Lost his balance goose steppin over his own turds.
These peoples consciences are seared by their own degeneracy and they will reap what they've sown with the other Pontius Pilates of history.
Goose steppin Durbin lost his balance steppin over his own Dumocrat turds. Nice one Bill K!
Everybody's talking about taxes, budgets and expenditures avoiding the real issue: structural economic changes that have flattened incomes for most people not hooked into wall street investment or overseas development. The facts are both parties sold american workers down the river in an attempt to get business to cast it's lot with big government, without negotiating properly the drastic impacts on american workers. Now they're discovering those two earner families don't want their hard earned money thrown into the Washington D.C. cesspool to benefit even further professional con-artist politicians and their cronies and bureaucratic sycophants who's only purpose is to use the federal, and state budgets as political slush funds for their re-elections. You can believe the appetite for taxes in Washington is insatiable, irregardless of income.
Repubs should insist on structural reductions in the size of government : departments closed, consolidated, subsumed into other departments; a balanced budget amendment that can be overridden by 3/4 vote of both houses in times of trouble; a line item veto for the president; a reform in the tax code leading to a serious reduction in the size, scope, and power of the IRS. (We also need term limits.) We are living under a government orchestrated by professional con-men (politicians) who have given us, over the past fifty years a, a parasitic government that exists to further the ambitions of professional politicians, their cronies, and professional bureaucrats- at an all consuming cost to citizens, their labor, wealth, and rights. People don't seem to get the fact business produces wealth through creativity, innovation, and hard work; government expropriates wealth through extortion, Ponzi schemes, and threat of force.
At least Gingrich presents a rational for what he thinks should be done unlike the Hollywood wannabes populating most primaries who offer nothing more than cache phrases that've been thoroughly vetted for maximum emotional impact while revealing little or nothing about how to solve real or perceived problems.
Here's what Barry O knows about business: "Hey man, gotta dollar?".
Demagogic in tone and spirit. Condescending as usual. Instead of asking the Chamber of Commerce what to do and how best the government can remove roadblocks to expansion Obama dictates how a multiplicity of overpaid union workers will build the yellow brick road to the future OZ. Obama's message is clear- "Let me and my union pals ride in your banana cart where we can eat for free and we won't rob you down the road." He doesn't even touch the rigged thieving trade scheme China practices that drains jobs and investment from the U.S. We know better, Great and Powerful OZ: OZ is a technocratic theftocracy headed by a leftist autocratic "wiz" kid. No thanks!
Politics as sport. We're all back seat Monday morning quarterbacks pontificating about how easy it is to bring democracies out of anarchy or dictatorship. Even a basic gaming of the formation of any third world or emerging nations democratic governance presents countless possibilities for events to go sideways given the aspirations, intelligence, culture, moral foundations, history, pragmatic practices, institutions, education and experiences of the people of a country. It's all the more reason to thank God all the components requisite for a functioning, practical, self-correcting democracy were present in the colonies leading up to 1776 and the authorship of the most brilliant document on democracy the world has ever witnessed- the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States of America. We may make mistakes but thank God Almighty we've been given the means and opportunities to correct them and resolve our differences in a peacefully meaningful way that allows for continued improvements (as long as greedy self serving politicians don't gum up the works).
