It would be  a wake up call if I actually thought it would make a dent in your apathy. I don&#039;t. Ultimately it&#039;s just me venting the same old exasperation that builds up from time-to-time.

Dismiss it as &quot;unoriginal&quot; and get back to your uselessness.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Peter Orszag, Barack Obama’s budget director, says the White House won’t take off the table an option to push through its legislative agenda using the “reconciliation” process.  It would keep Republicans from stopping bills on taxes, budgets, and global warming:&lt;/blockquote&gt;

LOL. Too funny.

Republicans stopping anything! I must be at comedy central. The Repubs can&#039;t stop anything. They have and will continue to pass all of Obama&#039;s bills. Snowe, Collins and Specter will guarantee it. Yet we spend our time yelling at Dems for being Dems. The enemy is us.

Obama and crew are considering this approach not to prevent Repubs from blocking stupid bills, but from over riding Dems for crossing party lines and joining with the remaining Repubs and blocking legislation. This has absolutely nothing to do with the Repub party. Obama takes those three Senate votes for granted, as well he should. 

I have said before the only way Pelosi, Reid and Obama bills fail is because they are so outrageous that even the unified Dems vote against them.</description>

		<description>For Global Warming legislation we should simply do away with Congress entirely and let The One pass it by dictatorial fiat. 

I have seen An Inconvenient Truth and if we don&#039;t let the Dear Leader act soon, the oceans will rise, the sky will turn black and brown, and all the worst bits of the Bible will come to pass. Probably on Tuesday. 

According to the Prophecy (Goracle 12:24).

		<description>As Kipling said in 1899, it&#039;s just &lt;a href=&quot;http://poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/old_issue.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Old Issue&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;All we have of freedom, all we use or know--
This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.
     
Ancient Right unnoticed as the breath we draw--
Leave to live by no man&#039;s leave, underneath the Law.
                       
Lance and torch and tumult, steel and grey-goose wing
Wrenched it, inch and ell and all, slowly from the King.

Till our fathers &#039;stablished,, after bloody years,          
How our King is one with us, first among his peers. 

So they bought us freedom-not at little cost--         
Wherefore must we watch the King, lest our gain be lost.

Over all things certain, this is sure indeed,
Suffer not the old King: for we know the breed.

           ***************************

Here is naught unproven--here is naught to learn.
It is written what shall  fall if  the King return.

He shall mark our goings, question whence we came,
Set his guards about us, as in Freedom&#039;s name.

He shall take a tribute, toll of all our ware;
He shall change our gold for arms--arms we may not bear.

He shall break his Judges if they cross his word;
He shall rule above the Law calling on the Lord.

He shall peep and mutter; and the night shall bring
Watchers &#039;neath our window, lest we mock the King --

Hate and all division; hosts of hurrying spies;
Money poured in secret, carrion breeding flies.

Strangers of his counsel, hirelings of his pay,
These shall deal our Justice: sell-deny-delay.

We shall drink dishonour, we shall eat abuse
For the Land we look to--for the Tongue we use.

         ********************************

Here is nought at venture, random nor untrue
Swings the wheel full-circle, brims the cup anew.

Here is naught unproven, here is nothing hid:
Step for step and word for word--so the old Kings did!

Step by step, and word by word: who is ruled may read.
Suffer not the old Kings:  for we know the breed--

All the right they promise--all the wrong they bring.
Stewards of the Judgment, suffer not this King! &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Since when has there been a backlash for the government doing nothing?  I think folks probably wouldn&#039;t mind right now if Congress sat on its hands for a few months.</description>

No, he&#039;s repeating this on as many threads as possible.  Can&#039;t tell whether this is a wake up call or he&#039;s just run out of original things to say.</description>

		<description>We are living under a tyranny, fascist government. We will never recover. By the time of the 2010 elections, it will be all over. Just like P.T. Barnum said years ago, there is one (sucker) born every minute. John Q. Public is dumber than a sack of hammers and they are allowed to vote.</description>

Driving this nation into Third World status is impossible, as it is impossible to develop China or India to be a First World nation.

There are some things they are not going to adopt - quality(China) or not making their citizens second class(US, China).</description>

		<description>How many times does this have to be said. The Left, and Obama in specifics, are interested in one thing and one thing only, political power. 

Removing the filibuster now will grant them more power, so it is a good thing. Restricting it in any fashion 4 years ago would have limited their power, so then it was a bad thing.

This is the pattern we&#039;ve seen, and this is merely a particularly disgusting example of it.</description>
