Kyle….Yer doing it wrong
True today, in spades
“We don’t have a trillion dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion dollar debt because we spend too much.
Ronald Reagan, March, 1982
If it wasn’t so cold there….
I’d move to Iceland.
I cannot believe
That the ONE said that we citizens should just shut up and “let the professional politicians handle this” budget crisis.
Actually, I can believe that he said it, I am just surprised that he would let his elitist feelings show in a press conference….
Look, you arrogant bastard: We mere citizens can figure the ins and outs of the budget issues as well as you. We see how well your policies have worked, we see the effect that the deficit is having on our dollar. We understand what the issues are. We see the effects every time we fill up our cars with fuel or go to the grocery store. You are insulated from that. You’ve never worked a day in your life for your own money, and you’ve apparently never had to worry about making a mortgage or car payment, or how you are gonna make the choice between food for your family and paying rent. You’ve never seen the buying power of your hard work evaporate daily.
Shut the fuck up and deal with the issues. It isn’t a revenue issue, but rather a spending issue. You’d like “more programs”. You’d like to target some portions of the citizenry for special treatment. You’d like to have everyone pay their “fair share” (whatever that really means). First stop spending to much.
And yes, I understand that you think that I am stupid, me and my fellow citizens…the great unwashed. Those of us in flyover country who cling bitterly to our guns and religion. But we aren’t as uninformed as you give us credit for. If you can only get 24% of the people to poll in favor of your policies, then it ISN’T a communication issue. We understand what you wish to do. And we reject it.
While I understand that you think that a majority of the taxpayers and voters (not always the same group, but with a lot of overlap) have intelligence and judgement issues (You fooled enough with your “Hope and Change” bullshit after all) to have voted you into office, but really, we aren’t all entirely stupid, and we can(and have) balanced a budget enough to get by in our own lives…..And we can understand the bigger picture enough to know that you are, quite honestly, full of shit in your plan to somehow fix the issues with our economy. And we repudiate you 65-24%.
Update:
Althouse has the text that I couldn’t find earlier…
Poorly sourced….
And for that, I apologize. But internet rumor has it that the ORIGINAL typewritten birth certificate for the ONE has been subpoenaed…by the US District Court in Honolulu….
Interesting, to say the least….
We shall see.
Why they’ll never get ahead…
Dr. Boyce Watkins is a Professor at Syracuse University and founder of the Your Black World Coalition.
And he is an idiot.
Don’t believe me? Read this.
It’s not the black culture (such as it is)…It’s not the lack of fathers….It’s not the fact that a significant percentage of black men have felony records (yeah, all the fault of the white man’s justice system….). It’s not the fault of the welfare mentality which leads to all of the above….
Nah. It is the fault of the white man. Every other race succeeds…every other minority group is able to become a part of the system and succeed. Except the one that everyone makes excuses for.
There are many successful black men and women. I used to work for one. He taught me a lot. In fact, he was an inspiration for me….He accepted NO excuses from anyone. Do the job or get out. If you need help or don’t understand, ask….. But race, gender, orientation, etc had no bearing on how or if you were expected to complete your job…And he felt that those who make excuses because of race or gender or other reasons demeaned that race or gender. Capability and motivation led to success….or failure. Following the rules and not getting arrested helped too.
And he was one of the most capable men I knew. Every person of color I have ever known who was willing to work and not make excuses for his failure to succeed every time, and who has not taken the easy way out has found a significant measure of success.
Dr. Boyce, on the other hand, makes excuses for the failures of his races culture to succeed in the US. Blames it on everyone except those who fail.
And thereby adds to the problem for the next generation.
Guess that this post makes me a racist…
“if you can keep it”
“Well Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” asked Mrs. Powell of Benjamin Franklin. “A Republic,” replied Doctor Franklin, “if you can keep it.”.
I think we have failed to keep it.
If you don’t know where the quote is from, then I feel sorry for you. If you don’t, then you are a part of the problem.
Google it to find the whole story. Or not. Up to you.
Principles
Something to think about.
Worth the (short) read.
Anyone have Wayne LaPierre’s home number?
’cause I’d like to call the SOB and give him a piece of my mind. In fact, I’d like to interrupt his peaceful enjoyment of life on a Saturday…Actually, I’d like to punch him in the nose.
I already am a member (have to be because It Is Required for membership in my local range)….I already donate (for me) significant money to the PAC part of the NRA.
But these stupid fuckers are calling me at home wanting more money. They had my telephone number and my name…. Being a member, they had all the information to give to someone who called me. On a Saturday.
Thereby damaging my serenity and my peaceful enjoyment of life…. I don’t EVER donate money to people who call me on weekends. Ever. I will continue to be a member because I have to…..But the NRA will never see another dime beyond my membership fee. Not one single thin devalued by Obama dime.
Jesus H. Gunwalking Christ….at what point don’t they think that we have donated enough? They are like liberals. Always with their hand out. Always wanting Someone Else’s money….If they need money that badly then they can forgo their nearly daily mailings to my address. That should save about $100 per year in postage and paper….But it’ll make it harder to keep the woodstove lit….
