Is Atlas shuddering or starting to shrug right now?
GraceG

Posted on 11/09/2012 4:18:49 PM PST by GraceG

Unless you are a dead democrat voter stuck in a graveyard, you will notice an awful LOT of businesses are laying people off right for the last three days. It finally hit me, is Atlas starting to shrug or is it merely shuddering only to fall asleep again?

Is this a sign of shrugging or is it a sign of the dragon shuddering only to roll over and fall back asleep again?

I am told that “dollar stores” are doing pretty well too.
Wal-Mart competes with that segment, but they tend to be awkwardly large to shop if you are a dollar shopper.

Atlas has shrugged so much it needs surgery to repair the shoulder joints.

This is the US though, so you get a kinder gentler socialism.

Just as Poppy promised us.

You’ve got it but I don’t think it is going to happen. We were pinning all our hopes to a Romney win and that producing more confidence and certainty in the market place. Now I don’t know what will happen. I don’t think we will be hiring anyone anytime soon. Still we managed to grow our business 160% over last year.

We’ll just have to work a little harder, that’s all. Where have I heard that line before? Oh yeah, Atlas Shrugged.

One thing I have to give to Obama, he has excelled at producing uncertainty. I guess everyone is good at something.

Option two is what’s happening right now, with ‘bama using his alphabet soup agencies like a bludgeon to get things started.

Yes, family dollar stores, which are like a small version of Walmart are going in all over the place in our area. I have to admit they are great to have and the prices are great too. It’s 35 miles to the nearest Walmart. By the time you add in the gas it’s almost cheaper to go to the local “expensive” grocery store.

The Amish are on a riot hair trigger. They are ALWAYS lookin
for an excuse.

I think if Atlas shruggs too hard or too much then we get the
SHTF scenario that we have all been discussing for the last
four years. Let it come. The sooner we can puke out this
POS POTUS the sooner we can pull this country back from the nosedive.

Resignation, impeachment, military junta... I don’t care how
he exits.. just that he does.

As long as he was an illegal alien, he would get the surgery and physical therapy. If he made the mistake of trying to claim citizenship, he wouldn’t get a thing.

I think part of it is the tearing of the American soul. These people have just seen their fellow Americans vote to take more of their property, to use government to plunder and become even meaner and more lawless.

Response: Screw 'em!! You can't take it, if it doesn't exist. And you vote to take my property, I'm not hiring you. Eat Obama promises and see how fat you get.

The divider in chief is creating an America with far less goodwill toward one another. Thank you Bronco Bama.

No? That’s what the “1%” rhetoric is about.

That is good, sounds more like “Atlas Shut-in”

Nice start though!

Well, we do have a big game of chicken coming up, whether we like it or not.

It's more like playing chicken with someone who wants you dead more than life itself, and is actively looking forward to literal fountains of milk and honey, 18 young boys like pearls and 72 virgins.
