Ed Schultz’s Anti-Gun Argument: People Who Wrote the Second Amendment ‘Owned Slaves, Oppressed Women & Were Short on Tolerance’
December 16, 2012 at 8:18am
They conveniently forget, the opression came from the government, the British. The second amendment was put in place to ensure the government never oppressed again. It clearly makes sense why this government wants to “oppress”, I mean control guns…
Clinton Blasts Anti-Islam Vid Blamed for Mideast Unrest: ‘Disgusting and Reprehensible’
September 13, 2012 at 2:13pm
They put 1 (one) movie out attacking the Islam faith and it’s “Disgusting and Reprehensible”?? What about all the movies attacking Christianity? Attacking Mormon’s? Attacking Jews? This world is definitely out of whack and the Muslim extremists know it, too bad we aren’t smart enough to see it….
‘Little Blue Book’ Author May Have Come Up With Idea Behind ‘You Didn’t Build That’
July 28, 2012 at 10:40am
So, let me get this straight. If I didn’t build it and the government and every other taxpayer did, then why am I still paying my taxes?? I mean, if they paid for it and built it, isn’t it theirs? I am so confused, I was so sure I was the one that completely depleted my savings and retirement, took out a six figure operating loan just to pay payroll, worked 20 hours a day, went on numerous medicines to fight off heart issues and stress, missed my family, and owed nearly every friend and family member I knew, but I didn’t build it. Wow, no wonder progressives need so many psychiatrists…
And on another note, if I as a so-called middle class “employee” started my own business, but I HAVE been paying a higher level of taxes than the majority of Americans before starting the business, do I owe less than the Americans that have not been paying taxes (the 50%ers), but started their own company? I mean, it only seems fair, well at least according to the logic we are being fed. Also, if I didn’t build it, the failure belongs to everyone else, right? I mean, that only seems logical. I can’t be held accountable for something everyone else built. That makes me feel so much better, I’m going to go out and build a whole bunch of other businesses for you guys since you want in on it whether it fails or succeeds, right? Right? Helloooo…
