...be more like them. All we've got to do is implement universal health care, sign on to global warming, sign all the international treaties we can, give amnesty to the illegals, give up on abortion, give up to gay rights, go along with the tax hikes on the wealthy, go along with taking over industry after industry, control the greedy CEO compensation plans, shut down our defense systems, scrap our nuclear weapons programs, scrap our navy, shut down the car companies, develop rapid transit, shut down the coal industry, switch to green power, etc, etc, etc. Oh yeah, support the commies in Cuba, Venezuela and Honduras and the Mullahs in Iran... and wipe Israel off the planet.
Oops, we're going to be in a war with Russia soon. Only this time they'll be the defending capitalists.
you forgot: believe that the solution to getting us less dependant on foreign oil is to block any attempt to increase production in the USA, like Dave Reichart.
You have to laugh because the consequences of it all are to frightening to even think about.
I'll say. You didn't even plan for a habitat for the endangered ring-tailed prairie rat or the invasive leaping asian carp.
I really believe the tide is turning Jim. I feel it.
Obama is becoming ineffective even with a heavily. Democratic congress. He is starting to sound like Herbert Hoover. His positive words are not in touch with reality.
I just wonder how bad things are going to get before 2012. When people are unable to afford food because the dollar is worthless, we are talking about a lot of pain for a lot of people.
that Sarah Palin some people think is a fool and a loser... America may run to her in a hurry.
Sounds like all bad ideas to me.
Must be the summer blahs or something. I think the 4th of July got a lot of people depressed as many look around and see the current majority in DC doing everything they can to destroy this great nation. Porkulus Bills, Cap and Trade, Hillarycare, Government Motors, etc....
Its like one big country destroying tsunami after another and it appears to be hitting FReepers morale pretty hard lately.
Well, I finally thought of one positive outcome of Oafbama’s election - it has become much easier to identify RINOs and CINOs and neo-lib Republicans. Played right, the developing groundswell appalled by Chicago-style thugocracy will toss out 0’s handmaids, including every turncoat Republican.
Let me illustrate the problem. If someone is hungry our emotional response is compassion to feed them. That is the Democratic line in a nutshell. A society is measured by how it treats the weakest and poorest members.
We need to come up with an emotional response to dealing with the needy (or ill, or out of work, etc.). Until we come up with that visceral answer we will be marginalized and defeated.
Oh, c’mon now. Some of those are darned good Republican ideas. How about federal government forced, er designed health care plans fer example?
Soup lines ought to do it. That’s where Obummer’s taking us.
Just a thought.
Oh my, look at the time, the frog chants take your meds
Woo hoo!! Sounds like a plan to me!!
Independence day festivities did seem to be rather muted this year. When we can’t even afford a lot of Chinese fireworks, things are getting seriously bad.
I like the freedom to pick my own health care plan. And I would more then love to tell obama where he can put his plan.
I didn’t think I would ever confess a wish we had gotten a Hillary! presidency, if the GOP was simply fated to lose this cycle. She couldn’t be half as bad as Barack.
Hey great idea! To get elected all we’ve got to do is...
...be more like them.
Silly me, I thought we had to be more than like them.
The United States got where it is by charting its own course and defending (note that word) its choice. Now we have a traitor in chief posing as the Commander in chief and we’re going to have to weather this storm. We will! We must!!
And we're not buying it. Obviously it's a sign of our own inferiority. But there is in this the panic of a confidence man who sees his scam evaporating before his eyes, making ever more extravagant claims and wild accusations to attempt to recover the situation. Feel the fear.
