Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial[W:793:1010:1190]

Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

My own thoughts on this, and on the other related incidents surrounding the issue of government shutdown, is that it would be so nice if everyone could just get a grip, and stop acting like hysterical children. My God, is all this drama really what we as a nation have come to? It's embarrassing as hell to me.
I'll second that one. For the love of Pete only 17% of the government is currently shut down.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

For thier next performance, maybe they will cut funding for the meals on wheels program in the morning, then in the afternoon they could go hand out food to the poor.

They wouldn't actually give the poor food. Instead they'd have a rally to highlight how hungry the poor is now that the government isn't providing food.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Palin is an idiot and shouldn't be in charge of anything more than the recipe for ice cubes.

I was watching the Food Chanel, did you know that 78% of all Americans don't know the proper way of filling an ice tray and making ice cubes ?
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

There's no such thing as a "Commander AND Chief." Just a helping hand, because it's hard to take someone seriously when they get that wrong every time.

Of course, the righty Palin-slurpers had to jump in and defend their Messiah.

It's actually "Commander in Chief."

And it's true, there hasn't been a competent Cn'C of the U.S. military since 2008.

And Palin could have a photo op of handing a can of soup to a hungry person that someone gave to her to give to him.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

I bet you'd both be saying something very different if these were leftwrong-wing politicians showing up to support a similar protest against some alleged right-wing abuse.

I wouldn't Bob and I'm no fan of the left for the most part. Politicians use events like these that deserve to stand on their own right. I don't want to see politicians getting headlines for something a group of vets did. They (Cruz and Palin) were just there to rub a little hero onto themselves.

You've got your apostrophe in the wrong place then.

It was well before 2008, but since Bush was in office until 2009 at which point did he become incompetent, in your opinion?

"Of course it is. It's only programs like Head Start, the FDA (food inspections), Meals on Wheels, WIC, the Center for Disease Control, etc, etc, that are shut down. We don't need these programs, right?"

Is any of that even true? Head Start, Meals on Wheels run off local and state funding, the CDC rightfully belongs in the emergency services exemption, same with WIC under essential services. As for food inspection, it's obviously still going on otherwise food wouldn't be getting to the stores.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

I saw a lot of tea party flags there at the protest and I started laughing because it was the tea party who wanted to shut down the government in the first place.

Maybe they are confuse like these guys.

...78%? Wow! That's probably why gas stations make money by selling those bags of ice! Besides, who has the 45 seconds it takes to fill an ice cube tray at home? :giggle1:

Sarah Palin is still around??? That's cute.

At least there weren't any "Free Mumia!" signs. :mrgreen:

I suspect that Mumia Abu-Jamal may have been guilty, but didn't get a fair trial. If he really is guilty, why is anyone opposed to a new trial? Won't the evidence bear out what they've been saying all along?

I also have a problem with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel signs at a lot of liberal rallies. They ignore the fact that the people oppressing the Palestinians are not the Israeli government, but their own leaders. If I were one of this nation's leading liberal voices, I'd say, "Stop supporting the Palestinian thugs. Support Israel. It doesn't mean you have to support Netanyahu." (Don't get me started on him: He is unworthy to lead a great nation. Or any nation.)
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Did anyone see Harry Klayman on CNN? Suggested to Obama to put down the Koran and get out of the White House. Who is he anyway?
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Just freedom loving Americans waving around Confederate flags at war memorials....

There was flag...grow up!

There was an Obamabot waving a Soviet flag on election night.

Are you suggesting that I should hire Kobie to proof read every post I post ?
He say's he's a proof reader by profession and I have no reason to challenge him on that.

Get a life and don't nick-pic at everyone's post when you can't come up with a valid argument to support your views.

Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Democrats will get arrested, supporting illegal aliens--criminals--but won't stand up for our veterans.

Purdy much says it all...

Good morning Polgara from the Left Coast. :2wave:

I remember when I was in the 7th grade when this girl stood up in the class room saying how dumb boys were, that they didn't even know how to even cook a hot dog.

Back during that era, during the 7th and 8th grade all boys were required to take two years of shop classes and girls two years of home economics.

You know what, she was right, most boys didn't know how to properly cook a hot dog.

It's the sympathy factor for us, to reminiscent of our own equipment. :mrgreen:
