They believe in allowing people opportunities to thrive without burdensome government interference and onerous taxes.
This is not "Haves vs. Have Nots" as much as it is whether you believe people are capable or incapable.

[QUOTE=Unregistered;1454129]The Republican Right has a fundamental lack of confidence in their fellow man. They think people are incapable, helpless and in need of constant care, and financial support. Due to this thinking they think it best to just ignore everyone else like they don't exist. In essence, be as selfish and self-centered as possible.
The Liberal Left has a general belief that people are talented and capable. They believe that people are resourceful, smart, and are very capable of taking care of themselves and their families when given half a chance to do so. They believe in allowing people opportunities to thrive without burdensome government interference and onerous taxes.

Harry Reid, Pelosi, Biden giving standing ovations about an agenda that has no chance.
I hope the teleprompter is working. He sucks when he actually has to think.

The real problem with this country is losers who troll for opportunities to interject mindless political wingeing into ever conversation they can. They don't think, they just spout whatever talking point fed to them by whatever media ****** or spin doctor confirms their beliefs.
Why don' t find a knitting forum and stir up crap there.Last edited by forcepush71; 01-19-2015, 04:47 PM.

Getting back to soccer, this thread proves that most of the people on this site don't really follow professional soccer. To answer a few questions from the previous soccer posts:
* Juan Agudelo could not get a work permit in the UK because he did not have enough national team caps. The UK work permit system is very strict. So there was no issue with his fitness. He's a good player who hopefully finds a team soon. He could come back to the MLS if he wanted to but he is hoping to play in Europe.
* Sunderland paid Jozy Altidore $3.2 million per season. But keep in mind that most UK salaries are after taxes. So if Jozy is making $6 million per season (BEFORE tax) to play for Toronto, as has been reported, than the salaries are not that much different. Love him or hate him, Jozy is a quality player and should do well in the MLS. Sunderland is a brutal team in a tough league so it's hard to blame Jozy completely for his lack of scoring. That said, he certainly should have had more than 2 goals over two seasons as a forward.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI appreciate the effort but that is old news about Agudelo. It seems very strange that he has not played anywhere for a long time now. As though he is persona non grata for some reason. I would've thought the permit thing was worked out before he left the MLS. Just seems weird and it's frustrating because he is such an exciting and gifted player. A man among boys while in the MLS. Much better striker than Altidore IMHO.
