To my post on Obama lying to Florida's elderly population about McCain's stand on Social Security reform the Progressive jerks got around to their usual garbage. I usually ignore it but today I just plain got pissed off. I answered snarky and stupid comments like these below and then thought I would post my comments because there are damned fools out there who need to hear some straight talking too. (I am also PO'ed because my stocks went down 62% because of this fiasco.)Comments I answered: " Deregulated capitalism is a failure. We have known that for h a hundred years - hence the anti-trust, monopoly and other regulations. Without them the results of laissez faire capitalism are monopolies and cartels.
After the last depression safeguards were put in place that lasted until Bush. " and

I answered: " Actions speak. McCain backed the bill in 2005. McCain has pressed for many bills to curb irresponsible spending, corruption and ear marks. Obama has done just the opposite and his voting record is the most liberal (meaning voting for spending)of any other Senator.
Furthermore, this mess goes back to Bill Clinton's demanding the passage of the bill making it easier for low income and minorities to get loans. Loans that they were, and are, unable to afford. The lending institutions had a go ahead from the Democratic president to have a feeding frenzy with wink, wink behind doors promises that the government would bail them out if they got in trouble. Then after the feeding frenzy got started a Democratic Congress made damned sure nothing stopped it in 2005. Actions! History! Facts! Not words! Any bozo off the street or in the Senate can and does spout off nice sounding words at any opportunity. Words that mean little when spoken and even less after wards because they are just as easily forgotten as there is no sure record of them unless they were recorded, and then the claim can and is made that the words were taken out of context. But it takes courage and conviction to step up to the plate and put your name on the dotted line with a vote or sponsoring a bill where there is no where to hide if it was the wrong move.
"Once in a while you will stumble upon the truth but most of us manage to pick ourselves up and hurry along as if nothing had happened." Winston Churchill It does seem that the old gent had it right doesn't it? Most people don't want the truth; instead they want a pretty lie that fits with their own thinking and needs. I would say there are several on this site who sound as if they haven't the guts to stand up and support themselves, but would rather take my money from me that I have worked for to support them instead. Big Daddy nurturing the irresponsible from cradle to grave. No matter that history has proven again and again that socialism destroys a society and a country. Examples are all over the place: The Soviet Union went bankrupt, France is bankrupt and being held up with foreign aid ( a good bit of it from US tax payers), the best and brightest are leaving England because of the high taxes (70% of income from individuals and businesses), China is riff with child labor, pollution and poverty, North Korea is a pit of misery.

and " Matt, I was not pointing fingers because as you say there is enough blame to go around. I am merely pointing out to some that this particular problem dates back to a Democrat president's decision to open the market to those who could not afford home ownership. Of course they want that home right off the boat, or as soon as they cross the border, or right out of school. There is no such thing as saving for a down payment. Or maybe deciding the kids don't need their own computer, TV and cell phone or $75 jeans.
But Mr. Clinton and cohorts decided that everyone DESERVES to own their own home, and went about making it easy for the banks to get the money to them. Then all hell broke loose as the greed escalated. Plenty of blame to go around so pointing fingers is useless. I am also tired of having George Bush blamed for everything that has happen. He and his administration is even being blamed by many of his countrymen for 9/11!!

Indeed "confusing facts" A Person since you do it all the time. And once more, you are one of the greatest advocates of some sitting on their ass and living off the sweat of others who are not so lazy or stupid. It is one thing taking care of those who are less able to care for themselves. (Might I point out again that Conservatives and Republicans give much more to charity and volunteer their services more than Progressives?) Yes, taking care of the poor is right and just, but it is a different ball game when my grandchildren are being saddled with the bill for health care, subsidized housing loans and God knows what else for people making twice or more of the poverty level who can not handle their finances well enough, or realistically enough, to purchase their own insurance or purchase a home they can afford or no home at all until they can afford it.
So go snark somewhere else. I really have little patience for fools! Brenda Bowers
By the way, I voted for Bill Clinton twice and would vote for him again if he was able to run. He was a very good president with much to offer and with all the stupidity he had to accept because he is an alpha male rather than a saint it is a wonder he accomplished as much as he did. That doesn't however mean I feel the same about his wife. I wouldn't vote for her to be a street sweeper. BB "
and "I forgot one last thing: yes China does own the United States. They own us because we have been selling our souls for that extra cell phone and every thing else we the people think we just can not live without. We are the most wasteful, immature, irresponsible people on Earth. And, we are also the most well off people on Earth. Any one from any other country comes here and marvels at what we have. They also marvel at our stupidity in managing our affairs. To the rest of the world the American public is a bunch of buffoons. Our education system spends more money per pupil than any other country and yet our children are uneducated. We have teachers who can not locate the Civil War in the correct century so it is no wonder. Then again these same kids who can't read will be the teachers of tomorrow. We are importing more doctors because Americans who manage to get thru medical school can't pass the AMA exams. We are sending technical jobs overseas not wholly because it is cheaper labor costs but because we simply don't have the people with the smarts to do the job. We are so silly we purchase pet rocks for God's sake! They like Americans as a group and individually, but they pity our ignorance and immaturity also. BB "
It certainly feels good to let it all out from time to time. BB
