I'm beginning to see a different type of trend.

That comes with age, Jim. Usually Gas-x and a bland diet helps.

Eye bleach is much more effective I reckon.

It looks to me like this is getting close to the "Topic Spamming" threshold.

While I can't come up with specific examples off the top of my head, I do agree with you. It's been my general impression that there's a lot of folks out there that have some odd sense of entitlement, and, seem unwilling, or unable to take personal responsibility. It's always someone else's fault, or someone else's job.

With each new bill comes more votes for the same group creating and passing these bills without a care for anything other than pandering for votes in the next election. It is not about for the good of the people anymore. It is for the good of careers of those signing bills that they have yet to read.

I really think we need congressional term limits. There should be no such thing as a professional politician. Senators like Fienstien and McCain, should not exist.

IMO, DC is wildly out of control and ignoring any of the parchment of rules and regulations drafted over 100 years ago. Because, well, they know better.

Here's a thought. These people, these professional politicians, these people who are supposed to be our representatives but really aren't, have made it their lifetime career choice to know how to tap dance around the laws of the land. They know all the loop holes and how to skirt around the law when they decide it's inconvenient to whatever agenda they are pursing.

No, this is unrelated, if the discussion happens to evolve and have similarities to other topics, that is the nature of debate.

Haven't figured that out yet. I do know that I see the liberal progressive movement as a dangerous ideology that will erode our liberties in preference for a larger, more reaching government until any 1984 metaphor's are an undeniable cold hard reality.

Govt will never do the right thing, if they did, they would lose elections.

I had the Dems, but the GOP is no better.

Yeah I agree, neither party is really a winner. You know, i used to trust the government implicitly. I couldn't conceive of it ever doing wrong to the American people. Now i find myself questioning everything it does. I also find myself siding with the republican's right now mainly because of the old "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing. On that note, I really wish the GOP would get it's crap together because it's the only counter to the Democrats, who are running amok, to put it plainly.

I think the GOP is on a downward spiral, and while I am no big fan, I don't want that. Kind of fumy really, at one point i was OK with just one party being in charge of most of the government because then at least things would get done. No more gridlock. What has gone on in the last year or three has shown me the just how naive that way thinking is. Now, i shudder at the thought of a government dominated by the Democrats with no other alternative. If the GOP keeps their downward spiral and becomes all but ineffective, and nothing comes up to fill that power vacuum, a dictatorial system is exactly what we're gonna have, and the resulting government will be disturbing to put it politely.

You are screwed no matter which "team" you choose.

They serve the same masters, the moneyed.

Our politicians will never risk anything to lose their jobs, they will never take a controversial view, they will never defend the little man vs the big banks/donors.


We are rubes, and they are they carnys...

America is bought and paid for, which is why there is so much ire towards our guns, corporations want to finish us off so we become full corporate controlled fascist.



My proof, steal 1000$ = go to prison 5 plus years.

Steal a billion $= Get interest free loans from the Federal Reserve. (and further allow them the powers of economical destruction, that got us here)

Washington Times? Isn't that the newspaper founded by Dr. Sun Myun Moon, head of the Unification Church, whose followers are known better as "Moonies"?...

Ya think so? the god of Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat, says differently..From my long rigid, turgid, rifle. Killing paper, one round at a time. Ask Piers Morgan how dangerous people like me are.

Unless they do something silly, like ban firearms from legal owners....I am sure that will keep them out of the hands of criminals.


Not like the thugs do not have any, of course they don't. Law abiders...all of them!

From the article...

It’s a cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario.

The article is a choppy patchwork of doctrinal jargon and liberal nightmare.

The vision is hard to take seriously

This is a dark, pessimistic and wrongheaded view of what military leaders should spend their time studying.

So Bubblehead1980, what was your point?
