So here he rants today:

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.


I am pretty sure that there is some legal process by which to remove a man who has lost his sanity.

But if you get sudden brilliant ideas mere minutes after you just posted, you edit your original post and don't make three posts in a row. Either that or you'll start earning points for it - Grisu
 
So even though what he said was literally true, you have a problem with it?
 
25th amendment....

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Not crazy about Joe Biden as president but Obama has gone off the deep end. Or as Obama would put it, "If your crazy, you didn't do that, somebody else did that".

Does this guy really have access to the nuclear football?

What a silly straw man. Do people not cooperate in the absence of government force?
 
I can't imagine anyone starting or expanding a business with a nutcase like that in charge.

All you can do is hunker down and wait it out.

The history of private fire departments were not one of efficiency, and marked by far more coercive force than government fire departments.
 
Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

ARPANET was funded by the Department of Defense so that Google could make money off ads, according to this deranged individual.
 
The secret service do as well.
 
More from that article that details the devastating consequences of tyranny.

That's the reality for the 425 workers at David Barr's nearly two dozen KFCs and Taco Bells across Alabama and Georgia. Barr has already done the math.

He currently provides health care for managerial staff only, and it costs him about $125,000 to cover the 30 who take it. Extending that to every full-timer would cost him another $545,782 a year.

Health reform's creation of state insurance exchanges promises to bring down those costs, but Barr said any expenses even close to that will still outmatch his available cash.

"This business model isn't meant to support those costs," he said.

To minimize expenses, he'll fire workers and cut hours to reduce the number of full-timers to 60. Then he'll opt for the penalty instead of paying insurance. A $60,000 fine pales in comparison to the huge potential rise in health care costs.

Cashiers would be replaced by self-order kiosks, cooks with chicken breading machines. These options are too expensive now, he said, but they would make sense then.

But killing off jobs will also violate one of Barr's guiding principles.

"We have a responsibility to provide a good position that allows people a sense of pride in their work," Barr said. "And I'd rather provide that for many than provide health care for few."
 
Uh dude. It's not insane. What he's telling you is how a nonanarchic society works.
 
This thread is a good example why we teach our children reading comprehension.
 
On Friday evening, over 20 people collapsed at a campaign event for President Obama in Roanoke, Virginia, Joel Gehrke reported at the Washington Examiner.

According to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Obama told supporters there were "paralegals" available to help those who felt weak from the heat.


Corpse man. Oh corpse man!
