RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Rare moment of sincere humanity from Bank Shill Joe Biden

Re: "Bank shill"

The banking industry is centered in Deleware. Deleware has the most liberal interest laws in the U.S., so every credit card company is headquartered there.

I used to work for MBNA many years ago, before they were bought out by Bank of America. The interest laws are such that they can literally charge any interest rate. MBNA at the time was the largest of the credit card companies (technically they call themselves a bank). And Biden up until he became vice president was nicknamed "the Senator from MBNA" for the obvious level of dominant influence that company had in the state.

I might hold Biden's show of compassion in higher regard, if he didn't represent an administration that lists military veterans as a security risk that need to be investigated. While simultaneously refusing to identify Al Qaida and other islamic terrorists as terrorists.

That underscores the most fundamental lack of regard for our soldiers and veterans, from Obama on down in the current White House.
Regardless of the sympathetic words they give lip service to.

"I promise you!"

Wow, dude. The guy might be political scum, but he's still human. He lost someone in his life, and shared it with other grieving Americans. Come down out of the pulpit of rage for a moment. You can't argue with his sentiment...

...are you agreeing with me? Is this what it looks like?

On that aspect, yes.

And to some degree on sharing of the earned wealth, sharing it with employees who have earned it. Not to be confused with Obama and the Democratic party's recent vision of more a decidedly anti-capitalist and overtly socialist "redisribution of wealth".

And before you accuse me of paranoia, Chris O'Donnel who interviewed this guy a few months ago angrily came out and said on MSNBC: "Yeah. I'm a socialist."
NEWSWEEK likewise has celebrated what they termed the death of capitalism and the rise of socialism. As have THE ECONOMIST and others.

I'm sympathetic to the fact his family died in a tragic accident 40 years ago.

But here he is wearing his heart on his sleeve and exploiting it for political points.

Likewise, I felt Obama was most sincere in the moments --pushing through Obamacare-- where he expressed that there was nothing more frustrating than while going through the grief of his mother dying, that he had to haggle simultaneously with her insurance "having to prove it was not a previous condition, to get her coverage". But it turned out --THE ROOTS OF OBAMA'S RAGE, Dinesh D'Souza, page 75-- that Obama never dealt with his mother while she was dying, never visited her, never even attended her funeral.

Also like the 9-11 widows who became celebrities campaigning for John Kerry and bashing Bush during the 2004 election. When people choose to publicize the more raw details of their private lives for political purposes, I am suspicious at least, and often nauseous at the spectacle.

Well, if you're right, then looks like Socialism is the next big global shift. It was inevitable, as change must naturally occur. Otherwise, the power-base of one people always stays the same, and culture dies of stagnation. Agree with the sentiment or not, but it's a fact it happens. So, "Democracy" as we have come to know it....or rather Capitalism, as is a more honest description of our global power-structure....will decline into history. For awhile, any way. As history and culture seem to be more cyclical than evolving, Capitalism will find a way to live again.

But, before I accuse you of paranoia (hold on, let me head back to 1999 ) let me just say that you won't see armed goons coming door to door to your house demanding payment to a "Liberal Overlord". That's fantasy-Right-nonsense. You'll see a strangling of western dominance business-wise, with a rise of secularism or non-Christian religions. The old ways fall, and new ones arise. Not an endorsement so much as an observation...

I will send you actual money if you never post those words, or talk about Obamanomics ever again. For the love of....have you ever read anything else of interest? Do you get ALL of your "facts" and beliefs from single sources like that? Come on David!

Sentiment is not sincerity. I still remember when he faked a voice break during his debate with Palin. It was so obviously and disgustingly staged, it just solidified my unwillingness to believe anything he says.

I actually often cite articles from the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, PBS News Hour, fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Orlando Sentinel and many other ostensibly liberal sources, in addition to conservative sources like National Review, Wall Street Journal, Townhall, Daily Caller, and, of course, Fox News.
But nice attempted smear, that I allegedly get all my "facts and beliefs from single sources". I never even except periodically watched Fox News until the fall of 2008, when liberal media coverage got so obscenely one-sided that it drove me to Fox. And I still watch as much CNN, PBS, MSNBC and the other networks as I can stomach. Sometimes I actually think they give superior coverage than Fox does. For example, in August 2008, Fox was focused on the John Edwards scandal, while CNN rightly gave a majority of coverage to the war in former-Soviet Georgia, an event that like the Balkan conflict in 1914, could have exploded into World War III. A bit more important than John Edwards' illicit sex life.

I source them because they're good books, well-researched with lots of information. Some others I cite often are the last 6 books by Pat Buchanan. Citing facts that are selectively omitted by the Obama/DNC Ministry of Truth liberal media.

Another book that sources some of the same information as Carney's OBAMANOMICS is Michelle Malkin's CULTURE OF CORRUPTION. And call Malkin a partisan, but at least she wrote articles and books that were equally critical of government corruption in the W. Bush years. And won awards for them.

Likewise, Glenn Beck, who is constantly demonized by the Left as a Republican partisan, was equally critical of W. Bush's expanding government, globalist erosion of sovereignty, and trampling on the Constitution.

WHY THE LEFT HATES AMERICA by Dan Flynn is another I've cited, that deconstructs liberal myths, citing the true facts. (Why are liberals so eager to believe the worst about their own country, even when the true facts disprove those blindly anti-American notions? )

BIAS by Bernard Goldberg, written by a 30-plus year CBS veteran and self-described liberal (although 11 years later, he has turned more conservative because the Democrats have jumped to the far-left) is a nice overview of the quantifiable examples and polls of the media's liberal bias.
SLANDER by Ann Coulter, while well sourced and beyond reproach in its points, is admittedly conservative-partisan in its focus. But correct in its facts nonetheless, particularly about coverage of the 2000 Bush/Gore election, and the fact that conservative books sell better, but liberal publishers basically slum them out to a ghetto of conservative publishers, despite their consistent topping of the N Y times bestseller list.


A few books I can think of offhand that i've cited in the recent past. I've also read books about W W II, THE RAPE OF NANKING by Iris Chang, THE SEIGE (about the Israeli conflict) by former U.N. Ambassador Conor Cruise O'Brien, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER by Robert Payne, and a variety of other non-fiction and fiction. I enjoyed the Solomon Kane stories by Robert E. Howard, and collections by Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison, among others. I recently re-read the FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON novel by Dan Keyes, when I found out he lives in my city. I just missed him at a booksigning.

There's a book I'd like to read next by Aaron Klein titled RED ARMY, about the inflitration by the radical Left into the Democrat party, and its threat to our Constitutional government, capitalism and sovereignty. Klein, all told is a chief investigative writer for WorldNetDaily, which means you would flippantly dismiss whatever he says. I might too after I read it, but I'll evaluate his facts for myself.

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT AMERICA by Dinesh D'Souza, that --like Flynn's book above-- defends not only the United States against slanted liberal criticism, but defends with facts the broader whole of Western culture as well.


Really, I think no matter what source I quote aside from MSNBC or OWS/communist blogs would meet your smell test as providing "facts". So I'm not overly concerned about your partisan far-left contempt for well-researched conservative sources.

I frankly don't get the impression that you read anything. You just talk out your ass with liberal vitriol, and then have the audacity to proclaim it in your posts as FACT.

Hardly. Not even close.

I sourced all of my facts from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol 1.

The Atom has the ability to shrink to incredible sizes while retaining his full mass and density. This makes him a formidable combatant.

FACT.

Dave can't stand to have his beliefs questioned on any level.

FACT.

He ignores a fully-reasoned post and focuses on attempting to validate his myopic political viewpoints.

FACT.

He has no original thought, and is incapable of logical reasoning on any level without external talking points from his morally-bankrupt ideological regime.

FACT.

And he "wonders" why I pick on him for being such an uneducated redneck...

Yeah, cause Palin never did anything manipulative...

BTW, are you allowed to talk about your Commander-In-Chief's 2nd-in-Command like that? Bit treasonous...

On the subject of treasonous...




...I just thought I'd remind everyone what you've said previously about our soldiers and veterans.
