ilmor Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes, I was making a joke, about Tea...Earl Gray is a "proper" british tea...sorry bad joke! I think if you and I were talking face to face over a beer there would be more things we agreed on than disagreed on. Jeff, you could well be right - so, what kind of beer do you like?

SGT/SC#0471 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Ilmore, A Log Cabin Republican is a a Gay male one...you would not believe how many very gay Republicans there actually are, they dress like outdoorsy type hunter dudes and revel in the fact that the straight dudes in the Republican organizations do not know thier true sexuality. I read about them during the last election in Seattle's weekly paper. The numbers are staggering. It was shocking to me as it would seem that gay males would be against Republican Ideals but it was a true story that was well researched, there are VAST numbers of Log Cabin Republicans...an important demographic for the party....truth is stranger than fiction. They also go by the term "American Bears", which is odd as law enforcement in our state puts bear stickers on the rear windows of their personal cars...you cannot make this stuff up I swear.

socalwrench Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 With all the 'stimulus' help going to the private market- I really am getting concerned with government control. I mean, what else do you call it when the government buys up private industry (esp. with 'strings' attached)? - ANS: Socialism. A song by Big and Rich called "Shuttin' Detroit Down" speaks volumes.

A song by Big and Rich called "Shuttin' Detroit Down" speaks volumes. huh? This isn't socialism! This is corporate welfare! Sorry! These our my tax dollars! If you want to give these #$@! companies your money with no strings, you go for it! Not even a bank loans money to companies with no strings but here we have companies not even banks will loan to! Hey, the unemployment their laid off workers are on comes with strings so if these companies want to suck off the taxpayers teat they can accept the strings or go bankrupt! I prefer the later myself! Bailouts are a bad idea...giving my tax dollars to screwed up management, that loves to pay bonuses, with no strings...is a REALLY bad idea.

ilmor Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have also been against ANY bailouts. Government should not be involved in the free markets other than for reasonable laws and taxes. Billions have been wasted on GM and now they are hopefully doing what they should have done to begin with (chapter 11 bankruptcy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Loans come with strings- that exactly my point. Any time the government 'helps' any private company- it's a bad idea. We all know that the market goes up and down, some survive while others don't. New companies replace the old ones. It's just the way a FREE market works. Instead of trying to give money to domestic car companies- TAX the foreign junk AND/OR HELP the domestic companies with prideful advertising. Faith in American products has been hurting for years.
