I could take about four minutes and went back to the British Open.

Our forefathers ... (sigh) ... were partisan idiots ever bit as much as we are today, they just pretended civility a lot better ... because they also had the option of dueling and killing the b*st*rds they disagreed with. Now if I had the option to take Grover Norquist out to a cliff in New Jersey, and do an Aaron Burr on him and put a cap in *ss, I would do it in a heartbeat, wouldn't you? Maybe, it's time we bring back personal dueling as a deterrent to idiotic partisan ranting. We elect a bunch of sharpshooters in 2012 and then pass a dueling law, saying we are returning America to the ways of it's founding fathers. Then, let the fun begin. All those second amendment, NRA apologists won't be laughing so hard when our Democratic Top-Guns begin smacking them across the face with their gloves, and challenging them to duels for being intransigent on the budget talks. The party of no, will become the party of "OH NOOOO!" as Repugs clutch their chests after being shot.... Okay, did I just go a little bit too far? I did, didn't I? I'M JUST KIDDING, of course. My anger was just a bit revved up from watching Meet The Press and seeing that tool, David "Know Nothing" Gregory let his usual group of GOP talking points guests (with the usual one token Moderate Democrat to offer weak, and totally ignored by the others, rebuttal), run roughshod over the truth. Screaming at the TV on Sunday morning does strange things to one's mind and gets one thinking that violent insurrection might be the only option left. Sorry. My head is now clearing and I see that what I wrote earlier is totally insane and I therefore disavow everything I have previous written in this comment.

Thank you. Remember kids, violence is never the answer. Eat your vegetables and say your prayers ... and have a very nice day. Oh, and God Bless America. The End.

Thanks for the info on article 5. I plan to have some fun at my next quilt bee on Thursday. There is a few quilters who have been saying a balanced budget amendment needs to be done before the debt ceiling is raised. I will end it by asking if they would like to wait 10 years for their next SS check. Hmm...time to research how long it took for the last few amendments.

Gawd I despise Greenspan!

Alan Greenspan, 2007, how George W. Bush and the Republicans bravely and valiantly avoided the imminent peril of Clintonian budget surpluses and elimination of the national debt! The catastrophe of budget surpluses! Bush and the GOP met this challenge by giving large tax cut giveaways to the richest Americans, and, of course, wasting a trillion or two in unnecessary wars sold on lies and incompetently executed.

It was all supposed to lead to a burgeoning economy and a permanent Republican majority, a Rovian Reich, an AEI foretold New American Century, but ended up crashing the economy and ending the American century before it even got started. An interview by Russert with the Ayn Rand 'free market' guru Greenspan:

Greenspan: 'The 2001 tax cut was a very unusual tax cut in the sense
that it confronted, for the first time in 150
years, the possibility that we would actually
eliminate the debt in the United States. And it
was that concern which creates major
problems with respect to accumulating assets.
When you have $500 billion surpluses, when
the debt is effectively zero, creates huge
holdings of private assets by the federal
government, and for reasons I express in the
book, I think that’s very bad idea....'
