If it was originally in Newsweek though, why not just go to the source since you know I think NewsMax is a joke? I'm guessing it's because it wasn't a link to a Newsweek article it was actually something that marginally used some newsweek material in an attempt to make it look 'newsy'. It happens constantly in the right wing blogosphere (and in the right wing media) - Stephen Colbert calls it 'truthiness'.<BR/><BR/>My links generally link to legitimate non-partisan news sources. I even put in a link in my most recent post which links to Christianity Today!<BR/><BR/>I guess the name calling gets under your skin? I apologize if it does. You know, I'd stop if you stopped but on your own blog you don't have any problem throwing names around ('faggot' 'Satan' 'Camel Jockey', etc.) so I just figure if it's good for the goose...<BR/><BR/>Valiant defense of Exxon, by the way. They must think it's hilarious that they have customers who defend their world-record-breaking profits and $400 million CEO salaries as average people get hammered by higher fuel prices. Their $2M malaria program is OK, but their simultaneous indifference (and occasional support) to corrupt governments that allow them to cause large scale environmental damage in the same African countries easily outweighs the $2million malaria program. Sort of like the $10+ billion of *missing* US taxpayer dollars in Iraq outweighs one of our soldiers handing out 20 soccer balls to Iraqi children (who you'd probably accuse of being Islamofascists), wouldn't you say?Billy Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215147035499282086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109762876278264073.post-40532825037336526542008-02-19T20:18:00.000-08:002008-02-19T20:18:00.000-08:00I use to provide you links all the time but unless...I use to provide you links all the time but unless they said what you wanted you discounted them. Oh, that is a right wing rag, they are in Bush's pocket, they lie, they are not credible. You have no more or less credible sources but when I present them you discount them because they do not agree with you. Here is a link. Before you jerk off laughing that it is NewsMax, the story they are reporting is from NewsWeek. Mewsweek is not exactly a right wing publication:<BR/>http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/6/30/224136.shtml<BR/><BR/>You have never dismantled any argument. You think you have because you just say you did. You claim that a source is not good enough and then you say I lie and call me names. I used to think you were intelligent. Now I think you are mentally disabled.<BR/><BR/>Certainly we could just take the Iranian oil like you all said we would or we could stop buying from Saudi, invest in Canada, drill in ANWR and the Gulf and build more refineries.<BR/><BR/>Exxon does not control the price of oil. It is a global commodity and it is controlled by the world market. Exxon (I assume that is who you mean) has made the most money in raw dollars but its profit margin is about 11%. They are involved in a lot of business and they invest billions in many things (like 2 million dollars for malaria medication in Africa). They make 8 or 10 cents a gallon from gas but they sell jet fuel, oil, lubricants and many other items. They are a business and they deserve to make money.<BR/><BR/>Who do you suppose will foot the bill for that explosion over the weekend? The company takes the risks. Buy their stocks like all the Democrats in Congress who complain all the way to the bank.Big Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303168209649938758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109762876278264073.post-74375001726330104042008-02-17T17:16:00.000-08:002008-02-17T17:16:00.000-08:00big Dog,Can't you at least provide evidence debunk...big Dog,<BR/><BR/>Can't you at least provide evidence debunking the bush-Saudi/bin Laden ties?<BR/><BR/>Obviously you're statements aren't believable without supporting evidence. Your arguments get dismantled time and again.<BR/><BR/>At least I provided links.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in knowing how we could 'dictate' the terms of the oil trade. If we could, why don't we and save American consumers billions of dollars? It's probably because people like you would rather give your money to the most profitable corporation in the world, right?Billy Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215147035499282086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109762876278264073.post-32306359171268905772008-02-16T09:40:00.000-08:002008-02-16T09:40:00.000-08:00The so called Bush Saudi family has been debunked ...The so called Bush Saudi family has been debunked in a number of places. Guys like you and Micheal Moore made illogical leaps based on 6 degrees of separation. I guess you are going to tell me the bin Laden family hada secret jet to get them out of here after 9/11.<BR/><BR/>Female soldiers joined the service and they have weapons to defend themselves.<BR/><BR/>As for my so called racist remarks, tell these bastards to stop living in the stone age and they will be treated like humans.<BR/><BR/>We get oil from a lot of places including Canada and Venezuela. We could dictate the terms if we wanted to and it has nothing to do with some contrived Bush family ties.Big Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303168209649938758noreply@blogger.com
