I am not a Tea Partier, but agree with them that government should be downsized to provide protection for the American people, which includes fighting Islamic terrorism on our terms and in the place of our choosing, and protecting our southern border against unwanted immigrants. It should also provide the infrastructure to allow commerce, and then should get out of the way.

The Constitution does not require the federal government to assist in the financing of higher education, provide heating assistance, or help people pay mortgages that they should not have been given.

America has become a land of “gimme” and it is time for people to realize that you have to give before you can get. A national sales tax will increase the number of givers. Then, these people who now pay nothing and demand everything will have a legitimate say in what the government does.

[2.37] Then Adam received (some) words from his Lord, so He turned to him mercifully; surely He is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
[2.38] We said: Go forth from this (state) all; so surely there will come to you a guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.
[2.39] And (as to) those who disbelieve in and reject My communications, they are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.
[2.40] O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and be faithful to (your) covenant with Me, I will fulfill (My) covenant with you; and of Me, Me alone, should you be afraid.
[2.41] And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which is with you, and be not the first to deny it, neither take a mean price in exchange for My communications; and Me, Me alone should you fear.
[2.42] And do not mix up the truth with the falsehood, nor hide the truth while you know (it).
[2.43] And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down with those who bow down

We should demand that, if we are going to stave grandma and grandpa, is the rational arguments for the “problems with Islamist extremists?”

The truth, people, is that the biggest threat of domestic terrorism in the US comes from the radical right, not “Islamists.” According to the Southern Poverty Law Center. http://tinyurl.com/3wxfeeb

Second, so-called “Islamist terrorism” in Europe has been on the wain for several years now, according to Europol.

It is silly to state that we must starve old people over the near non-existent problem of “Islamist terrorism.” We do need to double -down efforts to combat radical right terrorism and divert resources and manpower to radical right terrorism.

[2.237] And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have appointed for them a portion, then (pay to them) ha!f of what you have appointed, unless they relinquish or he should relinquish in whose hand is the marriage tie; and it is nearer to righteousness that you should relinquish; and do not neglect the giving of free gifts between you; surely Allah sees what you do.
[2.238] Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah.
[2.239] But if you are in danger, then (say your prayers) on foot or on horseback; and when you are secure, then remember Allah, as. He has taught you what you did not know.
[2.240] And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for a year without turning (them) out, then if they themselves go away, there is no blame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[2.241] And for the divorced women (too) provision (must be made) according to usage; (this is) a duty on those who guard (against evil).
[2.242] Allah thus makes clear to you His communications that you may understand.
[2.243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life; most surely Allah is Gracious to people, but most people are not grateful.

Hey if you kill all those that need social security maybe you can fund all the wars you want.

lieberman is insane, we need to cut defense spending and eliminate social security to pay down the debt. at the very least people should be able to opt out of social security.

eslaporte,

your points are totally irrelevant. “The truth, people, is that the biggest threat of domestic terrorism in the US comes from the radical right, not “Islamists.” According to the Southern Poverty Law Center. http://tinyurl.com/3wxfeeb.” who’s talking about “domestic” terrorism. did someone send out a memo saying to always talk about domestic terrorism. lieberman says, “dangerous world while we’re at war with Islamist extremists who attacked us on 9/11 and will be for a long time to come.” i would assume he’s talking about wars in iraq and afghanistan.

Second, so-called “Islamist terrorism” in Europe has been on the wain for several years now, according to Europol. and who mentioned europe. i hope our tax dollars aren’t being spent to fight european terrorist. let the europeans pay for it. obviously there is some intelligence sharing but how much can that cost.

[...] month Liberman argued that we should cut social security to pay for fighting Islamic extremists. This month he is arguing that Obama is afraid to offend Muslims. He is making no sense these days [...]
