Near the end of the article, Langone says, "I think it's a travesty for a man of my success and my means to get anything from the federal government." I agree, but then he goes on to say, "I think I should pay more taxes."<br /><br />Question: WHO'S STOPPING HIM? What he means is he thinks he, and everyone else of his means ought to be forced to pay more taxes ... he won't set an example and write a check. He wants the government to force others to unwillingly pay more because HE thinks is it the right thing to do.<br /><br />The left: they can't see the illogic, forced servitude, thievery, and stupidity of their own self-righteousness.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-88300470452401277652011-07-28T12:29:44.933-05:002011-07-28T12:29:44.933-05:00There is little doubt that Barack Obama is anchore...There is little doubt that Barack Obama is anchored soundly to the left and only moves a little to the center knowing he faces an uphill battle in 2012.

However I do disagree with NOT equating Obama and Hitler, Hitler and the Nazi party had the brown shirts that later became the SS. Obama has SCIU and their purple shirted goons. Hitler had the Nazi Youth groups, Obama wanted to create a paramilitary group out of our youth....I forget what speech it was when he was campaigning. Hitler rose to power by appealing to the "Common Man" and promising all of these changes for the common man. Obama rose to power by lying to the common man and promising hope and change. Hitler was a dictator, Obama wants to be a dictator, as a matter of fact he stated in a speech the other week that he still had 5 years in office, as if an election didn't matter. So yes there are a lot of parallels between these two EVIL men.Davienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-25217612237476190562011-07-27T18:58:12.826-05:002011-07-27T18:58:12.826-05:00@Earl- As long as you compromise and only drink ha...@Earl- As long as you compromise and only drink half of what you <i>could</i> drink, there's clearly no need to apologize.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-29882706533715229442011-07-27T18:47:55.764-05:002011-07-27T18:47:55.764-05:00I meant six trillion words. )And I confess.

You, and mill...Calling all delusional Liberals....<br /><br />You, and millions of your hateful buddies are shouting about how many TIMES the debt ceiling was raised under Reagan. Let's talk about the increments and totals. It pales in comparison, and the socialist money grabber that claims to be our "leader" would throw a hissy fit if he only got the borrowed money that came in during Reagan's EIGHT years. BO thinks the sky will cave in if he doesn't get $2.5 trillion per YEAR. Since some of you may be "math challenged," that comes to $20 TRILLION dollars over 8 years. <br /><br />Check out this link if you want some perspective....<br /><br />http://yossigestetner.com/2011/07/27/on-debt-ceiling-obama-is-being-spoiled-compared-to-reagan/<br /><br />One of the raises that Reagan signed raised the debt limit a whopping $20 billion. BO wouldn't bother bending over to pick that much up off the sidewalk.<br /><br />Obama and the Democrats have racked up over five trillion in increased spending during the first 3 years of his "leadership." The debt ceiling was raised under two trillion during Reagan's 8 years. We also got unprecedented job growth AND tax cuts under Reagan. We are now experiencing recored unemployement and the threat of tax increases. Sorry, no comparison.... The only thing Obama and Reagan have in common is they both lived in the White house.<br /><br />When all you libs are living in cardboard boxes and eating grass and twigs to stay alive, fell free to sit around the fire and discuss what a bad president Reagan was.Colbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-37940735842556445632011-07-27T12:07:09.316-05:002011-07-27T12:07:09.316-05:00Aaron...just because others did it in the past doe...Aaron...just because others did it in the past does not make it wise to keep on doing it.

It's how the left framed the debate about abortion for years: pro-choice vs. anti-abortion. "Pro" and "Choice" are wonderful, positive sounding words, while "Anti" and "Abortion" are the opposite. But when you look at the ideas behind the words, it reverses: what sounds positive results in death, while what sounds negative results in a life saved.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-26157169889922647932011-07-27T09:27:32.530-05:002011-07-27T09:27:32.530-05:00"The House and Senate are close to a deal.
