They’ve all been runnin’ around DC gettin’ face time on the cameras w/Obama and they’re not even convened!?! We’re paying them a good salary to screw up this country, and they better darned well get after it!
I can feel the change coming and I do not even pay taxes, yet(i am a student.) get ready for the change tax… and to all those who say that there has been no change, I swear that my room changed from and offwhite to a cream color on January 20th…
Seriously. I have never felt this unsettled. To borrow a quote from either Megadeth or “A Clockwork Orange” (prolly both),”Any minute, something terrible is going to happen.”
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?
It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
Washington, D.C. (AP) – The 111th Congress was back in session today working closely with the 44th President of the United Sates, Barack Insane Obama. Fearing the wrath he might bring upon them from constituents with his super-secret, CIA-approved blackberry on crack (aka ‘crackberry’), Congress immediately passed the President’s stimulus package and adjourned, leaving Republican members of both houses taped to their chairs with their heads stuck up their butts.
Across the country, economic recession gave way to psychological depression as expressions like “Gird your loins” and “Run for the hills!” and “Bury what money you have left!” were heard on conservative talk radio programs. In sunny Florida, Rush Limbaugh threatened a knock-down, drag-out match with the tall, younger Obama, saying, “I’m gonna beat that stimulus right out of him! When I’m done rearranging his brain cells with conservative principles, they’ll have to put him on NRO life support!” Mr. Obama, hearing of Limbaugh’s challenge, simply smiled and said “Bring it!” while his head was oddly clamped in a specially-designed, half-Afro-American, half-Caucasian hair dryer. “I like the clean-cut, articulate look.” he beamed to a bent-over, head-bobbing aid.
But ordinary citizens had their heads down in a complete funk. “We’ve just borrowed our great-grandchildren’s retirement and who the hell asked them?!” moaned some blogger in Minneapolis named ussjimmycarter. “See this here wheelbarrow I just bought? It’s to carry all the cash I’ll need to go grocery shopping once this turkey is done with us. Standby for HYPERINFLATION!” Trunk lids were heard slamming all over the whorehouse store parking lot as the last Conservatives with any money left the store. The building then collapsed as the last depressed former Republican drove away.
#17 USSJC – Where did you get those stats? I like it, but prefer to have a reference before repeating stuff like that.
#18 SGT D – That bill needs an additional line allowing the citizen to shoot the libtard lawyers that violated their 2nd Amendment rights.
#19, I’ve always thought that “girding your loins” had something to do with placing as many weapons as possible on your person…which means sticking them in your pockets, socks, belt, underwear (you can get three pieces in your underwear), under your kilt, in your hat, behind your back, etc.
#24 HCG:
I’ve seen those stats before. They’ve been oft-repeated for years. According to Snopes, the data is not completely accurate. However, much appears to have been gleaned from a Website report from 1999.
As for more current data, it would probably take a while to compile data on current Congressional members. Without that, we’d actually have no idea how many more … or fewer … Congressmen have such activity on their records. My gut is more. But it’s just a gut feeling.
#19 CheriBeri:
In ancient times, under a tunic, a man would sometimes wear a loincloth (or girdle; you see the etymology). As I understand things, the girdle would be cloth or leather, and be used to hold tools, weapons, money, etc. In order to work, fight, or otherwise engage in heavy activity, a man would tuck the tunic in the loincloth (girdle), allowing for greater freedom of movement. Hence, “girding your loins” would equate to preparing ones’ self for action.
Like Frank was saying, Congress goes back in session Monday. Get ready.
Some thing bad happens every second of every day. It isn’t the bad things that happen that define us, it’s what we do with them that counts. We will survive O’voimt, Pelosi, Frank and Reid. There will be a course correction because there always is………or it is the end of days. If that’s the case what we do doesn’t matter one iota.
Integrity -doing the right thing even when we KNOW no one is looking. The caveat to that is doing the right thing whether it makes a difference or not.
That is where we lost our way, that is why we have the leadership we do, that is why this world is the cess pool that it is.
“Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
– Ephesians 6:14-17
#24 HCG- Shoot them? No. Take a 3 foot section of 1″ garden hose, double it over, wrap it in skateboard grip tape, and beat them until they pee themselves and promise never to do it again? Yes.
Every member of the US Armed Forces swears an oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States from All Enemies, foreign And Domestic …
So if an errant Tomahawk (just supposing) were to fall on Congress …
(still just supposing) minutes after the few remaining real conservatives leave the building in protest – whomever they may be – it’s hard to tell lately, since unless they agree with the dems you almost never hear about them, but surely there’s still a few …
(ahem! Anyway …)
would that be a tragic accident, a patriotic act, or the grandest case of ‘fragging’ in military history? I suppose it’d depend on who wrote the history books from that point on …
What, you’re not excited for the New Age of Peace and Healing?
They’ve all been runnin’ around DC gettin’ face time on the cameras w/Obama and they’re not even convened!?! We’re paying them a good salary to screw up this country, and they better darned well get after it!
Dear God, help us all they’re back soon.
After I’m done typing this I’m going to bury everything I own of value in the back yard and live like a cave troll.
“Gird Your Loins” should NEVER be used when referencing any group of people that includes Barney Frank! I’m just sayin’…
Yeah, for about 5 minutes. Then, most will be absent when you watch C-SPAN.
I’m checking into getting an alarm system installed on my wallet this weekend.
I can feel the change coming and I do not even pay taxes, yet(i am a student.) get ready for the change tax… and to all those who say that there has been no change, I swear that my room changed from and offwhite to a cream color on January 20th…
They still go to congress? I thought all they did was campaign. I was all set to run for public office…I’d like to see America too.
Congress isn’t that a native american word meaning, people with forked tongues who do nothing, get rich and suck up all the oxygen.
It could be Latin for people who sell their constituents down the river while glutting themselves on the national teat.
Or not.
When they show up, hand them all shovels, brooms, rakes and mops.
About time they did something to earn their paychecks for CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
tbone: trust me, I am. We all are…
My loins are not your business.
But things are not well. I am…concerned.
Seriously. I have never felt this unsettled. To borrow a quote from either Megadeth or “A Clockwork Orange” (prolly both),”Any minute, something terrible is going to happen.”
Not yet Paleo. Months, years, maybe, after we’ve ALL been hypnotized. Hypnolobotomized? Hypnobamasized? When we’re asleep at the switch,
Oh they care so much, and they just want to help.

This could be the peanut in the turd, but I doubt it would be allowed to pass under the current ‘Supermajority’
Citizens Self Defense Act of 2009
#17 – USSJimmyCarter – amazing! I new they were a bunch of bad actors and dangerously foolish but I’ve never seen it laid out the way you did.
Oh, and exactly how does one ‘gird their loins’?
Person #1: “The cliff is in front of us.”
Person #2: “No, the cliff is now behind us.”
Person #3: “You mean behind and above us with doughy clouds.”
With TRILLIONS of deficit spending (the “doughy clouds”), we shall still hit the ground face-first.

Well stated, seanmahair.
Talk about change, yep looked into my pocket all I got out was lint.
Where is the change fairy, whoops Barney is busy …….
