That is sick. Unions brought this country down and government workers should have never been allowed to unionize. We need to hunt down union leaders with dogs. Thank you to those patriotic liberal democrats who allowed this to happen.

I have been carrying for the last 40 years and have had a concealed permit for the last 14 years. Haven't done anything irrational yet but I am a redneck so I don't ever darken the door of a faggy Starbucks.

I volunteer for G&F projects, run as clean a vehicle and shop as possible and in general take care of the earth as best I can. That does not mean I will support a false theory designed to tax the average American home around $3600 a year in higher costs so we can spread the wealth around to thir...

They do this one and they will win in 2012. They are already working on cutting the size of government and Obama has his team doing the same this week. When the democrats start putting cuts as a top priority you know they are sweating the new congress. It will be interesting to watch Obama block sec...

Good point and I am sure there are thousands of examples where the government helps business to create products but that does not mean there is not a cost to taxpayers. The California example is somewhat misleading because the state has a huge deficit and is literally bankrupt. It is all about the r...

It is interesting to see people who still believe in the gospel according to Gore. He has become suspiciously absent since the world's scientist have come out en masse to debunk what was the most criminal attempt to fleece the world's taxapayers in history. If you would just google growing glaciers ...

Ringer

Andy-I am not knocking anyone that works for the government but if you think about it the work they do and pay taxes on does nothing to add to the GDP. If the total expense is from taxpayer dollars then it is a net drain on the economy. We need government services but there is definitely a limit on ...

All I know is that state pension funds are three trillion dollars short of funds. Many of them lost half of their value because those people in charge of investing decided to roll the dice on the real estate boom. I really don't think it is the regular police or fire people but the upper levels that...

Ringer

Well, he got a $trillion to do just that but his friends in congress just gave the money to the states and unions to prop them up for another year or two. No bridges, no jobs. Why should a responsible congressman vote to spend even more for the same? The euro is close to collapse and the Chinese are...

They should hunt environmentalists with dogs. They have blocked every reasonable power and water project including dams and nuclear since the Woodstock days. Someday when people are rioting over food and water I hope they are the first to go.

Ringer

You have an abundance of water just north of you. I remember when I lived in Oregon 30 years ago there was a push by California to build an aqueduct from the Columbia down to S. California. People in Oregon were ready to gun up the border over that one but it does make some sense to do. I would thin...

A Richmond, VA judge ruled the mandate unconstitutional. Now it can go to the SC for a final ruling. I said from the start there was no way the gov't could force me to purchase a product from a private industry. Now the republicans better come up with meaningful reform that will actually bring costs...

I own a small business. I take the last dollars if there are any but I also make sure 8 families have good salaries and benefits. I buy supplies for dozens of vendors every week and pay taxes, pay a CPA, pay a landlord $10000 a month and have to comply with various government requirements. Small bus...

Ringer

Greg-you can't make general statements about small business. They are made up of geniuses and idiots just like America, They have historically created over 70% of the jobs. Problem is they are totally based upon credit to get started and keep going. If the government wanted to fix the economy they s...

Cut off funding of the UN and see how weenileaks likes that one. Screw the global economy and the rest of the world. We tried that and it hurt.

Sweden had 5 years for UE and found that miraculously most of the people taking it got a job right as the benefits ran out. They cut it to 4 years and what do you know, the same thing happened. Now thay are cutting it to 3 and you know the same thing will occur. Fact is UE will be taken until it run...

I see the City of Berkley is voting to make the young Private who did the espionage some kind of patriotic hero. You must be so proud.

I apologize for that. I think WON does an outstanding job and was just thinking in a perfect world it could have been a more severe punishment but in the end you are right and the guy won't be tourney fishing again.

Ringer

The issue is not that he actually took money from all the hackers like me. The issue is he is caught and proven to be a liar and cheat and it will make all the donators who really keep the game alive doubt that they have a level playing field. I do agree that WON blew it by not taking it all the way...

I think it is a shame but we are benefitting here in AZ. Our unemployment numbers have dropped 2 months in a row in spite of the damage housing did here. I would think people that actually work and pay taxes in the biggest welfare state in the country would be voting in fiscal conservatives but look...

Does an education forgive you from making outlandish and often false statements on the air? Maddow is a gay rights advocate first and a socialist second. Matthews is totally an apologist for liberal leaders like Rangel. Olberman is basically a joke. Fox has plenty of the same but we all are supposed...

Ringer

I read an article about how the DNC paid bloggers to infiltrate randon sites to spread the spin. I am sure the GOP is doing the same thing. Maybe a few questions about fishing techniques and other related info would help your cause. As for Fox you can say the exact same thing about MSNBC and their r...

Unreal that anyone could actually believe taking money from working people and giving it to non working people or government employees can actually stimulate anything. If those peple were working for minimum wage and spending that money it would be stimulative. You must be a Nancy Pelosi fan to buy ...

Maybe a few riots? Wonder why unemployment rates stay high? Maybe business doesn't feel they should pay to keep people on it forever. People always think they paid into unemployment insurance when in fact I pay 100% of the hit for all of my employees just like every other biz in America. If I have a...

Bush extended unemployment for an additional 13 weeks. These clowns want to make it over 2 years. No way can the country recover spending that amount of money. Might work if you are willing to accept the Chinese flag flying over the capitol.

Ringer

No POTUS in history extended unemployment for this long. If they would do means testing and give the extension to only those with no assets I would back it. How many people do you think are loving the weekly checks and are not even trying to get a job? If they can make over $2000 a month for zero wo...

Typical lefty. Think the taxpayers can support everyone forever? If tax revenues are down by half and the government keeps spending unlimited amounts do you think you will be taken care of in the future? I doubt it will last much longer. I got a call from a friend in Oregon yesterday. I was talking ...

I remember in the 70s when my corporate board had employee benefits and corporate integrity at two of their top goals. The board limited executive pay and their feduciary responsibility was to make sure stockholders and employees were protected. That ended in the 80s when the bean counters really to...

Mark-I make custom furniture. Chinese can ship product here and sell it to retailers and the retailers can resell it for about what my raw materials would cost. China subsidizes manufacturing and the intent is and always was to make America dependent. I talked to a limo driver next door that picks u...

Ringer

Greg-there is a limit to the money supply even for the Fed. They are close to the end and the taxpayers have now realized that they are being made slaves to the public sector employees and unions. Look for more chaos and a bigger tea party next election. Taxpayers are fed up.

So, the state with the highest pension shortfall, the highest unemployment payments per week, free education for illegals, free healthcare for illegals and more free services than any other state is running short of funds? Who the heck would want to be governor? Wait until the next round of business...

I have stopped in the middle of whatever I was doing to help and if the weather was bad then they should have towed you in or given one of you a quick ride to the ramp to get help. Just saying that if you were in no danger I can see the people not wanting to hang it up for an hour. It takes a while ...

I always help out people in need but I don't get why you wouldn't call the marina or a buddy not in the tournament and get a tow. You expect another team to give up their entry fee to tow you in during a tournament? Maybe you could tie up to a tree and wait until it was over and they would send some...

Hint-the IRS is the second largest employer in the federal government. How many people other than bean counters do you think would shed a tear if they closed it down and sold all the buildings? Do a flat tax which is the same percentage of income for everyone. The democrats will never support that b...

Ringer

Eventually the workers will give up and either move out or join the takers and stop paying taxes. As soon as the conservatives cut off unemployment and bailouts you will need all of Pelosi and Browns skills to keep the state together. Good luck.

Ringer

Think about what you are saying for a moment. When unemployment is very low you have very few people looking for a job and employers are seeking those few people to fill spots. That means there will be very low job growth but the economy is good. GW had a 4.2% rate which is techinically almost full ...

We are running all of our illegals out to California so we have room for a few good conservatives here. Move your business over and we will make you feel right at home. I am looking forward to the day the House refuses to give any more bailout money and see how those liberals in leadership figure ou...

I can't believe a state can go into a $20 billion a year deficit from overspending and entitlements, has business fleeing the high tax and regulations, and someone is going to give them another pot of money to spend! You think you can grow business by passing new taxes that have no benefit to them? ...

Maybe jobs for the private sector but not for government workers. They will be swapping to the unemployment line.

Ringer

The dirty tricks and illegal voter registration may help hold California in the blue but the country will go red soon. That means no more bailouts for a corrupt and bankrupt pension plan for California. That means you better vote in people who can cut the fat until it bleeds if you are to survive as...

This is for sure the most critical election in my 61 years. I watched Clinton brag about how opening up China would create so many jobs for Americans. Then I watched as our manufacturing all went to China. I watched Frank and Dodd push the banks to loan mortgages to illegals and the poor who made $6...

How the heck can a state pay for pensions if the total tax take is only 20% of the needed amount and you still have to fund the rest of state government? It is not only California but I am thinking you will be the first state to see riots like France is having. "California's 2012 pension liabil...

Considering that we had a congressman from the south say that he was concerned that Guam could roll over in the ocean if the military built a new base there I seriously doubt some of them can read let alone read the Constitution.

I agree with you but not on O'Donnell. She is a Tea Partier and has read the Constitution unlike the majority of Americans and for sure the majority of liberal pundits. They cut her off after her question. I have noticed a ton of liberal media hacks making fun of her but not one has seriously discus...

From reading the other thread it sounds like the organizers were the weak point. Maybe have a public hanging or at least a flogging of other fishermen will improve the situation.
