Conservative Thread: U.S. Steele - Back In Business

[TLSnell1981]

I wish I could be as optimistic, Mr. Man. Unfortunately, with Soros' program to buy all the Secretary of State positions in all the swing states, the votes by imaginary people that always seem to vote straight party Dem, and the soon-to-be guesstimate of the Census for cities, I think there will only be one party.

I agree, I wish I could be optimistic too....but, I'm not. I also believe we're heading towards a single party system. You forgot about amnesty for illegals. Once Obama does that and give them the vote...It's all over.

Look at it like this. Even the most die-hard OS aren't exactly celebrating this whole stimulus debacle. In fact, their defense of it has been pretty weak. For good reason. It is indefensible. It is an overreach of historic proportions that is going to negatively color anything else they try to do over the next two years.

This stimulus bill is owned by the Democrats and it is going to fail spectacularly!

The stimulus is not going to help market confidence. It is not going to help regain consumer confidence. It cannot help but fail because it is a punitive pile of partisan excess (which we now refer to as a "steaming pile of Schumer") or Hope and Change.

Heck, if you really want to know what the market thinks about the current administration's approach to the economy just watch Geithner. All Geithner has to do is "test his microphone" and the market drops points like President Obama drops friends with "issues". Not to mention, Dow Jones has dropped 2000 points since election day (that's like half a bazillion in Pelosi speak).

Just wait until taxes go up, inflation goes up, unemployment goes up and the Baby Boomers figure out that they can't retire, and the Chinese call in their "chit" causing our bond market to collapse (a la Argentina). There will be a lot of mighty uncomfortable Democrats in D.C. as the "chattering class" stops chattering and starts acting.

The Obama worshipers may not be happy...but, NOTHING will change their liberal views. They will find some way to make this Bush's fault.

They don't care that this administration is anti-business and anti-Wall St. They think that's a good thing.

Judd Gregg just came home. Between the census-fraud and the pork, he said it was irreconcilable differences that would not make a good fit!

This is a bright moment in my day.

Has anyone else noticed that when Bush was in office the libs had the bar set at one level, and now it's been considerably lowered for Obama?? As long as the guy doesn't get us into WWIII they'll consider him a success.

Well, you know, Sherry, that "the Lord" moves in strange ways...

 

[ADAMS4]

Hi ADAMS4. I just noticed you are new to the thread. Welcome!!

This thread moves so fast, I cannot keep up anymore. Usually, I just holler a bit about current events and then move on with my day.

These are interesting times.


OT I just upgraded to a new Blackberry (a neato touchscreen type). It has facebook pre-installed. I will have to check it out.

Hey! Thanks. This board does move fast. I've been reading it for a bit now. Just finally started posting the other night.

We do move pretty fast. You know, we are part of that "chattering class".

I just love Obama, I just wanna give him a bit ol' fat hug.

DebbieandRoo - I wish I were as optimistic as Rush. Thing is, there aren't any charismatic leaders out there in the Republican party. The youth of our nation HATE Republicans. As long as liberals have control of our media and our colleges and universities, we'll have a very tall mountain to climb.

I fear a one party system too.

tsk, tsk...not all youth! Reference my siggy

But I know what you mean. I look at it this way, the media and schools have always had lib control, and yet we're still here.

But I am afraid how much damage a dictatorship like LTEC Hussein's could cause.

I'm hoping Mr. Man is correct and we can recover.

Yup, that and kids like Soarin' and the other girl we have here.

 

[TLSnell1981]

I'm surprised. I thought there would be a thread on the "Obama" girls...the offspring and their $1 a week allowance. I mean, is anyone surprised? Of course, they don't need to know how to manage money. Mom and Dad are teaching them.... The GOVERNMENT does for them.

I'm young and a conservative. I've been one since I was 12 and first started listening to Rush.

Me too, though I don't bother trying to keep up with this thread.

However, I do fraternize with the enemy on occasion, so I may not count.

While I think there is a very large liberal youth, I think most people would be surprised when they moved closer to the mid-west. I went to school in Indiana and I was considered liberal. So you know, all hope is not lost.

Hmmm... that's not what I hear the lib's crying out. Both them and Michelle Obama have a tendency to whine that the bar keeps getting lifted just for her husband.

I tend to agree with you. Not them.

This is a bright moment in my day.

They won’t think that it’s a good thing when their lifestyle has to drastically change because they won’t have the money to afford it.

A guy that I know of moved here from France (married an American) and is much happier that he’s living here now. Why? Because he no longer has to give 40% of his paycheck to the government.

American’s are spoiled. Middle Class is “rich”. Everyone will have to learn to do without a lot that they take for granted when Uncle Sam begins demanding that they hand over their paycheck.

tsk, tsk...not all youth! Reference my siggy

Darn. Can't see your siggy on my work computer; the server is set to block out a lot. Although it was nice during the election when we'd have drive-by's from the OS. I usually couldn't see their Obama pic's in their sigs.


Well, I had this link saved for another story - but this one looks good also:

Report: Congress Getting a Late Start on Reading “Stimulus” Text Because Democratic Leaders Gave K Street the Only Copies

"We’re receiving E-mails from Capitol Hill staffers expressing frustration that they can’t get a copy of the stimulus bill agreed to last night at a price of $789 billion. What’s more, staffers are complaining about who does have a copy: K Street lobbyists.

E-mails one key Democratic staffer: “K Street has the bill, or chunks of it, already, and the congressional offices don’t. So, the Hill is getting calls from the press (because it’s leaking out) asking us to confirm or talk about what we know—but we can’t do that because we haven’t seen the bill. Anyway, peeps up here are sort of a combo of confused and like, ‘Is this really happening?’”

Reporters pressing for details, meanwhile, are getting different numbers from different offices, especially when seeking the details of specific programs."

Well, it’s a good thing Lobbyists have no place in President Obama’s administration, nor are they getting first access — even before Congress — to the legislation he is demanding be passed without being read so he can sign another $800 billion in debt into law at his earliest convenience.

Except that they are — but pay no attention to the goings-on behind the curtain. Only listen to the mantra of Hope and Change, and for goodness’ sake don’t look too hard at anything or ask any questions.

Then there is this story:

You only get to see the bill if you want to vote for it

"Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., complained this morning on the House floor that lawmakers were being asked to vote, sight unseen, on “the largest single bill in the history of Congress.” Some Democratic lawmakers fired back that Republicans didn’t need to see the bill anyway, since none of them voted for the stimulus when it moved through the House the first time and would probably stand in opposition."

Then you gotta love this:

Democrats Break Unanimously-Approved 48 Hour Review Rule, Allow One Night to Read 1,434-page “Stimulus” Before Vote

"The House is scheduled to meet at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and is expected to proceed directly to consideration of the American Recovery and Reinvestment conference report. The conference report text will be filed this evening, giving members enough time to review the conference report before voting on it tomorrow afternoon."

Let’s pretend the conference report is to be distributed right now — 5:30pm EST — to House members (in reality, it likely won’t be until later tonight). That would leave 15 1/2 hours, or 930 minutes, for consideration of the 1,434-page conference report before floor action on the bill commences — one and a half pages a minute from now until the morning, with no stops for any reason whatsoever.

Leave aside, for a moment, the fact that the House — including Hoyer himself — unanimously voted in favor of a 48-hour review period for the porkulus before action was taken on it. Is one night really enough time to read for the first time and consider a bill that would borrow and spend an amount of money that, if it were GDP, would make it the fifteenth largest economy in the world?

Oh, and now I've heard that Rahm Emanuel has a bit of his own tax problems.

Change: I believe it!

Off to the gym. You guys have fun.

 

[onelilspark]

Those articles are ridiculous. I can't believe this stupid bill. All I have to say is I can't wait to spend my $11k and then blame Obama when I spend it poorly and I can't afford my mortgage anymore.

Ooooo can I? Can I?

 

[Tink & Goofy]

Me, too. Been a conservative since I can remember.

Sorry, sax, I forgot about you because you don't post much. Fraternizing is one thing; you still recognize them for what they are, though, so you still count.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

One reason we have lots of young conservatives here, and nationwide, is because that many people young and old recognize that liberalism squashes opposing viewpoints. Ironically, for all the caterwauling from the left, it is conservatism where people are more free to hold and debate varying points of view. Conservatism is the movement of liberty. People don't haveto be told that; they just know it as soon as they start sniffing around politics. We are witnessing liberalism slipping into totalitarianism (or at least socialism) before our very eyes.

Zip..the problem is..too many people don't do enough "sniffing". The Presidency wasn't won on policies and principles. It was bought and paid for. The MSM didn't (and won't) do their job either. They are biased and no longer care about reporting the facts.

Bottomline....you have to have loads of money and be a "rock star" to win a major election.

 

[wonderlanne]

Good morning, my conservative friends! I'm so excited. I just booked my trip for WDW. 8 nights in the Family Suites at All Star Music

The military discount that Disney is offering is so flippin' AWESOME! We couldn't pass it up. 40% off the room, one free 5 day park hopper (with waterpark option), and we can buy up to 5 companion tickets for only $99 each. You can't beat that!

I'm so happy.

congratulations! eight nights, huh? wow...
