More coffee, please.

I’d like to see literacy tests come back for voting rights.
I’d love to see a Balanced Budget Amendment and Term Limits too.

May I add to your suggestion an amendment that strictly forbids government from owning or managing any portion of any corporation whatsoever?

And another repealing the 16th amendment?

And another that does away with this notion that a citizen has no standing to sue the government?

This government, OUR government, needs to be punished severely for what they are doing to us.

Those who voted for this stimulus should be voted out of office – every single one of them.

We despirately need to significantly reduce the size of our government. Do you really think that if 50% of the Federal government disappeared tomorrow that you would ever notice (other than not having to pay for it)?

When we get to the bottom of the corruption I know of a certain prison that will have (too many) vacancies we can throw these criminals in. Small island, nice view of the ocean, real honest to God marxist govenment right next door.

I have HAD IT with these people.

1121 cities are currently registered for the TEA party July 4th protest. I wonder how the media will spin the +2 million expected turnout. We all can’t be bible-thumping, gun toting, right-wing extremists. Many are dis-illusioned dems as well.

Oh, that one’s easy. It practically writes itself…

“A small minority fringe of the population of the United States turned up at so-called ‘Tea Party’ rallies today. In a thoroughly un-coordinated fashion, these disgruntled extremists gathered at various locations vaguely scattered about the country. These disaffected rabble-rousers clearly represent a tiny minority of popular opinion, since total attendance across the nation was composed of less than 1% of the general population.”

They will be shameless about it. Two million people can be spun as meaningless simply by pointing out that they couldn’t “be bothered” to all show up in one place together.

We live in a nation of uneducated idiots.

Nah. Just make stuff up if it bugs you.

In that case, I’m an oppressed Uigher! Or however you white people spell it in your ridiculous imperialist language!

Where’s my $12M and ticket to Pala…Palei…. that Allah-damned tropical paradise?

Thanks for the advice!

A little off topic, but has anyone else had a census worker come by and “check” their address with some sort of GPS device?

Yes. After they told me what they were doing, I asked them to skip my house. I doubt they respected my wishes.

Recovery begins when Obama loses his.

That appears to be the case and will be the consensus in another month or two. Folks will vote on their checkbook balances and not on anyone’s rhetoric next time. The BS stops when it gets tougher to make ends meet.

Just recall that old quote: It is a recession when your neighbor loses his/her job. It is a depression when you lose yours.

Recovery begins when Obama loses his.

At the current rate there will be a lot of chickens coming home to roost for better than one in ten working folks. It is now on Obama’s watch.

It’s only just started.

If they want to fine me or prosecute me in some fashion for not answering their stupid-ass cultural questions, go for it.

Nah. Just make stuff up if it bugs you. Census takers routinely make stuff up rather than go into scary inner-city neighborhoods and knock on doors.
