Default "Don't give up the ship"

Reel, I don't think it's about giving up. It's about recognizing that there are enough voters out there who when offered the choice, prefer a hand out to a hand up and they have happily re-elected Santa Claus. Evidence of the collapse of the work ethic. I don't mean to suggest that anyone who receives some kind of assitance from the government is not deserving, but it does demonstrate a growing collapse of the work ethic in this country. I believe we have a moral obligation to help those who can not help themselves. But we also need leadership that recognizes that compassion for the less fortunate includes maintaining the means to pay for that assistance. A strong economy not only helps to keep people from needing assitance, but creates the means to provide that assitance when it is needed. The presidents economic policy failures are wreckless and a crumbling economy benefits no one, rich or poor. You can't redistribute what does not exist and we can't borrow our way out of this either. We may hope not to be the next Greece, but it will happen if we don't change the direction we are headed. The hope for that change was just postponed for another 4 years. Destroyer, don't write America off just yet, it's not over until you quit.

I have a way to fix this next time:

We all register democrat and vote in a idiot to run against the other party's candidate and then we all vote for the republican party.

What a bunch of pussies. You want a government of the people, by the people, for the people as long as its white guys first. You better wake up and smell the coffee, white guys aint in first place any longer. If you are ready to throw in the towel now you have lost. I haven't posted here in a long while because I tire of the rigid, racist, hate filled venom. Get off your asses and push EVERY GOVERNMENT ELECTED OFFICAL to do their job. Wake up boys....

What's sad is I had a guy who works for me say how glad he was Obama won.....we'll see how happy about it he is when we start doin payroll cuts as well. Kinda ironic that I have to let you go to afford your soon to be arriving handouts.....

Drag I think race has A LOT to do with it You know how many people voted for him again because he's a black man and they are voting for the black guy by their own admission?!?!?! Now thats racist!!!!!!

Two old quotes hold about the same amount of water now:
If you sail West you'll sail off the edge of the world....
-and-
Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country......

I don't give a flying **** what color a man is, and as long as he pulls his own weight and leaves others alone he's fine in my book.

I am self-employed, and am overburdened with taxes to support the largess of this socialist soon to be 3rd world ****hole government we have.

The takers outnumber the makers. There are more people riding the wagon than are pulling it. There are more people drinking the water than hauling it. There are more mooches than producers. Pick one. We are ****ed, and the current government is not the solution.

They are scared to death of the future for the small businesses, as am I

I hope we can survive 4 more years.....
Explanations---They are like sheep---they just follow--do not know why--just follow.

Does the jim jones colony ring a bell??? You got it---in fact it is worse out here on this election---now gays can marry each other and you can get stoned in front of the capitial legally. WOW--crazy--I am highly disappointed in the people as are most I know--not all--but most.

I have a freind the same as you draglink--south of us in Oregon and was waiting for this election to see what he would do--he had the plans all laid out to expand north into Washington , guess what--now he is not expanding---is this small buisness people saying that they do not trust where the government is going---They are staying home and not expanding. Besides the Pres says they did not build their buisness or make it what it is and do not even own it.

Do not get me started---I am thinking I am going to get stoned for the next 4 years and I will not care what happens---anyone else what to join me???

Franco, up until now I've always thought that you were a fun kind of guy and I actually looked forward to your posts. Having said that let me say somethhg else.

As a general rule I've always found that the biggest racists are the whiners that constantly cry about racism. You're no different, and I see no reason to change my view. I cannot begin to express how highly offended I am by your post. How dare you call me a racist!!! You don't know me, you know nothing about me, you don't even know the color of my skin and yet as soon as you see something you don't like it's "Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa The big evil white man is a racist because he said something I don't like". Posts like yours make me want to puke!

This is a government of the people, by the people, for the people. I didn't see anything in there about white, black, red, yellow of any other color, so get off your tricycle, grow up, and can that kind of sh!t, because that dog just won't hunt around here!!!

I agree with you that we need to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions, but you have over half the nation wanting free everything. And, even though he's got the worst record in the history of our Country, they are willing to give scum like Obama a "do over" because he's promising them the moon. So you see, it really doesn't matter if I yell at my elected officials, or you do, because they are just going to continue doing whatever they damn well please and fu_k me and you and anyone else that doesn't like it. As long as they keep handing out free sh!t they know they will get re-elected.

(Oh, and not that it matters, but just for your information and for the record, as a race, white people are still in first place in this country.... by a huge majority).
