I agree completely, Ventu, government is needed ....<br />I agree completely, Ventu, government is needed to provide defense – military, police, fire, “and other things private citizens can't do”. A government should provide a defense against those people and things would enslave us, steal our property, destroy our homes, despoil our environments, and ultimately kill us – whatever their motives. And whatever form the threat takes - “all enemies, foreign and domestic.” To include oil companies, for example. Or a healthcare industry that kills for profit. <br /><br />And arguing that a nation that has 17% of its workforce unemployed and 40% of its population so impoverished they qualify for food stamps “can buy our own damned health insurance” suggests “something is wrong with your thought process” I guess it must be an illiberal (and illogical) thing.<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-19495490101364970012010-06-04T22:57:37.035-05:002010-06-04T22:57:37.035-05:00I guess it must be an IQ thing with liberals.
Ar...I guess it must be an IQ thing with liberals. <br /><br />Arguing that it is now the small government conservatives that want the government to clean up the oil spill...and that somehow makes them phonies. Geeezzz.....what is wrong with your thought prcess ?<br /><br />Nobody sane is arguing that there should be no government. Government is needed to build the highways, provide a military defense, and other things that private citizens can't do. Police, fireman....that is the role of government. How is this so difficult to understand ?<br /><br />A massive oil spill in the GOM is not something ordinary citizens can fix by themselves. That is the proper role of government.<br /><br />But we can buy our own damn health insurance. Keep your meddling instincts at bay when it comes to our everyday lives, and take care of the big things. And stop acting like you don't know the difference-- unless you really don't know the difference....in which case you should never be allowed to govern us.ventuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261160552725719680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-40703689646401748562010-06-04T18:44:39.114-05:002010-06-04T18:44:39.114-05:00kwark - glad to see that the parallel with the goo...kwark - glad to see that the parallel with the good old US of Attack'em wasn't missed by the loyal few.<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-43894229178122585142010-06-04T17:50:54.290-05:002010-06-04T17:50:54.290-05:00Re: Lessons Learned As shameful as this is, Ol'...<b>Re: Lessons Learned</b> As shameful as this is, Ol' Obama is hardly in a position to criticize, given the fact that we have given ourselves the right to kill anyone anywhere if WE think they're a terrorist. Everyday in every way we and our pal Israel give the world one more reason to hate us. So in regards to terrorist threats, can you say self fulfilling prophecy?kwarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-67360798530952767562010-06-04T10:09:31.657-05:002010-06-04T10:09:31.657-05:00So if your'e in Florida, you're about to b...So if your'e in Florida, you're about to be surrounded in oil.
