still, off camera he led the homeless in a rousing ten minutes of P90X

why does Johnny stir me so?

Even when alive, he roused my spirit. And now, he grows even more deep and haunting in death..

Where's the outrage coming from TSC TYT in viable suggestions/solutions/alternatives to the subject matter of ANYTHING they regurgitate, please??! Asshats! Shut down your slanted boudoir of misinformation!


To quote the last line and beg a question-"...and that's what we're seeing here is southern justice."
"What the fuck does that mean you complete tool??!"

Mind you, my question does not necessarily preclude taking any side on this issue save the sane one. Obviously there is a glitch in this state's law that has put them in the shit storm they are finding themselves in of late and the woman should be given a medal for scaring the holy fuck out of a piece of abusive garbage: My problem is with the inflammatory method TYT uses as a means to disseminate information. They suck at any form of objectivity in reporting (editorializing) and whine like children. No Pulitzer prize for news in their basement organization's future without taking a 101 in anti-rabble-rousing. This is no different than watching CBS, NBC, or ABCDEFG.

These wrinkles in bad legislation will even themselves out as soon as people learn to read again! Eternal disappointment in these offerings from those anti-Otttoman yellows who would use sticks to fight an oppressive empire. These wannna-be journalist kids need to buy some firearms.

This is bad news for everyone! Who in their right mind would teach a R.O.U.S. (Rodent Of Unusual Size) to snowboard, now they can leave the fire swamps!

So "hating" on the protestors aside, I'm curious of your beliefs: Are you totally ok with how the very rich are becoming increasingly richer? Do you support it as positive for the US economy? >> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:

Answer: Because communists, anarchists, and marxists inevitably gravitate to each other - natch. If Wisconsin taught us anything it is that unions are in favor of generalized thuggery and rabble-rousing against the public.

cupy-wall-st-moveme/
There is no better illustration of just how ignorant and dumb the protesters are than this laundry list of glittering stupidity. They couldn't demonstrate any more clearly just how radical and out of touch with reality they are if they tried. Now, doubtless many of you here in the Sift will give a rousing huzzah to their list. I rest my case.
And relevant to this vid they want to unionize all workers. Ding ding ding.

It is exactly the same poem -- I prefer this performance though.

He is really pissed in this version -- it is rousing!

Should be *livemusic -- his words are musical and a live performance by definition is different each time.

Rousing speech.

But I do take exception to the fact that he said that Congress can create money. This is, in fact, one thing they are forbidden to do. What they can do is sell bonds and securities in order to raise money when there is a shortfall, which is why they need the FED.

It doesn't make his general point any less important, but it seems like a very important detail.

This needs to be taken in context: when any criticism of religion (especially Islam in Europe these days) is immediately labeled as "insulting" or "provocation", then yes, we need to continue "insulting" religion.

This* is the kind of response you get when you draw a cartoon of Mohamed. Drawing Mohamed: an insult. Not to mention anyone who dare draw attention to the unethical consequences of Sharia, for example.

@SDGundamX: sarcasm, learn to recognise it


*edit: and that's just the signs. People killed and were killed due to the shitstorm that was roused by the Danish imams. The imams, mind you, not the cartoons.

@bareboards2 Hmmm, those issues don't really seem related at all to the issue at hand. For one, to compare the death penalties as a punishment criminals is hazardous to your own argument. Are you saying abortion is a punishment to children? I don't think that is a comparison you want to make. I don't see how welfare factors into it, at all. If I don't think people should be murdered, it doesn't follow that I should have to support via welfare every person whom isn't murdered.

Also, you confuse "caring" with "allowing". For instance, I am for prostitution being legal, but I still think it is horrible. It is like saying you can't have jails because you believe in liberty, and jail violate liberty. It depends on what is MORE important, and those who are supporters of pro-life choose to favor life that can't speak for itself...a subjective position, but one they feel morally obligated to protect. I should also point out this is a week case. A majority (according to many polls) of people are wishy washy when it comes to saving the life of the mother vs the baby. This is actually a point where both sides of the issue see more eye to eye on that rabble rouses would have. Rape and abuse also fall into that rather large majority of pro-lifers are more aligned than pro-choicers would usually suspect.

The entire issue of child birth is also inconsistent for pro-choice people as well. Most pro-choice people are against third term abortions, which is very inconsistent indeed. If it isn't a baby till it is born, then why? Because like most issues,, for many, this is about emotion more than thought out beliefs from both sides. Don't be so hard on pro-lifer, you might find you have more in common than what you think. Just prevent the hardliners from taking over the conversation, and I feel like you might be one of those hard liners for the camp that I fight for, which I why I say anything at all.

Eff you Hollywood. This is just idiotic. The only thing this has in common with Peter Pan are the names.
Edit: Why I'm angry: There was no need for a prequel by anyone. All this does is destroy the imagination of little children who read Peter Pan and imagine what came before for themselves. Imho, this prequel destroys a major goal of the original, rousing the imagination of children.


because this ones target audience is obviously children

i for one thinks this looks badass

Yes, yes. Any school with famous liberals who graduated are now completely invalid as educational institutions. That's how you get around that one. Harvard Law is a crap school. So here are the conservative graduates who also don't have a valid degree according to you:

Chief Justice John Roberts
Former Chief Justice William Rehnquist
Justice Antonin Scalia
George W. Bush
William Bennett
Henry Paulson
Bill Frist
Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens
Mitt Romney
Alan Keyes
Lou Dobbs
Bill O'Reilly

Man... too bad they must all be idiots... and they clearly don't have a grasp on being "American".

Do you ever stop and think before you say things like that?

You don't get to invalidate someone's academic achievement because you politically disagree with them... Well, you can, but it just makes you look incredibly stupid. There's something horribly wrong with people who look down on someone's intelligence despite graduating from one of the elite colleges in the US because they disagree with them. Ridiculous...

Sarah Palin can really galvanize and lead, eh?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/07/palin-unfavorable-rating-reaches-new-high/

What, are all polls now liberally biased, too?!

And nice try attempting to make this about how well Obama has done as President. That wasn't the debate. You said Palin is just as smart, if not smarter, than Obama. She's not. Period. You can't even sanely argue that she is. She's of average to above average intelligence overall, but sorely lacks knowledge of the economy, foreign policy, and other crucial topics needed to be a good president. Plain and simple. Your political leanings shouldn't cloud that assessment. There are plenty of right wingers who also can accept Palin just isn't smart, and Obama is.

Bonus: The only person who brought up Al Gore is you. This isn't a liberal vs conservative thing. This is you saying idiotic things flying in the face of simple facts.

>> ^quantumushroom:

Did you seriously just say Obama's intellect is comparable to Palin's?!
Palin has a far better grasp on what it means to be an American than a bitter leftist who sat in a hate-Whitey church for 20-plus years. His Earness is endlessly promoted by His media lackeys, so a fair comparison is not possible.
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? Look, gaffes aside, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School with a JD magna cum laude. Palin took six years to get a bachelor's degree in communications bouncing around from school to school to get it!
You might have had a point when Harvard wasn't a politically-correct degree mill. Speaking of kollij, we will never see Obama's kollij papers to know his genius even then. Community organizer? Do you even need higher education to become a rabble-rousing 'activist'?
Dude, if the conservative/libertarian ideology concluded the world is flat, would you spout that crap, too?! In fact, your beloved Ron Paul wouldn't tell Obama he's not smart enough to be president.
I don't need any labels to denounce His Earness. I merely observe the results of his incompetence (or genius, for those promoting the one-world illuminati worldview). His results are indefensible by any metric you care to name.
Just ridiculous. I get you don't like Obama, but that doesn't mean you should ignore basic fact. And I'm sorry, but she's simply not smart enough to be president. This has nothing to do with her ideology. Plenty of conservative politicians are out there who have the intellectual capacity to be president, but she's not one of them.
Due to an unfortunate media-created outbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome, your observation cannot be quantified. Anyone here think Joe Biden is smart enough to operate a doorknob much less be President?
BONUS NO. 2 -- "Who are these people?" -- mid-90s Vice President and supergenius Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington and Franklin during a tour of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson.
