Tell me when you build a space ship to get to your space colony. Until then, we’re stuck here with what we’ve got.

Yet this week proves that even now, the old msm can no longer protect Obama, by how Russia and the rest of the world has made Obama a laughing stock.

This is going to make the new media stronger.

Business people and Conservative politicians are usually cast as villains in movies and TV. We’ve lost the culture war, which is why we keep losing the political war.

That is how the 2012 elections were won, by massive voter fraud.

Keep a close eye on the tea party movement, it is resurging.

Just watch the news, private space exploration is a burgeoning industry.

When I was a "yute" we put a man on the moon and had it not been for LBJ, we would probably have a military installation there now.

The DemonRatz decided that vote-buying was a more noble cause than national defense but we will colonize space - or become extinct.

I'm hoping for survival.

That is the only way the rats can win.

Here's the number one reason the Dems are winning and the GOP is losing. Ready for it?

You can't beat someone with no one. No majority is going to vote for a jellyfish. So, they don't.

The GOP is no one, because they do not communicate. And we learned this week that it's worse than even I thought. We learned that Boehner and the "leadership" don't even communicate with their members, who supposedly they lead.

So, the GOP doesn't communicate with voters. They don't communicate with their own elected officials. So, we are left with a GOP, about whom, no one knows a thing. What does the GOP stand for? What are GOP principles? Where does the GOP want to take the country?

This allows the Dems to fill the vacuum with all kinds of propaganda about the GOP, without fear of contradiction.

While Obama’s polls crater among most voters, Under 30 Millennials continue to give him a 55% thumbs up.

IMO that pretty much explains it.

It’s even simpler.

People vote taxes on their neighbors to get benefits for themselves.

And the new definition for ‘greed’ is someone who has what they want.

I wouldn't say "lazy." Jefferson said, in the Declaration, that "mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a LONG TRAIN of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism," they will act.

I think that a majority of Americans still do not see Obama and the Dems for what they are, a party involved in a long train of abuses and usurpations. We are probably at stage one of that recognition.

Winston Churchill said it another way: "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing . . . after they've exhausted all other options."

I hear what you're saying but at some point "classical" economists have to come to grips with the fact that there has been virtually NO inflation. Milton Friedman and Irving Fisher both would have predicted massive hyperinflation. Yet all this "printing" is not resulting in inflation at all. Bank loans are at historically low rates; gas today was $3.19, the lowest it's been in years; food hasn't risen in price much; and you are only now starting to see home prices come back in SOME parts of the country.

So if the classical theory is right and we are "printing money" to "buy our own debt," we should have double digit inflation right now.

The kids get news from twitter, the Internet, not from MSM. The new GOP is way ahead of the Dems and the Uniparty on this

And again, while I accept that some vote fraud went on, it wasn’t enough to “steal” the election. The GOP did that with its message and unwillingness to confront Obama. We need to stop blaming fraud and start taking responsibility for losing elections because of a lack of commitment to conservative ideas AND the willingness/ability to explain them forcefully and repeatedly.

Why? Mail in ballots by the thousands always work. Especially if you pay real estate taxes in multiple states, like Fla and NY.

[Art.] The left has accomplished this by portraying Republicans as cold and heartless, using emotional arguments to sway the public. Republicans can turn this around ....

With what?

The 'Rats and their allies own the MSM, including Hollywood and TV; and they're visibly taking over at Fox, judging by the increasing Left bias there.

The author calls for lemonade, but this is a whorehouse not an Applebee's.

I agree. Forget withholding. Make people sign over that portion every time they are paid.
