I’m not speaking of a singular event. I’m speaking of every Bill they offered and or passed, and every vote they have taken in the last 50 years. Each one has put us one step closer to a Government takeover and Socialism. And, our “reach across the aisle” RINOS have abetted them, every inch of the way.

I see your other post referring to the ‘90’s. Good observation. That’s when they came out of the closet, as it were, and blatantly thumbed their noses at us and the Constitution. That’s when most of us began to wake up to their idiocy.

And here most of us sit and argue about the POTUS nominee, and let the left detract us from our goals, when we should be focused like a laser beam on retaking Congress this year. Why do you think they don’t seem worried with their poll numbers lower than a gnat’s ass, and mid-terms just around the corner?

SW Kansas has had to shut down operations of a number of the beef packing meat processing plants. The actual numbers for those counties are about 10x what is shown on this map. So, if these numbers are not accurate, then why would the others not be under reported?

Aren't a lot of the meat processing plant employees illegals? They're probably not included.

I have no idea why. I’m concerned something permanent is going to happen that would affect any politician and they’re throwing the baby out with the bath water while the still can.

I see you were talking in the context of the long term, I thought you were talking in the context of the short term; in which I’ve seen some people espouse.

I can’t see this taken less than 10 to 15 years to pull off. So I see we’re you’re coming from.

GOP has been spineless.

I can’t get unemployment because I am getting an average of about 6-8 hours a week , not enough to pay bills taxes and food but more than unemployment

6-8 hours? What do they pay 150 dollars a WEEK??

Very interesting......
Obamanomics at work. I consider the last quarter of 2008 as Zero’s economy as well, with the financial crisis brought on by his party’s policies and the handwriting on the wall that he’d probably win the election, as early as August/September of 2008.

Nice work, Zero! FReegards....GG
