– President Barack Obama hailed Wednesday's one-year-old economic stimulus law as an accomplishment that staved off another Great Depression and kept up to 2 million people on the job
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I laughed so hard, I think I just peed myself.

Infuriating.
Then I turn on Foxnews a few minutes ago to listen to Glenn Beck say that I should stock my fruit cellar.
Both sides speak in hyperbole. That's the biggest issue we have in America.

And the huddled masses don't understand the hyperbole for what it is. They believe it all, without differentiation or the proverbial grain of salt.

Obama IS a joke

Glenn Beck has quickly worn out his welcome with me. His type of fear-mongering is not helping anyone but the Fringe conspiracy groups (and their front companies) hawking their wares of 10 lb. rice bags, seed vaults, and MREs. Of course, it's good to be prepared...but for the apocalypse?

I like the nerve of this arrogant son of a bitch to go on with the following comments conveniently forgetting that the evil Bush Administration set this into motion before leaving (not that I agreed with Bush in this regard):
...
To his Republican critics, who say the bill was a costly, debt-financed blunder that has not delivered on the promise of job creation, Obama challenged them to take up the case with people who have stayed employed or have found help solely because he and the Democratic-run Congress acted.
...
And Obama made sure to commend himself and his own team for taking action.
...
But he sought to remind people that the goal of law was never to restore every job. The government can build confidence and demand and rescue people in hard times during a severe economic slide, Obama said, but it will always be businesses of the private sector that ultimately generate jobs and a recovery.
What? Private Sector? Businesses?
Who is this socialist kidding?

Beck is ok. You just actually have to take HIM with a grain of salt. He is Mormon so a lot of his religious views flow into his beliefs on the air. The thing about Beck, is he has always been thought of as 'crazy' but I have yet to see him say anything 'crazy' that didn't happen later - much like Ron Paul. Sometimes the truth or the prospect of the truth hurts and Beck just tells folks the truth in a very blunt manner that sometimes is shocking. This is why I love Rush - he just tells the unrefined TRUTH and some people cannot stand it because the truth - as the saying goes - hurts.
On Obama: Just another hypothetical scare tactic. Like FDR in the 30's, the economy would have been better if it had not even been touched. These policies will actually prolong it. True story. And he is building a debt we will not ever be able to get out of. No one is addressing that fact.

The Wall Street Journal is:
When the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, the debt held by the public was 36.2% of GDP. It rose to 40.2% the next year. This year it will be about 63.6%, next year 68.6%, then 77% of GDP in 2020. And the Obama administration's budget estimates 218% in 2050.
The deficit in 2007 was $160 billion. In the next year the Pelosi-Reid Congress took it up to $458 billion, and when President Obama came into office in 2009 it hit $1.4 trillion. The current 2010 projected deficit is $1.6 trillion, which will lead to a tripling of our national debt from 2008 to 2020.

I don't know. If I believe the Kenyan Jesus and he is wrong, I am screwed. If I believe Beck and he is wrong, I got a lot of extra fruit. Which is worse?

The Wall Street Journal last week that President Obama will have added more debt in his first two years in office than George W. Bush did in eight years. In his first 15 months, Mr. Obama will have raised the debt burden as a percentage of GDP by more than President Reagan did in all of his eight years.
The Washington Post's Robert Samuelson calculated that to fund all the future deficit expenditures would require taxes to increase "by roughly 50 percent from the average 1970-2009 tax burden." A 50% tax increase would become a permanent part of a declining America, just as such tax increases have become a permanent part of declining European countries.
All of this means we are indeed beginning to see a new America, dusk rather than dawn, Europeanization rather than the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that has brought us the world's best economy and a standard of living for which the rest of the world strives.
The fact is, we have elected someone that is not an American. I don't mean he wasn't born here (even if that happens to be true). I don't care if he was born in Washington DC, grew up on Pennsylvania Avenue and whistled Yankee Doodle Dandy every day of his life. He is NOT an American when it comes to who we are, how we are different, and what made us who we are. He is so out of touch with America is unbelievable that he is our president.
It's Boston College hiring Pat Dye as head coach. Or Auburn hiring Charlie Weiss. He may be the perfect fit as leader of some nation somewhere on earth, but it's not these United States.

Whether the liberals/democrats like it or not - Its's a fact that the way the founding documents and the constitution are written falls exactly in line with TRUE Republican/Conservative Values (Reagan, Goldwater, Palin - even Margaret Thatcher) - Not neocon values (Bush, Dole, McCain, Ford, Nixon, Rockefeller, Cheney, Steele). The problem in this country is that people associate the Republican Party with all the neocons from the past 30-40 years.
Limited Federal Powers - stay the hell out of people's lives!!
No (or at least very limited) Income Taxes
Private Sector Heavy/Capitalism
Strong National Defense
Fiscal Responsibility/Limit Spending
State's Rights
Printing REAL, backed currency.
No Federal Bank/Reserve (which is NOT public by the way)
Most of today's GOP do not adhere to these founding Republican principles but many are coming around.

Not enough answer choices.
If you believe neither and use your own judgment to govern your life, you've made the best choice.
Stick them apples in your damn fruit cellar, mormon.
