Deranged lunatic or patriot?

sounds about right.

serfs taking care of the noblemen.


looks like neither. seems from what i've read that the car chase and shooting ended at the capitol by chance, not by design...but who knows?
word that she's dead....or that she's in custody. but that's par for the course, with news outlets all wanting to be 'first', but not necessarily correct.

the fact that this is a question makes me want to vomit.

They must have had to borrow the bullets from the 1.6 billion bullet stockpile at DHS (100% Fully Operational by the way, no furloughs or shutdowns there):

seeing as their stockroom @ CHPD is padlocked shut. :(

:tro:

yeah, i don't think anything that's going on merits violence. we have elections to get no-good pols out of office.

well...

just read one article that claims the woman tried to ram her car thru the white house gates, couldn't do so, and sped to the capitol with police in pursuit...

a child was with her, but wasn't harmed. still seeing she's 'in custody' and also that she was killed by police....

scary stuff.

oh, i'm soooo proud to be living in arkansas, with such fine representation....

Congressman Tweets About Democrats' "Violent Rhetoric" After Capitol Hill Shooting, Then Deletes It

The details of this afternoon's shooting outside the U.S. Capitol are still developing. Lawmakers and staff were told to shelter in place after shots rang out outside the Capitol, and one sheltered lawmaker took the opportunity to rag on Democrats' "violent rhetoric" during the government shutdown.

oh, what nerve!

Wow talk about being out of touch. The one who is responsible for causing the problem blaming those affected by the problem. He knew he would get his sound bite.

yeah, except his sound bite is him being an idiot!

http://news.msn.com/us/shutdown-in-3...rouble-looming

again, what nerve:

Boehner answered by batting blame back toward Obama and his "my-way-or-the-highway approach." Boehner said that if the president would negotiate to fix flaws in "Obamacare," the shutdown could end.

"The president's insistence on steamrolling ahead with this flawed program is irresponsible," said Boehner, R-Ohio.


my way or the highway? congress passed this law a few years ago. it's a law, because congress voted on it and passed it, and sent it to the prez to sign.
i know that the house voted 41 times to repeal it-all exercises in futility.
now, if anyone is exhibiting 'my way or the highway' thinking, it's people like boner and cruz. they have shutdown the entire govt because a portion of one branch of our govt doesn't like a law that was voted on, passed, and deemed constitutional.
all three branches passed this law. enough with the bs people!!!
and altho many don't like the law, most like the shutdown even less.

And held up by SCOTUS..Boner suffers from heat stroke, he needs to read that piece of paper he's aways waving around, the constitution:wf
Be sure to watch last nite's Stewart show,has it covered:D

Highly unexpected suspect? Clearly the lady had some issues.

Meanwhile, why not make some political hay -

>>> Barack Obama is having a lot of fun using the government shutdown to squeeze the public in imaginative ways. The point of the shutdown game is to see who can squeeze hardest, make the most pious speech and listen for the applause. It’s a variation on the grade-school ritual of “you show me yours, and I’ll show you mine.”.....

The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies. The rangers are from the government, and they’re only here to help.
“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”<<<

Repubs "shooting" themselves in the foot:

Now the important **** is getting cut. This thing will be resolved by Monday.

And more important stuff. Obama looking to convert military to Crips.

And in the throes of the shutdown, this article reminds me that the ACA, despite the attempt to provide health insurance for all, will still fail America in that, unfortunately, there is no cure for stupid.

http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health...are-8C11338371

Head-slapping section:

Ten kids whose health care is being paid for by the government. Listen, dude, whatever it is you think you're paying in taxes, believe me, you're costing the taxpayers a lot more than what you're paying in.

And he's running for the state legislature! Because nothing says "I hate government" more than "I want a government job."

the kock bros are telling younger people that they'd be better off 'paying the fine'. yes, because it makes perfect sense to gamble that because one is young, they won't need insurance. nothing bad EVER happens to young people. :rolleyes:

my husband works at a place owned by them; they showed all the employees a video the other day about being taxed on good health policies-cadillac plans.

so, now the employees (including my husband) are up in arms...well, hubby isn't up in arms now, when i explained that the health care plan they offer him and his co-workers is NOT a cadillac plan by any stretch of the imagination.
but who's going to explain that to all his hourly co-workers?


back to the article just above....

how does this collett person say that the govt has no role, while stating that the 10 kids are on medicaid? if that isn't cognitive dissonance, i don't know what is!!

Didnt we have a few on these boards against Obama and those on the government dole while also receiving SSI? It is mind boggling that someone cannot make the connection like the guy in the story.

Oh, Timm... whatever happened to him? I miss him. He was so very earnest in his postings of links to RedState.

I think the not-so-young gentleman in the article (what is he thinking? He's 41. Dude, your prostate is soon going to be doing things you're not going to be liking, if it isn't already) has persuaded himself that he pays more in taxes than he's getting back. A lot of people who get the EITC don't make the connection between the money that is taken out of their paychecks and the several thousand dollar check they get from the IRS in the spring. It doesn't occur to them that they are getting back everything they paid in taxes.

And they don't get inflation. People on Medicare now are getting far, far more out of it than they ever put in.

And I don't have an issue with this; I don't want him or his kids to starve, and I want old people to have some security in their declining years, but dude, at least show some appreciation for the fact that you live in a nation that has some kind of safety net and accept that you are depending on it. Those ain't your own bootstraps you're pulling yourself up by, because, without government aid, you ain't got no boots.

I am interested to hear Dell's thoughts on the man's family planning choices, seeing as how Dell has, in the past, expressed some strong opinions on poor urban families. ;)

and the guy will probably go in a nursing home in his dotage, and medicaid will pay for it.
but the govt shouldn't be in health care, according to him.

This guy is an example of why the government should not be involved in healthcare or childcare.

If we are to believe the story, here's a 'software designer' who makes under $9,500 dollars a year, ($95 dollars or 1% of all wages penalty) with 10 children and a wife. That comes to 182/week or $4.50 hour.

Why on earth would it be in the best interest of the country to force this man (he doesn't realize it but his insurance would be virtually free) into a policy that would offer any preventative care or for that matter even diagnostic testing, paid for by the hardworking, responsible taxpayer. The sooner he dies the better off the country.

Had this guy been financially responsible for the first child, or even the first few children on his own rather than receiving government support (actually tax-payer support) would he have ceased and desisted from having any more poorly bred offspring after the first few crops?

By rewarding poor judgment/decisions we tax good judgment/decisions. Kind of backwards dontcha think?

BTW something stinks about this story IMO.

govt shutdown looms
 

Death panel, far right style!


:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Not quite, just allowing nature to take its course.

It's illegal here to interfere with an injured deer. What damage is an injured deer going to do compared to the damage done by this guy's sperm?

He's so financially astute he can't even figure out he could double his salary by switching careers from program designer to Wal-Mart greeter.

Meanwhile the responsible taxpayer is expected to pick up the slack in yet more taxes and inflated healthcare costs, even if it's at the expense of providing a tutor, or in Obamaspeak pizza night, for his/her own kids.

No representation without taxation would be an ideal first step.

govt showdown looms
 

Unfortunately, I am in Rep. Yoho's district. He hates government, but couldn't wait to get into it, like the rest of the tea party crowd. He may, incidentally, be the only horse doctor in the legislature, but is certainly not the only horse's ass there.

:D:tro:

His job would pay 6 figures in the Northeast and probably 3 times what he is making in Bangalore. You are right something is not right with that story.

how in the world do some of these folks get elected?:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/20...ly_people.html

take note, that in the link i posted a few posts back, 'prioritizing' our debt is discussed-i hope anyone who is interested in this discussion reads that article.

And likewise I hope everyone realizes we purposely spent billions destroying running vehicles because they used too much gas. :zz:

Needlessly increasing the value of used vehicles for those who purchase used vehicles. This was considered a good idea/program and we've been downhill ever since.

Now they have gone too far:mad:...These idiots in Wash need a wake up call. Hold their pay and benefits..

http://www.today.com/news/shutdown-d...ers-8C11355842

:tro::tro:

i read this morning about more things that have stopped being processed because of the shutdown, including pay to next of kin of lost military members.
i read last week about the widow of a firefighter, who has had all benefits halted since the shutdown. she gave birth right after losing her husband. she's getting by on donations, etc.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. ...Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here'. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." Barack Obama March, 2006

A bit hollow when compared to

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies ie. (JUNKING PERFECTLY GOOD CARS ARTIFICIALLY INFLATING COSTS OF OTHER USED CARS :zz:). ...Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here'. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

So tired of both sides. Just default already.

I think it would be educational especially to seniors demonstrating America is out of cash and is unable to even survive month-to-month. We need a budget that resembles the money taken in. Actually we need a budget lower than what we're taking in in order to make a dent on the debt. We're spending like a crack whore with a stolen credit card. Without addressing the budget, there's no sense borrowing more money.

Obama not wanting to deal is similar to a trophy wife wanting her credit card back before she discussed any cutting back. Give them the money and neither is going to cut a thing.

We can't default so a 30-day supply of cash should be approved and revisited every 30 days until we get to a balanced budget.

It seems that you have anointed Cash for Clunkers as Ground Zero for all that is wrong financially with this country. Get over it as it pales in comparison to the 2 unfunded wars by a wide margin. Cash for Clunkers is just another example of politicians catering to a special interest group. The program sucked for sure but the whole process of government catering to the special interests to the detriment of all of us is really the problem. Your need to place blame on one party when BOTH parties are equally culpable shows that you are locked in some fantasy world of good vs evil when the reality of the situation is that it is EVIL vs EVIL. Bloods vs Crips.
