Teachers must HATE AMERICA!?!?!?!?!

Including yourself.

Kids just like to be rebellious against any form of control. Welcome to earth.

Why is it someone always brings up Rush Limbaugh whenever someone is conservative? Maybe we should bring up Al Gore and how he made Billions of dollars off of American citizens from the bull shit global warming scare he spewed.

I'm a libertarian and guys like Ron Paul aren't looking quite so crazy these days. I guess that tells you something about the state of affairs.

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. I'll admit, I voted for Obama. Probably the worst choice of my life, or at least it's up there. In hindsight, Ron Paul should have gotten my vote.

The current climate is that we're undermining our own country with apologetics. To somehow think that we as a whole are this overbearing, race-hating group of white capitalists is a bunch of sissy crap. We are a large group of multi-national people that strive to be great and create a better place for our kids. We are the greatest nation on earth and help countlesss countries around the world economically and with military protection or help. We have absolutely nothing to apologize to the world for.

The United States of America was created to get away from the very thing we are now becoming, a heavily-taxed nanny state full of political correctness but no real social or economic sense. We are quickly burying ourselves in debt with absolutely nothing to show for it and one day we'll wake up and wonder why we, like most of Europe, have 60% tax and $9/gallon gas. The answer isn't to drive 400# shitbox cars, the answer is to quit bowing down to the socialist environmentalist whackjobs and let good old money decide what the American public wants to drive.

Our government is there to protect us from foreign enemies, not to run every aspect of your lives. Those of you that think you've somehow protected your country by sitting behind your computer screen need to wake up and smell reality. It's easy to sit and complain, it's something altogether different to actually do something for your country.

I agree with the second part but not the first. We've been meddling in the affairs of many foreign governments for a great many years. Do you think the CIA isn't over in Iran instigating those protests? A lot of the debt that we've run up is due to those very same intelligence and military operations.

Are you suggesting that we run for office or join the military? A typical citizen shouldn't need to be that involved--we have a representative government. Not having an opinion on matters of the day would suggest being intentionally uninformed about what is going on and surely you aren't suggesting that...

Quote of the month right there. Best thing I've heard come out of these political arguments in quite a while here.

My little brother and sister are still telling me about how terrible my car hurting the planet....

Do they have pets?

here's some food for thought:

I'm one of those guys that bought an hfc for the exhaust since I have at least a passing interest in the planet. I was seriously debating (with myself) the other day whether I could justify running a test pipe now that I'm on E85. heh. Guilt is a bitch.

[Kracka]

If anything, running E85 should make you want to keep your HFC since its worse for the environment than regular gasoline.

Where did you read that? Everything that I've seen is to the contrary.

E85 is clean. A typical FFV driver can prevent 4 tons of lifecycle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other harmful pollutants from entering our air every year by fueling with E85 instead of gasoline. Using E85 can reduce tailpipe emissions such as ozone-forming pollutants by about 20%. E85 will also reduce evaporative emissions of air toxics and ozone formers.
