Nothing is Free… Someone Always Pays!

Entitlements are increasing at an alarming rate - Obama and democrats want you to believe there will be no problem… What they mean, shut-up and let us get more people (voters) dependent on free money for nothing and they will just tax tax working Americans into poverty - AND THEN and ONLY THEN will they achieve equality!

Not my idea of fair - Good way to destroy ingenuity, motivation, etc. though!

Chart: Entitlement Spending Will Nearly Double by 2050:

Obamacare subsidies will soar over the next 38 years, leaving future generations with an alarming debt burden.

...

Starting in 2010, Social Security began to permanently spend more than it takes in.

Extreme Weather and Global Warming

The scare tactics of global warming seem to be working for those still believing the media, and don't read newspapers to see "which way the lefterly winds are blowing?" or what fear mongering lie/rumor is being used today to control the masses...

Amazing, with all the "academia" nuts out there the population is still so ignorant...

Wake up, you are being lied to and someone is making a fortune off your fear and your attempts to do something "good for mother earth" - Buying special bulbs, special additives to the fuel, special, special, all at an added cost to you while lining someone's pockets! BUT, keep in mind, this isn't coming from this evil non-caring conservatives, NO, it comes from the liberal academics that care so much for you!

Does global warming cause extreme weather?:

Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been largely hiding from the public the actual cause of recent extreme weather events

Insight into The Left's Introduction of "Social Darwinism" for 2012

Some pretty good intro on the left's recent strategy… and opinion piece provides some good resources you might want to go to for real historical facts!
Obama Launches meme, Jonah Goldberg shoots it down:
...the myth that Social Darwinism was a popular term in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was largely created by the liberal historian Richard Hofstadter, whose 1944 book Social Darwinism in American Thought didn't merely transform our understanding of the Gilded Age, it largely fabricated an alternative history of it.

Expected To Change for "Some"...

This story demonstrates how in this "PC Correct" society we are expected to change so not to offend - I am expected to change and accept values I don't agree with because a few don't accept my values, REALLY? We as a society are expected to "lower" our expectation and change our values so not to offend - Well I find the requirement of the few very OFFENSIVE, and will not change...
I have every right to state my values and expectations whether the few are offended our not… the few surely don't care if they offend me - Tolerance, is not acceptance and certainly not changing. For me, or this artist, to tolerate a different view of life or different life values doesn't require us to change our values and certainly doesn't require accepting someone else's...

The Reason The Media Has Selected Romney

...because the Obama administration is already prepared to battle Romney! They have been preparing to battle the moderate nominee for some time and with the help of the media and the elite republican establishment it appears they will get their wish... and complete their plan!

Nominate Romney because he is the only electable candidate, my _______!

Check out the link
President Barack Obama's administration launched a multi-pronged assault on Mitt Romney's values and foreign policy credentials Sunday, while a fresh set of prominent Republicans rallied behind the GOP front-runner as the odds-on nominee, further signs the general election is overtaking the primary season.

I Owe Illegal Immigrants Nothing Other than Decency

I, as a US citizen, owe illegal immigrants nothing other than decency - They deserve to be treated as a human being… respectfully, with courtesy and kindness, the same as I would hope they would treat me if I were in their country.

I do not owe them a job, or access to the benefits this country provides, or for monies I work for to be distributed to them… basically, they "have no dog in the hunt" - There illegal. How can a member of any group start on equal ground when that person broke the rules/laws in the first place?

Illegal Immigrants, supports to re-create 1966 march

An excerpt:

"I deserve the same rights as anybody else, and I'm not given those rights because I am an 'undocumented'.... For those reasons I can't go to school. I can't get an actual job that I would want."

Really? You believe you deserve the same rights as someone that made sacrifices to be a legal citizen? That is fair to you?

Well if that is your definition of what is "right", fair, and somehow owed you - I am not sure I would want you as part of the society I live in! There are millions of legal immigrants that migrated here and EARNED their citizenship legally and in many cases with great sacrifice… Are you some how better them? What because you have a "harder life"… and who gets to determine that you?

GIVE ME A BREAK, I owe you nothing; however, to be part of this great country and reap the benefits you owe it plenty!

The Market Place Says - NO 2 Electric Cars!

Who would have thought it… consumers don't want a vehicle which has a 35 - 50 mile limit. Guess my co-workers and I could run long extension cords - We don't need to worry about the utilities usages not budgeted, or maybe we should insist the company install "vehicle charging stations"… after all, it is their responsibility, right?

Volt production frozen amid patchy EV sales

I want get into the fact any electricity used in this region originates from "fossil fuel", so if you do buy one of the cars to "save the planet", are you really?

Choices - Limbaugh

Though I disagree with word Limbaugh choose to use, I agree I shouldn't pay for anyone's life choices - Choice, when are we going to hold each other accountable?

Not taking responsibility for our own actions is a major problem and not holding others responsible for their choices is one of THE problems.

Let's take a speeding ticket, I had a good reason to speed or maybe I just felt it would be fun! But it was my life choice and like Fluke I should be able to do what I want at society's expense, right!

SSDD - Same Stuff Different Day

Is anyone surprised that North Korea is protesting South Korea's navel exercise? I question if the should get the satisfaction of being reported every single time...

The most recent threat, carried by the north’s state media, said Pyongyang’s forces would deal harshly with any threat proposed by Monday’s kickoff of annual South Korean-U.S. military drills that North Korea characterizes as a dress rehearsal to an invasion.

I Not Sure that is Mistreatment

I ain't buying it! Ford says
"I'm not telling it all, because it was so horrible you could not even believe it," said Ford, D-Memphis. She added later that she was restrained during a hospital stay during which "I didn't even know where I was."


Well knowing what we know about her, drunk or high or both doesn't constitute mistreatment - BTW, you don't know where you are yet you can remember ever detail while your there, REALLY?

We (The US) Might Want to Denounce!

I know these threats from the north are a dime a dozen; however, they could also mean something - could lead to loss of life... especially, if there is no acknowledgment or consequences from the US!


A year ago Wednesday, North Korea launched an attack on the civilian island of Yeonpyeong, killing two marines and two civilians and shattering the sense of security that South Koreans had enjoyed for almost 60 years.
The island shelling came half a year after North Korea torpedoed a naval ship, the Cheonan, killing 46 sailors

Hero? Really?

Just curious if these are the goals you set for your children?
Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there's another side to the coin, and you can't remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important--creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.
The suscess of Jobs is clear, but do you think he couldn't have done it without LSD? Really? ...I believe that without the drug it could have been done and possibly better and faster! I KNOW, the drug wasn't the reason for his success, and hope others realize that!
