Is Atlas shuddering or starting to shrug right now?

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?

Soon “dollar” stores won’t exist. There is no such thing as a dollar store in Europe.

Great post. 100 percent in agreement.

Dollar stores are weird. You can get some bargains, but other items are offered in strange little sizes to even out the price point: e.g. a box of cake mix that bakes exactly six cupcakes.

Know what you mean.

I stick to Dollar General. More of them than Post Offices around here, almost.

Name brand stuff at prices that sometimes beat Wally Whirled.

And no ways near the hassle. I pass 3 of them on a 35 mile commute to a jobsite. In and out in 5 minutes.

"Palin Shrugged".

Remember -- Rove's message, and the GOP-e, was that the GOP was in the thrall of religious fanatics and that reaching towards the center would solve that.

So they kneecapped their way to the nomination, despite polling roughly 30% in a lot of the GOP Primaries.

And with a President as bad as Obama, and the economy the way it was?

The conservatives STILL voted for him. The moderates stayed home.

F*ck the RINOs forever.

They are dead to me -- if we're going to lose anyway (as we did under McCain (of McCain-Feingold and "you don't need to fear this man as your President) and Romney (of "I'll work with the Democrats as I did in Massachusetts to get things done") then we might as well run a true conservative.

Ryan and Palin energized the base; and the Dems had to pull out ALL the stops -- including massive election fraud in Ohio, Florida, and Philly; numerous youth and first-time uninformed voters; and parasite sluts -- to win in a squeaker where six or eight million of HIS base stayed home.

Cheers!

When the employers are walking their “former” employees out the doors, maybe they should tell them that elections have consequences. Some good, some bad.

I think we’re seeing just the beginning of what will ultimately prove to be a major slowing of the economy and an unemployment rate of well over 10%.

The democrats, liberals and progressives will own the economy and no amount of “it’s Bush’s fault”, will get them off the hook. What we conservatives need to do is find a person who is capable of doing the job, jet doesn’t want the job, but would ultimately do it for the good of the country.

Most of all, it can’t be a politician or another lawyer. I’m thinking of a man similar to Lee Iacoca, former CEO of Chrysler, or another turn around specialist from business.

Well, he’s already told the IRS to pussyfoot when the Grand Resistance comes, as it certainly will. Barack does not want the crap to concuss the choppers, at least not too soon.

DG is “deluxe dollar” i.e. they have things up to $5 and maybe more. That’s sometimes more convenient than strict dollar stores like Dollar Tree.

I agree. I would like to see the party use a lottery style
draft to select a person who is obviously highly
qualified, but has not necessarily expressed a desire to run. I am ALWAYS suspicious of these people that are just frothing at the mouth to get nominated. They have almost
too much of an agenda. And usually too much ego.

I’d just as soon bring back the smoke-filled rooms to nominate a candidate.

It is a sign of how the "recovery" will work - without drastic measures by the People, we will be able to teach third world countries a thing or two about going third world.
