Here's a democrat on c-span talking about fighting for the little guy. That's the problem. They are fighting for the power brokers.

We are the little guys, not the union thugocracy.

I am not concerned about who does not like what I post on FB. If I tick them off and they say good bye or F-you, I consider myself blessed. I can say with certainty that I have motivated others to get more informed and help us take back our country. Yes, I get almost all my stuff from FR, but heck, what are real friends for ;-) OBTW, I live on the Space Coast. Hi neighbor.

Before the 2008 presidential election,I was talking with some old women who always voted Democrat. They all stated they couldn't wait to vote for Barry Hussein. I told them “if that guy gets elected there will be blood in the streets.” They all laughed out loud and cackled like hens. Well,here it comes.

“Maybe it’s time for Tea Party Schools.”

And then again, maybe not. Can you just imagine the leftist rhetoric about “Teabagger Taliban Madrassas!”

I luv the space coast, watching launch of Discovery in 2007 from across from the launch pad. Then I came home and watched Discovery fly over my house. It looked like a shiny soup can in the sky.

I keep the unfriend directory in case of a friend emergency. I got unfriended over Bristol Palin being on Dancing w/the Stars. My unfriend enjoyed a concert I gave at her group home job and I took her profile pic. I was shocked, made her take my pro pic of her down and she apologized. I'll run into her again - accepted her apology.

She luvs Jeb Bush for helping panhandle during hurricanes but hates everything about true conservatism not that Jeb is a true conservative as he's squishy on border and illegals.

Teachers get other employment during summer break and tutoring work. They have it really good at taxpayer expense but the money tree is out of leaves - it’s bare.

‘Bammy enjoining the fray just is moving Madison, Wisconsin a heck of a lot closer to Ft.Sumpter, SC.

Its becoming obvious what our “betters” have in mind for Flyover Country.....

Wait until the little old ladies can’t get that hip or knee replacement. Being bedridden due to a fracture is the quickest way to experience declining health.

Barack Obama is an agitator straight up. That’s all he’s good for.

Here’s another one for your facebook wall. Things like this is where our side misses out on great rhetoric opportunities that the radical left would seize upon in an instant.

Why aren’t our media folks crying:

“FIND A DEMOCRAT SENATOR, SAVE A STARVING WISCONSIN CHILD!!!

Who hasn’t had a taxpayer-paid breakfast, lunch, and school provided dinner in THREE DAYS!!

WHY DO DEMOCRATS HATE THE THE CHILDREN, AND WANT THEM TO STARVE????”

“Being bedridden due to a fracture is the quickest way to experience declining health.”

That just makes it easier for them to vote Democrat by absentee ballot.

Think like a leftist does....

Once granny loses her SS check, Medicaid will step in, take all of it and stick her in a lousy nursing home. She’ll be so high all the time, she’ll sign anything.

These guys are going to start a civil war in this country. One they are not prepared for and will not win. How much of the public funds are they willing to take. If given the choice they would steal food from children's mouths to fund their extravagant pensions. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM! I hate the unions and the DemonRAT party.

President Obama thrust himself and his political operation this week into Wisconsin's broiling budget battle, mobilizing opposition Thursday to a Republican bill that would curb public-worker benefits and planning similar protests in other state capitals.

The states should band together and sue Obama on the grounds that his supporting the storming of capitols and AWOL Democrats is unconstitutional, and maybe even treasonous.

Article IV Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Obama is openly working to undermine the Republican Form of Government in Wisconsis by blocking the state's legislative process, essentially attacking it by using its apparatus against itself. He is effectively supporting the overthrow of the legislative process in Wisconsin by ignoring the Wisconsin State Constitution, just as he is ignoring the United States Constitution.

If I made a huge blunder like that, and concerning all the repercussions since...I'd certainly not want to divulge my stupidity either. Likely there's allot of shame for those who did vote for Obama if they have any conscious at all.
