You all picking up the latest Repub comebacks?
Edited on Mon Feb-23-09 12:53 AM by The Backlash Cometh
I received an e-mail with comments like, "We use to laugh about it, but now it's here." in reference to Margaret Thatcher's comment, "The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of someone else's money." I wrote back and told them that the same can be said about capitalism.

And, they're sending the Wizard of Id cartoon which is mocking Obama's efforts to provide some kind of safety net in these coming hard times (Free food stamps, free health care) and the punch line is, basically, what do we need jobs for if we're getting it all free? I had no idea the Wizard of Id was a right-winger.

Oh, and it's not the banks and lender's fault that so many people with bad credit got loans. They think individuals must take responsibility for the failed economy -- alone.

Repubs really don't have much repertoire, do they?

I think I know why obama sent back the bust of Sir Winston Churchill:

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

The man that saved Democracy in the twencen was spot on.  Obama is doing exactly the above.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'd gladly let the wingnuts opt out of society...which is what socialism is. By all means, they can stop using my socialist police department or garbage collection or socialist greens keepers at the county-owned golf club. Yep...they feel entitled...the rest of us owe them...and I'm all in favor of them getting as little as they truly deserve.
 

Oh, is THAT what socialism is?  And I'm all in favor of giving you, Kharmatrain, what you deserve from me.

If we opt out of the paying for those items and can go to the private sector I'm all for it.

BTW DUmbass the garbage is a private enterprise..DUchebag.

I'm sure Kharmatrain would be glad to let all us "wingnuts" opt out...that is, of course, as long as we all continued to foot the bill for her socialist utopia.

And that right there is where the DUmmies reveal the short sightedness of their thinking.

They fail to realize that if us wingnuts opt out...our money opts out WITH us.

Then THEY will have to go get a job and pay for their bajillion entitlements.

Ok, once again the DUmmies prove they are too stupid to live. I just wish it was "too stupid to breathe".

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Sure, the same can be said about capitalism, but it wouldn't be true to say it.  OTOH, it's true to say it about socialism.

When the simple passes by them so easily, it's no wonder that the more complex is beyond their reach.
