a solitary Republican — Joe Cao, who replaced “Dollar Bill” Jefferson in a blue district in Louisiana — voting yes

Another wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Certain people just don’t want to contribute to society any longer! If a plane crashed on an island and it was 200 conservatives and 200 liberals, who do you think would survive? They would be busy mulling around setting up an obtuse government with ZERO workers, while we would be busy

Nah- they wouldn’t be setting up a government. At first, they’d be content to lie about and live off of the work of the workers. Eventually, they’d move to organize a “fair” form of distribution, but their first impulse would be laziness.

I actually think a reality show like this would be very interesting.

A reality show like this would be fantastic. They would have to let us build a fence to keep the Leeches off of our land.

Liberals are effectively useless without us, they are the remoras of society, a lesser class that feeds off of the scraps of the sharks.

Maybe you’re onto something…pool our funds, buy our own island and control very strictly who can become a citizen? Worth a thought at least.

I know how you feel. I have a disabled friend who is barely getting by NOW and will be left to die should this nonsense be passed. He won’t even be able to wield a firearm in his own defense, should it come to that.

I see first hand every day what kind of job the government schools have done. I’ve been ripped off.

I have nothing but the highest praise for my community college…but the public K-12 system as a whole…calling it a total waste of money would be a tremendous understatement.

No exaggeration, no “fuzzy math”; for the cost of medical equipment, diagnostics, and mediations that require me to live day to day, month to month, year to year, that cost will be deemed too high. My insulin will be cut in third. The next major illness I receive, God forbid, I will need to wait weeks to months to see a doctor…which is a literal death sentence. And if my amount of medications I need increases–again–my doctors will need to deal with weeks and weeks of redtape (rather than faxing in a simple prescription into my insurance company).

So, again, for those who weep for those who supposedly cannot pay for their medical care, I want to thank you for killing those same people, and many more, like me. You’ve just made a bad problem much, much worse.

Yes you will, for someone else.

I don’t have any children, but I’ve been paying taxes, high taxes, all my life, and will pay the rest of my life, to educate someone else’ kid.

The majority of those are state and local taxes….primarily property taxes. Very little are Federal taxes. So, again, the analogy is flawed.

And the point could be made that society benefits from having public schools. A least moreso than forcing citizens to buy health insurance they may not want.

Exactly.

I can always get liberals to admit its going to be more costly and the results might not be as good as a private entity handling almost any issue, but they are always willing to give it up to the govt as the idea that private industry is out to hold down or harm the little guy and that phiolosphy runs real deep.

Ironically, cap and trade and universal healthcare will do more to hold down and harm the little guy than most likely everything corporations have done since the existence of the U.S.

Imagine the best armed flock of sheep in the history of the world, yet still being herded by the few, off to slaughter.

But for how long? Every time the dhimmicRATS do something stupidly I clean my guns and count my ammo.

I have very clean weapons.

Nor to I have to pay to go to school for the rest of my life.

however I don’t think they know the word responsibility…

probably right

Animator Girl on November 8, 2009 at 8:15 PM

understand that not all of you did, I know there are some good young folks out there fighting the good fight…that’s why I say ‘part of me’, those that did vote for him should bare some responsibility for their vote, however I don’t think they know the word responsibility…

I suggest “The Reagan’s Diaries”, and “Reagan’s Secret War”

Fed45 on November 8, 2009 at 7:31 PM

Thanks. :)

part of me feels that they (18-25yo) are going to have to reap what they sowed by voting for this is maroon in Nov …

Yes, but remember, not all of us did. And for the ones who did…. well, you really don’t want to hear my rant about most of my friends’ parents, and how the Boomers well-intentioned spoiling and sheltering of their children has made my generation into the clueless monster that it often is. You really don’t – it would piss off a lot of nice parents on here.

Obama is the living embodiment and result of decades of spoiled children.

I feel sorry for those who are under the age of 25, they’re going to be paying for this for the rest of their lives.

There is no line in the sand that we won’t back away from. The beach is full of lines in the sand that have been abandoned, thus the creep of statism and the erosion of liberty continues unabated.

Everybody BUY another box of ammo if sitting on a case of lead and brass makes you sleep better at night.

Doesn’t stop the DOERS from doing those things that make you buy more ammo, does it?

Dude, I’ve read every post on this thread and I find this one the most disturbing. Not because I think you’re some finger pointing wack-job, but because I agree with you.

Still, ya never know, so I’ll continue adding to the guns and ammo cache just in case the house does comes crashing down.
