   BHO always includes, in his readings, that economists all agree that his spending plans will result in job growth …blah blah…
   And just who are those people anyway? It would be interesting to see their “contributions” listing and their “got grants” listing. There HAS to be a direct connection.

   We need some disclosures.

   When the Democrats stand to cheer the President 200 times during his “Destroy America Now” speech, I will be giggling watching the RINOs feel obligated to stand up with their prom dates. Really, who wants to stay seated in protest, looking at all those fat asses (i mean donkeys) in front of them?

    This guy’s lunutopia is popular with libs these days as an excuse for expanding an already gigantic government.
    Google George Lakoff and you’ll find he’s published this BS over and over.

    George Lakoff, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, recently stated that “the moral mission of government is simple: no one can earn a living in America or live an American life without protection and empowerment by the government.”
    Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters nationwide agree with Lakoff’s assertion while 46% disagree in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Twenty percent (20%) are not sure.
    Half (51%) of Democrats agree with the professor while Republicans and unaffiliated voters strongly disagree. Republicans reject Lakoff’s statement by a 3-to-1 margin, unaffiliateds by a 2-to-1 margin.

    Somehow the left never quite gets the clue that government can’t exist except as an entity created, supported and controlled by We the People.

    American leaders are only allowed the powers we give them, right now 300 million people need to keep that in mind.

    AP reported that Eric Cantor has said that the Defense budget is under consideration for cuts, too, thanks to Tea Party pressure. (Cantor has said this before, but he was the majority whip-elect then.)

    This is great news. It says that the Tea Party arm of the GOP is truly serious about scaling back government. This notion that Defense should off the table because we are at war is patented nonsense. Expect the Democrats to start sounding like hawks on today’s talk shows.

    Defense plans to spend over $720 billion this year. Only about $160 of that is for Iraq and Afghanistan. There is room for some trimming. I particularly like Cato’s plan to reduce Defense spending by $1.2 trillion over 10 years.

    The other obvious ploy to counter Defense budget cuts will be to kick and scream about job losses in a time of economic suffering. What a bunch of Keynesian bullstuff.

    We spend ourselves into oblivion in a Keynesian/quixotic (keynexotic?) attempt to “stimulate” the economy, especially since this new administration took over (Bush tried this idiocy, too,) and we think that Congress will cut spending when times are good? Ha friggin’ ha.

    Go get them Tea Partiers. Put ALL discretionary spending on the table and cut cut cut. Free this economy from government spending and watch the US economy percolate and grow.

    The downside, of course, is that this gets Barack Obama a second term. But, it could keep the GOP dominate in the House and would likely lead to control of the Senate. I’d take that any day.

    1. I haven’t heard ANYTHING about cutting foreign aid. IMO that should be the first thing on the list. Keep it here at home til we get out of this hole. And even THEN, give it with stipulations.

    2. If everyone sits mixed together and the Dems stand up and cheer, it will give the impression more are cheering than not…you know, the visibility thing.

    This is exactly where the freedom hating trash pull their straw man propaganda bs.

    The quote is obviously true, if you strip from it the implication instrusive and endlessly expanding government must be a good thing.

    It is self evidently true to all but an extreme leftwing anarchist fringe, like the Marxist loons who believe their all powerful government will “fade away.”

    If it was not true, then we would not have bothered with ratifying the Constitution and establishing the government.

    Why bother having a government at all, if we don’t need it to be able to earn a living or live an American life?

    If we didn’t need it, we could just abolish it and then go on our merry way, earning our livings and living our lives.

    The Tea Party loves having a properly functioning government. The Tea Party loves our Constitution and the rule of law.

    The claim we do not is nothing but the vile, Big Lie propaganda of evil men.

    The Tea Party also loves the limits our Constitution places on our government so that it remains our servant rather than become our tyrant.

    That is why the evil men who want tyrannical government lie about the Tea Party hating government.

    Of course conservatives have to keep the House and take the Senate, but if Obama holds the veto pen until 2017, Obamacare will have become irreversible. The American Experiment will be over. We will have become Europe, and without an America in the world to protect it, Europe dies.

    Loved Rush’s take on building stuff like Thomas Edison:

    OBAMA: We’re going back to Thomas Edison’s principles. We’re gonna build stuff and invent stuff.

    RUSH: Stop the tape. We’re going back to Thomas Edison’s principles. We are banning Edison’s lightbulb! We are erasing Edison. This is comical. We’re going back to Thomas Edison principles, and at the same time we’re gonna get rid of that hacker lightbulb. Thomas Edison is an enemy of the environment, folks, by definition. These guys are banning his lightbulbs. Those lightbulbs have contributed to dead polar bears, drowning sea lions, skyrocketing temperatures around the world, record snowfall, whatever has gone out of whack, those lightbulbs are a leading contributor to our planet’s demise. And here is our grim leader, “We’re gonna go back to Edison’s principles,” while we’re getting rid of Edison. Lord help us. And this is what passes for unparalleled, unprecedented, never-before-seen intelligence and rhetoric, and the ability to articulate among the ranking members of the ruling class.
