Free Republic

Our Government would like us to think of it as a Great Benefit to us all but thru decades of greed it has mis-managed our affairs to the point where we are all headed for the Poor House, if wea re not already there.

Liberals: -- with business closing, -- and people leaving, -- and the budget collapsing under an avalanche of debt: as Dave Ramsey would ask: HOW's IT WORKING FOR YOU?

Women are just as good as men. Therefore: when you car won't start: 1. call a tow truck 2. have your car taken to a nearby service center 3. have them repair it for you 4. call for a ride do not take this out on your husband/significant other: they didn't design or manufacture the vehicle.

A Balanced Budget Amendment -- isn't going to happen this year... you have to pass it by 2/3 in the House and in the Senate, and then it has to be ratified by 3/4 of the States Instead, if the debt limit is not increased -- you have the effect of a balanced budget amendment -- already in effect. this is the alternative that we offer the democrats: clean up this fiscal mess: starting Aug. 2d

August will be the Time of Danger. 0bama is not going to get increased revenue from the House. Although he thinks he can order the House to write a bill in accordance with his desires he has been checked 0bama will attempt to get what he wants by going around the Constitution. he will attempt to bypass the Authority of the House -- and the American People there is a path known as "Special Drawing Rights" -- held by certain authorities -- one that he has command of. we had best post guards there, today.

the posturing is over the drunks have all emerged from the Saloon, bottles in hand and demanded "We're taking over this town" the Sheriff emerges from the jail to break up the mob but there are only 2 sides to the fight and they ain't noting to discuss this Old West Movie scene brought to you on Pensylvania Avenue

Mr. 0bama seems to think he can order Mr Speaker Boehner to write a spending bill to his personal liking. well mr 0bama: that ain't how it works here: you ARE NOT a DICTATOR and mr harry reed: you need to debate the bill that was sent to you and respond. anything less under these circumstances in malfeasance

we are looking right down the barrel -- of an empty barrel, of oil.Gasoline at $5/gal will affect the ability of our people to get back and forth to work. At higher levels it will put a lot of us out of work due to a lack of transportation. Ration cards, perhaps?We didn't have to come to this point: we could have built a synthetic fuel industry. The process for making gasoline from coal has long been established and we could have started with that, and moved on to algae, or garbage -- both of which have already been testedI...

You have no doubt many times heard the expression "tax and spend"This morning I offer the idea that the strategy is actually the reverse: spend and tax.How it worksMake a lot of campaign promises promising benefits to voters using the "if I'm elected" ployNeedless to say, the money for the promised benefits isn't available. thus, to fulfill the campaign promise the money has to be borrowedAs we all know the borrowed money wrecks the budget and makes raising taxes a "necessity"Here in Michigan our new governor wants to apply Michigan income taxes on our private pensions. Had he offered this...

i.e. "behave the way we want or else" that's EXTORTION, buddy, be ready to face the consequences.

Every day in the news there are more reports on un-employment. They may as well just shut up: jobs are where the factories are and they ain't here. Factories are located in low-cost areas. They have to be to compete. so we may as well quit fussing over illegal immigration because it won't be long before we are all illegals: working for less than minimum with no benefits and no taxes America has made itself cost prohibitive

the term "democrat".... has become a pejorative, i do believe

O'Blah-Blah: wrong enemy The enemy is INTERNATIONALISM, which goes alll the way back to Woodrow Wilson Why can't blah-blah do anything about the economy? get jobs for people? because jobs are where the factories are and the factories are not in the USA and so neither are the paychecks and so the economy goes into the dumpster go figure to a degree O'blah-blah seems to support the "60s revolutionaries" who were dedicated to tearing down "capitalism" and the industrial/banking hegemony associated with that system but he is being used by that system. while he thinks he is tearing them down...

EPA: "Enemy of the People Association" wants us to all have bed bugs attacks our personal cars with countless programs to make them cost-prohibitive won't let us throw away a paint can or drill for oil but allows plastic refuse to coat the surface of the ocean in HUGE areas with scarcely any public comment can't keep accurate records of temperature; probably other things

it is time to stop using the term "liberal" and start using a plain name those who seek to "fundamentally transform" our nation should be referred to as "leftists". no more sugar coating 'cuz there is nothing sweet about these goons.

what is "irresponsible" is not that wikileaks published the reports, but rather that the reports were not encrypted properly to begin with in todays computer environment we know everything sent on the 'Net goes into the Public Domain So if you don't want people reading it you had better encrypt it blah blah needs to fire somebody again today but this time for good cause then go get PGP software . ordinary e/mail accounts will use that software

The real consequence of debt is that in the future you will receive less than you earn in 1950 anyone who would get up and go to work could make a descent wage. Get a job that same week. One income would pay for a home, a car, and send the kids to college pile on debt you are transferring future earnings into present consumption. where the government is involved the current consumption is re-distributed in the form of entitlements. some of this re-distribution is done by means of inflation -- increasing the debt by creating ever more and more...

The most reprehensible INACTION of the Gulf Oil Disaster is the FAILURE of mr. o-blah-blah to suspend the Jones act and accept international assistance in containing and cleaning up the spill not only does this exacerbate the affect on wild life and the gulf eco system it affects the livelyhood of all the Gulf area people and with the potential for an adverse affect on the oil industry it has the potential to have an adverse affect on all of us mr. o-blah-blah should be called before Congress and made to answer questions. he should be made to stand while...

The most reprehensible inaction in the Gulf Disaster in the FAILURE of o'blah-blah to suspend the Jones act and to invite international assistance in containing and cleaning up the oil mess. this inaction on the part of o'blah-blah will result in greater damage to the ecology of the gulf, wildlife, and the economy of the citizens of the area. and it will probably have an adverse affect on U.S. oil production which could affect all of us it is time for mr. O'blah-blah to be called before the Congress of these united States to answer for this dereliction of his...

"Too Big to Fail": Necessity if the plea of tyrants what happened: blah-blah declares a company "too big to fail" and funds it with phony funds from the "Fed". This having been done blah-blah claims authority to fire ompany officers and generally call the shots: Tis IS a government take-over "All powers herein granted shall be vested in Congress" not in blah-blah this is a nation of laws, not of "Chicago-style" strong-arm mafia thuggery we must keep a very close eye on this brigand known as "blah-blah" because he won't stop until he is stopped.
