Country ALWAYS comes first...

Well, of the things we're discussing..

For me, personally, FAMILY comes first..

And everyone else is terrorists, right? If we're not with 'ya, we're against ya?

You mean, like Democrats who claim Republicans are "terrorists", "arsonists" or "hostage takers"???

Don't tell me.. Let me guess...

"That's different"...

I hate to break it to you, Michale, but it's just as much my country as it is yours.

Then why not work for the betterment of the COUNTRY rather than the betterment of only the Democrat part of the country???

And , our country would have been better off if we hadn't gotten into those idiotic expensive wars which won us nothing. We'd of been better off if we'd of focused on the terrorists.

And yet, your Democrats plunged headlong into those wars right along with Republicans..

Yet, you only hold Republicans accountable...

Why is that???

Michale

So when it's your issue, country somehow comes first?

And everyone else is terrorists, right? If we're not with 'ya, we're against ya?

Sheesh ... where have I heard this before?

"Russian soldiers have started shooting at Ukrainian servicemen and that is a war crime."

Soldiers shooting at enemy soldiers is a "war crime"???

Who knew!?

Michale

Obama was trained by ACORN...

Putin was trained by the KGB....

:^/

Michale

Looks like we're going to have boots on the ground in the TOP....

Any red lines yet, people??

Michale

And the first name on your list was a Republican.. :D

Especially since Republicans have done nothing since 2008 except bash Obama in order to elect more Republicans.

And Democrats did nothing BEFORE 2008 and SINCE 2008 but bash Bush in order to elect more Democrats..

Bush, incidentally, put Country before Party in the prosecution of the war on terrorism...

Democrats sided with Al Qaeda because it suited their political agenda..

None of these facts are in dispute, Mr President!!!"

I think you're the most conservative "independent" I've ever met :)

Depends on the subject matter.. :D

Harry Reid

Nancy Pelosi

Barack Obama

And anyone else who puts PARTY before Country...

Michale

Yep. First we need to get rid of John Kasich, former Lehman Brothers executive and architect of the 1% budget.

Then we need to unelect all of the state reps who decimated the Ohio budget in order to provide a tax break to the 1%.

Did you have someone else in mind?

-David

If this does occur, then a shooting war with Russia is all but certain.

AHHHHHHH

*THAT* explains it....

Yea, our POTUS *REALLY* knows how to turn the screws and retaliate for his "red lines"... :^/

It simply just HAS to be embarrassing that the majority of Americans view PUTIN as a stronger leader than our own POTUS...

Michale

Then quit electing people who become PART of the 1% and will actually TAKE ON the 1%...

Barring that, at least acknowledge that the ones you vote for are part of the problem and NOT part of the solution...

Michale

Here in Ohio, spending is really becoming a concern as the GOP keeps choosing to give tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of public investment.

This is a point I don't think is highlighted nearly enough.

What's happening is that schools and communities are suffering - literally, there are potholes everywhere and its getting to the point where simple basic services like fire & police are being cut.

Why?

It's not creating jobs. The vast majority will never see any breaks because they're raising sales taxes and property taxes.

Who benefits? The 1%.

It literally is nothing but a shell game to shift the burden from the wealthy to everyone else.

I've found it helps to explain this if you can connect the dots from potholes to tax cuts. The 1% get more, you get less.

-David

Fiddling and burning come to mind..

Maybe if Obama actually ATTENDED National Security meetings instead of playing around, Russia wouldn't be making a jackass out of him...

I'm just saying....

Michale

If you haven't checked it out, I'd highly encourage.

Ya know, I am beginning to pine away for the strong assertive effective leadership of the Carter Administration... :^/

In other words, Obama has no problem ignoring Congress if it helps himself personally or the Democratic Party..

Why doesn't he ignore Congress on behalf of the country???

I can answer that..

Party uber alles...

Michale

As I said to JL above, we don't know that.

It could have easily been caused by a meth lab, eh??

What can solve this problem? Two things: strict government oversight of utilities, and federal infrastructure spending. Which side are Dems on, and which side is the GOP on? I ask you...

Democrats have been in charge for 6 years now..

Why haven't things changed???

Don't say because of Republican intransigence... Obama has proven time and time again that he has NO PROBLEM ignoring Congress to further his agenda.

So, why haven't things changed??

Because Dems only give LIP service to "strict government oversight of utilities, and federal infrastructure spending."

Liz,

How do you think the wise, ahem, people of Crimea will like their freedom in Putin's Russia - when they're not missing it, that is?

I have no doubt that the new Russian citizens will come to regret their decision..

But, of course, they are going to blame America for allowing it to happen.. :^/

Michale

I would say the buildings that blew up were an indication (yet another one) of how our country's infrastructure is decaying all around us. Kind of like bridges collapsing, in other words.

Google "San Bruno pipeline explosion" -- these things aren't isolated. For those that notice, that is. That's one that happened out here, in my neck of the woods.

Kiselyov made the comment to support his argument that the United States and President Barack Obama were living in fear of Russia led by President Vladimir Putin amid the Ukraine crisis.

Welcome to Cold War Redux, ladies and gentlemen.. Complete with the "WE WILL BURY YOU" rhetoric...

All courtesy of your Emperor Barack The First and your Democratic Party...

To paraphrase Toby Keith...

"How do you like (Your Democrats) now???"

Michale

I am also constrained to point out that it might NOT be negligence on the part of the government, but rather negligence on the part of the residents, no??

Government is an easy scapegoat.. It's a lot harder to look in the mirror and ask, "Am I part of the solution? Or part of the problem?"

I'm just sayin'....

Michale

Touche'.... :D

It just seems that "over the top sound bites" are fair game when they come from a GOP'er and are routinely ridiculed here in Weigantia......

I just figured I would spread it around.. :D

As I am wont to do...

Michale

again, i'm not saying the guy is the best congressman ever or anything. hell, that district has only had two reps in the last 70 years, both with scandals galore. but if you're going to criticise something about a congresscritter, one over the top sound-byte seems like a pointless place to start.

I guess our POTUS couldn't be bothered with this national security stuff...

Dems are in a panic...

Obama approval has dropped below 40%...

Dems lost a special election that was there's for the taking. Lost to a third-rate LOBBYIST fer chreest's sake!!

i was working a few blocks away from those buildings in harlem. loud noise, awful smell. but the teachers kept on teaching and the students seemed to be okay. i'm not sure whether or not any of our students had family there.

I have no doubt it was traumatic and, yes, it's sad that 7 people were killed..

But 9/11???

It's like saying that Benghazi was this generation's Pearl Harbor..

There is absolutely NO COMPARISON between the two events and anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together would know that...

Only about 10% of the sign-ups of TrainWreckCare have been from uninsured Americans...

So, even if the rate is slightly going down, the fact that only 10% of all sign-ups are uninsured Americans, it simply shows ANOTHER reason why obamacare is TrainWreckCare...

And, just to throw more fat on the fire, nearly 25% of ALL signups for TrainWreckCare, HAVEN'T EVEN PAID yet...

This number is somewhat in dispute because the systems that monitor payments and such are STILL not even done!! So, the number is probably a lot higher..

March isn't going to be good to obamacare...

Michale

WHAT!!!!

Are you saying that "the main reason", "THE MAIN reason for TrainWreckCare was to get uninsured Americans insurance!!!!?????

VINDICATION.... thy name is Michale

:D

A simple, "You were right, Michale" is all that is necessary... :D

Michale

As far as the Florida contest??

It proves beyond ANY doubt that Democrats who run on the "Don't Repeal obamacare, Fix It" will lose...

The only platform Dems can run on if they want to save their jobs is REPEAL OBAMACARE...

Michale

Just for everyone's info...
