Ok, while I agree that the country is better off without Mr. Helms in government, this is way beyond bad taste.
Just because you have the right to say something doesn’t mean you should. This is something I would expect to hear from BBG.
I will admit that it is difficult to find something positive to say about Senator Helms.
But Mr. Helms and his wife adopted a nine-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and gave him a good home. At least one person’s life was made better because of Mr. Helms.
re 6: Perhaps the way you stated that was a bit ‘inartful’. But I accept your compliment.

11 – You’re fucking A right Mr. C. I’m an atheist and a progressive. I don’t believe in things for which there are no evidence. Just because you say God exists doesn’t mean I have to buy it. And if having a “soul” means I’m a mean-spirited ghoul who delights in grabbing a buck faster than the other guy, I want no part of that. No sale.
I’m a progressive because I believe in progress and to me progress means the greatest good for the greatest number. That implies an even playing field between the haves and have nots in our society. So that means a heavy priority on a sustainably growing economy, education, civil rights and our society picking up the slack where the market fails like it has so clearly in health care. Oh and things that threaten progress like endless wars and occupations played on Faux News Channel for right-wing armchair generals I’m totally opposed to.
We had a lot of progress in this country after WWII – through Harry Truman, Ike, JFK and LBJ. It all started going to crap with Nixon even though (hard to believe it) he did a few progressive things. Ronnie Raygun slid this country’s demise into overdrive – after that, everything good had to be for the richest. If the rich didn’t like it, it was bad.
That needs to change but fast.

You Neo-socialists should be celebrating Rush Limbaugh’s new contract. $400 million for 8 years. Not too shabby!
It’s definitely a win-win situation: Rush gets a ton of money for Oxycontin, and the govt. gets about 35% of the nut over the 8 years.
With all that money coming in, Obama can buy pot Twinkies for us all!!
Yep, the future looks bright indeed!

…That implies an even playing field between the haves and have nots in our society.
It’s impossible to even the playing field. Some people are born more introverted, because of such they will always struggle for the same level of social success as someone more extroverted. If you’re born good-looking, social life will be easier for you. Social success translates to business success. What’s the solution, government plastic surgery programs?
In a country of freedom of choice, some people make bad choices. How can you even the playing field when people are making bad choices? Not just choices that sends their own life down the wrong path but choices that ruin the lives of others like immature idiots having offspring. What can the government do to put those kids on an even playing field with let’s say your children.
What makes America so great is there is nothing stopping one from becoming one of the haves. There are no requirements to be a millionaire. Color doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Sexual preference doesn’t matter. College degree or high school dropout. One of the richest in the teevee business is a fat black female that grew up in poverty. Sure we are a country of haves and have-nots, but the difference is more of a matter of faith in ones self instead of luck. Look how many “lucky” lottery millionaires end up bankrupt. Sure, some people pass their wealth down to their children, aren’t you?
Life is not fair, the sooner it’s learned the better off one will be. There will be disappointments even when one believes they have “earned” it.

It’s a free country. Will’s free to do what he pleases without hurting anyone as are we. Why do you hate America Mr. C?
Does “progress” mean higher taxes and disincenting the private sector to invest $$ and create jobs?
Progress means fair taxation. The private sector has been chasing cheap labor in China/India/wherever since it became feasible. I say fine. Sounds like it’s only fair that they pony up the bucks to pay for the bloated Defense department and the endless recreational wars beloved by you right wing KLOWNS.
Does “progress” mean excessive layers of bureaucratic regulations creating welfare jobs for a bunch of LEFTIST PINHEADED KLOWNS??
Regulation has one purpose – to compel greedy corporate bastards to stop passing on the costs of their operations to the environment or the health and safety of workers and consumers. Hell, regulation works to protect greedy corporate bastards from each other – see the anti-trust laws!

In a country of freedom of choice, some people make bad choices. How can you even the playing field when people are making bad choices?
Civil rights mean in part that the consequences for bad choices are fairly adjudicated regardless of race, creed, etc.
Not just choices that sends their own life down the wrong path but choices that ruin the lives of others like immature idiots having offspring. What can the government do to put those kids on an even playing field with let’s say your children.
Children should not have to pay for the mistakes of their parents. Fund State Human Services agencies appropriately rather than give tax breaks to the rich and the corporations who take those tax cuts and shower riches on their executives.
What makes America so great is there is nothing stopping one from becoming one of the haves.
I hope there’s some laws against cutting the other guy’s throat.
There are no requirements to be a millionaire.
