward nostalgic and depressed community still holding on to their illusions of grandeur related to the civil war you do bring up some good points and facts BUT
the fact is America is a different country then 200 years ago and if you think another civil war is plausible or a succession of the south is plausible then you are completely wrong many in the south recognize this as we are a more integrated country then ever before
i used to watch the colbert report i thought it was funny but i stopped watching it because TV takes alot of time and id rather watch jersey shore
Border C dont insult Australia they export Ugs

why was Clint Eastwood there hes a fucking actor what does he know about politics just shows how superfcial people are they see clint eastwood a cool guy making some jokes and they figure what "eh republicans are cool guess ill vote for them"

just the thought of watching fat idiotic fucks clapping for Romney or pretty much any other politician makes me mad sorry bout my ranting
I don't remember implying all of that. But I do know that waiting for the tractors to come to replace slaves is pretty rascist. Now here's the thing you can have your values and I can have mine. There are things you view as moral and I can have completely different views.
So I tend to stick to facts and leave values out of the equation (at least I try to, I tend to be a very opinionated). The civil war was brought up socio-economical differences. When the North no longer needed slaves they saw it as wrong. But the south spent good money on them. I understand the south's position, but in todays times you can't say those things. We KNOW in today's times that people of African desent can be as productive, intellegence, attractive, etc as the other races. Only when they are viewed as inferior does the original southern rebellion hold any ground. NOW IT DOESN'T! YOU SAY THE BLACKS DIDN'T NEED TO BE FREED A
Actually European countries are far more liberal than the US.
Germany has a legal drinking age of 16 and older (spirits till you get to age 18) and the US gives you alcohol until the Age of 21, but sends you to kill and get killed at the age of 18, how stupid.

funny how republicans spend there says ranting to get the government off your back yet they want to push all there moral obsolete and christian values upon you libertarians are the true republicans....and dont hang me drew libertarians are good guys they want education roads and corporate regulation just like everyone else but theyre also intent on stopping all the bad/stupid things the government does including certain subsidys, war on drugs, stupid drinking age when you look at the government the waste extraordinary ammounts of money on retarded programs

Once again Drew. I wasn't trying to say you did imply anything. But From My experiences you have to understand that when it does get brought up it tends to last wayyy too long people get insulted and noone walks away a winner, so i was trying to Rule out anything that you might could accuse me of (Not Saying you Would) to extend that portion of the debate. just from past experiences i tend to try and avoid that debate online.
And to Stolin. I was not Raised in a politically backwards community. and i do not hope for a new civil war. Yes The US is different And Minus the Largest of Southern Cities Southern Culture is still different than any other place in the US and not the same as the North or West.
Is Seccession Plausible... Probably not without all of the Southern States doing it at once which is Extremely unlikely (Though becoming slightly more Likely with growing Disdain for Washington in all states) Do I think t
All Continents have went through it except this one.. and Antartica (But the Ice might have something to do with that im guessing) And History Doesnt care about technology or how great you think you are. Itll repeat itself a pound the lesson into peoples heads until they get off their high horses and learn.
Yes Alex I know the libertarians are better than the republicans. That's not saying much though. In fact they are a close second to democrats. Also not saying much. In fact the only issue I have is their desired dependency on the free market. That is a problem.
And Luke I'm sorry I fused you and a bunch of peoples comments together, and I think it read a little funny for me. I'm glad your not rascist, the only reason the civil war was brought up in the first place was to answer a question on why Ron Paul is a rascist. So you can be proud of your culture and you have mentioned nothing I'd disagree with except the power of the fed. I'd agree it is done incorrectly, and should be under an extensive audititory process conducted by an outside source. (outside= someone who has nothing to gain or lose based on changing policies, not meant to mean foreign). I sometimes agree the North <b>might</b> be be
Since this is the case I issue a challenge to all Romney voters. Go to Whitehouse.gov go to the budget and eliminate the deficit with just spending cuts. If you can tell me how because the sum of all government spending doesn't do it.
Then tell me whether you believe cutting the top marginal tax rate down to 25% is a good idea. Then tell me if lowering capital gains tax rate down to 10% only to be paid if income exceeds ~360k$ is a good idea.
I'll be waiting patiently for this impossible response.

Mr. Drew, you're against Republicans, and Republicans freed the slaves, therefore you're racist.
If that gets you thinking, then maybe you could think of some good reasons why someone might be against the Civil War having been fought, that have nothing to do with racism.
