Democrat Culture of Corruption Precludes Patriotism

Charlie was corrupt long before Obama's 15 minute national political career; he's just operating under new management now and will have to send more up to the Godfather than before is all...

Charlie? Do you mean when he was running the candy factory?
 
Pergy too!


It was my way of voting FOR Obama because the new-age voters forgot or were born before the lessons of Jimmy Carter.

Now, they know...

Jimmy Carter? :eek: My God man, you must have gone through the whole Spanish Flu epidemic. I'm sure you'll be fine when the swine flu kills us all. :nana:
 
Income tax bill never passed the congress.

They coned you, Americans.

They snuck up on me...

Endeavor to persevere! We thought about those words and then we made war on the White Man.

Now even the women are sneaking up on me.

I like teepee livin'!
 
Fascism = The Brave New Patriotism!

Immelt embraces the notion of a new era of capitalism where companies coordinate their efforts with the government. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club in June, Immelt said, “We should welcome the government as a catalyst for leadership and change.” He added, “America should get busy addressing the two biggest global challenges – clean energy and affordable health care.”

Immelt is doing more than echoing Obama’s campaign rhetoric of “change”: He has GE actively advancing the president’s policies, especially cap-and-trade.

Through its participation in the United States Climate Action Partnership – a cap-and-trade lobbying group – GE helped push the Waxman-Markey bill over the goal line in the House of Representatives. In doing so, the company was able to load the bill with provisions that will boost GE’s sales in “clean energy” products.

Even more disturbing, if true, GE’s support of Obama may have positively influenced the terms of a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over allegations the company was “cooking the books” to meet quarterly earnings expectations.

For a mere $50 million, GE settled four instances of accounting irregularities including engineering fake sales of locomotives to accelerate end-of-year earnings.

Following Enron, Sarbanes-Oxley and concerns of Wall Street greed, it’s amazing that GE escaped stiffer penalties from the SEC and show trial inquiries from the anti-business Congress.

But then again, Immelt is on Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board and the last thing the president needs is to draw public attention to the possibility that a Bernie Madoff-type CEO serves as a presidential adviser.

Unfortunately, it appears that CEOs whose business strategies are in sync with Obama’s calls for greater government control will be rewarded while those who confront Obama’s plans for America will be punished.

This observation may explain why drug companies are lining up to cut a deal with Obama on health care and energy and utility companies are cutting deals with Congress on cap-and-trade.

Because of the critical role corporations play in public policy, liberty-minded citizens need to be willing to engage CEOs as they do elected officials. Participation at shareholder meetings and tea party rallies at corporate headquarters should be on the agenda.

Otherwise, business leaders will take the path of least resistance. They will join Obama and selling all of us out.

Where's the Democrat outrage?

:confused:



Is tax-cheating the new black?


Did you use it all up on Bush and Cheney?

Zippy??? Have you had your lol today?

U_D, is it all lies?
 
Democrats and Republicans are organized crime operations wrapped in the flag to keep the stupid people in line.
 
I'm a Libertarian. I voted for Bob Barr.

Sure you did, Cap'n.

A man who spends hours every day defending George W. Bush is no friend of Mr. Barr and his ideals. Everyone calls you a deceiver and this is yet another case of your total BS. You are another big spending Republican on the Christianity-for-all bandwagon.

Anyone who knows anything about Libertarians can spot a fake in two seconds. You are a phony.
 
The democrats don't think in terms of "What makes the most sense for the government and the people"

Because they are consortium of special interests loosely bound together they don't stand for anything in particular so there's no overall governing philosophy. The result is a thirst for power at any cost and corruption isn't something to slow them down or to cause any concern whatsoever. It's another reason that they don't hesitate at all to take away freedoms from the American people because all they're interested in is advancing their "special interests" and they often have to retreat to deciept to make it sound palatable to the general public (because in most cases what's good for their special interests is bad for the country).

Their main constituancies are: 1) Trial Lawyers, 2) Unions, 3) Government unions to include teachers unions, SIEU, etc. 4) "identity politics" and a myriad of other smaller groups and organizations that are angling for some sort of "free" government largess.

applause...

seriously...?
what's the national debt being rung up by "so-called Christian", democrat, Barack Obama?
9 trillion? 11 trillion?
 
Back before the elections when the Republicans were the evil ones and Joe Biden was telling us paying more taxes was the sign of patriotism, we knew that Charlie Rangel, for one had cheated on his taxes, saying that they started spiccin' Spanish as his defense...

Now my question for the backers of the ruling party is this,

What is the doublethink that goes behind the silence on your part? Is it race, or is it just that in the collective, you are not allowed to judge your fellow playgrounders in order to keep the playing ground level?

???

Actually, I think it's more of a widespread perception that the misdeeds, if any, of this or that particular Congresscritter, D or R, are not all that important in the larger scheme of things, therefore neither defense nor confessional is urgently required of the average Democratic voter/supporter. E.g., I doubt you will find any rank-and-file Dems who will seriously defend the indefensible former Rep. William J. Jefferson of Louisiana; nor any who will take the indefensible view that Jefferson's case alone somehow discredits the Democratic Party or proves it more corrupt than the GOP. Both parties have their corrupt members, but they're the only games in town that matter; if you want to be an activist who contributes anything of value, you have to hold your nose.

Both the Republican and Democratic parties want your money and covet the power.

When the Republicans were in power they did the same crap as the Democrats. The only difference is which influential pet programs and industries get to be at the trough.
