Surprising, in the old days, 1880's, the rich got taxed like everybody else based upon what they possessed. You own a lot, you got taxed a lot.

For gold to rise, the dollar would probably have to become more worthless. During the Civil War, silver was at its highest during the 1800's. After the war it dropped to barely over $1.00. During the depression, silver became almost worthless - about 25 cents.

Being Sarah can see Russia from her back porch, only gives more credenance to ocean front property sales in Arizona. According to Sarah, China is the largest country in the world. The USA is larger then Canada. need we say more?

Loughner is Jewish because he has a Jewish mother but he wasn't a practicing Jew. He claimed one of his 20 odd books he liked was Hitler's Mein Kampf. One of his favorite people was Sarah Palin. Some historians claimed Hitler had some Jewish blood. Does that make him a Jew? Probably.

Sarah used the expression [color:red]"blood libel"[/color] which is an old expression used for centuries that perpetuates the belief about the Jews killed Christians for ritualistic purposes. Because of this belief, people have felt justified in spreading anti-Semitism and also massacres of Jews. To put more salt into the wounds, Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish.

Rush Limbaugh is having a field day on his talk show today. Rush couldn't believe what Obama said last night in Tucson.

and some people claim none of this hate is coming from the right wingers. [color:red]How many carry a copy of the Constitution in their pocket like Loughner did?[/color]

Smoking gun: Loughner carried around with him a copy of the Constitution to support his ideas . In today's Tucson newspaper it claims Lougher [color:red]'made the last of four visits to the Pima County OneStop Center' last September 29. He brought with him a camera and was filming. He was asked to leave which he responded by pulling out a copy of the Constitution and saying 'It was his right!'.[/color]According to the paper, that was [color:red]'the first of two times Loughner was ejected that day of disruptive behavior for his interpretation of the Constitution.'[/color] [color:red]'That evening two Pima Community College police officers delivered a letter to the home Loughner shared with his parents, telling them that he was being suspended from college."[/color]

Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish.

The Govenor of Arizona has changed her tone and has actually been civil. The Govenor and Giffords were almost mortal enenmies over the SB1070 issue. The Govenor was 100% for SB1070 wereas Giffords was opposed of the issue. Some have speculated that some of the rantings of the shooter might have been in regards to the illegal immigrant issue. He spoke of 'grammer' and then coupled it that they didn't have much if any grammer which some have speculated was a jab against illegals who have a tendency not to speak English very well. The Sheriff of Pima County has been taking a lot of heat, most of it out of context. He is another one who is against SB1070. He claims we can't afford it - it cost too much to enforce.

The news in Arizona is about the 9 year old girl that got killed. Her funeral is today and the looneys who protest at soldiers' funerals that the soldier's death was god's revenge, etc. are going to show up at her funeral. She was born 9/11/2001 - a sad day to be born and a sad day to leave this life.

There are people who want the country to fail and want the president to fail.. There are people who want to 'fuck' the President. There are people who would like to see Pelosi 'fucked'. Now if a unstable person hears these expressions, and hears them a lot, the unstable person may act upon it. So the question is: Is the originator of such talk partially to blame? In the past, some people were held responsible for the damage done by their words but today that just does not happen. Ned Buntline was an 1800's character who wrote a lot of nickel/dime novels. One time he incited a riot in Manhattan and ended up spending some time in jail for his actions.

Actually Rush went to Tucson to a rehab center to overcome his drug addictions. What a connection.

This guy was all over the 'board' being skewed one way and then another way. When people say they want the government to fail or when people say that people should be killed who support abortion, etc., you got to admit somebody unstable just might take actions into their own hands. This guy definetely needed mental help. The community college he was attending that kicked him out for being mentally off should have pushed more to get him some help. In Arizona mental health is a major issue. The State kicked a bunch of them of medicaid and now some of them are no longer on their meds which means some are more wackier then they were before they took their meds. Our news is saturated with border issues, Obama Care, illegial immigration, etc. Instead of the local governments handling local issues, they get involved in federal issues. This area is a tenderbox in more ways then one.

I don't think there is another State in the Union that has citizens that did what these Arizonians did. Were others would allow the shooter to continue shooting, in this case some men tackled the shooter to the ground and one gray haired 61 year old woman took away his magazine so he could not reload. That took a lot of guts.

Lizard King, the right just likes to throw jabs without very little background. For example, the Right find nothing wrong with the USA paying the Iraqis health bill but if one penny is spent on USA citizens, that is Socialism. As for Giffords, she is hated by the right for her stand on Healthcare but the right never mentions about her husband who has been to the Space Station and that he is suppose to be on the next flight to the space station which is the last flight to the space shuttle. Even the mention of Gifford's husband's twin brother being the current Commander at the Space Station is also not mentioned. She has received a lot of threats and most if not all of those threats were fueled by the right.

Here in Arizona, when this guy got kicked out of college because of mental issues, he should have been processed thru the court system. If that had happened, he could not have bought a gun, at least leagally. Gabrielle Giffords has taken the blunt of hatred from the right wingers on her stand on health care. Another issue in Arizona is SB1070 which deals with illegal immigration. Right now, the Arizonan legislatures are possessed with getting rid of the illegals, getting rid of Medicare, getting rid of the Federal Government, etc. and has forgotten to look at State issues such as coming up with a budget.

The Sheriff of Pima County Arizona where this shooting took place has become very vocal now regarding the hatred the right wingers have been spreading.

Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish so some of this might be spill over of hatred of Jews.

I still say the Congress should give the military 7 days to get or kill Bin Laden and 30 days to pull out of both countries. After the Civil War in the USA we had 1 million soldiers. After the war we had only 25,000 soldiers.

In Arizona, one big issue has been over the State's Medicaid. The Govenor has tossed a lot of people off Medicaid and some of those people are mentally ill. Without their medicines, they are just plain nuts. Hard to tell where this guy fits in if he fits in at all.

What Congress should do is give the military 7 days to catch the boogey man Bin Laden and in 30 days get their butts back here and get reduced in size. Enough is enough. During the Civil War we had 1 milion soldiers. After the war we had 25,000 soldiers.

News claim Gabrielle Giffords is not dead but in surgery. Giffords was a strong supporter for ObamaCare. If she doesn't die, she still will be considered one down.

During the election, Sarah Palin made up a map with Gabrielle Giffords in her target sight. Hard to say what happened. All I can say is there are too many wackos out there.

News claim she is dead along with 6 other people. It was at a Safeway store. Don't know if that is the branch I shop at.
