   We allow it because as long as we can come HOME from our jobs and sit in front of TV and live our lives the way we want – to heck with the rest.

   No it is actualy because I have a job. You want to pay my mortgage? Fine, then I am willing to sit on congresses doorstep. But until then I cant take the time off to do what it would take. I have 2 babies on the way. You want to do something on the weekend, I am free 3 weekends a month, but aside from that I have to feed a whole bunch of people.

   I like the idea of taxpayer revolt…

   but I don’t think it’s going to happen. We’ll have a few phone calls, a few protests, but that’s about it…

   People will forget all about this long before November 2010.

   We need an organized, angry revolt where tens of millions of Americans refuse to have their taxes sent to Washington.

   It’ll never happen. Soon it will be too late to try.

   Son – sitting in front of congress isn’t the only way to get things done. Sending money to those who can sit in front of congress is another avenue. It’s amazing to me how Soros is willing to spend billions of his dollars to push his agenda and republicans who have the resources to do the same…won’t. Why is that?

   Back to lgm. Help me understand this relationship we all have with this guy. He comes here to be educated or is playing devils advocate. It’s ok to hone our skills in rebuttal using lgm but geez, we are preaching to the choir here. We should be blasting the libs over at Huffington etc…
   lgm is a waste of time….we should get into the ring with the real thing…..
   We probably need to figure out how to mobilize ourselves to comment on the lib sites….or are any of y’all in mass doing that already…not to ask anyone to give away secrets out in the open tho..

   Fact is, this country is moraly unable to stand up for its own rights. Because that means making hard decisions. This countries idea of “hardship” right now is not being able to buy that brand new ATV this year. This country as a whole has had it so easy for so long that it EXPECTS things. It will accept a completely socialist type of government as long as they get their government handout. The only exception is radicals like us who were educated outside of the us education system. We see what is coming but the moderate normal american has NO clue, and couldn’t care less. Why do you think I am keeping a back door open for myself and my family??? Do you really think the masses give 2 damns about the constitution? Most have never even read it!!! They will just go with whoever can give them the most stuff and make them feel the best. They will squeal when the guns are taken but will do nothing. They will feel uncomfortable about the new fairness doctrine, but do nothing about it. This country is heading for a dictatorship that will not be meaningfully opposed until it is far too late for anything but a civil war to fix it. We are now Rome being feed circuses and bread to keep us fat and happy. Don’t you worry, the barbarians are massing. We won’t even know what hit us.

   Misscheryl, any idea who our Soros is? Also are there any front groups that our Soros would underight? There are plenty of students or retired folks in many cities (as already stated) with some time to protest or get in the face of the media. What’s needed is a group of us. It’s always easier if you are in a group so we would have to be well organized.
   sonofdy You hang in there and keep that job and your family together. You and people like you are part of the backbone of our country (heard that before? – still true). We all here on this site need to hang together too.

    I’m not into ad hominem attacks. I don’t call people crude names. I don’t swear.

    I have been booted off HuffPoo twice without explanation. Every three months I send Arianna’s Gestapo an email asking for an explanation.

    I have yet to receive any reply.

    I am not surprised.

    The revolution will not be televised (on HuffPoo).

    I have no idea who “our” Soros would be. Maybe I’m ignorant to it, but I also think that’s my point. I have no clue who’s ours would be or is, but everyone knows Soros. I do agree with your post though.

    Responding to LGM does serve the useful purpose of helping prepare one for the real LGM’s one encounters in everyday life; it gives one a chance to practice using political talking points. In my case, I run into no less three LGM’s just by dropping by the post office on the way home, and all of them with the unexplained need to talk politics.

    The language you use against me here would get you banned on Huffington, or any site that requires civility.

    Isn’t it shocking that people here are proud to be unpatriotic? You’re not loyal to the country, but the the Republican party. Like Rush Limbaugh, you pray for the decline of the nation, if it’s led by a Democrat. Are you ashamed?

    By the way, I am exactly what I pretend to be: a liberal trying to understand conservatives. This thread doesn’t put them in a very positive light, loyalty-wise.

    Do you want us to be? I mean, if you’re really a liberal, shouldn’t you be applauding our individualism of ideas and diversity of opinion? Or are those ideals reserved just for people who think and agree with the liberal dogma?

    I’ll bring my facemask, gas mask and handy dandy ‘Overthrow-the-IMF/WorldBank’ backpack just in case we need to storm the IMax while we’re there!

    Colorado hasnt seen a really good riot – since setting fire to front porch sofas was banned at CU at the beginning of the decade.

    Then again, maybe this is just Obamas way to buy me off, the same way he bought off Spector by inviting him to the Super Bowl watching party. (See? the fix was in all the way around. You know the Steelers should have lost, right?) I should be honored.

    Kan. suspends income tax refunds, may miss payroll
    Comments (45) Recommend (23)
    By JOHN HANNA
    Associated Press Writer
    TOPEKA, Kan. – Kansas has suspended income tax refunds and may not be able to pay employees on time, the state’s budget director said Monday.

    The state doesn’t have enough money in its main bank account to pay its bills, prompting Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to suggest transferring $225 million from other accounts throughout state government. But the move required approval from legislative leaders, and the GOP refused Monday.

    Sebelius say hi to Granholm

    Someone should tell Liberty Belle, that it is still “Washington’s Birthday” and not “President’s Day”. I don’t know any action that was taken to change the name, except by advertisers; certainly not by congressional or presidental decree. I still respect the man enough to let him have his own day, and not group him with others, of less integrity and character. Here was a man who could been a king or dictator at his choosing, but turned it down: a 1700s Cincinnatus. I can’t say that many in our history or modern times, would have done the same.

    You’re not loyal to the country,

    …and yet you fall right into the stereotype trap, anyway.

    but the [sic] the Republican party.

    LOL. You’re here nearly everyday and yet you say something as dull as this? We believe in conservative principles. Sometimes that coincides with the Republican party, too often lately they do not.

    We do not just support the Republican party. At least, certainly not like you do for just about every Democrat that does anything wrong.

    Like Rush Limbaugh, you pray for the decline of the nation, if it’s led by a Democrat. Are you ashamed?

    Have you ever listened to Rush? For more than 2 minutes?

    Are you ashamed that you make unsubstantiated references so long as they fit your emotional argument?

    Fact check: I just went to Huff & looked at the comments on an article about Hillary Clinton going to North Korea. There are some pretty strong conservative words. If this is what they let in, I wonder what sludge they have to throw out.

    The koreans screwed over the clintons too, they screw over every administration because we try talking to them every time, and they stab us in the back every time, doubt it will be any different with Obama, he’ll get stabbed in the back too, you’d think we’d learn after a while.

    Not to be petty, but after seeing the video footage from her speaking, she had the worst and biggest bags under eyes. It’s amazing what happens when the b-otox stops and real work has to be done.

    Clinton signed an agreement in 1994 with NK and under it, NK secretly built its nuclear program and when NK announced its secret, libs were crying “But you broke your promise not to build one.”

    Yes, we should hug and kiss the most brutal government in the world. Then they will love us and all will be well. Until they land that missile of theirs in San Francisco. But you can blame Bush for that too.

    You’re showing your ignorance again if you really think 9/11 happened because of W.
    Read the democrat-led 9/11 commission report for a little enlightenment.

    She’s a c o w.

    Brilliant. The United States has sent a woman with ZERO credibility to Asia to deal with Japan, China, and the two Koreas. America has vital interests there. Hillary Clinton is not qualified to address any issues of American foreign policy. Hope her trip is a short one. The more time she spends at home the less damage she can do to our world image.

    “Last September, however, former Secretary of State Albright admitted that North Korea had duped the Clinton administration, and that Kim Jong Il began to acquire nuclear weapons on her watch.
