Grand Old Party in the 21st. Century (Thanks for nothing)

Breaking news the GOP are the real socialists. Let's just look at some of the socialist programs you love to support. And me too.
1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.
Don't be ashamed to call yourself what you are GOP.
And whom clam the love the police more then anything.
Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?
And of course our brave men and women some true Hero's Fire Dept. - Hopefully you have never had a fire in your home. But if you have, you probably called your local taxpayer-funded fire department to put the fire out. Like police, this is state socialism. You tax dollars are used to rescue your entire community in case of a fire. It use to be set up where you would pay a fee every month to the fire dept. for their service. If you didn't pay, they let your house burn down. Sadly, a man from Tennessee had this exact situation happen to him in 2011 because he didn't pay his $75.00 fee. I guess that small town in Tennessee would rather let people's houses burn down that resort to evil socialism. So don't take for granted the fact that you have a 24/7 fire dept. to put out your burning home thanks to socialism.
But seems to me you wanna be like Russia now uh?

Nice try, but common services are not socialism. Let me know when the GOP advocates state ownership of the means of production. Then you might have something.
 
Talk about making our government look weak.


Well something needs to be done. Not for a political party , not for the poor , not for the rich but for Americans and America.:peace
 
For the rich it only makes a difference because the government has been spending and spends too much on medical services. But that would worry every American that took the time and made the effort to understand it.

Just a hint on the government spending, what does the government spend it's money "that it gets from taxpayers " on.
A short list.
740 MILLION IN BAILOUTS FOR PRIVATE CORPORATIONS GOVERNMENT SPENDING
RESEARCH GRANTS FOR PRIVATE CORPORATIONS GOVERNMENT SPENDING
TAX CUTS FOR PRIVATE CEOS THAT ARE BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES GOVERNMENT SPENDING
That in itself is a chunk of change.
What did the American people get in return?
Better paying jobs NO
More job opportunities NO
More tax revenue NO
More help for vets, working poor, poor and elderly NO

IN THE BAILOUTS OF 2008 740 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS WENT TO BAILOUT PRIVATE COMPANIES ,
From that American taxpayers, American government did not even get a news conference saying thank you.
There has been a pattern going on between the rich elite and the average Americans down the rich get more money the average down gets budget cuts no explanation.

It has been said that America needs tax payer money I agree, however outsourcing jobs drains taxpayer money .
This is not an economic spin deal it is simply math .
Every paycheck any working American gets has taxes taken out automatically if you don't have enough deductions at the end of the year you have to pay more income taxes.
Millions of people lost their jobs to outsourcing in Michigan that's one state , being generous lets say $5 taken out of each check goes to tax revenue a week that's 15 million dollars a week going to tax revenue. Cheap foreign labor does not pay taxes nether do they buy American products which would create more sales tax across America:peace

More like Fascism than Socialism.:peace

Everybody says ANY Socialist program is considered weak or bad.

If this is true why does America "a Capitalist country" owe China "a Socialist, Communist country" 1.5 billion dollars?
The last I heard it was 93 million + but with interest you know?:peace
 
GOP time to get real before something really bad happens. Tell your president to stop lying and start creating jobs for the coal miners.
 
And that was MY ship he was on (the USS Abraham Lincoln) when that picture was taken - and I was SO grateful that I'd already retired and didn't have to be on that particular deployment, if for no other reason than I didn't have to bow-and-scrape to him when he came aboard. But I wanted so much to yell at him, "Get the hell off MY ship!"

That isn't your ship, it's the taxpayers.

It's the United States' ship. It was never your ship.

Once, after Lyndon Johnson was concluded a visit to a base in Vietnam, he was moving toward an aircraft to depart. The Lt. escorting him said, "No, Mr. President, your aircraft is over there." LBJ's reply: "Son, they're all my aircraft."
 
The Democrats' Ditch Is Only Getting Deeper
Ed Rogers, Washington Post

Democrats in Congress are digging themselves a ditch that keeps getting deeper. There’s no good fight to be had on Judge Neil Gorsuch, they’re getting steamrolled on repealing and replacing Obamacare, and their base has lurched to the far left, fully outside their grasp. The result? An out-of-touch leadership that can’t stop babbling. And for all the Trump administration’s miscues, Democrats haven’t laid a glove on the president. They couldn’t appear any weaker. . . .

How'd that steamrolling on Repeal and Replace go?

SIX Justices have been confirmed for the USSC during a presidential election year, the last being current Justice Kennedy. So much for that Grand Old Pile of ****.

Let McConnell finish his destruction of the Senate .

Those six justices weren't confirmed when the opposition held the Senate.

Ah an old quote from Johnson .True he kinda misquoted there but he was from Texas so pretty much everything he said was my this and my that.

However, I tend to be more concerned with the current quotes from the now existing President Trump like this one.
"Our health care didn't pass so we are not going to try to fix the current health care plan we'll just wait until it implodes and then explodes"
That's kinda like saying if you don't like our health care bill you can't have a good heath care bill or like a foreman coming to your house and saying don't put any water on it let it burn down.:peace
 
Proud of this move too GOP?


Well I saw that being signed on T.V..
I might have a couple of corrections for President Trump, since I grew up in Eastern Kentucky "coal country".
1. There's no such thing as clean coal it's dirty I know I grew up in a house that burned it.
2. I never met a man "coal miner or not" yet that said I want to go to a hole in the ground to dig coal, had to to feed his family but want to , don't think so.
3 I have met families that lost love ones to the mines cave in's and black lung.
4. If the president does not know what strip mining does to the land look it up.

On a side note the biggest industry that got hit by outsourcing was manufacturing where are those jobs?

The president did say that Ford was going to build new plants maybe this is true .
However although I can not speak for other states but the people of Michigan who lost houses, had to take a lower paying job because of outsourcing have little trust in American auto companies:peace
 
Why do you suppose so many Democrats and Republicans voted for the Iraq Resolution when everyone knew the intel was not to be trusted?



Because they were out of touch with reality.

The only nation that gained anything from Bush's war in Iraq was Iran which is mighty glad that Bush put their Shia brothers in charge in Iraq.
 
"Timmy did it first." is a poor excuse for bad behavior.Check with your mama on this.

:lol:

There is an easy way to stop this trend of "Timmy did it first" , a little thing called RESPONSIBILITY.
Although it is true Responsibility went on the endangered list some time ago, almost extinct now. There may be some in society that can't remember exactly how it should work , some out here still remember responsibility and deal with it every day, or bills would not get paid, work would not get done American retail sales would go down,American parts would take a second place to foreign parts, trash would build up,credit cards would not be worth the plastic they are printed on. and the great capitalist corporate machine would fall on dire straights:peace

I do agree with you on that post the pre-invasion of Iraq was not necessary.
However, I can not understand why it was passed in the first place.
Being a drafted vet myself you learn things like the civilian way the military way.
Civilian way there are Cong weapons in a bunker, call in an artillery strike.
Military way way confirm , confirm , confirm , everything in the military has to be confirmed.
So I have a question , Who confirmed the WMD'S in Iraq?
I mean you have to go through the chain of command , so who's at the top of the chain of command?:peace
 

Flynn comments on Clinton's staff asking for immunity.
Quote;" One dose not ask for immunity unless one has committed a crime "
There has been a lot of talk about Flynn's contact with the Russians .
Perhaps this is true perhaps there was no colution with the Russians.
However, the one thing that is overlooked by News Channels and other sources, is the fact that Flynn while under oath lied to the Vice President of the United States. Unless I'm mistaken that is purgery , which is in fact a crime.:peace
