Planet Pelosi..

What color is the sky on her planet? Unemployment checks are a stimulus?? Funny, I always thought it was jobs... Happy 4th, unless you live on her planet, no independence there..

Green. More money for her. Whether her ideas make sense or benefit the American people...that's another issue.

Actually they do stimulate the economy, I mean rent gets paid, food is bought. Besides if your friends in the GOP actually voted for the bill to pass people would get their checks, but no they obstruct just like everything else. People who are out of work because of the crash and because hardly any private business is hiring. You can bash her and the dems all you want but at least they are trying (not too hard mind you) while your GOP leaders and reps are just stopping everything. Which is funny because they scream about the deficit and what.. they caused it.

well said, the GOP can't stop the Dem's. there aren't enough. it's always us vs. them but in reality it's stupid people vs. stupid people and the more anyone believes that it's all black and white, republican and democrat, etc, the worse we get.

Our liberal brothers on this forum will never get that taking money from one group of people and giving it to another is wrong. Unemployment checks don't stimulate anything but more handouts. While it is necessary to keep people from starving it was never intended to be their income stream but rather a stop gap measure. The Dems have all the votes to do anything they want for the time being but a day of reckoning is coming. With the trillions given away we still have unemployment at exactly the same level as before, still seeing a net loss of real (non-govt) jobs and the economy is total crap with huge tax increases just around the corner. Even some of the great liberal minds of the past understood that tax decreases stimulate the economy through investment and spending. Govt cannot create wealth, they only take it.

Not only this, but Congress still has the right to give themselves raises every year...which they use every year.

Haven't you heard? Paying people not to work is stimulating. War is Peace. Paying higher taxes is patriotic. Freedom is Slavery. Spending other people's money is the road to prosperity. Ignorance is strength.

But the extension of unemployment benefits are NOT paid by employers, they are paid by tax money that the government has taken from us.

Wang, I hate to say but "abusing power and silencing anyone with opposing views" have been a staple of Christians since that Jesus character was founded anyway. If it wasnt, "god" wouldnt have had so many wars for him and kept so many injustices under the rug in the name of some myth.

To deny Jesus existed is ridiclous any historian can verfiy that. I do beleave in his existance and he is my God.I can see maybe questioning his divinity but every major religon and just about every credible historian will tell you Jesus of Nazarith definately walk the earth.

If you are going to live your life as if there is no God...you'd better be right.

LOl, I like that bumper sticks btw JP....And I do think I am (most of the time anyway...you can read another post about my growing up years as a catholic runing my spirituality).....Also, sorry if I inferred Jesus was not real. I know he did exist, not aruging that....I mean Jesus as the "savior of man" character, not Jesus as an actualy living person. Also, im not trying to stir up too much religion here, it wasnt my intent truly.....just showing there is hypocrisy in religion (perhaps more than anywhere else) as there is in politics and all other walks of life.

Lol. I do respect your views politically and religiously. But you have to keep in mind that there's a difference between the teachings of Christ and the teachings of the church. Human nature saturates not just government, but also the church, because well...we're all just human. I'm really not "religious" as a Christian because I disagree with the church on some things, but I do follow the core teachings of Christ himself. If governments are fallible, then so can the pope (don't tell any nuns or priests, they'll say I'm a blasphemer lol) because we are, in essence, just human. Besides, aren't we all hypocrites sometimes?

JC never told us to follow the pope, he said to follow him. The scripture clearly teaches that the humble are lifted up, and the proud are put down, to save our life we must lose it to him because what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Just saying!

What is absolutely absurd about Pelosi in particular is that she purports to be a devout Catholic. Then in the next breath will defend killing babies and labeling it as "Choice".
