And I bet the unionista morons applauded. Most union people “work” for government now. It bothers me that I have to pay them.

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 outlaws paying women less if doing the same job as a man.

Oh, come on.

Everybody knows a child daycare worker is doing essentially the "same job" as the guy shoveling sludge at the sewage plant.

I hate to break it to you but you also pay for the contractors who do the work that government “workers” should be doing. And there are vast legions of innumerable (and highly paid) contractors working under government contracts in virtually every agency and department. In some places, contractors completely run the show since the feds are incapable and can’t, or won’t, do the work. Its really a giant, pathetic mess. The average taxpayer has no clue what’s going on.

Spoken from a man that has never run a business and had to meet payroll. He’s an idiot. Our next president needs to be a businessman.

With some military service....

One cannot have a sensible dialog with someone whose rhetoric defaults to “x+y=infinity” and “x-y=0” for any values of x and y he finds inconvenient.

The President, as is his wont, revels in reducing his opponents to mere caricatures, and the worth of their arguments to a species of thoughtless cruelty.

He does so because in truth, he but a caricature of a real President, and one fully imbued with the meanness of spirit he reflexively assigns to those who oppose him or worse, who threaten to reveal his one and only true object: his own glorification.

We have for the first time in our nation's history a President who genuinely and devoutly opposes the central principles upon which the American nation was founded: individual human liberty, the inalienable rights of all bequeathed by a just and loving Creator as a right of birth, not as a gift from a benevolent state power, or from its leader, whether chosen or not.

Do we oppose Mr. Obama? Yes, we do.

Because it is right and just to oppose a government that seeks not to protect rights but to impose endless laws, regulations and taxes that constrain and punish hard work, honor, and achievement, while rewarding sloth, immorality, and dependency.

Because it is right and just to promote liberty, commerce and voluntary association by a free people, and to oppose statism, collectivism and illegitimate means of social control by a central government that has forgotten its place.

Because it is right and just to promote a common culture and community by which all may prosper, and to oppose the divisive politics of group grievance.

Because it is right and just to promote human virtue, as reflected by honor, respect, decency, love, compassion, learning, and by productive enterprise.

And it is equally our duty to oppose a so-called "leader" who promotes the very opposite of virtue, and who practices it daily, with reckless abandon.
