Hmm...That's an easy one. Fact checks on what H says...checks out.

Facts on what J says...about thirty percent. Just because you say it doesn't make it a fact. That is a fact.

Propaganda is propaganda no matter what you call it.

If a Treaty is outdated, Congress has the right to over turn it.

I look at my memories of working around a good part of this land. About a dozen trips from 78-2006. Those memories tell me, basically, that many people in my travels feelings can be summed up as this, ''Its a broken promised land.'' No Country's History, would ever be considered perfect, not Belgium's or America's. But over all, here in Belgium, at the local shops of people from all over the world, to the Cafe's I compete with some fine 3-cushion players, the smiles on faces, are not the frustrated smiles and laughs, recalled in America. Lots of people here ask, ''What's wrong with America, its so rich, yet has all these wars going on?'' That question answers itself.

I know where Lennon was coming from when John said, ''We don't have to destroy everything about America. We have foundations we can build on.'' I don't even think we need to destroy Wall Street. Many are looking for a way for it to serve Society, with things like investing in green sustainable energy.-until we do something like that, Capitalism is only serving the few at the top. (They could still make their money.) Governor Jerry Brown has an interesting thing going on in California: they have 2 classes of Companies, the kind of Company that acts responsible, to society, instead of just its share holders, get some breaks.-in this far too complicated world, things like that are starts forward.

Right Doofus. I supply ample sources and analysis from Nobel prize winning economists.. Heraclitis just makes statements which he backs up with nothing but his past statements.

Good luck with that logic..

I wish I had packed my Tom Paine's Common Sense. The people who Tom said would do more damage to this country, are just about complete with their mission. Well I was wrong about you being a Fox News Tea Party. But I'd give 100-1 you are a Koch Brothers Tea Party person. Who are the same kind of people Paine saw back then. I've surfed across plenty of sane TP people, who know OWS is upset about the same kind of bs. They'll have a message together by next election.

Oh Jafo, you must also be an Ann Coulter fan, who said this, ''We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.'' How that form of religion has come so far since the Spanish, on horseback killed 5-6000 Incas and then had the Church preach the good news to who was left. With over 700 military bases around the world, we can see who wants to rule it.

Actually, I am not. I have never been, and if you have been watching the news lately, I would think most Libertarians feel the same way.

Oh the 700 military bases, where put in for that Islamaphobia stuff in the video. Its a fair comparison to throw into today's reality of the corporate empire our soldiers defend. The same kind of crap that happened to the Incas, for your capitalistic religion.

No one will deny that capitalism helped build this land. What you deny is what Unions had to do with improving the quality of life, in that process.

To me, someone who calls JP Morgan a Socialist, ain't all there. Even if it did turn out that the Rothchilds owned most of JP Morgan.

You haven't been reading this forum very close then.

They may improved the quality of life for its MEMBERS, but it has disenfranchised and starved the poor in the process.

The video was had much fear about Islam wanting to rule the world. 700 military bases around the world is proof of who wants to rule it.

Tell me, why didn't we just gas all the Iraqis and then rename the country "New Texas"? Wouldn't that have been logical if you are right?
