People like him are a waste of time and effort.
LOL. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. But sure believe the "job creators" have your best interest and the best interest of the country at heart....

See above.

See above.

There seems to be a class of people who worship "job creators" and think that everything is done through "blood sweat and tears" of their own two hands. It's asinine.



My goodness, I quote you without even realizing it. My point is made everytime you open your mouth. We're in this together, and until your intellectually defificient cohorts understand that their wealth-hoarding "job creation" programs are detrimental to the ecosystem in which we live, we can get back to fixing this country.

You don't know me.



Everything you enjoy in life has been provided in one way or another by the federal and state governments by very definition.

But don't forget, get the government out of my medicare!

We were operating under the King of England prior to the United States with a slathering of local governments.

We didn't crawl out of the primordial stew of anarchy and suddenly have a Constitutional Republic. Governments have been around for a very long time.

And here we go, blame anyone who isn't rich for being lazy, and let the crooks and criminals who made their fortunes illegally and illegititely go free, because they're "job creators." You ****ing lot make me sick.
Don't bother. These people can't think for themselves. If their beloved job creators tell them the sky is green.... well the sky is green. It's quite pathetic.

Of course not. As opposed to all the politicians, governors, presidents who just do it for the greater good of the country and if often caught stealing they still do it for us because we are too stupid to reasonably spend our own money

If you agree with him, work for the re-election of the president.

If you disagree, work for the election of Mitt Romney.

This is the central issue in the most consequential election since I don't know when. If you do not believe Konraden's summary is true today, and the Obama turning point in American history marks a watershed moment when the country changed its nature, the statement will be true for our children and grandchildren.

May God bless you and all the governors of all the states who give us all these enjoyments. How can we possibly repay you?
You wouldn't be able to see the sunset if not for air quality regulations, or have birds and fish to enjoy without the clean water act. The very freedoms you enjoy are the direct result of the protections afforded by the state. Every time you come online to post your drivel, that's a direct result of government funded research. The President may not be holding your hand, but federal, state, and local entities are involved in just about everything you do. It is as inescapable as the very air you breathe, and to deny that a ruling power exists over you is to deny the very existence of reality.

Cognizance of the grand human ecosystem in which we inhabit, to understand that we are ants in the colony, is tremendous. I know you think you're just a special little ant, carrying that sugar back to the mound, but a hundred ants were there before you, laying the groundwork for you to grab the sugar, and another hundred ants will come after, to do the same and more.

You're not special. I'm not special. Business owners are not special. You don't get special privileges for thinking you're a mogul--and if you need to be brought down a peg because your actions threaten the colony, than such will be done, and the scheme of hoarding wealth and telling the rest to **** off because you're too ignorant to realize you have that wealth because of the people you're pissing on, will only result of greater punishment.

We still have an argument to have in the Gun-Control thread, DV. I'm not agreeing with you just yet.

As opposed to the business owners who do the same?

And here you make that pretty speech and then end it something that seems petty and personal. Provide the link and we can discuss it as there are quite a few gun threads.

I think you still operate under the king of England....
The people who went to explore the west did not wait for the government to build roads and infrastructure. They did not wait for the government backing. They just took off. Wild West did not have a government.
Our history as a nations starts with rejection of the government imposed by the King Of England.

You welfare lot make me even more sick shamelessly living off my taxes.
Blame everybody for your own misrfotunes. I'll take job creators over you at any time. They created jobs you haven't created anything in your life.

I'm not being petty, I think you just left this discussion unfinished.

You don't need to read it all, but explain to me why you think automobiles and cars don't belong in the same discussion, when one is four times more lethal than the other.

Coming from a heartless bastard such as yourself, I'll take solace in knowing my hard work goes towards helping those who can't.
