    Pelosi quote: the disconnect

    Pelosi said that the founding fathers would love the bill because it is under the idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    Doesn't that make you throw up a little?

    This is the disconnect I'm talking about. There are socialists trying to (and succeeding in) socializing our great country. They are numerous. Their philosophy is 100% against capitalism and personal responsibility.

    In my eyes, I have no use for these people. We CANNOT reconcile the two differences. There is no compromise.

    This is why I think a heavy dose of states' rights is in order. If not, it's socialism or secession. You cannot pick status quo without picking eventual total socialism.

    There was actually someone defending the bill on NBC who when talking about the cost to people making more than $200,000 a year said that "It was about time that the super-rich paid their fair share. They've had it so great under Reagan and Bush, it's time to bring them down a notch." Does he even realize what he is saying? That is a paraphrase of what Lenin said when describing the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!!!

    And these people claim that they have the founding fathers on their side? SMH...

    That's what I mean. There is a disconnect that is unreconcilable with freedom-loving americans.

    200,000 a year is not "super rich."

    Ha, that's what I was thinking. Unbelievable. What do they consider all the Hollywood crazies then? Or the President?

    Re: Pelosi quote: the disconnect

    Speaking of disconnect.




    As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the USAF released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi's use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16, Issue 12.

    Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen month period.

    Several of these flights included Ms Pelosi's guests such as grown children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends, and hangers-on. Over 95% of the trips were between the west coast and Washington, DC or what we might call a commute between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!!

    Total trips: 85 trips over a 68 week period or 1.25 average trips per week.
    Total mileage: 206,264 miles or 2,427 average miles per trip
    Total flying time: 428.6 hours or an average of 5 hrs per trip
    Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744.59 or $27,715.00 per trip or $1,285,162.00 per year
    Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429.14 or $1,193.00 per trip or $62,051.00 per year.

    On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J Brandy, Bailey's Irish Creme, Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewars Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine. This was obviously a very important "gubment bidness" trip.

    Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial drinking problem, for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American! When she said, "... if the stimulus doesn't pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...", I thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. I'm now more inclined to think she was pickled.

    Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can either fly on her broom, or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free.

    I'm pretty liberal (at least by this board's standards), but I read her comments and felt thoroughly offended.

    Which, as I understand it, is why this organization exists.
