" Way to call a spade, a spade! The truth almost never feels comfortable, but then . . . the Kennedy's were never big on truth. Thank you for your candid, honest appraisal of what is! "

" in the middle, wrong. Kennedy died just in time to relieve Michael Jackson of that title. "

" You are a very sick man Roy Hicks. I truely hope God shows more mercy on you than you would on others. "

" Maybe you should let the people of Massachussetts worry about their own senator. Remember that Larry Craig was also implicated in the page scandal and escaped without a conviction and the voters of Idaho returned him to congress election after election until he finally wide-stanced himself outa here. Sorry, but you ain't worth Ted's belly button lint. "

" Who the heck is Dennis Newsome? Maybe you're referring to Gavin Newsom (yep, neither the first nor last name are right)? But don't worry about the facts, Roy -- it's easier to create your own distorted and angry view of the world, as you always do! "

" he left MJK to die in the water and just walked away. he apologized and what??? god forbid we punish a Kennedy. His funeral received way to much attention, you'd think he was the pope. "

" One last comment for those of you who have a modicum of commons sense and intelligence:
Well we have guaranteed the survival of the Banksters......and the destruction of the middle class. But hey, why bother with the little people .....they are busy fighting about who caused this mess ...the dems or the reps......THEY BOTH DID.......GET IT... hehehe.... Anyway I can't stand George Bush but it doesn't matter. Because the government we got is the government we deserve.

“Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.”

Bernard Shaw quote "

" Hey Starduck dude, try to follow and understand...there is no opposing political parties, there is only the Federal Reserve, who through their 16 major stockholders...CITI, BofA, GoldmanSachs, etc....control our Congress, President and ultimately...us...I think your smart enough, if you would do a little research, you would see it too...start with Googling: The Creature from Jekyll Island...then get back to me...
When I created FDRAllOverAgain in early 2007, I knew the Elliotts supported a historic repeat of America's 1930s depression, though on a larger scale. I also knew that Elliott Waves are patterns of social herding, therefore the next president would have much in common with FDR, that the stock market would rebuke him, and the media would adore him.

As it has played out, it has not surprised me. It's all on cue. It is horribly disappointing, like watching reruns of a bad movie that you cannot change--the slasher wins time and again--but nevertheless, predictable.

The really interesting thing has been how little we, as humans, seem to be capable of learning. There have been no real "twists" to the plot. Everyone alive has at least heard of the Great Depression, even if the causes have been sanitized from our socialized school curriculum. Still, quite spectacularly, we robotically repeat each and every mistake of the 1930s, by the numbers. There is nothing original about any of this:

* The silent theft of the 1920s great inflation
* The 1920s craze of interest only and more exotic loans to keep banker profits flowing
* The 1930s unstoppable collapse of housing
* The 1930s Fed collecting assets while chasing rates in feigned futility
* 1930s government burning middle class capital to compensate the wealthy
* The early 30s collapse of employment
* The 1930s collapse of state budgets and eventual defaults
* 1930s endless bailouts demolishing the Federal outlook
* The 1930s heralding of reckless experimentation as a good thing
* The 1930s MSM applause of the belated arrival of socialism in America
* Open confiscation of individual wealth as the bank breaks
* Open loss of faith in the administration by the business community
* Denial of the existence of the depression itself
* (on the way) The feeling of national resignation to our new poverty
* (on the way) The war that finally forces people back to work for little to no pay

I know it has to happen. I understand the reasons why. But I still find it incredibly interesting that people, as a herd, are basically unteachable.

Dude..I don't think you're a sheeple...wake up and read some history.

" fdr, that was very clever of you to put an (=) sign to show that they were the same...i just have a hard time believing you..how about this one:

stuckduck > fdr

or

bush < obama

or

Kool-aid = gatorade

sorry fdr, but they are not the same...sorry but bush relied heavily on what mr.cheney had to say..and when they found out oil was out in iraq, and mr.cheney had a company that could drill it for him (halliburton), then it was full speed ahead for a war, that was with the wrong country..and the military spending that obama is doing now, he is actually trying to find the guy that bombed the wtc, 8 YEARS AGO!!!!!! "

" StuckDuck, you continue to amaze me with your short sighted stupidity. There is no DIFFERENCE between Bush and Obama, they are one and the same.

Obama = Bush

They Both Have Initiated Unconstitutional Acts Against the People

They Both Have Used The Military to Raise Debt (by the way...haven't you noticed that the death rate of our troops and our involvement in Afganistan has increased, not decreased)

Both Impowered The Treasury To Rule Instead of Congress

Both Are Bank Owned and Operated

Now go drink some more of their Kool Aid and if you are a good little Tardling, maybe BushObama will increase your welfare check. "

" WOO HOO another liberal homo bashing humdinger of a column by our best boy roy. Be sure to return your medicare checks next month when you are bashing Teddy, roy-boy!!! Better send your pension check back to SF too since you don't like them either. "

" roy, if ted kennedy was a skunk, then you are as foul, as the remains that come out any animals' back end.

let me see if i get this straight, you loved the kennedys up until ted was a drunk. although tragic what happened to that young lady, he admitted his wrongdoing and apologized.

meanwhile, your favorite president of all time, (little bush) sent thousands of troops to their death for a reason im sure he doesnt even know. where is his apology?

i wont mourn for "little bush" when his time comes, his far overlong tenure was a disgrace to the people of the United States. "
