There is always room for more freeloaders.

The only thing I can say is, despite all that the non-MSM will try, and despite our sending a supposedly conservative Congress to DC in 2014, nothing appears to be changing. We will have the officially sanctioned puppets shoved down our throats or where ever in 2016. If something unfortunate should happen to Mrs. C, they will no doubt find a good taxidermist and ad some electronics and voila, we will have the next president. Not that we would be able to tell the difference from before and after. The Republicans will foist another bush on us whether wanted or not, and the Democrats have anointed HC. End of story.

Maybe they are smarter? Obama, who never had a job or responsibility, in his life, manages to buy an $8.5 Million beach-front mansion, and undoubtedly has the means to maintain it and the property taxes. And the Clinton's with nontaxable "$Billions" raised for their "charitable" foundation from unknown contributors. Al Gore is another amazingly successful Liberal. It goes on and on, and we might even find some successful Republicans, who "go along to get along" among" the newly American rich. It's not just the need for power that drives these people, and it's no wonder they spend $Millions to get elected to modest-salaried positions.<br />Regards,DenisOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-71095838767177553012015-03-20T18:49:24.291-04:002015-03-20T18:49:24.291-04:00One generalization after another.

The former depends on making new practical ideas work through hard work and exact application of science, which when successful creates a new tool, the latter tries to make a theoretical Utopian fiction work by trying to cram a lot of hot air and manipulated philosophical clap-trap into a make belief framework which when successful creates a new fool.mindRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160934421830568737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-47190214987366325772015-03-19T23:44:03.876-04:002015-03-19T23:44:03.876-04:00Excellent essay, and your examples are spot on as ...Excellent essay, and your examples are spot on as to the need to control being the bottom line motivation for everything that leftists do.<br />However, it's pretty clear that Hitlery's goal was to hide dirty dealings and corruption from prying eyes. Cockroaches and tyrants seek the darkness, not the light. <br />Personally, I much prefer cockroaches. If they could communicate with us, they'd at least probably be honest about what they were up to. <br />Politicians, do pretty much the same thing as cockroaches do on a smaller scale. They sneak around in the dark, sponge on the resources of others and spoil virtually everything they touch.<br />Yea, I prefer cockroaches.

Here I was, realizing that I'd been away for so long, and figuring I'd get a studied political opinion on the outcome of the Israeli election from my "most trusted Orthodox Jewish pundit." :) And you haven't written anything within the last week at least.

The influences, the ideas, the supply and demand that determine market rates for labor and materials, etc. The regulator is a type of consumer. He is only able to relate to the end product. The difference is his appetite is grafted onto your own. Imagine the egos that see their needs encompassing everyone's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
