View Full Version : The end of bipartisanship - GOOD!!!
"I am appalled at their ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric filled with empty emotional platitudes.

At this point we need extreme (radical?) solutions to our financial problems. Bipartisanship will not get us there. I am not interested in a compromise of the debt only going up by $400 bn per year instead of $500 bn per year.
The freshman Congressman quoted above is top notch.
Here is another good quote:
“We’re Witnessing the Abject Hostility of a Unionized Entitlement Class Lauded by the Liberal Left Including Obama”

I hope good guys like Allen West can make a difference. Wish we had more like him. I hope it doesn't have to happen, but sometimes I think the only solution to saving the Republic as we know it is the one thing we've been taught to fear the most. This country is like the Titanic. While the ship sinks, the passengers are numb and the crew is fighting amongst themselves what to do. Meanwhile the ship continues to sink and the band play ons.
Nothing is going to change until the last dollar is spent, and there's no more coming in, Then and only then will the reality of the situation set in...and I don't think that day is too far off....What's happening up in WI is just the start..There's a trainwreck coming,(IMO) and it's going to make the crash of '29 look mild...
That's fine and dandy, but in congress one person doesn't make a difference.
Why people get excited by this stuff is beyond me. When you have a majority saying the same shit than I'll care.

He ain't off to a great start, supported the extension of the Patriot Act.

I second your emotion.

Come one now, how could any freedom loving guy not support something that has the word patriot in it...
Edit: A number of tea party big shots voted yes on the reauthorization of the three provisions. :\

Thirded.
You know, it sounds all well and good to demand a government shutdown if they don't agree to a proper budget, but it falls apart in the specifics.
For example, I have a friend who works in the state department as an analyst. She puts in 50-60 hours per week on a regular basis, for a 40-hour salary. Now she's looking at not getting paid for some time, while her mortgage (a one-bedroom condo) and other bills keep on coming. Is that fair? Not every government worker is a lazy, fat asshole from the DMV. There are lots of hard-working, dedicated personnel who are doing their best to serve their country. Painting them all with the 'wasteful government bureaucrat' brush is dishonest and unfair.
At the very least, they need to pass legislation that, in the event a budget can't be reached in time, then a Continuing Resolution at the previous fiscal year's budget is automatically passed, if only to keep things moving. Simply stripping out funding from EVERYTHING because the two sides can't reach a compromise is retarded.

I'll go as far as to say that I think it's counter-intuitive for most to see the Patriot act as we do ("we" being Constitutionalist and Libertarian types). I'm outraged that they passed the extension, but I can honestly see why they might. I'm not supporting it or watering down the utter stupidity of doing so, I'm just saying that to those who haven't read or don't understand the Constitution and are more concerned with safety instead of liberty, it makes sense for them to do what they did.
Going forward, I'll personally be letting them know they won't be getting my vote again. I voted them in because they said they believed in returning our country to what the Constitution outlines. I'll be voting them out because they proved they don't.

Most of your GD posts belong on a blog, not a technically oriented gun forum. You're preaching to the choir for the most part here and on a blog, you would have to do more analysis and discussion than you do here.
So yeah, you're overdoing it and need a blog.

Feel free to vote with your feet gentlemen.
By the way, GD is generally for non-gun posts, as gun posts go in the other forums.

I've paid my membership dues and can say what I want within reason. The fact that you have a few senior guys telling you the same thing is called a clue.
Have I said something that is not within reason?
Honestly 500 its just too much saturation for GD. I realize that General Discussion is for non gun related topics but for one person to be posting that many threads it does get a little tiring man. I agree with the majority of what you post but I do get weary of the political threads. My two cents.....in short (my opinion) just don't post as many political threads. As Lewbowski stated, preaching to the choir brother.

How can we tell? You post so much stuff in GD that it's like trying to drink from a firehose.
Please, give it a rest.

You average over three threads per page on the first three pages of GD. Most of those threads die an early death because the original post is typically short and just rehashing what was said in the last one so there isn't much to respond to. It tends to just clutter things up.
If starting a blog doesn't blow your skirt up, maybe just start posting this stuff in "500grains Ultimate I Hate Muslims, Minorities, and Liberals Thread" and that way all of it would be consolidated into one area and since all of the topics are pretty much the same, they can all be discussed with minimal interruption and duplicate thoughts being expressed again and again in every thread.

Too wordy. Try naming it "500grain's Ultimate I Hate ****ing Everything Thread".
