Yeah me to, specially because the government wasn't meddling in our business
forcing us to wear helmets while climbing trees, riding bikes, skating,

a tree house!!! Were producing a bunch of fairies thanks to our government.

Yes, thanks to all the fair weather conservatives who turn into
facists the second something happens to them or their children.

I would bet you the bicycle helmet laws were petitioned for and
enacted by staunch conservatives whose attitude was "Let 'em bash
their heads open a few times. They'll learn," until the day their
precious little package cracked their skull open on a sidewalk. Then
all of a sudden it was, "There should be a law against that!"

Yeah, we're creating a nation of pansies, but not because of the
liberals. It's the hypocrites who preach personal responsibility until
they're affected, then they want the government to step in and fix it
for them.

Big business, big banking has always been the conservative base. Who
were the first ones crying to the government with their hands out when
times got tough? Oh, and what party did the US President belong to
that signed the first bailout checks?

The Federal government is organized into three separate branches. The
executive has no Constitutional authority to "sign checks". Only
Congress has the authority to do so. Congress has complete control of
the treasury. The democrats had control of Congress for two years prior
to the last presidential election. They simply "signed the bailout
checks" without question using your expression. Bottom line is both
political parties are owned and have been for a long time by the groups
that have the funds to lobby them and buy them off.

If you have a problem with the first "bailout checks" the blame rests
solely on the shoulders of Pelosi and Barnie and friends.
