I don’t argue your point, beyond saying that they would die anyway. It is the manner of their death that we remember, not the death itself.

You’re dead right about the effects of national healthcare and the inevitable welfare state that will follow, but you won’t prevent its eventual implementation via the ballot box – you no longer have the numbers.

Here lies the body of John O’Day
Who died defending the right of way
He was right, dead right, as he sailed along
But he’s just as dead as if he’d been wrong

Thing is…nat’l healthcare will give us the british disease.
Secularization and the welfare state.
The Alamo-ers were gallant, brave, and remembered.
But they are just as dead as John O’Day.

You seem to be most generous in your view of people.

I, on the other hand, am well aware of the true meaning of the word “fair”. It bears no relation to what the majority of people want. They want whatever they can steal take.

I mean…symbolic protest is cool, but how many of those Alamo guyz lived?

However, we all still remember the Alamo – with pride.
The same will not be the case with this admin.

Maybe so!

Has Obama stumbled a bit out of the gate with some of these nominees? He has, just not nearly as much as you are supposed to believe from some of the bug-eyed, screw-you screamers from the right for whom Obama will never be able to do anything right, who want you to believe that we are still stuck on the part of the last presidential campaign about whether or not Obama is a Socialist.

I love this line in the article by Lupica. Bug eyed? Screw you? Screamers? This is why liberal talk radio fails to garner an audience. It’s their “I’m smarter than you” mantra and the snorting and pinching their noses shut at middle class America’s stink.

This hutzpuh on the part of these wordsmiths makes me want to duct tape my head to prevent an explosion (thanks for the tip Glen).

There is no question Obama is a Socialist. Prove to me otherwise tough guy Lupica. All of this justification for bad judgement and limp wristed excuses on the part of the DC thugs makes me want to catch my hair on fire and put it out with a hammer.

Blech! Shut up or lead from the front.

So much stupidity on this planet. Science had better re-evaluate the meaning of sentient to mean only that such a creature can feel. Intelligence is not a requirement..

That’s not quite it really. People aren’t stupid, they would just rather have a fair master then freedom. And Obama won the election on just that platform.

What isn’t fair though is that the 52% of the populace that is tired of thinking for itself will have no problem taking from the 48% of us who actually produce things.

Mother in law bought one of his baseball books for my son. I read it first. It read like a “How to” book for the beta-male!

I meant that Obama is weak in character; he is thin-skinned. He has majorities in both houses; why wouldn’t his legislation pass?

Furthermore, he hasn’t exactly spoken out against a revival of the Fairness Doctrine.

There aren’t enough conservatives among the Republicans to make a difference…yet.

And….Obama is hardly weak.
The stimulus bill passed, ‘member?

Proof number two: Return of the Fairness Doctrine. A strong, confident leader doesn’t need to silence his opposition.

In the sand he drew a line
with his mighty sabre
out of a hundred eighty nine
not a man crossed that line

I mean…symbolic protest is cool, but how many of those Alamo guyz lived?

Minority sulking and whining is not becoming to the loyal opposition.
And its dumb….makes you look bad, and powerless.
Be gracious and subversive in defeat.

I’m seriously questioning if Obama can properly operate toilet paper.

Teh One doesn’t wipe; he sheds.

Am I this out of touch, has the America I love gone crazy, have the far left radicals actualy WON?

Are we doomed?

Mark Garnett on February 17, 2009 at 9:25 AM

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I’ve seen it all before – twice.

Nothing could be done with Snowe, Collins, and Sphincter in the Dhimm camp. Repubes were stimied from any alternative without them. That’s why these 3 should be ex-communicated IMMEDIATELY.

“With loony jihadists threatening from without, a crumbling economy terrorizing its citizens from within, Obama knew he needed straightaway to demonstrate utmost competence to stem fear and instill confidence. The reason for his wanting to assemble an able cabinet more quickly than any other administration in recent history was to show that, though the nation had major problems, they were under study and would soon be attacked by the most capable minds of our time. He needed to calm the country down, and show, in a measured but forceful way, that a strong hand was at the wheel.

He calmed the country down alright.

Dow Jones calmed down 2.77%
NASDAQ calmed down 3.23%

For what it’s worth, investors aren’t buying the Porkulus.
