They repeat the cycle, rushing in to fill the void they created in the first place, using the scarcity as a pretext to abrogate more power for themselves. Socialism is planned poverty.
Cordially,
I am wondering just how long it will take them to drain every last bit of private assets. They are a swarm of locusts.
The two parties are the same. McCain would've had a similar bill, with all of the GOP voting for it, and Dems opposing it because itmight bolster GOP popularity. Both sides want more revenues, both sides want more control, both sides want majorities, both sides want more popularity (and thus job security), both sides have voted to change election rules to make 3rd parties less likely to succeed, both sides continue to allow anti-Constitutional policies and Departments to continue... not too many differences there.
Bammer has been working the numbers on the economy and unemployment and the media have been covering.
I don’t think the “real thing”, actual revenue based on income tax has been reported yet, though there are some indicators in states like mine, Maryland and California and at the county levels that revenue is way off. There will be a time when Obama has to have his moment of discovery and he will have to take his medicine.
Unfortunately, we will all suffer together.
By "this" I assume you mean the leftist power grab. I don't think that an inconsistent or even hypocritical approach is going to help.
Some politicians like Obama lie, and I don't want to copy that approach. The GOP has cost conservatives have too much power by not living up to conservative principles (spending in general and pork). Some GOP lawmakers put pork into the recent defense bill, when they had a great opportunity to set an example by not doing so.
At the same time, we should fight against the leftist evil with all our might.
There are different kinds of war, and lots of ways of fighting a war.
This is a war for the very soul and the essence of this country, a war being waged by 0bama, Pelosi and Reid against the American people.
We have no alternative but to fight fire with fire.
We WILL CRUSH 0bama and the Democrats in 2010 and take away their majority in the House, then complete their destruction by taking the needed 60 seat majority in the US Senate and the White house in 2012, with just enough time to kill this bill before it comes into effect.
“Big difference today: there are not two “sections.” “
You have not been paying attention to the grassroots anti-0bama movement of the Tea Parties, which are currently polling better than the Democrats and even the Republicans?Remember, it was the outrageous vote for Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 ( aaginst overwhelming opposition from voters), that led to the creation of the Republican Party, exactly like how the Tea Parties have emerged out of nowhere in reaction to 0bama's dictatorial communist policies and garnered huge support from the American people in such a short time already.
This a war between normal Americans, and the lunatics lead by 0bama , Pelosi and Reid. There can be oly one victor in this battle: The American people.
Reed is not even going to win re-election in 2010, Pelosi will not be Speaker come Jan 2011, and 0bama will not be President come Jan 2013.
I choose to believe you’re wrong because if you’re right, I have to unscrew the Dim bulbs in the White House, the Capital, and the SCOTUS. That’s a lot of unscrewing!
Progresives include union thugs, communists, socialists, democrats. The divisions in this country will grow, taxes will become oppressive, food will be expensive and scarse. Crime will skyrocket. Riots will ensue.
And this will be what 2010 looks like, the coming years will be even bleaker.
Never happen in a million years.
And FDR was not president in 1952 . . . and it didn't matter. What you say is probably correct---but will be irrelevant.
BTW, were you one of the ones insisting that this bill “would never pass? Ever??”
The vote, and I repeat, was 256-257 combined House and Senate Republicans AGAINST the bill and not one single "conservative" Dem. There is no such thing, and you sir/madam are absolutely drinking kool aid if you think McCain would have had a similar bill---as bad as he was.
Nope.
The Democrats have always had the votes to pass this bill.
Thing is, the American people will also have the votes to remove Pelosi, Reid and (in 2012), 0bama from power, and eventually overturn this bill.
Michael Barone is right. This is Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 all over again, and the this fight is far from over.
A year from now, Pelosi and Reid will be shedding bitter tears. We will make sure of that.
..decades later, the National Recovery Administration wrapped in Christmas paper, with a label reading “Health Care” showed up under the tree this morning—there will be no Supreme Court to stop it this time—Peace on earth, goodwill toward men...
With people like Sandra Day O’Connor (departedm yes!) and Ruth Ginsburg, and this funny Sotomayor the American people can sleep safely at night, knowing their “liberties” are being protected by those “who care”.
Tom Daschle would object to that characterization of his often liberal SD. So would Kent Conrad of Democratic ND.
0bama is NOT FDR.
FDR didn't leavbe the country with (an estimated $16 Trillion in debt, a lot of it owed to the Chinese), by the time he left power, like 0bama will by 2012.
FDR did not go cap in hand begging the Chinese to buy our bends so we can afford to finance our government.
NONE of FDR's New Deal bills passed with such overwhelming majority of the public, angrily against it like 0bamacare is currently hated by most Americans.
You are comparing two things that are not even close to being the same.
I don't think you have any idea of the anger that is sweeping this country right now against 0bama, Pelosi and Reid, or of the effects of the Tea Parties.
Yes, more of the Reagan “legacy”.
Separation of powers applies only when Dan Rather and Katie Couric say it applies.
