Oath Keepers

So I just wasted the last few hours going through http://cpusa.org/, the American Communist Party's website. I cannot find a single article, blog or announcement about them trying to sue the Democratic party over having their platform "stolen"... if this is such a big thing, don't you think this would be on their website at the very least?

I have also searched through the net, and I cannot find an original source for this story; every website either links you to the People's Cube, Political Hotwire forums, or they just say "various sources" (as in, that's what they say, they don't actually link you to anything other then People's Cube or Political Hotwire...).

O'Hare, the entire thing is fabricated; it's a bunch of lies blended in with a few facts that are twisted. After all, good satire has some facts to it, but is twisted and turned to the point where it's hard to tell whether it's real or just made up.

Corporate greed huh? What do you mean by corporate greed? Because there's differences. If you hate corporations because they worked hard to get where they're at now and have money to show for it, then that's wrong and one should go out and start a business of their own. But if you hate corporate greed because they are monopolizing an industry and keeping competitors out then that is good. For instance, we can only get Time Warner cable in our area. We don't have a choice of any other cable company. If we want cable, we have to suffer with the cost they make us pay for it. We can't get cheaper rates from any other cable company. Sure we can go DSL through Verison. But we all know that's not the same.

The second one O'Hare. I have nothing against hard work. Of course most Corps CEO's nowadays didn't get there by hard work. Another aspect of Corporate Greed is CEOs and Executives giving themselves pay raises and golden parachutes as their companies fail. Prime recent Examples, Hostess, The Banks, Automotive industry.

This topic has strayed pretty far from its initial purpose, and now really serves none other than soapboxing. I have no problem with debates on the forum, but this has been going in circles for too long.

Topic closed.
