We – and especially young people – need to start talking right now about defaulting, as soon as the Democrats lose power, on the bonds that are sold to fund Porkulus. Let the government try to spend money that no one will lend them.

How is that “using Jesus”? It’s just counting back to 0 A.D. By that logic, every time you give a historical date, you’re using Jesus.

Certainly, but that doesn’t fit in with the “conservatives as crazed Bible-thumpers” imagery that was apparently intended.

And yes, I believe the American people are impotent. The fact that we WILL revisit granting illegal immigrants amnesty is proof of this. No matter how much outcry the American people have about the topic, the people in Washington will only delay what they know is best for us until they can slip it into some bill. We’re living under an oligarchy where our political appointees feel they know what’s best for the people instead of the people being power that allows the politician to vote in their stead.

The country has been turned on its head. Central government has wrested power from the people and the states, just what our founding fathers feared most.

I don’t believe the “war” has even begun. You can’t really believe that the American people are that utterly impotent.

That’s a problem, you don’t realize that the war has already ended.

How would you plan to de-nationalize health care now that SCHIP has been passed?

How would you derail the 100s of billions handed out to leftist interests?

How do you get people off of their dependency on government?

How do you remove the in-power party when their constituency can be gerrymandered in such a way that they are locked in and the White House controls the mechanism (Census Bureau) that sets the districts?

How will you educate younger generations (other than your own family members) about the evils of liberalism, the “Climate Change” hoax, and other propaganda promoted by the liberals in all levels of our educational systems?

So much has passed by without our fighting it. So many of our liberties are already in the process of being forfeited. I don’t see how it gets turned around.

I am reading a hilarious Cold War page-turner called “The Red President” in which a KGB undercover agent wins the Presidency in 1988 and immediately starts dismantling the nuclear umbrella and SDI, helping the Soviets overthrow governments, and generally trying to turn the USA into the USSA.

But the Red President (er, the fictional one) hasn’t tried a $787,000,000,000 “stimulus” bill yet…

Sadly, maybe we should all stop contributing to charities, since the government is redistributing the wealth. As I see it, there is no longer a need for any of them since the “messiah” is now leading us. Write your charity and tell them to ask the big “O” how much “HE” will provide. Ole Biden won’t be missed if he stops contributing as he did very little. Also, all workers should make sure that they are not using the payroll tax as a savings. All should adjust it to the bare minimum for the state and fed.

Sheriff246: Awesome idea. And I agree we have a chance to turn this around in Nov. 2010, but expect an amazing $pending $pree June-Sept. 2010.

DannoJyd…I shouldn’t have said you were a deadbeat…I apologize.
To be correct, I would have to call you a “Deadbeats Bee-atch”
The would be the proper prospective…(if you want to know where the Dems are taking us)

Got this email this morning:

At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor’s house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.

They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, “First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can.”

The student did as he was instructed.

The professor then continued, “Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it.”

The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.

The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.

The confused student asked, “Excuse me, but why are we doing this?”

The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.

The student didn’t think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.

However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, “All we’re doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you’ll really have accomplished is the appearance of doing something when all we did was the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!”

The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, “Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill.”

There is a common thread running through the Democrat led Government, they can’t hold still, and they have to jet off on our dime everywhere, why is that? Carbon Foot Print, the worst economy since the Great Depression? Hello anyone home in Washington, oh that’s right they all have other places they have to be :)

http://youhavetobethistalltogoonthisride.blogspot.com/2009/02/tgif-circus-life-i-write-sins-not.html

This is my, I Write Sins, Not Tragedies TGIF Post. Hope Everyone has a Great Weekend. We all know these law makers are getting frequently flier miles on our dime too right?

I always include you guys/Hot Air and Michelle Malkin, in my links to wrap ups. I think out of all blogs I read next to Cinie’s World. I read you all the most. http://cinie.wordpress.com/ Anyone who hasn’t should check her out she is great. If there was a common theme to the Obama Administration it would be “It’s the Bankers Stupid” just sayin it would make a great post, it isn’t the Lobbyist as much as it is the Bankers, influence on the New Administration.

DannoJyd-
Obviously you don’t have the ability to comprehend what is happening (you already are a deadbeat), nor what I am suggesting, nor the cajones to make it work…stay on the sidelines and watch…
I want to stop the engine of the world….stop the Looters.
Atlas Shrugged…
If 10% of the mortgage holders stop making their payments, the FED can’t do anything except wave goodbye. So the Dems either relent and reverse the Stimulus or the economy tanks and they get the blame…
We the People have the power to stop this crap, only weak knees like DannoJyd stand in the way…

A new Congress in 2010 sounds good, but it will never happen. By 2010 DC will have two Democrat Senators and a Democrat representative, millions of illegal aliens will be given the right to vote Democrat, and felons will be released from prison to vote Democrat. And of course ACORN is already printing up and filling out phoney ballots in the unlikely event that a Republican squeaks through. Wait! We just found this box of ballots in the back room. All for Democrats!

No, sadly, if we want to take back our country, we can’t wait for 2010. By then, it will be, as my grandkids say, All Gone.

Other than Boehner, I’m not impressed. Otherwise, I’d expect to hear from a larger number. Don’t these people recognize an opportunity?

genso on February 20, 2009 at 10:01 AM

NOT IMPRESSED!?!?!?!?

wow…the opposition to this Spendulus has inspiried the Nation…i should add that the Media does NOT want people to know there is another option out there…even the Messiah was running his mouth that the Republicans had no alternative ideas…which could not be further from the truth…

if you want to be mad…get pissy at those three traitors who have graced our “news” as brave heros…

You get high marks for wanting to fight the stimulous, but you are, IMHO, on the wrong track on method. Becoming a deadbeat isn’t the answer [I've come to realize]. Getting noisy about the scandalous stimulous paKKKage is.

Tell everyone you meet that Obamanomics will KILL America. I do, and it has an effect.

They learn in college to interpret any poem or work of fiction as homo-erotic porn, they deconstruct everything to see what their mindless reflexes tell them they must see.

jeff_from_mpls on February 20, 2009 at 11:01 AM

Oh Lord, you just reminded me of a class I wish I could forget. Argued for an entire period with a professor who insisted that the frog in “The Frog Prince” actually represents a penis, and the story is really about how the girl is repulsed by male sexual organs because she really doesn’t know/understand them. Eventually she relents and only when she embraces the “frog/penis” does she finally find her prince.

Keep in mind liberals are intellectually perverted.

They learn in college to interpret any poem or work of fiction as homo-erotic porn, they deconstruct everything to see what their mindless reflexes tell them they must see.

So is it really a surprise that the democrats would have an animal reflex to the word “Jesus?” There’s not thought between the stimulus and the response. Just a sort of grunt. Umm. Jesus Bad.

Prove me wrong.

Here's several ideas for people who want to avoid supporting the so-called stimulus.

I saw Clinton (I know you can’t believe a word he says) but he told Greta when she asked him the bill no one read. He said we can always revisit things. I think some Congressman from TX was saying we can “Contract with America” the provisions we don’t like for money unspent in 2010. The jist of both of these is it is not too late to notify congress you don’t like something in the bill and someone should offer to repeal it. It could put pressure on onerous parts or have them taken out so discussing Porkulus is not just acedemic. It could be used to press action or score points politically

SORRY TO DISAGREE, BUT IT ISN’T OVER
If we have some balls, all We the People need to do is organize a “We Aren’t Paying Our Mortgage and Credit Cards” website. If only 25% of the credit card holders and 10% of mortgage owners don’t pay, in three months, the FED will be out of business…as will all the banks. Then Congress will have NO CHOICE but to undo their “Stimulus” bill. All it takes are some committed citizens willing to take this to the end. If you have big ones, or care about the country let’s hear if your willing to make the hard decisions.
stop the stimulus!

The Party Apparatus over-reached, as expected.

And the People have noticed.

I’m feeling good about this.

+1 so long as the ‘feel good’ motivates moto perpetuo vs. Marx in America, not complacency of acceptance for further viral socialism in time.
