Free Republic

I got ya'

"Our splurge is a cruise every couple of years."

Our splurge was a 22 foot camping trailer a few years ago. Four days at some state parks a few times a year is our "get away". Probably works out the same money-wise.

We keep our wants and our needs in perspective.

Ha! I live near a mid-size city and routinely see "residents" sporting $4,000 worth of tatoos and the latest I-phones and eat out way more than I do.

They struggle because they're dumb-asses.

Ever vote 3rd party for President?

1976 voted for Tom Anderson (American Party) - just couldn't pull the lever for Ford.

1992 voted for Ross Perot (Independent Party) - no way was I voting for "Read My Lips" Bush.

And no, I didn't elect Clinton - the Republican Party did that.

“I want to believe”

The Tubes did a great remake of “Love Will Keep Us Together” - I think about the same time they did “White Punks on Dope”.

(Best move ever, by-the-way).

Saw a great interview with her from about 10 years ago - worth looking up.

Woody Guthrie was a commie.

Just get ‘er done!

Will be reading Patrick Henry's speech to the Virginia House Of Burgesses (out loud).

Had an instructor who recited the whole speech from memory - when he was done the whole class stood and cheered, ready to fight the British.

"Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." Romans 1:24-25

Worship God, not "mother nature"

We are called to be good stewards with the environment God has created for us and our use - NOT worship it.

Heck, that’s a 1/4-trillion dollars - that’s how you pay down a debt.

"Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat"

"Not again"!

"100 million poor people. What are they going to buy?"

Like any third-world nation looking to keep pace, machine tools, aircraft, trucks, and food.

Things they WON'T be buying from red China.

This reminds me of the Iran-Iraq blood-letting war. Very little progress on either side, just lots of dead bodies.

Nice market. 100 million people.

And they've kicked the snot out of Red China a couple of times.

Hmmm, could we modify this for Antifa/BLM insurgents?

Commies starve people.

Fed. Chair Jerome Powell is insane - tariffs are none of the Fed's business. They are strictly the realm of the Executive branch/Treasury Sec.

Dammit.

"No earmarks. No handouts. Just real fiscal reform."

Maybe next year?

"Surprised and thankful that Murkowski voted for it!"

Thune must have given Alaska some pork.
