POLITICIZING A TRAGEDY…WTF…???
But FITS, and the Liberal-Tarians don’t politicize ISIS, or terrorists killing children in Doston, do you???
Dunno, but you sure do. Day after ever-loving day.
Yet another government asset that should be sold off/privatized.
Obama’s gonna tell you this crash is your fault, because you ain’t been payin’ enough taxes….
Well you certainly are not paying taxes what with being on medicaid…
Why do you Dumb@$$#$ even post???…
That’s a question you are better off answering for yourself.
Wow!!!…GREAT creative comeback…you think of that yourself????…LMAO…
You have to be filled with self-loathing. You are everything people who think like you profess to hate. A lazy, unemployed taker. paying no taxes while sitting on your ass and collecting Medicaid benefits, SSI, and other public benefits; eating up precious resources, living on the backs of the taxpayers and producing absolutely nothing of value. In short a welfare king.
STFU…you brain-dead idiot…unless you can come w/ something pertinent and new…and maybe even remotely close to the truth…you are an inane ignorant @$$-hole, riding on the stupidity of those just as irrelevant as you…
The reason I Pi$$ you off to the level I do, is because I at least use my mind enough to PEG you for EXACTLY who, and what, you are…
If you’re incapable of an original thought…all you do is articulate your vapidness when you post…Dumb@$$…
In Obummer’s world a white cop shot the black engineer and he lapsed over the throttle throwing it wide open. You mean you missed that? LOL
What’s so sad R.E…they could peddle that Bull-$#!t…and most Democrat voters are so stupid, they’d buy it…
How’d that work again with Nixon doing it to healthcare? Surging costs and corporate greed bilking us. Or what about deregulating energy in California a’ la Enron artificially upping wholesale prices.
Be careful what you wish for. This notion that the private sector is a vaunted fair marketplace of wonder and delight is rubbish. They are just as greedy, inept and wasteful as the public sector…and they aren’t even as accountable. They only have shareholders to answer to…not taxpayers.
Sit down and really think about where this anti-gov push is coming from? I’ll give you a hint….millionaires and billionaires.
Mandated employer health care by Nixon is not free market…nor is federalizing Medicaid.
Enron bought and sold from public/gov’t utilities…again…not free market.
“They are just as greedy, inept and wasteful as the public sector…and they aren’t even as accountable.”
Companies in a true free market environment(I know, it’s hard to find now) that don’t please their customers go out of business.
Think about electronics, which is substantially more free than many other markets.
What about privatized prisons? Check out the spike in incarceration rates prompted by get tough on crime laws that were passed by legislatures manipulated by lobbyists for private prisons….all using our money.
The conditions of the prisons and treatment of inmates is sub-par given that profit is the prime motive.
That’s my point, in some cases privatization is good. However, in many other sectors where public welfare is concerned, it isn’t, b/c it emphasizes profit over people.
“What about privatized prisons?”
The problem is they are still administered by a corrupt judicial system(gov’t) and funded in a round about way by taxpayer money.
I see. So you are all about no gov’t and only customer response determining winners and losers?
That’s great and all but what about metal shards in my Cheerios? What about lead paint on my kids’ toys? What about tainted beef? What about toxic dumping into rivers?
I could go on and on and on but ultimately private companies will take the path of least resistance towards profit (until they are caught). Is that what you want? A reactive system to people dying?
“That’s great and all but what about metal shards in my Cheerios? What
about lead paint on my kids’ toys? What about tainted beef? What about
toxic dumping into rivers?”
That’s what lawsuits are for- also, metal in your Cheerios isn’t a common worry, nor tainted beef, etc. et al.
“shit happens”- but I’m not for liability free society.
“A reactive system to people dying?”
As I mentioned before, companies that harm their clients as part of their business philosophy in a free market don’t last long(which is different from accidents), if they are government supported…then they sometimes get carte blanche and can screw people with impunity…but again, that’s not ‘free market’.
What are you arguing for? Pre-crime? I don’t think you want that.
The DEA killed more people than the FDA which killed more people than all the bad meat and drugs ever consumed!
People worry too much about labelling cockroach bits, weevil husks and rat part percentages, and not enough about the size of their paycheck!
The nanny state has protected the unlucky far too long, it’s time for those who can afford quality to eliminate the lazy bottom feeding leeches.. that’s what they deserve!
As it says in the bible, those who have much will get more, and those who have little will have that little taken away.
Eat the poor, feed the rich.
The DEA is a horrendous organization, also supported by a corrupt judicial system….feeding the problems in the black community disproportionately to other races by imprisoning their youth over victimless crimes.
Yeah, who ever heard of corruption in the *private* sector?
It’s *laws* that make people criminals, and men with guns and steenking *badges* that put private, honest, hard working captains of industry in prison… let’s not forget *that*!
Now, now- I never said let alone implied any of that.
It’s just that a free market is a far better long term arbiter of “fairness” that any attempts by a corrupt gov’t to moderate “fairness”.
Privatized prisons?
How about privatized police forces?
And what’s all this shit about licensing airplane pilots, and surgeons?
building standards and permits, toxic waste, dangerous explosives, deadly biological research permits, anthrax and plague controls, quarantine…
but – we need men with guns to stop women from having abortions!
Damn. You are against the Prison Industrial Complex. WOW you got one right !!! Add to that the Pharma Industrial Complex.
I have always been a free market Republican but there has come a time for regulation to keep sanity in business. For lack of a better option we have to have government. But only as much as needed. Not the all controlling mess we have now. Somewhere between where you and I are politically would result in a wonderful country.
Government actually doing its job is “playing politics” because it doesn’t go to some wealthy pro-Republican billionaire.
You can only politicize events when it results in cutting something or pointing a finger at the black community.
Everything the government is involved in is full of fraud,theft,lies and unaccountable. Look at each branch of the Federal Government and show me one that is not full of all of these,
Methinks you should move to a country with much less government to live the dream. Somalia is nice. Or maybe Yemen. There’s no gov. to encumber your freedom in those wonderful places.
You libturds seem to think that the only alternative to an all controlling govt. is no govt. at all. That is called anarchy . A govt. that can be all and do all can take all.
Seems to me the t-baggers cut off their noses to spite their faces.
When we refrain from baseless over-generalizations and concentrate on facts, there are several countries (western democracies) who are practically fully fledged socialist nations with better GDP per capita, lower crime, lower unemployment, better education, better healthcare, higher well being index etc…and their income tax rates are the same or only slightly higher than America’s per bracket.
Problem for t-baggers is that all that success comes with lots of gov’t and therefore you lot would rather live in a Fox News driven hellscape of guns and religion than actually embrace a model that can lift America to uber awesomeness.
Somalia – the greatest good for the greatest number.
“Seems to me the t-baggers cut off their noses to spite their faces.”
Some would do well to cut off their faces to spite their noses . . .
And anywho if you’ve ever smelled a t-bagger’s face you’d understand why they would cut off their nose . . .
Name a few.
NO GOVERNMENT?
BLASPHEMY!
next, you’ll be preaching the gospel of supply-side Jesus!
Yes ” Conservatives” never politicize tragedies,
BENGHAZI!!!!
No…they never do.
Conservatives are the real victims here. They are way into the victimhood thing.
Conservatives are the victims here. Working types will be squeezed for more taxes to pay for the replacement of all that junk. Going 100 mph. into a 50 mph curve. WOW It had to be Bush’s fault. LOL
Bless your heart. I can sympathize with your desperate plight of being a white male in America.
There are a lot of brown, black and yellow tax payers also. But I guess the only ones that you are concerned with are the white ones.
It’s just those taxpayers seem to have a complex known as “47%-itis” ….I wonder why that is?
That’s easy 47% makers 53% takers. Democrat Nirvana.
There it is..the victimhood loop.
Hey! that’s *Jesus*’s line!
“There are a lot of brown, black and yellow tax payers also”
Horseshit! White people are the only ones who pay taxes – get an effin clue.
Thanks. I needed a good laugh this morning.
Who’s going to stand up for the *white* man?
*sob*
Conservatives are quick to politicize it too.

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste…”
BEN … GHAZI!
not political at all.. Bush? Who’s that?
Terri Schiavo. Nuff said.
Those are not fiscal liberals. Those are whinny pork barrel liberals.
The federal Gruberment should not be in the railroad business at all.
The state shouldn’t be in the business of promoting the general welfare of its citizens – that’s just *crazy*!
The state shouldn’t be in the business of promoting the general welfare of its corporations, either.
This whole crony backhanding, picking and choosing the favored corporate and private donors stinks. Unions not excluded.
If only the fondling fathers could have realized how seditious the phrases “promote the general welfare” and “provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.” really was.
It’s a tough cross to bare.
Hey, why don’t They do both?
So far it has just been the military and the big banks that get the lion’s share of the welfare.
There is zero reason something like train speed should be controlled by a single operator in the modern world. No for-profit outfit would ever operate under such outdated conditions. Only federal funding and federal protection from civil liability can explain this. We need to pull all federal funding for obsolete mass transit and spend it on autonomous car research. It is painfully obvious that it is the future of transportation. Too bad government never cancels a program that has federal employees on the payroll.
yeah.. no need to politicize – mass transit.
No need to politicize????…that’s a blatant admission liberals are guilty…LMAO…Who do you think you are fooling…???…LMAO…
Who? Obviously I’m fooling you, though you provide such excellent tools for the endeavor, it’s hardly a compliment. All I can really do is magnify the job you’ve already done to yourself.
As a fool, you’re not that unique, except perhaps in your ranking – which makes sense. The truly insipid fools are marked by the energy they invest in childish obnoxiousness, as though the volume and intensity of their claims of self-worth somehow gives them relevance. I suppose it’s akin to closing the eyes while laughing so loudly at one’s own jokes that the imagined approbation of the audience isn’t contradicted by either sight or sound.
The plain meaning of even the most common conversation quickly becomes the most impenetrable subtlety, and must be “retranslated” into fool speak, in order to disguise the inability to understand.
Once a received message has been thus translated into nonsense, it only remains to open the tool box marked “childish taunts, tired cliches, rubber and glue” and select a well-worn reply.
Everyone else is a fool, to a fool.
You ALWAYS run from who you are, when it manifests…Don’t you???…LMAO…
The reply closest to the top of the box.
Go for it Euwe. You have the big shovel well in hand today. Pile it high. LOL
It’s a GRAND case of the PIG SQUEALING when he is STUCK…my the truth….LMAO…
It is my pleasure to volunteer this important public service.
Please stop all your whining about conservatives and liberals. These are people. Real lives. Some conservative, some liberal, I would imagine.
Do you think they care NOW? Seven are dead, more are injured. I wonder if those who were injured looked up and said, “oh please god don’t let it be a democrat, a republican, a green party, or a libertarian, rescuing me. I imagine they thought – thank god someone found me and I might live to tell my story, however wonderful or horrible it might be.
let them die in church
Bigot against Christians much????
Missed the reference – again.
No, the problem is: I hit the NAIL on the HEAD..and that’s what P!$$#$ you off…LMAO…
You really only have two replies when you’ve just had the shit slapped out of you, don’t you?
The “got your goat” reply
and the “run from who you are” reply.
If there are others, don’t blame me for forgetting..
When both apply, perfectly…why do you get so P!$$#d…Dumb@$$????…LMAO….
Ashamed of who, and what, you are???
No, just pointing out that you’re completely bereft of ideas.
No…you’re just simple, and easy to discredit…LMAO…
ok… show me.
A DEAD GIVEAWAY liberals are Guilty…when they want to take POLITICS out of it… LMAO
It is being politicized for Amtrak funding, a federally-chartered corporation. The government is the majority stockholder. The board appointed by the POTUS and confirmed by US Senate, yet they operate as a for profit company.
Read the news today, this tragedy is being used to eek out more funding for Amtrak.
Who said: “Never let a crisis go to waste”….????…
Winston Churchill. Could have been M. F. Weiner or Rahm Emanuel.
DING, DING, DING…Obama’s Top Stooge: Rahm Emanuel
Many want credit. I typed Winston Churchill, but before hitting send, decided to verify. I personally think Churchill.
Winston Churchill helped win WWII…
Emanuel helped DESTROY America, and he has Chicago in an even bigger mess than it was……so I’d attached it to Raham…if it’s a negative reflection…He certainly has earned it…
Churchill did help win WWII, as did Roosevelt.
As a negative reflection, this once, I might let Raham claim it.
Edit disappeared. *Rahm.
My mother used to say: “the true amount of political belief racism, religious hatred, homophobia or other strongly held beliefs will be determined by one being in the ditch and refusing the hand that reaches down to help you out.”
Tell that to the dead and injured peoples families. Let’s hear their side of the story.
Has the end begun for FITS…Word is out: “It is Done.”
Where you are headed, your access to a computer is not possible. You will, however, have access to a rec room tv and printed reading materials.
I’m not sure why this is the Republicans’ fault. If Amtrak can’t operate a safe railroad without sufficient government money, then why was it operating a railroad without sufficient government money?
