Their means of providing these is printing money, stealing from the unborn with borrowing, and taking from the productive to give to the parasites.

“Democratic party, the party of illegal aliens, criminals, union thugs, and lazy moochers.  The Dems literally buy their votes from these repulsive groups.  Their economic plan consists exclusively of handouts, stimulus, bailouts, and give-aways.  Their means of providing these is printing money, stealing from the unborn with borrowing, and taking from the productive to give to the parasites.”  Unknown Blogger.

 

 

If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. Obama

Here’s what President Obama said:

“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something backIf you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

The right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police. Rapper Ice-T

Ice-T defends the Second Amendment and Constitution:

Ice-T: Well, I’ll give up my gun when everybody does. Doesn’t that make sense? If there were guns here, would you want to be the only person without one?
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, anchor, Channel 4 News: So do you carry guns routinely at home?
Ice-T: Yeah, it’s legal in the United States. It’s part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police.
Anchor: And do you see any link between that and these sorts of incidents (Aurora)?
Ice-T: No. Nah. Not really really. You know what I’m saying, if somebody wants to kill people, you know, they don’t need a gun to do it.
Anchor: It makes it easier though, doesn’t it?
Ice-T: Not really. You can strap explosives on your body, they do that all the time.

Since 1970, the public school workforce has roughly doubled

… Since 1970, the public school workforce has roughly doubled—to 6.4 million from 3.3 million—and two-thirds of those new hires are teachers or teachers’ aides. Over the same period, enrollment rose by a tepid 8.5%. Employment has thus grown 11 times faster than enrollment. If we returned to the student-to-staff ratio of 1970, American taxpayers would save about $210 billion annually in personnel costs. …  WSJ.

ABCNEWS – Obama says ObamaCare is NOT a tax, Supreme Court let’s it survive as a tax:

STEPHANOPOULOS:  You were against the individual mandate…

OBAMA:  Yes.

STEPHANOPOULOS:  …during the campaign.  Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?

OBAMA:  Well, hold on a second, George. Here — here’s what’s happening.  You and I are both paying $900, on average — our families — in higher premiums because of uncompensated care.  Now what I’ve said is that if you can’t afford health insurance, you certainly shouldn’t be punished for that.  That’s just piling on. If, on the other hand, we’re giving tax credits, we’ve set up an exchange, you are now part of a big pool, we’ve driven down the costs, we’ve done everything we can and you actually can afford health insurance, but you’ve just decided, you know what, I want to take my chances.  And then you get hit by a bus and you and I have to pay for the emergency room care, that’s…

STEPHANOPOULOS:  That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.

OBAMA:  No.  That’s not true, George.  The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.

“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” Obama

“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” – President Obama, June 12, 2012

 

The President is right, it doesn’t take many characters to say things like “Freedom vs Socialism, the choice is clear.”  The concept of freedom has been around for centuries, while the power-hungry always search for ways to hold on to their power.
