I see your grasp of the facts is about as accurate as

| Re: Sad... Oh come on, for lords sakes without taxes you wouldn't even have the means to post that remark. Without taxes there's no money for the corporate welfare to pay for that broadband network you aren't paying didly squat for. Without taxes there is no money for the teachers that taught you how to use the computer in the first place. Without taxes there is no money to pay for the police in the streets, your 911 service, the water that comes out of your tap, the concrete or asphalt in front of your house, the road you drive to work on....... i would hope you can keep connecting the dots. One person can't create a country as fine as ours, it needs to be a team effort. Therefore taxes have to rise right along with the cost of living or our country's most important assets do not get paid well enough to do their jobs correctly and have a happy life.
I wished Howard Dean would have made the primaries, but I will be damned if it's my fault we have another four years of this crap. | |

| Re: Sad... Here's how to tell if you're a "good" Democrat:
1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese & North Korean communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand..
8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression, and governments create prosperity.
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E.Lee, and Thomas Edison.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and really a very nice person.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belonged in the White House.
19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest of the United States.
21. You have to believe that this letter is part of a right wing conspiracy.
22. You truly believe that George "W" Bush and Dick Cheney are personally involved in the distribution of this e-mail. | |

| Sleep Tonight, You're Safe I wonder how they patrol the streets when they need 200 COPS just to keep Madison Square Garden (RNC Arena) safe. I wonder, how many cops do they have for us average New Yorker's and Jersey people? If you answered far less, you hit the nail on the head. The truth is they don't give a crap about us Average Joe's.... But when the big rich politicians come to town, they have 200 cops patrolling a small area. If only they worked this hard to patrol the rest of New York, I wouldn't be asked to buy crack 5 times while I walked in a park on a Sunday afternoon.

there is an incentive for someone to murder all those delegates.
the story i read on yahoo today (edit: from AP, my mistake) said something around 10,000 NYC police out of 37,000 total would be patrolling during the convention. in addition to postal service police, EPA police, secret service, MTA police, amtrack security and lord knows who else.

He voted to Kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to Kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to Kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988
He voted to Kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the F117
He voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons system since 1988, including a bill for battle armor for our troops.
It is most likely, with Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, that they will cease to function. Making it impossible for our country to protect itself.
John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government.
He voted to cut the funding for the FBI by 60%,
He voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%,
He voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
You don't believe me? Voting history can be accessed through Senate voting records.

A: "You can't tell me what I can or can't say here!"
Well, if you've already seen »»Site FAQ »What are the Rules on Posting? then you have your answer. But if you didn't, here's a typical whine by a misguided anonymous poster in one of our forums:
"I'll post whatever I want. This is a public website with public forums. These arbitrary rules are bullshit that some dweeb thought up to stroke himself over. Free speech is a right under the Constitution's Bill Of Rights, and any publicly accessible website that hosts forums is just that, public, and subject to all the laws and rights granted to citizens of the United States."
(The post also had some additional ranting and swearing in it.)
This is a privately owned and operated website, and there are rules established by the owner. They are published here:

and further defined through several site FAQs:
»»Site FAQ »Censorship
»»Site FAQ »What are the Rules on Posting?
Once you post here your post becomes the property of the site. You have no control over what happens to it from that point onward. It may be deleted, edited, or as with the vast majority of posts, left alone. The decision to post or not, according to these rules, is your own.

Q: What are the Rules on Posting? (#648)
A: In addition to the terms of use of the site, all posts are accepted at the discretion of broadbandreports.com.
Here are the hard rules:
No user of the site has any right to post anything they feel like posting. If a user posts, they have to live with any editing or deletion or other moderator action without public complaint. Private complaints can be addressed to us via the contacts page.
Any poster who flames others is not posting according to the rules. Similarly, any poster who "trolls" is by definition trying to induce flames by others and is guilty of flaming by proxy. Neither is allowed here.
