Congress Has Lost It's Mind

[rpicardi1]

It appears that Obama has actually worked on some legislation, Senate bill S.2433. In short, it is known as the Global Poverty Act of 2007.

The proposal is to bankrupt all achievers in this country in order to fund a global welfare state throughout the entire world as a step of achieving the liberals goal of their New World Order.

Here is the link to the actual bill; http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:1:./temp/~c110M2CaEU::

Go ahead, you "Mindless Sheep," Elect Lord Obama for President since you will be consider a racist if you vote for McCain. Blindly cast your vote for Democrats this fall. Put Democrats in charge of the country. Just don't complain when;

You lose your job,
you lose your retirement savings,
you lose your property,
Taxes and inflation skyrocket as shortages, rationing and price controls are enacted,
you lose your guns,
you lose your freedom,
and prior to losing your head during the invasion of Radical Islam, you will have the satisfaction knowing that you have funded the greatest welfare program ever imagined.

Suddenly it's the 1960s again and we have LBJ's "War On Poverty" resurrecting its ugly head.

I've said it before, I'll say it again-the only way to keep government spending in control long term is to get rid of the income tax. If you limit government solely to taxes on trade, there are limits to how much total income it can get. Tax trade too much, and it just dries up. On the other hand, you must tax income quite heavily before it'll start to dry up, so the government ends up with way more total income this way to spend on pie-in-the-sky nonsense like this.

Why are we so concerned with eliminating poverty? In most of the countries where extreme poverty exists there is one answer which will help dramatically-just stop having babies! Of course, it's politically incorrect to even suggest these countries are often mostly responsible for their own predicaments. If passed, this will just be another black hole which bankrupts the average taxpayer while doing nothing to solve the original problem. Until you change the mindset of many of the poor, they'll never be able to break free of the chains of poverty. What was it-give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime?

You guys are just sad, coming on here daily whining about some great fear...

Too bad you didnt govern as conservatives when you had the chance. But if you no longer have the chance, its your own fault. But go ahead, blame others, including the "mindless sheep". Pass that blame on elsewhere like some liberal.

Kenny, I certainly see the value of some sort of safety net for those who temporarily fall on hard times. I'm not a dogmatic conservative like most of the people who start the threads down here. It's just that whenever some politician has some general goal like "eliminating poverty" it scares the living daylights out me. All such gradiose, high-minded schemes will ever accomplish is to bankrupt the Treasury. And to be sure the Democrats aren't solely to blame. Under whose watch was the prescription drug benefit, one of our largest open-ended entitlements ever, passed? You're right that our conservatives mostly don't act as such. Ronald Reagan was probably the last truly conservative President we had. Before him, I think you have to go all the way back to Eisenhower.

I understand, and share this view as well.

What Ron doesnt understand is the people who are putting Democrats in control of the country have already lost their job, lost their property, lost their retirement savings, and lost their freedoms under a conservative watch. Its understandable that he is nervous, as after stealing the housing, job base, and retirement of upcoming generations to pay for some war conservatives started, he now feels the heat that his retirement and property and employment will be next (and rightly so).

Karma is a biatch!

But please, Ron, no need for the play-by-play.

OK Kenny that's less than 5% of the population. How does that trump the other 95%?

Talk about spreading FUD! Sheesh....

Why don't you guys argue policy merits instead of the old "The conservatives are going to take your Social Security away" or the ever popular "a chicken in every pot"?

Oh I forgot, an original thought and a cold drink of water to you lot is analogous to a cross and garlic to Dracula...

black hole

Joe you can't use that phrase - the functional illiterates who make up the PC crowd have now declared that phrase racist!

Outcome based education and the Nanny Society have insured that!

P.S. I wonder if it has occurred to the rocket scientists who started pushing that particular definition and initiated the PC ban on the use of the word niggardly (which as you know predates the N word in English since it dates back to Shakespearean times when Blackamoor was the accepted term for people of color. For the PC among us, It means cheap and has absolutely nothing at all to do with race) how stupid and uneducated their lack of vocabulary and understanding of the etymology of those words makes them appear? This is not withstanding their diploma mill advanced degrees in sociology, divinity and underwater basket weaving.

Hmmm, if Kenny want's to compare the cost of the Iraqi war with the entitlement monster, let's go back in history and add up the cost of the Democrat's wars. You know, Korea and Viet Nam?

Amazing that for Liberals, history began yesterday, er history is whatever is convenient for them at the moment. The war in Iraq has increased the Defense budget by less than 20%. The Defense Budget is a drop in the bucket compared to Social Security and Medicare, let alone the so-called "safety net." You know, the one the Republicans reformed and the Dems have been chipping away at ever since.

BTW, regardless of the scare-mongering by the Left, the Prescription Drug benefit really hasn't cost that much. It amazes me how the Liberals can advocatea a 10 TRILLION DOLLAR entilement program like Medicare, but get their little knees jerking when Bush adds 5% to it, and then turn around and complain about the high "out-of-pocket" costs of the program.

Oh, BTW, the free market has already started to create it's own solution to the problem - through competition.

Democrats argue policy merits? How can they, they have no policies. Morals, ethics, standards, or even ideas. All they can do is either complain, obstruct, whine, or protest.

You think that 95% actually has to experience job loss, home loss, or retirement savings loss to not take into account when visiting the voting booth the experiences of that 5% who were "just like them" and who "lived right across the street" and who did experience such?

Conservatives lost this election when they threw working-class conservatives under the bus so those in control could play their little game of "Risk" to the benefit of multi-nationals. 5% "sacrafice" is more than enough to turn the tables.

Liberals hate facts as much as they hate the bible. Remember, these people are motivated and controlled by hate. Hate and facts (a.k.a. the truth) will never mix.

For liberals, history is whatever excuse they use for not answering a simple question.
