are the lefties warming up for the end game, when they finally destory the world with their stupidity?

News: the entire world is in collapse, eveyone has lost their jobs, food is up, property is flatlining

the lefty: oh no, this isn't good, we must pay public sector more and give the benefit scroungers more. Poor poor benefit scroungers...

    The lefties in the US are still more right wing than most UK conservatives.

    I think you find the righties have caused this by refusing to fund a bill they helped to pass into Law.
  • Thank you for your post.

    It just confirms my rough rule-of-thumb opinion that anybody who uses the term 'lefties' in such fashion is not worth debating with.

    It's both sides, not just the Tea Party.

    This shutdown is just a sideshow and a distraction and terms like "left" and "right" are irrelevant.

    It is "the system" which is broken.

    But don't worry, there's still enough money to bomb and torture innocent civilians and to spy on everyone else.
  • Worth bearing in mind that both parties in the USA lie somewhere to the right of Gengis Khan in comparison with the British Tories.

    Well, I guarantee you that you'll be first in line for the gulag. :rotfl:
  • the righties are saying there is no money to fund obamacare - the lefties won't budge.

    in fact, contrary to belief, i am a fan of the nhs and think the us would benefit from obamacare.

    what i don't like is the waste in the public sector, the refusal for anyone to accept blame for anything, the entitlement attitude, and benefit scroungers living a lifestyle as good as, if not better than lots of people who work.

    i don't see what is wrong with that?
