You know, as much as I hate this, I just had this thought; if the World Bank and the IMF destroy whole nations, usually the poorer ones, with our help and through the economic and political structures...then technically haven't we been screwed at our own game?
My, how the tables have turned. Karma IS a bitch, isn't it?

Dude,
You are full of it, and you just got owned.
You are sadly mistaken.
I am 100% supported by fact.
Did you go to school with Ziggy?

A corporation is nothing but a piece of paper that can be changed at will. Yet that piece of paper deserves super human voting rights by being able to pay for a candidates marketing withoi]ut limit.
A CORPORATION IS NOT A PERSON AND MONEY IS NOT SPEECH.

Screw the Unions, the SCOTUS just gave China and Russia the ability to pick our leaders. That is what your deluded interpretation of the Constitution gave is.

So are you saying that the American populace is that naive and easy to manipulate? You don't seem to be giving much credit to Americans, while giving a ton of credit to Russia and China.

We do have the power to boycott companies, but we are inclined not to inconvenience ourselves too much (I am maybe more guilty than most on that score). Wal-Mart is cheap and convenient, Costco even more so and that is hard to walk away from.
I would personally like to see mass strikes, but Americans tend to think that's the domain of the fringe left. I did (in November) cancel my 401k and moved all my money from BoA to a local credit union -- that was a small tangible thing I could do.
I was an Obama hating fool for years until I saw what's going on. This decision was the shock of my life. You must be blind.
The people I share political views with, my peers, are Conservatives, and Republicans, I was active in Tea Party, and Conservative rallies. No more of that fantasy for me.
I know they are bogus Patriots, like you, defending the worst decision ever made by the Supreme Court.
You are full of it, and you keep proving it. You're pathetic. Dude.
I say Dude, that does not make me stupid. You're less than bright for assuming that. You talk a lot but just say the same thing over and over. That is a sign of insecurity.

Really ziggy who cares about this? Obamas middle name is hussein and he sounds like a muslim, thats what we should really worrying about. What about that modified AP article with the "kenyan born" Obama title?? What about the fact we dont have compulsory christian religous celebrations in our schools??? Who gives a damn about this? Freedom works said nothing about this, fox news told me to celebrate this ruling and Rush Limbaugh said this was a great ruling as well! Who gives a damn???
Fully manipulated.
Sure. Just check out this guy, your average American:

No "idiot" has denied that; can you show me where that happened? A corporation is a legal person.

Let me just clarify the problem in the room that some conservatives here continue to make excuses for.
A corporation is not a person, and while you may argue that a corporation consists of people, the entity in itself is that of a human being or a citizen. The entity itself is not deserving of constitutional rights as the constitution is for the people by the people.
By far the most worrying part of this ruling is over the fact many of america's corporations are owned and managed in part by foreigners who do not reserve rights under the constitution either, so this further establishes the fact that corporations or Unions are not deserving of such rights.

1st, SG knows the difference between citizen, person and individual; each of which are distinctly different in reality, legally and Constitutionally.
2nd, a corporation IS a "person," legally and Constitutionally.
3rd, it is abhorrent to contend that only "citizens" are entitled to Constitutional rights. Isn't this at the heart of the argument over "combatants" captured overseas and the rights they are entitled to in American courts?
