I think this accurately encapsulates the right wing hypocrisy of wealth and greed perfectly...don't you? The republican shall be defined as: An imbalanced individual who believes that the white male Christian God should be the only object of worship. He believes that power and wealth should remain in the hands of 1% of the world's population while the remaining 99% starve, that health care should be privatized so the poor can't afford basic medication and they, the elite, should receive the best of coverage. They believe that a rape victim living on welfare should be forced to care for a baby she didn't even ask for, but remain "on her own" as to not be a burden to society. They represent and support supports the rights of the unborn, but won't fund stem cell research that could help the millions who are already here. They would be the first one to protest abortion rights, and the first one willing to take a life through capital punishment. Someone who espouses personal freedom, and then tries to pass constitutional amendments to restrict it. They are threatened by government surplus but unfazed by government deficits (unless a democrat is in the White House). They are pro-business but anti-citizen, someone who wants to take away the helping hand, after they've made it to safety. Someone who holds a cross in one hand and tries to burn it with the other, praising God while collecting all the green with one hand, and giving the finger to the majority of society with the other. They are great men, like Ann Coulter. They are moral role models for family values, like Newt Gingrich. George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr...one who has ties going back to the Nazi regime, and the Bin Ladens, and the other who was born into wealth, invades countries for no reason, and kills Americans for profit. In short....wealthy, spoiled and greedy little brats, that think their way is the only way to live, and everything and everyone else that doesn't worship the almighty dollar, drink champagne, play poker and lavish in excess, are all anti-American losers.
The end of the PNAC organization By the end of 2006, PNAC was "reduced to a voice-mail box and a ghostly website", with "a single employee" "left to wrap things up", according to the BBC News. According to Tom Barry, "The glory days of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) quickly passed."In 2006, Gary Schmitt, former executive director of the PNAC, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and director of its program in Advanced Strategic Studies, stated that PNAC had come to a natural end: When the project started, it was not intended to go forever. That is why we are shutting it down. We would have had to spend too much time raising money for it and it has already done its job. We felt at the time that there were flaws in American foreign policy, that it was neo-isolationist. We tried to resurrect a Reaganite policy. Our view has been adopted. Even during the Clinton administration we had an effect, with Madeleine Albright [then secretary of state] saying that the United States was 'the indispensable nation'. But our ideas have not necessarily dominated. We did not have anyone sitting on Bush's shoulder. So the work now is to see how they are implemented.

Lehigh- I think I know why tomc is so vehemently opposed to people who have more than he does & who spend a little enjoying themselves...it's less money he can take to subsidize his own failures.
Case, what case? You have a case? What is in your case? Let me guess: NOTHING because you are broke NO NO Musnt use BAD Words )!
It must be the "gettin' buzzed" time in Lehigh's world. Keep guzzling. In another half hour, you'll feel completely guiltless.
Wait, I thought we were allowed to use profanity in threads that were completely ****ing worthless. Ya know, like this one!
"Wealthy" is one of many words tomc uses to show his disgust of everyone who has worked harder, achieved more, acted more responsibly, etc than he has- which actually is virtually every person in the country. He may call you wealthy, greedy or 100 more things but it all means the same thing envy.
Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts.
To me, wealth is defined by having 3 kids that I'm proud of and that love me back. Healthy enough for maybe another 40 years. No real regrets. Loads of experience. A wonderful wife that shares mutual respect and love with me. I wont be the old dude at the nursing home wishing I had more fun when I was young. Thats wealth.
Years of sharing the planet and subjecting my kid's future to people with deranged mentalities...like you Sparky.
When your kids are old enough to realize how ****ed up you are and they tell you, will you still believe you are the sane one? My guess is they will check you into the cuckoo's nest!
