Plan B Forum

1. Deficits don't matter.

2. "Immigration Reform" is necessary to provide humanitarian help to the eleven million hard-working people who are "living in the shadows."

3. Supporting teachers' unions = supporting education.

4. The "war on poverty" helps the poor; "Headstart" works.

5. High income defines you as "rich," and "fortunate." Corollary: The "rich" never pay "enough" in taxes, because they are greedy and selfish.

6. Obamacare will not increase healthcare costs for the employed middle-class, nor wlll it hurt small businesses.

7. HRC was a "great" Secretary of State.

8. Hiring an ever-increasing number of goverment employees is good for the economy.

9. The U.S. economy is "recovering."

10. President Obama and the Democrats in Congress "saved" the American auto industry.

11. The Senate has not passed a budget for the past three years because...they were too busy?

12. Anthropogenic "global warming" has resulted in dramatic increases in droughts, tropical storms, earthquakes, tsumami's, skin cancer, and halitosis.

Yannow I was waiting in line at Crapola-Foods across the street. I can't tell you how many times I've seen persons younger than I using an EBT card. Disgusting.

Lazy-good -for nothing -leeches, I say!

Anyway that's my rant for today Feb. 4th 2013 a date that will surely live in infamy.

Straw men are just so much fun to knock down, aren't they?

Being someone who lives in Farmingville NY (google it you will see how idiots have handled illegal immigration) and has voiced his opinion on this to anyone who would listen (my ex county exec Steve Levy became a close ally) I have to say one thing.

While they (illegal immigrants) might be willing to be given a status of "residency" of the USA enabling them to whatever that entails, they are not willing to submit to residency checks and would rather remain "off the books" as $100 a day off the books (going rate) is better than $150 a day on the books. And the emergency rooms are always open regardless of immigration status.

A manufacturer of fine furniture I know in Glen Cove had more than a few aliens (legal) working for him. They had health care and vacations and sick days. When a "labor site" went up near his factory his aliens all up and quit. They didn't care about health care and vacations and sick time, just how much they could make an hour off the books.

Oh lighten up scoots.

Don't you even have the minimal amount of humour required to be a poster here?

Famously said by that notorious liberal, Dick Cheney.

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of this horseshit.

But bless your heart, Dave.

It's just more dgs49 ....

Andrew - did you really need to post that?

ETA: during lunch no less, I'm on a diet!

My sentiments exactly...

We could have lived without that....

Just another thread for dgs49 to make a bunch of outlandish claims and then run away from when he gets hammered down with facts.

So, any chance of ever getting clarification on your claim that marriage should be able to result in procreation? And why you are fine with infertile couples marrying, but against same-sex marriages despite the exactly equal chance of either group having a child through normal means?

Hammered down with facts?

I must have missed them.

The one, half assed response about deficits is totally vacuous. Anyone who is even passingly aware of Democrats' position on the issues is aware that Barry COMPLETELY OMITTED ANY MENTION of DEBT or the DEFICIT in his inaugural. And one might note that the godfather of Dem economics today - I won't even mention his damnable name - is still whining that the deficits are too low - not ENOUGH GOVERNMENT SPENDING! My first point is absolutely representative of Progressive thought on the deficit today.

24 hours and counting, and not a single substantive comment. I guess this constitutes me "running away."

A substantive comment to what? An OP full of ridiculous strawmen? You have become a parody of yourself, which at least means you have entertainment value. But substance? Render unto me a break.

If you claim the sky is green, and nobody bothers to argue against you, that doesn't mean the sky is green. It means you're so far wrong that there's no starting point to start arguing with you.
