Sadly, even some of the newcomers seem to think it was the Ethanol Party that got them elected.
Well Jim... a 3rd party will never make it. But, what would help enormously would be conservatives getting serious about owning their local and state levels of the GOP. They simply don’t, and have not, for all too many years. Just darken the door of your own district committee - and see what lurks there, voting, and moving non-conservatives up the political ladder.
Well, your heart's in the right place, but that would provide us with a defense allowance of about $ 150.00 per year for each active duty member of our armed forces. So, if everything went to salary (no new or replacement equipment or supplies), we'd have to get them to serve for less than three dollars per week.
Everything is very expensive these days and it's time to start cutting everywhere we can, but we have to be realistic about what we need to spend for an adequate defense.
The American people will not be mocked by a political class whose definition of bipartisanship is the bankrupting of the United States.
True dat!
We will not be mocked by a ‘ruling class’ be it Democrat or Republican.
Well - I agree wholeheartedly - and I won't quibble numbers much, but when I think of 13 trillion dollars evaporating over just the last five years or so - one ten thousandth of which is $13,000,000,000 - I think we could pay our soldiers at least triple what they currently get.
But more important than salary for soldiers is the equipment we give them to fight with. INHO, our 'leaders' have allowed that to stagnate to insufferable levels.
fumble-finger preview to no avail! LOL
About $150 per head.
Defense is expensive!
[President Obama negotiated the deal with the GOP in secret without the input of a single Democratic leader, which he then tried to sell to the Democrats by distributing to each of the Democratic lawmakers a bar graph labeled “What WE Got” and “What THEY Got.” (According to the graph, “we” got more than “they.”]
Sickening.
Methinks Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen have forgotten that the RATS are still in power.
Let’s revisit their thoughts and ideas, say, six months from now. I expect they will be amazed.
The LAME DUCK Congress is connecting to the message and ramming as much of The Agenda through as they possibly can at the eleventh hour. That is far from clueless.
Let hope we are all amazed!
Sorry but it isn’t congress that is clueless it is the American people and voters and yes that includes a lot of posters here on FR.
What most fail to realize is that socialists do not care what the sheep want or think, they only care about what they want.
So it’s the stupid American people that don’t get it.
'We The People' are the most culpable of all - in that 'we' don't act as our Founders expected - and our Grandfathers once were committed to. 'We' opted for doing virtually nothing - other than watching TV, partying, vacationing, going to ball games - and generally burying 'our' heads in the sand.
The problem is that being a 'watchmen on the wall' takes lots of time and effort AND MONEY - from everyone. Noting that there are monthly meetings of our political parties, in our local districts and counties - yet less than .01 percent of 'conservatives' care enough to ever darken the doors of any of these very important meetings.
The lazy American 'conservative' should be term-limited in my estimation... you lose your right to vote if you don't attend to your duty as a citizen on a continuous basis... and that means caring enough to get in the car, turn the ignition key and drive to these KEY meetings, where you live.
Likely less than .04 percent of FReepers attend any local political party meetings, much less assist in GOTV or contribute a moment of their precious time to assisting conservative candidates in campaign necessities.
Love this quote, wanted to say it again!! So fitting for the 111th.
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, we won't get fooled again!"
But we will won't we?
Not only that but the so called “conservative” media is also clueless because they continue to report on the distractions of the left hand while the socislists are wrecking our country with the right hand.
Or, IOW, go on offense.
