This will probably go over the rabid one's head. Maybe I should make it my new signature.
King James Bible A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
what is wrong with that only all of it every ones heart is on the left unless they have a MAJOR BIRTH DEFECT but not ''at'' anyones right hand and makes the major error that heart a pump has anything to do with being wise repeats the old myth left handed people are fools or evil
and has nothing to do with the seating in the paris commune 2000+ years later

So i'm at the wrong job? I can't get there without going left...
Keep turning right and you won't have a job to go to! They'll just ship those pinsetters to China or India and rebuild them there when they break. Anyway, freedom is what this tea bag thing is all about, isn't it?

The only graceful way to accept an insult is to ignore it, if you can't ignore it, top it. If you can't top it, laugh at it. If you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Do you mean like Jeffrey Immelt, head of GE who Obama appointed as the head his Jobs Council? Now there is a guy who has sent many jobs to China, and holds tons of money overseas to avoid paying taxes. And he is thinking about send more while him and Obama are chumming it up. Yes Tune, this president CARES about you. One of these days you will understand that 90% of the politicians don.t give a crap about you OR the country. Dream on though.
Think that these are the things that Obama has sounded off on a few times.

You're preaching to a wall man. These people have bought the advertising, hook line and sinker. They actually think Obama and his buddies are on the side of the "little guy". They line their pockets, centralize control, and tell everyone it is all about YOU. The zombies are on the march, and they can't be rationalized with.

Tonight's Republican debate is called...the CNN/Tea Party Express debate. But noooooo, the Tea Party doesn't have any power, no influence, is declining, is unpopular...

LOL @ Neptune
Neptune...I have to disagree with you on that one.
The simple fact that last night's Republican debate was being billed as such is in itself a demonstration of how the GOP has been utterly co-opted by the Tea Party.....and, in some rather high profile instances, the party establishment doesn't seem to know just how to deal with that reality and simultaneously maintain their electoral base.
A classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario.......ask Romney. The Republican primaries should prove to be a lot more entertaining than the general election. Reagan's policy about "never speaking badly about a fellow Republican" is about to die a slow and painful death.

And at first I thought you were talking about how the Leftist Progressives have taken over the Democratic Party! It is only fair to have a balance of power, that is why there is a Tea Party.

I know. I LOVE IT! (intercourse) the GOP establishment. It's time to turn that crusty ole political party upside down and inside out. It's the ONLY way this country will make it, if we get rid of these Washington fossils and their political machine.

Oh, yeah, Romney sees the writing on the wall. That bastard was playing the "middle" (read: RINO) until he discovered that all the heat is coming from the RIGHT, not the left or center. He shuffled over so fast, I'm surprised he didn't blow out a hip joint.

The brilliance of the system is what created the Tea Party.
When radicals such as the Leftist Progressives who have taken over the Democratic party rise to power, there is always a counter balance. The difference between the two is the Tea Party does not hide where they are coming from. But the Leftist Progressive hide under the cloak of Liberal, middle of the road and Libertarian. They will hate, condom and ridicule this group even though they have every right to exist under our great system that these Closeters seek to alter.
Not hard to pick out the ones who hide, even though they claim the nonattackable high moral ground of Middleism and Libertarianism, they cannot define where they claim to stand without dong a Google search first.
Though they hide, the giveaway is they may throw a jab at the left once every other Sunday, but spend the rest of the time throwing knockout punches at the right.

Well, I'm pleased you re-read it instead of going by what you probably felt I was "likely" to say. Unlike some, I can indeed make a political observation without being politically partisan.

President Barack Obama introduced his long-awaited jobs plan to Congress yesterday. Let's set aside the fact that it has taken this President almost three years to realize there's a jobs problem in this country and evaluate what he proposed. As you would expect, he set forward the usual Keynesian policies: backfilling state and local coffers to keep public employees on the taxpayer dole, extending unemployment benefits, and funding expensive construction projects to keep the money flowing to his union patrons. Seemingly recognizing that voters want Conservative reforms rather than more of his liberal agenda, he also co-opts a Republican idea for job growth: cutting taxes on job creators to incentivize hiring.
What belies Obama's real agenda in this jobs program is how he proposes to pay for it--by raising taxes on individuals making more than $200,000 a year, changing the depreciation schedule of corporate jets, and raising taxes on oil and gas. Just like with his first stimulus bill, Obama's primary objective is to advance an ideological agenda and grow the size of government!
And someone still needs to explain to me how raising taxes on job creators to offset tax cuts to those same job creators is going to accomplish anything! If the President really wants to put unemployed Americans back to work, he only needs to do two things:
restore confidence to the markets by making the Bush tax cuts permanent, and roll back the oppressive government regulations that are choking the economy. What makes this even worse is that it seems the President's secondary objective is merely to score cheap political points. On the same day that he introduced the bill to Congress, the DNC launched a television ad campaign that will run in targeted states. And today, Obama hits the campaign trail, again in key swing states for 2012. While, ostensibly, the objective of both the ad campaign and the President's travel schedule are to advance his jobs plan, the fact that they are targeting states that Obama needs to win in 2012 shows us that his true objective is to offset his 51% disapproval rating.
It's a sad state of affairs when this President, who promised America he would change how business gets done in Washington, sacrifices the welfare of the millions of unemployed workers in this country on the altar of political gamesmanship. Fortunately, voters aren't going to forget that Barack Obama owns this economy and its 9.1% unemployment rate.
Thank you,

With his outcome of his own reelection effort 14 difficult months away, President Obama suffered a sharp rebuke at the polls Tuesday, when voters in New York elected a conservative Republican to represent a Democratic congressional district that has not been in Republican hands since the 1920s.
Bob Turner, the winner, cast the election as a referendum on Obama’s stewardship of the economy and, in the state’s 9th Congressional District, which has a large population of Orthodox Jewish voters, the president’s position on Israel.
Turner, 70, a retired cable television executive who has never served in elective office, defeated Democratic State Assemblyman David Weprin, 55, who has two decades of public service experience, to fill the seat left vacant when Anthony Weiner (D) resigned in disgrace in June after more than 12 years in the House.
...
Turner, who ran as a staunch conservative embracing the tea party, will be the first House Republican representing this portion of Queens since the 1920s — a striking departure from its Democratic traditions. This is the district that sent the late Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic Party’s 1984 vice presidential nominee, to Congress, as well as Sen. Charles E. Schumer, one of the party most consistent liberal voices.
===========================================
He embraced the TEA PARTY. Well, how about THAT, Neptune?

Even before the polls closed, the recriminations — something short of panic, and considerably more than mere grumbling — had begun. On a high-level campaign conference call Tuesday afternoon, Democratic donors and strategists commiserated over their disappointment in Obama. A source on the call described the mood as “awful.”
“People feel betrayed, disappointed, furious, disgusted, hopeless,” said the source.
================================
What happened to the "hope" part of hope and change?

Since taking office, President Obama has pushed forward with his agenda to pick winners and losers in the energy industry. One of the "winners" Obama picked was California-based solar company Solyndra. Not only did both Obama and Biden tout to the American public how great they thought the company was, but the Administration green-lit a taxpayer-funded loan for the company at over a half billion dollars, in spite of evidence that the company was on the brink of bankruptcy!
Now, just over two years later, Solyndra is closing its doors and has laid off over 1,000 workers--without repaying the taxpayers that $535 million! The level of corruption involved is yet to be determined, and two executives from Solyndra are scheduled to testify in front of Congress about the matter tomorrow. Here's the thing: they are invoking their Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate themselves and will not be answering questions!
It's obvious that something criminal has taken place, but Barack Obama's allies in the mainstream media can't wait for the story to die. This is why we've launched our new petition demanding Congress conduct a thorough and exhaustive investigation into the administration's role in Solyndra's theft of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. There's a trail of evidence suggesting the White House not only supported Solyndra's attempts to receive government funds, but pulled strings to make it happen!
From literally buying votes for ObamaCare, to the "Fast and Furious" gunrunning scandal, to aiding and abetting Solyndra's theft of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, this Administration's corruption seemingly knows no bounds. That's why it's up to Congress to fulfill its role as a check and balance against the Executive Branch. Congress must launch a comprehensive investigation into the White House's involvement in the scandal!
It's time for us to send a message to Washington: these corrupt dealings may be acceptable in Chicago, but we will not allow them to take place at the federal level. Please, take a moment to use our state-of-the-art petition system to contact your elected representatives and demand that Congress investigate the Solyndra bankruptcy. You do not need to make a donation in order to use our system; we provide this service free-of-charge. While we depend on generous donations from patriots like you, these gifts are always voluntary.
