Democrat Staffer: "They're Just People"
Digital Journal ^ | 2/13/09 | Sherri Reese

Posted on 02/13/2009 7:12:35 PM PST by eeevil conservative

On Friday the 13 of February 2009 both houses of the US Congress passed the largest spending bill in the history of our nation. The final amount of the bill is reported to be $787 Billion.

Congressional staffers have been inundated with calls, emails, and faxes by Americans responding to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill. The voters contacting Washington, DC have voiced clearly that they are against this bill for the past two weeks.

Congressman Dr Broun of Georgia left Washington, DC Friday evening and caught a flight home. Once he landed at the Atlanta airport, the Congressman called into the Dontgo Movement radio program on the Heading Right Station of Blog Talk Radio. During his conversation with host Willie Lawson Congressman Broun shared a conversation he had with a lobbyist in his office earlier that day.....

Keep pushing and they’re going to find out that these “people” are heavily armed.

We are looking at King Obama the first - and his court.

Here we go:

“The Lobbyist had just left the office of a fellow Democrat Congressman. During his visit in that office the staffers had admitted that they had received a high volume of calls, and they were overwhelmingly against the Stimulus Bill. The Democrat Congressman staffer’s response was, “oh, their just people.” “Can you imagine that?” Broun asked, “How arrogant is that? How elitist is that? Their just people. In other words, that’s the philosophy that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress have today, is that we’re just people. They know better what we need than we do. It’s an outrage, it’s absolutely an outrage.” “

Yep, we’re JUST PEOPLE.

Elitest, Democrat scum!!!

I would like to say I am speechless, but I am not.

I have long said that if you listen to liberals long enough, they will tell you exactly what they think and where they stand.

I went into an Apple Store last week, and there were two young women in front of me gushing with excitement over getting a stimulus check from the government and what they were going to buy with it.

I thought about how I would have approached the subject with people I know, and I was stumped.

Perhaps I might have tried the approach: “You FOOLS! This is YOUR money they are giving back to you that they took away from you in the first place!”

Or vent on this level: “You don’t even make enough money to cover what you have put in via taxes to cover what you are getting! THEY ARE TAKING TAX MONEY FROM ME AND MY FAMILY TO GIVE TO YOU SO YOU CAN BUY IPODS!”

Or even more to the point: “Don’t you dummies understand that this money doesn’t just get printed and distributed to you. It has to come from somewhere, whether the government borrows money to be paid back with interest or a pound of flesh is taken out of all of us with the hyperinflation that is coming as a result of throwing all this money with no backing into the economy!”

At that point, it occurred to me: They simply don’t care.

Obama is a racist who spent twenty years listening to anti-American racist pap in a racist “church” and gave large sums of money to that “church”.

People don’t care.

Obama is an associate of a virulent anti-American radical terrorist, a member of a group who killed AMERICANS with bombs, who wished he had done more violence, whose most public moments in print are accompanied by a picture of him proudly and triumphantly standing on top of an American flag, the same flag I and my father served under, and my father was buried under. This man is one of Obama’s principal patrons, who by his own admission is “guilty as sin-free as a bird”, and quite proud of that.

People don’t care.

Obama is corrupt to the core, steered money towards his family (wife) and friends.

People don’t care.

Obama is an avowed socialist who believes in redistribution of wealth.

People don’t care.

Obama thinks higher taxes are the way to fix our problems.

People don’t care.

Obama thinks higher gasoline prices are good for us.

People don’t care.

Obama thinks guns should be banned.

People don’t care.

Obama is a devotee of Saul Alinsky’s techniques as described in “Rules for Radicals”, one of the most disgusting things I have ever read.

People don’t care.

I am disheartened about this past election in ways I simply cannot describe, but most depressing and discouraging for me is that I worked hard as a citizen to understand the issues. I made the effort to evaluate and re-evaluate my stand on issues and make sure they were backed by logic and consistent with what was best for our nation.

My vote was trumped and negated by a damned ignorant idiot who came to the conclusion Obama was going to pay for her mortgage and her gasoline.

These two young women I saw in line at the Apple Store could not care less either. They want a piece of pie, and could not care less who “gives” it to them. They, and many other American voters don’t understand the adage “If something seems to good to be true, it probably isn’t.”

It is time for them to start sucking at the government teat. Which is EXACTLY what people like the radicals in charge want.

to the wind....and will reap the whirlwind.

Of course, most probably think this is just an old saying, without recognizing it is scriptural. What Hosea was saying is that sowing to the wind is bad enough, but the consequences end up being greater than the deed itself, just as a whirlwind is much greater than a wind.

Let those that have ears to hear...hear.

Not really, I worked in DC for three years. That’s the attitude of the whole city! Made me sick.

Then 'down with these people'. . .what the heck were they elected for - their 'sheeplehip or Leadership'? OMG; it is sooooo bad; worse than any 'bad' idea that one can imagine owning Washington today.

And like every Lib; they are working up to their 'excuse'. These 'elite-elected' are no more than victims! Be still my hand and stomach as I read and even just write. After all; it is only America's future...

It’s waaaaaaaay past time we show the folks with ‘Potomac Fever’ who the PEOPLE are. This is NOT rhetoric. I mean it.

Staffers like that have little to fear, as long as their man/woman gets re-elected and the gravy train keeps rolling. It’s not like they have to worry about someone shattering their knee with a bat or something. Things like that don’t happen with any regularity.

Just sayin’

It does appear that they don’t care, but I think it’s more significant than that, rlmorel. They are deluded...and that delusion is of biblical proportion....literally.
