>>>i don’t CARE about “promises” being kept to Seniors.
why are they “entitled” to more money than they put in,
at the expense of our children and GRANDCHILDREN ???>>>

Because they paid in the amount it would have cost for their care at the time they earned it. Or would you expect someone earning $50 a week to have paid in $80,000 a week? And just who created the high prices of today? Liberals and their desire to bankrupt America.

I love it. We know that Romney is not going to carry MA anyhow. I just hope it doesn’t cause a backlash for Scott Brown.

What could have been a powerful message is destroyed by going one step too far. Imagine this photo without the words "you jerk" and without the girl shooting a bird (just frowning). It would have been more powerful and resonated with every parent (regardless of their political affiliation).

Instead, what this does is just speak to the choir.

When you start throwing insults like "you jerk" it causes people to simply harden their position. Even if your listener deep down things your argument is 100% right, the listener is not going to agree with you because you have injured their pride by calling them a jerk.

That's human nature on both sides of the political fence.

There’s a billboard drivers can see driving east on I-40 headed into Knoxville. Something like, “America or Obama. You can’t have both.” Short and sweet.

The sign should never have had “jerk” or the bird.

Good for them! It’s about time for this. Being nice and playing nice with the National Socialist Democrat Party has always encouraged them to be nastier. These types of displays DO have a positive effect. Der Fuehrer and his brownshirts have used children, old people, and displays that were much worse than these with a lot of effect. Time to shove it back up their asses.

I stop short of supporting blatant disrespect for authority...

Really? When they have blatant disrespect for us and the country?

They're lucky our Founding Fathers aren't still alive. They'd be in a grave by now.

“Eric Folsom has a young daughter, and he said: ‘If she saw that, she’d say “Why is that little girl doing that? What does that mean?”’ he said. ‘How do I explain that?’”

Poor Mr Folsom. I wonder if he worries about 2nd graders being taught about fisting, oral sex, masturbation, dildos, and putting condoms on banana?

I think I'd rather explain the ‘single finger salute’ that the vile crap they feed them in pubic schools today!

They bring a knife, you bring a gun.
They put one of yours in the hospital,
you put one of theirs in the morge...

It’s the Chicago way.

Spoken lke a true slave. Where were you when President Bush was being insulted in the vilest of terms minute-by-minute by these same obama worshipping communists?

***

He was busy not disgracing himself, because he knew that people whose only recourse is to insult others, are admitting they are powerless children.

Like this sign we’re talking about. All the child has is insult. Some “adult” put words in her mouth. Right?
