Ryan vs. Obama….KO to Ryan in the first.
Obama wants to bring this to the American people so he wouldn’t be afraid to debate someone like Ryan right?

Three Reconstructive surgeons were one-upping each other in the bar at some conference at a tropical location.
SURGEON 1: “I had a case where a young piano prodigy lost a hand in a car accident. I reattached it, and he went on to win the Van Cliburn prize last year.”
SURGEON 2: “One of my patients was a man who lost his sight in Iraq. I replaced his eyes with cadaver eyes in a very lengthy operation, and he sees 20/20 now.”
SURGEON 3: “There was a woman riding a horse, not paying attention, and she was hit by a locomotive. All I had to work with was a wig, some teeth, and the two hindquarters of the horse. And, now SHE’s the Speaker of the House!”
You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, “Hey, the world’s coming to an end!” and the first one says, “Well, I best go to the mission and pray,” and the second one says, “Well, hell, I’m gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores,” and the third one says “Well, I’m gonna finish the game.” I shall finish the game, Doc.
@Ivan:
Hey Ivan…
You’ve left crumbs on the carpet here and here.

Good news! Democrats are going to dismantle the ATF and the DOJ.

@Aye:
Hey yapping dog, when will you apologize for your slander? Oh yeah, I forgot, you have no honor.
Never mind, I retract the question.
@Ivan:
You still haven’t provided any source material to support your falsehoods…yet you want me to apologize? That’s some funny stuff right there.
Funny, funny stuff.
I’ll make a deal with you though…I’ll apologize to you…as soon as you cite the sources to prove your claims and are therefore able to prove me incorrect about my conclusions.
PS… Getting ready to head out of town. Be back late Sunday so you’ve got plenty of time to come up with the answers to the questions. I wouldn’t want your delusions of grandeur to lead you to falsely conclude that I abandoned our little discussion.
Obama debate? Without a script or teleprompter? It will NEVER happen!
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a guy while attending a birthday party for my niece. The topic was about his purchasing a new truck for his business, however, the part that got me was his claim of being able to use the price of the truck as a deduction on his 2011 taxes.
Now, I don’t know for sure how this guy leaned politically, but from pieces/parts of our conversation, and his admission of being an ex teacher, I gather that he leaned a little left, although that doesn’t really matter concerning the point of this post.
What does matter is that this guy seemed to be very excited about the prospect of using that vehicle purchase as a way to reduce his taxes, along with an admission by him that as a teacher, he taught his students on the IRS and tax-code, and was able to identify the loopholes(he used that word) that would benefit him concerning taxes.
I don’t begrudge anyone, under our current tax code, of finding all available means to lower their taxes(honestly, of course). I do, however, begrudge those who do so and at the same time call for reductions in “loopholes”, or outright elimination of them, for higher income earners and corporations, particularly if they would defend the continued availability to themselves of such tax reducing measures.
After the conversation I thought about our current tax system and this popped into my head.
-How simple would our tax system be if all deductions, for everyone, and all credits, for everyone, were eliminated completely. At the same time, reduce the tax rates, across the board, for individuals and corporations to the average effective tax rates for individuals and businesses within the various tax brackets. Allow no deductions, or credits, ever, to be legislated into the system. All they are is a means of giving preferential treatment to certain groups based on various categories.
Along with that, require everyone who has earned $1000 or more in earnings, have to pay at least $1 in taxes.
Unless, of course, support for the Fairtax blooms, and is instituted. Otherwise, if a keeping of the “progressive” tax system is the future, everyone needs “skin in the game”, so to speak.
Alphonso Bedoya, hi,
very funny thank’s
A good man was laid to rest today. Sgt. Brent D. Long, of the Terre Haute Police Dept. was buried. Last Monday, he was serving a Federal warrant on a suspect, along with the US Marshal service, when the suspect opened fire on both him and his canine partner. Both were hit, and while his friend and partner, Shadow, survived, Officer Long, unfortunately, did not. I happened to follow the funeral services on the local TV station, and it was very moving, very sad, but also inspiring.

Unfortunately, the wackos at Westboro Baptist Church decided to protest the funeral. I do not understand, nor will I probably ever understand, their reasoning behind their protests at the funerals of those who died in service, whether to the country, or simply to their community.

The good news is that thousands of local area residents showed up at the cemetery to provide a ‘silent’ counter protest to the WBC.
On July 15th Obama seemingly did take his side of the debt issue to the American people.
Charlie P Brannan has found and exposed 36 Obama lies and deceptions among Obama’s short answers to cherry-picked questions from friendly reporters.
Enjoy.
My opinion….
If this was the best Obama could do in ”taking his side to the American people,” we’ve got nothing to worry about.
Just keep blasting away at his lies with these truths.
Maybe a few in the media will pick up on it.
Why is this woman always trying to tell us how great he is? I’ll be glad when she is gone too………….
If this really is a debate (fight, whatever you want to call it) between Obama and Paul Ryan, then Paul Ryan is raking up the points!
OUCH!
Pelosi reminds me of the original “Romper Room” programs on tv.
Every time I see her, I go back in memory to “Romper, bomper, stomper do.”
We quickly learned that all of Obama’s promises came with expiration dates.
But now – because of this Obama/Ryan/Cantor blow up – we just learned that even Obama’s hissy fits come with expiration dates!
John Hayward puts it this way in Obama Temper Tantrum Reaches Expiration Date
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”I will not yield on this.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our peerless leader couldn’t lead a kindergarten class back off the playground after recess, let alone lead the Congress, the Nation or the Free World.
Especially the part about saying the same things in public that you say in private, that’s not part of his character. This is brilliantly true ….and Obama is in Epic FAIL mode on this. “But I learned then that presidents serve themselves well when they say the same thing in public as they do in private, dealing with congressional leaders earnestly and honestly.”
Obama “…But…I WON….you have to do what I say!”
