Jobs summit?

Jobs summit?

This guy is the PRESIDENT?

Let me make it simple for him to understand. There is only ONE THING the government can do to help the private sector create jobs: cut corporate taxes. Period.

With each passing day I become more convinced that Obama is the product of an environment that always rewarded his mediocrity with acclaim and rewards previously reserved for the exceptional... much like the trophy a last place T-Ball team gets that looks just like the first place team's.

The socialist gulag!

As long as there are hypocritical fools like Libby who demand your property be confiscated by the government to provide healthcare, or what ever else she wants you to buy for her that day, then cry foul when they confiscate your property to provide another service she doesn't want I will "DISTRUST BUT VERIFY".

The socialist gulag!

Ultimate homogenus chaos IS ultimate homogenus order... depending on POV. POV outside the system it is order, POV inside the system it is chaos. Collectivism is POV outside the system, individualism is POV inside the system. This is why collectivism can never work in a large system, you can't see details from outside the system, it all looks the same until they are HUGE. Collectivism allows statistical "clusters" to go unnoticed. In a political system this will be corruption... unequal opportunity, favoritism, use of political position for personal gain. Individualism allows statistical "clusters" to be identified and addressed locally. No one person or small group of people can stand outside a large system and work to break up clusters, to break up corruption. ONLY when the whole system is broken up into smaller systems and formed into a loose confederation can local action be responsive in an accurate and timely manner to break up coruption "clusters" before they get big enough to be identified as a pattern from POV outside the system.

I wonder what the "Numb3rs" guy would say?

The socialist gulag!

OH! Did you know that New York just passed a law that allows PRISONERS TO WORK FOR NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA, ACORN ETC...?

Can you say RE-EDUCATION?

The socialist gulag!

Do you remember when I was discussing socialism and the ways it can be a viable economic model?

Remember that I said small tribes MUST use socialism as their economic model because their populations were too small to allow natural random desires to fill all holes in an economy?

Remember what I said those tribes do to those who don't fill the hole they are told to fill?

Remember I said they either kill them or banish them from the tribe?

Remember I said that the same thing would happen if a large society were to use socialism as an economic model?

Remember the Russian forced labor and re-education gulags?

Remember YOUR PRESIDENT just said you SHOULD GO TO JAIL IF YOU DON'T BUY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BUY!

Don't blame me, I warned you.

Rachel Maddow Destroys US Rep

Verite`... there is no wonder you like Maddow. Like you think people have multiple X and Y chromosomes, Maddow thinks the Constitution doesn't have a Preamble but the Declaration of Independence does.

You are both friggin' clueless.

Liberal Democrats ruin the country

Verite' says:

"FOX news stories are riddled with error and are not usually news."

Name ONE error that they have made that they didn't correct as soon as they new about it.

By the way, have you cracked that elementary school science book to get up to date on your basic gender genetics?

Why would ANYONE take a thing you say seriously when you think sexual orientation and secondary sexual characteristics and behavior are based on the number of X and Y chromosomes someone has? I thought liberals were supposed to be the intellectuals and conservatives were supposed to be the knuckle draggers?

Verite`? More like "Reproba".

Libby.... clueless

Libby! Don't you relize that the forfeiture crap you are crying about is a DIRECT RESULT OF TOO MUCH GOVENRMENT IN OUR LIVES! And you LOVE government telling everyone what to do.

You do not go a day without demonstrating your colossal hypocrisy. You want government telling people what to do as long as it is something YOU want, then you cry about it when they do something YOU don't want them to do. When are you going to learn that only by restricting the scope of government to the guide lines described in the Constitution will we keep them in check? Will you learn when Fanny M. buys your house from the county after the county uses imminent domain to steal it from you and then charges you rent at 125% of your old mortgage payment?

Would you believe....

A prominant male Columbia University architecture professor and a female university employee got in a bar fight after an argument about "white privilege". One was white and the other black. The professor: Mr. McIntyre, punched Camille Davis: a production manager for the drama department. The priviledged and tenured black professor was arguing that the white production manager wasn't doing enough to fight "white privelege".

Can you imagine a man so accomplished as to have reached what many people would consider the top of his field, an Ivy League professor, could argue that a lowly production manager wasn't doing enough to fight the mythological "white privelege" that apparently didn't get in his way? When she apparently dissagreed with him he PUNCHED HER with a sucker punch to the face!

Lou Dobbs calls it Quits at CNN

Look for Dobbs at Fox after Christmas.... Taking bets!

We are not stupid Libby

Coburn has a hold on the funding bill because the Dems tied a bunch of unrelated pork to pay off their fundraisers to it.

Your bull crap might fly with the stupid, there are none here.

Obstruct it!

"Governance" is tyarnical force. There can never be anything wrong with obstructing tyranical force.

Deeds and Obama

Brad, don't congress people not only have a duty to represent their constituent's desires but also inform their constituents that their desires are not in keeping with the tenets of the US Constitution as their oath of office mandates with it's requirement that congress protect the Constitution? Shouldn't we consider congress people who violate that oath by voting to enact unconstitutional law traitors and impeach them?

Are we not a republic instead of a dirty mob democracy that follows a 50.01% majority opinion willy nilly?

"V"

The entertainment blogs are buzzing with young writers making comparisons between the new show "V" and the Obama administration. They are saying that the show was developed to be a comment on the Obama Administration. They could not be more wrong.

The new show has the same plot line as the old show. Maybe the bloggers are too young to have seen the original? Sexy aliens wearing man-skin suits over lizardman bodies show up and offer to eradicate human disease through high technology in exchange for a simple chemical they need to save their home world. The whole time they are subverting the media, using art to influence, trading favors with the rich and powerful, indoctrinating the young, asking people to report others who are opposed to the new order, attacking those who are vocal against them, and Oh! By the way, herding people into cattle cars (I mean storage compartments on the ships) to go to their deaths.

One of the scenes in the original miniseries that has stuck with me since I first saw it is when the old jew holocaust survivior showed a young man how to tag a Visitor "Friends" recruitment poster with the letter "V". At the time, I thought the show was a metaphor for how the Nazis gained power in Germany.

The new "V", just like the old "V", is not about the Nazis or "Obamania". It is a remake of the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" fable. Instead of a wolf infiltrating the sheepherd's flock to take away his source of food and income, "V" is about a general oppressor coming to take away your freedom, your source of food and income, under the guise of bringing safety and prosperity. It is about the strategy used, not a specific incident.

If parallels can be drawn between both the Nazis and the Obama Administration, it is their own fault. There is an end to that fable and it is the same end that the Nazis met.
