Who's executing who? I believe in bottom-up government...not top-down government.

I know it's a huge source of cash. How will organized crime react when the government takes over their business. Will OC groups just be willing to accept the pay cut? Or will something more evil result?

So organized crime will become less prominent if they can't peddle pot dope? Really?

How about Olivia Chow making excellent coin and living in subsidized housing.

I agree with you, not the partisan-rant part, but what you say applies to any government of all political parties. It's not a Conservative-Liberal thing.

I didn't say Putin was a peach. I didn't know Putin murdered people by the thousands. Can you find me a link?

KGB thug...union thug...what's the difference?

It's amazing how many fall into line to believe this man-made global warming crap. It amazes me how common people have lost the ability to think, and will believe anything they here that seems to come from an intelligent person. They just fall for it without researching. Pliny's post is dead on. What will be the next big "scare". The sad thing is that I don't see things getting any better. Public schools across the land are teaching more environmental activism than math, English, and most importantly, critical thinking.

Gun control doesn't work. It only penalizes those who now feel it is against the law to protect themselves. If someone broke into my house with a gun, my family and I wouldn't even have a fighting chance.

Which earlier generalization did you make that I need to respond to? You have written nothing worthwhile. Oh, and thanks for admitting that you doing nothing to help the poor. You satisfy your guilt by voting for parties that pretend to do things for the poor. You should still feel guilty.

Oh well, I see you can't answer a simple question. Your avoidance says a lot. Don't preach ethics to someone else until you practice what you preach.

Then tell me how you go above and beyond the average Conservative to help the poor and downtrodden. I don't know you personally, but I know your hypocritical type.

You don't like Bob Rae?

I didn't know Putin killed millions of his own people. The stuff you learn on ML.

http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/09/24/putin-plans-return-to-russian-presidency/ So Vlad Putin plans to become the next Russian president. I actually don't mind Putin. He exerts power, and he knows what he needs to do. He doesn't bow to anyone, and he isn't worried about being politically correct. He is a strong leader. Putin, like him or hate him, has a powerful persona. Obama has a weak persona.

Actually tmiley, the hermit follows me. The debt is increasing at an all-time high under Obama. that is a fact. Bush had 8 years, Obama has had just over 3. I'm not defending Bush, it's a fact, though, that Obama is increasing the debt to proportions that can't possibly be paid.

What do you do to help the poor and downtrodden? Easy to talk about compassion...harder to actually do something about it. Much easier to criticize others, while pretending to be compassionate.

What a ridiculous generalization. Totally clueless. What's wrong with having morals?

There was absolutely nothing misleading. Please post what was misleading, without relying on your hero to do it for you.

Little man is getting defensive. You have no clue, little man. Get some fresh air little man. The public sector is growing, while contributing nothing to the economy. Please don't tell on me little man, and get me banned again little man. You do need to try to understand, little man.

Little man, you cite a Washington Post article by Obama lover Ed O'Keefe, of the Obama loving Washington Post. :lol: WaldoWorld must be quite the place. :lol:

You are wrong. Many people are rich because of gov't jobs. They have great pensions paid for by the people who don't have gov't jobs. Public employees don't generate true wealth for a country. private sector workers do. They keep the nation going.

I didn't realize how deeply Obama was involved. Thanks for posting facts , shady. Too bad many won't accept truth.

Subsidies, welfare, numerous newly created gov't jobs. A growing number of people are relying more and more on gov't to get by. In 18 months after the collapse of 2008, around 7 million Americans lost their jobs. However, the number of federal bureaucrats earning 100K or more increased from 14% to 19%. These parasites are paid for by members of the private sector. These gov't parasites can retire at 55 and live with a comfortable pension paid for by members of the private sector. So in essence, the guy who works for the gov't checking citizens' thermostats can retire at 55, while his neighbour, the private plumber or electrician has to work until 65 or 70, because he doesn't have this wonderful gov't pension. The plumber has to pad his retirement, while his taxes pay for his lazy neighbour who has a great pension because he worked at a useless job created by the Top_Down gov't.

It's a shame that many don't say what they feel to whomever...but many are scared of not being politically correct. Being politically correct is a weakness.....not an attribute. I guess we will know in 30 years if Steyn is on the mark or out to lunch. he does make you think outside the box. Political correctness is destroying western society.
