    got a reaction from JohnR! in Will there be riots if Obama loses?   
    Why would there be riots if Obama loses? He already served 4 years.
    [some] hill billies, rednecks, and tea partiers are furious. They despise a black guy in the white house, have a fear that this country is going to be overran by communists, guns will be taken away, the government is going to control which doctor you see, etc... They are very delusional maniacs that live outside of reality.
    I could see some protests, gatherings, and in a worst-case scenario some violent outbursts where some innocent people lose their lives.
    They have guns and they are crazy.

    Hi Good People of VisaJourney,
    I'm a strong Christian, Jesus Christ is my personal savior and King!
    I know He's helped me through my K-1 and AOS process, and blessed me richly with an amazing new life here in Montana, not to mention a beautiful wife!
    I also know throughout the process you may need a prayer or two, so if you're in that situation, ask here and I will gladly say a prayer or two for you.
    Don't forget to tell me your names and where you're from, and also what you want a prayer for (It doesn't have to be about your VISA either).
    God bless.
    Galatians 6:9
    And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

    And tell me more please about Chinese and Japanese steel. It's laminated which means it's porous as all get. So when you weld on it it's a nigh mare not to mention it's weak. You must have gotten cheap labor mixed up with actually technology. You have hear of the Bessemer process? That's where it began. Every culture out there today learned their iron work and steel foundry technology from the West, not from banana land.

    They are not "discovering Islam" they are importing large numbers of immigrants of that faith... Europe was where enlightenment and secularism was born. The aftermath of the crusades and the push away from religious control over peoples daily lives is was gave birth to free thinking and free speech laws. I am sad to see them giving back that freedom and losing what they gave much of the world.
    I grew up thinking of Europe as a place of free thinkers where the direction of our future (or at least western civilization) was being designed. They broke away from religious dogma and finally science and truth was allowed to flourish. What is happening there now is not just bad for them, it is bad for the world.
    Yes I remember on the day of my wedding to my first wife the Bishop meeting with us and telling me about my family unit obligations.. even in the ceremony he paused about the part about children and said "at least two" before continuing. I really don't need someone telling me how to procreate, thanks though.. .Yes please pull up your map and of course I will be looking at the countries with low birth rates and looking at affluence, advancement in birth control, availability of abortions, the ability to determine sex while pregnant and the sudden uptick of the percentage of male births versus female births, etc..

    Who Doesn't Owe Federal Income Tax — In One Graph
    Given all the talk about who does or doesn't pay federal income taxes and what this means for tax policy, here are a few basic facts.

    The vast majority (83 percent) of households who owe no federal income taxes are either working households that pay payroll taxes (61 percent) or elderly (22 percent).To make those people pay federal income taxes, you'd have to take steps that would make the tax code less fair and sensible. For example, it would require steps like cutting the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Child Tax Credit, which would reduce work incentives and increase child poverty and welfare use; lowering the standard deduction or personal exemption, which could tax many low-income working families into (or deeper into) poverty; or taxing limited-income elderly people on their Social Security benefits.
    The remaining 17 percent of those who don't pay federal income taxes are mostly those who are not working due to illness or disability, or are in school.Analyzing data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and estimates from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, we found that this group includes about 5 million households in which the head of household has an illness or disability and about 2 million households in which the head of household is in school.
    These two groups make up 7 percent and 3 percent of all households that didn't pay federal income tax in 2011, respectively. The remaining households include early retirees and those who can't find work, which has been an especially difficult challenge since the onset of the Great Recession. (For household heads who fall into more than one category, we assigned them to a single category in the order in which we've listed them in this post. This means, for example, that a student working part-time would be included in the 61 percent of households that pay payroll taxes.)

    reacted to scandal in Supply Side? Romney tells us it's a fraud   
    Here's something I haven't heard anyone in the media pick up on in the wake of Romney's 47% tape.
    On Monday night, Romney gave a hasty news conference to attempt damage control right after the first segment of the tape was released.
    At the news conference, Romney spun thusly:
    "As I point out, I recognize that among those that pay no tax, approximately 47 percent of Americans, I'm not likely to be highly successful with the message of lowering taxes. That's not as attractive to those who don't pay income taxes as it is to those who do."
    To me, this statement is far more damaging to Romney, the Republican brand, and conservative ideology than the secret tape itself.
    What's stunning to me about what he said Monday night is that it entirely contradicts decades of Republican orthodoxy on trickle-down, supply-side economic theory. From Ronald Reagan/David Stockman days in the 80s, the concept was: lower taxes at the highest income distributions, which would stimulate economic activity and investment, and thus create jobs, and thus promote income growth and social mobility at the lower income distributions. I.e. - the rich get richer, which lets everyone get richer. A rising tide floats all boats. You know, trickle down from top to bottom.
    There has been a true electoral genius to this economic theory. It convinced voters to give Reagan two terms. It gave GB 41 & 43 the White House. It brought us Gingrich's Contract with America in 1994, and the Tea Party to office in 2010, and propelled Grover Norquist to signing up all the nutters to his tax pledge. Pretty potent idea. The genius lies in the way it's allowed rich people to sell a policy which directly benefits them (tax cuts for the wealthy) to those who don't directly benefit (everyone else). How do you get poor people to vote for tax cuts for the rich? Convince them that they too will benefit from the tax cuts at the top.
    The bombshell in what Romney said on Monday night is that he directly contradicts this theory. He said he doesn't expect "the 47%" to see any benefit in his tax cut policies, since they're not paying any income tax anyway. What does this mean? Romney is telling us flat out that supply side theory is bullsh1t. That even he doesn't see any reason why someone not getting a tax cut should support tax cuts for those who do pay high tax rates. That there's nothing in it for them, and that there's really no reason for those not getting the tax cuts to support them. Really what he said is that supply side is a prank played by the rich on the rest of us. Well, I've always known that. But it's nice to hear the GOP candidate for President say that to the nation on live television.

    13 Powerful Images of Muslim Rage
    "MUSLIM RAGE," screams Newsweek's new cover story about last week's violent anti-American protests. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the well-known anti-Islam activist, is here to tell "us" (The_West) how to "end it." And it's true, isn't it? All Muslims are constantly raging about everything. So to pay tribute to Ali's article — which describes the protesters as "the mainstream of contemporary Islam" — and the subtle, smart cover that accompanies it, we've collected 13 striking, powerful images of MUSLIM RAGE.
    What are Muslims so mad about? Twitter ("Want to discuss our latest cover? Let's hear it with the hashtag: #MuslimRage," Newsweek begs us) has some answers:

    Indeed, as everyone knows, Muslims, and especially Arab Muslims, have no lives, feelings or thoughts external to constant, violent rage, directed at old white people living in the Midwest (due to their freedoms). Sure, only a few thousand people out of populations of millions turned out to protest this goofy anti-Muhammad movie from YouTube, and sure, there was loud outcry against the violence across the Muslim world. But have you seen this photo? Those guys are mad.
    It's hard to find a better image than the one on the Newsweek cover to really communicate how rage-filled Muslims constantly are, but we've found a few that will strike a chill into your heart:
    Check out these violent, angry Egyptians:

    Two furious Iraqis:

    Iranian Muslims #snowrage:

    This Egyptian guy is filled to the brim with #MuslimRage:

    A group of Egyptians gather in Cairo to vent their rage:

    A wrathful Jordanian girl:

    Insane #MuslimRage:

    Terrifying image of violent, rampaging Iraqis:


    How can we stop #MuslimRage like this, from Iran?

    Look at this enraged Iraqi and tell me you're not scared:

    Secondly, they often go through periods of unemployment as the big studios mostly hire per project, laying off most everyone once the job is done.
    Then get a job where you are GAINFULLY employed 52 weeks a year rather than be on unemployment most of your working life. PICK a profession you can MAKE A LIVING.YOU want the working people in this country to support this clown.We cannot support you deadbeats anymore. The well is dry.
