WHOA! WHAT A REBUKE TO THE ENTITLEMENT CREW!

Thomas Peterffy hits the nail squarely on the head with a sledgehammer. With each passing year, especially over the last 4 years under Obama, Biden, Reid & Pelosi (aka the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse), we have been heading pell-mell down a very dark and dangerous road.
This election provides every voter with a very stark choice: We either continue down the road towards Euro-Socialism and race those fabulous countries like Greece, Spain, Italy and France into the trash heap of failed democracies or we turn back, embrace the greatness of our US Constitution and the Bill of Rights and reaffirm our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Free market capitalism is the greatest engine in the world. Thomas Peterffy knows this, do you?

The entitlement “crew” are over 35 million of your countrymen who lost their jobs when billionaires moved US factories overseas over the past 40+ years (but especially the last 12 years after Bush gave China most-favored-nations trading status; see: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/appearance/596305776) even while the population has increased. Reducing people to “moocher” statistic is cynical, elitist and downright vicious. (Apparently the wolves don’t even bother wearing sheep’s clothing when making their case any more.) The other mistake is assuming all causes are the same, or all effects from those causes, or that explanations are ever complete, inclusive or comprehensive. America is a mixed economic system, not entirely capitalist or socialist. Of course that’s not taught but the facts are obvious. The dumbing down began with the Dept of Education during the first industrial revolution when Henry Ford, Rockefeller, et al felt that Americans needed to be domesticated into being better workers, not educated to becoming independent thinkers or doers. See: http://wayback.archive-it.org/924/20071210204136/http://thememoryhole.org/edu/school-mission.htm This current generation of conservatives seem to be lacking both a complete philosophical system / knowledge base, not to mention a heart. Their premise seems to be that man’s purpose is commerce, end of story. Their “hearts ARE full,” of themselves, greed, avarice, self-justification, and desperately wicked as the Bible says. Where are all the jobs that the Bush tax cuts were supposed to create? (Sound of one hand clapping.)

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up
"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
