"Won't get fooled Again"

..wonder if the Who will play that at the Superbowl?

Excellent comment.

Geez, when it’s Bill Clinton they are talking about it is all about surpluses etc., but when they refer to the Congress he had to work with they broke the bank. Can you really have it both ways? Oops sorry, forgot, these are Democrats.

Even the poorest among us will have to pay the VAT. It’s a regressive tax and it surprises me that liberals would support it. I’m sure they will devise some way that poor people will get a refund for VAT paid or some such.

I don’t support any tax increases because the more they have, they’ll spend 100’s of times more than that.

If buttercups buzz’d after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.

Criminal mathematics.

The flaw is on the spending side of the equation.

England has a wholesale AND a retail VAT. You can see how successful that has been.

Well, if you define success as jacking up consumer prices about 25%, it’s been wildly successful.

Among socialists, nothing encourages imitation like failure does.

I love the comments at the end of this softball interview with Hoyer. I didn’t count, but it seemed like they were about 10 to 1 against the whining Dems and their agenda. This in the Washington Compost. Imagine what it would be outside the Beltway.

We need some rules/laws that “encourage” integration here.

We love for people to come to our country,

IF

they want to become Americans and not impose their culture on America making us into the hellhole they escaped from.

It's time to take off the gloves and get this piece of filth out of our White House. Please send this article to every politician you can and your entire email list.

As is the case throughout history, the French resistance is too late and too weak.

Too many muslims are in France already. And many of the native French people are for “diversity”, which negates their ability to resist the infestation.

Just as with the Nazi occupation, the French will have a resistance, but the country will have been lost.

Whether or not you want it.
Whether or not you want to pay for it.
Whether or not you can afford to pay for it.

Welcome to New Jersey.

The end goal of the communists is for all the means of production to be in the hands of the collectivity. The democrats are doing everything they can to get us there one step at a time.

Sadly these people would be welcome in America.

RINOs and their henchmen need to go. Vote out all RINOs. They are so utterly arrogant. Out damn spot!

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Reid can’t find 60 votes

Reid may find 60 votes BUT I would bet dollars to donuts that the dems will lose the Senate in 2010 if he does pass this ludicrous bill......

Reid and his fellow dems quite apparently have forgotten who gets the ultimate vote!!

Everyday it’s something. Every f....in day it’s something.

Have you read this article by Tony Blankley?

WE should post it, if it hasn’t already been.

That and Charles K’s

and then we should start calling dollars “pesos”

What inspired supporters who pushed him to his historic win was the sense that a genuine outsider was finally breaking into an exclusive club, that walls were being torn down, that things were, for lack of a better or more specific term, changing.

They fooled ya again...he's another hard core lefty who is willing to rob the American public to advance his agenda.

Rosenberg: Market Volatility Will Double And Stocks Will Collapse

at least Krugman admits his research is done on the back of an envelope

*gasp*

I will say it again. These people are blaming their hero Obama for carrying out what a socialist dictatorship does.

The flaw isn’t really their glorious leader, the flaw is their belief in the progressive movement. The movement depends on lies, deception, and a willing bunch of fools and suckers who will buy into the scam.

Until they see that no matter who they choose as hero from the movement of deception, they will always be disappointed.

I beg to differ. This process started before the 70s. I participated in some UN simulations when I was in college in the 60s. One of the resolutions offered for debate was the “Redistribution of World Wealth”. The basic theory was the first world owed a debt to the third world for colonialism. IOW, the first world was wealthy only at the expense of the third.

It’s not about burkas. It’s about the growth of a violent, world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.

It looks like they are taking baby steps towards the truth...they cannot handle it all at once or their fragile perception of Obama will implode. Their hatred for the right blurs their view of reality. But it is getting harder and harder to ignore...

yay, France!!!
Wish we’d take a page from that book

I can only take a bit of Schaedenfreude away from this stuff. They will STILL kiss his butt, and moan about how he inherited a problem, and it really is all Bush’s fault, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

The thing about liberal media outlets like RS or PMSNBC or the dinosaur ‘nets or the NY Slimes is that they NEVER REALLY ABANDON THEIR little tin gods like BO.

Sure, they gripe, but they’re like battered women who refuse to see the failure of their choice of men. “Maybe we need to do more to make them succeed” is their mantra. As if more laudable coverage of their politicians is needed.

Voters, OTOH, are not like that. Sadly, BO and his team of fraudsters are working to eliminate the opposition of the voters...dead, double, and non-existent voters will cast millions of ballots in 2010 if the White House has its way.

Geez.

Krugman, like Obama, is dangerous. When his ideas don't work, he doubles down.

Gagnon's paper is The World Needs Further Monetary Ease, Not an Early Exit. The Fed buys assets with money it creates out of thin air, thus increasing the money supply and debasing the dollar (which is down against gold and almost every major currency this year, for that reason).

Democratic policies -- such as high minimum wages, forced unionization, generous unemployment benefits, and health insurance mandates -- discourage hiring, so they naturally turn to inflation to temporarily reduce unemployment. The result is 1970s-style stagflation at best, hyperinflation at worst.

Also odd that Paul brags about being on Beck’s show on his website. See clip.

It is intended to sabotage any non-Leftist foreign policy initiatives the way the State Department sabotaged the Bush administration for eight years.

Sadly a lot of that literally is Bush's fault. He refused to fire the Clinton-era staff holdovers and they rewarded Bush's generosity by undermining Bush at every possible opportunity.

If we want people to keep having children, probably yes.

Why? People had a lot more children back when we did not supply this level of care.

Odd that Beck interviewed Ron Paul in Dec 2007 on his TV show then if he supposedly called Paul a "Tim McVeigh" type terrorist.

Also odd that if he called Paul that, Paul still went on his show for an interview.

Perhaps your "source" for this claim about Beck is mistaken?

Basically trying to establish a permanently-left-wing State Department like we have here.

It is intended to sabotage any non-Leftist foreign policy initiatives the way the State Department sabotaged the Bush administration for eight years.

Goooood idea!!!!

“Looks like a backdoor attempt to create an EU state... “

There’s nothing backdoor about it. The Treaty of Lisbon creates an EU state. None of the signers - including the UK - are sovereign any longer.

Good point—

Men in France force wives to wear lingerie.

But that's a good thing.

I’ve got a feeling it’s a red herring.

Soooo good and well stated, I had to re-post your post...

The people of this country, not the D.C. insiders of the GOP, should be the determinants in who represents us or not. We are in the bad spot we’re in in large part due to the ‘go along to get along’ GOP moderates in D.C. and it’s time for THEM to go. Someone elected these RINOs and they can be voted out, too. Time to get started.

We all lose when stupid people vote for incompetents.

In their naive arrogance, the liberals think they're too progressive for their own candidate. With all their education, they failed to understand the politics of reality. It's damaging America's wealth, sovereignty and freedom.

As Michael Savage said, "You'll get us all killed!!!"

“A French court last year denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her “radical” practice of Islam was incompatible with French values.”

Smart judge. When will this case be overturned on appeal?

The Swiss should take a long look at this before signing up to lose their sovereignty.

What a hoot! After 8 years of Dem obstructionism during the Bush years, we now have a Republican party with absolutely NO power in Washington. And somehow the GOP is able to obstruct things and will further lose power? Interesting (non-)logic.....

Bully for them.

Our state lottery originally was a weekly event and was put in place “to lesson” the tax burden. Now we have keno, scratch tickets daily lotteries and taxes are as high as ever right along with governement spending.

Do a survey of convenience store clerks. I have for the last few years-It's illuminating.

"Nobody's winning any more...$4,$10. Only the $20 tickets win the big prizes".

"What kind of an idiot would gamble when the casino is bankrupt"?

Cap every Federal job at $24,000/year - and watch the AufgeblasenBlutegelBourgeoisieBurokraten disappear.

How do you propose to fill those contracted positions supporting the military in the war zones?
