  1. The image problem is certain aspects of our population thinking they can act /be thugs without consequences.

    There's a difference between making sure you're safe and firing into a car of unarmed teenagers 8 or 9 times. Let's see what the facts turn up.

    Do you think you can go one day without tying something PT posts to the entire GOP? It's really getting old.

    It's really all he's got. Gawd knows he can't trade, or he wouldn't be running from his own challenge screaming like a little girl.

  6. He's FULL OF SHIT!

    The election boiled down to one thing and one thing only...

    (1) Ne'er do wells (takers) want the government to give them more freebies.

    (2) There are more "takers" than there are "makers".

    The "takers" WILL NOW WIN EVERY ELECTION AND DOMINATE POLICIAL POLICY ON "100% OF THE ISSUES" UNTIL THE COLLAPSE/REVOLUTION!

    Just this week Pravda had a news story stating "Obama is a Communist".... and that [paraphrasing], "...America fucked up voted for him... we were stupid (I say greedy, too) to have not learned from Russia's Communism experience..."

  8. you don't get it do you?
    When you are protecting yourself you don't have time to do a 3 month investigation as to exactly what weapons they have or their intent.Besides being outnumbered 5-6 to one is justification for deadly force anyway all by itself if you've already seen a gun barrel.

    Disparity of force is the legal term I believe. Did the shooter see a barrel or weapon in this case?

    "A Short History of Takers
    November 25, 2012, 3:15 pm

    "Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute is one of the unsung heroes of the recent election. His work claiming that we have become a nation of takers, reliant on the government to take care of us, helped define the tone and language with which Republicans talk to each other, especially when they don’t think anyone else is listening; hence Romney’s 47 percent remarks, and President Obama’s road to reelection. Thanks!

    "Now, many people have pointed out that Eberstadt’s alleged evidence for the taker hypothesis is really mainly just saying that Medicare and Medicaid have gotten a lot more expensive. So I’m doing prep work for classes next semester, and I thought I’d just graph government transfer payments other than Medicare/Medicaid as a share of GDP. Here’s what it looks like:

    "So, as I read it, this number shoots up in recessions and their aftermath, then declines again, hitting a low during the later Clinton years; but there’s really no trend since the early 70s.

    "Indeed: the taking thing is all about health care."
