These arrogant high flyers

have no idea what gratitude/ appreciation means. They have a grand sense of entitlement where they are concerned and hold the rest of us in disdain and that includes this country, without which they would never have made it to where they are.

I firmly believe that they are traitors in the truest sense of the word and we, as a country, need to get a grip on common sense and backbone and put a stop to all this crap. They are involved in activities/organizations that are destroying us and we just keep shrugging. Shame on them and shame on us.

Right Bobbie, I doubt that they

assign ANY credit to America's capitalistic system and opportunities for their success. THEY are so magnificently superior that they would have succeeded anywhere, anytime. Egos, egos, egos.

Thanks for stopping by clyde

Isn't it egotistical for them to determine that the economic system that worked well enough to help them achieve success is now, all of a sudden, woefully screwed up and needs a face lift?

Every day I get up and it seems things get worse and worse. It is simply amazing how the Dems are ruining this country.

They may have started out

making a lot out of a little, but somewhere down the line the power that comes along after the money starts doing things to the soul that should have been reserved for God. They start believing they can be all, do all, and have all.

Our biggest hope lies in the power of prayer. All things are possible with God. To think we can accomplish much w/o Him is sheer foolishness and vanity.

They lust after money and power and would screw anyone in their way to get it, even if it's the greatest nation in the world.

And to some degree it is - they have so much influence on what happens and you and I have so little it's pathetic.

I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that most (if not all) of these moneyed bad guys are atheists.

They may not profess

to be athiests, but the fruits of their spiritual gardens betray them.

"By their fruits ye shall know them."
"To those whom I give much, I expect much."

Quoting from memory, may be a little off on the exact words. But those are just two of the quotes that may apply.

Ways to punih liberals

1. One could boycott certain products one knows liberal orgs. produce. 2. Continue to sign petitions, and write letters as I do, daily to these lunk heads blasting their agendas. 3. Drop all subscriptions to daily MSM newspapers. Hit them in the pocketbook. 4. Write the Libertarian Party and Const. Party leaders and ask them to rejoin the Pubs to unite against these liberal Quislings. Drop by.

Garnet, I have a theory

I think that at some time, some of the Leftist/Communists/Socialists decided that the best way to defeat the capitalist system (since they could never out-earn it with socialist principles) was to become capitalistic and rich in order to fund their political agenda. Just look at the guys you mentioned like Soros. Dedicated socialist in outlook, yet a very successful capitalist. How can these two things exist at the same time in one man? The answer is the Communist Dialectic wherein ANYTHING (lies, deception, and yes, even Capitalism itself) can be used to advance the cause of Socialism. Devious and evil, and very effective, especially when no one can stand up and make the case against it.
Sorry about your injury. Going to the Tea Party tomorrow?

Read these for my take on their putrid motivation.

The reasons

Liberals do not want more people to become rich because the more rich a person is the less they will need the government. That is why most people who lead the self-determined life are conservative. While those who do not believe in self-determination are liberal.

New post at my place on Barney Frank's opponent.

Hey now, we have had enough capitalism. Time to stop. I also laugh every time I hear people talking bad about the hedge funds, but hey, isn't that what Soros got a lot of his booty out of?

Oh, we need to level the playing field and just all be equal. Where is my TARP funds? And of course where is my new car, health care, college education and food stamps? Ugh!

Unfortunately, it was more painful than frustrating - it hurt like hell. I did finally go to a doctor and no fracture. I am FINALLY better and able to type and manipulate mouse.

Read them both, Glenn

and agree with your points in both posts. We really have allowed this ruling class to treat us like chattel and ignore our wishes - as if they didn't work FOR US.

It is our (collective) fault, we've screwed ourselves, a little at a time until now - it will be difficult to change the status quo.

MJSJR - at last, the polls are

We have reason to HOPE for a CHANGE!

Great pictures, BMU

Really sorry to have missed the party. I did catch Michelle's speech and some of the entertainment on YouTube. It is really only today that typing and mousing is without pain.

I guess I'll have to try harder at the next one.
