The c-span video that this blog links to below is yet another display of Democrat cynicism, but that is what we have come to expect. The congress just passed an appropriations bill, which they have not done for five or six years. They spend lots of time congratulating themselves, citing one another as champions who have done wonderful things, and also whining about the sequestration program that was effected a few years ago to put spending caps in place to bring some economic reality into the budgeting process.
The appropriations bill outlines how money will be spend for various programs. Democrat Dick Durbin sounds like Santa Claus as he reads off how much money they will parcel out to various programs and agencies, and it sounds wonderful. Unlike a responsible family or company, however, they do not talk about income and how much the government will actually take in. The bottom line is that government debt has more than doubled during Barack Obama’s time in office. We are now over $19 trillion in debt, and that does not include state liabilities. We will spend about $500 billion more than the government receives in this year alone. In seven years, the amount owed by every man, woman and child in this country went from $29,000 to $59,000, with no rational way to pay it back. It is simply a game that politicians play, and it could lead to the complete financial ruin of the United States in the next few years as countries and institutions who loan the U.S. the money to pay for these grandiose programs and giveaways realize they will never be paid back. They will then begin to call the debt that we will not be able to pay.
The Democrats are also very sneaky, and buried in these huge, ridiculous bills are other Democrat agenda items. Republicans are afraid to oppose them because the appropriations bill will then be held up and the GOP will be blamed for failing to fund all of these wonderful programs and for shutting down the government. The latest maneuver is truly over the top.
See the trick Democrats played by burying a new policy in the appropriations bill that will affect the women of the nation, page 2:
Well my point is how is it fair to make men do it but not women up to this point, but yet we are all equal right? Now everybody’s bitching about women having to sign up for a draft. How do you think the men who got drafted felt? Excited?
I’m a woman but damn, men are dying every day, and your granddaughters are superior to those men right? I don’t think so. People lose their loved ones every day and just because SOME women don’t wanna sign up to defend the land they live on, you expect us to exempt women because somehow they are more valuable than men? Hell no they are not. Equal rights but you don’t want everything that comes along with it? You must be a damn democrat
I know personally what it takes to be a SEAL, I’m a veteran of the navy myself and to hear that women can’t do what most men can’t is so incredibly stupid. If you push yourself you are able to do anything!! I was a firefighter, I’m a small girl but I held my own so take that comment and shove it.
Women who have no backbone are throwing hissy fits cause now they have to do what men do. Oh Lord man you wanted equality deal with it!!
Obama loves this country? Since when?
Yes thank veterans since your family wouldn’t fight for the land you live on…let me guess you voted for Obama correct
Nikkie Mize Think you need to read my comment again. I never said women couldn’t do it. I just said there are things women have to work harder at to achieve than men do.
Randy Snavely, I didn’t say it should be a choice, I said RJ did. I was making a point to Nancy, who clearly doesn’t understand the meaning of some words. I am in complete agreement with u that women are not as capable as men in CERTAIN situations. Most women, if they see one of their brothers on the ground blown half apart, knowing they will die, will still risk their life to try and save him. That to me isn’t good on the battle field. Most women will respond too emtionally.
And Nikkie Mize, NO woman is as physically strong as men. I commend u and thank u very much for ur service. But think back to ur days in boot camp or in service and tell me how many women stuck it out or fought thru it the way u did. How many? I can GUARANTEE that number is VERY LOW! My husband is a Marine vet and he had women in his squad, but very very few made it thru WITHOUT complaining it was too hard. And I know that Marine boot camp and service is much tougher than any other branch. I have friends in ALL branches and they tell me that all the time. Navy Seals are trained by Marines. The Marines are thee toughest branch in the military.
Yes, MOST women can not do what men do in the military. Notice key word here is MOST. Not all, but MOST. There is an exception to every rule. And u are one of them.
My husband had this one tiny lil female in his squad, tough lil b****r. But I can guarantee u, she was that way BEFORE the Marine Corp. It takes a certain kind of person, doesn’t matter if it’s male or female, to be in the military, let alone the Marine Corp. U need to understand that not all women can or are willing to do what u did.
Nikkie Mize HELL NO!!!
