Obama had me worried with all his bad decisions. After this comment and all the peace with Islam crap and huge military cuts, I’m a bit scared to be honest with you. What concerns me more is that while most of here like to complain, probably few us are willing to organize in a way that will make a change (It’s not natural to the conservate mindset I guess). Perhaps it’s time we stopped complaining and started organizing. Give the Liberals in this decade what they gave us in the 60′s. Let them know how it feels to see the streets full of protest and their form of government questioned. BTW, throwing tea into water wont make a difference to a liberal. Most don’t know thier history and won’t get the point being made. They do remember the 60s though and seeing conservatives take it to them will make an impact. Any one up for a sit in at the IRS office? How about blocking traffic for several days in front of the White house?

forget the pitchforks, maybe you should think about burning the witch pelosi first.

We need to realize that these people went into public service because they couldn’t cut in private enterprise, so they don’t know anything about anything. They certainly have no business messing with any business, they were sent there to legislate, not to meddle.

I’m waiting for Hopenchains to speak to UAW officials the same way.

NYT tells Boston Globe they have 30 days to get $20 million in concessions from its union employees, or they shut the rag down. Maybe NYT’s Pinch Sulzberger should consult with TOTUS Yomama on how to handle the pesky unions. Now THAT would be something to see!

I want to know what this f*cker is going to do about the North Korea situation. My guess is “nothing”.

I hate obama. But I hate obama voters more.

obama sought power and got it. His voters were simply too stupid to know they were suckered into America’s destruction.

Ummmmmm….. you do realize blogs are private entities, thus not subject to censorship laws, right? Whoever owns the blog decides what is published, and what level of feedback they want.

Fed45 on April 5, 2009 at 3:36 AM

Of course I know that. But censorship laws were written before Algore invented the internet, so there is some wiggle room. The blogs are private, but they are distributed over a public medium.

please demonstrate you know how bankruptcy works

why, the company’s eliminated, the executives are dragged away for stoning while the assets are burned.

How is a bailout option more convincing that a bankruptcy option?

in a nutshell, because the recession would probably be much longer if we didn’t bail out some of these companies.

51% always wins. If you are always in that 49%, well….sucks to be you.

tell me about it. it’s even more infuriating when sometimes you get 51% and you still lose.

no. i was referring to this arcane concept called majority rule.

It is arcane. Which is why our govt. doesn’t subscribe to it, jackass! Do you understand what a Republic is? Do you REALLY want to live in a society where the minority has no rights? Because that’s how a democracy works. 51% always wins. If you are always in that 49%, well….sucks to be you.

I’ll gladly send you my kid’s copy of “Schoolhouse Rocks”, if you aren’t quite grasping this concept
