Thanks! (I think)

Right back at-cha.

Waahn was wacking hard defending “that guy” on Bengazi.

The MTP Round Table still loves them their Chris Christie! Talks about his good nature.

[onyx]

Excellent. I’m so happy to know you have machines!

[gorush]

You might enjoy an old BBC comedic series from Netflix called “Yes, Minister”. It was made in the early ‘80’s and will tickle the funny bone of any government cynic.

The Weather Channel announced Tuesday that they planned to start naming winter storms, similar to how the National Weather Service names tropical systems. Why?

• "-Naming a storm raises awareness.
  
• -Attaching a name makes it much easier to follow a weather system’s progress.
  
• -A storm with a name takes on a personality all its own, which adds to awareness.
  
• -In today’s social media world, a name makes it much easier to reference in communication.
  
• -A named storm is easier to remember and refer to in the future."

Maybe, next, they can start naming sunrises and sunsets.

Of course, every big storm becomes the new storm-of-the-century.

I remember you saying your Sunday Show’s schedule got all rearranged!

I’m just now going to watch FNS.

I want to see Rand Paul on CNN. Not sure of the time it starts here, but I’m checking now.

[Lakeside Granny]

That’s good, Bernard. And I’ll take it, leading from the middle better than from behind which is going to get a whole lot of us killed.

And also, we would have Sarah. However, the LSM would not give a free pass to anything she said, no matter how brillant, as they do Ole’ Uncle Joe.

[rodguy911]

We were set up again....politically.

Its what they do. And what we have not learned to do. Political expertise, they have it we don't.

The bent axel,plouffe et. all, set up a scenario where the left got no budget cuts or sequestration.They never ever cut anything. Why would they? We are too easy a mark.

Under sequestration the commies have a list of six or eight key liberal causes where all the old people, children, or whomever will all die or suffer terribly if any of their funding is cut. Budget cuts(actually reductions in the increases) are miraculously always dire.They are never able to be worked out,never four day weeks instead of five. Just for grins they throw in military cuts as dire as well knowing our side hates cuts in the military.

The fact that huge budget deficits threatening the future of our kids or buying our own debt is never under consideration because once again we let them set the agenda...again.....is even more depressing.

You gotta wonder if we will ever learn.

[RetSignman]

Tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

They are all pontificating pissants.

[onyx]

ROTFL.
Thank you so much, for taking the time to provide the link!
The Weather Channel is almost useless! Too many commercials.
I always get the feeling they’re hoping for a tragedy to report.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

So if we had gotten McCain in 2008 instead of Obama

We wouldn't have seen him since. (except on FOX)

[rodguy911]

Its called communists in office leveling the playing field.

[Lakeside Granny]

LOL Wallace has to stop Piglousy from talking before he even asks the question.

“We don’t have a spending problem,” she says. Where have we heard that before?

[kabar]

Combine that with the looming 500 billion in cuts making us a hollow force reminiscent of the Carter years decreases in our benefits and a paltry 1% pay raise proposed for FY 2014.

Sequestration was Obama's idea, but the Reps signed on to it. IMO neither party wants to make real spending cuts. They keep coming up with ideas to kick the can down the road. Both parties are holding DOD hostage, which was always the objective.

What I see coming out of this are some accounting gimmicks to forestall any real cuts and an agreement by the Reps playing the good cop to increase revenue by "closing loopholes" to protect DOD cuts. It will be portrayed as a matter of national security so that the Reps get a pass on agreeing to more taxes.

The sequestration bill excluded the entitlement programs and means tested welfare programs from any cuts meaning that any cuts to non-DOD discretionary funding would fall on all the agencies of government. Just as the military has done, we will have the Dems painting a doom and gloom picture of the impact of such cuts on children, the poor, health, etc. And the MSM is already awash with stories of how the implementation of sequestration will plunge us back into a recession.

So the spending will go on, taxes will continue to be increased whether thru tax rates, closing loopholes, the implementation of Obamacare etc. and so will the deficits. Projections are that we will raise more revenue in 2013--$2.7 trillion--than in any time in our history. And we will still run a $900 billion deficit.

Americans want all the benefits of the welfare state, but they don't want to pay for it. Eventually taxes will be raised on everyone in order to fund the welfare state. The Dems are setting the stage for it and after they regain the House in 2014, it will be a much different ball game. When Willie Sutton, the famed bank robber was asked why he robbed banks, he responded, "That's where the money is." Well, the middle class is the biggest bank of all and the Dems will tap it to keep the welfare state treading water. It will eventually fail, but not before defense is eviscerated (Guns versus Butter) and the government seizes most of the economy.

[who knows what evil?]

A named storm is easier to remember and refer to in the future.

Well...it's the 'future'. We all know about 'Nemo'. Can anyone name 'A' thru 'L' from earlier this winter season? No peeking. How about the current 'O' "ravaging" the upper Midwest?

We understand that, the problem is Darwinists have used it to disprove God and promote communism. We are saying it is time to accept evolution is a fraud. Some great people came onto this thread to counter evolution:

Hope things are improving.

Prayers for you Alas

“We don’t have a spending problem,” she says.

That's sort of a confession, as it really means: "We have no problem spending every nickel you have."

[Lakeside Granny]

She, also, said that it is the 1st amendment that gives us the right to bare arms.

[TomGuy]

“We don’t have a spending problem,” she [Pelosi] says. Where have we heard that before?

Says the ones who keep advocating for no debt limit, while their current spending is expected to be around $3.8 Trillion FY 2013.

It is unbelievable the rationale these politicians use -- and get away with, time after time.

[Chuck54]

Exactly. Scare the sheeple, watch the Republicans fold like a cheap suit. Pitiful.
