I want to welcome all of the new posters who have shown up recently [View all]

Sorry this "spying scandal" isn't shaping up to what you may have heard on some other talk radio outlets and a few crazy people who have youtube channels, but. We hope you stay around and discuss other topics of importance!

Like, climate change, that's real and we should have ongoing discussions about it-

Health Care, one place where the President needs to do more because I think these insurance companies have fucked us over long enough- And drug companies, they need some reform-

And taxes, fucks like Mitt Romney should never pay under 40%- time to look at all these thousands and thousands of deductions
