  YUP!

Anyway....................   My point is that people who are over-dependent (or dependent period) on these Taxpayer-paid so-called "government" social programs will go nuts when the "govt." can no longer provide them and will immediately seek replacement sources.   Look how crazy things got just over the rationing of 200 Taxpayer-subsidized apartments.  http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/12/09/police-use-pepper-spray-to-handle-unruly-crowd.html   And check out the violent   threats of democrats and unions over a piece of legislation being passed.  http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2515629#.UMend6VIpaC   Some of which have already come to pass -      Violent Mob Destroys AFP Tent in Lansing, Michigan Protest   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtbWbw66KrI   ABC, NBC and CBS ignore union thugs' attack on Fox News contributor Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/12/12/abc-nbc-and-cbs-ignore-union-thugs-attack-on-fox-news-contributor/#ixzz2ErIbiAr5   UNION THUGS ASSAULT CONSERVATIVE JOURNALIST AT MI PROTESTS   http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u_F3oev06i0     The non-producers are crybabies and will throw a major and violent tantrum when their source of free stuff ends.   As Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]"   Stay alert and be prepared.

I suppose they must be works of fiction then.  Non-believers, feel free to move on to other more 'factual' threads.

  Do you not see the links within the writing citing where the information came from?   In the subsidized housing riot story, these two links are provided -   http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/12/09/police-use-pepper-spray-to-handle-unruly-crowd.html   "The Department of Agriculture reported..."  http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm     Point is, the writers have processed the information on the stories that are already out there and come to a logical conclusion of where these types of incidents are leading.  The conclusion is my whole point in posting these writings.

Almost forgot about the unions -     Democrats threaten violence on Michigan House floor   http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2515629#.UMend6VIpaC

I wouldn't want to be inside that thing.  I'll take my chances on the outside.

Big win for gun-rights groups: Federal appeals court tosses state ban on carrying concealed weapons   http://blogs.suntimes.com/politics/2012/12/big_win_for_gun-rights_groups_federal_appeals_court_tosses_state_ban_on_carrying_concealed_weapons.html   Article includes an online poll.

Nearly Riot For Subsidized Housing   http://godfatherpolitics.com/8484/somali-immigrants-nearly-riot-for-subsidized-housing/   The meatier quotes from the article -   "This is just something to look forward to as the welfare state expands. The government intervenes in the marketplace and brings taxes and regulations that bankrupt small businesses and cause people to lose their jobs and homes. Then the government comes to the rescue and offers all manners of welfare in the form of subsidized housing and food stamps. People grow accustomed to it and dependent on it, and as long as the government provides for them, these people will keep supporting the politicians that promise more welfare benefits."   "Meanwhile, The Department of Agriculture reported the largest increase in food stamp participation in one year..."   "At what point are police going to be called out for crowd control when food stamp riots start happening because the government can’t afford to provide them anymore or when the government has to reduce the benefits? From the beginning, Obama’s plan was to cripple the economy to create an environment where people run to the government for help and assistance. But when the government can no longer afford to keep their promises, there will be rioting in the streets..."       Which somewhat leads to this article -   Armed Citizens Thwart Criminals   http://godfatherpolitics.com/8489/armed-citizens-thwart-criminals/   "But liberals like Bob Costas, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want to disarm Americans and take away their ability to defend themselves.  They only see the evil that some people create by using their guns illegally.  They seem to be blind to incidents where law abiding citizens use their guns to prevent those evil people from making them victims."   "The police can’t be everywhere and protect everyone.  That leaves our protection to ourselves and the best way to do that is to carry a gun and know how to use it."     Then, there may yet be hope for those who live in the People's Republic of Illinois -   Federal court strikes down Illinois ban on carrying concealed weapons Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/11/federal-court-strikes-down-illinois-ban-on-carrying-concealed-weapons/#ixzz2Em0UcO00

"A federal appeals court has struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois -- the only state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal.    The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals announced Tuesday that state lawmakers have 180 days to write a new law that legalizes concealed carry. "     "The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by former corrections officer Michael Moore of Champaign, farmer Charles Hooks of Percy in southeastern Illinois and the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation."

The problem that I have found with most humidifiers is that they don't have any directional fan.  The mist typically rises straight up and then falls straight back down.  Once I got one that would shoot the mist out away from the unit, I was much happier.  I have it on a night stand and it shoots out about 45º angle over the bed.  Warm mist, rather than cold.  I get a new one every two years or so, they are a pain to clean.

[quote name='Lester Weevils' timestamp='1354561111' post='854322'] I'm still curious what is in the "tea" everybody likes so much in the town. Hasn't been mentioned lately. Or did I miss it? [/quote]I'm calling that it's a special concoction made from the Cherokee Teardrop flower that Daryl showed to Carol many episodes ago. The flower probably has some antidote or restoration qualities a-la THE PATRIOT (1998) - Steven Seagal.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1355074399' post='857278'] Man, that one just showed what that Congress really thought of us, didn't it? The same group who passed our wonderful health care, also. There should have been lynchings going on that year for all who voted against the people. Well, for the last thirty or so years, at least. No telling what Rangel really got away with. Princess Nancy got away with quite a lot, also. And I'm not counting the facelifts, either. A few Republicans could be thrown in that bunch, also.

Threw out my back yesterday on a job, trying to recover. Would have liked a donut.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1354926402' post='856671'] I know the facts in this case and I know the media hype. The facts that are not in dispute do not look good for Zimmerman. I’m crystal clear on the “concepts”. Although I acknowledge that I know nothing about Florida criminal law. Again… I know this is not a popular opinion on this forum; but it is mine. I’m open to discussion of the facts or even our thoughts while we armchair quarter back. But I’m not going to have a discussion with anyone that is obviously makking personal attacks. [/quote]Dave, no one is attacking you, not I for sure. But several of us are very confused that you take the position that you have stated and you say that you are basing it on the known facts of the case, it is obvious that we are not talking about the same 'facts', as we don't see how anyone could come to the conclusions that you have given the information that we (not you, for we don't know what you've read) have seen. It's almost as if someone is playing a cruel joke on all of us by feeding a few one story, and a few others a different story. Just rying to explain our surprise at two such differing conclusions to what we all assume is based on the same info. It's like one group is coming up with the answer of '37' and the other group with '22' and both wondering how the other arrived at their conclusion. Not trying to fight with you or attack you, just very surprised/confused by your conclusion. WE/I just don't get it. I think it's all based on our differing perceptions of what we "think" has been presented as the evidence so far. Some seem to think Z was still following Martin and some that Z was headed back to or had returned to his truck. This seems to be a major point of disagreement. Sorry for long paragraph, typing on tablet which doesn't seem to work well on this forum for some reason.

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1354920248' post='856646'] I don't think I've suggested anything to the contrary. [/quote] Just a general comment TMF, not directed at you, just bouncing off your quote for those that don't understand that concept as it relates to Zimmerman not being proven guilty yet.

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1354909298' post='856589'] No evidence that we're aware of.[/quote] Hence the reason that in America, people are considered innocent until [i]proven[/i] guilty. [quote name='TMF' timestamp='1354909298' post='856589']But I'm not on the prosecution so I don't know what they have. Certainly they must have something good to have charged him with 2nd degree versus manslaughter. [/quote]Prosecutors sometimes shoot higher than what they want to get to leave room for a lower ruling or a plea deal.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1354906039' post='856561'] If that's directed at me; we all are. That is what we do, that is all we can do. When this goes to trial there may be evidence presented that changes my mind. But right now, based on what I read I think this guy is guilty of murder. I don't live in Florida, I'm not on the jury and have absolutely zero chance of being called. Just like everyone else; its just my opinion. Sorry we don't agree. [/quote] Some of us weigh the known f-a-c-t-s, testimony and indications based on the information made public thus far, others gobble up the version that the [i]media[/i] serves.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1354897003' post='856475'] And it's already being reported lower. They won't ever quit this crap. Of course with 540,000 falling off the roles, it puts it back in the high 7's or some malarky I heard this morning. [/quote] Yeah, and when everyone else drops off the rolls because either all the baby boomers suddenly retired, or society has crashed and has gone to a barter system, or everyone is just dead, then it will be down to 0% and 0bama can praise himself for being the first president to ever have Zero percent unemployment.
