Be my guest. I can’t say what I really think they are because of profanity rules....(a little cussword now and then, but nothing so bad as what I’m thinking)

[griswold3]

curtailing the growth of government demonstrates an understanding of mathematics. We’re on the highway to ruin. But the left has a convenient scapegoat in Republicans.

Hey jon... you are a queer communist and so is your deity obama. Burn in hell jon... and quit trying to be like bon jovi... I know he is also a commie but taking the J out of your name does not make you cool.

What universe does this schizo live in? It sure isn’t this one.

[LibLieSlayer]

Make that H... no coffee this morning!

[Orangedog]

No conservative has ever said there should be no taxes...

I'll more than agree with that. In fact as recent as this morning I still have "good, TEA party conservatives on this site more or less using obama's "you didn't build that!" stump speech to excuse heaping taxes onto their neighbors so their kids can play games at government schools.

[subterfuge]

He lost me at “conservatives won the battle” with moderates.” I’m too busy to read the other thousand words of propaganda.

[Democrat_media]

I do want to do away with almost all government services.
what can those corrupt ,evil,unaccountable government bureaucrats do better than the free market or free individuals. any of you want to rely on a Lois Lerner running your life and doing for you better than you can for your life? multiply that 1 by the millions of transactions carried on in real time by crack businessmen and technicians who are the best in the world with 20 years experience (that's called free market capitalism). and each of those works with their own money. gov idiots work with other peoples money and so are unaccountable. any of you think that an unaccountable government bureaucrat can run the free market transactions better than the free market when a corrupt unaccountable gov idiot doesn't know its you know what from a hole in the ground much less to be able to run even 1 business or 1 individual better than those can do it themselves. a gov idiot takes months to make one decision where as the free market works in real time

governmentS spent 30 years funding fake research for a hoax called global waring. this is what government does. gov is unaccountable. the IRS ,FEC and other agencies targeted conservatives to rig the election. The EPA is shutting down coal plants for a hoax called global warming. the gov schools are a joke. HUD and gov housing are hell on earth. detroit, USSR, n korea, need more examples of why government is the problem. socialism /government can never work. NASA has also been doing years of fake global warming research. these are the functions of NASA and the IRS ?? to target and oppress conservatives. gov must be eliminated except for military, and border control

[winodog]

It read like an alternate history novel.
Made little sense to a uneducated peon such as myself.

[SCHROLL]

The leftists among us see any one wanted a limited government as somehow wanting no governemnt at all. Just goes to show that once you start down a path of having to lie to defend your position you can’t ever stop lying.
