Do you truly think that our government can sustain that without abuse of power?
I don't think so.
You mean like the way they abuse the power they have over my tax dollars? I am legally obliged to pay taxes, and I have no say in how those tax dollars are used, or how the programs that spend those tax dollars dole them out. Isn't this basically the same thing as indentured servitude? I think so.

The only thing that needs to change is the sponge mentality by certain folks.Take, Take, Take and never contribute to society except giving Public Defenders a job.Most of your poor people CHOOSE to stay down.When you see generation after generation never succeding-theres a pattern.Change YOUR OWN attitude and change YOUR OWN life.Life is about making better choices-not freeloading off of the hard working taxpers.When people are eligible for Social Security it should be based on their yearly contribution.Stop blaming the whites and the Government for your lack of Initiative and Motivation.I'm sick of seeing people with 6 or more children with a 2nd grade education recieving housing and benefits.Hard work is the key!!!!!

Take care, everyone.

Post after post of racist whites who blame the black man.
Need I remind you of Katrina.
That was President Bush, a white man, who killed thousands of poor blacks.

The Repuks are a bunch of deniers.
They deny their social crimes vs the black man.
They deny their killing of thousands of blacks in New Orleans
They deny global warming.
Now they want to deny Black men their right to health care.
You people really are dangerous radicals and need the department of Homeland on your trail.

You're hilarious. Keep it up!

By the way, if you're serious, you're doing more harm than good for your "people."

I lve being called a racist it no longer has a bad meaning it is a badge that says no matter what you want to make up I have the courage to disagree even with the messiah. The term is thrown around so freely at anyone that disagrees with anyone that might be a minority it has no real meaning. However you do fit the orriginal intention of the meaning racist. Some one that uses race to detirmine their opinions of someone else. Please call me a racist it means more to me than it used to to the minorities LMFAO

That is the kind of attitude that is destroyed the country.
Your greed and self interest betray you.
Humans have no purpose or higher calling then to serve and help their fellow human.
Currently Americans have been given a choice to donate their time and effort and have failed the test.
Hopefully Obama will have some real teeth in Serve.org and we can punish those who do not volunteer for one of the many worthy endeavors.
CHANGE is here!
Be a part of it or be dragged along.
Either way you will accept the moral righteousness of Obama.

That is just sick.
People here in the inner city community have NOTHING!
They are hungry and poor and the best the racist right can offer is "get a job". That's just sad and morally wrong.
The community should be given the best the country can offer as just a small compensation for their pain and suffering.
A little part would be the free health care Obama has promised.
But no the racist Repukes don't want to give even that...sad.
2010 will soon be here and all Republicans will be swept out of office at every level and then we will see some real justice.
Just wait.
CHANGE is here, and more is coming.
Your post was written by a true grasshopper.

The Ant & The Grasshopper Fable - Modernized
Part I

Traditional Version: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house & storing supplies in preparation for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool, & laughs, dances & plays the summer time away. Come winter, the ant is warm & well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself by hard work & preparation!

The Democrat’s Version - 2009: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house & storing supplies in preparation for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool, & laughs, dances & plays the summer time away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper appears at a press conference with actor Martin Sheen, who demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm & well fed while others are cold & starving.

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, NPR & MSNBC all run segments on the evening news showing stark images of the shivering grasshopper, accompanied by video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast as the story quickly becomes national news.

On The View, self-described Shiksa non-grata Joy Behar screeches,“How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?”

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, & the audience is moved to tears as they sing “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”

Jesse Jackson & Reverend Jeremiah Wright stage a demonstration in front of the ant’s house, & all the networks are there to cover it. Jesse Jackson has the group kneel in prayer for the grasshopper’s sake, while Reverend Wright tells the press that the ant invented winter as part of a right-wing plot to exterminate all the grasshoppers.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with Larry King, claims the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, & calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant. Enraged, Pelosi vehemently decries,“It’s time he paid his fair share!”

The Ant & The Grasshopper – Modernized
Part II

The Obama/Biden administration puts pressure on the EEOC, which soon drafts the “Economic Equity Grasshopper Act,” retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The Bill is quickly passed by Congress after glowing endorsements from Pelosi, Reid, & even posthumous support from the late Ted Kennedy.

Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) denies allegations by FOX News that he offered to get the ant out of his tax troubles in exchange for sex.
The ant is fined heavily for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs to work at the ant hill he started from scratch. With his credit & reputation ruined, the ant hill is soon out of business, & the ant’s home is seized by the IRS for non-payment of back taxes.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recruits her old Whitewater law firm to represent the grasshopper pro-bono in a defamation lawsuit against the ant, & the case is tried before a panel of Federal Judges. All grasshoppers, the Judges were appointed by President Bill Clinton after a purported “exhaustive nationwide search,” which was actually a short list of card-carrying ACLU grasshoppers, & no judicial ants.

The ant is assigned the same lawyer O.J. Simpson had in Las Vegas as a public defender, & a request for a change of venue is denied. In a 7-0 decision, the ant loses the case. The ant’s unemployment benefits are garnished, & he is ordered to pay all his remaining liquid assets to the grasshopper as compensatory damages.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper drinking Crown Royal & finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow. The story appears as one paragraph on the bottom of page 17 of the New York Times, next to an ad for adult undergarments.

The grasshopper is later found dead in a drug-related incident, & the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who now terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood. They have no jobs, money or credit, but are able to obtain a mortgage for the home under guidelines mandated by the Obama/Biden administration, which guarantees equal-opportunity loans for low-income spiders.

MORAL OF THE STORY: In the immortal words of the late President Ronald Reagan,“A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. Recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his!” If the idea of Bush’s “3rd term” bothered you, then Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term ought to scare the living hell out of you. As Barack Obama says, let’s “spread the wealth around!”

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Scorpio

If you haven't seen certain people during the past few days, how about inviting them over for a drink or a meal? You're feeling sociable and will enjoy doing some light entertaining although you'll draw the line at anything too strenuous. It's a lovely day for being in familiar surroundings with some familiar faces, even if all you do is flop on the sofa.
