    1000 bucks says 95% of them vote democrat and are the 1% they bitch and moan about. I say open the white privileged gates and let the 99% in that they say “won’t follow the rules”.

    Can you say HYPOCRITES! I knew you could….lol.

      jack,

      I’m confused. I thought only poor idiotic lemmings looking for the government to support them voted Democrat. These people are smart and successful. Why would they be voting Democrat?

      We are all hypocrites.

        Why when a conservative says something like this is it called hateful and divisive? But not called hateful and divisive when a democrat does?

          I have never seen so much venom directed at someone because of their political affiliation as I have from the far-right. I’ve been told I am the enemy, should die or go live in Pakistan or Syria, that I don’t love my country etc. ad nauseum. We don’t say things like that to you guys.

          We mainly make fun of your inability to accept anyone that’s not just like you.

          Almost every comment you make is a slam against liberals.

      Ron- Ignorance does not discriminate based on income. I mean look at the Clintons, they were dead broke when they left the white house and they were dumber than a box of rocks before and after. :)

        And no, I’m not voting for Monika’s x-boy friends wife. What is the definition of is anyway? Can you really blame Bill?

    If they sign a deal with the devil (the government) they will regret it.

    well, I say let them fund the dern thing themselves and stop sticking their hand out for money. The Feds should stick to their guns…if we do it, our terms, if you want to dictate terms, you do it.”

    A) Don’t buy coastal property. So many people fail to consider all the possible drawbacks and are taken in by the promise of living just steps from the water.

    B) Statements like this “I don’t have a problem sharing, but unfortunately there will be people not following the rules” are hilarious. This statement makes me think of a similar one you often hear: “I’m not a racist, but _____ {insert stereotypical statement}”

    What this woman meant to say was “I don’t have a problem with the concept of sharing when it isn’t applied to me. I don’t want to share my beach with the public, but I want the public to pay to fix my beach.”

      Excitebiker- that’s a great analogy.

      Kinda like Warren Buffet helping Burger King move to Canada to pay less taxes. What he should have said was all you suckers pay more taxes while I make billions and pay high priced accountants to help me pay as little as possible.

      There’s that hypocrisy thing again- it’s a beach! Ain’t it?

        Warren Buffet invested $3B into an $11B deal. He doesn’t control where BK moves their headquarters. And considering Tom Horton’s success and BK’s recent downturn, it makes perfect sense to follow the successful company who just happens to be located in Canada.

        The company will not pay less in taxes. Instead Canada will profit from the taxes, not the U.S.

        Get over your hatred of all things left. You’re really one dimensional, which tends to be boring and tedious after a while. In addition to dull.
