Vitriol Espresso"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis
I can't believe they're going to reinstate this piece of garbage. To actually tell them that they're a burden on their families so ending it all might be the best choice? What the fuck is this?
They're filling my moat with sand now. After repairing the gas lines and shoring up other things it's almost finished. Except they're about to dig a huge trench down the center of the lawn (horizontally), cut out most of my sidewalk, and tear up my grass to fix the water line. I guess it's now a zigzag for some god-forsaken reason.
I raise my glass to the end of mowing for this year. :) Always gotta be a bright side to things, yanno.
I OPPOSE SINGLE PAYER (GOVERNMENT) ISSUED HEALTH CARE.
No, I don't like eugenics. No, I'm not for killing the elderly and infirm. No, these people should NOT continue to represent me. No, this is not what the founding fathers wanted for their descendants. In short:
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson
The healthcare bill isn't about healthcare. It's about taking away your right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's a direct anathema to the Constitution of the United States. None of the people who want to sign this into law has read it all the way through (and they freely admit it). The Democratic Party has begun the next Revolution by calling out their thugs to beat down dissent.
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
Read the bill. Read the 'Cash for Clunkers' bill. Read anything else up for grabs on the floor in Congress and you will see a disturbing trend. Money goes from your pocket to the hands of special interests in EVERY SINGLE ONE. Lobbyists have finally taken over the country. Lobbyists for companies all over the world.
Here's your warning. We knew it was coming. This is socialist-marxist America.

Small Update: You know, I have to wonder what the impetus is behind this so-called program, it's computer piracy, and subsequent loss of rights. Does anyone even realize that 'clunkers' are typically /without/ most electronic devices? My old car is wonderful. It's easy to maintain, easy to fix, and easy to run. It has nothing electronic that would stop it from starting even if the electrical system were put out of commission. A screwdriver and a push would start it in an emergency. Can more modern cars say the same? I doubt it. Nor does it have anything even remotely resembling GPS. Something to think about.
