Because he’s an atheist, he’ll do anything fearing no consequences to pay at the end. That’s my opinion.
=============================
The corollary to this opinion says that Christians are horrible people who only pretend to act good because they’re threatened with eternal fire. Otherwise, they’ll be out raping young boys and murdering people.
@Ratboy
Sure did. Toy runs all over the place. Put some sod and rocks down on the lot. Cleaned the bikes, car, truck, trailer and guns. Just me and the better half. So peaceful. Weather has been great can not ask for anything better than stitig outside in a t-shirt on New Years day
ratboy:: thank you to the 2%?? the 98% is entitled to the money being kicked in by the 2%…where have you been? why thank the 2% when they were talking about confiscating it from them…and….they are not finished with the 2% yet…wait til they take their deductions away in the next stage of this and the effective tax increase will in doubt be much, much more and the bar will go down to 200,000 dollars…thank you? not likely….

I would like at LEAST ONE THING from the left! How about a “Thank You” to the top 2% for kicking in the extra? Just a thank you for helping our country for the 6 of 7 days of spending that will be covered!
===========================
What makes you think that the left and the 2% are discrete groups? This deal was pushed not only by Obama but also by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein and other 2% leftists.
@red – Walmart tells people from the start when they are hiring you for a part time or full time position. So if your cousins took a part time job why are they upset that Walmart is giving them part time hours. My niece was SMART enough to make sure to get a full time job when she want to Walmart.
Only 20% of Costco workers are full time, which is less than the 28% of Walmart workers that are full time.
If you compare Costco employees to Sam Club employees (not the whole of Walmart) non-management Costco employees only make 50 cents an hour more than Sam Club. However, Sam Club employs 5% more full time employees. So, what’s better $11 an hour for 29 hours or $10.50 for 40 hours. As for Management Employees Sam Club managers are paid 8% more then their Costco counter parts.
Costco does have a better health care plan, however the monthly co-pay is 30% higher than the co-pay Sam Club workers pay. If you are a part-time employee at Costco you can’t afford to pay the co-pay.
Basically people get your heads out of the sand and look at the facts. Walmart has the same hiring, firing and employee pay policies as 95% of all retail employers. In my area Walmart pays more than Meijer (which is a Union store). So if you are going to bash Walmart you need to bash all low paying retailers.
So, why when Walmart is using the same policies as every other retailer, is the finger only being pointed at Walmart? Why when the pay difference between Costco and Sam Club employees is only .045%, is Costco the poster child from high paid retailer?
Could it have to do with 18% of Costco stores being unionized, so the unions aren’t going to attack Costco? Could it be that Costco leadership supports democrats?

And a very Happy New Year to you too Gabe
@d.d.
This bug only hit me around Tuesday Morning, it’s weird, it’s off and on, most time I feel ok, then for a couple of hours I feel like doo doo
@USNretiredx2
Since you been away for a spell, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and may I be the first to wish you a Happy Easter
@Cathy
Ouch!
Quite the dust up over at Sirus XM1, they dropped Fox talk radio. Guess they didn’t figure it would make people as mad as it did.
@Dana
The wife does not make anyehere near the supposed 250,000 cut off but the hospital gave her a paper notice explaining the 2.3% tax increase. People forget, many of the tax cuts passed for some stimulas have now expired and are back in place.
Hmmm..did the media happen to mention that?
@Cathy
PS my daughter inlaw has worked for Wal-Mart for 12 years, complained everyday but as she says who doesn’t complain about their job.
Howdy Coffee
@USNretiredx2
I only been on very little myself, how do you like the room changes LOL
New Paint, and RAT Room built, but I did notice the coffee pot was still the old one, sad huh?
The left side of the room seems to be getting bigger (twisted)
D.D. I think that receipt was faked. Not sure. But the cost of band-aids will likely go up. The list of what is medical supply equipment is outrageous and only someone whose brain dead would believe that companies aren’t going to pass their tax increase on to the consumer.
Did not work, dang. (Twisted)
@Cathy & d.d.
There is a new fee attached to almost all over the counter meds now and some Prescriptions too. But the propaganda networks won’t report on that too much, may cause alittle anger I guess
USN
ya have to use the : input :
Can not get my smilies to work with my Note.
@USN
Can not get my smilies to work with my Note
Dude? We told you that Whiskey on New Years Eve was awesome
Well I haven’t been asleep for bout 36 hours and the wife is making me lie down now, I just hope when I wake up the Louisville bashing of Florida was real and not a dream.
The Cards dominated ther Gators boys and girls, Coffee Steve likes that
BBL..going to dreamland for a few
