    billionaires club behind climate change, etc..

    What I find interesting is on 60 minutes last week or the week before, they had a special. Bufffet, Gates, etc...had about 11 Billionaires on the program. Buffet has started a club where if you join you have to agree to give at least 50% of your gross *wealth not (edit) health to charities. Course these charities can be chosen. Most seemed like good ideas, but again, some can be dangerous...such as this below. The danger is a select few and THEIR views can change policy.


    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014...cmp=latestnews

    An “elite” group of liberal “millionaires and billionaires” is pumping money into an elaborate network of environmental groups to influence EPA policies, even using “shady” donations from a foreign company to fund their efforts, according to a lengthy report by Senate Republicans.

    One would think you would tire of, and even be shameful of delivering whoppers with such regularity.
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Ya know, 8th, Ima left of center but am pragmatic and willing
    to listen to those on the right (every once in while they do have
    some good thoughts/ideas). Holy Crap, Man, you do more harm
    than good with your blathering....nobody listens, even when some
    of what you say is right on...you do more harm than good...you make
    nothing but fodder to keep the right going...Izzat your plan? If it
    is, it's old and not fun anymore....just sayin....

    I have to give them a bit of credit - they have one line about the oil industry billionaires donating money to deny climate change. But they don't mention names (Koch brothers) or the fact the Kochs have given more to conservative political causes than Gates and Buffet have given to liberal ones.

    Do you ever get tired of their blathering? Their just making **** up? Buying into ANY ignorant rightwing website they run across? And it's not just them, it's their party who puts this kind of crap out. John Kerry sat back and thought, nobody is going to believe this **** from the swiftboats. But they did and he lost and we got stuck with the idiot for another four years and look where it got us. When are you going to stand up and say enough is enough?

    It's people on the left like you who allow this **** to go on, I want to take my country back from dumbasses who think cuttin' taxes raise tax revenues and raisin' taxes on "job creators" kills jobs and the economy.

    Sure I tire of their blathering...if you look back over my posting
    history you'll see that I take them to task. What I don't do is say
    "people on the left like you"...got news for ya, dip****, I've been
    around since Truman and have listened, learned and VOTED what
    I think is right for the country, plus giving $$ to those I think have
    the right ideas (and I served, too) Ain't heard one freakin' thing
    about your creds, other than a diarrhea mouth! So, here it is, people
    on the left like me work within the system, vote, volunteer, donate
    and look to see things work like they should. Stuff takes time, a
    bunch of knuckleheads, on either side, spouting off just makes for
    hot air. So, extreme left idiot, just keep the crap going...you lost
    any sympathy from me....(check it out, I've supported the left a lot
    and given a lot of good arguments, taken some shots but I'm pretty
    sure most here will at least listen to what I say)....

    Yep - proved my point for me. You calling me an extreme left idiot tells me everything i need to know about you. What creds do I need from you? You don't know **** about me. giving, volunteering and VOTING for what is right. I'm sick and tired of being called a socialist because i'm a dem. I'm tired of watching these people change their positions at the drop of a dime. They talk about principals and the only principal they have is hating anything from dems. I am not going to let these dumbass, principal-less ignorant conservatives bully me into being quiet.

    Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way, some of us are sick of them. Grow a pair.

    understand....but 60 minutes promoted this billionaire club as a very positive thing. Which can be on some, but on some issues, such as climate change that has just as many scientist have debunked it, it can be dangerous.
    How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

    dude, every time I read something you post I just imagine you screaming...lol. Man, it's a BB, political in nature...but ya need to relax. I totally disagree with about everything you ever post but I really don't GAS.

    FWIW, it really irritates me when Hannah, or any other conservative talk show host interrupts his guest and sometimes gives typical answers. I welcome debate. IF any conservative or pub was doing this $hit....the dems would go crazy, including you I assume.
