Just one thing ... let them have the internet ...
How does THAT grab ya ?
I have no numbers, but I'll guess we're about 50 / 50 split .. those that work away from home and those that stay home.
I honestly don't know where I'd go if FR was taken down or over.
I'd feel intellectually starved and what's left of my mind would atrophy in a day or two
Take away the internet and lock in control of the money ...,
Now THERE'S a combination for ya' ...
I can't buy more coffe and I can't get on FR.
I wonder what lead tastes like?
This "let them have everything" thread has been around here a couple of times and in my opinion ... we don't need the thought ptocess.
That’s because you know what will come of it. The socialist elites live in la-la land and really don’t know. Some of them were truly baffled by what happened in Benghazi (but others knew exactly what would happen and just acted stupid).
Doug needs to be talked off the ledge.
I would be inclined to agree IF the blame could be laid on Dear Leader and the Demo-Rats.
The Repulbli-Tards could give the RATS all of the above and when we turned into Greece with unemployment hovering around 12-14%, in a depression, $20 Trillion in debt, illegal aliens hovering around 20 million, property values in the tank, death panels, etc. (probably within 2-3 years) they will STILL (aided and abetted by their corrupt, biased media) blame it all on BOOSH...and worse yet, get away with it.
If we are wrong, then so be it. I will gladly repent of my evil conservative ways and become a socialist … I mean Democrat.
So we vote for over the cliff and into the abyss knowing the answer to the question, “no matter what “we” do “we” will be blamed”, so by God it is past time to do the right thing, and stand tall doing it.
Hey then don’t complain when Boehner follows your advice.
I understand the point he is making. The reps are in a no win situation. If they try to block O’s plans, they will be obstructionists. Because things are going downhill quickly, the accusation will be they are responsible because they didn’t give O’s plans an opportunity.
If they give O what he wants, they will be blamed by everyone for not stopping the mess we will be in.
Pretty much what Rush was saying last week.
It’s just a ridiculous idea. The Democrats would drive us as far into debt as humanly possible and then institute a 75% income tax and 50% VAT tax. Everyone would “learn their lesson” but the entire economy and our standard of living would be destroyed forever. It’s not even funny to joke about giving the Democrats everything they want.
Let’s make a deal. Bet the farm. Give them their budget deal if they give us the truth about Benghazi. They stonewall, we stonewall. Draw a line, stand firm. Even drag Romney back out and question him about what he knows and why he really went silent about it. At least we’ll gain some political ammunition to counter their crap.
Benghazi is the soft spot. Rip it open come what may.
We dont have a Republican congress, we have a Republican house. The senate is, and has been since jan’07, when all our current economic woes began, dim-0.
Without Allende, there would have been no Pinochet.
We cannot afford to go back and forth with these idiot Commies who are burying us with incrementalism. Let's bring it all down, go Galt.
Our once proud cities have already mostly been destroyed despite our desperat fighting, time to fan the flames and wait for the reconstruction after it's over.
desperat = desperate
iPad!
This is insane. Don’t give them anything. If the American people want what the dems have to offer, they would have given them the House of Representatives. They did NOT. On the contrary, Obama spoke like a Republican—balanced budgets, reducing the deficit, fiscal responsibility. And the American people left the adult party in control of the House.
Unless and until the dems get control of the House by election, they should not be handed it by traitorous, stupid, angry Republicans throwing a tantrum because their guy was not elected president. The fate of millions is at stake, not making a political point.
This strategy might work if the Fed were shackled. But as long as it can print money to fund obama’s programs, the pain will be delayed.
Not a bad idea if the entire country were Democrats. But unfortunately the good folks who are conservative would suffer from Dem foolhardiness and the entire nation would go into an unrecoverable tailspin. I do not mind the idea of liberals choking on their own swill but not when conservatives will suffer the collateral damage.
Actually, to some extent I do.
Republicans shouldn’t leave positions of power. They shouldn’t allow changes that would expand Dems control over people’s minds, votes, etc. But as far as all these economic things, intrusive laws, energy, taxes, etc, I say let them do it. They have a “mandate”, the MSM says so.
If we let this country go to hell the slow way, people will get used to it (the new normal) and $7 a gallon gas will not be so strange. Faster is better - let them be shellshocked at the plans the dear leader has for their lives.
Will Smith, huge O supporter was shocked when he did a French interview and they told him they wanted 70% taxes in France. Guess Willie doesn’t read enough to know what the leftist masses have in store for evil rich folk- I say tax all these celebs at 70% and we can watch them squirm because they will NEVER admit in public their leader is a disaster. Tomorrow. It would be so sweet.
