Paul Ryan Speaks in West Chester

Liberty 1 August 25, 2012 at 12:34 pm

Oh boy! Mr.Blue took a breath!!! I heard you foot stamping all the way to my estate. Get control of your emotions will ya? Why couldn't I "possibly understand" abortion? I am not a Jew but I can understand the Holocost. I am not black but I can understand the racist democrat policies that have always kept me down. You bring up a very extreme example (no shock there - you ARE a lib) of a child raped or incest, well what are the percentages of that? There are many more abortions due to not wanting to face the responsibilty of their own actions as pleasurable as it may have been.
I call abortion supporters nazis (and will continue to do so) because they, like the Germans of the 30's & 40's, have no problem doing away with innocent lives by declaring them not human. Mr.Blue, don't worry, I don't see you as a nazi. Most Germans were not Nazis, you are more like the guy in the street extending his arm crying "sieg heil" as der fuher drove by, with tears of joy running down your cheek. Yea, maybe I am a total jerk. So what?

Liberty 1 August 25, 2012 at 12:39 pm

Be honest will you? What you are saying is that you prefer to be lied to, that's good. Which republican would you have wanted to see? No matter who headed the ticket your post would read the same because you want to try and give the illusion of being "independent". You fool no one with your dishonesty, kind of like Obama.

Liberty 1 August 25, 2012 at 12:45 pm

A Congress in stalemate is much better then one working against a free people. Who cares how we look to other nations? We are NOT like other nations, we are BETTER then other nations, so why are we trying to become like those failures in Europe? Our ancesters left there for a reason.
And a decision to do nothing is still a decision.

Ego_Death August 27, 2012 at 02:41 pm

Heres the thing with pro-life vs pro-choice. Most of the pro lifers view it as a difference between a medical procedure and a baby where as most of the pro-choicers view it as a difference between a medical procedure and a coat hanger.

Mary B August 28, 2012 at 03:43 am

Here's to you Linda S.... You hit the nail on the head! If it wasn't for the obstructionist club on the Hill, President Obama would have accomplished more than he was able. What this country needs is citizen/voter engagement, zero tolerance for self serving compensated representation, the same gusto, perserverance, and committment to maintaining our liberties as the men and women who gave their lives to uphold what this democracy was created to be. All must come from the citizen who holds precious his/her right to participate. All of this polarizing dialoge in this forum won't get that job done, won't protect the middle class, and sure as hell won't protect the environment which sustains all of us.

Rosemary B August 28, 2012 at 12:32 pm

What this country needs is TERM LIMITS for Congress!

Liberty 1 August 28, 2012 at 05:24 pm

His first two years he had an overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress. He still has his democrat led do nothing Senate. To blame it on the House is why you guys are laughed at so much!

MikeP August 30, 2012 at 07:25 pm

Agree, Rosemary. Add publically funded campaigns and fair and enforced trade agreements to the list.
Liberty 1, why all the endless lies? Overwhelming majority? The House had a number of Democrats from conservative districts who cared more about their careers than the interest of the country. Republicans obstrcuted and slowed down all that they could. Their tactic was soooo predictable. Plenty of Democrats were predicting they'd later claim Obama could have done anything he wanted to. From 2008 - 2010, all we heard was Republicans screaming Obama is going to fast and would make a mistake as a result. Now, they claim he didn't do anything when he had a chance. People have to be really stupid to fall for that.

Liberty 1 August 30, 2012 at 11:09 pm

Well, he did win 2008. Oh, you were not speaking of Obama voters?
Name one conservative left in the democrat party. A real conservative not just someone right of Pelosi or Obama. There are none. They were purged long ago. It is fun watching the undefendable being explained away by the unintellegent.

Brunell August 31, 2012 at 01:09 am

I am truly scared. I don't understand how so many educated people would continue to support someone who hands out money, like it is free. We are not even getting a return on the money. Tax the rich? Take it all, it's still not enough! Wake up! It is unsustainable. Please think this through. It is not about abortion, race, wall street or even the rich, we must stop spending and make people responsible for themselves. The government makes nothing! We must let individuals reap the spoils of their labor. Invent things without regulations and taxes. Make our country what it used to be. Our current path is unsustainable! How will we ever be able to repay our debt? EVERY country that has tried our current administrations form of government has or is failing!

Brunell August 31, 2012 at 01:11 am

My last comment has one mistake. The government does make one thing, voters to support their jobs.......

Ego_Death August 31, 2012 at 03:07 am

The real fact is that about 75% of welfare money goes to children and the elderly. These are people that cannot help themselves. Fact is the gov't has always had these programs but tax rates are lower now than they ever have been. The deficit is due to 2 wars not paid for and a stimulus to prevent a depression. Its not due to entitlement programs. Both parties lie, both parties will continue to spend money regardless of who is elected. Congress is the entity that sets the budget not the president. With that being said social issues are important. I would never vote for a party that treats women, minorities, gays, muslims, immigrants, drug users etc as second class citizens. So yes it is about a womens right to choose, about gay marriage and other social issues because fiscally both parties will do the same thing. Oh my household makes less than $250,000 a year so based on every article I have read, Romney / Ryans plan will increase my taxes while lowering those who make more than me... Why would I ever vote for him?

Brunell August 31, 2012 at 03:31 am

Who is treating Muslims as second class citizens? If you use and/or abuse drugs that's a problem but second class citizens? Minorities as second class? Women as second class? And the best immigrants, didn't you forget the word illegal? Where do you get this stuff? Who pays for those illegal immigrants? How do we keep track of the taxes they don't pay? I am kept track of! Why is it wrong to prove you are who you say you are to vote? Give it all away until there is nothing left, that is your plan! Give the money, citizenship, freedoms... Why are there so many people in the country that don't pay any taxes at all? Surely each citizen should pay something, no? Why do people file returns and get back more than they payed in? You say that the majority goes to children. Are you speaking of those single mothers with 4 and 5 kids, who keep having kinds and increasing the money given to them by the government with each birth? Yea that's really helping! We need to have people be responsible for themselves. Bottom line, we can not efford the current administration any longer. It is that simple. We cant keep floating bonds from China! Just think of the resources they will own.........oil, coal, fresh water, land, farms, they are not dumb....and soon it will be a fire sale!

Brunell August 31, 2012 at 03:52 am

Ego_Death,stimulus to prevent a depression? What happened to the billions of stimulus spent on the solar companies? What jobs were created there? How will the American people be paid back for that? Just to push a policy? Please....who's pocket did that line. What political cronie did that pay off? How about GM? When the original GM was "closed" the administration decided who would be paid not the laws of the land. Time to repay my voters.....But the banks that were first tier creditors were left high and dry. Of course the government had to dump the money back in, who would lend them money if they had no collateral? The collateral and legal agreements mean nothing now! 200+ years of laws and a system of government fundamentally changed in 4 short years.....what a shame!

ADOPTION. Talk to Pam Stenzel whose mother was raped and who could have been easily aborted but instead is so thankful to her birth mother and her adopted family. She has devoted her life to talk to teens about abstinence. We are NOT out of control animals. Do you really think that this is a blob in your stomach with a beating heart and you have a right to stop the heartbeat? How many people adopt oversees every day because they would have to wait YEARS to adopt a child here. Abortion destroys most woman over time. They cannot deal with the permanent decision that they made. They see children that would have been their childs age and it kills them. They self medicate with food, alcohol or drugs. They are depressed and angry that nobody told them that they would have after affects FOREVER. Permanent decisions often have permanent pain. How come I do not have the right to choose to drink and drive...is that taking away my rights? NO, it is for the safety of others. I 100% agree that mothers who do not want their children should NEVER be mothers..but guess what ...we need to teach responsibility. Do not have sex with anyone you are not willing to be a parent with. If you do, then be willing to carry the child and give them up for adoption. You can be proud of yourself that you did not commit MURDER. Where did you get the impression that the BIble supported that the world was flat? Go to answersingenesis.org or gotquestions.org.Pray for wisdom before you decide you eternal fate.

Lower Saucon Guy August 31, 2012 at 11:41 am

It certainly wasn't changed in four short years. Why don't people want to own up to the fact that George W bankrupted multiple private companies before he was elected and an entire country during the eight years he was in charge. Obama stepped into a situation, I don't know why anyone in his right mind, would have wanted. Now, it's all his fault. You talk like Romney/Ryan are going to save the country. Isn't going to happen. They'll never make it to office despite the lies and Koch brothers commercials. I've ,personally, always despised politics and wouldn't trust a word they said. To listen to them rattle off what they're going to do for the country makes me sick. It never happens and won't happen with Mitt either. At least, when he looses, he won't be able to blame voter fraud. Now have a nice day, I'm going to make a peach pie and enjoy what time I have left on this earth.

Earnest August 31, 2012 at 11:44 am

Due to the fact that the President is a tax payer, you are absolutely correct! The President plus all the rest of the American tax payers have built our roads, which is the President's (exact) point!
Mock the President if you will Matt, but only the dimmest bulbs on the string of lights would not get the President's point and/or believe the Republican propaganda and false representation of his comments.

Ego_Death August 31, 2012 at 01:31 pm

It wasn't Billions it was millions and investment in alternative energy is 100% necessary. More RnD is needed in all aspects of solar and wind energy. The sun provides life, is a constant energy source for the next 5 billion years or so. I do not feel sorry for any banks that got screwed as they have been screwing us for years and are the main cause of the financial collapse. Again all politicians from both sides of the political spectrum will do this. Look at all the laws (wiretap) that Bush broke. Just because your guy isn't in the white house. You really think things would be different if McCain and Palin were in there or that Mitt and Ryan are going to preform some sort of miracle and turn the economy around by going back to the policies that caused the collapse to begin with?

Anonymous- I believe in the right of the mother to choose for herself what to do. It should not be dictated by others or peoples religious beliefs. It is her body, her uterus, her decision, no one elses. You would force a women to have her rapists baby? Then everytime she looks at that baby she is reminded of that rape? It is her right to choose, no one elses. All making abortion illegal will do is increase the black market ones, or some women will do it themselves. Just like the war on drugs. It drives these things to the black market which makes it even more dangerous.

Earnest September 1, 2012 at 02:34 pm

Brunell provides us with the results of the massive war that was declared on our President is one that stirs, fear and hate via psychological manipulation (propaganda) messaging of a man of color who "hands out money, like it is free."
The dog whistle campaign of insinuating that the President of the United States, (the first President who happens to be a man of color) steals and lies. He's not an American, he doesn't understand America, he's the food stamp president, how could he possibly have earned scholarships and attended elite educational institutions...we need to see his transcripts! Republican politicians embracing public disrespect of the Office of the President, by screaming out "you lie" during the Presidential State of the Union Address, and then rewarding ones self by taking money for that disrespectful behavior. Of course, for the first time in history we also have the Commander in Chief, who is publicly mocked by Republican politicians and their surrogates, after ordering the killing of bin Laden. Then come the repeated flat out lies at the Republican convention. To add to that Republican's at the State level have created voter ID laws based on promoting suspicion of minorities and young voters committing in person voter fraud.

Earnest September 1, 2012 at 02:58 pm

No one believes that the government "makes" things. However, the Government of the United States has always invested in America and the American people to assist in providing pathways for opportunity in building our country, businesses, and achieving the "American Dream." Infrastructure, clean up after mother natures devastation, the GI Bill, clean drinking water, transportation, energy, national protection.
Why is it that we never hear those Republican's who tout their family history of working hard and receiving government help to make their level of living conditions possible, saying thank you rather than dismissing and condemning. Why don't Republican's publicly recognize that they receive a public funded government pay check, gold plated health insurance, and a lucrative pension. Why don't Republican's mention all the connections to business opportunities, education institutions for their own children, and of course the jobs/ career opportunities that their children are afforded and score, because of their names. I would include the Democratic politicians in these comments. However, it is the Republican's who (pretend) that they are not government and they and their families do not reap great financial rewards, positions, and careers, curtesy of being a member of government.

Brunell September 1, 2012 at 07:35 pm

That is the problem. It used to be when you worked for the government it was a public service job with a lower salary and slightly better benefits. Now, it is in major run away with both pay scale and benefits. Who pays my pension? ME! Who pays my health care, my company pays about 12k a year for me and I pay 900 per month for my family. When my non-matching 401k goes down, who funds the loss? ME! Not the taxpayers. The Government takes 2 billion dollars of funding a day to run. When will this stop? The government should provide infrastructure. However, the minority participation laws, prevailing wage, and other restrictions are driving the cost of building this infastructure out of this world! Who pays....the TAXPAYER! For every government program(restrictions), there is an army of government workers to insure that the small businessman/contractor is following the rules. So it's a double cost, the cost to implement the regulation and the cost for the regulation itself. It's got to stop.

Liberty 1 September 2, 2012 at 01:49 am

You are right Brunell! It has gone from public service to the servant public.

Bill L September 2, 2012 at 02:57 am

Lower Saucon Guy, did you ever take the time to really trace the financial crisis back to its roots? Ever hear of Acorn? National People's Action? Community Reinvestment Act? I love how you guys blame the banks for "causing the mess" but skip right past the fact that Obama, Holder, and Clinton set in motion the entire housing crisis after Carter established the Act in'77. Look it up. Obama bullied the banks into lending to credit-weak inner city minorities. And now the banks are to blame?

Bill L September 2, 2012 at 02:58 am

"The Obama camp’s running a new ad reminding African-Americans of all he’s done for them as they weather an economic crisis he “inherited.” Left out is his own role in their predicament. The press has never questioned the president about his involvement. But his fingerprints are there.Before the crisis, Obama pushed thousands of credit-poor blacks into homes they couldn’t afford. As a civil-rights attorney, he sued banks to rubberstamp mortgages for urban residents.Many are now in foreclosure. In fact, the lead client in one of his class-action suits has since lost her home and filed bankruptcy."

Bill L September 2, 2012 at 03:00 am

First some background: Obama focused on “housing rights” when he worked as a lawyer-activist and community organizer in South Side Chicago. His mentor – the man who placed him in his first job there – was the father of the anti-redlining movement: John McKnight. He coined the term “redlining” to describe the mapping off of minority neighborhoods from home loans.
McKnight wrote a letter for Obama that helped him get into Harvard. After he graduated, he worked for a Chicago civil-rights law firm that worked closely with McKnight’s radical Gamaliel Foundation and National People’s Action, as well as Acorn, to solicit lending-discrimination cases. At the time, NPA and Acorn were lobbying the Clinton administration to tighten enforcement of anti-redlining laws. They also dispatched bus loads of goons trained by Obama to the doorsteps of bankers to demand more home loans for minorities. Acorn even crashed the lobby of Citibank’s headquarters in New York and accused it of discriminating against blacks. The pressure worked. In 1994, Clinton’s top bank regulators signed a landmark anti-redlining policy that declared traditional mortgage underwriting standards racist and mandated banks apply easier lending rules for minorities.

Bill L September 2, 2012 at 03:04 am

In the run-up to the crisis, Citibank underwrote thousands of shaky subprime mortgages to satisfy the court in Obama’s case. Defaults were common. When home prices collapsed, most of the loans went bust.
His lead African-American client, Selma Buycks-Roberson, who was denied a loan due to bad credit and low income, got her mortgage only to default on it years later. She got a foreclosure notice in 2008, according to The Daily Caller website, along with many of her Chicago neighbors. By putting them on the hook for loans they couldn’t pay, Obama did them no favors. Blacks have been hit hardest by foreclosures. But what does Obama care? The Caller reports he pocketed at least $23,000 from the Citibank case. Today, he blames the devastating wealth drain in black communities on subprime mortgages. He says “greedy,” “predatory” lenders tricked poor minorities into paying higher fees and interest rates. But Obama was for subprime loans before he was against them. “Subprime loans started off as a good idea,” he said as those loans began to sour in 2007.

Finally, some facts and common sense!
