Ok, I'll put this very naively. Dan Send a noteboard - 02/09/2012 12:36:33 AM
The entire point of his statement was to diminish the contribution of entrepreneurs. Obama said, "You think you succeeded because you worked hard. Lots of people work hard. You think you succeeded because you are smart. Lots of people are smart." Of course, lots of people are NOT smart. The sad reality is that the majority of people are stupid, ignorant sheep that can be pushed to vote Democrat (if they're urban poor looking for a handout) or Republican (if they're rural poor afraid the government will regulate them).

But I digress. As I have said, the reason why entrepreneurs succeed is not because some fucking corrupt government officials build a bridge with sand-filled Mafia cement that lets people get to their business. It's because they combine a good idea with tons of hard work and are willing to bear the incredible RISK of being a small business owner.

As a small business owner, I believe that we deserve to enjoy the fruits of that labor, risk and intelligence. I don't want to hear that some fucking underperforming teacher is unhappy because the union benefits are being cut - I don't get those benefits or anything approaching it. Those public sector douchebags already get more benefits and security than I'll ever have. The reason why it makes sense for people to go out and start their own business, the reason that "government official" is not the most coveted position in this nation (as opposed to France, where it is), is because there is a reward for the risk.


So what if the argument is that Obama and his ilk want to extend the benefits and the security that said public sector douchebags get to everyone? Would it be possible, financially? Would the help businesses, or embolden entrepreneurs? There have been some recent studies that IQ and general intellect jumps when you don't have to worry about the lower ends of the good old hierarchy of needs.

So FUCK OBAMA, and fuck anyone else who can't understand that.

It is amazing how well every sentence but your last covers the "We [not I] built this" view Joel - 01/09/2012 03:29:27 PM 564 Views
let’s put it back in context random thoughts - 01/09/2012 05:23:01 PM 658 Views
Politifact already did. Joel - 01/09/2012 05:53:23 PM 748 Views
+1 - nicely said. The "built it" comment drives the left crazy, since they know..... Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 04:25:52 PM 463 Views
Nope, it drives us crazy because it's an out-of-context fragment quote beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 07:01:24 PM 457 Views
they all know what he said and context doesn't change it *NM* random thoughts - 01/09/2012 07:11:01 PM 269 Views
...of course it does. beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 08:31:37 PM 502 Views
This is the kind of shit that makes me and my family not want to vote Republican. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:01:01 AM 547 Views
Interesting response.... Joel - 02/09/2012 12:07:01 AM 452 Views
They're both acting normal (for politicians) Dan - 02/09/2012 12:12:31 AM 587 Views
I disagree; they both did something downright bizarre (again, for politicians; see link.) Joel - 02/09/2012 12:20:32 AM 529 Views
Heh. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:25:10 AM 571 Views

Only if you want a Senate majority. Joel - 02/09/2012 07:39:23 PM 691 Views
Exactly, the context doesn't help. Libs believe government knows all and makes all possible. Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 08:25:51 PM 428 Views
Sigh... what words a quote contains is not a matter of "POV." Joel - 01/09/2012 09:01:17 PM 670 Views
Seriously. Like, I'm not debating policy here- I am saying that those are the literal words. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 11:53:39 PM 261 Views
I do not understand how that can be debated, yet it keeps happening. Joel - 02/09/2012 12:03:44 AM 487 Views
What should disturb you is what a bunch of unhinged hypocrites your party has become random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:38:34 PM 542 Views
I have no party, and have already said mischaracterizing "corporations are people" is just as bad. Joel - 02/09/2012 04:15:01 PM 600 Views
Would you give a me link to where you created post upset about how Romney was being treated? random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:10:03 PM 436 Views
Sure; the last time was about three days ago in response to you. Joel - 02/09/2012 09:20:55 PM 555 Views
are you on crack? that is a post of you defending the stupid Bain attacks on Romney random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:30:00 PM 471 Views
You brought up Bain there; I merely responded and noted Romneys "corp." line was also misused. Joel - 02/09/2012 10:12:52 PM 704 Views
Joel. That's the thinking of a 12-year-old. You're better than that. *NM* Palatine - 01/09/2012 05:17:25 PM 254 Views
Saying "you didn't build that" denigrates individuals is twelve-year-old thinking:I merely note that Joel - 01/09/2012 05:45:06 PM 430 Views
I know what Obama meant to say. If he said it to me I would want to punch him in his liberal mouth. Tom - 02/09/2012 12:23:47 AM 570 Views
Ok, I'll put this very naively. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:36:33 AM 829 Views
Obama had his chance. Tom - 02/09/2012 12:43:25 AM 565 Views
True, I think. I just wish the RNC had taken a more concrete approach like you did. Could fuck them. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 12:52:58 AM 333 Views
"The Democratic health care bill that bears Obama's name for no good reason" Joel - 02/09/2012 03:44:18 AM 545 Views
and you really want us to believe it is a few comments that are keeping you from voting republican? *NM* random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:40:13 PM 252 Views
Your suggestion that what I floated to Tom is somehow antithetical to the GOP is laughable. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 05:29:33 PM 329 Views
In fairness to rt, that sounds a lot like a welfare state, which is pretty antithetical to the GOP. Joel - 02/09/2012 07:10:47 PM 534 Views
Most are willing to enter the debate, and give a measure of ground. Hence Romneycare. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 10:40:21 PM 697 Views
Fair enough, but once the show goes national we get Romneys pledge to repeal Romneycare. Joel - 02/09/2012 11:10:55 PM 541 Views
"If you don't want to root for your team, then you should get the hell out of the stadium." Joel - 02/09/2012 02:15:11 AM 524 Views
Eh, what he said sounded to me like the usual politicians thing snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:58:05 PM 441 Views
Your political philosophy seems based on ignoring the difference between voluntary & compulsory Cannoli - 02/09/2012 12:38:50 AM 600 Views
Huh, I think I hit submit by accident, before replying. Anyway: Dan - 02/09/2012 12:42:38 AM 678 Views
Yours seems based on ignoring the "WE THE PEOPLE" at the top of the document creating US government. Joel - 02/09/2012 02:48:45 AM 598 Views
I think there is something to be said for charitable interpretation. Burr - 02/09/2012 02:10:10 AM 498 Views
I am not sure what the best argument against the best reading of his argument would be. Joel - 02/09/2012 03:13:46 AM 521 Views
I don't think so snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:47:03 PM 475 Views
