Do you remember under "W" when we had an actual 3% unemployment rate (and I got lots of work just from the phone ringing) and American Pravda screamed and yelled about a recession?
Now, can anyone say "Depression". This is as bad as it was in the 30's and 40", only no soup lines. We call soup lines "Food Stamps" now.
And American Pravda covers for these liars! And they gave up their role voluntarily! No one stuck a funnel in their ass and threatened to pour molten lead down it as the Soviet Socialist monsters did to the Russian Patriarch!
Being that you come from other parts of the world, I wonder if you realize that what we Americans call "Conservative" is what the rest of the world calls "Liberal", or more specifically "Jeffersonian Liberal".
What we call "Liberal", the rest of the world calls "Socialist" (in England they are called "Labor").
Part of the battle is controlling the language. Our socialists decided they like the term Liberal better than socialist, so they stole it.
By the way, your "sound" exactly like our socialists. Stormin' is not an extremist. He is pretty much main stream. It is all about trying to control the language.
Do you hail from Mexico? If so, which part?
Of the Americans I know from Mexico (they are part of our family now and you can't have them back), they are some of the sweetest, nicest people to walk the face of this earth. (The ones that break our laws and sneak in the back door rather than knocking on the front door, you can have back.)
I started my self employ business under Reagan's admin. I had a lot of work, I hired help, and life was good. It's been down hill from there. And at present, it's the worst it's been. I work alone, I'm in endless stifling debt, and I can't hardly afford to pay minimums on credit card debt because there is no work to be had.
Do you honestly think that was the point he was trying to make?
He was making a case for clipping an overreaching government. You know, like one that doesn't fine a contractor for not having an MSDS on file for some sun screen an employee brings to a job site, which actually happened to one of my customers. By the way, that same customer use to spend 1/2 a day on government paperwork before starting a job. Now he has to spend five days. And there has been no change in the environment for all that extra job killing paperwork. Sunscreen a dangerous toxic chemical to the environment? This is overreach.
Here is the point Stormin was trying to make:
Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil. We have it in our power to begin the world over again.
Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher.
That would be Thomas Paine and Common Sense (1776). His writing is why a higher percentage of our population lost their lives fighting that war than any other war in our history. His words ring true now as much as they did then.
It's interesting how libs brains work. I was watching Kristin Powers on Fox. She's usually not the most extreme lib and is even rational many times. Yet on the issue of the kids coming across the border, her position is that they are kids, we just need to accept them, and anyone who doesn't agree is heartless. On the other hand, I and I think all conservatives, immediately think about the consequences of this. If we're to accept all children from Central America, because it's not a great place to live, then why shouldn't we accept children from anywhere? How about George Soros or similar, charters some 747's and starts hauling kids from Sudan? How about war torn Syria? How about Nigeria, where Boku Haram kidnapped hundreds of girls and regulalry commits massacres? THAT has to be way worse than Honduras. So, being rational, I ask the obvious question. If it's OK for women and kids from Central America to pour in here, why should we treat a 747 landing at JFK any different? Simple answer is that they have no answer.
Why is it that libs are irrational? Or is it that they are rational, know what they are doing, and are just liars?
