Comments by "" (@RedXlV) on "Obama's Muslim Problem Bigger Than Romney's Mormon Problem" video.
No, that was never an argument that OWS made. And Obama never said that business owners didn't build their businesses. He said that they didn't build the infrastructure that made their businesses possible. And that's absolutely undeniable. The highways, the Internet, police and fire departments, these are all made by the government.

It IS crazy to think that Obama is a Muslim. And yes, it is outlandish to think that somebody in his "direct lineage" being Muslim means he's a Muslim too.
1
The gold standard is idiotic. Especially since there simply isn't enough gold in the world to sustain an economy the size of ours. And only a moron would call Social Security a Ponzi scheme.
1
The fact that he was a US citizen doesn't change the fact that he was an enemy soldier. And he was most certainly on the battlefield, as a member of al-Qaeda.
1
Ron Paul supports going back to the gold standard (a stupid, archaic idea), thinks Social Security is unconstitutional, wants to massively cut taxes and reduce government size to the point that it would no longer be functional, and opposes the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Oh, and his long-time ties with racists.
1
Yes, Ron Paul DOES oppose the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. He voted against extending the Voting Rights Act in 2006, and he claims that the Civil Rights Act is unconstitutional. And those racist newsletters he wrote say he is a racist.
1
A flat tax means vastly increasing the tax burden on the poor, the people who can least afford it. All while reducing taxes on the rich, those who can MOST afford to pay higher taxes.
1
Just because Ron Paul claims that the Civil Rights Act was bad for blacks doesn't make it so. As with most things, he's wrong about this.
1
I'm happy to call myself a liberal, and it's conservatism that doesn't work. Obama is a moderate, and you're a lunatic to deny it. Your pathetic delusions that he wants to "go full-blown Commie on us" are just more proof of your stupidity.
1
No, the rich do not pay anywhere near their fair share. And the bottom 49% do NOT "pay ZERO taxes". That's just another right-wing lie. And a flat tax would be one of the LEAST fair forms of taxation.
1
Yes, and the difference between the capital gains tax and the income tax is one of the worst problems with the tax code. Capital gains should, if anything, be taxed at a HIGHER rate than income from actual labor.
1
Labor unions are the reason we have a middle class, instead of just the rich and the poor. Which is of course why Republican want to destroy the unions, so we can go back to just having the rich and the poor.
1
The civil rights movement wasn't meant to "improve racial relations". It was meant to guarantee blacks equal rights. Those are not the same thing.
1
Clinton didn't "move to the center" as a result of the "Republican Revolution". That would have been impossible. Clinton was already at the center before he even got elected. And the problem isn't spending, it's that Bush WASTED all that money on worthless things like tax cuts for the rich and pointless wars. Had he doubled the debt but spent the money on something that actually benefits America, it would be completely different.
1
What's up with all your straw man arguments? You can't come up with anything based in fact?
1
Sure, "just as progressive as ObamaCare". Meaning that both are LESS progressive than the health care proposal that RICHARD NIXON proposed in 1974. Again, Clinton was in the center all along. And the overwhelming majority of the Bush tax cuts have gone to the rich.
1
Your point is that you're a liar. Also, Congress passed a law making it illegal to move any Gitmo prisoners to US soil. And no, Obama is not ending welfare reform. Don't believe what Hush Bimbo and Fox Spews tell you.
1
Ron Paul is one of the last people we need in office.
1
Indonesia isn't anywhere near Africa, you moron.
1
Thus, you confirm yourself to be a complete idiot. Obama is absolutely not a Muslim, and anybody who votes against him in November is a fool.
1
Are you trying to pretend that they don't have unions in Japan and Germany? The reason that American cars were "made like shit" for years was the corporate management, not the unions.
1
"But Europe does it!" is not an argument we've ever used, moron. And the problem in Europe right now is that they've responded to the global recession by implementing the same austerity programs that Republicans want to implement in America. Austerity never works, but they're doing it anyway, with predictably bad results.
1
I've provided the FACT that Congress passed a law prohibiting the transfer of Gitmo prisoners to the US. You just pretend it never happened, as if your denial makes it so.
1
Everybody with a brain (which apparently excludes you) credits Obama with job creation. And a fiscally conservative president would have kept us on the path of massive job LOSSES.
1
So on top of everything else, you're a Birther? Thanks for confirming your stupidity. Obama was not born in Africa and he never lived in Africa, you moron.
1
As usual, you deny all facts and ignore reality.
1
The "theory of evolution" is science's current explanation for HOW evolution occurs. The fact that it occurs at all is, on the other hand, undeniable fact.
1
You said that he's more likely to be a Muslim than a Christian, which is an absolutely insane thing to believe.
1
13% on $44 million in income is what Mitt Romney paid in 2010, according to his own tax returns that he released.
1
Fiscal conservatism is incompatible with job creation. Unless you mean the jobs created in China and India via outsourcing.
1
"Due process"? This was not a law enforcement action, it was war. You don't hold trials to decide whether enemy soldiers can be shot on the battlefield.
