Rush Limbaugh’s Theory on Why GOP Is Willing to Pass Amnesty and Create Millions of ‘Instant Democrats’

June 15, 2013 at 9:31am

In reply to harleyalien.

@METEORS, Are you Kidding me? The Republicans are only for the rich? WOW!, why are Al Gore, William Jefferson Clinton, Joe Biden, and John Kerry not republicans? Interesting that only Democrats can spend a life in ‘Public Service’ and become Millionaires and Billionaires. I think your political party has you and the rest of the followers fooled. Not only do the Politicians take our money in payment, they also use their positions to steal money using ‘Insider Trading’, and if You or I did that, we would be in prison. They steal retirement from the taxpayers, they steal never-ending benefits from the taxpayer. And you dare say it is the Republicans who are for the rich? I think you need to stop looking at what they say and start looking at what they do. Democratic Politicians say they are for the poor, but only seem to make themselves rich. They say they are for minorities, but live in exclusive neighborhoods. They say they are for Women’s rights, but look who they hang around. Look closely at what they do and tell me if it doesn’t sicken you? I do not know of too many politicians who have not voted themselves raises and additional benefits as well as exemptions from the laws they force us to follow. WAKE UP!
NSA Leaker Comes Forward: ‘I Know I Have Done Nothing Wrong’

I think Snowden is a Liberal. Not a Progressive Liberal, but an old fashion Liberal. Liberals used to believe in the Constitution to a fault. Then sometime in the early 1900′s, Progressives took over and started to corrupt Liberals. Either person should be punished for violating their word. One violated their word to make this country look bad to the rest of the world, the other to show that ‘Big Government’ is taking our rights.

Personal responsibility says both are guilty, but one more guilty than the other. While I am now part of the NSA database for this post, I will stand for the liberty that this country was built, and not the protection that takes my rights away to keep me safe. It is my responsibility to protect my family and to provide for my family. It is not the responsibility of the Government to take care of me from the cradle to the grave.
U.S. to Sign Controversial U.N. Arms Treaty Despite Lawmakers’ Concerns It Could Lead to New Gun Control Measures

In reply to Gremlin1974.

@Meteor, You cannot have it both ways. Either the Constitution applies to everyone (even non citizens ) or it applies to only citizens. Democrats have always held the view that the Rights defined by the Constitution apply to everyone no matter if they are citizens or not. So you cannot say that the 2nd Amendment does not apply to everyone if other parts of the Constitution applies. So either get your philosophy straight or STFU!

The Person who puts their name on this should be immediately arrested for TREASON! Every government official swears to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. This would violate the Constitution.
Cars, People Sent Plunging Into River After Bridge Collapses Near Seattle

In reply to GoodStuff.

I remember when the I-35W Bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, every Democrat took the opportunity to blame the war in Iraq. I remember you could not throw a rock and not hit a Democrat in front of the camera blaming Bush. So who are those Democrats going to blame now? The taxpayers spent 787 Billion dollars for ‘shovel ready’ projects just 5 years ago, and what have we got for it? Solyndra, Tesla, GM, Chrystler, and other failed investments. Yet, I do not recall any project to replace the outdated bridge system, electrical grid, or the Keystone Pipeline. But, we have a bunch of new millionaires who got rich off of the taxpayers.
See Paul Ryan’s Tense Exchange with IRS Head on Why He Withheld Targeting Info in July Despite Knowing About It

As citizens of this country, we should demand the shut down of the IRS! It should be rebuilt from the ground up working from a new set of rules that are ‘black and white’ with no possible gray areas. Then the Tax Law should be re-written so that the average citizen does not have to hire a tax accountant to do their taxes. I feel this is an opportunity to move to a flat tax so that everyone has skin in the game. I feel a 10% tax is fair for everyone to pay.
Was It Against Uniform Protocol for the Marine to Hold Obama’s Umbrella?

May 17, 2013 at 12:19pm

In reply to Noah_fing-whey.

what irritates me about this is that there are people in the White House that monitors weather for these events. Why didn’t they setup a cover for the presser? Or why didn’t they move it inside? This was done on purpose to show the President is in charge of the Military. It is a message to Congress to cease impeachment talks. While the Marine Corp. is considered the Presidents force, they are not servants or wait staff. If you remember, the Clintons used Military personnel as wait staff for a White House party during their Administration. Why is it that when these politicians get this power, they always treat the Military as servants? The Military is for the protection of the Nation, not the politician, maybe we as citizens should start removing some of the ‘perks’ the politicians get at our cost? I am one who will vote for anyone that will start cutting the perks to serve us. In fact, we as citizens should demand that our elected officials should give up limos, free Military rides on aircraft, free parking at the airports, more than two staff members, the ability to give themselves raises, trips abroad at the taxpayer expense, and pay that is more than the average of their constituents. I think that no politician should ever make more than the average of their constituents, and the only way to get a raise is to increase the average income of their constituents. This could work across the board and would eliminate career politicians from elected office.
Donors, Private Citizens Now Take Care of Many of Detroit’s Public Services

Well government built that road, and obviously overpaid for it by quite a bit. Now the good people who are left are having to deal with bad management, poor budget control, and all of the greedy public employees who took the money and ran. I wish that the lame stream media would cover this, but they will not because it makes the Presidents policies look bad.
Can the Government Ban ‘Assault Weapons’? Constitutional Experts Weigh In

In reply to Proverbs17-12NLT.

What angers me about this discussion, everyone looks at the 2nd Amendment, they do not look at the Declaration of Independence which explains why we have the Bill of Rights. It explains the meaning of the 1st and 2nd Amendments. One cannot argue for or against the Bill of Rights without first reading and understanding the Declaration of Independence.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Boston Bombing Suspect Is Not Being Read His Miranda Rights — Why and What Does That Mean?

April 19, 2013 at 11:47pm

In reply to RockyMountainPATRIOT.

Now for a national debate. An American citizen is now in custody and was not Marandized upon taken into custody. He will be tried as an enemy combatant. Is this what we as a nation want? This person was not captured on the battlefield by our Military, he was taken into custody by Law Enforcement. This person was an Naturalized American Citizen, not a foriegn national, and yet he will not be allowed any rights. Does this mean that anyone else can be treated the same way? What if I posted something on Facebook that our politicians did not like? Could I be treated the same way? This is a debate our Nation needs to have, if we do not have this debate now, how many American citizens can be taken into custody and rights stripped away?
