Your union has never cut a paycheck to you. They've never had to balance a budget of a major airline, purchase fuel for airplanes and any of the other mundane jobs that keep an airline running. So, go ahead and protest all you want. If you don't like the work conditions, quit your job and join the other 20+ million other Americans looking for a job. Good luck.

Let Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran come to the aid of their fellow "muslims". The only role Washington should play is one of monitoring what's happening.....you idiots in Congress should ignore what's going on because we can't afford it and nothing we do will ever be enough to correct the problem in these sh!thole countries. Sure, it's an international outrage that Syria is killing its own citizens.....but what business is that of ours? Let the islamic savages do what they always do, murder each other and torch everything in sight. Eventually, they run out of people to murder...problem solved.

Tell Japan to go **** themselves and pull out every last Marine, Airman and Soldier off the island of Okinawa and the last man off the island, raise his right hand and flip them the bird. You see how easy that is?

It's really that simple. You see, the UN climate change scam has failed to attract enough nations to support it so they've got to come up with another scam to extort money out of the "richer" nations in order to keep the money coming in, prostitutes paid and the liquor flowing all the while setting up dummy "humanitarian agencies" to handle the "money" and they get to decide who gets "help" and who doesn't. If you're an islamic despot like Obama's "uncle" in Africa, you'll get millions of dollars to "help the poor" and the money will mysteriously end up in a Swiss bank account and the people will continue to die of starvation or worse yet, being butchered in the name of Allah over some tribal beef. It doesn't matter what we think. They'll impose the tax on all of us and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

If anyone wants to figure out what's going to happen when Iran starts an all out war with Israel, it doesn't take a genius to figure out which side he'll choose. I hope Stephen Spielberg and the Weinstein brothers are getting their money's worth by donating to Obama...his legacy and the results of his policies will be the same as the "leader" that was in power in Germany during World War II Sun, 5 Feb 2012 00:46:01 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.0dd2431bccd6950e081eb6d881d32b4a.551&show_article=1#IDComment284099512 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9SMNVQ80&show_article=1#IDComment283914149 You gotta love how the liberal progressive marxist Margaret Sanger abortion mill lovers have twisted this into their latest "cause". For starters, Planned Parenthood does not do mammogram screenings. That's a fact. What Planned Parenthood does do is butcher human beings while still in a woman's body and remove the cut up parts with a suction hose. I fail to see how a charity, the Susan G. Komen foundation, would have anything to do with death and dismemberment when the very cause is dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer....you know, like keeping a woman from dying? Kind of ironic, don't you think?

Gone are the days of America being a "shining city on the hill" with a "thousand points of light" to ensure innocents abroad are protected from tyranny and despotism wherever it may rear its ugly head. Not any more. Under Obama, it's "hide under the desk" and cower in fear that we might just offend someone else's "feelings". Sending letters that "strongly condemn" what is happening in Syria are thrown in the circular file after reading it among howls of laughter.

I have an answer for them....the GDP grew only 1.7% all of last year....that means that the economy is very weak, it is not recovering and the only explanation for the "drop" in unemployment numbers is the fact that nearly 1.5 million Americans dropped off altogether from payrolls, permanently. They are no longer counted among the "unemployed" because benefits ran out and they quit looking for a job. John Adams: "Facts are stubborn things".....

So, what happens when Israel decides to attack Iran? Barack Obama will "strongly condemn", the United Nations will "strongly condemn", all the Arab islamic nations will "strongly condemn"....however, Obama is hoping that all of this happens so he can use this as the excuse to "protect the nation" by simply suspending elections and declaring martial law to "keep us safe" an ensure the "continuity of government" to calm the fears of attack by the Iranians on American soil. World War 3...it's coming.

Bashir was noticeably quiet while his muslim friend in the White House labeling a Boston cop for acting "stupidly". You see, it's all about them. That's what middle eastern muslim men believe. They're right and you're wrong, 100% of the time. Arrogant, malicious and narcissistic to the point it becomes tiresome to listen to them or seeing their face on the television...ditto for the current occupant of the White House.

The government does not provide better hourly wages, better schools and better health care. Private companies do. This woman's thinking is the reason why we have a dependency problem in America today...."I don't want to work for it, I want the government to give it to me because that way I can hand over the responsibility of thinking and doing for myself to the government".....

I thought you were smarter than that and quite frankly, tired of business as usual but I'm guessing you've been offered some sort of position in Newt's administration if only he could get your endorsement. If Newt is the nominee, that's an assured 4 more years of Barack Obama in the White House to finish off what's left of the Republic. Newt Gingrich cannot beat Obama, pure and simple. Newt may be able to wipe the floor with Obama during a debate but Obama's opposition research is going to dig up all kinds of things about Newt and he's got a closet full of skeletons he'd rather not let the American people know about. Talk about optics....the skinny big eared "cool" multi culti half black half white Obama standing next to the old overweight pale skinned Washington DC insider serial adulterer RINO Gingrich.....guess which one the 18 to 35 year old demographic is going to pick? Been nice knowing you America.

As for the "profiting from their service" line, I couldn't agree more. When lawmakers are on the "inside" and know when certain legislation is getting ready to be written and passed that will allow them to profit from it, and they act on it, they should go to jail. No trial, no jury. Straight to jail.

If the tax rate jumps 30%, the wealthy will do what their accountants and lawyers have been doing all along to protect their wealth...they'll move it out of the country and shelter it from federal income tax. There's nothing wrong with that...it's called "I earned it and I should be able to keep as much as of it as I want"....The problem is the imperial federal government wants to punish the top earners with a higher tax rate, take that money and distribute it to someone who's decided to hand over the responsibility of taking care of themselves to the federal government. That's not freedom or liberty. That's called wealth envy. If you don't like being poor, work hard to put yourself in a position to be self sufficient....but that would require hard work and some people would rather let someone else do that.

Russian? Vietnamese? Chinese? Venezuelan? I'm confused. An American ambassador only believes in "universal values"? WTF?

I hope you stomp your feet, hold your breath like a petulant 5 year old and push for it and get it done within the next few months. Push Congress into taxing dividends and income from investment at the same rate we all pay federal withholding and one thing for certain that will happen....companies will begin laying off in the millions, investments will dry up and it will be the final nail in the coffin of this country. If people think that things are bad now, wait until your employer tells you that they can no longer afford to keep you employed...oh, and by the way, you'll still have to "buy" your health insurance from the imperial federal government whether you have the money or not because that's the law......good luck.

It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they understand how the economy works and the ultimate goal is to become self sufficient....that's not a sin. It's a badge of honor. However, the current occupant of the White House will manage to convince a lot of Americans that Romney's wealth and the accumulation of it somehow is "unfair" and he didn't come by it honestly so the imperial federal government must be able to swoop in and take more of that wealth and redistribute it to people who neither worked for it or deserve it.

Why are you staying in DC? Obama isn't staying there so why should you? If any of you and and your colleagues would actually grow a pair you might want to consider boycotting the SOU address and tell the American people why...maybe actually telling us the truth for a change might go a long way toward redemption for your sorry tenure as speaker....and I'm speaking as a conservative.

Fact: If Newt wins the nomination, he will be portrayed as the rich, fat white guy who doesn't understand what it's like to be "hip" or "cool" and the 18 to 35 year old living with their parents and unemployed will buy it hook, line and sinker because "hope" sounds better than Newt who probably resembles some professor or parent that's told them what to do their entire life. Fact: If Newt wins the nomination, it's a guaranteed 4 more years of Barack Hussein Obama.
