SOME people SEEM to think that JUST because some DOGS do it,, it MUST be a Constitutional RIGHT for HUMANS to do it....
I have seen Dogs mounting people's LEGS but THAT doesn't mean that they should have the LEGAL right to get married.. Dogs will ALSO mount Trees,,Telephone poles,, Fire hydrants and whatever else is handy at the time and NOT moving fast enough to get away....Kinda like Clinton.. ( LMAO,,Sorry..COULDN'T Help Myself...LMAO..)
To THOSE who Attempt to DISMISS the Will of the People by Stamping on THEIR rights,, I say…
Make NO mistake about it..This IS a LEGAL issue..NOT a Religious one..IT is PURE Laziness and it is indeed,, Intellectually Vacuous to attempt to MAKE a positive argument through a negative process involving the villification of those who do NOT share these views of the Left.... It has gotten to the point where SOME people SEEM to be under the mistakened impression that an argument can be won,, HANDS DOWN and without FURTHER DEBATE,, by merely pointing out that the opposition’s view is based on Religion or Conservatism..
I ASSURE you..YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG!!!!!!
The PEOPLE prove THAT time and time again JUST as they DID in THIS case..
And I FURTHER Assure you and ANYONE else of ANOTHER FACT of Life..
Religious People and Conservatives have a RIGHT to their Beliefs and they ALSO have the RIGHT to express those beliefs,, as OFTEN and as LOUDLY and in ANY public setting as they care to DO so… JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE…..INCLUDING YOU.. And their Views are EVERY bit the EQUAL,, their RIGHTS every bit as set in stone,, in terms of Importance and Legitimacy,, as YOUR’S….
One does NOT wiave their GOD GIVEN Constitutional Rights by FOLLOWING,, or EVEN Preaching,, the WORD of GOD or by expousing the views of Conservatism....
YOU people on the LEFT AREN’T tyrants YET and you STILL have a LOOONG way to GO before you’ll GET there…
THIS amendment has been portrayed as a DANGEROUS change and that portrayal is both intentionally DECIETFUL and WRONG.. Far from being a change,, THIS Amendement represents a TRADITIONAL View of marriage.. It IS,, in Fact,, a SAFEGUARD in Favor of the Traditional SANCTITY of marriage which HAS.. for some 60 years now,, been under a CONSTANT and Incessant barrage of assaults by the Left.. It is AGAINST a dangerous change and the manner in which that change is being attempted… AND,, the WAY in which this safeguard has been accomplished reflects an even MORE dangerous and INSIDIOUS Change that has been observed of late..,, The arbitrary and UNCONSTITUTIONAL ABUSE of POWER by Black Robed Political Accolytes of the Left that WE have come to know as the Federal Judiciary.. Those who DEFY the Will of the People… Those who consider themselves to be NOT only ABOVE the Law,, but ,, indeed,, consider themselves as the HIGH Priesthood OF the LAW..
And BTW..LET me clue some of you people IN on a REALITY of LIFE here...
NOBODY has a Constitutional RIGHT to be Married in the FIRST place..
If they DID,, One could SUE for NOT being Married... ONE could SUE each and EVERY person who EVER refused to marry you..
And HERE'S another one for you..
You DON'T even have a RIGHT to have SEX..
If you DID,, there'd be NO such thing as RAPE...ALL such Laws defining RAPE would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL...
This WHOLE business is an ATTEMPT at gaining a LEGAL recognition leading to what the supporters HOPE to eventually gain,,THAT being... The OVERALL acceptance by the General Population of THAT which they have ALWAYS REFUSED to accept.... And they will HAVE that recognition EVEN if that acceptance HAS to be accomplished by FORCE of LAW..
And as FAR as these rediculous examples of Naturally occuring acts of Homosexuality in animals is concerned,,, FAR from being an argument AGAINST the traditional view of the Sanctity of Marriage they are ,, IN FACT,,, EXACTLY the OPPOSITE…
Studies show that when these incidents of what appears to be same sex attempts to couple occur in nature there's usually an extra oridinary reason to account for it such as a LACK of Females.. THIS can orrur for ANY number of reasons.. It is DOUBTFUL that there is ANY attraction involved at all..JUST a STRONG Sex Drive and a COMPLETE LACK of Intellect and Self Control.. Something excusable and EVEN expected in Animals .. We do NOT assigned THAT level of responsibility to them..
THIS is MERELY an Instinctive Reaction to the onset of the Natural Sex Drive,, usually SEASONABLE in Nature and therefore overwhelmingly powerful,, But even THEN,, homosexual encounters in nature is NOT considered to be the Norm…..
It should ALSO be noted that EVEN in those creatures that normally MATE for LIFE,, such as in SOME species of birds,, where THIS Deviance from the norm ( And BTW..There is NOTHING inherently WRONG with BEING Normal ) has been observed,, there is NO such exclusive devotion between the individuals that can be even remotely defined as a lasting relationship.. The Individual of interrest,, if you will,, will invariably move ON to his NEXT target of interrest with NO more of an attachment then one would NORMALLY see exibited between the Sexual Miscreant and the other members of his OWN sex.. So,, though one MIGHT make an Argument that the ACT of Homosexuality MAY be occuring in Nature,, there is NO such evidence to suggest that the animal kingdom’s version of a MARRAIGE between same sex couples EVER takes place..
And BTW..
Exactly WHEN did WE,, as HUMAN BEINGS,, take our Cues from Animals ANYWAY???
Before you start opening THAT door it is well to remember ANOTHER thing about the Animal Kingdom…
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RAPE IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM…
No matter how VIOLENT,, FORCEFUL and yes,, EVEN INJURIOUS,, the MATING Process may be….
As we contemplate the rather Embarrassing Fall of the Republican Party resulting from these elections we must NO more DO so in a panic then we SHOULD have forgotten,, in our celebrations 12 years ago,, why we EVER won in the FIRST Place..
It is LONG past time when the Republican Party Should return to it’s Republican Values and Ideals and finally to realize that acting like Democrats was a FATAL Mistake and a TERMINALLY Flawed Strategy..
It is,,
TIME to PURGE the Party of RINOs and OTHER second string Democrats....
TIME to LOOK to the Future instead of the past..
TIME to WEED out the Old Timer Fossels more interrested in Party Power then the Good of the Country..
TIME to get RID of this "It’s YOUR turn " Heirarchy..
TIME that our Candidates REALIZE that the Possibility of GAINING Converts CANNOT take Precedence over the Loyalty to the Party’s ideals...
TIME to Modernize,, without abandoning TIME Honored Principles,, and LEARN to USE the resources that the other side has USED only too well..
TIME to Realize that to BECOME a Republican is to EMBRACE the Ideals of the Party,,NOT to have the Party Aquiesce to the Demands for COMPRIMIZE..
For FAR TOO long Comprimize was a REPUBLICAN thing to do..Working Across the aisle meant that ONLY Republicans made the Trip.. Comprimize,, as it ALWAYS does,, ONLY costs the one who’s DOING it..THIS has GOT to STOP…
But First..We have to face a reality..
WE were OUTGUNNED..
WE were OUTTALKED..
WE were OUTCLASSED..
WE were OUTSPENT..PERIOD..
Interrestingly enough,,McCain was Defeated by the McCain/Feingold Campaign Reform Act..He was DEFEATED when he COMPRIMIZED in that Violation of Free Speech,,LONG before he announced his candidacy,,HE WAS DEFEATED..
ONCE again..Crossing the aisle has resulted in a KNIFE in the Back for Republicans..
I have sat for LONG enough as the RINOs quothed in Pious ARROGANCE that Reaganism.. a PROVEN and WINNING Strategy,, is OBSOLETE and that the NEW Republican Party must SHIRK their Heritage of HONOR and INTEGRITY for the Ways of that "Other " Party.. Well,, We SEE where THAT gets us..MAJOR LOSSES IN THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS….
I mean REALLY,, THINK about it....WHO would want a SECOND STRING Democrat when the REAL thing is so easilly available???
It should NOW be evident that we MUST re-evaluate the Future of Our party..THIS election was between the Pick of the Media and the Pick of the Clintons..We must NEVER allow THAT to happen again..
A TRUE Republican,,One that STANDS for and LIVES the Ideals and Values that WE,, as a Party,, have ALWAYS claimed that WE stand for..would have run away with this election..HANDS DOWN..
NOW we find ourselves at a crossroads where WE define WHO and WHAT we TRULY are..and are GOING to BE..
Until we do THAT,,we have NO business worrying about the State of the Country for WE are NOT worthy of that concern..
FEAR NOT for this country because of THIS election..
THIS country is FAR STRONGER then YOU have been LED to believe..And They STILL have the People to contend with...
THAT which we CANNOT avoid we MUST endure..
And America is an ENDURING Nation if it is NOTHING else..
And you know that ole saying..THAT which doesn't KILL us makes us STRONGER..
I see us becoming FAR STRONGER then we EVER were before because of the Hurtles that NOW lie before us....
THIS is perhaps the BEST thing that could've happened as far as the Republicans are concerned..The Parties were getting FAR too much like each other and maybe,,JUST Maybe,, the Republican Party will FINALLY SEE the FOLLY in that..
MAYBE,,They'll QUIT acting like Democrats and START acting Like Republicans because MARK my words..
Tonight,, as FAR as THIS election was concerned,, ONLY the better of TWO DEMOCRATS won...
THIS is the Change that WE,,as Republicans,, MUST concern ourselves with BEFORE the Voices of REASON are SILENCED forever…
It is NOT a time to lay down in Defeat..NOT a time to throw in the Towel..Wallow in Self Pity..FAR from it..It is the TIME to GRASP the OPPORTUNITY for it IS clearly Knocking..
It is TIME to say..WE have ONLY begun to FIGHT..
NOW..MORE then EVER,,YOUR Country NEEDS you.. Are WE to FAIL her as our Leaders failed US???
NOT in MY America..
DON’T be FOOLED by the HYPE..
YOU know as well as I do that THIS campaign has been ONE revealing Statement after another by the Obama/Biden team and that the Obama HANDLERS have had to KEEP coming out OVER and OVER again to do DAMAGE CONTROL..
Saying that HE didn’t say THIS or that he REALLY Meant THAT.. That YOU didn’t HEAR them say this or that when you know DAMN well you did.. Basically,,they're calling you STUPID..
NOT to mention that this team says things and THEN CHANGES their Tune once the TRUTH hits the fan..They CHANGE their Message as Often as the Obama Cultists change their Ids on this site..
Don’t pay attention to what people who are MOTIVATED to LIE tell you what these guys said..
To THESE guys speaking the TRUTH about their Candidate is ATTACKING them..JUST like when Reid held up his OWN Voting Record that his oppostion was running against and called it SLANDER..
PAY ATTENTION TO THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES…It’s ALL right there in their OWN words..
Both Obama AND Biden have said that there will be NO COAL PLANTS running in THIS country when they get through with them..
THEY seek to FURTHER Cripple America’s ability to become ENERGY INDEPENDENT..
No WONDER the Middle East LOVES these guys..
Back in 2001 Seven years before Barack Obama’s "spread the wealth" comment to Joe the Plumber became a campaign issue, the current Democratic presidential candidate said in a radio interview that the U.S. has suffered from a fundamentally FLAWED Constitution that does not mandate or allow for the "Redistribution of Wealth"…
In a newly unearthed tape, Obama is heard telling Chicago's public station WBEZ-FM in 2001 that "redistributive change" is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.
The Warren court, he said, failed to..
"break free from the essential constraints in the U.S. Constitution and launch a major redistribution of wealth."
But then Obama, then an Illinois state senator, said that the legislative branch of government, rather than the courts, probably was the ideal avenue for accomplishing that goal.( Because COURTS are ALSO bound to that very SAME Flawed Constitution )
He went on to say,
"If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I’d be OK
But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. It says what the Federal Government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or the state governments MUST do on your behalf.
And that hasn't shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that."
Now.. "What’s the PROBLEM here",,you ask..Well..Beyond the fact that Obama has Demonstrated a PROFOUND departure from the intended ROLE of the Constitution,, he is willing to FUNDAMENTALLY change the ENTIRE Scope of the role that the Constitution PLAYS in Our Society..
His Disrespectful Reference to the Constitution as a "Charter of Negativity" and a " Fundamentally FLAWED Constitution" show that he has as Little Respect for that Documant as he does for ANY American Icon such as the American Flag..
Now..HERE’S something that the ACLU doesn’t WANT you to KNOW or WORSE yet,, to Understand…
As originally intended,,
The Constitution does NOT grant you ANY Positive Rights..in FACT,,there are ONLY three Positive rights enumerated in ANY of our Founding Documents and they are "Endowed" by OUR Creator,, NOT the Constitution..
THEY are,,,LIFE,,LIBERTY and the PERSUIT of HAPPINESS..
The Constitution is a Document that DIRECTS the PROHIBITIONS of the GOVERNMENTS in their DEALINGS with those THREE rights and THAT is it's ONLY Intended Function..
For Instance,, the Prohibition of ANY Law AGAINST Free Speech automatically RECOGNIZES and Respects the Positive right of LIBERTY.... In Passing a Negative Law AGAINST Murder you are recognizing and respecting the Positive right to LIFE.. and SO it goes..The TEN Commandments are the SAME way..
The Constitution,, for instance,, NEVER says that YOU have the right to Free Speech..It ONLY says that the Government cannot abridge or otherwise PROHIBIT that right..The LACK of such prohibitions RESULTS in your FREEDOM to speak your mind without FEAR of Government Intervention under the RIGHT of LIBERTY..
And THIS does NOT prohibit an Individual from doing so..THAT IS COVERED BY CIVIL LAW UNDER "CIVIL RIGHTS"..
Now..LET"S take Home ownership,, as but ONE example of the Obama Doctrine,, and see where Obama’s "Second Bill of Positive Rights" will take us..
Right NOW you have the ability to OWN a Home under the "PERSUIT of Happiness" "Right" endowed by OUR Creator IF INDEED you were to actually PERSUE that end..
Under Obama’s Doctrine of the "Second Bill of Rights".. EVERYBODY would have the RIGHT to own a Home at BIRTH ..
Sounds pretty Compassionate doesn’t it??WHO but a RWNJ could POSSIBLY be against THIS??
Until you realize that,,
By BIRTH you would have that right and it would FALL upon the Government to PROVIDE that home..in OTHER words..we would ALL pay for EVERYBODY to OWN a HOME..
And Since it’s a RIGHT..It would be up to the Government to INSURE that that individual ALWAYS had a home no matter HOW they took care of the LAST one..NOT owning a home or losing a home because you either Couldn’t or Wouldn’t be able to MAINTAIN a Home would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL..
And let’s not EVEN get into the LEGAL Litigations of ONE person’s CLAIMS to compensation should HIS house NOT be as Good as he percieves another’s..
This Redistribution of Wealth Doctrine that has been sparked by the Current Class Warfare Tactics of the Obamessiah,, the ONE who would bring us ALL together,, represents the Greatest Threat that THIS country has EVER faced,,IN time of War or NOT..
Our Founding Father's thought LONG and HARD about these weighty issues and the Constitution,, AS IT IS,, was the result..It was NOT by accident that we see this revered Document in the form that it is..
Spreading the Wealth will inevitably and invariably become,, as it has ALWAYS become whenever and wherever it has been tried,, synonymous with the Spreading of MISERY..
The media coverage of the race for president has not so much cast Barack Obama in a favorable light as it has gone out of it’s way to portray John McCain in a substantially negative one, according to a new study of the media since the two national political conventions ended.
For Obama during this period, just over a third of the stories were clearly positive in tone (36%), while a similar number (35%) were neutral or mixed. A smaller number (29%) were negative.
For McCain, by comparison, nearly six in ten of the stories studied were decidedly negative in nature (57%), while fewer than two in ten (14%) were positive.
McCain Obama
14% Positive 36% Positive ( More then Doubled for Obama)
29% Nuetral 35% Nuetral ( About the Same)
57% Negative 29% Negative ( ALMOST Doubled for Mccain)
Didn't feel the NEED to post a link..
THIS was ALL over the NEWS this Morning..
They Selected our Candidates,,NOW they're selecting Our President..
And OH Yes,,The Polls..Those pesky polls we've been subjected to EVERY day..
Have you noticed how the polls are tightening up as we get closer to election day??
DON'T let them FOOL you with a bunch of BS....Ohhh,,, THEY even made up a NAME for it now,,Something SINISTER Sounding.. Something that they IMPLY is RACIST..
They call it The BRADLY EFFECT after a Black Politician who LOST when the Polls saod that he should have WON..
DON'T fall for it..
There's ONE reason for this and ONE reason ONLY..
As we get closer to election day the PRIORITIES of the Pollsters SHIFT from trying to Manipulate Opinion to Salvaging some degree,,SOME semblence of Credibility..
ALL of a sudden ACCURACY counts MORE then anything else..
NOW they're worrying about getting CAUGHT WAY off the mark as they did in the LAST two elections..
It's a pitiful FOOL indeed that put's TOO much stock in them..
You’ve got TENS of THOUSANDS of Bogus Voter Registrations by Obama’s CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION,, ACORN,, being uncovered EVERY day and NOBODY seems to be able to do ANYTHING about it....Or for THAT matter..even WANT to…
This is FAR More then enough to determine the outcome in ANY of the Close States in recent elections and has the possibility of FOREVER altering or EVEN eliminating the Democratic Process of FREE ELECTIONS...
You have a JUDGE saying that a PARK BENCH is Suitable for voter eligability validation..
The SAME Judge says that ALL Questionable Votes MUST be COUNTED…
You have Obama PROSECUTERS Threatening those who OPPOSE Obama with LEGAL ACTION..
You have Obama’s GOONS using GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS to SMEAR Joe the Plumber..
You have Obama’s GOONS going after the FAMILY,, as they DID with Palin,, of a Reporter DOING HER JOB..
ALL this from a Chicago THUG who ONLY got elected into office by ILLEGALLY digging into his opponent’s PRIVATE ( the RYANS ) Background during a CUSTODY Battle and using Chicago Style EXTORTION to make him back out..
ALL this guy needs is a Pistol and he can DROP his LAST Name and change his FIRST one to SADDAM..
And if you THINK it’s bad NOW,,WAIT ‘till he STEALS the election..He’ll have the WHOLE Thuggish Democrat Congress backing him up…
I sat in STUNNED silence as I watched two prominenet MSM ULTRA-LIBERAL Reporters on PBS,, Brokaw and Moyers,, admit that after ALL is said and done,, the guy that THEY and the REST of the MSM is Wholeheartedly SUPPORTING in this race is someone that is a STRANGER to them..They REALLY know NOTHING about him…And to be HONEST,,THEY know MORE then WE'VE been able to find out... And WHY bother anyway??
If DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE of Close Relationships with KNOWN Terrorists just SEVEN Years after 9/11 doesn’t matter ,,,WHAT the HELL would???
He’s ALREADY made his HERO Hugo Chevez Proud and the Information BLACKOUT surrounding him would make the CIA Proud..
I go back to the Eisenhower/Nixon Administration and I’m HERE to tell you that I have NOT seen such a Overwhelming CONSPIRACY to SUPPRESS and/or TAMPER with INFORMATION such as I have seen with this Obama Character..NOT since the days immediately after the JFK Assassination..And we STILL don’t know the REAL story THERE….
But you Know,, It’s ONE thing to have to deal with these Cultists and their Socialist Leader..It’s QUITE another to watch our election Process be SO corrupted as to render IT and the Will of the American People MEANINGLESS..
I SWEAR People..I don’t care WHO you are or WHO you’re Voting for,,You have GOT to be concerned over ALL this Voter Tampering..
We’ve ALREADY had ONE Presidential Election go to the Courts..Thank GOD Justice Prevailed but is THAT how we want to DO these things from NOW ON???
On the OTHER hand,, I guess that That’s STILL better then having ACORN INSTALL a President..
Or am I WRONG.. Am I FINALLY seeing what Khruschev Predicted Lo those many years ago..
That DEMOCRACY would DIE from Within….It's ONLY a Matter of TIME.....
Whenever the Left gets it’s back slammed up against the wall they do TWO Things..LIE and DISTRACT…
For instance..I have as YET to see or hear ANYBODY ANYWHERE,, let alone McCain or Palin claim that Obama OR his Socialist’s Tax Plans were COMMUNISM..
The WORD used and the one that’s MOST ACCURATE and BEST describes Obama’s Plans is SOCIALISM..
Communism,,like Facism,, is MERELY TWO of the BEST Known types of Tyrannical Governments MOST associated with and NECESSARY for the Successful Implimentation of Socialism..TRUST the LEFT to NOT know the Difference between the two terms..
And HEY..Let’s Look at this ingenious comparison being made between Socialism and the People of Alaska Receiving DIVIDENDS from the Oil Company’s USE of the People of Alaska’s Resources..
So NOW if you receive Dividends or Royalties from a Corporation you are a Socialist..ROFLMAO..Won’t be LONG before the FREE MARKET system itself is Socialism too..After ALL..When you BUY something are you NOT "Redistributing " a Wealth??? According to the LEFT..You ARE…
Don’t fall for this..There is a CLEAR and DISTINCT definition of what Socialism IS..Don’t let them CONFUSE the ISSUE..
But Look..YOU think that Socialism in America is far fetched???Really???
The TRUTH is..YOU don’t HAVE to travel to Foreign Lands to see the FAILURES of Socialism and it's NOT in the Free market system OR Capitalism..it's IN the GOVERNMENT RUN Programs under the somewhat controversial name of ENTITLEMENTS..
We have spent TRILLIONS of Dollars on these problems since the days of FDR and the EXPANSION of his Programs under LBJ and we STILL have YET to see where a SINGLE problem has been Solved..
NOT ONE…
Poverty,, Hunger,, Joblessness,, Addiction to Drugs,, Dysfunctional Familes,, FATHERLESS families.. YOU NAME IT......ALL are the EPIDEMIC problems that they have ALWAYS been..MANY are WORSE then they USED to be..And quite a few have been ADDED…
FDR’s "New Deal" and LBJ’s "Great Society" are FAILED Socialist Promises and Policies that demand ever MORE and MORE with each passing moment to EXTEND their Failures.
Obama is RIGHT about the fact that these problems still exist but he’s LYING through his TEETH when he says that America has done NOTHING to address them..JUST as he’s LYING when he says that doing MORE of the SAME is going to Solve them..
Change HELL..Obama’s just offering MORE of the SAME…
Not ONE person has EVER been Taxed out of Poverty but before Obama is through a whole COUNTRY will be taxed INTO it..
I guess when the WHOLE Country has become just another miserable and failed Socialist State made bankrupt by the Obama’s of the world and we’re ALL sharing a common misery we can ALL be consoled with the notion that at LEAST and at LONG last,,
We are ALL Equal..
Job Growth - better under Clinton
Stock Market - better under Clinton
GDP - better under Clinton
Better under Clinton??? - AFTER the Republicans took over the Congress..
Today's Economic Problems & Crises??? - AFTER the Democrats took over the Congress..
LAST time the Democrats had the kind of Control over the Government that they're looking to get from THIS election - JIMMY CARTER..
NO one pays a DIME for ALL the Tax Breaks given in ALL of History..
ALL Taxpayers PAY for Socialism...And PAY And PAY And PAY……..
It JUST don’t break down ANY simpler then THAT People..
'Nuff Said
A person walks into a Home Depot,, Tells the employee that he wants to build a house and that he needs a hammer.. The Employee KNOWS that this guy’s going to spend a LOT of Money at Home Depot IF he treats his customer right so he takes a $10.00 Dollar Hammer off the Shelf and says
"I’m going to let YOU have this hammer for $5.00.."
Now,,The Happy Customer has gotten a BREAK..But it is NOT a Gift…He STILL has to pay a PRICE for the Hammer..
Now..LET’S say that this SAME customer comes in and there’s TWO people standing there..NOW the employee takes that SAME $10.00 hammer down off the shelf and says,,
"You have to pay $20.00 for this Hammer"
Naturally,,the SHOCKED Customer says..
"WHAT the hell FOR?? It ONLY says $10.00.."
To WHICH the employee responds..
"Yes,,THAT may be TRUE but Mark here Has EVERY right to that hammer that YOU do and he spent all his money on crack so YOU have to BUY it FOR him..And on TOP of THAT..WHEN you’re finished building your House YOU have to let Mark move IN with you.."
THEN the employee Bytches ‘cause that customer went ahead and got his hammer somewhere else..
Now,,,HOW many of you would put UP with this if YOU were that customer??
A LOT is being made of these Tax Breaks because supposedly ONLY the Wealthy are benefitting from them..How UNFAIR they are because the Government is "Giving" something to ONE Segment of Society that it doesn’t "GIVE" to all..
Well,, THAT’S Not true,, The Government is "Giving " NOTHING away with Tax Breaks..It is SIMPLY agreeing to reduce it’s TAKING AWAY of something that is NOT their’s to begin with....
The FACT of the matter is that TAX BREAKS are NOT socialism and they’re NOT Monies that the Government "Gives away" as is being contended NOR is the REST of America being left out in the Cold here..TAX Breaks are NOT welfare..They are based on TAXES..If you PAY no Taxes you should GET no Tax Breaks and ANY Break should be BASED on the Taxes that you PAY..
THAT'S BASIC LOGIC..
A TAX Break is a FRACTION of a TAX being Levied by the Government..
NOTHING’S being Given to ANYONE with a Tax Break.. People are MERELY being allowed to KEEP more of the Income that THEY EARNED..
It’s NOT the Government’s Money and it SURE as HELL AIN’T your’s either..
On the OTHER hand,, the So called Needy in this country being SCREWED because they receive Little or NOTHING in the way of TAX BREAKS because they PAY NO TAXES is a LIE..
THEY are NOT being Screwed at all… Tha fact of the matter is,,
According to the Budget for Fiscal Year 2008, Taken from the Office of Management and Budget the total outlays for Means Tested Entitlements in 2006 ( for ONE Year ) were $354.3 billion.
This was 2.7% of GDP and This Includes Medicaid, food stamps, family support assistance (AFDC), child nutrition programs, refundable portions of earned income tax credits (EITC and HITC) and child tax credit, welfare contingency fund, child care entitlement to States, temporary assistance to needy families, foster care and adoption assistance, State children’s health insurance and MANY MANY more such Programs GIVEN to people,, BY TAXPAYERS,, for SIMPLY existing...
Now..when you see "Tax Credit" THAT means an Outlay based on an ENTITLEMENT and USUALLY to a NON taxpayer whereas a Tax BREAK is BASED on TAXES to be Paid BY a TAXPAYER..
KEEP this in Mind when you hear Obama's Plans for the Reditribution of Wealth ( Socialism ) in his Rhetoric..
NO welfare recipient or ANYONE else for THAT matter ever paid a DIME to give someone a Tax Break but ALL TAXPAYERS pay to give someone ENTITLEMENTS..
So YOU tell ME..Who’s Screwing WHO????
It SEEMS that we have yet ANOTHER blogger who can’t STAND having the TRUTH come out..THESE people need to start a Church or something..They OBVIOUSLY can’t handle an HONEST debate and MERELY wish to PREACH their Views..
To YOU Jeok,, I say that turning off your comments is Counter Productive.. As you can PLAINLY see,, I,, and ANYONE else so inclined,, can merely take the debate to a higher level and I DARE say that MORE people will see it HERE then in the comments section of your post..
In your post you make the claim..
"It took a Democrat and World War II to pull the U.S. and the World out of that Far-Rightist (Fascist) predicament."
It is Interresting that you should call Fascism "Far Right" considering that BOTH the Nazi movement AND Communism grew out of a LEFTIST SOCIALIST Movement..MUCH like the one we're seeing Obama Champion today with his Class Warfare Tactics and his MARXIST’S Redistribution of Wealth Doctrine.... RIGHT out of the Maxust/Leninist Handbbok...
Socialism has ALWAYS been the GOAL of the Far Left..NOT the Far Right..
The Fact is that one MUST have a form of Tyranny in order to IMPLIMENT Socialism..
Socialism IS,, by Definition,, the antithesis to Freedom,, Liberty and INDIVIDUAL rights ALL in the name of the Collective Good which benifits NO ONE Save the upper heirarchy of a Tyrannical Government in power..
It is the very definition of CONTROL and CONTROL equals POWER over the People..
It SOUNDS all very well and good to SAY that it's "Economic Justice" to take from the "Haves " to GIVE to the "Have NOTS" until you see the concept put in Practice..
Stalin took from the Agricultural "Haves" to FEED the Pre WWII "Industrial Revolution" of "Have NOTS" back in the 30s and THAT resulted in 19 MILLION Farmers Starving to DEATH.. In MANY cases Mothers’ had to CHOOSE which Child should Live and which should Die as there was NOT enough provisions LEFT by SOCIALISM to FEED more then ONE..
THAT’S right.. 19 MILLION.. Far MORE then Russia LOST during the Nazi Invasion of WWII and Far MORE then the Number Of Jews Killed by Nazis during the Holocaust..
It is a Philosophy and a social order that REQUIRES a TOTALITARIAN Government to manage and ENFORCE it..
So,, as to your claim that Totalitarianism,, in ANY form,, is the SOLE pervue to the right,, I say,,,
THIS is NOT the FIRST time that the Left has accused others of what they themselves are guilty of..And WHY not??
They have the ENTIRE Liberal MSM to carry the water for them..
THEN in the comments section you respond with the following to a comment that you Obviously disagreed with and deleted..
"Sorry kippp. I didn't blame "those democrats." I blame the Get-Away-With-All-That-ICANS ... which are REPUBLICANS."
To which I reply..
It's ALSO interresting how you IGNORE the Democrats Culpability in our current financial crises here and lay ALL the blame on Republicans who had NOTHING to DO with this....
If there had been ONE Republican involved in or resposible FOR this at all,, JUST ONE,, HIS or HER skin and NAME would have been PLASTERED ALL OVER THE NEWS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS…
Investegations would have been called for,,nay DEMANDED.. by the Rightgeously Indignant Democrats..Special Prosecuters would have been empowered..Congressional HEARINGS would be going on DAY and NIGHT and DEMOCRATS would be PUSHING each other away from the Microphone in their haste to Condemn..We KNOW this..We SEE this ALL the time..
Case in Point,, Cunningham and Stevens get CONVICTED for Crimes that William Jefferson has YET to be EVEN be tried for YEARS after the Fact....NOR does it LOOK like he'll EVER be Tried for them..
You can CERTAINLY COUNT on it NEVER HAPPENING if the DEMOCRATS GAIN Total control again..But THAT won't STOP them from Holding up Cunningham and Stevens as examples of Corruption either,,
But Hey,,Let’s not stop THAT from having the TRUE Party of CORRUPTION seek to accuse Republicans as a GROUP..
The FACT is that FAR from this being a matter of a FAILURE of the Free Market System it IS a result of GOVERNMENT INTERFERRENCE IN the Free Market system by DEMOCRATS.
NO business person would have EVER KNOWINGLY made BAD LOANS if they weren't FORCED to DO so by the Governmet..
NOR was this caused by ANY so called Republican opposition to Regulation and/ or Oversight..
There were BOTH.. The PROBLEM was ( and still IS ) that the WRONG people were doing the OVERSIGHT…
There were HEARINGS held as far back as 2002 by the various Congressional Oversight Committees convened for the purpose of addressing the concerns brought forth by the REGULATORY Agency,, OFHEO,, over the loominmg crises being CAUSED by ACORN and Freddie and Fannie..
The DEMOCRATS response was to ACCUSE the Head of the Agency of RACISM and to threaten it's FUNDING if it didn't DROP the matter..
During this period, Dodd,, in his role as CHAIRMAN of the Senate BANKING committee and who was sucking Sweetheart DEALS from Coutrywide at the time ( Kinda SOUNDS like what Stevens was doing doesn’t it??) ,, denied rumors these firms were in financial crisis. He called the firms "fundamentally strong" said they were in "sound situation" and "in good shape" and to "suggest they are in major trouble is not accurate"..
ALSO during this Period,, Barney Franks,, As CHAIRMAN of the House FINANCIAL services Committee,, Echoed Dodd in his Denials of ANY problems with Freddie and Fannie, saying,,
"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." In OTHER words,, the less BAD Loans they can make…
And WE turned around and gave these SAME people $850 Billion to FIX a Problem that they both CREATED and denied..
THAT’S where WE Republicans can be said to be Stupid..We CONTINUE to TRUST DEMOCRATS even though it has and ALWAYS will lead to Disaster....
To which I respond..
The MANDATED Non Profit Non Partisan ACORN ( that WE are PAYING for ) and the OBAMA Campaign have done a marvelous job of defending ACORN’S criminal activities..
They CALL it SUPPRESSION of the Vote to Complain that NON Citizens ( Illegal Invaders ) are being ENCOURAGED to Vote..
They CALL it SUPPRESSION of the Vote to Complain about the ILLEGAL Felon Vote..
They CALL it SUPPRESSION of the Vote to Complain about people voting MORE then ONCE or EVEN in Multiple STATES..
They CALL it SUPPRESSION of Votes to complain about DEAD People,, Farm Animals,, PETS and/or CARTOON Charaters voting..
They CALL it SUPPRESSION of Votes to COMPLAIN about their "Phone Book" Drives where THEY sign up people WITHOUT their Knowledge OR Consent like they did with the Dallas Cowboys in Colorado..
They TRASHED the Military Votes like they’re DOING in VIRGINIA TODAY and as they did in Florida and Pennsylvania during the LAST two elections..
The MSM would have YOU believe that an Obama Win is a Foregone Conclusion..They have CONSISTANTLY manipulated the Polls to make YOU believe that it’s USELESS to support ANY OTHER CANDIDATE and SUPPRESS your vote..
They have done ALL of the above to NULLIFY your vote SHOULD you SEE through their Plot....
You KNOW..We’ve been hearing a LOT about Obama’s Socialist "Redistribution of Wealth" plans and MOST of America is APPALLED at the Suggestion but EVEN as we debate the Merits and the Pitfalls of that philosophy Obama and his Cronies have been engaged in the
"Redistribution Of the VOTE"
right under our Noses..
An ILLEGAL INVADER’S,, Hell,, EVEN a CARTTON CHARATER’S,, vote NOW takes Precedence over the votes of our men and women in uniforn who are FIGHTING,, sometimes shedding their BLOOD and sometimes EVEN DYING,, for those VERY FREEDOMS…
THIS is NOT a minor matter..For EACH Illegal Vote that ACORN and OBAMA get out there,, there's a LEFGITIMATE vote by an AMERICAN CITIZEN that is renderred USELESS..It DON'T count..It is MEANINGLESS...
THAT is a SUPPRESSION of the Vote if EVER I heard it..
SO I ask,, IF the Obamessiah is such a Shoe-in for this election,,One has to wonder WHY it IS that THEY find the NEED to CHEAT…
DON’T be Discouraged,,
It AIN’T over ‘till it’s Over..
You KNOW what bothers ME??
NOT that Obama’s running for President..We’ve had EXTREMISTS running before and we’ve Always RECOGNIZED them for who and WHAT they are.. Nothing NEW there except,,, NOW it doesn’t SEEM to matter..
It would be BAD enough if THIS was what America TRULY wanted But,,,
What TRULY Bothers ME is how CLOSE this guy’s getting..How FAR he’s being Pushed by NON Americans both IN and OUT of this Country,, the Cavalier attitude towards OBVIOUS Voter Fraud on the part of the American Citizen and the ramming of an AVOWED American Bashing Socialist with TERRORIST Ties down the throats of the American People by those who HATE America..
Hell,,, WE don’t EVEN care that a SELF avowed UNREPENTENT Terrorist who ESCAPED Justice is NOW a "respected" PROFESSOR at a MAJOR University..A man who just FOUR YEARS AGO expressed PRIDE in his past Crimes and a DESIRE to REPEAT them..
And HERE’S the Kicker..It’s being DONE with America Bashing,,THREATS and INSULTS directed at the American People and a Mocking of the American Way of Life..And it’s been FAR too successful to be IGNORED….
EVEN if McCain WINS we will STILL have this ongoing Problem.. It WON’T go away..It DIDN’T go away as MANY said it would back in the 60s when it was confined to pockets of insanity in California and it WON’T go away Today as we find it prevalent in the Universities,, the Media,, and NOW,, EVEN in our GRADE SCHOOLS..
Socialism and it’s Inherent NEED for Totalitarianism is ON the Move in America and HAS been for SOME time,,DECADES in Fact… WE will EITHER face UP to it and FIGHT it in the Name of FREEDOM or we will Succumb to it....
However,,, As it Looks NOW..
It would SEEM that Osama bin Laden had it ALL wrong after all when he said that America would RUN away after getting a Bloody Nose..
It Seems MORE likely TODAY that she will SURRENDER her FREEDOMS to AVOID one..
"MSNBC Teams Up With ACORN, La Raza
by Amanda Carpenter
(P)MSNBC has launched a news project with a variety of left-wing special interest groups to boost their Election Day coverage and help (Sic ) viewers experiencing problems at the polls.
One of the groups involved in MSNBC's "Election Protection" project is the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. ACORN has been involved in rampant voter registration fraud across the nation this election cycle and is actively supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama for president.
"Our partnership with Election Protection will play a major role in NBC News' 'Making Your Vote Count’ coverage, said Phil Alongi, Executive Producer of NBC News' Election Coverage in an Oct. 22 press release. "Not only will we be able to direct voters who are experiencing problems with a hotline to call, we will also have our team of reporters and producers follow-up on the information Election Protection is gathering."
When asked for comment about ACORN's role in the project MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines wrote Townhall in an email "this a question for them, not us."
Most of the groups MSNBC wants their viewers to contact and shape their news coverage on Election Day have extreme liberal agendas ranging and focus on variety of issues including housing, gay rights, amnesty, environmental policies and labor.
The National Council of La Raza, U.S. Pirg, NAACP, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Law Association, Sierra Club and the Service Employees International Union are among Election Protection's many partners.
ACORN is not listed as a partner on the Election Protection's main website, but is listed as a partner on a promotional flyer.
These groups actively lobby Congress to support liberal policies. Most of them are openly supporting Barack Obama and other Democrats in the November elections.
Election Protection claims to be non-partisan. None of their listed partner groups, however, lean conservative.
Daytime anchor David Shuster promoted the effort Wednesday by telling viewers, "NBC is making your vote count. If you have a question about voting or problems at the polls, our partners at Election Protection can help. They have trained volunteers available to answer your questions. Call 1-866-***-**** if you have a question or if you run into or see any problems."
Anchor Contessa Brewer has similarly hyped the project. The Election Project features a snippit of her telling viewers about the project on their website. She described MSNBC's relationship with Election Protection as an "exclusive partnership"."
Can anybody,,ANYBODY at ALL,,,, STILL try to make the claim with a STRAIGHT Face that the MSM ISN’T in the TANK for Obama??
Okay ..LET’S put this into perspective here..
We have a couple of Blogs LOUDLY proclaiming that McCain is being endorsed by some obscure Terrorist Group that NOBODY has ever heard of before..
SOMETHING called al-hesba or al-vespa or something like that..
WE are TOLD that they want to DO this in order to FURTHER their World Conquest Dreams and that ONLY McCain will do for this purpose..
Ok C’MON….
THIS is NOTHING more then a LAME attempt to COUNTER the Biden Revelation that an OBAMA Presidency,, NOT a McCain one,, would Spur INTERNATIONAL incidents of Terrorism and that EVEN those who SUPPORT Obama would QUESTION and EVEN OPPOSE Obama’s reaction and REACT to that..He was BEGGING them to NOT do to Obama what HE and the REST of the Left has done to BUSH for the LAST 8 years...
But,,,as USUAL the LEFT has gone WAY overboard with their outrageous claims..
Common Sense will tell you that IF some terrorist group REALLY wanted to endorse a Candidate they’s DO so SECRETLY and they’d KEEP their REASONS secret IF they REALLY wanted THAT candidate to WIN....
The FACT that "they" REVEAL their "Intentions" RIGHT before the Election tells ME that this whole thing is SUSPICIOUS at BEST....
THIS whole thing was PROBABLY hatched on some reporter’s Desk at PMSNBC….
Let me Put it THIS way..Imagine if HITLER had ENDORSED Truman in 1948... We’d have had a DIFFERENT President.. A President that Hitler ACTUALLY wanted.. This is Nothing more then GRADE school Reverse Psychology.. THAT’S all that’s going on HERE..
C’mon People..DON’T buy this GARBAGE..And DON’T buy the Manipulated POLLS or the MSM predictions either..
ALL this desparation tells ME that the LEFT don't believe them..
THIS election AIN’T over yet and the LIBERALS’ DESPARATE attempts to MANIPULATE you are PROOF of that..
We ALL remember when Obama,, when answering a question about the Illegal Immigration Problem with regard to Language rather pompously replied that AMERICANS and NOT the Illegals needed to learn a second language..
What we DIDN’T know at the time and what has become so PAINFULLY apparent SINCE this election campaigning began is that the Obamessiah Machine has worked diligently towards THAT very end..
It SEEMS that the USE of the term Socialism to descibe Obama’s SOCIALIST political Philosophy is NOW yet another of the incalculable number of RACIST BUZZWORD in the English Language..
It SEEMS the ONLY way to avoid being labeled a Racist in America these days is to,, as the Obamessiah has commanded,,
LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE…
THIS is the GUY to bring the Races together???
By Crying Racism at EVERY opportunity??
THINK about it…
