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

[debbieandroo]

What an upside down world we're living in -- Putin is warning LTEC not to turn our country into a socialist nation because it didn't work for them...go figure!

Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.

“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”[Snip.]

Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, “Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.”

Putin also echoed the words of conservative maverick Ron Paul when he said, “we must assess the real situation and write off all hopeless debts and ‘bad’ assets. True, this will be an extremely painful and unpleasant process. Far from everyone can accept such measures, fearing for their capitalization, bonuses, or reputation. However, we would ‘conserve’ and prolong the crisis, unless we clean up our balance sheets.”

Wow! Even the Russians and Chinese know what we're doing is horrible. But of course the current administration will turn it around and say we shouldn't listen to them.

I mean why should we learn from history when we could just make the mistakes ourselves. Why save trillions of dollars and the entire foundation this country was built on because we don't want to learn from others mistakes.

Wow, that is quite stunning for them to speak out in such a way.

Chuckle time.

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep, but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting."

Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.

Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my neck." Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"To get my teeth!"

Just popping in to say I just read the Ann Coulter article this week and loved it! Here's an excerpt:

Putting preposterously overrated presidents like John F. Kennedy or FDR in the same category as Reagan or Washington is like a teenage girl ranking the Jonas Brothers with the Rolling Stones and the Beatles as the three greatest bands of all time.

Liberals may call him a "war criminal," but historians have inadvertently paid Bush a great tribute this week by ranking him as a "below average" president. I can only dream that, someday, no-name, left-wing historians will rank me as one of the all-time worst columnists

Whoa! The dems all worship those in foreign countries, now maybe they'll listen to them. Or is it Europe only that they worship? Maybe if some Germans warned them about socialism?

Tea Party poll is up to 94%. And I loved the comments.

I'm glad there's this thread. Some people are morons.

I think the libs like the French more, but I do think they're taking some cues from the Germans....just not the Germany of today

I agree. I was reading the where's my promised tax break earlier. YIKES at some of the ignorance!

Are you having a tough day Onelilspark? Don't let them get to you. Stay here for awhile. Maybe Breezy could whip us up some comfort food.

The libs like the French because they're cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

In fact, here's one of our senators that they adore, holding the Official French flag:

I think I'm just ready to head back to FL.

Note to self: 2 vacations in one month my sound like an excellent idea, but you never fully return to work mode.

I was just amazed at the question on the one thread. Someone asked how wars help the economy. SERIOUSLY. Ugh... My boyfriend has his job because of the war. He'll keep it even if they pull out, but his company will put a freeze on hiring. Yep. Like that helps.

I think I'm just tired of trying to explain things to people that seem like simple concepts to me.

But guess what?! It's Friday!

And where is this money supposed to come from?

they're gonna print it or borrow it. maybe both. either way, we'll experience hyper-inflation.

Well, since they're going to do that, let's print it this way because that'll be about how much it's worth:

Can we at least put disney characters on it? Then I will at least smile a little before I spend my worthless money.

Did ya'll see this little gem?
And I believe Michelle Malkin confirmed that the police officer is the same race as LTEC hussein. So it's politically and racially motivated. Nice.

you'd better believe those secret service idiots would NOT have walked through my house! this isn't allowed in america; i don't care WHO speaks out against that jerk in the white house. we don't live in russia, china, nazi germany

and i do not believe for 1/10th of a second that they misunderstood that sign. they just want to intimidate people out of their criticism. i will plaster everything i own in such ephemera if i so choose, and expect nary a word nor visitor.

(where were the walk-through-your-housers when bill ayers was making bombs?)
