You're a fucking welder, not a rocket scientist.

I know the difference, my Uncle is a rocket Scientist...

Believe what you want.

I do nothing with the rockets. I do work with what goes inside.

My post concerns your lack of criticism of the Ethanol program, please try and keep up son.

Sorry, Pops!

farmers = republicans

Who does the ethanol program benefit the most? Farmers.

Nuff said.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

It matters to vette. I watched him and Sean chase tails over what was posted (or not posted) last week.

Link me to my support of the ethanol program.

I know. You can't. Even your broad brush cannot stretch that far.

Again, you don't have to support it directly as long as you support government intervention.

Do you want government out of the clean air and water business?

If not then you have a baby in bath water...

Still, that is government following your direction.

Government does not do Science, government does politics, so when you direct your government to Science, all you get is politics...

Do you want Big Biz to "regulate" themselves on what to dump in the water after they are done making their doodads?

Can the water plant that "purifies" your H2O handle anything that comes down the pike?

There is a fine balance between what is desired and what will work.

Ask your uncle.

There it is for you in black and white!

More republican blowjobs.

And you fuckers wonder why America hates you.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Ask your uncle.

And the only way to find that balance is called the free market, unless you LIKE the statist tyranny of the Harvard Oligarchy...



PS - Uncle is a Mormon Glenn Beck fan. You SURE you want me to ask him?

His basement is a bomb-shelter, stocked with food and A WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM...

Yes. When they pollute, you sue them out of business and send a message to their competitors. No law or regulation will stop either an accident or a dedicated polluter. You have to rely on people because relying on government turns us all into slaves building pyramids to the glory of government.

The water plant that purifies my H2O can because it is nature's purification system (well) coupled with my home purification system.

Thought up by liberals in the EPA, and written by a Democrat congress. Let's not forget all the players.

Signed by Bush. You said so yourself!


Yes, there were other players. Rarely do they call me and get permission before fucking up. And no matter what poker face you use in the political discussions here at Lit, remember there are players behind the scene on all the decisions being made by your President today.

And now, the GOOD economic news!

Government dependence, which is defined as the percentage of persons receiving one or more federal benefit payments, is at a staggering 47%, its highest level in American history, while 21 million households are reliant on food stamps. In fact, government spending on food stamps in 2010 ($68 billion) was double what it was in 2007, with the 2011 figure likely to be even higher.

According to the August employment report from the Department of Labor, the nation's unemployment rate remained at 9.1% with a total of zero jobs added to the economy during the month. Among demographic groups, Latinos had an unemployment rate of 11.3%, while African-Americans posted a rate of 16.7%. For blacks, that represents the highest unemployment rate for this group since 1984 and a rate more than double that of whites (8%).

When Obama took office in January 2009, the nation's unemployment rate stood at 7.8%, a rate higher than the historic norm, yet far below the current rate, and above any rate during the Bush administration. Since June 2009, six months into Obama's term, the nation's unemployment rate has been at or above 9% during 25 of 27 consecutive months.

Those are the official unemployment rates. The real unemployment rate, as it is sometimes referred to, rose to a seasonally adjusted 16.2% in August. That rate, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, includes those in the official unemployment rate plus those who have given up looking for a job and those who are working part-time but wish to work full-time. This figure is now at its highest rate since August 2010 and represents about one out of every six potential American workers now without a job.

The economic numbers are especially poor for the demographic groups that most supported Barack Obama at the polling booth in November 2008.

Take Wayne County, Michigan, for example, where President Obama made a Labor Day economic speech. This county, which includes the city of Detroit, voted for Obama at a rate of 74% in 2008. It has been estimated that Detroit's "Real Unemployment Rate" might be upwards of 45%, and Michigan remains the state with the dubious honor of having the highest unemployment rate.

On a state-by-state basis, seven of the ten states with the highest unemployment rates voted for Obama in 2008, with Alaska, Georgia, and South Carolina being the exceptions.

Among the aforementioned Latino and African-American groups, with their higher than average unemployment rates, Obama carried 67% and 96% of these groups in the 2008 election.

These woeful economic figures have come during a time in which we have experienced the most government involvement in the economy since the days of FDR and government spending without parallel in our nation's history.

The list of taxpayer-paid government bailouts and government spending under the Obama administration is seemingly endless and has resulted in our national debt now above $14.7 trillion.

All of this is wearing on the American people, and rightfully so. According to a recent Gallup poll, President Obama's approval numbers have sunk to 48% among Hispanics versus 75% during his first month in office, while his approval figures among African-Americans have dropped to 84% from 92%. Each represents the lowest approval numbers he has had among these groups, which, recall, overwhelmingly supported him for president in 2008. Overall, Obama's approval number has slipped back down to 41%.

Now, President Obama has said he wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars more to stimulate the economy. The American people can't take much more.

The more distant and powerful your government, the more likely it is to be dominated and controlled by just a very small group of people.

For your information Cap'n Disingenuous, I haven't been ignoring this thread. I just haven't seen anything new from your side of the aisle, meaning "conservatives" and "Not republicans" in over a year now. Just C&P of the same boring old bullshit, hoping for failure.

Todays has been mostly you engaging in ad hominem against SaintPeter, and circle jerking with Vette.

I'll wade in when you have something new to say. Your dire predictions are still as bereft of reality as they were when I made this thread.

Since the eco-movement is where the Communists gravitated towards with the fall of the Soviet Union and subsequently became the darlings of the Socialist wing of the Democrat party, you're demanding some might fine parsing there...

He's on a lifelong mission to "teach Laurel a lesson".

Granted, he's getting up in years now, so we don't see much in the way of original thought...

that's why he showers us with a spewnami of American Thinker cut-n-pastes each day.

He's a black belt in Jeet Kune D'OH - the way of the Tard.
