    Mine is Wall Mart backwards. I was trying to be original, and at the time I thought it was. As it turns out, it's not that original.

    Ah well.

    I took a national poll and the overwhelming majority of registered voters and the adult population in general agreed with me that there was this distrust of modern day liberalism--thus the popular moniker....'LIBHATER'

    I combined my children's names and liked the way it sounded...
    That or I simply wanted to combine my freakish obsession with comic books and Russian history...
    You decide....

    The american experiment, more specifically, but 'us' has to be the abbreviation. The declaration of independence, the constitution, the BASIS for the american idealogy.. that is what i'm a fan of.. i see it as the best way for the most freedom for the most people in the history of mankind. But other than that, it's just another ideology. :D

    Can't disagree, I really like those values too.

    You must hate what's really going on in America today with all these people eroding those values in order to turn it into some sort of tyranny.

    It was a joke.

    There's a fair amount of hostility towards people from California in some parts of America because California is dominated by leftists and liberals, so the automatic assumption will be if you're from California you're going to be one of those.

    I'm a Jewish Democrat. I call myself a liberal but there are many who say my positions are conservative. I'm pro-Israel, pro-fracking, and don't believe in man-made global warming. And I voted for Bush II in 2004, McCain and Romney. To some that makes me conservative. Go figure.

    i'm pro-Israel myself.

    Not everybody in America is so hung up on partisan politics, but those tat are seem to proliferate on discussion boards, so please don't judge all Americans by those people. They really have no choice in the matter and can't help themselves.

    So what is po-fracking?

    Pro-fracking, oil and gas extraction method where you put pressure into fissures to release oil and natural gases deep underground. You collect the oil/gas that escapes. Has become more popular due to being profitable because of rise in price of energy and technology advancement.

    Fracking is a contraction of "hydrolic fracturing" and is an unconventional way of producing oil and natural gas. It has caused U.S. oil production to significantly expand. There are now reserves in states such as Pennsylvania (production under way) and New York (production on hold because of enviro-wackos and Governor Cuomo). Fracking has the potential to end the distortion of Mid-East policy throughout the U.S. and the world.

    The "Environmental Whackos" are concerned that fracking is dangerous to human health. Primarily because of the effects already documented .

    [video=youtube;4LBjSXWQRV8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LBjSXWQRV8[/video]

    "GUTHRIE, Okla. -- The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded eight small earthquakes shaking central Oklahoma in a span of about 30 hours.

    The temblors are part of an increase in earthquakes across Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas that some scientists say could be connected to the oil and gas drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and especially the wells in which the industry disposes of its wastewater.

    On Monday morning, no damage or injuries were reported after a 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck northern Oklahoma. The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake was recorded at 2:15 a.m. about 10 miles southwest of Medford and 21 miles north of Enid. The quake was about 4.8 miles deep.

    Sunday's quakes ranged from magnitude 2.6 to 2.9 and were centered in the Guthrie, Jones and Langston areas, 15 miles to 30 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. The USGS said the quakes were recorded between 7:57 p.m. Saturday and 9:51 a.m. Sunday. No injuries or damage were reported.

    Those follow four other quakes, including a 4.3-magnitude temblor near Langston recorded shortly after noon Saturday. The other Saturday morning quakes ranged in magnitude from 2.9 to 3.2."
