    Release them all – close Guantanamo Bay – save taxpayer money (like every Republican wants to do – yeah right). It’s the only way to get rid of these guys.

    Released under GWB Admin. and he rejoined – I thought that only happens to Obama. But killed by Obama Admin. Leave it to a Democrat to always fix a Republican problem.

    Keep Whining you slutty fucking Republcans.

    Carl, the Valentine’s comic link just goes to the Daily Kos comics root page, which means it will stop working correctly once the next comic is posted. You probably want to link straight to the Tom Tomorrow comic:

    “How would you like to live in an economy where robots do everything that can be predictably programmed in advance, and almost all profits go to the robots’ owners?

    Meanwhile, human beings do the work that’s unpredictable – odd jobs, on-call projects, fetching and fixing, driving and delivering, tiny tasks needed at any and all hours – and patch together barely enough to live on.

    In effect, on-demand work is a reversion to the piece work of the nineteenth century – when workers had no power and no legal rights, took all the risks, and worked all hours for almost nothing.”

    I don’t see this ending well, if this is the world we are going to. It’s too easy to imagine we will get to the police state to keep out the saboteurs of the technology.
    I don’t see an easy solutions where the robot owners willing share that wealth with the “takers”.

    Apparently, Kim Jong Un has enough people looking at the internet and questioning why N. Korea is a big black spot at night from space, that he needs to comment. His response makes him sound like he knows he’s in trouble.

    @4 I don’t discount the possibility or actuality of what you say, but if the majority of people don’t have work or make a meager living, then the will not be able to afford all the wasteful things people buy today to keep the economy going. I think that that type of economic situation would collapse and not be too successful. As much as we like to think that the wealthy don’t care about the poor, today’s extent may be a little more than unsympathetic, but what would happen if poverty was the norm? Do you think the very rich would stand by and do nothing or would they then have to promote some epidemic that wipes out half the population>

    While i think some wish the takers would vanish, bio warfare is too unstable. I.e. what if their super vaccine didn’t work.

    Well that Luke Brinker is a real pinhead. No wonder Carl linked to him. Birds of a feather, pin their heads together. So let’s review some FACTS … http://imgur.com/bpnbqRI

    When did the crusades end again? And which is the “peaceful” religion again?

    Marchers Carry Golf Clubs to Protest the Arrest of William Wingate and Racial Profiling – Isn’t it wonderful how the progressive town of Seattle’s police department exhibits the same traits of Ferguson Police Department? Northern DUMMOCRETINS are no different!

    Obummer blames the media for everything… http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....ror-fears/ Nothing like Obummer understating the threat. Why is Jordan flying 20% of the sorties against ISIS while Saudi Arabia has almost four times the air force and they are “our friends”?

    Friends whom hate Israel and think like HA DUMMOCRETINS:

    Boko Haram
    Ansar al-Shari’a
    AQAP
    Hamas
    Hizballah
    Abu Sayyef
    ISIS
    Al Qaeda

    Remember DUMMOCRETINS, he’s a DUMMOCRETIN strategist, so his attacks on Republicans are expected

    he strategist recalls “when the Democrat Party was the voice of the common man, not the dictator to the common man.” Today, Democrats “have become a tool totally controlled by special interests. The left doesn’t care about ordinary people.” He says big environmental funders like “Tom Steyer basically control the White House and other people.” He detests hypocrites who “fly around in private planes but think the rest of us have to have bicycles.”

    Of course HA DUMMOCRETINS like Obummer’s net neutrality plan. Why? Because anything from Obummer is good no matter how bad it really is! Hope and Change morons are Goldy’s NorthWest Divsion of Lunatic Moonbats! http://dailycaller.com/2015/02.....-internet/

    “Courts have twice thrown out the FCC’s attempts at Internet regulation,” Pai said recalling the lawsuit that struck down the FCC’s Internet authority last year, setting off the year-long debate. “There’s no reason to think that the third time will be the charm. Even a cursory look at the plan reveals glaring legal flaws that are sure to mire the agency in the muck of litigation for a long, long time.”

    To a HA DUMMOCRETIN government always knows best no matter how heinous the regulations are!

    Puddy really cracks up when HA DUMMOCRETINS claim it’s all about the money for Republicans… Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, it’s all about the money for DUMMOCRETINS…

    In a resignation letter obtained by POLITICO, Brock, a close Clinton ally, accused Priorities officials of planting “an orchestrated political hit job” against his own pro-Clinton groups, American Bridge and Media Matters.

    Those groups — along with another pro-Clinton group, the super PAC Ready for Hillary — had their fundraising practices called into question last week by a New York Times report. It pointed out that veteran Democratic fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner got a 12.5 percent commission on funds she raised for Brock’s groups and a smaller percentage commission on cash she raised for Ready for Hillary.

    http://www.politico.com/story/.....15028.html
    Puddy wonders how does Media Morons keep it’s 501 designation with it’s blatant left wrong libtard stances? Puddy knows why Media Morons is used by HA DUMMOCRETINS… for it’s blatant left wrong stances!

    This was big time news last week. Such big time news the NY Slimes had to cover it. Yet this failed to make the Friday Night Comix page. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02......html?_r=0

    But few fund-raisers seem to command commissions as generous as Ms. Bonner’s. Political fund-raisers are typically paid monthly retainers, which can reach $25,000 a month during campaigns. The Bonner Group is paid almost exclusively on commission, a practice that is legal but frowned upon by some fund-raising consultants, who say it leads to fights with clients and other consultants over credit. It is considered unethical by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, partly because it can encourage abuses and, in the charity world, places self-gain over philanthropy.

    “I think it’s a breach of fiduciary responsibility to pay fund-raisers on commission,” said Cindy Darrison, a professor at the George H. Heyman Jr. Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising at New York University.

    DUMMOCRETINS are always on the edge of sleazy when it comes to politics. That’s why they scream and should over the minutia the press delivers against conservatives to cover their litany of scummy political practices!
