It is not O’s job or any of his agencies to make businesses more efficient.
Who gave these agencies the authority to control businesses?

They would be bound up worse than a man that ate nothing but cheese for six months!!!

It’s gotten to the point where I honestly believe Obama could request every policy you ragmuffins demand…and you’d oppose each and every one of them even if you yelled for it a minute before.

for all of your whining, boasting, and bragging about the TP and the “majority” it represents (majority of what is my question…Loon of the Month Club?) .. the question must be asked…what exactly did the TP accomplish in Congress in 2011?

C;mon..other than succeeding in dropping our credit rating, raising taxes on the Middle Class and givning the wealthy and the corporate elite even better tax benefits, just whatn ‘accomplishments” has the TP done for anyone?

Tea Party and members = Bunch of whining, no solution, know nothing losers if you ask anyone of sane mental stability

Sane and stable sure leaves you out Flashy.
Oh and BTW the tea party constricts king oblamas power grab-n-rule agenda in which is a blessed thing.

Raggs…I read day after day..cut this, slash this, impeach him, etc etc and not one shows any depth of thought whatsoever. Shallow, divisive, irrational, non constructive in every way.

The Tea Party has accomplshed NOTHING. It has as its agenda doing the bidding of the wealthy eilte and corporate special interests to leach off of America and hang the burden on the working middle class.

Solutions are provided…you just don’t like them.

If there is a problem, government makes it worse. If there is not a problem, then government will create one and make it worse.

Cutting and dismantling this leviathan abomination called government down to a size that is 1/10 of the size it is now would not be enough.

Sell off all government and state owned land except that land where the representatives of the people meet. Use the money to pay off the people who were duped into social security and other scams by government and get them out of every person’s life excepting when a objective crime is committed harming a person, their property, or contract.

You can choose to do business with a corporation, wealthy people or not in a Free Enterprise society (I have not seen Ronald McDonald on a street corner lately with an uzi forcing people to eat his cheeseburgers and not those at Burger King). I can choose Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper, juice, water etc. from many different companies, or collect rainwater to drink if I choose. I don’t have a choice concerning “government education”. I pay taxes if I have children or not, whether or not I send children to a private school, as a renter or land owner I pay. If however you don’t submit to government monopoly, agents of force will show up and incarcerate you.

Can ya connect the dots falshy?

Yep…and what you are proposing is the creation of an oligarhy where the masses have nothing, a small percentage have everything..and the “trickle down” we’ll be getting is colored yellow…

Reducing the size of government simply to reduce it is nothing more than an ill-thought, shallow, extremist suggestion which solves nothing and excerbates the situation of inequality and one sided rules.

try this…in the past 30 years, we have had GOP “conservative” presidents 20 of those. During which the “conservative” agenda was in large part promulgated into policy. During this past 30 years, income inquality jumped, the deficit skyrocketed (except during the Clinton admin…a Dem. I might remind you), and the rich and corporate elite made gadzillions, and the middle class went backwards in earning power..AND had to pay the welfare bills stacked up by the 1%.

Think about that…

@ Flashy,

First let me get this out of the way…lol, hahahaha, ROFL.

We already have an oligarchy in government that is in league with large corporations. Where in my post do you see me saying that large corporations should be given special treatment over the rights of individuals?

What don’t you understand about a FREE ENTERPRISE SOCIETY(synonymous with free choice)?

Where in my post did I say I belonged to the GOP (I don’t… and I despise the republocrats and their corrupt hijacking of the machinery of government)?

My well thought out, deeply considered, rational solution, would omit one of the largest contributors to and causal sources of our problems…government.

There has never been a FREE ENTERPRISE CAPITALIST system in this country.

Take your democrat party line to someone who has been put through and given a graduation certificate from a government education center and present your “facts” to them. They are more susceptible to your type of propaganda.

The government is one of the main reasons for “income inequality” as you put it. They hold people back who don’t have a team of lawyers and government compliance personnel from being in competition with the big corporations of your oligarchy in league with the Republocrats.

Should someone who engages in more risk, works twice as much, and is innovative in products and in the market place have an income “equal” to a production worker who punches in and out and watches TV and drinks beer on on his time off? Who decides what is “equal” Falshy?
You? A government panel? The Market?

Think about that

Your right you did not say you were a member of the GOP but you espoused their agenda as your beliefs so why blame someone for connecting those dots??

@smilee,

What planet are you living on? Take your false dichotomy to someone who falls for the old republican or democrat choice (hence the word republocrat a choice of no choice).

I have been a Libertarian for over 20 years. I don’t want the Republocrat agenda or their “solutions”. I want them and government out of people’s lives altogether except for protection of the citizens from foreign invaders, protection from domestic criminals, and a judicial sytem that prosecutes criminals.

If you think that is what the republican party wants…you better take a second look at their big statist agenda.

Look who is doing the whining because there are people on this site who don’t and won’t agree with your philosophy.

Well just look at what those here who refer to the new health care law as Obamacare, It is almost identical to the GOP counter proposal to what they called Hillarycare in the nineties and in 06 Romneycare in Mass it was put into law but when Obamas pushed it through into law they took a 180 degree flip flop on their former position, of course they now say it is different, and there are minor differences but all three require you by law to buy health insurance. They are now even taking it to court and by summer we will see if their flip flop is right or a revelation that they were right in the first place if yhe court will support their previous position as proper.

Dave,
you say the majority never speaks loud enough? Think back to Bush2 and Scamnesty. We flooded his and other politicians phone lines, emails, and mail boxes with so many LOUD voices we stopped amnesty for all those illegals here in the US. Did Adumber listen or LEARN from that?? Hell, no!! He just says the immigration agents can’t arrest any illegals unless they commit a violent crime. Well, Bubba, that’s TOO LATE!!!!

Please get off your “Majority Rules” soapboxes. The majority DOESN’T rule in America, and it shouldn’t. We are a Republic, not a democracy. The Constitution exists to protect the rights of minorities. Who was it who said, “Government needs to be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.”

Our Founding Fathers abhorred democracy and its “majority rules” ethic. That’s why they didn’t give us one. What we need to be focused on is whether a particular proposal is lawful (Constitutional) or not. Crying about the “majority” vs the “minority” is just another way of falling into the divide-and-conquer strategy. Why whine about class warfare politics when you’re falling for this?

When government governs properly, the majority and the minorities all benefit.

Well said, I don’t recall any power delegated to Congress that requires them to stand up to the bullies of the world. The power to declare war was intended for defense against attacks.

True, but a majority vote did put Obama in the White House, decisions are made by majorities but the Court can balance that power when the majority steps out of bounds

Obama has already sent more immigrants back sough of the border since he’s been in office than Bush II in his whole 8 years!

Dave; you should do your own fact checking. Do not just regirgitate what your master says. Where is your proof?

d, when or IF Obummer ever ships home the MILLIONS and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of illegals who are here NOW, let me know. Until then, take you ‘praise Obummer, love Obummer, worship Obummer’ and kindly SHOVE it as far as it will go, comrade [yes, my standard offer to ship any kookoid some petroleum jelly still stands].

It’s you who needs to do some fact checking as Dave is telling the truth apparently he has already done his fact checking

Smilee,
Only by numbers as there are MORE here now. go by Percentages, and he has done LESS.

Joey

Because of the bad economy and lack of jobs here the number coming has also dropped substantially, it is lower in both numbers and percentage, like I said earlier truth means nothing to you

Now you really sound suspect Joe. Immigration increased under Bush and has gone down under Obama. Don’t let your Obama hatred get into the way of facts.

Mike

She has a law license but has it in suspension as she is not practicing law at the present time. This is a common practice, your post does more to reveal your lack of knowledge and bias that anything intelligent

Smilee,
I’m suprised at YOUR lack of knowledge!! Her licence is on COURT ORDERED suspension!!!

That’s and out and out lie, but I’ve noticed the truth never was of any importance to you!!!

Thank You Comrade Alinsky!

Oh, skip so the rest of us SHOULD trip over each other in the bread lines to keep the redundant workers OUT of it??? ARE YOU CRAZY??? Think before you post, dude!!!

Apparently Joe likes the NWO people on both sides of the ocean who got us into WWI,Skip.

My three daughters were educated in the public school system all three received a great education.At no time did I ever observe a teacher trying to teach anything but the required curriculum.
With out unions the working class would still be in company towns

Senior Master Sgt Nam 68: As a public school grad a SP4 Nam 67 vet and father I can assure you public schools are not what they were before the federal statist govt took over with the dept of education.

Also as a former teamster I know the unions are no longer what they were when workers lived in company towns.

Unions and overreaching government have become self serving and the public be D—-D.

What needs to be done in for congress to develop a spine and get rid of all the useless and costly departments (EPA, DEA, IRS, BATFE), I think you get the picture. Truly downsize government.

True Country! I’m also a disabled Nam vet, and retired union member. I retired early, not because of physical problems, but because I could no longer support the counter-productive policies of the unions.
As for the DoE, it’s easy to determine its value to our youth. Begin a graph when DoE was created. Put money spent and our educational standing in the International community at ’0′, going foward the money spent line heads North at an ever accelerating rate, mirrored by the line repersenting our international standing Headed SOUTH!

countryboybubba,
Very correct!!! also, did you see the news story today about the bill that will now allow parents to have a say in their childs education? The school was using a book that called Jesus “a wino, drunkard socialist”, but our religeon isn’t under attack by the liberal left, now is it??

SMsgtZ wrote: “At no time did I ever observe a teacher trying to teach anything but the required curriculum.”

That’s the problem, sir! The required curriculum IS the problem!!

Jazzabelle, what are the odds that ‘sm’ EVER went to a school and SAW a teacher trying to teach any curriculum? Those odds are damned LOW, to be specific. Most parents couldn’t find their way to a school with a professional guide.
I’ll bet you a bottle of good wine that ‘sm’ was never a teacher, and will not admit that public schools are government indoctrination centers. Please, get your kids OUT of public schools!

If I remember correctly SM was proven to be a lier about several things about his military service and it was shown to be doubtful that he ever served especialy in a war zone.

Nothing against teachers. Teachers belonging to unions dont get raises based on merit. The bad one and the good one get the same raise. OK? This is why our kids are way, way, behind other countries. Bad teachers should be thrown out, good ones rewarded. Unions aren’t worried about our kids. They want the dollar. Everytime tehey put teachers up to squawking for a raise, it is a buck in the union’s pocket. Unions have given union dues to Democrat campaigns. Some of those dues have come from Republicans also. Maybe your kids got a good education. This isn’t always the case.

Due to unions, we are paying for a teacher’s salary, insurance in NY while she is off waiting for a trial. She is accused of child abuse. Wisconsin was broke. All govenor asked for was for the teachers to pay 6% toward their medical. The gov was trying to make a budget. Demos don’t know what that is. Nor care. The unions did $8 million in damages to the Madison state house and littered innocent people’s lawns. You know, teachers should be required to do without some also (as with other gov’t workers getting raises) as we are in a bad way right now. Obama says he owwes unions. We are pauying HIS union dues.

Unfortunately, the “required curriculum” is a huge part of the problem. But apparently, not for you. Whether you know it now or not, it is, and will continue to be a problem for your kids and for the rest of us who know the difference.

SM, maybe in their day; however, we are no longer living under the same teaching curriculum as we once were !! Have you been reading the news about what IS being taught today in many of the schools??? I think not, because if you had, you could not honestly make a statement such as you have made.

The Wanda’s of this world would eliminate education altogether – it has the potential to teach our children something other than that the earth came into being some 6015 years ago and only certain citizens have the true pathway to salvation, and the like. Education is the one way up for those in the 99% and we had better be sure we get the best we can. What we need is a huge amount of education in science and math, but also in history, ethics, morality, etc. – look at the mess we are in because our past Presidents and their advisers didn’t bother with knowing history and geography – and we got the combined catastrophes of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where our superior science and technology took us right down the plug hole. We are a potentially great nation, with the possibility of opportunity, but we are not the only nation on this earth.

skip,
Name one school system that teaches that!!! They are all too worried about teaching “Johnnie has two daddies/mommies to take time to teach math, science, reading!!! Ask any ninth grader to list ANY of the ammendments to the constitution and what they cover. Ask them to name THREE of our founders. The government doesn’t want them to know about the constitution because that way, when they violate it, the kids won’t even KNOW!!! BTW, I say this of both parties, or should I say all three parties!!!

RIGHT ON, JOE !!

Skip-

Human beings have an innate drive to learn, therefore it’s impossible to eliminate education altogether. But, our government schools are making a good honest go of it!

The indoctrination that shamefully passes for education is just one of the problems of a public education system already burdened by inefficiencies and other dysfunctions caused by bureaucracy, public union politics and the lack of competition. This one-size-fits-all progressive, revisionist model has some anecdotal high points, but for the most part, it results prove the disgrace that it really is.

Marie

You are the perfect little droan for this dictator. It is an election year. If you think Obummer is doing this out his own heart for America then you are an idiot. Besides it is not the cover of all these great things he has done while in office it is all the little extras added into all these geat things that is bad for America.

YET, he takes no action for a full year! One wonders why now? Not really! He is very transparent!

Ted,
Desperate times breed desperate actions!!!

A dictatorship is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual, the dictator. It has three possible meanings

A Roman dictator was the incumbent of a political office of the Roman Republic. Roman dictators were allocated absolute power during times of emergency. Their power was originally neither arbitrary nor unaccountable, being subject to law and requiring retrospective justification. There were no such dictatorships after the beginning of the 2nd century BC, and later dictators such as Sulla and the Roman Emperors exercised power much more personally and arbitrarily.
A government controlled by one person, or a small group of people. In this form of government the power rests entirely on the person or group of people, and can be obtained by force or by inheritance. The dictator(s) may also take away much of its peoples’ freedom.
In contemporary usage, dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.

So skip if you have read the above it appears that the shoe kits king oblamas foot very well.

Raggs,
Thank you I cvouldnt agree more. I am very lacking in the edu. needed to talk on any issue but hope more persons such as yourself be vocal about the state of America.
Thank you again.

Tiger, do not let the lack of education stop you !! You are just as important as anyone here stating their opinion. Good wisdom doesn’t always spell it just the way it should be, but wisdom gets things done, not education ! Keep giving your opinion. Sounds to me you are awake and sharp to see what has been going on, to take away our freedoms, and force things on America, that so many of us do not want !

Raggs, have you ever actually read the Constitution? Obama has not broken the law and certainly does not conduct himself like a dictator. That “honor” was taken by our last president George W.

You repubs. have been screaming for smaller government for the past two years (although you were strangely quiet during the Bush years) and now that Obama is trying to shrink the government, you scream Dictator!!!!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Try reading the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, you might develop and understanding of patriotism and love of country.

Karla, youo must be living in the twilight zone. O doesnt want smaller gov’t. If he did, he would eliminate the healthcare we don’t want nor can afford. This is hurting job ceation as small businesses cannot afford it, at least not right now. Dodd-Frank bill puts so many mandates on small businesses they cannot hire or expand. have you read it or know what it is? You don’t know how to read as obama is trashing the constitution. He said he couldn’t understand why it didn’t ahve retribution of wealth. Duh. That has never worked any place on earth, the Marx-Lenin, share and share alike. Wy should people who strive to get ahead in life have to pay for some lazy slob or some baby making queens,or be a husband to the ones who don’t want to get married as they get more living on the gov’t? People are puniched for tryig to better themselves. Demos always prey on the minorites for the vote and to keep them under their controlling commie thumbs.
Bush lowered taxes and we had work until Pelosi and Reid ran athings in 2007. Bush didn’t go into war without Congress approval. Bush never spend $4 trillion in 2 years with nothing to show for it. Bush had 2 wars with Demos ok, Kaatrina, 9/11 (thanks to Clinton’s cowardice on refusing to take bin Laden out when he had the chance, twice. Not to mention how many natural disasters to give money to i U
S. We had work, homes, building, and after 9/11 he kept us safe and started the border wich Pelosi refused to fund as she like the illegals for their votes. Bush protected us and this coward isn’t interested. He eliminated e-verify, and took ICE’s powes away in turning in illeals from workplace raids. He turned our missile defense over to Russia. Find out what START, INTERPOL is since you know so much. Check out how much this president has given to Hammas, our enemy on our borowed money from China. You have a lot oto learn

Karla are you NUTS or do you really believe what you said? Or maybe both. What do you Karla even know about the President? Oh, thats right his files are sealed. You are another person that votes and knows nothing..Blame Bush is really intelligent and you should read the constitution. NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAD CZARS or people that hated America as much as this president does. You really need to find another site that will agree with you.

Karla — I can’t speak for Raggs, but I have read the Constitution. And the Declaration of Independence. And passed a written test on both. When – and where – I was in school, The Constitution Test was the high point of the eighth grade, and a passing grade was a requisite for graduation from same. As a result, a very few short years later, I knew exactly what I was taking an oath to “Preserve, protect, and defend,” when I was sworn into the United States Army. Further, deponent sayeth not!

Well, I am not a Republican, but where have you been ??

flip, I don’t appreciate knowing that you would stoop to calling Wanda and Chip UTOPIANS. You’re just a mean-spirited, useful idiot, Obummer jockstrapping dolt, aren’t you? Have a nice day somewhere else, hypocrite.

SC…. if Obama put forth a policy to do exactly what you and the rest of the robotic mindless TPers state…you’d oppose it. your mind is so poisoned with irrational fear and hate, all programmed to you from your controllers…the wealthy and Corporate elite, you have no more independent thoughts remaining.

flashy,
we ALL, including YOU know that will NEVER happen! We want closed borders, Adumber will NEVER do that. We want much smaller government, Adumber will NEVER do that. We want the right to own and carry at will, Adumber will NEVER do that! We want to follow the constitution, and that my misguided friend, ADUMBER will NEVER DO!!!

Given Obama’s track record, why do you expect anyone to trust him without knowing the details? Why would we assume that the powers he’s asking for will be used for the reasons he states? Or should we just “pass the legislation so we can see what’s in it?”

You are so full of envy and jealousy and greed it is pitiful.

Just the opposite,we would say the world was round and O would be the one to say it was flat and he would make sure the contradictory people were punished for contradicting him.

s, why do you use two spellings for the same word? Beyond that, if you really think The Anointed Whatever is going to do America any favors by “consolidating” his obsessive “need” for complete control, you have serious mental issues.
Obummer doesn’t have ALL the power he needs? S, do you know what ‘megalomaniac’ means? I’m guessing that you don’t, or you wouldn’t have crammed both feet in your mouth and done it in a way that seems like a reflex.
Either you’re a closet Obummer jockstrapper, s, or your language skills jest ain’t kwite thay orta bee. If you can’t reason any better than you did today, I’ll have to conclude that you hang upside in a bat cave – and still think of yourself as ‘normal.’ Maybe a good air vent system would help.

Again one of the super bright correct someones spelling then misspell a word or use the wrong one. Using who’s instead of WHOSE(correct) when correcting someone else is not too illuminating!!! how about we concentrate on the issues at hand instead of correcting ones spullin od grammur???

SM…………..Why does so many, think they have the right to tell other exactly how they should write? If you have something to say, say it and leave others to do the same

A czar is someone the Prez picks for a certain job. The 44 czars Obama has would never have been vetted by Senate. Some would ok them as they are anti-American also. If you, or anyone else cares to find out about the czars obama picked, you will know why everyone complains. They are all anti-business and/or anti-gun, anti-free speeech, anti-free enterprise, pro-drug legalization, one world gov’t, anti-capitalism, all for big gov’t and gov’t running things, spending our money since we are too stupid to. One was a chld abuser, named education czar. Holdren is a real nut, check him out. This is the president’s pick. Your liberal mainstream media will never tell you this. There are some reliable websites where you can find the truth. Liberals don;t like logic or truth.

Well, SM, from your reply, we have ascertained that you can spell, I might also add that you did not include both spellings, as the term is also spelled Tzar, which it totally irrelevant. Also the face that FIRE needed to air his/her opinion, should never have come up, since the persons reading these responses, are often sight impaired ! Never the less, it is still a free country and FIRE still has the right to print in either lower case, or higher case, which ever, he/she prefers !

Now to the real reason for these responses, we are here to discuss the reason that many are not allowing Mr. Obama to have enough control, is simply because, he is on the wrong side!! He has not the mentality nor the beliefs such as the presidents you mentioned in the past ! This is NOT A MARXIST, COMMUNIST, OR PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY !!
THEREFORE, HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SELECT HIS “PANELISTS”, SO HE CAN HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TRY TO CRAM HIS BELIEFS, AND DESIRES DOWN AMERICANS’ THROATS !! Let them go to countries where their beliefs and goals ARE welcomed…this also includes his kind, which apparently, you are one of those, judging from your opinions, and bad manners, in condemning another person for the way they write or spell. I am a very educated person, and FIRE did not bother me one iota with the way he/she wrote or spelled. I had NO trouble understanding what they meant. Shame on you !
