But we've avoided the "catastrophe" now because Congress blindly passed the "Stimulus" bill on Friday. And you know because we're in such an extreme rush to fix things Obama will sign it 4 days later, after a nice little weekend vacation (how very Bush like of him!).

So, where are you pathetic little whiners going to go once Obama has destroyed Amerika?

AD...is is mostly the whiny pants pissing left that has threatened to leave the country.
We...like our parents after Carter...will be around to pick up the pieces.

Here's your clue on, "history, economy" for the last 30 years.

Pathetic little whiners? Try not to be so angry there dad. It's absurd to think that Obama is the cause of America's downfall. All he's really doing is holding the course steady that we've been traveling on for the past 8+ years.

.....they are moving to Iraq.......

.....the "Paradise On Earth" created by Bush......

"AD...is is mostly the whiny pants pissing left that has threatened to leave the country."

I agree that it is usually the left that talks about leaving. Pisses me off when those whom I otherwise consider intelligent and right thinking people say they'll leave if A, B or C happens/doesn't happen.

Even when their points are valid, it makes you question their commitment.

"Try not to be so angry there dad."

I was being facetious.

actually it will most likely be worse than the great depression.
During the great depression 80% of the people lived in the country and produced most of their own food. Now 80% of the people live in the city, and are mindless consumers, that don't have a clue where the pack of hamburger they just bought came from, or how it was processed. During the Great Depression hundreds of thousands of Americans starved to death.

In some areas this could get Mad Max ugly.

"Tut...tut...tut...Kirk.

YEAH!

This is the Thread where the WingDings Forget they Ever Whined about "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" as they quickly board their way-back machine to sundays decades past!

"During the great depression 80% of the people lived in the country and produced most of their own food."

Fascinating, considering the US census of 1920 revealed that more than half the people no longer lived in the country but in cities and towns---and the percentage of the population living in urban areas has been going up ever since.

C'mon, kiddo, do a little basic research for Chrissakes. It might lend your posts the tiniest glimmer of credibility.

Another interesting thing about FDR, he had the law changed so he could run for a third term as president.

And...
FDR took the dollar off the gold standard and created the FED...

I wonder if it will be like Viet Nam?
One president starts it, then the next one come in and escalates it and reinstates the

And...
Reagan was selling weapons to Iran, and part of that Weapons sale agreement was to hold the hostages until after the elections to make Carter look bad.

Nah...I think you have that baby all sewn up for at least a decade ....after the DR Clinton primary days.

I'm still here, bitch. You would have folded.

"way-back machine to sundays decades past!"

I'll GIVE you as FACT that righties are crying like their panties are on fire.

I posted this because I thought it was FASCINATING, and it should give ALL of us A LOT to be thankful for.

To my fellow-righties, STOP COMPLAINING! We don't have it that bad!

Our leftist friends and family made it through 8 years of Bush, we can make it through 4-8 years of Obama!

i'm glad you posted this - perhaps we need to reassess just who are the REAL fearmongerers?

Good idea Nanc. It's real easy actually. Here I'll start the list off, feel free to add to it everyone.

1. Politicians. Regardless of party. They ALL use fear mongering tactics.

2. Main Stream Media. Without these tools the fear mongering idiots in Washington just wouldn't have quite the same effect.

Well, "Bullhorn Barack" certainly ascended to leadership of this country with a questionable background and credentials.

His early years of schooling in an Indonesian maddrassa helped him develop a fondness for practitioners of Islam, and his affinity to his relatives, Indonesian half-sister, and Kenyan half-brothers also provide him with a sense of closeness and a fondness for members of other cultures instead of consigning him to the status of jingoist chauvinist non-cosmopolitan American.

And then, he was indoctrinated by his surrogate father, his mentor Mr. Frank Marshall Davis, a career communist member of Communist Party USA, as to how the world works from a communist perspective. I suspect that those lessons sank in. Of course, this "education " was compounded by his later exposure to the Alinsky outlook and antipathy to an ordered society, and a drive to take from the provident and give to the improvident in the good old Marxist tradition of "From each according to his abilities. To each according to his needs."

Bullhorn Barack practiced this technique as an Alinsky street organizer and activist engaged in developing racial antagonisms, and pitting people indoctrinated to believe they were entitled victimized folks, against the remainder of the community. Bullhorn Barack successfully extorted material goods and "respect" from the provident community as an alternative to their needing to cope with violence and disruption from the agitated aggrieved groups.

Now the empty suit, Obama, is proceeding with what he knows, securing transfers of material goods from one group to another with the process itself being a distraction from the malaise at hand. The underlying dynamics, the source of goods, productivity, and other factors in the economic vista are not within his ken.

The sense of affiliation with those to whom the goods is transfered, and alienation from the productive groups and the productive process is a crucial component of the putative "remedies" introduced under the aegis of the Obama regime.

After FDRs New Deal instituted similar tactics but as part of a more comprehensive understanding of economics, it developed that the New Deal was nevertheless ineffective at least on an immediate basis if the goal was to reduce unemployment and stimulate the economy. New Deal undertakings served to prolong the economic malaise with the unemployment rate never below 15% during FDRs first term. Will Bullhorn Barack's regime manifest the same achievement? Will Bullhorn Barack rally his followers and demonstrate his competency by also achieving a 15% unemployment rate as FDR did?

Developing story ...

Not to mention the fact that they'll be supporting the Stock Price of Depends Industrial Capacity Diapers for the next 4-8 years.....

The biggest potential failing in the near future would be the big three automakers. Why, the direct lose in jobs would be dwarfed by the secondary loses. From metal production to the various parts suppliers and their ancillary business. It would strike down to the far removed tool and die machine shops. The entire economy would tank fare worse that anything seen by far. We may not like or agree with the way they are being run but that can be and as I hear, is being changed. Kill industry and everything else will die on it's own.

Sounds like they are trying to call the Obamaman a Republican.

From the publication that trumpeted The Deciderer's idiocy for eight years. Sorry, The WSJ sucks, hard.

Yeah, where is the money to repay the loans taken out to support all of the boondoggles to come from? Nobody has addressed this aspect of the so-called "bailout."

Under the guise of bailout, welfare reforms were revoked with work requirements eased and lifetime limitations on indigent assistance removed. In 1994, Obama, who opposed welfare limitations, said that enactment if welfare reform under Clinton did provide an opportunity for non-working indigent blacks to plead a unified cause with working poor whites, and with a larger constituency, command greater response.

I wonder if the principles of affirmative action should also apply to welfare with black and representation limited to the proportion of blacks and whites, respectively, in the general population. Just a thought as that would demonstrate not only solidarity and equal participation, but such a distribution would reflect the equal allocation of abilities by nature, so that there was no identifiable sector of the indigent community receiving an untoward proportion of the welfare dollar.

This way racial enmity could not be used to incite people against welfare programs on the basis of race.

I love it how all the bitter small minded wingnuts are whining on threads such as this one. It really gives me a feeling of confidence that we may actually finally be moving in the right direction.

Obama provides a repetition of the example of introduction of unqualified blacks into positions of authority in the early days of the affirmative action era.

The blacks would have viewed "ol' massa" sitting on the porch, drinking a mint julep, and smoking a cigar, and think that being "massa" only entailed these show activities, not realizing that "massa" had spent a day engaged in other activities. So the black successors to these posts focused on the obvious show aspects, and ignored the nitty gritty work required to accomplish the goals attendant to the assignment.

Obama seems to be acting in concert with such tradition. He glories in the show aspects, riding in Air force 1, making speeches, posing and posturing, but he doesn't seem to have a clue regarding the work to be done, an d the decisions to be made. He is fulfilling the role of POTUS from a superficial perspective.

Bullhorn Barack was not "prepared" for the post to which he was elected. The White House is "too confining" for him, and for Michele, another parvenu, who unfortunately has also never arrived.

No class. No background. No experience. Floundering.

And in the meantime, the debt is soaring as special interests are rewarded for their support.

Well no, Sitdown. Bush did benefit from breeding and exposure to how things are done.

Now, I'm with Cheney in believing Bush ended his Presidency ignominiously when he did not pardon Libby, and the two railroaded Border Patrol agents, among other things.

But the preparation for the Presidency of Bush compared to the insulation of Obama, and Obama's exposure to the world is light years apart.

Unfortunately.

And are you comparing the grace and style of the Bush women to that of Mrs. Obama, who looks like Jim Brown in drag, and could probably level Barack with one blow? Come on. You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl. I'll bet that Barack would not tangle with his wife the way Bill did with Hillary, who threw dishes at him, as Michelle could probably cold cock him with one blow. Neither of the Obamas have any class.

The debt spiral under Bush was outrageous, but compared to the Obama intiatives, it was amateur hour. The current legislation is basically uncapped. And it has mushroomed in many areas seemingly with all pretense of restraint abandoned.

Anything can be repeated without comment. Do you agree that this occurred, or not. Is the statement factual from your perspective? If you agree, is it taboo to cite the analogy? If you disagree, what is your experiential basis for your disagreement?

Good old one observation, one picture, Hans. Are you engaged in reciting a mantra? Or are you able to elaborate your thought?

By the way, Hans, I'm much better looking than the fellow in your link, and certainly more athletic. You seem to delight in your stereotype which differs from reality, and draws you farther into your seemingly addled and certainly self-deceptive thought process.

Hans, you also seem to be quite utilitarian in your instruction as to how to obtain power. There seems to be a lack of consideration of integrity and morals, and your Machiavellian advice seems to be that minorities be courted by pretending they are imbued with virtues that are in actuality lacking, and in promising them payments from the public coffers, demagoguery. Your instructions entail manipulation of minorities, a tactic at which Democrat Party practitioners have become expert.

Some of us, Hans, have a model that does not provide for creation of wealth by fiat, but instead requires input of energy and materials, both in various forms, so as to provide material goods for distribution. The model that I find more viable, requires participation in the productive process so as to secure meaningful recompense, reward in material goods somehow consonant with contribution.

You seem to favor giveaways in the sense and tradition of Marx. You know Hans, "From each according to his abilities. To each according to his needs." And your low opinion of minorities is manifest in your theme that special awards need to be made to minorities by virtue of whom they are, payment of patronage in return for being voted into political positions. You certainly are "practical" in your outlook, Hans. I suspect that you also consider yourself to be occupying some moral high ground because of your support of a model that denigrates minorities and so expects less of them.

Ho hum.

Alas poor Hans, still non-responsive to the post responding to yours. Are you unable to respond? Why? Because you can't grasp what was posted? Or is there some other debility precluding you from being on topic? You're something of a "monochrome," Hans. Liven up. Elaborate your thought processes.

Or are you trying to find satori, or something similar, through constant repetition? Is this mindless repetition your way of meditating, Hans? I certainly don't think that you are as limited as you present yourself as being, Hans. Just keep on striving, and you'll probably be able to break out from the confines of your stereotyped thought process, and contribute an original thought. I have faith and confidence in you Hans, and I certainly hope that it isn't unfounded. Because once you begin unloading the contents of your mind, I suspect we'll find a treasure trove. Then again, maybe not.

Powerful self-description for yourself, Hans. I don't believe that unwarranted humility is a positive trait. You declared yourself as you should. Congratulations on your ability to engage in keen introspection.

Know thyself.
