Q. What is the difference between Karl Marx's 1848 Communist Manifesto and the 2010 Democratic Party manifesto?
A. 162 years.
The Democrats favor :
(1) The nationalization of private companies, e.g. General Motors, Chrysler.
(2) Heavy graduated income taxes, repeal of the Bush tax cuts
(3) Reintroduction of the death tax
(4) The centralization of credit through nationalizing banks, such as Bank of America.
(5) Controlling broadcasting through the "Fairness Doctrine"
(6) A peacetime paramilitary force coequal with the military
(7) Redistribution of wealth
(8) State run public education.
Conclusion:
The Democratic Party is a Marxist party.
"That's not even to mention the left's position in favor of abortion on demand right up to the moment of birth, gay marriage, the welfare state, wasteful spending, onerous regulation, election fraud and a host other issues..." D. Anderson
And all that is needed for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.

Is Toyota trying to pull the "floor mat" over our eyes?
Toyota says don't believe the critic (work of David W. Gilbert, an automotive technology professor at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale). Toyota is rebutting claims that electronics are to blame for runaway cars, but it's beginning to look more and more like we shouldn't believe Toyota.
It is aleged that a new Toyota Prius when out of control at speeds up to 90 miles per hour as a California Highway Patrol cruiser acted as the brake on a California freeway. The Toyota Prius driver said: ‘It (the gas pedal) jumped and then it just stuck there’ -
Are things out of control at Toyota? One gets the feeling they are either ignorant of the problem, or trying desperately to "cover-up" something. Perhaps there's an oversized floor mat covering up the executive offices in Nagoya.
In recent months, Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide due to acceleration issues.
Last August, off-duty CHP Officer Mark Saylor was killed along with his wife, her brother and the Saylors' 13-year-old daughter after the accelerator of the Lexus ES350 they were in got stuck as they drove on State Route 125 in La Mesa.
The Toyota-manufactured loaner vehicle slammed into the back of a sport utility vehicle at Mission Gorge Road in Santee at about 100 mph, careened off the freeway, hit an embankment, overturned and burst into flames. All four family members died at the scene.
Sheriff's investigators determined that the deadly crash was caused by a sticking gas pedal trapped by a wrong-sized floor mat.

Beauty of Mathematics!

9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321

11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
Mind Boggling...
Now, take a look at this... 101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%...
How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Toyota Boasts About Recall Savings
Internal document shows car company saved millions by delaying safety regulations, avoiding defect investigations.
I guess killing people isn't quite as expensive as they thought it would be.
Ah, but wait til the courts in America get through with them.
