It really doesn’t matter if they admit their mistake or not, because they are definitely going to be paying for it in spades for a long time to come.
A sad state of affairs.
I feel like I got bit by the Moose.
You can deny the truth, but you cannot deny the effects of the truth.
False pride is the worst of all sins.
The wages of sticking with such pride, are darkness and death on a large scale.
If you want to “end all wars,” then give up such pride, and give all your achievements to God.
In other words, salvation is by giving all glory to God.
That is why, false pride is the worst -— surrendering it is the most difficult for you.
*That* is why leftists/liberals sell so many bottles of such snake oil -— to keep you burdened/down; and upon their next circuit ride thru your life, the same snake oil sales-politicos sell you government as the antidote.
Thus, it is thru your pride, that you are staked and find that you owe some kind of debt/servitude in exchange for favors.
The antidote is *not* making a shrine, an idealogy out of such pride and demanding that your burdens must be paid for by others.
Instead, the antidote is to surrender your pride to God.
I remember it happening, but at the time…I was young and didn't understand all the stuff about the insiders and power brokers and such. But it was in the end a devastating decision. Richard Viguerie wrote something this week about that decision in fact. And of course, if Cruz were to get the nomination, the power brokers would certainly be pushing for some veep choice like Christie or Jeb or more likely, someone in that mold but in Congress somewhere….maybe even a turncoat Gov like Kasich.
You’ve got that right. The GOPe would want to be riding the brake, just in case a conservative won. As soon as Bush41 won as Reagan’s third term, he started signaling a detente with the left with talk of “a kinder and gentler” nation. The GOPe wants to go over the cliff only a little slower than the leftists do.
I’m tired and disagree with the mantra that this mess is to take from the young to pay for the old. It is misleading and aids the cause of class warfare. I’m in the last 5 years before medicare. My insurance has been canclled, a good 3000 deductible 80/20 BCBS policy. Anything remotely comparable is MUCH more costly. The premise is wrong. EVERYONE who is paying anything is paying MORE so that others who pay little or nothing are subsidized with some form of equality though medicade still perists. No they young are not paying for the old they are just paying for redistribution and socialism.
Could it be that the intention of obamacare is to further divide and drive a wedge of greed, fear and envy between young and old? Let’s face it, the only true objective of any obastard policy or action is to tear apart anything which is and radically change the nation.
He said he would radically change the nation and he told us how he would but the sheeple only heard what they wanted. They heard how redistribution would benefit them and didn’t get the part about how socialism tears down everything to the lowest common denominator and destroys hope. Hope is the vision the greatness of the republic is built on. Destroy that and you’ve radically transformed the nation.
Just what is being done with all this money that is being generated? The poor were already being taken care of with some money from somewhere. This is just an ADDITIONAL tax. The combined tax increase and obastard care surtax on capital gains is a 50% INCREASE in revenue from capitol gains taxes. If there are ever any capitol gains to be made this is a masive amount of money. An additional 8.8% of all profits in the nation!
Obastard’s willing accomplics are a protected class and his supporters think they are as well. The supporters are wrong of course.
I don’t think they want to go over the cliff…I really think they’re clueless as to what works…policitally and economically. They really do think being moderate is how you win elections and how you properly govern. They are just brain dead and isolated.
Good question!!!
Fat-headed
It’s called Stockholm Syndrome.
Yesterday on DU I read the comments of a woman on Long Island who was furious that her premiums were going up.
Immediately she got attacked. They were calling her a liar for her claims. They attacked her for making $100,000/yr. and complaining about her new premiums. They wouldn't listen when she said she pays $10,000/yr in property tax and can't afford the new premium.
I love it when they turn on one another.
