Your contempt for the U.S. seems almost pathological.

Your contempt for the U.S. seems almost pathological.
Hello again,
Looks to me like the right wing is skitzo... You got Jindal talking about NOT protecting the rich boys and their toys. You got Bill Kristol saying tax the rich...
Then you got Laura Ingraham saying that the way to beat the Democrats is NOT become Democrats... It's to be even MORE CONSERVATIVE...
I'll betcha you guys are more Laura types, huh?
excon
Yup . There are some Repubics in a panic. News to them you can't out Democrat Democrats... so why try ?
Manners toward our allies, what is that about? We understood manners towards our allies way back, we saw how McArthur operated in WWII. We have seen your manners many times. I saw some of it the other day when Evita referred to our Foreign Minister and Defence Minister in their official capacity not by their titles but by their names and not even a Mr in sight. Our society is a classless society and so every tall poppy much be brought to reality..Quote:

Got to admit ;that's a good point. He was an A$$ Hole .Quote:

Ah, so to be friends we need to be a$$holes toward each other? That explains a lot.
We can see which direction the left is going to go this year... same old, same old...
The Democratic senate that hasn't passed a budget in 3 years has no plans to pass one this time around.
Wasn't that what Obama ran against, more of the same?

raising taxes is a higher priority for her than passing what would be the first budget in four years
Patty Murray must've been sampling that legal weed .
The truth is that the President has no intention to do budget balancing with the extra $1.6 trillion he wants to confiscate. He just wants to give constituents more candy.
You know this how?Quote:

What you don't understand speech is it is a local traint to take the mickey out of your friends. We don't run around patting people on the back, or as we say ,pissing in their pocket, we will tell you when you are going the wrong way.Quote:

You hate McDonald's but you support over 780 locations. You hate our foreign policy but you're taking Hillary on a nice little wine tasting. You hate our products but are more than happy to ship us your crappy wine. You want us, you need us, you love us, admit it next time you feel like meddling. And have a Big Mac.Quote:

We can be pleasant to visitors and our wines are world class, so if you don't like them it is a matter of taste. I think Hilary might have been amazed we had a military manufacturing industry.We understand markets just as you do, we would like to see less of you in ours, just as we would like to see less of you in our part of the world. Any threats that exist here are those you have manufactured and exploited for your own gain. You wanted a free trade agreement with us don't complain if it means our products wind up on your shelvesQuote:

That your NEWS reports on that is... I've seen so many cases where stories were fabricated or distorted over the years In the US, in Europe and the UK... I consider most journalists about as trustworthy as a used car salesman.Quote:

Get used to it.The Obots plan is to pivot east.
Naturally, the part where Australia supports nealy 800 McDonald's went right over your head.Quote:

Tom don't be niaive, our government doesn't know its arse from its apex. If they can park you in some remote spot, what do they care. It's development they don't have to fund. If Japan wants you, go to Japan, but I've heard you have worn out your welcome on Okinawa. If Korea wants you, go to Korea. What you don't get is your lifestyle and your culture isn't acceptable in some parts of the world. Go to Pakistan, they would like more of your culture. I think the East has had just about enough of you, concentrate on your own problems, we will let you know when there is one in this part of the world you can help with. How are the people of Haiti by the way, how many have you lifted out of poverty?
Vegimite didn't go over too well outside of Australia...
Those stores as you call them come at the cost of many local small businesses but the availability of a car park and a tiolet make a difference. You want to know what part of Australia might be customers of McDonalds, those in a hurry and those who have no palate for something better. The last time I ate in a McDonalds it was to try something new on their menu and it convinced me not to go back again, it was absolute crapQuote:

Oh yeah?
And then we have a Denny's franchisee in Florida that will be adding an Obamacare surcharge and making most of its workers part time, Papa Johns, Jimmy Johns and others already plan on reducing employee hours likewise. It's just beginning...Quote:
Earlier this week I was disheartened to learn about the imminent closure of Il Mondo Vecchio, an acclaimed Denver, Colorado-area salumeria that has been producing a wide variety of artisanal cured meats—including Italian-style dry sausages and whole muscle salumi—since 2009.
Il Mondo Vecchio’s owner, Mark DeNittis—who’s followed the group I lead, Keep Food Legal, for some time on Twitter—reached out to me about his company’s plight after I tweeted about the pending closure of a Scottish bangery. (I don't know if that's what a Scottish sausage plant is called, but there's no doubt that's what it should be called.)
In the case of the Scottish sausage plant, Freshlink Foods, EU bureaucrats decided that the 30-year-old producer would have to comply with new EU cold-storage regulations.
One plant worker speaking to the British website Food Manufacture—presumably one of the 144 workers who will lose their jobs over the new regulation—characterized the costly new requirement as akin to mandating “a Rolls Royce engine in a Ford Escort.”
Il Mondo Vecchio's problem is a similar one—regulations run amok—according to a release prepared by DeNittis and his co-owner, Gennaro DeSantis, last week.
"In August, the USDA imposed additional requirements on Il Mondo Vecchio’s production methods. After two months of sharing information and collaboration back and forth between Il Mondo Vecchio and the USDA as well as various attempts to modify the production methods," the owners announced, "Il Mondo Vecchio has determined that the impact of the regulatory requirements on dry cured sausage products was detrimental to the quality of the product and therefore, Mark and Gennaro are forced to close the[ir] doors."
This conflict between modern regulations and traditional methods is something DeNittis thought for a time he could navigate.
"We adhere to Old World techniques of natural process while following New World regulations,” Il Mondo Vecchio’s website states.
When it comes to Old World methods, I think it would be hard to find a better example of a traditional, conscientious, sustainable, and local producer than Il Mondo Vecchio.
They won't blame their faulty policies. They will blame greed .
Yep.Quote:

So regulations that protect consumers, and tax payers is a bad thing because it hurts profits? So BP was a victim of the government regulations?
Now Denny's doesn't want to give it employees insurance and that a good thing? I think it petty pandering by lazy business owner who refuse to explore better options.
You guy just don't quit!! Its your business model that's broken, NOT the regulations. But you can't tell that to those that worship MONEY!!
LOL, right on cue.Quote:

A dozen female members of the House staunchly defended U.N. ambassador Susan Rice against Republican criticism over her remarks on the deadly Sept. 11 Libya attack, suggesting the GOP lawmakers' comments were racist and sexist.
"It is a shame that anytime something goes wrong, they pick on women and minorities," Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, the next chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told reporters Friday at a Capitol Hill news conference.
Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham earlier this week called Rice untrustworthy and unqualified to be the nation's top diplomat if President Barack Obama chooses her to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The two vowed to block any Senate confirmation if she is nominated.
The House women, a majority of them Africa-American, lashed out at McCain and Graham and demanded that they retract their criticism.
"To batter this woman because they don't feel they have the ability to batter President Obama is something we the women are not going to stand by and watch," said Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis. "Their feckless and reckless speculation is unworthy of their offices as senators."
If you ask me that's all the more reason for Republicans to scrutinize Rice... and by the way ladies, one of those racist, sexist men is a lady, Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
When you guys stop crying, maybe we will too. Need a hug?
So, four dead Americans and an administration coverup means nothing to to you either.
hey listen just because those deaths mean nothing to you has no bearing on the rest of us who mourn them.Quote:
