What candidate is even talking about eliminating agencies? Oh it is the Kooks. Paul and Johnson.
“Both Chambliss and Crapo need to be primaried.”
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Ditto, Amen, Amen, Amen!!!
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”
The Democrats have created this hellish nightmare and it is up to fiscally responsible Conservatives to remember the REPUBLIC screw the DEMOCRACY and shut down the corrupt power grabbing Democrats once and for all...
Best post of the thread, AMEN!!!!!
If the U.S. Constitution was designed to prevent the government from having too much power, how did we end up with a government that controls just about everything in our lives?
Because of three groups of people and five tendencies all too familiar to the founding fathers:The three groups:The founding fathers warned that lack of vigilance would enable the group 1 and group 2 parts of society to enslave and impoverish the group 3 people who actually produce everything. The answer is to take the government back from the abusers in group 2 and use it to cut them and those in group 1 off at the ankles.1. Those who want to live off the labor of others.The five tendencies:
2. Those who want to control the lives of others.
3. Those who are productive and want to be left the hell alone.1. People in group 2 promise people in group 1 a cut of the loot if they enable them to spoliate people in group 3.
2. People in group 2 can rely upon people in group 1 to respond to envy and people in group 3 to be manipulated by pitching something as a public good or by characterizing their reluctance to fund the scheme as miserliness against the "needy" in group 1.
3. People in group 3 are so busy trying to be productive and take care of their own lives and dependents that they don't pay enough attention to the collusion between the moochers in 1 and despoilers in 2.
4. Small-time number 2 people, known as criminals, rely on robbery or fraud to separate people in group 3 from their products of labor and don't really give a rat's ass about people in 1.
5. Big-time number 2 people, known as statist politicians, rely on the force of law to extort from people in group 3 the products of their labor, while paying off people in group 1 for their support in attaining public office and staying there. They also don't give a rat's ass about people in group 1 except to have as many as necessary to keep themselves in office but not too many lest they not have enough people in group 3 to keep the whole thing running.
Excellent!
The three groups:
1. Those who want to live off the labor of others.
2. Those who want to control the lives of others.
3. Those who are productive and want to be left the hell alone
RIGHT ON
Can’t figure out that “cuts” won’t get the job done. Its time to amputate...a few Federal Agencies ...just for starters.
That’s an excellent summation of our situation. Thanks.
Budget bump for later........
Thanks, guys. The situation really is simple. It’s just those with their fingers holding the strings are motivated to keep talking up complexity. The founding fathers had a good solution: you just cut the frigging Gordian knot.
Well don’t blame Saxby Chambliss. He never saw a Democrat sponsored bill he didn’t like.
Something tells me you haven't the first clue what a conservative is!
Tom is some kind of peacenik who wants to cross the aisle and sing kumbyah or whatever. He can’t recognize the enemy... obastard duped him, Tom thinks he is his friend. I used to think Tom was a smart Okie but not so much anymore. He has stayed too long.
If you think that makes him less of a conservative, then we don’t stand a snow-ball’s chance in Hell in 12!
As for the 20 years and “term limits.” Coburn hasn’t reneged once on his term limit promises.
He’s in DC because we voted overwhelmingly to send him there, both, as congressman and senator.
If you know of someone more conservative... post the name.
While you’re at it name your senators, I’m curious.
Tom also stood up for his friend Nancy Pelosi, saying "she's a nice lady."
They think this is only a football game and the Democrats are their best buddies just on a different team while the Democrats are playing to win and for keeps.
Yep, there are whole departments of the federal government that could go away tomorrow and citizens would notice no differences in their lives but more freedom and prosperity.
