We can't reverse the decline because the welfare-dependent are outbreeding everyone else at a rate of 3 to 1, and only 49% of income earners support 100% of the country. That will result in nothing other than continued decline.

Eventually you run out of other people's money.....a concept that Liberals have never been able to embrace.

Haha and that type of cornbread and apple pie political divide is EXACTLY what is killing this country. You like other lemmings have been brainwashed into believing there is actually a difference between a democrat/left winger and a republican/right winger. Their entire genius modus operandi is to keep lemmings and sheep like you divided so you can be conquered like the clown you are. Liberalism? This country was founded on liberalism. Do you even understand what liberalism is? It's not some coffee barista with a nose piercing with five kids living off the government who's had two abortions and sends all her money to GreenPeace. Keep drinking the kool aid. The cornbread and apple pie loving right wing idiots are just as brainwashed as the left wing loonies who think the government is going to solve all our problems.

Liberalism is the belief in the importance of liberty and equal rights.[2] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally, liberals support ideas such as constitutionalism, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, and freedom of religion

You are just repeating right-wing talking points. People like you are part of the problem. Just like people of the left are part of the problem. You people can't see straight because you have been brainwashed by the MSM.

the corn fed apple pie right wing idiots in America can't even see the idiocy of keeping marijuana illegal. They idiots in the deep south and places like VA, TN etc. can't even understand why it's illegal to distill moonshine yet perfectly legal to brew beer and ferment wine. I'd say the average liberal is a lot more intelligent than the average "corn fed" good ol right winger..........unfortunately BOTH are dividing and ruining this country. The right and left are both government lackeys.

They're no one's talking points. They're actual facts.

Documented welfare-dependent birth rate stats, here:

Only 49% of income earners pay any federal income tax documented, here:
//www.city-data.com/forum/22262778-post11.html

We can't reverse our country's decline because the welfare-dependent are outbreeding everyone else at a rate of 3 to 1, and only 49% of income earners support 100% of the country. That will result in nothing other than continued decline. The facts and the math don't lie. They are what they are.

We are going to hell in a hand basket and Mammon is carrying us irretrievably on our way.
well said. reversing "reason over Religion"...we are in a nation of some who refuse to face reality. No one in America wants to face that they are the 99%...
They all want to pretend they are part of a distinct class..which is the ultimate joke the 1% foists on the myopic public.

Cafferty is correct, but the sheep will continue to led to the slaughter in America as they shop and consume, pay bank of America 30% interest so they can buy the latest i-Pad, wondering why sonny boy gets his masters degree at University but cant find a job and lives at home at age 38.

It's just the liberals application of the ideal costs a lot more than a conservatives application of the ideals.

Liberals want to apply the ideal by progressive regulation.
Conservative offer the choice to join the application. If one chooses not to join, the conservative will just move on with out them. A free market sort of option.
