I agree but somewhat have to disagree. My parents bought my first car and although I may not have appreciated it as much when I was younger, I was never a spoiled brat and to this day work my tail off and earn everything I have. I bought my first house when I was 21 and my parents didn't help me with any of it. I think it depends on what kind of person you are. Thankfully I have my parents work ethic but I have seen spoiled brats and I am thankful I didn't end up that way.
This is one of those things that some parents just don't get. People and especially Teenage people are far less likely to respect something they didn't have to earn. By supplying them with a piece of freedom like a motor vehicle without making them earn it, you are asking for trouble. It may start with a wrecked car but will end up shaping your kids expectations(outlook on life) for years to come.
This is very serious! This could very well be the difference between your child becoming a liberal or conservative. For the sake of the country, MAKE THEM EARN IT!
This is a law that his been set in place since the creation of the automobile (Well at least since the creation of the Car Radio). The passenger only touches the radio when requested to do so or after requesting permission and receiving approval. There are no exceptions! Violators of this law will at a bare minimum get a severe hand slap and if the passenger continues to break this law will likely end up finding an alternate source for transportation.
The very minute that AT&T responded to Verizons coverage map ad with the absence of a claim that the map comparison was untrue was the beginning of a losing battle. The numerous Luke Wilson Ad's have consistently left me shaking my head asking WTF is AT&T thinking? Do they really think anyone is buying the BS they're shoveling?
Frankly, AT&T shouldn't have even responded. That way the consumers wouldn't really know where or not the Verizon ads were truthful but instead they've validated them. Great Work AT&T! From personal experience, AT&T has been falling apart for years now and it looks like they're staying consistent once again.
We've listened to what he's had to say and what he'd like to see happen with health care, cap and trade, immigration, etc... It's not that he's not being listened to it's that the American people by in large (Majorities) disagree with his policies and are fed up with Washington as a whole. (Both Parties) Don't confuse this with people wanting the change he's offering, the people do not want bigger government and less liberty; they want a fiscally responsible government (MUCH smaller, Much less invasive.) where the concern is the future of our country and not furthering the power the government already has over the people.
Let's say that I'm very glad the Republicans are united in standing against Health Care but that doesn't mean for one second I trust any of those corrupt politicians. One of the many things I learned when traveling to DC a few months ago (With thousands of other Americans) is that all politicians should be questioned (not a new development). I tend to be a pretty good judge of character and many of the Republicans that surfaced at the protest were blatantly trying to play the protesters like pawns. I have no problem reversing the roles and playing them until we get some true conservatives in office.
What it really boils down to is the core disagreement we and they have; the role and power of government. You can call it partisan to unite in standing against this disagreement but I call it a necessity.
One thing I do agree with is that you cannot sit on the sideline and I am not.
I love this one.

I was all of 13 years old during the 94 change in congress and obviously didn't pay any attention to politics at that time.
However, speaking personally in regards to what's changed in me over the last several years; I no longer care what letter resides by a candidates name.
Just as I drove my 94 Honda to DC to protest the monstrosity of a Health Care Bill the Democrats in the House proposed I'd drive my happy ass right back up there if a newly elected Republican failed to repeal the bill if it did eventually pass. No more party line ignorance or accepting mediocrity from me.
I completely agree. Surprisingly Simon has grown on me over the years and I'm not very confident that the show will go on(And Remain Successful) without him next year as I've heard he's out of contract and leaving.
It is likely that the party of Lincoln will make gains in 2010 (typically, the party not in the white house makes gains in the first mid-term election) But it is unlikely that they will have the impact that they had in 1994. Simply because, while they claimed [and likely meant, at the time] to be a party of change. Many of the republicans swept into office became of the same corrupt political stripe of those they were railing against. This time around, I suspect, you will see an electorate more focused on the actions in whom they have given their trust. In the end, only time will tell.
All right Mr. Kazinec. Here we go again. I agree that Mr. Obama's run so far has been anything less than lackluster, but you say he's been spewing the same rhetoric since his run. Well, he wouldn't have to keep spewing it if others would actually listen. The problem that exists right now is no longer a matter of will Obama meet them half way, but will the holed-up Republicans get off their bums and try to do the same. He has recently extended his hand in a show of "bi-partisanship" only to have it knocked away every time. So far every effort he has made has simply been either ignored or scoffed at since January of this year. Now as I've stated before I'm not very happy with how things have ended up so far under his administration and may very well find myself voting differently in 2012, but I've yet to be impressed by any Republican member either. Kind of hard for Democrats to meet in the middle and work things out for the country when Republicans are too busy acting like a bunch of spoiled brats on the school playground because they didn't get picked first. If Obama is going to hear the voice of all Americans then every congressman needs to be present to voice that opinion. You cannot sit on the sidelines and expect THAT to be your message. Republicans need to be heard, and that means BEING there. So they either need to put up or shut up!
