I realize that politicians sometimes wrestle with difficult issues and tempers can flare, but the number of times that Democrats have compared the opposition to terrorists during these debt discussions is disgraceful. It is low and shameful, and I wish I could say I expect better. But I don't, even from the second highest office holder in the land, a man elevated far above his abilities. Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room. It is time to put Biden on the first Amtrak smokin' North back to Connecticut and a long overdue retirement. As for the rest of the Dems who think that fiscal responsibility equates to slaughtering innocents, well prepare yourselves for the chopping block come next November. The American people are sick of a bunch of jackasses who think that they have first claim on the fruits of our labor. Wrong answer. We the people do not owe Washington our earnings with whatever they feel they don't need grudgingly returned to the productive class. Looters and moochers have overstepped their bounds. Time to set them straight and shut the redistribution of wealth machines down. The issues raised in this battle of lightweights are important to the survival of our country. I truly hope that America has watched and seen that if we do not send more tea partiers to Congress and anyone but Obama to the White House, we will be a second rate power. I noted yesterday that the debt ceiling deal was not as bad for defense as it was being described, and lo and behold that caught a mention in my beloved NY Times. The author is a pretty good dude and I know he has been following Blackfive for many years now. Still always fun to see a mention in the paper I hammer most often. I love the quote he used too. Yet not every military hawk was upset. At the conservative blog BlackFive, Uncle Jimbo wrote that there seemed to be safeguards to prevent defense from taking too deep a hit. “I am not a fan of much of anything cobbled together in this mosquito-infested, humid hellhole, but this is far from the worst deal that could have been made, and defense will not see any more damage under it than was in the mix anyhow,” he said.
