My own manifesto

[Dawg]

so he throws like a girl, I'd have been more impressed if he actually knew the names..any name of a player and pronounced the name of the park correctly....

no, you're lying. You've long shown that nothing the guy does, from calmly talking the nation back from the brink of financial disaster, to actually attempting to create a better political atmosphere, to the freaking White House Easter Egg Roll, is going to change your mind. It was made up in early 2008, ain't going to change, and please, don't try say otherwise.

That statement, right there, is so absurd, so beyond linear thinking it would require the complete utter dissolution of even casual observation to accept, fuckall, to even attempt to accept it.

You really believe we have been brought back from the brink of financial disaster?
When, and IF he does ONE thing that is in line with what I have come to expect of the presidents we've had since I've been voting, I'll be the first one to point it out. Initially I even cheered his drilling proposal until I realized it was purely a political move designed to help Dems this fall.
Saying nationally "I dont have the facts, but the police acted stupidly". Calling out citizens BY name (never done before) what he is doing right now is designed to create a better political atmosphere??
Parading politicians supporting the Health Care bill thru a crowd of protesters when theres A TUNNEL just for that purpose, just to hopefully get a sound bite of someone yelling hateful things is "calming"?
gethefuckout
I am quite grateful you are in the ever growing minority of those who think this president is doing an "acceptable" job. I do find hope in the polls that show the chosen one is being questioned finally instead of blindly accepting him.

I'm done arguing with liberals or pretending like if I debate them and discuss each of their points in a logical and respectful way they will give my points some thought....much in the same way I thought about their points. And in part, it was listening to people like some of the moonbats here why I realized bush -his last two years really were crap. Yet when I agree with bushes failure its not noted?

But liberals aren't interested in listening and it just so happens to turn out that I am just very different from you and these people and there is no common ground left between us.

Slick your posts read like manifesto's . Every single item is an attack on individual liberty based on a messed up morality fostered by dumbass liberalism.
And not just this thread but any and all political/fiscal points in the last 8 years!
As to the out of country limp wristed panty wringers who wont miss a beat to complain about our country when theirs is in far worse shape can kiss my ass.
There are some class acts here I respect, both stateside and out of country...you know who you are. The rest of ya...well, good luck.
I started to link, but realized toast just popped up, and my interest has waned radically.

I hear ya Dawg. You can reply to the lefties here all you like, they reply with "you're wrong" or "you're lying". Then you post your proof or response then it's deathly silent or there's a change (misdirection) with their responses. It's typical Liberal tactics and frankly it gets old bitch slapping these guys with the truth cuz they just don't get it. I've stopped a long time ago posting links or anything else cuz it doesn't matter how much sense you make or how much you prove them wrong, they're still standing there saying the Emperor is wearing clothes. It's a joke. Err, they are. The so-called financial problem we ended up in is a direct result of the Dems (incorrectly) thinking that everyone should own a home. Regardless of their income. So they further deregulate the financial industry and then they say we need to prop up these companies because they're failing. Most of the lefties here that are old enuf to have been adults in the 80's with the Savings and Loan debacle were too stoned or too drunk to pay attention about how Reagan handled that situation. It was as bad for the economy back then as this latest situation was. But Reagan sent his bean counters in to evaluate every single institution and he allowed the ones that were too stupid to handle their business to crash and burn. The country didn't falter, it came back and the housing industry boomed at the end of Reagan's tenure. I know, I worked in the industry. I was making 22 bux an hour in 1988 at the age of 24. Not bad for a blue collar worker at that time.

But as usual the Dems' attitude is throw money at it, make government larger and put them in control. The egos of those in power still amaze me, they think that the common man cannot fend for himself. And they may be right. Welfare recipients are going on 5 generations deep and the entitlement attitude of many of the youngsters today is amazing. So much for working your ass off to better yourself. Now they wanna know what's in it for them. Plus they're much less book smart than the kids of yesteryear. The political correctness in public schools has forced the three R's (not to be confused with the 3 H's) into a secondary or tertiary importance. Now it's more important to tell every child they're special. Fact is, they aren't. One in a thousand is, maybe. Then these kids grow up and expect their bosses to treat them how they've been treated as a student. There's plenty of stuff posted on the net about experiences from employers and how today's kids are less prepared for the work force. Liberals have foisted all this bullshit upon the people thinking that it will make things better. It's done quite the opposite. Everyone has heard of tough love. It's not pretty and it makes those dishing it out feel bad but overall it's good for the ones receiving it. That's something that the left has forgotten. Then again, most of the lefties I know are pussies and couldn't figure out which end of a screwdriver is the handle. It's a shame, the left is fucking up the kids and their legacy with more taxes and more spending. This country doesn't have a chance unless people start speaking up. Which they are. About half of the lefties I know are dissatisfied with Barry's performance in the White House. I'm sure it's lots less on the east coast where men just aren't the same as they used to be. But I think that once Barry has fuxored things up but good the people will rise up and do what needs to be done. Hopefully the uprising will be at the polls. I don't want my America to go down the road we did in '76.

Then you post your proof....

The problem with Dawg is that he can't tell the difference between "proof" and "opinion".

Oh wait, neither can you.

Is that your "opinion> R_D? or is that your "proof" ?

I smell Crayons....

mixed with the smell of sour grapes and whine......

[callmeslick]

now to respond to this tripe:

You really believe we have been brought back from the brink of financial disaster?

yes, I do. Because, a few folks who work in NYC that I trust implicitly about such things(one, an investment banker, the other two in corporate finance) have given me ample proof that one not one, but two weekends in 2008/9, the nation was scary-close to having NO functional banking system. Obama's role in helping that out? Sort of complex, but I see it like this. As a candidate, he didn't fuel the panic. As a President-elect, he functionally was given the reins to the nation by the Bush admin, and had to lead without benefit of large
numbers of staff. The second major crisis came while he was in office, a few weeks in, and he handled it
quietly and calmly. In none of those cases, do I feel he did anything dramatic, he just showed quiet, calm leadership, and helped talk the nation down from panic mode. History, I think, will show exactly how well he did.

But liberals aren't interested in listening and it just so happens to turn out that I am just very different from you and these people and there is no common ground left between us.

utter nonsense. You, of all folks, ought to be well aware that I both listen to opposite points of view, always read the links, and in some cases alter my views. At worst, I've spent many posts on here and elsewhere agreeing to disagree. The cornerstone of all of that is that I firmly believe most of us have much common ground. What frightens me is the number of self-proclaimed conservatives(who aren't, really) that claim 'no common ground' with liberals/progressives. What seems to be the case, is that they are getting to not see 'common ground' with most moderates, and have painted themselves into a tight, ideological corner.
So be it, let them whither away.

Slick your posts read like manifesto's . Every single item is an attack on individual liberty based on a messed up morality fostered by dumbass liberalism. And not just this thread but any and all political/fiscal points in the last 8 years!

uh-huh. Every single item?? Like when I ranted about loss of freedom via eminent domain? Or, the ruling that allowed corporations to control elections?? How does that work for the individual? Once again, a load of bullshit viewed through Dawg's personal colored glasses. Again, I'll claim bullshit.

Sad to see, Dawg, that you've turned into yet another whiner, when the political tide turned against you.
Run away little boy, and take solace in your pals in the Pub. We'll see you next time you pop in to report back......

Another "Slick" opinion, fingerpainted as a factual comment......Yawn...boring....
