Pfft. He can’t starve us without starving his people first. We earn the money and we keep his people employed. We are the hand that feeds them and they should learn to never bite it.
Start thinking like your parents or grandparents who lived through the Depression did. They could live frugally like no other. Follow their example, and you’ll be just fine — and the Dims who depend on our dollars will be SOL.
LOL!! What was Edwards doing in your town this morning?
He’ll convince 1/2 of the Country that we don’t need guns.. Just watch.
Excellent Post bump!
I learned to be self-relient from watching Martha Stewart and the Square Foot Gardner!
Getting a vasectomy....
ROTFLOL!!
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.
I think everyone is going WAY overboard with the doom and gloom around here. This video is nothing more than a silly young person, probably stoned, probably drunk, most likely both, that is waving a communist flag probably because he/she is recently emancipated from his home and parents as a young adult and is doing this as an act of rebellion against his parents or some other past authority figure in his/her life.
They’re further attempting to be cool, trendy or whatever else. He or she is young, naive, silly...as they are supposed to be until trials of life straighten them out. I highly doubt this person even knows the significance of that symbol and the pain it has created in the past.
Yet everyone here is acting like Lenin just got off the train from Europe and is taking capitalists and Christians from their homes for summary executions. Talk about overreaction.
As for Obama, he will not institute communism or full blown socialism in America. He can’t. He got 52% of the vote, that’s it.
If he over-reaches too much like Clinton did in 93-94 with the assault weapons ban etc...the correction will come in 2010 in a snap with a follow-up in ‘12. He’s not an idiot and is probably very astute about that. I don’t know what exactly he will do and he very well may go extreme but our system in the US is set up to correct extremes, so relax.
He will raise taxes for sure but keep in mind that the top marginal tax rate was 90% under Eisenhower and 70% at the end of the 70s. The American people have tolerance of higher taxes on the rich when income inequality is at historic levels so expect that to come and stick for a while. A few other liberal policies will no doubt make it through and if they work, they will stay, if they fail, they will go. Elections fix these things.
I don’t think so not with out a civi war
I had a co-worker today who was unfazed by the “spread the wealth” argument. She told me she didn’t think she paid enough taxes. How are you supposed to respond to that?
“I am still wondering off & on if this was McCain’s ultimate reach across the aisle and Palin was a smokescreen”
You hit the nail on the head. Bush campaigned so hard to get a bigger majority in the Senate and once he got it, you constantly had to subtract 14. And who was the leader of that gang?
The media can do whatever they want. I won’t be watching. I’m canceling my cable as soon as football season is over...right around the time The One is anointed.
I’m ready. The coalition of the rightous.
Of course, that led to rampant starvation, but what the hell.
It still hasn’t completely sunk in for me. I’m still shell shocked.
I suggested we do that at his rallies, hoping the cameras couldn't avoid the flag shots. I think it would great to extend it to his inaugural parties, though I imagine only certain parties would get camera coverage.
