The problem is getting the leftists to understand the Democrats are not the party of the poor. They are deep into crony Capitalism. Obama just proposed a fanciful budjget that only calls for debt to exceed 107% of GDP and these "walking organ donors" think that is ok......<br /><br />Solving the budget problem is easy first your start with ending base line budgetting which I believe already passed the House. Good Luck getting past Harry "voter fraud got me elected" Reid and the Communist Party.

So, bearing in mind that all of us are mortal, he's had a good long run -- especially for a MAN. <br /><br />Women usually live longer lives, and in many ways have proved themselves to be the stronger sex.<br /><br />My two grandpas were the exceptions that proved the rule. Both smoked and drank, albeit moderately. Neither had the "benefit" of all the medical knowledge that's come in since the fifties, and both lived to age 90. On the other hand both my grandmas died at 63.<br /><br />Their lives were far less complicated than ours but maybe more fulfilling. They were never influenced by Freud and the doctrines of Self-Help, Self-Actualization and Self Fulfillment.<br /><br />And they had the good sense, despite having had little formal education, to DESPISE Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The NEW DEAL.<br /><br />By the way way, both sets of grandparents came from very different ethnic backgrounds and didn't like each other very much.<br /><br />~ FT<br /><br />PS: The verification word is MATURIN.

Upward mobility has become a thing of the past. The death of the middle class is closing in on us.<br /><br />My generation and the next are the last to enjoy the best that America has offered: "gone and ain't comin' back" (Bruce Springsteen in "My Hometown"). That song was written in the 1980s, and we are now reaping the terrible GDP consequences of outsourcing our manufacturing.<br /><br />Greed for money and greed for power (the push for oligarchy) have ever been part of human history. But now those forces really are in control.<br /><br />Who on that Circular Firing Squad, the GOP field of candidates for 2012, has the least understanding of the struggles of the middle class or of the lower class? They sit up there in their ivory towers and don't have a clue as to what's going on here on the ground. <br /><br />These candidates actually believe that there is a safety net.<br /><br />Meanwhile, people who have worked all their lives are going belly up. I'm not only referring to the unemployed. <br /><br />We peons are just theory to them -- not citizens, not people. <br /><br />The same goes for the Democrats in power.<br /><br />I read this morning that Obama's budget increases both taxes and the deficit. Down, down, down our ailing economy continues to spin.<br /><br />I'm glad that I'm as old as I am. I won't live to see the worst of what's going to happen. If I can keep from living and dying under the bridge, I'll be content.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-7625070911104835762012-02-13T04:24:19.550-06:002012-02-13T04:24:19.550-06:00BZ,

Unfortunately, the leftist elements, who respect nothing and will stop at nothing to gain leverage, have muscled in -- hijacked, if you will -- what-might-have-been a good thing, and have succeeded as they always seem to do in giving it a vile image and a bad name.<br /><br />It isn't that "Wall Street" is so pure, noble, high-minded and altruistic that it should be held immune from criticism or protest, but rather that these PARTICULAR protestors are illegitimate. <br /><br />I do NOT think they represent ALL of those behind OWS by a long shot anymore than a stupid, drunken Irishman, a lazy, shiftless Negro, a crafty, money-grubbing Jew -- or a snooty, unfeeling, uncharitable WASP should be said to represent EVERYONE in his particular ethnic group.<br /><br />This eagerness to CONDEMN and VILIFY instead of wanting to find the truth behind superficial appearances is the key to what's destroying our country and all of Western Civilization.<br /><br />The internecine warfare going on right now among Republicans == what AOW wittily calls their "Circular Firing Squad" approach to debate -- is a great case in point.<br /><br />It's time to STOP TEARING <i>EVERYTHING</i> DOWN.<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-60155728991082119302012-02-12T14:22:44.805-06:002012-02-12T14:22:44.805-06:00Brietbart said it best, freaks.
