When I was a high school student, back in the 70's, the standard 'crap' that was served up in civics class was that diplomatic solutions would fix problems so there wouldn't have to be anymore wars. (What a load of shit!)<br /><br /><br />Today, we have more wars all over the world than we ever did before this sorry ass collection of communists came into existence.<br /><br />(And all they really do for all cash they 'hemmorage' out of this country is trample our constitutional sovereignty.)<br /><br />We need leadership in DC to finally stand up and say "we're canceling our membership, you're not getting anymore American cash, and you have 30 days to pack up your shit and leave US soil, or in 31 days, our military will relocate all UN personnel to the nearest container ship heading for Beijing.<br /><br />Sadly, this will probably NOT occur until America has concluded its 2nd revolution.

They believed that American cars would rule the world; refused to upgrade technologies; and were complicit in the labor negotiations believing they would simply pass this cost onto the consumer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-89388317233482472202014-08-18T11:07:23.476-07:002014-08-18T11:07:23.476-07:00Flying goat roper; for some hundred years before ...Flying goat roper; for some hundred years before LBJ's Great Society giveaways Blacks did pretty damn fine on their own....google the poverty rates in 1950 versus now.

Now watch St Louis then Atlanta, Philly, all the Ohio towns with lots of black people follow Detroit straight back to the jungle because all the white people packed their life into a moving van and left. Is there one single black community in all the USA or world for that matter that has their shit together? In 200 years people will admit that the black folks are inferior and need special help but if you even say such a thing now even in the face of all this evidence you are labeled an evil racist.FLYING GOATROPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894568878553751850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-91916072943299294892014-08-18T07:09:54.755-07:002014-08-18T07:09:54.755-07:00Oh yes, Ken..the "police shortage" gambi...Oh yes, Ken..the "police shortage" gambit....when all else fails scare the hell out the taxpayer so he'll cough up more dough willingly.

Ah, but alas, it fell only on the deafest of ears. As long as everything is moving along don't worry about it. Now we quickly move to third world status, but everyone laughs at that saying your kidding right, we are the richest nation on earth! Remember those words when I say "I told ya so!" <br /> Btw the county I live in was pounced upon by the SEIU some years back and now county employees and that includes the elected officials who voted for this stuff can start collecting a fifty percent retirement after five years and a full one hundred after twenty years. The coffers are now empty and we're financing all this stuff while the police announced they will not send a cop to an assault complaint or burglary and many other violent crimes where no one is killed. But bit your tongue, we are not moving toward third world status WERE RICH GODDAMN IT!!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820329703683247263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-17389694041374275992014-08-18T05:25:14.728-07:002014-08-18T05:25:14.728-07:00Jerry, it's a four decade old pyramid scheme a...Jerry, it's a four decade old pyramid scheme and now the bill has come due.<br /><br />You're right, happening all over America...it's the easiest way for politicians to win favor with the municipal employees which aids their reelections.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-84123186045676037872014-08-18T05:06:13.890-07:002014-08-18T05:06:13.890-07:00Yes, embarrassing that we could be so stupid! and ...Yes, embarrassing that we could be so stupid! and we haven't learned a damned thing.
