Democrats versus Republicans

[southernwind]

the winds of change are great. Its sad when the national budget is more of a Christmas list in the worst financial times since Carter. But whats really sad is people are letting them get away with it I have already called ever politician in the state telling them my thoughts.

Half a mil of that is to refurbish the offices of congress, ain't that great.

Some farmer in Iowa is getting a million to figure out pig crap stinks, boy that's gonna put a lot of people to work.

With all the fake furor over Limbaugh wanting Obama to fail, no one seems to realize that Obama wants America to fail .... policywise. It's only through the failure of the capitalist based system that grew the country that he can implement his more government-centric policies.

Don't just react to that, think about it. What he is proposing is a turn from a personal responsibility to one of government responsibility. Healthcare? No problem, we've got you covered. College? No problem, we've got you covered. Wall St greed? No problem, we've got you covered. Employment? No problem, we've got you covered. And on, and on it goes to the ultimate end, equality of outcome. Your neighbor has more than you? No problem, we'll take it away from them.

Take a look at his "mortgage relief" plan. With cramdowns, people who bought more house than they could afford will now, not only be able to lower their payment, but have the cost of the house lowered to do so. Think about that. It's like, you bought a $20k Ford, because that's what you could afford. Your neighbor bought a $40k Lexus, because that's what he wanted, but couldn't afford. A judge now says, he only has to pay $20k for it, so he won't "lose" it. You were responsible, your neighbor wasn't. He gets what he "wants", you get what you can afford. (I used cars because it's an easier analogy to visualze.)

Welcome to Obamanation. Funny how that sounds like a similar word

how petty is it for the leader of a free nation to be worried about what one man said. Seems kind small to me, but then it does hide the fact that he is shoving national health care back in front of congress. Its all smoke and mirrors the same way he ran his campaign. Does it really matter what was said if it is a smoke screen?

It's somewhat humorous to watch as the "centerists" begin to realize that, "hey, I guess there really was a reason Obama was named the most liberal Senator". What's even funnier, is trying to figure out just how they thought a very liberal Congress would possibly moderate Obama's prediliction to big government. It's kinda like expecting your drug dealer to put you in rehab.

Perhaps the funniest part of the whole thing is, these people think they are smart, insightful and well-versed in the ways of Washington. Evidently, someone forgot to tell them they weren't in Kansas anymore. One can almost hear in the background .... "if I only had a brain".

As Hillarious brings her world tour de farce to a close, we begin to see the form of a new foreign policy take shape. Be nice to those governments that want to see the US fall, and snub those who have stood beside us. Evidently, Bambi thinks foreign policy is just American Idol on a bigger stage. He somehow equates being "liked", with being respected. That, if only we show that we can grovel before those who seek the demise of our country, they will somehow see the error of their ways. That a well manicured, limp wristed hand inside the velvet glove will magically change the world. One thing you have to give him is his audacity in believing that just because he's the one doing things that have never worked before, they will work when he does them. Unfortunately, it will probably unnecessarily cost American lives to bring him down to earth.

here are some facts that blow my mind.....

1. The government SCREWS UP EVERYTHING it touches.

(unless you think that medicaid, Social security, taxes, welfare are overrunning successes)

2. The Democrats keep looking to the goverment to fix EVERYTHING.

When they create and run one thing, without screwing it up beyond repair or actually repair a program without making it more bloated with more unneeded bureaucracy.

asking them to fix the economy is like asking financial advice from a crackhead.

Daily, it seems that the Obamatuer finds time to work on things of the future, but has no time for the present. After weeks of telling us what a state of crisis we are in, his actions have only made it go from bad to worse.

One would think, that this "crisis" which he claims could lead to catastrophe would be his utmost priority. He finds time to work out a 10 year budget plan, a "stimulus" that only stimulates his political agenda and various "feel good" executive orders, yet all we get on the CURRENT situation is, "We're working on it".

Some differences between liberal and conservative policy.

Liberalism breeds dependancy, while conservatism breeds self-responsibility.

Liberalism seeks to protect us from ourselves, while conservatism seeks to protect us from our enemies.

Liberalism seeks equality of outcomes, while conservatism seeks equality of opportunity.

Liberalism tends to bring everyone down to the same level, while conservatism seeks to raise all to the same level.

Liberalism relies on instilled intelligence, while conservatism relies on inherent intelligence.

Liberalism seeks solution by ideals, while conservatism seeks ideals by solution.

These are not absolute qualities, simply the logical progression of the two philosophies. They can't be absolute, because conservatives allow for human behavior, while liberals do not.

Liberalism relies on instilled intelligence, while conservatism relies on inherent intelligence.

I didn't understand that one.
