Tell me why the blacks will not vote for Ben Carson

:D  :D :D  :D  :D  :D  

Big Girl- Just for the fun of it, go ahead and identify two or three statements that qualify as insanity.

And exceeded in 2008 with ultra validation in 2012

TVC- Your last sentence was PRECISELY what our consider big government

I find attempts at leadership to be vastly superior when compared to  the banality of platitudes.

PamFAm- is there anything that Mr. Sowell says that is a lie or that you find objectionable?

Especially hurts those who utter it infrequently.

Hey PamFAm-  I suggest you consult the latest Presidential satisfaction polls and tell me how strongly you feel about that "over 50%"     And Fevertree, as far as someone not knowing the truth, that statement of yours applies better to few than the current President

Much of what she states comes from thinkprogress.org

H.L. Nencken ( Born 1990-died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and Democrat.  He wrote the editorial below while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.   " AS democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner sould of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron"   --H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Why did the President promise a "21st Century VA" and yet people are dying waiting to see a doc?  It's simply one more piece of evidence that the government is incompetent at the majority of tasks it takes on.   Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.  It also has a democratic Mayor and the state has a democratic governor.  Four of the last 7 governors of Illinois have wound up in prison and the current Governor is under investigation.  If you add in Jessie Jackson Jr, former Illinois 2nd Congressional District rep in the US. House of Representatives, you have an impressive list of corruption.  The governors who served prison time were George Ryan, Dan Walker, Otto Kerner, and Rod Blagojevich.  4 out of 5 of the individuals named belong to the same party.  Care to guess which one it is?

Well stated.

Rest assured that every person coming in within these groups is NOT a poor little disadvantaged kid.  There are enemies within these groups that are entering the country.

Big Girl, I am asking this of you for the fourth time.  If you are concerned about people who lost their lives on an Iranian Airline, are you more concerned about our own veterans who die in this country because they can't get in to see the doc at the Veterans Administration?  Are you more concerned about all the needless murders of children that happen in Chicago on a daily basis?

" The 2.9% drop in real GDP during the first quarter was a fluke caused by a brutal winter and some one-off events.  With much of the monthly date in for the second quarter, it look llike the US will see that drop almost completely reversed.   Normally, we would expect a bigger bounce as pent-up demand (lost to weather) returned and added to growth already in train.  But, not this time.  In recent years, tax rates have been hiked, regulations have increased and government spending has expanded.  All of these are a burden on the economy that creates slower growth potential.   As a result, while we expect a nice rebound in second quarter GDP to 2.9% annualized growth, this still looks like a Plow Horse recovery.   This doesn't mean we won't see better growth rates in the years ahead.  Monetary policy is loose- and will stay that way even when the Federal Reserve starts raising rates- corporate profits have been terrific, and housing will continue to rebound.  Job creation has hastened, helping boost incomes and purchasing power.   However, the economy will remain disappointinly weak unless, and until, government policies change.  Given current policies, this economic expansion will not be like the ones in the 1980's or 1990's.  Not even close.    

And you can bet your last dollar that none of this information will be lost AKA Lois Lerner hard drive.

I bought a bird feeder.  I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.  What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed.  Within a week, we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.   But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table and next to the barbeque.  Then came the poop.  It was everywhere:  on the patio tile, the chairs, the table- everywhere.   Then some of the birds turned mean.  They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.  And others birds were boisterous and loud.  They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.   After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.  So I took down the bird feeder and in three days, the birds were gone.  I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests thy had built all over the patio.  Soon, the back yard was like it used to be....quiet, serene... and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.   Now, lets see.....  Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.  Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.  Suddenly our taxes went up to pay  for free servies:  small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; Your childs second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesnt speak English.    Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;  I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people are wavings flags other than "ours" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.   Is it time to take down the bird feeder?

Mr. Obama says Biden would make a great President and yet, when is the last time you have heard Biden say much about anything.  I am guessing that the WhiteHouse has had him "muzzled" for some time.

While I believe there is a certain amount of "spying" that needs to take place, I have little faith in the integrity of the current administration and have been conditioned, by prior events, to be suspicious of most anything they do.  Is that what you wanted to hear?

If you want immediate answers, perhaps you post them at an earlier hour.  I preach small government.( small being a relative term)  What do you want to know?

Well Big GIrl, is wage garnishment a too large government reaching too far into our lives?

ROASTED

That says it all.  BIg GIrl, ask your "friend" ( with the MBA in economics) what is faulty about the post.  EnlightenedChosen- enjoy this fact.
