Geithner subverts the dollar

#1  It's how you cook the books for your banker and investor friends stuck with lots of paper for property that's over valued. You simply cheapen the dollar to float it to the level of those junk pieces of paper. Of course, it screws the rest of the population, but they're just prols and not part of the Inner Party.

#2  Thats right Procopius2k, and what people do not realize is it is a tax on 100% of the population of the world. He is screwing the poorest of the poor all the world over to pay off his stupid union buddies.

Huckabee: Beck has gone around the bend.

#1  Huckabee: get bent.

Hows the comfy chair been treatn' ya? Just as fair.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 04/22/2011 12:08 Comments || Top||

#2  On more data point for my "Dislike" column for Huckabee.
Posted by: DarthVader || 04/22/2011 12:50 Comments || Top||

#3  Beck went around the bend a long time ago. But he kept on going (maybe several laps now), and is in the front again.
Posted by: Glenmore || 04/22/2011 12:57 Comments || Top||

#4  Whereas huckabee has never even seen the bend. Screw huckabee. I used to like him until his staff said he is nothing but a walking penis.

#5  Glenn lost me, my conservative relatives and friends when he decided to mix God and politics. He has turned his program into a neuvo 700 Club. Perhaps this is by design, Pat Robertson, the poggie bait "ex" Marine, is 81 and his constituency will be up for grabs.

As for Mike Huckabee?

#6  Don't be too dismissive too soon.

If November 2012 rolls around and it's Huckabee versus Obama, you'll have a choice to make.

I'll round up the spare nose-pins...

#7  The Libertarians might nominate Dr. Paul.

#8  Huckabee? Isn't he the one who freed that prisoner early for Clemency -- so that he could kill 4 police officers in Seattle?

That Huckabee?
Posted by: CrazyFool || 04/22/2011 20:25 Comments || Top||

#9  yep, that *spit* Huckabee. A lying demagogue faux-evangelical
Posted by: Frank G || 04/22/2011 20:48 Comments || Top||

#10  Dr. Steve, the mainstream press won't mention any blood on *&^%kerbee's hands until the day after the nomination, and then they won't talk about anything else. And unlike the wall of shit they drop on Sarah Palin, this time it'll be something real.

If we don't want four more years of 0bama we NEED to find someone else.

Obama: Don't let deficit reduction kill the American dream
Posted by: ryuge || 04/22/2011 10:27 || Comments || Link || [0 views] Top|| File under:

#1  A$$hole. The American dream is comatose and on life support because of pols like you who don't understand that individual economic activity is the driver of the dream.

The dream is not one where everyone sits on their fat a$$ and is handed stuff by the nanny state.
Kill the debt & deficit and the dream will be reborn.
Posted by: AlanC || 04/22/2011 11:47 Comments || Top||

#2  The American Dream(tm) is predicated upon hard work not redistribution to those who don't. Steal long enough and those who used to work hard see no reason to continue while you reward your factions for putting you in power with the fruits of their labor and skill.

#3  well put, AlanC

#4  His 'American Dream' is the nightmare which was (and in some cases still is) the Socialist system as practiced in Stalin's Soviet Union, Castro's Cuba, Pol-Pot's Cambodia, and the original Mao's China. To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability success.

Even China figured out that it doesn't work and went to a more capitalistic economy.

Rather than 'Atlas Shrugged' think 'Atlas Starved'. One is voluntary - the other forced.

#6  This from a guy that lives in his own pipe dream. Little punk ass child, playing with countries like they are toys.

Soros is his daddy.

#7  The faster this Marxist is out of office, along with his cronies, the better.
Posted by: DarthVader || 04/22/2011 14:31 Comments || Top||

#8  Never mind where he was born, I don't think that Obama's idea of the American Dream is anything like mine.

The socialist dream is everybody living off of everybody else. Somehow.

#9  The water in the bathtub comes from somewhere. It just does not magically appear to be drunken up in one sitting, heh.
Posted by: Alaska Paul || 04/22/2011 19:58 Comments || Top||

#10  The American Dream is for the guv'ment to get out of the way and let me dream and work and enjoy the fruits of "my" labor and not have the sucks steal/tax and then spread/share the fruits of my labor with the lazy azz folk. I don't want a guv'ment handout - I want to work - that's my American dream. This is the most un-American president in our history - he doesn't know our dreams.

#11  yes, let us the Marxists in the Administration do it.
