Now, now, now...We're not picking on the poor boy...MUCH!

[Diane Amberg]

Billy is doing just fine on his own. I'm not picking on him. I just have different views...part of the time. We also agree on some things too.

Billy is one of the best things that have happened to this section of the forum ..

Some of you can think what you want...but this man knows his stuff.
If we ever have to team up.. I'm definitely on his. 
And by the amount of posting that is going on in this board.. there seem to be more people interested in Politics than they used to admit. 

I am home for about a few days then off again.. but I will take the time to try to catch up..
For now I'm just reading and grinning . Hopefully sometime this next week I'll have time to "try" to squeeze in amongst you all while (if) you take a breath and try to post.. LOL

I think it is great that everyone is getting involved.. Hopefully .. "the light" will come on for many people.....
But one thing is for sure..
Billy.. you HAVE got them out of their corners........

You are so right, Teresa.  He reminds me of one of my brothers-in-law.  He can argue about anything and does and sometimes switches sides.

I disagree, the states should take care of themselves.  Why should my tax dollars go to bailout california just because they mismanged their money?

yeah, you got a point there.  Why should your tax dollars go to bailout California or any other state for that matter?  We could just let the states take care of themselves like you say.  Tell that to the people of Louisana, Mississippi and Alabama after Katrina came through.  The Feds were slow and lacking in help, but they did help.  WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS!  But, yeah, I don't want my tax dollars to go to another state as they are sorely needed here.  Why should I pay to put Greenville, KS, back in the atlas?  I think that some of you need to go back and read the definition of Socialism.  There is a fine line between "redistribution of wealth" and helping your neighbors.  I know that when the "big one" hits California, I am going to need your tax dollars to feed my family and give them shelter.  Thanks.

Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet.    Larryj

Tell that to the people of Louisana, Mississippi and Alabama after Katrina came through. -larryJ.


Oh, yes, of course, those poor people...well except the ones looting big screen tvs, stereos, etc.  And lets not forget those who shot at rescue workers.  Also, a question that has never quite been answered...those folks had plenty of advanced warning, why didn't they take steps to prepare for this???  I mean, if you live in a coastal city that happens to be under sea level and someone tells you that a hurricane is coming, are you just going to sit on your butt?  Also, if you know that "the big one" is going to hit california why aren't you preparing now?

[Catwoman]

No matter how much you prepare, you will in all eventuality find that it wasn't nearly enough.  That is when our tax dollars step in to assist those in need...In addition to dollars that were donated through United Way...The Red Cross...The Salvation Army...etc.  All of this posturing and expounding on what "we" would have others do...All YOU can do is make sure to take care of yourself and your own...And do your best to contribute to the general well-being of the public at large...And not suck out of the public trough...Leave those dollars for those who need that helping hand to get up out of the hole that they find themselves in at the time.  This is all part of our society having evolved out of the pain of our previous generations...And thank the good Lord, we have found ways to assist our youth and others with their needs.  We are living the good old days NOW.

When have I switched sides?

[Teresa]

Maybe all you have done is start hearing the truth on 'both' sides..and you are seeing the light as Catwoman said..
