I come down I-15 from the north, and through Laughlin from the south, which is the correct way to bypass the dam. There is no purpose whatsoever for this bridge, but that is typical for a government project.
No, what Barry posted was a sheet of checked paper run through a line printer…go look it up, because it is doubtful that anyone here is going to post a link to the picture. It is not convincing, and, although people around here claim that they are trying to get to the truth, what they are really interested in is the Communist agenda. They are not going to show you anything that could discredit Obama.
As for his mother, how in the hell do you know where she has been? Did you follow her around?
So you bypassed a publicly financed road by driving on…
…other publicly financed roads. I am moved to new levels of ennui by your bold political statement.
So you think his dad wasn’t subject to U.S. and Hawaiian jurisdiction, AND the birth certificate is a fraud.
What does that mean in practical terms; is Obama not a citizen twice over, or what? Is one of those a backup plan in case the other turns out to be bullshit?
Help us out here, what are you really trying to say?
Actually, I was responding to this ejaculation of bridge and government worship:
…but you left that part out, didn’t you?
I don’t know whether the birth certificate was a fraud or not, which is why I didn’t say. Your pretending that I said something, so that you can argue against it, is what is known as a “strawman argument”.
I did raise the question of whether or not a Kenyan was subject to US jurisdiction, as “jurisdiction” was interpreted during ratification of the 14th amendment. Do you have anything intelligent to say about this?
I didn’t think it was relevant. I mean, were the roads that you did use somehow not paid for by taxes?
Did you?
What does that have to do with the price of chichon in les banlieus?
The government built a bridge that we didn’t need, and I’m supposed to be grateful for that? No, I’m not particularly grateful for a stupidassed bridge that I will never use, and whether or not the existing road, which was just fine the way it was, was paid for by taxes or not has nothing to do with it.
One would think you’d be glad about shaving an hour or so off travel time.
Back up a bit and tell me what it is you think we’re talking about. Are you railing against all taxes, taxes to build roads, recent projects funded by taxes, or just this bridge in particular.
Tell me what point you’re trying to make and then I’ll tell you why you haven’t made it.
I’m thinking it’s about even money that she goes off on me for prejudging her with that last comment, and doesn’t answer the actual question.
The bridge does not shave any time off of the trip, except, perhaps, during the biker River Run week, and in any case, it is not worth $240 million.
Let’s just leave you out of the bridge discussion, since you are incapable of understanding it, and it is not about you anyway. You just butted into it.
I have a problem with paying taxes that are not used for what they are supposed to be used for, that’s all.
Ah, it’s not actually a bridge, see… It’s in reality a project that is designed to facilitate the production of alien… but now I’ve said too much.
ETA: getting closer to the pro bono thread… but so far to go. So far.
So, if the Kenyan Muslim Obama proposed a new tax, and told you that the tax was going to be used for universal health care, and then used the tax to fund universal health care, you wouldn’t have a problem with it?
The shit you’re spouting isn’t intelligent enough to be worthy of a response.
But like Starving Artist, you have a fascinating way of almost saying something, without actually saying anything.
Then when called on your bullshit, you can rush back and claim the words you put in a particular order don’t mean what everyone thinks they mean, or you were kidding, or we all read into something.
Certainly not a tactic that will gain you any credibility, not that you’ll care because credibility doesn’t seem to be your goal.
I also like that you call it the IFTA Tax, which goes to suggest you don’t actually understand it.
And as to your specific question, “Since I am paying IFTA to repair the roads, why do we need Stimulus money to repair the roads?”
Because there area a lot of fucking roads, and the money to repair them got sent to Iraq to build roads there, after blowing them up.
You have a funny grasp on the US federal budget. And have yet to prove that Obama isn’t a Chinese Robot from the Future.
We all do.
Your side of the equation got to spend it in Iraq. Now it seems like our side is going to spend it treating illegal immigrants with AIDS (and maybe performing a few late term abortions).
$12 an hour, I sure hope this is worth it. I can think of a lot of other ways to spend $12 in Vegas. Have you seen that new bridge over the Hoover Damn, it’s freakin huge!
http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com/ is crazy fun!
Would it exclude people with AIDS???
Me too. You’d think it was a popular opinion. And yet when I want the Defense budget to be used for defense only, the amount of resistance to this simple idea is more than you can believe.
It is only an anecdote and you are free to not believe me, but on more than one occasion I have had people tell me it is OK to use the defense forces for the invasion of Iraq!
Was she a US citizen, subject to what ever made up definition of jurisdiction you’re using?
Or what she also a Chinese Robot from the future?
Does it even matter where his father was from, how he got into the country, who’s jurisdiction he was under, and what time portal he traveled through?
Do you think his father is part of that weird shit in Stargate SGU? Let he was sent to our Earth by aliens that had something to do with the pyramids?
I only bring that up because it’s just so much more plausible than the drivel you’ve been force-fed, which should give you some indication how batshit insane your theories are. If I were you, I’d find the lying bastard that told them to you and kick him square in the nuts. Or the taco, which ever.
