I don’t think this will affect the job market that much. Those people are probably already working because of the other laws the government refuses to enforce.

Will this additional 800,000 now be counted in the Jobless Claims?

Just keep dragging out Woodward and Bernstein trying to cement their pathetic Watergate Crap fame for the rest of their lives.

I chanced on CNN about a week ago. The gravelly voice of Bob Woodward got my attention. Curiously enough the date of the break-in to Watergate was June 17,1972 (Hope I got it right). For years, when there was a scandal in politics, the two men got a rerun of their "intrepid" reporting.

What got to me was the bad mouthing of the late President Nixon by Woodward. Woodward went on, without details, of the crimes of Richard Nixon, far, far worse than is known, said Woodward. I would echo the classic liberal mouthing at an famous hearing vis: "Have you no shame?" to Woodward.

Rest in peace Mr President.

Both of these lucky hacks stumbled on something the media and liberals were aching to monopolize.

Berstein has been largely absent from the post kangaroo lynching, but Woodward (slo-mo I call him because of his halting speech obviously symptomatic of a dimwitted mind).

Despite media’s concocted history of them, neither were, or are, anything special despite the accolades bestowed on them (do we remember Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize?)

If it weren’t for Hollywood’s hatred of America and the screen portrayals of them by Hoffman and Redford, they would likely be working for the Enquirer now. (Sorry, Enquirer, you really deserve better even if the Silk Pony is gonna walk on his cheating on his dying wife). I digress, but Nuclear (you hear me Kennedys and Carter? I said effing NOO-CLEE-ARE, you morons) would also have fared better had it not been for that b!tch Jane Fonda and the China Syndrome.....

Regardless, the liberal media won’t ever (I’m hopefull they’ll all die off sometime soon or their professors that teach this sh!t develop Alzheimers or something) stop with this Watergate crap, nor will it stop with the Kennedy Camelot dynasty - unless they try to replace it with the Obama Dynasty......

Hell, I’m so p!ssed off right now I can’t stop - but I will.

As long as we can still vote, still have the possibility of removing those we don’t like in office through the ballot box (not bullets), and still have the possibility of changing the direction of our nation through Constitutional means, then I’m against open civil war.

I don't agree.

Many of the large states are already openly communist due to universal suffrage, ensuring that no solution will ever be forthcoming from Congress, the Federal Judiciary, or the WH, as has been painfully obvious since the 17th amendment was adopted.

Nothing but bigger Federal Government and more Federal apparatchiks at the expense of ever increasing amounts of money extorted from working people.

The collapse is inevitable.

Doesn't mean there will be a shooting civil war though, the communist states don't have the power to raise armies, and will be too busy looting their own to pose a threat to the non communist states.

I envision a Provisional military government for six months , all incumbents fired from all three branches of government, then new elections with only taxpayers and veterans enfranchised.

The Federal capital to be rotated amongst the States (and not all states are necessarily going to be admitted), and term limits.

Unless the terrorists do us a favor and nuke DC first, but I doubt they would be that stupid, recognizing that the threat of the federal bureaucracy to productive US citizens makes the threat posed by the muhammadans pale in comparison.

All of this nonsense about there being a difference whether a foreign communist from Kenya or a mormon cultist grandson of polygamist refugees from Mexico occupies the White House is absurd.

Jobs? Who cares whether they work or not? Obama just wants them to vote. Then they can bloody well evaporate for all he cares.

Thanks for the well thought out reply. I heard this somewhere once.

When you are on a roll, you are on a roll.

Or words to that effect.

Anyone can pay taxes. I’d much rather just have a random drawing ~

Politicians who persist in the practice of siding WITH foreigners AGAINST Americans do not deserve our votes.

And yet there are people who still insist BO must be a natural-born citizen (even if the bastard son of some American communist) who meets Article II requirements.

This man is a textbook example of what the Founders warned against.

This is why there are two watertight doors on a submarine.

Born on U.S. soil of U.S. citizen parents = puts Americans first. Not foreigners.

BTW, you can't live in this society without paying taxes of some kind.

What you guys fail to understand is that the federal personal income tax is NOT the source of all tax dollars ~ it's just one of many, and not only that it was sold to the American people by Progressive Republicans as something that would never affect more than the top 1% or 2% of wage earners.

The fact that it attacks 50% give or take a few, is a CRIME!

The federal personal income tax has failed. It should be abolished!

Look at it this way, it's just another useless federal program long past its expire date.

re: “The collapse is inevitable.”

That may be but where I disagree with you is the outcome. I think another civil war is much more likely to be like the French Revolution - bloody, brutal, atrocities, and anarchy.

Once the shooting starts there is no telling where it will end up politically.

I hope you would be correct, I just don’t have that much faith in humanity once open war breaks out.

The success of the American Revolution was near miraculous. The integrity of the leadership, the last minute help from the French, and defeating the British at Saratoga and Yorktown, plus catching them napping at Trenton - we accomplished the impossible.

We defeated the super power of the day - I truely believe that it had to be with God’s help. Not because we were so righteous, but the principles upon which we were founding our nation were.

I don’t see our people being that wise or acting with as much personal integrety today.
