Good read.

Sludge written by a committed Socialist. There are so many fallacies in his drivel that it's a waste of time unraveling it.

It did not make sense. It seemed to me that he was praising Obama for firing the head of GM. I think he even called it an "all net three pointer".

Nowhere in the constitution does it give the president the right to do that. His job as head of the Executive Branch of our Goverment is to enforce the laws of this country and to keep us safe.

The Legislative Branch writes the laws and the Judicial Branch tell us what the laws mean and how we can and cannot enforce them. We have major problems when the Judicial Branch starts legislating. By the same token we have a huge problem when any branch of the goverment starts messing around with things that arent under their purview.

Mr. Moore was just praising his liberal, socialist and almost communist friend Obama.

The important thing to understand here is that he is actually recognizing that the union workers are about to experience some difficulties because of Obama. This is the part that makes sense, separate from Mr. Moore's world view and manner of articulation.

I don't read Moore's stuff even if it might make sence. The guy is nothing more than a fat worthless socialist slob.

TM,
I'm surprised at you, sir!

It doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution that government can't dispense with employees when they are caustodians of our money put into an investment requiring a restructure

The problem is that it doesn't say that he CAN! Does the big O now have the ability to point at private citizens working for non-governmental companies and say "You're FIRED"? I better get off of the computer and get to work, don't want to get fired by the Prez.

You don't get it. The government took it over when they kept it afloat. When they agreed to infuse billions of our tax dollars the leadership of GM agreed to abide by the governments decision. It's not usual in private takeovers, it's just that this time it's not a private equity group.

This IS NOT a constitutional issue.

I am starting to worry......just what other move by the Obamasan will people rationalize and accept with out the blink of an eye?

I believe Ronald Reagan once said "politics may be the second oldest profession but it bears a striking resemblence to the oldest". He also said "you can tell alot about a person by the way he eats jellybeans". I havent seen Obama eat one yet so I am withholding judgment.

Sorry about the humor...keeps me from screaming.

Could you go into the jellybean thing some more? I am not sure I follow you on that one. Dale

I think he meant that some people just put a handful in their mouth, and others pick out the different flavors and eat them separately, so you can actually taste each one.

Can you see a personality difference?

kinslayer1965 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 01, 2009, 04:57:04 PM »

I think he meant you could tell alot about somebody by watching them doing the simplest of things. He had a very simple way of expressing some very important ideas. When ask what his policy would be concerning the cold war he said "we win they loose". Can't get much simpler than that. I wish everybody would state there intentions and ideas as simply. there would be a lot less misunderstandings. I am a huge Ronald Reagan fan. probably couldn't tell that from my post huh?

I tend to eat just the colors I like. You would never see me throw a handfull of mixed one in my mouth.

He gave talk at the VFW hall where I live several years ago. When he got done he ran out the back door before a guy with a rope could get to him. His sister lives 5 miles away but he went to Sfran (the gay city by the bay)/ He knew his odds were not good here in the MTS. I dint go to the meeting but one of the LEO's told me what happen.

I have a funny story involving this topic. My company underwent "Diversity Training".....yeah.... Part of the program was that we got "Diversity Beans" to eat. Basically, they are jelly beans where the color does not match the flavor...eg black may be cherry and green may be black licorice, etc... Well, the 1st one I ate was pink and it was black licorice which I hate. I immediately spit it out in the trash. The theory behind the activity is that you can't judge what is inside by the color of the outside.

At the end of the course the instructor called on me and asked me what lesson I learned. I told her that I learned to not eat any of them because black licorice makes me gag. She was not amused and during the follow up meeting I was informed that my humor is not always understood by all and probably better kept to my self in public settings.

No interest in Moore, the human doorstop

Don't you love WylieKy's example. When you don't give them the PC answer they want and it frustrates the hell out of them.

Wylie,

Too bad she didn't appreciate your sense of humor. Sounds like she needs to change the way she does things not you.
