		<description>That&#039;s funny, because that was the movie that was on right after &quot;1776&quot;.  I thought about watching it, but decided it was more important to have a nice dinner with my daughters than to get even more angry at the morons who think like LGM/ILMC/and the others who are actually trying to excuse away the destruction of our country and convince people they are not incredibly racist with their claims that blacks and other minorities need to be Dems and slaves to the Government or if they do things on their own rather than take hand-outs and beg from uncle Sam, they are somehow sell-outs.

Yeah...I wonder what the air is like in their world.  Apparently it is very dense for when they arrive in the real world, they show all the signs and symptoms of hypoxia.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;To be sure, the federal spending package includes tax cuts for most Americans…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is what we call, &quot;creative accounting&quot;.  You simply take money from one column of the ledger and move it to another. Nothing has been accomplished but it looks good anyway. So-called &quot;tax cuts&quot; will be more than made up for, in other taxes, products and services. Taxing the &quot;wealthy&quot; doesn&#039;t leave out the poor and middle-class.  Again, it &quot;trickles down&quot; to them, through products/services. It also diminishes investments. R&amp;D is cut back. Companies let employees go, to save what they have. Just like FDR, Obama will steer a recession right into a major depression. Cutting the deficit in half, is nothing more, again, but simple &quot;creative accounting&quot;. It will be still there, just renamed and masked. Don&#039;t be fooled.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;...if you vote for me, if you crave the kinds of changes that America is ready to see happen, I promise you this, I will not just win an election, I will not just win, but more importantly you and I together, we will transform this COUNTRY, and WE WILL TRANSFORM THE WORLD!&quot;

- Barack Obama. Florence, SC. January 25, 2008&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Well, America did vote for Obama, and now we are beginning to see what he meant by &quot;transform this country.&quot;  He is pushing his socialist agenda as fast as he can because he knows his time is short.  He knows his programs will not help the economy.  He doesn&#039;t care about the econony, only about his agenda. So he is acting quickly before the people have time to wise up and turn against him.

Even the liberal &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29424049/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MSNBC and Washington Post&lt;/a&gt; recognize that his plan is not a sure thing but a huge gamble:

&lt;blockquote&gt;President Obama&#039;s first budget... underscores the breadth of his aspiration to &lt;strong&gt;reverse three decades of conservative governance&lt;/strong&gt; and use his presidency to rapidly transform the country.

But in adopting a program of such size, cost and complexity, Obama has far exceeded what other politicians might have done. As a result, &lt;strong&gt;he is now gambling with his own future and the success of his presidency.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Except he is not just gambling with his own future, he is gambling with the future of the entire country.  Please, please wise up to him America, before it is too late to reverse course.</description>

Good Gawd, even when the left wing gets something right they get it all wrong.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;despite reocrd numbers of college-educated people that exist in this country today, so many of these elite are willfully ignorant of their history&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I took some college level history classes around 4 years ago. The ignorance really isn&#039;t willful. People are not being taught anything resembling the history of this country, even if the name of the class is American History.

The left has been firmly in control of the curricula for decades. Extremely widespread ignorance is the result.</description>

Too bad that song wasn&#039;t about personal responsibility.  Help should go to the innocent and the weak, not the greedy and irresponsible.</description>

		<description>A very pleasant surprise that someone in the dying media has taken notice of the peaceful and respectful discontent of conservatives as “dear leader” is rapidly succeeding in making our country rival the failed economy and state of Zimbabwe.  Here’s hoping the momentum builds to the point we remind our public servants that they are our servants and we are not theirs.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Michelle, you need to take on some of these so-called conservatives that are whining that these protests are unproductive or give us a bad image. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I concur! Glen Beck has started naming names, &lt;em&gt;something I&#039;ve asked for for awhile now,&lt;/em&gt; and it&#039;s making the Rino&#039;s and Elephant hypocrites mad, and uncomfortable. Beck said he received many irate emails from Congressional staff persons after his expose, yesterday. Senator Thad Cock-run&#039;s staffy complained that Glen mis-pronounced the Senator&#039;s first name...call the fracking w-a-a-ambulance! They also received a call ordering them &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to run the email. That&#039;s chutzpah! 

Glen&#039;s answer was the correct one...&lt;strong&gt;Congress works for us, not the other way around!&lt;/strong&gt;

We need more voices doing this...expose the two-faced &quot;gimme goons&quot; in both parties, and make them understand anew, just who they work for...us, the U.S. taxpayer!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;To be sure, the federal spending package includes tax cuts for most Americans…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

These are not the tax cuts you are looking for.

what good are tax cuts if you are going to have to pay a lot more for goods and services because the tax burden has been simply shifted (and doubled) onto business?</description>
