August 11, 2012

Bottom line: “We dont’ think government should be in control of all this. We think the people should be in control.” Watch this video; look at the facial expressions and body language of the two politicians to his left; look at the fear and loathing emanating from the other political class pigs around that table!

November 6, 2011

Mr. Morse and the left would have you believe that jobs spring from government like Eve from the rib of Adam. They do not want to admit that ‘government’ is itself a luxury item that must be paid for like anything else’ by the product of the private sector risk taking.
