I am opposed to welfare period. The employment is available for those that would WANT to earn a wage greater than or equal to Welfare. Yet immigrants and teenager eagerly accept that employment. What an opportunity, earn your money and be industrious, or just take my money and do nothing.

The "War for Oil" is not to protect our resources or access to it, but to satisfy Asian demand. WWII proved that when starved for resources Asian nations will strike. Making Iraq the lightening rod for Jihadists is safer than Beijing annexing Alaska in 25 years.

If oil is limited on the world market, then the cost to produce in China would rise. If China's costs go up, affordable items (iphones included) would not be affordable anymore. I would have to give up more of my hard earned money to help the less fortunate pay for Chinese goods.

IT IS A BETTER INVESTMENT TO SECURE THE WORLDS OIL MARKETS THAN PAY PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING.

should we just call you houndog?

go bark at someone else pup.

Hey MockingBird I checked and it is time to change the Liberal Talking Points memo in the bottom of your bird cage. All of the crap you get from DailyKos et. al. must be getting harder to read with all of your droppings in the mix.

you're right in that neal is a hypocrite and poser - agreed.

however, the reason he is, is simple: $

It's more profitable to talk about things on the fringe of the GOP because there are more of them.

the money is in the numbers and, sorry to say for you, the number of people who would listen to the things you've listed are small.

Now, the sane understand and appreciate why those numbers are small but, that's a whole other conversation.

But neal does what he does for ratings in his niche market - period.

Boortz thinks he is not mainstream media puppet. In order to even get into the position him or Glenn Beck or Limbaugh are in they have to agree to never talk about certain subject matters on the air no matter how relevant they are. Hell I am sure that was in their contracts. Like how come Boortz doesn't take Ron Paul seriously? He has been right on every single issue dealing with the economy, but the mainstream media mocks him. The reason why Boortz doesn't give credit where credit is due is because it is off limits to talk about getting rid of the Federal Reserve or any of the other issues that Ron Paul's supporters are passionate about. I know that was sorta off topic, but I had to say something because it is becoming more and more apparent by the day that alternative media is DESTROYING the lamestream media. Take Alex Jones for instance. Glenn Beck is taking credit for things that Alex Jones has been harping on for years before Beck was even on the scene. That should tell you something. The only thing that has changed now is that Glenn Beck has signed his contract and now he has to stick to his script. A great example was when Beck went on Fox and Friends one morning and went off topic a little while they were filming live and he started talking about an investigative report he was doing on FEMA camps. He literally said that he was unable to debunk them and that his investigation would be aired that night. The Fox & Friends people were like "what is a FEMA camp". Beck got into it a little bit, but then left people hanging on for more for when his show aired later on that day. Well a funny thing happened. He went on his show that night and guess what? He COMPLETELY changed his story saying that the FEMA camps were not real and that it was irresponsible for him to talk about such things without supporting evidence. ROFLCOPTER! So what changed? That very morning he claimed the FEMA camps were a reality and that SAME DAY he later claims it was all bs. Yeah someone musta sat him down and told him to reread his contract. BTW the FEMA camps are pretty real. I have been to 3 of them. They exist and so do the FEMA coffins. FEMA says they are supposed to be used in a case when there is a large influx of illegal aliens into our country. Yeah okay I believe that. :(

I seem to remember that the code pink wackos were not only still around, but supported the town hall protestors because they were finally using their 1st ammendment rights. But I sure didn't hear it from the MSM!

And we might solve the problem.

After all, didn't Castro just praise Obama at the UN?

Again, I agree with you entirely on closing the borders and sending the illegals home. But I still disagree that we shouldn't go after the suckers on their own turf. Squashing Afghanistan was necessary, not doing so would have made us look weak since the people that did 9/11 were organized, controlled, and supported from there and we knew it. After all, they could and did hit us from there; they may not have if we secured the borders, but nothing can be 100% secured. Iraq, I'm not sure I disagree with you about though.
BTW, just out of curiosity. You see me as a Neo-con?

Lets add jimmy dopelan to the list of, lame and snarkybutt paid left wingers into this site, that are sooooooooo desperate to influence. Ignore them.
They have no home or place to go.
Must be an ego problem, cause they could surely go onto lib sites, but then they wouldn't think themselves so special. Hahahahaha. You've all been great about ignoring these mornons.
Just what we needed more parasites on the welfare rolls. Lazy, good for nothings.

During the Presidential election, Obama ran on the PROMISE that he would withdraw our troops from Iraq within SIX MONTHS if he won the election. Well, here we are EIGHT MONTHS into his administration and troops are still in Iraq. I guess that makes Obama a LIAR!

Obama also ran on the promise that he would end "Bush's Illegal War for Oil!". TWO MONTHS into his administration and Obama announces he is sending 17,000 more troops to the middle east. I guess that makes Obama a LIAR!

And for EIGHT YEARS, liberals demanded that something be done about "BUSH'S OUT-OF-CONTROL-GOVERNMENT-SPENDING!". Well, in Obama's first eight months in office, he has spent more money than George W. Bush did in all EIGHT YEARS of his presidency. Where's the liberal outrage at Obama for his "OUT-OF-CONTROL-GOVERNMENT-SPENDING?"

Why is Obama continuing to fight Bush's Illegal War for Oil?

Obama lied! People Died!

This is all happening on Obama's watch. For eight years, liberals said everything that happened with this country..."Happened on Bush's watch". Welp, according to the liberals own philosophy, this is all happening..."ON OBAMA'S WATCH"
And where's Cindy Sheehan? I wanna know how ole Cindy feels about Obama's illegal war.
Where's the stinking hippy protesters? Where are those gutless cowards?

...on the war on poverty. Has poverty been eliminated in the US? No. What would that 12 or 13 Trillion have done for the American people had it been placed in the hands of the private sector? I'm guessing unemployment would not be 10%.

Liberal policies help no one. They create a sense of entitlement- which always leads to enslavement. The libs have created 12 to 13 Trillion Dollars worth of dependent slaves in America- all vote Democrat to keep the next meal on their table.

One big exception, the slave master is the same color this go round. That is not meant to be a racist statement, rather, it should make you think. Keeping people on welfare isn't hope or change, and never allowing them to either sink or swim is cruel!

Iraq is not a threat to America, never really was. Neither is Afghanistan really. Those guys never had any kind of military that could reach America. If them harboring terrorists was the case, then America should have first and foremost secured the borders which has not been done. Other countries harboring terrorists (with no capability to reach mainland America with military might)turns the islamic fascism fight into a border issue...pure and simple. Obviously Bush/Obama have no concern of islamic fascists coming in if the border is not secured with all illegal aliens heading home. Ironically Bush/Obama want to reward the possible terrorists that are here illegally with amnesty. If you are scared someone will come in to do harm to the country, then the entry point must be secured. Failing to do so makes the he whole 'war on terror' thing complete nonsense. Sorry. It simply defies logic. Just the unavoidable ugly truth.The Iraqi war seems to have been unnecessary if you are honest with yourself. At the same time increasing the parasite population in this country is equally as unwanted and dangerous. We could avoid both methods of waste by purging the neo-cons from the Republican party and making a return to traditional conservatism. The conservatism Thomas Jefferson and Ron Paul are aligned with....again the ugly unavoidable truth. For all those believing in neo-con mysticism on here please don't waste your time calling me names.It changes nothing.

This is complete and total proof that republicans hate America and Americans. Obama is spending billions of dollars on the health of Americans, while republicans spend as much money as they can on Iraqis. Imagine if the money spent on Iraq went to America, wow, that would be something.

Thanks Neal!

Spare me the extremely tired lines about good intentions or that the programs were under funded.
