Why are you digging this down? You know it's true. If you are a republican you should give me a thumbs up (well, most republicans haven't evolved to the point of 'thumbs' yet, so digits up) for bashing the democrats. And the democrats should give me thumbs up for constructive criticism that you KNOW is true.They'll let them off the hook. They always do. No president in history was less impeachable than Clinton, but he was impeached. No president in history was more impeachable than Bush, and it was never even tried.
Yup, pretty confident.It's the difference between liberals and morons. They do fantastic work, they really do. It's just that I have to tell them to do it. I don't know how many times I've heard 'finished soldering, chief.' Great. How about plugging it into the component to see if it works? They are good at the meaningless details - but I have to supply the overall reason and motivation. I do things because they need done; they do things because they are told to. They have less motivation than my dog. No hyperbole.Actually, now that I think about it, that explains why your posts are so long and boring. Details, spelling errors: you are mired in the minutia. I have to supply the overall context and philosophy. Why is Bush such an appalling president? Why does the economy tank every time a republican is in office? How could Clinton get in and out of such a dangerous war so quickly and with zero American casualties, while the republicans keep funneling men and women into the meat grinder with no results to show for it? These are questions I have answers for. You, on the other hand, know the date some meaningless event happened. Luckily, I think the bulk of the American people are finished with your incompetence, corruption and stupidity (Your party, not you personally. You are nobody.)I didn't even notice you called me Roger. Just didn't care so it didn't stand out at me. But, just a hint -- any joke you have to explain isn't a very good one.Oop. There I go again. Comic theory. I just can't help seeing the big picture.
"What are you going to do when Obama and the Democratic congress cuts your taxes and improves your economy?" The programs that Obama proposes will require massive tax increases. If they "cut" my personal taxes, it will be more than made up for with increased taxes on businesses. Of course, those increases will only affect those that buy things from those businesses or have stock in them- oh wait, that's just about everyone.
"I see someone watched Fred Thompson's speech to the great unwashed last night."Actually, I volunteer at our local mission center once a week and last night I was busy preparing meals for homeless people, so all I got home in time for was the last half of Leiberamn's speech. I do think the "great unwashed" comment is pretty telling of your condescension though."When you tax business they still have to be market competitive. That will keep prices reasonable. If they can't they'll go out of business and be replaced by someone with a more visionary model."That kind of reasoning is just absurd. Visionary model? You mean the federal government confiscating more and more wealth from the private sector? That kind of thinking, especially in the face of recession, is a dangerous burden on the economy. Wanna talk about the New Deal? The Government Spending Report and the Government Growth Report show the federal government increased its spending at a rate much faster than growth of the economy (nearly twice as fast) since the end of World War II. Where does the spending go? Social Programs consume 56% of the budget. To place this in perspective, in 1948 social spending was but 10% of the federal budget - - prior to the New Deal it was near zero. And that spending has nothing to do with fixing roads, it's a bloated, wasteful money grab by the welfare state. Last fiscal year (2007) the federal government spent $2.8 Trillion - - or about $9,223 for each man, woman and child in America, up 6% over the prior year. Oh and by the way, that 56% of Social Spending is compared to 20% spending by the military- the federal priority of our founding fathers."Bush/Thompson is just 'borrow from the Chinese and bill the kids.' (I won't even start on the unnecessary leverage this give the Chinese over almost every aspect of our economic and political lives.)I agree that Bush, along with the Democratically-controlled Congress is to a large degree responsible for ballooning our debt, but how is it that you throw Fred Thompson into the mix? Last time I checked, he hasn't been in power for some time.Every major federal Social Spending program has been a nightmare of waste, corruption and fraud. You who want to nationalize health care don't even realize or care that Medicare and Medicaid fraud ALONE equals about $33 billion each year. Worse, it's ridiculously easy to cheat the federal government and taxpayers out of millions of Medicare and Medicaid dollars. You think government-run health care in its entirety will be any better?I don't understand people like you who want to replace our once-great country, a land where the entrepreneurial spirit and individualism has spawned so many great achievements, cures and untold wealth with a Nanny State. It's disgusting. If you want to help people, get up off of your ass and do it, don't confiscate people's hard-earned money with the help of Big Brother, then spread it around as you pat yourself on the back for your "compassion."
You don't want to be called the great unwashed, then be smarter. Until then I calls them as I sees them. That make me 'pretentious?' Maybe. But there is plenty of soap in the world -- all you gotta do is wash. The difference between ignorant and stupid is when you are ignorant you have no opportunity to learn. You are stupid when the knowledge is all around you and you still don't learn. You, my friend, are stupid.I hope what you say about helping the poor is true. It would be nice to think even a total kool-aid drinker like you can do some good.Just because it points out the lie in what you believe doesn't make it absurd. Read it again. I'm talking about vision from the private sector. But you knew that, you just couldn't combat the statement on its own terms. The rub is, you BELIEVE. You've been told what is what first, then you went looking for data, but it doesn't work. I can poke holes in your theories (read that as: blind, mindless belief) and you can't poke holes in mine. The best you can do is pretend to misunderstand and move on to the next pile of meaningless, out of context data. You are dead in the water, like the rest of your party.Tell me WHY it's absurd. I don't care about your uninformed opinion - convince me you know what you are talking about. You just said it was absurd then went off on the New Deal. I don't know what you are trying to get at, everyone agrees the New Deal worked, even Friedman thinks it worked, but just by accident.Wow. You think the military was the priority of the founding fathers? It's hard to discuss reality with someone that ignorant. The founding fathers were concerned with a just government. Never mind. I'm not getting off on that tangent. It's hard enough to keep this to the topic.Thompson made the statement. That's why I added him. Again, you know that and are just desperate to find something wrong in what I say. Good luck.Uh, no. Don't worry, I blame the democrats for a LOT of failings, but that isn't one of them. Bush had a servile, almost slavish Republican corruption mechanism commanding both houses for SIX years. That is when this asinine debt was racked up. Have the Dems done enough to gut out the Republican looting? No they have not. But they didn't do this. Like most problems in this country is was of the Reps, by the Reps and for the benefit of those very few Reps at the top of the hierarchy. YOU got nothing out of it. But then why should they give you anything? They already have you mindless obedience. You don't deserve anything. They have more contempt for people like you than I do.I do want to nationalize healthcare. We would have had a viable Auto industry today if we had done in back in the 90's when the idea was first floated (by who? Hillary!) Right now 30% of the price of a car is in healthcare of the workers. How much of the price of a Chinese made car is in healthcare? 0.0%. So who is going to win in the end when their cars can be 30% cheaper than ours? Frankly, I've given up on that industry. The American auto industry is terminal. It won't survive.Every federal program is a nightmare of waste and corruption. It's always been that way. How can it be otherwise when red states only send corrupt thugs like Ted Stevens and blue states only send weaklings like Reid? Fix it! If your car has a flat tire fix it, don't throw out the car and hope you can hitch everywhere. You fix the car.Do I think Government run health care will be any better? I'm not wildly optimistic. But I know it CAN do better. I just don't know if it will. We have complicated mechanisms to manage the government. We have ZERO control over companies. Government CAN be corrupt thieves - companies ARE corrupt thieves. They produce quarterly reports about it. Sometimes I even get a bonus report when the looting has been especially profitable.I could fill a landfill with things you don't understand. You don't seem to understand a lot. Buzz words aside, are you a great entrepreneur? If not, why not? Odds are it's because you don't have enough money to get off the ground. All problems boil down to this: not enough money in the hands of the common man. Money is like water: if it's flowing its fresh and useful. If it stands still it goes stagnant. I've produced more innovative products than ExxonMobile.One last thing. When exactly was this 'once great' nation great? Most people put the peak between 1935-1965. When did it start to tank? 1970. Do I have to spell it out for you?
Well, it's been two days. I guessing you've run out of foolish comments. Good. Now if you could only think, you'd be much better off.I'm by nature an optimistic man. You may hate me personally, but if I can get you thinking, it will be good for you and good for the country.Cheers.
