  1. There is no right or wrong way to resist government: there is only punishment for those who can not publicly embarass the institution.
  2. Ohh... as addendum to the previous post? What do all those American workers do at those factories? A lot and I mean a lot more than the average union worker in Detroit.
  3. My Toyota Tundra was built in Princeton, Indiana by non-union workers under the guidance of lean manufacturing philosophy.
  4. Last night, during my Braves broadcast, I saw a KIA commercial spewing on about "everyone has a right to drive a new car". "Right to drive a new car". Hahaha.... that's rich. I'd get a horse and buggy before driving a KIA.
  5. How many times is Obama going to get away with his "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan," It simply isn't true. Either the President knows it's not true, which would make him a liar; or he doesn't know it's not true, which would make him ignorant. Got to be one or the other.
  6. Why are you asking Jesus to keep up the stupidity?
  7. One time, I bit the head off a cow. Milk shot out from its neck.
  8. Don't smile at me. I'm not the one who will be carrying souls to heaven come Revelations.
  9. And God, in all his splendor and candor, loves you, TJ. Smile.
  10. The First Amendment defends socialists, much to my detriment, too. And God loves socialists as much as he loves his capitalists, communists, et. al. Or.... so I am told.
  11. I once mixed newborn puppy meat with newborn kitten meat and got so incredibly sick to my stomach!
  12. Supporting the First Amendment does not make Hugo a socialist, TJ.
  13. I think Milton Friedman could talk a cop into arresting himself.
  14. I read a report yesterday where a young woman, around 21 years of age, was caught near a wildfire. She said that the fire got so close to her that it singed the hair on legs.
  15. "Lawdee! Lawdee! All 'dis politickin' is hard work!"
  16. It is illegal for a private citizen to operate a Ponzi scheme, but for the government it is perfectly OK!
  17. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LcYZxGdY8U]YouTube - I WANT YOUR CLUNK - THE CASH FOR CLUNKERS EXTRAVAGANZA!!![/ame]
  18. Those who drive the clunkers, for the most part, are those who cannot afford to drive a newer car. Who is going to take the loss when the payments on these new cars are not made in the coming months? Dealers or taxpayers? Folks, the party hasn't even started yet.
  19. I'm not worried. Fantasy Football is a crap shoot every single season. We started in 1996 with only eight teams. For a span of five years, we had sixteen teams with four divisions (North, South, Central, and East). Now we are fourteen with four divisions (Four, four, three, and three). Best of luck. Maybe we can get an FFB league going here... again?
  20. As I have said, to ad nauseum, cash for clunkers is the latest example of the inability of the government to run anything effieciently. Do any of you remember a couple years back when the government decided that everyone leaving the country would need a passport? The group of people that this hit was mostly people going on cruises, where before your driver's license was good enough to get on and off of the cruise ship. Well the government steps in with this new requirement for a passport, but neglects to add any new workers to handle the increase in passport requests. This of course created a huge back log! People, in haste to get their passport due to impending vacation plans, had to start calling their representative to hurry things along. So they, the government, decided to extend the date another year so they could catch up. That was during Bush; cash for clunkers during Obama, so it should be quite obvious that it doesn't matter which group is in charge the government is just not good at managing much of anything.
  21. Unfortunately for Barack Obama and the Democrats, it has left a pretty bad taste in people's mouths. This coincides with a debate over government running our healthcare system. Maybe the administration should have thought about the implications of this program not being a boondoggle, considering its push to run healthcare. Here are just a few of the problems with the cash for clunkers: --Congress--relying on auto industry forecasts that the program wouldn't have a major effect on moribund sales--deeply underestimated how many people would be lured to dealerships by rebates of up to $4,500. Initially, lawmakers committed just $1 billion, an amount that was burned through in just a few weeks. --Transportation Department officials, presented with just 30 days to get the program up and running, didn't set aside enough staff or resources and were overwhelmed by the heavy response from consumers. Systems set up to handle and reimburse dealer claims were swamped. --Government rules to prevent fraud created paperwork requirements that many dealers didn't fully understand. --Hungry for sales, dealers made Cash for Clunkers deals weeks in advance even though they were advised against it. This created a big backlog the moment the program officially began. And many are still filing bad paperwork that is holding up their claims, despite repeated government attempts to clear up the confusion. Long story short? The government was ill-prepared and it has little incentive to achieve anything in a timely manner. Take New Mexico, for example. The federal government owes dealers around the state more than $3.6 million. Guess how much it has actually paid? The federal government has only sent three checks totally $14,000. Who knows when or if those dealers will get the money. Yeah ... and you trust these people to manage your health care
  22. We shall see! I have last pick at the first round and first pick in the second round of my fantasy league draft. With thirteen teams in front of me, I know that all the good RBs and WRs will be spoken for. So... I am looking at sleepers.
  23. If anyone was to assassinate Obama, it would be the extreme leftists who believe that his first 100 days should reflect more radical and expedient moves to sieze power.
  24. I don't know how true that statement is, or if it can be validated with comments out of context, but he is definitely a race pimp. See below... TJ, honestly, I wish more people read books instead of Twitter or Facebook bullsh!t.
  25. Ohhh fukken aye, man. You have to see that I was playing devil's advocate when I snuffed out the only truths in Contessa's little report. That guy is black... I will confirm my sources and get back to you. I swear he's black. EDIT @ 12:35 PM EST: PROTESTER BUSTS OUT THE BIG GUN FOR OBAMA RALLY - The man strapped with the AR-15 is black or at least representative of a mixed union.
