Yeah, he was reaching for a reason. lol Thats rich.



Funny, in other threads you malign the rich as not paying their share. But Joe kennedy's money allowed him to have kids that didn'thave to work regular jobs and could pursue other things. Nice double standards, Bfgrn.

You know what WB, Joe Kennedy and his family paid MORE than their fair share to this country. Do you agree?

Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Jr. (July 25, 1915 – August 12, 1944)
Killed in action WWII

Interesting. So if some rich CEO lost 3 family members to wars or violence, we will give them a pass and say they paid "MORE than their fair share"?

First, who is giving anyone a PASS? Second; all 3 brothers; Joe Jr, Jack and Robert Kennedy died serving their country.

Any Gold Star mother and father who loose a son serving our country paid "MORE than their fair share". Joe and Rose paid "MORE than their fair share" X 3...

I mentioned your double standard as far as rich people go, and your answer was that they had paid "more than their fair share". So if some rich CEO loses 3 kids or siblings to war or violence, you will give them a pass?

If we're talking about Anthony Weiner, he lied about HIS private life. THAT part of his life is NOT YOURS, it is his. You really can't absorb anything can you? You are the type of ideologue who will only have an epiphany when it is YOUR private life that is invaded.

Is there something about the title "PUBLIC SERVANT" that you don't comprehend? Anthony Weiner represents The People, and his "private life" is every bit as much of their concern as his policies and viewpoints. When you SERVE THE PEOPLE... you don't have a "private life" ....you give that up, it's a sacrifice you make to SERVE THE PEOPLE! Fortunately, Mr. Weiner will soon no longer be a public servant, and he can be as perverted as he likes in his private life, and no one will give a shit! As for now, he is a member of Congress, and held to a higher standard regarding his "private life!"

you still have a private life. certaintly details will be more public than others, but you still have a private life. serving the public does not mean they are entitled to know every single thing about your life.

bfgrn just defends anyone dem...his masters however disagree and felt weiner should resign

Well guess what, I don't have any masters and the Democrats calling for his resignation are spineless and wrong.

Horseshit Dixie. Their PUBLIC life is our business. It's really ironic; so many of you right wingers 'claim' to be libertarians. That is more horseshit. You are a bunch of collectivists and communists.

 

[Guns Guns Guns]

He did open up the box and touch it, so yeah in theory you could call it a used rifle. LOL

Is that what you called it in this thread?

I picked up the gun at the Remington World Headquarters just up the street in Madison, NC. A buddy of mine works there and arranged the sale. He laughed when I told him about the .308 claim, remarked: "the gun would blow up!"

I'm sure he does, but as an VIP guest, I met him in the lobby.

I never said it was. All I could see from the front office was more offices, and I wasn't that curious. Besides, we had better things to talk about.

And no, you ain't getting his phone number.

To Sol: he works at the world headquarters, and got me the gun at the VIP price. I was the VIP, not him, duh.

Obviously, we VIPs can work around laws that constrain you common folk.

No, you DON'T still have a private life, not when you become a Congressperson. And yes, the people who elect you have every right to know any detail of your private life, because it says a whole lot about who you are as a person, your character as an individual.

Horseshit Dixie. Their PUBLIC life is our business. It's really ironic; so many of you right wingers 'claim' to be libertarians. That is more horseshit. You are a bunch of collectivists and communists.

No horseshit, their PRIVATE life is our business too! These people are elected to represent us, why do you think their private life is not to be considered, when selecting someone to represent us? In my opinion, that is more important than their PUBLIC life... anyone can put on airs or create a nice facade!

 

[WinterBorn]

Well, since I have seen you belittle and malign the rich repeatedly, and somehow the Kennedys escaped that, I would say that you are giving them a pass.

Shouldn't they pay extremely high taxes to carry the weight for the poor?

Yes, the Kennedys should pay higher taxes. I doubt they would disagree. But either you don't understand my beliefs on wealth or maybe you just can't comprehend nuance. I have nothing against people making lots and lots of money. I have said this before. There is one qualification...you can't get rich by making other people poor. That is what many corporations are doing today. Every polluter is getting rich by making other people poor.

When President Kennedy said these words, he was including his own family; "with privilege goes responsibility"

"Many years ago, Woodrow Wilson said, what good is a political party unless it is serving a great national purpose? And what good is a private college or university unless it is serving a great national purpose? The Library being constructed today, this college, itself--all of this, of course, was not done merely to give this school's graduates an advantage, an economic advantage, in the life struggle. It does do that. But in return for that, in return for the great opportunity which society gives the graduates of this and related schools, it seems to me incumbent upon this and other schools' graduates to recognize their responsibility to the public interest.

Privilege is here, and with privilege goes responsibility. And I think, as your president said, that it must be a source of satisfaction to you that this school's graduates have recognized it. I hope that the students who are here now will also recognize it in the future. Although Amherst has been in the forefront of extending aid to needy and talented students, private colleges, taken as a whole, draw 50 percent of their students from the wealthiest 10 percent of our Nation. And even State universities and other public institutions derive 25 percent of their students from this group. In March 1962, persons of 18 years or older who had not completed high school made up 46 percent of the total labor force, and such persons comprised 64 percent of those who were unemployed. And in 1958, the lowest fifth of the families in the United States had 4 1/2 percent of the total personal income, the highest fifth, 44 1/2 percent. There is inherited wealth in this country and also inherited poverty. And unless the graduates of this college and other colleges like it who are given a running start in life--unless they are willing to put back into our society, those talents, the broad sympathy, the understanding, the compassion--unless they are willing to put those qualities back into the service of the Great Republic, then obviously the presuppositions upon which our democracy are based are bound to be fallible."

If I don't understand your beliefs, it is your own fault. You have repeatedly been asked simple questions that you refuse to answer.

Your typical nonsensical rant about getting rich making others poor is amusing but inaccurate. Most corporations are profit driven, but do not make people poor. For the most part poverty is a result of bad choices on the part of the individual, not some distant evil corporation oppressing them.

That's right Dixie, you right wing fanatics wanted a 'purity test' that Ronald Reagan couldn't have passed...

Hey Dixie, what would you consider a more egregious lie:

1) A Congressman lying about his sex life

2) A Congressman lying about death panels to destroy health care reform that would help millions of Americans?

More with the "but someone else lied too!!" nonsense.

The rule for elected officials should be simple, if you knowingly lie to the public you lose your job. No gray area and no bullshit.

If you can't comprehend, that is your problem WB. I have answered every question. Again, you can't comprehend.

Why is it OK to get rich by making other people poor? You like to 'talk' about ethics, I guess that is just bullshit.
