Who cares what that old alcoholic thinks?
He is as dumb as a stump.
I wonder if he was sober or high when he made these statements? Or maybe just......senile????
Brinkley said the tax rate is flat. Donaldson didn’t under stand.
So Brinkley said is you make 4 times as much you pay four times as much.
Donaldson still didnt undestand but let it go.
I didn’t know at the time he was getting a $100,000 tax subsidy for mohair, used to make WWI and WWII uniforms.
Dementia and alcoholism has severely affected his small mind.
Hey Sam taking the country back 25-30 years would work for you. Higher BAC allowed plus the police would often give you a “go home” order or take you home if they suspected one had been drinking.
Sam has no idea what the Tea Party is about and what it stands for.
It wasn’t the Tea Party that lost the election, you old drunk - it was the Republican Party trying to play it safe by nominating a weak middle-of-the-roader who failed to secure the base of his party and who failed to articulate the core principles that the Tea Party strives for. The candidate lost because he was weak.
We’re going to win the Presidency back, you bourbon-soaked old fart, and when we do, you’ll be eating your hat.
I’m pretty surprized that a guy like Sam could get as far ashe has without a working brain.Jimmah Carter did well with his limited mental agility too.
“Physically, he tends to remind one of an eagle.”
He reminds me of an old dog turd, on the lawn.
Sam is more about political ideology, than about country.
The problem for republicans going forward, is that, unlike the English and other Europeans of 100-400 years ago, who were able to leave crappy situations and crappy countries, that option is no longer available. There is no new “America” with the hope of a new life and a new success and a new set of freedoms. America is stuck with becoming the repressive and oppressive type of government which the pioneers left way back then.
Sam is right, and there is no going back. Not when the majority is determined that the government owes them anything and everything.
The only hope, if anybody wants to contemplate it at all, is for the more conservative states to try to set their own paths, and perhaps even secede. The country is too far gone, and in reality, there is no way back to 1982 or even to 2000.
Sure thing, Sam, that Tea Party idea of the government living within its means is just so ‘out there’. Now, eat your pudding and take a nap.
It sounds like "resistance is futile" you will be absorbed.
Donaldson is part of the marxists rear guard making sure we don't reverse the gains they have made over the last thirty years.
Sam Donaldson is the problem, not the solution...
The same Sam Donaldson who retired rather than risk asking tough questions of Bill Clinton.
Who IS Sam Donaldson? Why should anyone care? Really.
Long ago, a Freeper posted the Agenda of a 2002 meeting of so-called "intellectuals" in Chicago.
Note the participants in that conference are the major "players" in the headlines emanating from White House policy makers in 2012.
Picture this: a group of people who describe themselves as being "intellectuals," declaring of the conference: "It will be both a celebration of ideas and a rigorous examination of the roles and responsibilities that intellectuals play in society."
Nothing is so pitiful and shameful that, in a country whose document of liberty was authored by a true intellectual, and was said by him to be a mere representation of "the American mind" of 1776--in such a country, in 2002, after over 200 years of basking in the "light of liberty" first shed by that document--we now have a group of people sitting around in Chicago and plotting how their so-called "intellectual" efforts will play a role "in society." Consequences of their "role" are being played out now in the "society."
As Weaver said, "Ideas have consequences."
The ideas of 1776 resulted in more liberty and prosperity for more people over a longer period of time than ever had been experienced in the history of civilization!
The so-called "intellectuals" who occupy positions of excessive coercive power in Washington today may, if unstopped, precipitate another age of darkness in the world, where the ideas of liberty have been censored, and "other ideas" from other sources have been exalted.
Dr. Russell Kirk years ago warned of what T. S. Eliot had labeled a "new provincialism--the provinciality of time, imprisoning people in their own little present moments." Picture the participants of that Chicago conference, so-called "journalists" like Sam Donaldson, and we have a visual demonstration of Kirk's words.
The enduring and essential ideas of Creator-endowed individual liberty must be defended against the "redistributionist" ideas which precede and lead to tyranny in every society where they have been implemented.
Where is the Jeffersonian intellect of 2012 who is up to the task? Whose study of the founding ideas can equip him to help American youth discover and preserve the ideas of liberty for their posterity?"
Now, however, the Democrats' "media" strategy toward their targeted groups (Hispanic, African-American, women, elderly, etc.) turns such understanding upside-down. They present "regressive" ideas as "progressive," "backward" policies as "forward," and "down" as "up." On and on it goes, with useful idiots like Donaldson defending their upside-down views, and portraying citizens involved in the "TEA party movement" as dangerous.
It's a strategy which goes deep into the decades-long effort to "fundamentally change" America from its new and revolutionary foundations in Creator-endowed liberty backward into the Old World, and later Marxian, ideas of control by imaginary human grantors and protectors.
