Bernanke Urges GOP To Be Irresponsible And Support Raising Debt Ceiling
The Patriot Statesman ^ | 6-15-2011 | Bill Kneer

Posted on 06/15/2011 10:08:17 AM PDT by BillKneer

The Associated Press in a story posted on Yahoo News today headlined “Bernanke urges GOP to support raising debt ceiling”

Look this is not that complicated for those who have and are willing to use just a little of the common sense that GOD has given them. Raising the debt ceiling will do nothing without cutting and I mean real cutting. If all we do is raise the limits all we are doing is kicking the can down the road and putting our children’s future at more risk.

If I was irresponsible and continually over spent and kept going to the back for more money the back would throw me out and say change my habits and they would be right to do so.

These elected officials think that its fine to give money freely to China in the form of aide and then let china buy our debt and own our nation? This is truly a land of idiots and this thinking is dangerous to our nation.

This should be considered domestic terrorism...To have someone with this power to try and manipulate them to destroy our nation. This guy is willing to kill our nation for his personal benefit...He wants is to accept raising the debt ceiling so they can further fund there habit...

The Republican party will be beyond saving if they cave again, they will have become as big a phony as the child president.

And Mrs. Greenspan (Andrea Mitchell) will then do another hit piece on the Republicans that don’t go along.

How do you feel about folks excerpting their own material in order to get blog hits?

Hijacking Free Republic as a free advertising platform is perhaps not terrorism, but it sure is scummy.

Don't you think so?

The continued bailing out of the GLOBAL banking financial services industry from their bad gambling debts known as Credit Derivative Swaps, will destroy this world. No money, no jobs, no economy.

And all for the sake of keeping the lie of fiat currency “working”. There is a special place in h@ll for these people. Their arrogance knows no bounds.

Yeah, the economy is imploding, and all you care about is someone might get some extra blog hits.

Get a life.

Do you think that falling for a "click my blog" scam will save the economy?

If this cat has a worthwhile message, why can't it be posted here?

Yes, agreed. Bernanke is a terrorist.

But why not post the whole thing here? Please don’t ask us to visit your blog.

LOL, ‘this cat’.

Admit it, you’ve been watching some 1960/1970 cop-show drama.

Maybe you enjoy clogging a thread with comments that don’t add to the conversation. I don’t enjoy how you systematically shut down discussions of interest with your constant thread mucking.

Why don’t you ADD to the conversation and say something about the debt ceiling?

Do you have a worthwhile message to post?

Or do you think that Freepers are stupid and need you to tell them not to participate on threads whose link you disapprove of?

I suggested no such thing.

I asked that the full content be posted HERE.

Would that not facilitate greater ease and more discussion of the topic? HERE?

Actually, anyone who has kept up with this issue would not need to do so.

In fact, lots of Freepers don’t read the article.

Why not just treat other Freepers with the dignity of letting them decide if they wish to click though or not?

Isn’t that giving the Freeper who looks at this thread the presumption of having a brain of their own?

You are starting to look like a hall monitor.

None of my remarks on this topic are directed at FReeper readers of the thread.

My remarks are directed at the blogpimp, that he may know he's not fooling anyone and should stop trying.

If we let FR become a dumping ground for blog links then the site will suffer.

This current article - for instance - looks like it might be a good one: but I can’t really tell. Why? Because it’s not actually been posted, just excerpted.

There’s no need to excerpt this article - so why not post the whole thing?

HotAir, SteynOnLine etc - we’re happy to visit these sites because we know we will find quality at the other end.

However we don’t extend this courtesy to every blogger. There are millions of blogs out there, and - frankly - they are not all winners. Let them prove themselves worthy of our time.

Hope this is helpful.

I would think that the wonderful community of Freepers will decide that for themselves. Don’t you?

Why not just let it be?

This constant posting and harassment does not do anything.

And neither of you have a post on topic at all.

Thread muckers, I say.

Why not follow the opinion of the owner of Free Republic?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=552#552

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Are your comments more enlightening?

How is your criticizing humblegunner’s post any different than his?

The only muck in this thread is in the OP. The gentleman needs a proofreader in the worst possible way.

Sloppy grammar means sloppy thinking, and clicking on a link that started out that badly would never occur to me.
