This is a prime example of existing profitable business sucking profits from the federal teat.
Big Ag is corporate farming.

Big Ag and the chemicals companies are financial backers of the tea party movement. They have invested a lot of money into making sure the masses keep their focus on the likes of the Obama phone lady despite, free phones have been around for decades and are not funded with federal money. Of course certain providers/carriers have benefitted from the free phones but don't you worry your pretty little head bout that.

"Decimated" means one-tenth of it has been eliminated. In actuality, that percentage, at least of top leadership, is underestimated.

Perhaps they intuited that we Americans would wonder why our tax dollars are being used to promote food stamps to foreigners when we are losing our homes and our jobs and our national deficit is 16 trillion times the size of Kanye West's ego.
They protect and sustain the lobbies that feed them. It's about as bipartisan as it gets.

We should also limit immigration of Muslims, except women escaping oppression, into this country.
Why assume those rioting in Sweden, right now, are Muslims?

Naah over here we don need no stink'n immigrants to do that stuff, we got home grown's that'll do that grunt work for us.

Wasn't there an org out there burning dealership lots full of luxury cars just a while back?

Didn't some home grown's haul a truck driver out of his cab and beat him near to death with bricks during a riot in California over cops beating someone somewhere.

Oh I know; how about the crack head who ATE the face off of another crack head? mmmmmm?

Methinks there's enough home grown's pulling that chit over here without casting a supposedly superior eye at Europe due to their immigration policies.

Sheesh, people living in glass houses .............!

You're correct.
I had to register with the embassy in all countries that I'm currently visiting in the Balkans.
I also get warned at work in Germany, where I currently live.

The following poem is connected to the Statue of Liberty, and it symbolizes the American spirit.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!


You republicans don't talk like Americans, you talk like Nazis/Adolf Hitler.

You republicans don't talk like Americans, you talk like Adolf Hitler following Nazis.
I never read that in the constitution, Here is a poem,
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were -- I have not seen
As others saw -- I could not bring
My passions from a common spring --
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow -- I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone --
And all I lov'd -- I lov'd alone --
Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn
Of a most stormy life -- was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still --
From the torrent, or the fountain --
From the red cliff of the mountain --
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold --
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by --
From the thunder, and the storm --
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view --

This is America, not Europe.
Exactly, this is America. If conservatives want America to be more like Somalia, they should all just move to Somalia. Problem solved.
