Don't you guys get tired of defending the Dems in power, always having to clarify what they meant to say, instead of what they actually said.

Nice spin, yourself. Words are words. If they are spoken, the listener can only assume that the words are what was spoken. Kind of like the libs falling all over themselves to say the Dem governor didn't really MEAN postpone elections.

The left pretends to be so much more intelligent than everyone else. Funny, they can't even say what they mean. BULL - they say exactly what they mean, then have their minions run around with damage control.

Nice try. Not going to work.

HUH?! What woodpile did all these Communists crawl out from??? Yeah Obama sure is a Centrist surrounding himself with all the Che and Mao Marxism lovers...
This echoes Bloomberg's claim that the highest function of government is to provide good food.

Sounds like the central planners in the White House have Karl Marx's talking points coordinated.

"The Point of Government Is to Give People a Livelihood so They Can Provide for Their Families"



The statement stands on it's own no matter how it's tried to be spun.
It clearly illustrates the mindset.

Do you realize how many people with your mindset ended up in the Gulag after Stalin came to power in Russia?

your post was a bit confusing, I don't know if I should agree or disagree. I hope you are aware that I was responding to a Lefty that was spinning this as "out of context". All in all, I do agree with what you said, except I wasn't doing any spinning.

To take this literally is so damn ignorant. How would even the most independently run small business run without government enforcements of laws or rules?

No, she didn't say "ensure the safety of our people so they can work as they choose". She said GIVE PEOPLE a livelihood ..... Not ensure an environment.... GIVE PEOPLE A LIVELIHOOD.... as in a GIFT.

Why is that so difficult for you to understand. NOBODY says we need NO government, so your argument is useless.

To take this any other way is so damn ignorant.

It is clearly time we started calling these folks out for what they are...........communists. Where is our version of Joe McCarthey? We need him.

Nope, post #30, you replied to me. My response above is simply stating that you do the exact same thing you accuse SourD of.

Funny, both of you are criticizing the same people. Ringwise, you and SourD are on the "same team", LOL!
