Enough said Dann, with you it's one way.

Thanks for proving the point.

Didn't I hear Mitt say he'd evaluate a government program and if it was worth borrowing from the Chinese to keep it, he would and if it wasn't, he wouldn't?

If we don't keep borrowing from the Chinese, where will the money come from?

It will come from increased tax revenue to the government bolstered by the enaction of laws that are friendly to business. Romney knows how to implement this. Of course anybody getting a government check is afraid of this since it requires hard work, entrepreneurship, and risk taking. It has been done before.

He knows how to do business, Oblatant knows how to lie and try to institute socialism.

Is Ron Paul still on the ballot? If he gets elected, can I get legal heroin? I'll want to try it when he allows Iran to have all the nukes they want.

Why are you OK with the idea the government is your Mommy and Daddy and has the ability to tell you what you may or may not put in your body?

Are you of the opinion that government owns you and therefore has a say in how you take care of yourself?

As to Iran having nukes, there isn't a thing we can rightfully say about what a sovereign country chooses to do. But I'm sure you'll try and then you'll probably explain to me what we are so hated around the world. I keep forgetting...something about being free and great....

I'll respond to your eccentric questions

I don't live in an etherial fantasy world where everybody gets along. That's humanism. I recognize that as a citizen of a society I have to abide by some rules. I appreciate my civil rights and don't want them infringed upon.

Wherever did you get that idea? Live free or die bitch. I don't feel restricted or opressed yet but I recognize some serious issues with the constitution. I'm totally opposed to Obamacare and feel it is detrimental to the economy in measurable ways.

I don't know what you think we are hated for why don't you explain it. Name a freer or greater country and tell me why you don't go there if it's so bad here. You're free to do so.
The actions of sovereign nations are complex; we're involved in the world, and I don't know if you advocate a total laissez faire policy. If so, how do you think the turmoil quotient will react? Instant world peace or something? You don't seem to recognize that the whole world does actually hate us and in particular radical islam that is more determined than ever to militarize and violently oppose us. I don't want war, just peace through superior firepower.

You'd make a great general. Always fighting the last war.

In case you haven't noticed, that policy doesn't work anymore.

I'd explain it all to you but you aren't going to take my word for any of it and there's no way I could accurately relate a decade of research that led me to my current philosophy.

No I wouldn't, I'm too old to go through West Point. I only have a rudimentary knowledge of warfare and a slightly above average knowledge of US history.
So should I have taken your word on that?

That's because of who is The Commander in Chief now.

What you would explain to me is your oddball opinion. And if you couldn't accurately relate your "decade of research", then you aren't much of a teacher either.

Back to the topic; again, I would have been OK with the GRANT to A123 if it had have worked out. Obama is bad news and the country is ready to send him back to Kenya.

I'm not even OK with a grant.

Where is that in the Constitution and how does that square with your "fiscal responsibility" mantra?

For that matter how does that promote "free markets" if one company gets a leg up on all others through government intervention?
