From the Constitution Party

"The Social Security system, passed in 1935, is not a legitimate, savings-investment, insurance program. Taxes are not invested into real, income-earning assets. There is no trust fund but in name only. Americans have no property right in their supposed "contributions." The Social Security system today is a compulsory, redistributive, unconstitutional, pyramid scheme that contains the seeds of its own destuction given the demographics of the next 30 years. Reforming or "tweeking" a corrupt system is not a meaningful option. There is only one true privatization reform of Social Security. There is only one Constitutional solution. There is only one economically and morally sound system. Our nation must begin the difficult but manageable process of dismantling the Social Security system - yes, in total. The sooner the debate begins on how best to do it, on how to transition to free-market retirement options with their vast array of investment and retirement program choices, the sooner all Americans will remove the social insecurity in their futures." --Dr. Judd W. Patton Ph.D. (Bellevue University's Economics Departmnet)

Arguments Against Social Security

1) Social Security is a financially insolvent system analogous to illegal pyramid schemes and will eventually go broke.

2) Social Security is the anathema of freedom and liberty and forces citizens to "participate" against their will.

3) Social Security is an immoral form of slavery that makes people chattel of the Federal Government and other people.

4) Social Security is a form of legalized theft by the Federal Government of the money earned by private citizens.

5) Social Security usurps the founding principles America as founded on, which would include individuals being responsible for their livelihood & providing for their own retirement.

6) Social Security is symbolic of the sorts tyranny the founding fathers fought against.

7) Social Security is a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution.

8) Social Security consumes nearly one-fourth of the entire Federal Budget (23%) alone and is the largest federal program in existence.

Urban Legends and Folklores

Comments: This is one of several abridged versions circulating online of an actual statement by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961). The original passage, from a letter Eisenhower wrote to his brother Edgar on November 8, 1954, went as follows:

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
If he were alive today, however, Eisenhower — a committed, if comparatively moderate, Republican — would surely object to the way his words are being used. Those who quote the passage clearly mean to imply that it fits current Republican luminaries such as President G.W. Bush, whose proposals for Social Security reform have included reducing future benefits for some.
As it happens, Bush is also a Texas oil millionaire.

But he has never proposed abolishing Social Security, nor eliminating unemployment insurance, labor laws, or farm programs. Hence, the tacit suggestion that Bush and fellow-traveling Republicans ought to be counted among those characterized as "stupid" by Eisenhower is a transparent, if deft, example of partisan hyperbole.

I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo!"

"Were you born worthless, or did you have to work at it?"

"Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit, tinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out-fucking-standing!"

"God has a hard on for Marines, because we kill everything we see. He plays His games, we play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls. God was here before the marine corps, so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the corps!"

One of my favorites...

The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it's forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you.

bump for a guy who will give you the shirt off his back (for 10 bucks more than he paid for it)

Im trying to lobby Brook into starting "BROOKLYN JUICE" a gatorade/snapple hybrid that consists of green tea, piracetam and black tar heroin. It will burn bodyfat, make you smarter, and have you thinking you are as good looking as Brooklyn Juice.

Bump for Brooklyn Juice who took out the bitchiest, most concieted, meanest girl in high school on a date--seduced her and got her drunk as hell--tagged her in positions that Gumby would be ashamed of---left her passed out and completely nude (except with the fact that she was wearing his underwear) at her parents doorstep--with "Daddys little girl" written in magic marker on her chest and "Return to vendor" on her back----rang the doorbell and took off screaching in his car.
