There will always be ignorant and stupid people in this world.

Jim just missed the word "style". Easy thing to do when reading fast as we sometimes do. But not, back to the contents and the point of the execise. The contention is that things are not being run perhaps as well as they could be and this is due to some in our government being idiots. I tend to agree with most of the line item complaints, but I think it is due to less benign motives. The urge to control others seems to be a common human tendency. When folks from either side of the aisle get into power, it seems to become an overwhelming urge. Another reason I am for (much) smaller government with decisions made much closer to the people they will affect.

It's just that we share so much common ground...

I couldn't agree more Bob!

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. I am pretty sure I have seen folks get arrested and deported for entering the country illegally

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. Currently only 14 states do not require parental consent. What do you have against states rights?

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. Which one of those is a right guaranteed by the constitution? How about this, change "vote" with "buy a gun" (at least in TX) and tell me how it works?

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. Would you rather Egypt buy their planes from A. USA B. Russia C. China

If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. The righter actually got one right

If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
Come on, really? Does this even sound true? Never mind, I know it does to you. A simple internet search (you should try that some time) would show that this claim is utterly false. Common sense would indicate that as well but ..... By the way, is a pissed off 80 yr old or the suicidal parant of a 3 yr old not able to sacrifice their life for their belief? Do you expect all terrorist to look like the ones in your conservative hand book? If you were trying to blow up a plane would you dress up in ME garb or a business suit?

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
Even Bohner came out and admitted that cutting to prosperity will not work. There needs to be common sense in spending and revenue

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. Makes sense to me. Then again, I believe in equal rights for all not just the ones I agree with.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. Way to complex for a 1 or 2 sentence response.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. See above

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. See above

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. No rights are being stripped

What a country!

How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America! Like some imaginary entity gives a crap about this nation when their is wide spread famine, death and carnage in countries all around the world.

Reminds me of 2000 when the liberal court members discovered states rights and the conservative members discovered voters rights.

Of course, if one only sees one side to a given controversy it makes explanations much simpler.

Botnst · #9 06-05-2013, 11:13 PM

Non-Republicans can call witnesses. Just like when that dome-headed weasel from California ran gov oversight. Waxman. That's his name. What is it about California that they have to play Javert?

If you can explain what is really going on, and prove it, you will earn your 2nd Nobel.

Forward.

Botnst · #11 06-05-2013, 11:25 PM

... and all of the facts, not just those which support one's parochial conclusions.

Evidently Pooka has never been in a court of law, or even seen an episode of Perry Mason. In this country, BOTH sides of an issue get to present their case. It happens a little differently in congress, but you can bet those guys will get their say, that is if they WANT to.

^^Easy to cherry pick reply's to comments.

The gentleman in post # 19 gave a well thought out reply in opposition to the basic theme of this thread.

Is there a reason why you have over-looked-failed to respond with a retort ?

My comments to post #19, for starters there are no sanctuary cities for hunting/fishing licenses as no DNR,s will you get a pass from.

#2 post here if you live in one of those fourteen states and are happy to hear that, and do not think that they are idiot's for for that stance.

#3 the constitution does not give anyone the right to vote without an ID, and the only reason to allow someone to vote without ID is to allow voter fraud.

#4 I would prefer them to buy from anywhere else, as if they get them from US they will not be buying them but it will go under foreign aid (free for life parts and maintenance included) ours are superior then we will be fighting against an inferior enemy, and if they buy them from China or Russia they will have less funds to attack their own people with.

I ran out of time to comment on the rest but will do so soon.
