Economic Stimulus

[thegladhatter]

Actually the liberals currently want to get after Rush Limbaugh. Rush is only guilty of disagreeing with the Marxist in the Whitehouse. I guess freedom of speech is only for the liberals and those who agree with them. I'm telling you...it's Dr Zhivago in real life.

I blame the Democratically controled Congress of the last few years. Bush tried to stop them, but was blocked at every turn. Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and all their butt buddies are to blame.

I was of the impression that it's just part of the observed ten year boom-bust cycle. In that respect, it is the system that has a flaw and at fault and not any individual or group of individuals.

Here is a good laugh. Man, I almost fell out of my chair on this one.

TEXAS....LEAVE!!! Civil war is coming for sure though, no doubt.

[BNaylor]

Although it is wishful thinking IMO Texas could pull it off.

Regardless this Russian professor former KGB is a crackpot along with the Russian media. I wonder what he has been smoking.

Here is a link from the WSJ that has a better static view of that map of the U.S. sectioned off in pieces. I am still trying to figure how he came about this one.

BTW - I would rather be in a sovereign republic under Texas than part of Canada or the European Union. And Hawaii to China or Japan or Alaska to Russia?


And how long did the Soviet Union last? 70 years and then broke up into pieces.

You will have to qualify to get a break on the existing mortgage. This gov web site (still under construction) will have the details.

Alright, alright, I'll go back and put a couple of smileys after that statement.

Glad to see that Georgia was included as part of the "Texas Republic" I am a Texan, and have no objection to being part of the new "Texas Republic"! In fact, I am ready for a divorce!

Divorce Agreement between Liberal and Conservative America

I got this through one of the many 2nd amendment groups I belong to.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America can not and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don't like re-distributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe health care is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just ignore it. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

HotZ28

P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

P.P.S Of course you could not forget Pelosi as leader of the gang!

I like how America Jr. (Canada) would go to own/influence the largest piece of land when the United States split. To be honest, it looks like something a child conjured up. So the eastern part would be European because it was once, and is a high density populated area of Europeans and decendents. Then, most of the north goes to Canada because that's what it is closest to and the south goes to Mexican influence because that is who it is closest to? And then of course, the enormous California state would influence the western part in which case everybody would be sniffing their own farts (inside joke that some here may get). Now that is change we can all believe in.

Transportation funds of stimulus package released, expected to create up to 400,000 jobs...

Stimulus Spurs Road Projects, Big and Small

The goal of the stimulus plan was to put people to work quickly, and so states across the country have begun to spend nearly $50 billion on thousands of smaller transportation projects that could employ up to 400,000 people, by the administration’s estimates.

Too bad that only the illegal immigrants will be willing to work on the "highway improvement" projects!

[VR43000GT]

HotZ28, I wouldn't be surprised if half of that money is shipped back to Mexico.

Yes, that is typical of those willing to work & support their families. The majority come here for the purpose of providing for their families and that is a tradition of the culture, unlike many here, who prefer to do nothing & expect a handout!

Yeah, that guy is definitely crazy... no way Florida would join with Texas, everyone knows that there are only two things in Texas....

Seriously though, how is it that this guy gets airtime and everyone listens, but when American Ron Paul starts to make a valid point, he gets cut-off and called crazy?

[CL8]

You guys laugh at that, but can't you see the writing on the wall already?

Doesn't it make you want to cry?

Our great nation is being destroyed before our eyes.

It may not happen that exact way, but it's coming.
