Bone meal for the downtrodden and the hungry? Upgraded cell phones for the gangbangers in my neighborhood? Cell phones for bums? Permanent welfare for those disinclined to contribute?<br /><br />You are so sad, sir.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-53515695901140448192010-11-02T16:05:54.469-07:002010-11-02T16:05:54.469-07:00You're an ass if you believe this, it's no...You're an ass if you believe this, it's not the 545 people, it's the corporations who own them sell you a load of crap and get you to vote against your best interests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-84595732056511317492010-11-02T13:16:03.285-07:002010-11-02T13:16:03.285-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-68537813133432989802010-11-02T13:15:58.666-07:002010-11-02T13:15:58.666-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-82525153457064779912010-11-02T13:15:54.928-07:002010-11-02T13:15:54.928-07:00If growing pot becomes legal then the US agricultu...If growing pot becomes legal then the US agricultural system will wipe the floor with even the poorest of peasants anywhere on the planet: they BUY OUR CORN for heaven's sake. Corn is one of the cheapest things on this planet to grow... Mexico depends on our corn. Imagine a real cash crop coming through the pipeline...<br /><br />The problem with legalizing pot is that it will be too cheap to tax normally, so you put tobacco-style taxes on it which is the only reason that is costly. The great 'boon' in taxes comes through addiction to the use of the stuff, not through paying a couple of bucks a pack for it when made legal.<br /><br />America went from 13 colonies to an industrial powerhouse without one, single National drug law in the 19th century. These are the people who laid the railroads, put down the roadbeds, put up telegraph lines, and forged a Nation from sea to sea. Some few were stoned out of their gourds, too. Seems to me the job got done without a lot of fuss about drugs or alcohol... but then that was an age where living past 40 was a major goal in life, and you could not do it pain nor sickness free. You want to see hard drinking Americans? Look at the Revolution. Americans addicted to morphine? Look to civil war vets. Marijuana? Cowboys. Yes this stuff could be abused, and then child endangerment laws got put in place for the worst uses of the stuff, plus food and drug purity laws. America started coming out of its stupor before the Stamp Act was passed.<br /><br />Remember: criticize this stuff and you are at your peril of slurring generations without a single law on the stuff. Yes there were better ways to go... but they were taking them because worse ways already had them... TB, Scarlet Fever, Cholera, amputations, systemic infections.... now those with terminal cancer can't get morphine because... IT IS ADDICTIVE!<br /><br />When you say you are not your brother's keeper, do you mean it? Or do you really want to control him for 'his own good' while claiming otherwise?<br /><br />Washington could take whatever he damn, well pleased.<br /><br />You aren't so lucky.<br /><br />He was free.<br /><br />You are only born free.<br /><br />Then government comes along 'to help'.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-6156166083967482482010-11-01T19:13:54.489-07:002010-11-01T19:13:54.489-07:00DB: evidently you don't get around. We are ab...DB: evidently you don't get around. We are about to experience the largest tax increase, come January 1st, in the entire history of the United States.<br /><br />Of course, the stock market reached never before seen heights, unemployment was at all time lows and we were bopping along just fine under the Bush administration. That is, up until 2006 when the Demorats took control of Congress. But why let the facts get in the way of a good repetitive dose of propaganda for the masses?<br /><br />In much the same way that Mr Obaka stands in front of the t'prompter and tells the American people that ‘the buck stops’ with him and then turns around immediately and spends his time assigning blame to everyone but himself, he declares that he is doing everything he can to fix the economy whilst at the very same time, INCREASING the federal budget to levels few of us could have imagined. He has actually succeeded in having American people talk in terms of TRILLIONS of dollars as though those are "reasonable" sums of money.<br /><br />In the first two months of Obaka’s administration, the stimulus package has already contributed to quadruple the deficit.<br /><br />I won't dispute that President G.W. Bush DID increase the federal deficit to an historic $700 billion through 2008. <br /><br />However, Obaka is adding another $1 TRILLION to that already historic level. Whatever increases Bush added during his administration, Obaka is matching and raising to almost unimaginable levels!<br /><br />I would be remiss not to mention that Bush’s administration had to deal with the budget-busting terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 and the subsequent costly Global War on Terrorism.<br /><br />Obama’s budget insanity will increase the public debt by $4.9 TRILLION DOLLARS. Staggering. Incomprehensible numbers.<br /><br />Bush spent like a drunken sailor on leave.<br /><br />Obaka spent like the entire fucking FLEET on liberty.<br /><br />"Cost cutting measures." Gimme a fockin' break, dude. Try reading your OWN Left Wing news.<br /><br />And finally: can your Obaka match the BILLIONS of dollars that an ancient white guy spent on AIDS in Africa? Thought not. <br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-56942238687382904352010-11-01T14:16:22.656-07:002010-11-01T14:16:22.656-07:00I guess you don't realize the Obama's budg...I guess you don't realize the Obama's budget and cost cutting measures have reduced the deficit some $200 billion.
