I have 10 Fords in my driveway right now. My '01 w/ 165k has fewer squeeks and rattles than my '08 grand cherokee w/ only 11k.
^I'd say that is an accurate assumption.
For my own knowledge I was googling around "socialism in America" today and read some interesting speeches given in the early fifties. The socialist of that time saw a vision of America. Their Socialized vision. Sad thing is their vision is our reality. This movement has been put into motion a long time ago. Small subtle well thought out strategic movements into our current socialistic wanna be state that we are in. If you don't think so you are blind. If you don't want to believe the powers to be are conspiring against the constitution you are dumb. It should be everyone's mission on this site to educate everyone you can just how bad this could be. I listened to a speech from some ex-commy who lives in the UK now and he was laughing at us (Americans) about the direction we are heading. Hell even Putin warns against this Marxist direction we are taking. IT didn't work so well for the Russians and that dope can see that. Are we a socialist country? No. Are we getting there? Yes. The saying of ..."Death by a thousand scratches" is so relevant. This is their tactic. It is working. Somewhere a spark is going to ignite a fire. Be ready!
I just tightened my tin foil hat chin strap. All is good on my end!![]()
I did! I think I posted a picture of my 2007 Mustang. Nicest damn car I ever drove. Also planning on a Ford Focus for the wifey. She loved the one they loaned her when they were doing the certified preowned work on the Mustang. Everything on it is power, leather, moon roof and even has heated seats and mirrors for 18k after incentives and the extra $1,000 they take off for me being a Pepsi employee.
this just sucks...I really don't want the .gov to own GM. we aren't going to get shit out if this whole mess.
fuck, now the GM employees may become .gov employees instead of private employees and get paid with federal funds...what does that mean? MORE TAXES!!!!![]()
Obama isn't a socialist.
He has no organized ideology that you could really give a name. He has "stances."
Look back in time, to the 30s. The socialists then had a long-range vision, a consistent ideology, an intellectual, conceptual justification for what they were doing, and they fought for them with intellectual arguments. They were horribly wrong, but less evil than Obama, who has no vision, no ideology, no clue - just a lust for power.
Coincidentally, this is why conservatism was a non-ideology that was stillborn. It has never really had a consistent vision for America based on a principled stance on the role of government in an individual's life. Their stance has been "like it was before!" but that defaults on the very important intellectual justifications of what was better before and why it was better before. What arguments conservative "intellectuals" have typically given are laughably shallow, as well. If you take note of history, as well, the "conservative" movement has been gradually moving further and further into the "more government power" camp as well.
Obama is what is left of the socialist movements from the turn of the last century - a non-ideological power-grubber, far more like a fascist than a socialist. That conservatism cannot defeat that is testimony to just how powerless the movement is.
Tomato ,tomato. Looks like he has you fooled. Maybe not a stereo typical socialist but that is the idea. If he or they(socialist) came out swinging and proclaiming "we are now changing or government structure to a more socialist one" then they would get served. But if they beat around the bush and do there calculated moves as they are doing now then they are gaining momentum toward the socialist goal. Expand health care,unemployment compensation,taxation,government meddling into private business,market manipulation through "bail-outs", more government programs,etc........Does this not seem Socialized at least a bit to you???? Far from just a non-ideological power-grubber my friend. He has fooled the masses here in America. Or maybe we are just so screwed the masses knew and didn't care.
