  Henry, you and your Republican are the ones who preach doom and gloom.  You and your Republican preach hate, deceit, racism and fear with code words.   :yes:

  But listening to Fox News and the Republicans this country has gone to hell since Obama, but in the real life we already been to hell with your George W. Bush and we are digging :dig: our way out.  You Skippy and your Republicans want to go back to hell.   :yes:  You guys can go to hell if I had my way. :grin2:

wtf are you talking about?

It is March 1,2013, the sun came up, the school bus ran. police went by,power still on, no planes falling from the sky.  I went by the  assisted living place no old people laying in the street.  Looks like this scare by dear leader was a bust.

Why am I a idiot?  obama and his media henchmen have been trying to scare people for t he last two weeks.  This is all a hoax just like global warming, but you believe that one too.  A decrease in the amount of increase we are going to spend is not a cut.  It will not affect me either way.

I got mail today too and had to pull over for an ambulance and fire truck to pass when I went to the store.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I honestly don't think they get that part about the decrease in the increase much less the part that it's only a little over 2% of that.  Just think we get to do this all over again in about 3 weeks.  I can hardly wait.

I doubt the ambulance and fire truck were operated by Federal employees.

In any case, by law, the government must give employees 30 days notice before they can furlough them, even for a single day furlough. So the first furloughs you see will be next month.

Teachers in federally funded programs such as Head Start probably will.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ya know, if cutting a little over 2% from the increase does that and all the other doom and gloom things that were mentioned maybe it should happen anyway.

You know, we could also save a lot of money by turning people like you away when you show up looking for health care.  It isn't like you can really pay for it nor have you ever been a substantially regular contributor to the tax base and you're dumb as rocks so what's the point in keeping people like you alive?  I say we let you pay for your health care out of your pocket and when you're out of money, we pull the plug and let you die.  The world ends up being a better place and we save money!

You better run for the hills, or were ever you people go. 

Go?  Fuck that!  I got a raise and a bonus today; sequestration is very good to me!  I may go out this weekend and buy a couple more AR's and a shit-load of ammo as I am an expert marksman and can put a bullet through your bible at several hundred yards!

So what happened that was good in your world?  Get some new tires or skirts for your double-wide?  Your mom finally got that operation on her crotch?  You were able to buy an extra case of Bud Light for the weekend?
