    CHAOS

     

     

    THEY SAY I GOTTA GO TO REHAB, I SAY NO NO NO

     

    Brer Rabbit

    I simply don't believe the Democrats would really be worse off with voters if they committed themselves to putting people back to work, policing Wall Street, throwing their weight behind a real public option in health care, making hedge fund managers pay the same tax rates as ordinary people, ending the pointless wars abroad, etc. That they won't do these things because they're afraid of public criticism, and "responding to pressure," is an increasingly transparent lie. This "Please, Br'er Fox, don't throw me into dat dere briar patch" deal isn't going to work for much longer. Just about everybody knows now that they want to go into that briar patch.

    BRIAR PATCH?

    The United States cannot default on its debt obligations. The jobs and savings of too many Americans are at stake.

    And over the last six months, we've done our best to convince the president to partner with us to do something dramatic to change the fiscal trajectory of our country. . .something that will boost confidence in our economy, renew a measure of faith in our government, and help small businesses get back on track.

    Last week, the House passed such a plan, and with bipartisan support. It's called the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" Act. It CUTS and CAPS government spending and paves the way for a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which we believe is the best way to stop Washington from spending money it doesn't have. Before we even passed the bill in the House, the president said he would veto it.

    I want you to know I made a sincere effort to work with the president to identify a path forward that would implement the principles of Cut, Cap, & Balance in a manner that could secure bipartisan support and be signed into law. I gave it my all.

    Unfortunately, the president would not take yes for an answer. Even when we thought we might be close on an agreement, the president's demands changed.

    The president has often said we need a "balanced" approach -- which in Washington means: we spend more. . .you pay more. Having run a small business, I know those tax increases will destroy jobs.

    SHOW-DOWN AT THE OK CORRAL

    That was Boehner holding up his hands and running for cover. Ha

    FUCK THE POOR. FUCK THE DISENFRANCHISED!

    LET US MAKE WAR!

     

      • This story shall the good man teach his son;
            And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
            From this day to the ending of the world,
            But we in it shall be remembered-
            We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
            For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
            Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
            This day shall gentle his condition;
            And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
            Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
            And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
            That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    YOU BETCHYA!
     

    I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute. [laughter]
    However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.

    As much I as I dislike the Republican agenda, it doesn't seem to me that making them the donkey that would carry our sins into the desert will make all our problems go away.

    The point of view excludes too many other asses.


    fuck em!

    LETS SEE HOW WELL THEY DO WITHOUT THEIR DEFENSE CONTRACT MONIES, THEIR TAX LOOP HOLES, THEIR DOMESTIC CONTRACTS MONIES...

    LET THEM ALL DIE OF THIRST.

    FUCK THEM!

     


    I am put in mind of the mandate from the tender Tiny Tim, brought to us by Mr. Dickens:

    "Fuck'em all, every last one" said Tim, as he laid with vigor about his sister's head and shoulders with his crutch...

     

    Or something like that.


    As someone who relishes logic, I thought this was logically sound:

    Fox's MacCallum: If We Didn't Have A Social Safety Net, We'd Be In A "Much Better, Stronger Fiscal Position" To Wage War

    Of course, the flip side of that is, if we didn't wage war, we could afford a much better, stronger social safety net. The final conclusion is that I find MacCallum's logic sound, but his priorities lacking.


    I tell ya, that line hit me harder than anything I have read in a month--except beckerhead's of course.

    There is no shame anymore--none whatsoever.


    Miss me yet? At least I only waged war on the furiners.


    hahaahhhahaha

    SPEECHLESS!
