Can Someone Answer a Question?

[FarangBa]

Can Someone Answer a Question? Because the White House Will Not:


- Why would you want to overwhelm the system with multiple bills to fundamentally change the way America works... all at the same time?

- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?


- Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?

- Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?

- Are the President's advisers working to better the country or something else?

- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

- What roles do they have in crafting bills?

- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?


-The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

- If the President did not "really" know the terrorist Bill Ayers that well, does he know that a senior board member for The Apollo Alliance is the co-founder (along with Bill Ayers) of the Weather Underground (the terrorist organization which bombed city buildings and assasinated police officers).

- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?



- Do the czars have power?

- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become the Green Jobs special advisor (czar) to the president?

-Why is the FBI no longer utilized to properly vet a czar or advisor like they were in the past?

- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs and criminal history when he named him special advisor?

- Should an actual self-avowed communist have the ear of the President of the United States?


- Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?

- Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves exactly?

- Does the President know that Mark Lloyd is on videotape praising Cezar Chavez' Communist Revolution in Venezuela? Does he know that he blames United States involvement and privately owned media outlets for the failure of the revolution's first attempt?

- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?

-Mark Lloyd has publicly stated his plan for privately owned stations: those who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine — that will go to support NPR:

- What will be the definition of "public interest"?

- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?

- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?



- Why do we need a civilian force that is better funded and trained than the United States Military... (which just received half a billion dollars)?

- Who is posing a threat to us that the U.S. Military cannot/should not handle?

- Who will this "force" be made up of?

- Who is the real enemy?

- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

Are you kidding me?!

You are either a) dumb as hell, or b) blind as shit (or possibly c which is a combination of the 2) if you think "anti-capitalisim" is a WRONG thing. Its not wrong to be "anti-capatilist" as you put it. Capitalisim only encourages greed, and "profit", which directly effects the quality and safety of our products as consumers by cutting corners on ways to manufactor, and produce "cheaper" (more profitable) products. There has to be constant over-sight for these things, simply b/c of "Capitalisim"/"Marginalism". So your ability to freely think outside of what you've been taught, is minimal at best it seems. Reading shit like this is ludacris.

Capitalism built the computer your using to complain about capitalism. Captialism is not about greed but about self-interest. Self-interest is a reliable aspect of human nature. It is not synonymous with greed, avarice, and a whole slough of other nasty words you'd assign to it.

Pure capitalism does not exist - and shouldn't. We need to regulate markets and products. We have government agencies, private agencies and parasitic plaintiff's attorneys who guard against the wilder abuses you ascribe to the system. The fact is that it works better than communism and socialism. The fact is that capitalism built the USA and the wealthiest society to ever exist on the planet. Capitalism lead to the most numerous and diverse scientific acheivements in human history. etc etc etc

I understand you see capitalism as bad.. but it employs hundreds of millions of Americans, allows them to have a life of remarkable quality and help them prepare for retirement. It works.

What's your preferred superior alternative?

Just an FYI... DoD is...wait for it....government!

But the DoD's tax dollars paid for it... private industry built it

example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy/Marine_Corps_Intranet

I spent two years reading documents relating to that clusterfuck...

But... please see above. I do not believe in pure capitalism. I believe in the need for government regulation and private regulation and I recognize the need for the plaintiff's bar; the issue isn't whether but how much, where and when. Further, there are some situations where the only actor with the capital and wherewithal to act is the government. That's simply true and I have never claimed otherwise.

Yeah, but ignore the fact that private industry grew the internet to what it is today from the few universities that were part of ARPANET.

I don't have time to get in a pissing match with you but the internet was created via the government. There would be no "rivate industry grew the internet to what it is today" without said government.

So let's all just run along and continue along with the line that "government is the problem"

RIP Reagan....too bad it wasn't before his first term

But the application would just be another way for military units to communicate if not for private idustry. As such its importance would be greatly dimished to the remainder of the world. However, that's not what happened...

hmmm - from wiki

The earliest ideas of a computer network intended to allow general communication between users of various computers were formulated by J.C.R. Licklider of Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) in August 1962, in a series of memos discussing his "Intergalactic Computer Network" concept. These ideas contained almost everything that the Internet is today.


BNN = BBN Technologies (originally Bolt, Beranek and Newman) is a high-technology company which provides research and development services.


Much like the Government does not build stealthbombers... it uses tax dollars to pay private industry to do it for government

I guess if you don't believe me you don't believe me but don't go the next step to misrepresent my comments.

I think you mistook what i wrote as me "hating" capitalism? However, I did not speak specifically againest capitalism, but more so to Farangba's point that people who are some how "anti-capitalist" dont have any place being in a white house position. I was just driving the point home that if you dont some how support "capitalism", that doesnt make you a terrorist.

Word! Nail... Head!

Also, governments are needed for some things.. Like National Security. Although the DOD is absolutely necessary, it doesn't mean we need to add more agencies to screw up and waste a bunch more money.

What?

9/11 Truther's are anti-American idiots who believe in a conspiracy that doesn't exist.

I'm asking questions. I absolutely LOVE how everyone is showing their true colors. OUTSTANDING

I didn't say terrorist.. I'm talking about Communism.

And NO, we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT need any anti-capitalists running anything in a CAPITALIST NATION!

Strange how it seems I needed to point that out.

so if you don't believe in pure capitalism are you an anti capitalist?
