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

Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

I think it's shameful for any politician to try and use veterans as political pawns. There is no politician that speaks for me as a veteran.

Ya, that part I agree with you... it is shameful to use this situation for political gain. (There is a chance that they did simply want to support that cause, but odds of that are slim)

What really disgusted me was the likes of Rachel Maddow who went and said that these veterens attacked the riot cops at the whitehouse, using edited video, where the full clip showed that the cop pushed the vet and the 70+ year old vet shoved the cop right back... and wow, the look of fear in those cops eyes at the prospect of being pushed back... goes to show the level of cowardice of some of these cops now.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

This is where the American education had led them. It seems leftists must outstupid each other in order to gain creds of some sort.

American education is to blame for Michele Bachmann's hiding in the bushes?
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

The misogyny of the left is relentless.:peace

It's not misogynistic to think Michele Bachmann is insane. That's just people with a grasp on reality.

I challenge you now to say something nice about Hillary Clinton. If you criticize her, you're a sexist. See how stupid that sounds?
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Why? The government is not a household and should not be managed as such.

True. The government is not a household. And true. It should not be managed like a household.

It is a government. And it should be managed like a government should be managed. If it is not? Well it succumbs to the laws of economics and the people hurt. One of those laws is that it becomes tough to pay the interest on debt, if the government has a lot of debt.

Many governments have had this happen to them.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

yea, there are differences, but my analogy is still on point...they BOTH still deployed riot police to disperse citizens protesting what government was doing. What they did after is very different. The point, in case you didnt get it, was who the heck made the decision in government to send out riot police to stop a bunch of 80 & 90 year old WWII vets? This is how Communist China would and did react and our government just did the same damn thing to us.

Yeah, there are HUGE differences that makes the analogy stupid.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

LOL! You're rapidly becoming the symbol of the low information voter. Palin had an 80% approval rating in Alaska and Barry has a current 37% approval rating. Is accuracy or perspective simply not important to leftists?

I'm glad 8 out of the 10 people who live in Alaska liked Sarah Palin.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

That makes it about 25, right?

Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Obama is getting what he wants, that European Socialist model with a dependent society managed by liberals. There is an old adage that you never bite the hand that feeds you and that would be liberalism if Obama has his way. We are close now.

I am very much afraid you might be right.

This literally makes no sense.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

This literally makes no sense.

Of course not because you believe what you want to believe. Economic results mean nothing to you. I suggest as soon as BEA.gov, BLS.gov, and the U.S. Treasury data becomes available you start researching those sites to get the data that you want to ignore. Feel free to post data that refutes that which I have posted. High debt, high unemployment, stagnant economic growth, millions and millions on taxpayer assistance, labor force not keeping up with population growth. Want me to go on? Doubt it is worth the effort because obviously you have no idea what is going on in Europe.

Hillary has had a sound, if unremarkable, career. The left's relentless attacks on women and African Americans who stray from liberal orthodoxy forms a pattern of special animus.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Veteran's come from many different parties. By the politicians showing up, it makes a statement for all the veterans. A statement they may or may not agree with. They are there to protest the closing of the memorials, not assign blame to one party or another.

In my opinion, the politicians showing up cheapened what the vets were trying to do.

The vets don't need a politician yapping their mouth for the photo op. I think the event would have made more of a statement if a WWII vet got up to speak to the news media. We don't need a Hollywood celeb or a attention starved politician speaking for the vets.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Palin never gets attacked on her policies because she doesn't have any. She has catchphrases. "Smaller government, less spending, socialism bad!" Those aren't policies.

Bachmann gets attacked as a human being because she's nuts.

No, they'll get attacked because they are women who dare to be Republican, just as Republican Blacks are attacked.

Leftists claim to be supportive of woman and Blacks but only as an electoral base, and will bribe both with public money in order to maintain that base. Of course claiming that there is a War on Women, or that Republicans are racist, is their single most important strategy - and the poorly informed buy into it..

Blacks and women are their base so they can't have either stray far from the plantation. That's why leftists attack any of their base who tries to break free from it.

Because Cons are SO nice to women who are Democrats. I can't tell you how many times they've said "Wow, that Nancy Pelosi is great" or "Barbara Boxer is a wonderful Senator." :roll:

This charge is as idiotic as the "Critcize Obama = racism" charge. Congratulations, you rank right up there in the pantheon with a whole bunch of Liberals.

Both have been attacked for their policies, or saying lawmakers must pass a bill before they can read it, and for which the country is still suffering today. Barbara Boxer receives less criticism than Pelosi and rightly so it seems. But those criticisms tend to be against their policies, not generalizations.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

False equivalency.

Do you not get that it's partisan? The reason the left doesn't like women and blacks who are Republicans is in the second part of the equation, not the first. They don't really like white men who are Republicans either. A reasonable conclusion would be that they don't like Republicans, but that's apparently above the heads of some.

However, that wasn't what you said, but I see your point..

Sure, it is but Liberals go with their feelings and use a different part of their brain than conservatives. They can't help it. They must protect their beliefs no matter how spurious they might be. They often, but not always, grow out of it as their brain matures.

They only like and accept people of their own tribe and if you reject the tribe it is personal, not political. Is that pretty much it?

That would explain part of it but not the venom directed at those who might hold different political positions. It's almost feral sometimes.

You speak more and say little more than most people here. How about taking the partisan blinders off and see what is going on in this country. Challenges to conservative women are personal whereas challenges to Liberal women and minorities are based upon factual data that you want to ignore. "You have to pass the bill in order to see what is in it" is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a politician say but in your world that isn't worthy of a challenge.

This is factual?

In my world? Well, it's true I don't live in a world where Republicans' **** doesn't stink, but really you are topping yourself...

If a Republican said that, you'd be defending him to the death and you know it.
