And Perry is correct about SS.

Economically speaking and historically speaking Perry is accurate.

Many Americans believe that SS is an investment contract with the Federal Government. It is not. SS is an entitlement

This rant thread is highly unworthy of Perry or the difficult facts that Americans must eventually face.

I agree.
I think Perry’s only major blunder was touching the 3rd rail of SS

We know it is in trouble but I would not want to go there in the general election.

And I agree, I want mine. I have been paying in to the system for 38 years.

Rut-roh, you’re having a flood?
Oh no.
We had a drought here most of the summer (southern WI). Corn looks like crap, ears not filled out. Soybeans have rolled up leaves, grass was brown.
Got some rain last Saturday with hellacious (spelling?) winds and downed some big trees on the farm, which we sawed up today. A few hours with the chainsaw and BobCat and it’s back to normal.

Keep yer powder dry!

No doubt. Very nice painting.

I just figured it was a subtle Palin slam from a Perry supporter... :)

I am probably more open minded than the Bolt addicts here about tolerating non conformity and freedom of expression within paleo-neo-conserva-libertarian boundaries.

But you did get your thread back and it was sort of just a one line shot into space.

If you want to attack any candidate, be my guest but lay it all out and defend your position.

Threads like your’s are very rarely tolerated regardless of the content.

For example...even an “I Love Sarah Palin So Much My Tummy Hurts” would likely get yanked too.

Choose your battles better and offer substance. You are likely fortunate you are a 12 year veteran.

“Anyone who thinks this site is about FREEDOM is sadly mistaken.”

I’m more than a bit unsure of how you are defining ‘freedom’ in this case.

From your post, and my experience on FR, your sentence makes no sense. Could you explain further, please?

I am seeing too many old timers committing suicide by zot.

I'm telling you... I've been noticing the same thing - almost a pattern developing. Almost makes you think there's a ten year limit on Freeperhood or something. Hit year ten, and boink! You suddenly become zot bait.

Weird...

Generally, politicians avoid SS because they are dishonest Rats or there is no hope of properly educating the American public about the reality of SS so they understand what MUST happen, eventually.

Perry may just be an excessively honest politician.

Now my posts sound like lame comedy.

well stated post, wardaddy. but still...it is a free republic or is it not. i am free to be ignored...but censored? that is the call of the folks who run the site, just don’t use the words free or republic if censorship is the norm, which we both know it is.

Only the government can censor, this is a private site. You are here only at the pleasure of the host. Seriously, why don’t you get that?
