  1. I agree. Already, some in Congress are shamelessly parlaying the youth's unfortunate demise into a political "dog and pony show". If you saw the televised "Congressional forum" relating to the incident and have read how some in Congress are calling for an arrest (without possibly knowing all of the facts), you know what I mean. Add to that, the filing of a friggin' copyright by Martin's parents associated with their son's name and likeness, and my head just shakes. HH
  2. Sharpton is just a carnival barker. And I'd guess a rich one at that. As for the dude wearing the t-shirt above, surely there's a better photo of him someplace in a PD records section. 555555555555555 It will be interesting to see how this incident shakes out. Another lacrosse team senario? Another "rush to judgement"? Early media reports concerning the kid were showing a photo of an innocent-looking 12 year old. That is, the photo was taken 5 years ago. Lots can happen to a kid in 5 years...and not always good. Best for everybody to things to take its course. Plenty of attention is being given by various investigative agencies and the media. Nothing is gonna be swept under the rug. HH
  3. Apparently not the case: http://blog.cgpgrey.com/how-many-americans-have-a-passport-the-percentages-state-by-state/ http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/02/17/how-many-americans-have-a-passport-2/ At the very most, I don't think there are any accurate figues to establish a %. HH
  4. YOu have to remember, those little sub-agencies are often headquartered/located in Congressional districts of influential Congressmen/women. They aren't likely to give those up without a BIG fight. I agree, FWIW, there is way too much duplication among federal agencies, too much "fat", and waste. I've never heard a political candidate NOT say that they will work to get rid of those things. Never happens. I don't even agree that "moderate" deficit spending is a good thing. It would have to be another Pearl Harbor to get me to consider it. I have no problems in requiring the Fed. government only purchasing U.S.-made goods (including automobiles). But even autos are sometimes a grey-market product. There used to be a law that required the feds to purchase only U.S. made goods. Maybe current treaties, etc. would bring the rath of the WTO? Dunno. The idea of trying to get U.S. residents to spend their money on domestic soil is nice. But, reduced/free campsites isn't gonna cut it. In CA, state parks are already closing due to insufficient funds to keep them open. And with soaring gasoline prices, fewer will take domestic trips this year, I am certain. Again, those in LA might go to Magic Mountain or Disneyland for their vacation. On the other hand, if we all just correctly inflated our automobile tires, we could get better milage and reduce our reliance on foreign oil. Right? LOL Shovel ready projects don't seem to exist. At least, according to Barry. Big difference between handouts (unemployment benefits) and what was done during the Depression when jobs were actually provided building infrastructure, post offices, etc. The Gov. got something for its money. Now, all the Gov gets is bitching and moaning if the benefits aren't extended. HH
  5. Yep...I didn't realize he was a friggin' "commie" at the time I was hoping he'd run for Prez. 555555555555 HH
  6. Steve...basically, I'm a social moderate and fiscal conservative. That is why I feel compelled to assist bargirls with the obligations they face on the home front without contributing to the demands some of them think they are worth. 555555555555 I've read/heard that the U.S. could scrap the entire DOD budget, and the country would still face a large deficit. Also, you could take the combined income of the top 1% and it would fund the federal government for about a week. Clearly, the doubling of the deficit in Obama's looooooooooooooong 3 years he's been in office has done nothing to attack the deficit, although that was one of his campaign promises. If the country has any "hope", a change must be made THIS year ! HH
  7. Steve...the "Root of All Evil" is MONEY. Isn't it plain to see that the Government doesn't have all of the money that it needs for all of the things Demoncraps want to buy votes with? When 40% of the budget is based on borrowed money, it should be obvious. Medicare is not sustainable the way things are now. And Obamacare would just make things worse. Do you really think that Obamacare will not break the bank? The Federal Government MUST get it's finances in order. Raising taxes on the "rich" isn't gonna cut it. Basic math should show u that. If a Yugo is breaking the budget, how do u think a Cadillac will balance it? The Republicans, aside from ideological principals ("principals" being a foreign word to most Demoncraps), want to balance a budget. If the POTUS upholds the "Affordable" health legislation, there are other ways to detrail/modify it. HH
  8. Easy enough to tell Barry to go F-off. If not in the election... "Heil Obama" gonna replace "Hope and Change"? HH
  9. Well, Flash, I saw video of the incident. To be honest, I'm sure Hollywood types get tired of having a camera in their faces, unless they're getting paid millions for it. On the other hand, we know they love publicity, unless it's like this incident. Mr. "Rock" is friggin' lucky he didn't go into his tirade in California. He could be looking at charges of disturbing the peace, battery, robbery, and issuing terrorist threats. For sure, his legal bills (criminal and civil) would be more than I'd like to pay. He and Baldwin and dozens more are just a few of the A-holes that they make of themselves. HH
  10. Well, you aren't alone in knowing how flawed it is. Heck, even those who voted for it don't know cuz I doubt if ANY legislator read about 2400 pages in the bill. Pelosi, the Wicked Witch of the West, even noted "we'll know what's in it when it's in force" or words to that effect. Now, to say that "...the Republicans hacked at it..." is just plain WRONG. At the time, Demoncraps controlled both houses of Congress and the White House. It is 99% Demoncrap. I don't know how much news you got regarding this travesty, but at home we were inundated. It was clear that the Demoncrap caucus working on the bill was meeting in closed door sessions and excluding Republican reps. I don't know if you saw the televised meeting between Senate/House leaders and Barry, but it was a friggin' disgrace the way Barry spoke about 90% of the time and refused to accept the objections and ideas put forth by the Republicans. What was particularly objectionable, was his flip comment that "elections have their consequences"--meaning "tough shit" if you don't like it. Well, a few months later, he found out the consequences of elections when the GOP took over the House. To Barry, I say "tough shit" and that's why he's basically been a lame duck since. (Thank God.) And hopefully, he'll be a one-termer if the fools who elected this "Prince" stay away from the voting booths. HH
  11. Yep...like I said, "Affordable my ass." It's "affordable" when somebody doesn't have to pay for it. However, we all understand that the 50% of the population which is paying taxes isn't paying its "fair share". Right Steve? HH
  12. A "mere" 50% increase in price since Barry took office...which is also what my health insurance premium went up thanks to the fuckin' Demoncraps and Obama. (Affordable health care my ass.) Hoping that they all get sick and die, I am.. HH
  13. Hey Stevo...you man just dropped into the disapproval column. 5555555555555 http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-poll-obamas-job-approval-takes-a-dive-as-gas-prices-spike-20120312,0,1571746.story?track=rss I'd gladly pay $5/gallon through November if it meant getting this jerk out of office. What's funny is this: there isn't much a President can do in the short term to get gasoline prices down. But he can do lots to raise the price. Seems like only 100 years ago that Barry was ragging on Bush for high gasoline prices. I suppose Barry, the fuckwit that he is, will blame GWB for this increase also. 555555555555 Flash...you don't dislike Barry but don't like some of those around him? You know the old saying about "birds of a feather"? Anyway nice to know he'll be taking the UK prime minister with him on AF 1 when he goes to the NCAA basketball tournament. I'm sure a lot of "work" will get done on that boondoggle. I'm trying to think of a nastygram to attach to my 1040 this year. HH
  14. Steve...I'm hoping that the libtards are as disenchanted with him as you claim. Maybe the Prince's fools will stay away from the voting polls. Centrist? 5555555555 Okay, if you say so. 555555555555 Tigers don't change their stripes. HH
  15. Flash...difficult not to get emotional when you see the President doing everything possible to fuck up the country by dividing the population (ethnicity v. ethnicity; gender v. gender as well as socio-economically). Internationally, he and his administration clearly couldn't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight. They don't know whether to shit or go blind on stuff. Barry is a fucking disgrace. At home, he and his administration trample the Constitution or try to rewrite it; his arrogance is absolutely apalling. He's the "Prince of Fools". As noted in a foreign newspaper, the country will be able to survive and reverse what Obama could do to the country if he had 8 years. But, sadly, the country may not be able to survive the fools who vote for somebody like Obama. HH
  16. Deleted so as not to insult the libtards. HH
  17. Holy Cow ! Something we can agree upon. 55555555555555 And I thought that the end of the world was scheduled for DECEMBER 2012. HH
  18. You mean "Demoncrap led Congress"? Actually, Steve, "Congress" is led by neither in totality. Quick "civics" refresher for ya. Congress is made up of the House and the Senate. Demoncraps control the Senate; Republicans control the House. :-) And, actually, the media often refers to poll numbers reflecting approval of "Congress" as various polls are conducted and results released. HH
  19. Saw some high profile Muslim admit that writing notes in the Koran was equally "disrespectful". So much for the indignation of the rioters. It's all bullshit. The assholes are just trying to stir up shit. I say, pull the troops and and send about 30 or 40 nukes into the country and wave good-bye in the night-time glow. (That is, if Barry has kept 30-40 nukes.) Steve...don't know if you can hear me inside that pod; but, just in case: I'm not big on being at all responsible for those who assume little or no responsibility for themselves or the country. I don't assume one teeny weeny bit of responsibility. And for those who have broken into my house (wetbacks illegally entering the country), fug em. I know Barry needs them and that's all the more reason to toss their butts back across the border. 55555555555 HH
  20. That's a HUGE load of you-know-what Stevo. Anyway, the reasons for not trying to shuffle civilian union workers are at least 2: 1.) their benefits are contractual obligations/bargaining agreements, whereas the military is not unionized and has no bargaining agreements: 2.) union employees support Barry, whereas I'd guess that most military personnel have no use for Barry and won't vote for him. (Recall how it was Republicans who demanded that the votes of foreign-serving military voters be counted 4 years ago?) It's a take-off on Barry's signature "class warefare" campaign message: "I will not allow the 1/2 of the citizens who don't pay taxes to shoulder the burden of the 1/2 of the citizens who don't pay their fair share". Something like that, anyway, eh? HH (Thinking Stevo was kidnapped and now being forced to send messages from some dark, cold room in Pyongyang.)
  21. Helen must've been doped up when she said that; or she was really fucked up. 555555555555 HH
  22. If you're still about 30 miles south of the DMZ, I can understand. 555555555 HH
  23. If you ask me, he isn't worth 2 cents. HH
