Why is the city of Baxter involved in Kuepers Inc. building Sprucewood Townhomes? City governments should not be involved in regulating housing projects, or raising taxes to pay for a single company’s project, or zoning, or permits, or regulating architecture. The state government should not issue tax credits to some businesses and not others.
If the state of Minnesota is out of money, where did the Statewide Health Improvement Program get the $7,500 to grant to the Brainerd Park Department?
Instead of police policing litter, why not give people in jails something to do?
The real reason why Democrats are against voter IDs: No more votes from illegal aliens or frauds.
Democrats do a good job of hiding their intentions, by merely accusing Republicans of doing, and saying, exactly what Democrats are doing and saying.
The U.S. government is adding more regulations to airlines. We now need more protection from losing our bags, being bumped and hold time. Anybody ever heard of competition? Progressives are trying to regulate the airline industry to death. They could, just, call for the nationalization of the airlines. Then we’d have the choice of flying United States Air or nothing at all. After all, that’s what every Socialist country, in the world, does.
The United Nations has declared April 22, International Mother Earth Day. To those who worship Gaia, this is Christmas, Halloween and April Fools, all rolled into one. Christmas, because they feel good about giving presents to a being as real as Santa Claus. Halloween, because they can hide their real agenda behind masks to scare away evil spirits, like conservatives. April Fools, because they’re only fooling themselves.
Fortunately, for the country, the Tea Party will do something about putting politicians in jail who steal billions and trillions from the American people.

KNOCK IT OFF!!!!! The Tea Party is a party of bigots.
8 might be a record
8 different rants in Bill's letter this week, I think the most I have counted in the past was 7. I think the government needs to regulate the number of rants he is allowed on a weekly basis.
Upon further review...
The last paragraph can't be counted as a rant, so the new total is 7 rants.
I can't be drunk yet I've only had one tonight.
This is what is going to
This is what is going to bring this country down. Instead of actually discussing the issues, the regular posters here disintegrate the conversation into "liberals this, conservatives that." I would be very surprised, if this keeps going and growing as it has been, if there is not a civil war in the country in the next 20 years. And THAT is being liberal. For once, just once, I would like to see something discussed here without resorting to ad hominem attacks. Is that possible?
agreed.
I agree with mndad1. Finger pointing, and throwing labels around gets you no where. During the Clinton years, we had a surplus, something there was working. While, I realize the 'parties' will never see eye to eye.... these politicans need to quit pointing fingers, and trying to get everyones panties all bunched up, and do the job in which they were hired to do, which I believe is make this a great country, for it used to be, and can be again.
Bill, isn't there an Aitkin newspaper?
because when I see your name I see the same blather...
How much money is this going
How much money is this going to cost MN taxpayers and people who don't currently have a photo ID?
What's next? Tattooing national ID numbers on our foreheads?
John, You're behind the
John,
You're behind the times. All that info will be in the Health Care Chip in your forearm.
please run more tea party candidates
I saw on the news last night that the Tea Party (decked out in costumes) declared that the GOP in DC was not making enough cuts and they were going to run candidates against the sitting GOP legislators, please do that.
Democrats are cheering!
American people dont like
American people dont like radicals. You would think the republicans would realize this,after the [filtered word] cost them the last election.Although the baggers have a very strong hold on the repub. party,they need to break it or lose the next election.
Because of this last recession Americans are looking for level headed people to run our country,some thing the republican party has proven in the past it has been unable to do.
show me what the GOP has done for America in the last 20years,bush spent billions of dollars of tax payer money trying to get rid of S.S.,sit by and watched 9/11,got us into 2wars,left us in a recession. Yep they show did help out.
"You would think the
"You would think the republicans would realize this,after the [filtered word] cost them the last election"
LOL
?????? Jackpo
"You would think the republicans would realize this,after the [filtered word] cost them the last election"
Republicans GAIN 65 seats in House - 2010
Republicans GAIN 6 seats in Senate - 2010
So the biggest change in Congress since 1938 was a loss?
still at it eh?
nice comment jackpo, you really showed the righties you can twist the information to your liking just like a liberal
is Bill DNTMG?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I guess he could have used spell check. LOL.
Typical republican replys,Why
Typical republican replys,Why cant you answer my post.Why because i have you cornerd,because you know i am right.
What has the republican party done for America in the last 20 years,but cause us trouble,and expense.
LLR; can you prove the that the repubs. would not have got a better vote count with out the [filtered phrase]. time to put up or shut up.
wolfy you need a zodiac to float you out of this mess,but have nice day anyway lol
jackpo
when you see a "tea party" member on tv, does their name have a D, R or T by their name stating the party they belong to?
I will bet a lot of money that it is an R. Does this answer your question?
Question to you jackpo, regarding your "What has the republican party done for America in the last 20 years,but cause us trouble,and expense" comment...
what has either party done in the last 20 years?
If you say the dems saved money, look at the first 2 years of Obummer. If you want to say didnt cause trouble, NAFTA, Clinton's lovely deregulations are enough there.
The tea party wants to cut spending so we dont go bankrupt. Has either the dems or the non-tea party pubbies done any of that?
As for sitting back at letting 9/11 happen, quit watching and requoting Bill Maher. That was on his show last week. Come up with your own stuff man!
Bill Clinton let 9/11 happen. He had the chance and the knowledge of bin Ladens whereabouts and failed to take him out after he killed several Navymen.
Statewide Health Improvement Program
Perhaps Bill should do some research before spouting his tea party antics. The Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) was funded by the 2008 Minnesota Legislature for 2 years, ending this year June 30, 2011. This money does not have anything to do with our current fiscal mess as it was appropriated in 2008. In fact, the SHIP program is projected to SAVE the state 1.9 billion dollars in health care costs and move 10% of the population into healthy weight category by 2015. Without programs like SHIP, our health care costs will continue to climb out of control due to limited access to affordable healthy foods, access to recreational facilities, trails and safe places to walk or bike and to engage all sectors in creating a healthier Minnesota.
If you really care about fiscal responsibility, jobs and the health of our citizens, I would urge you to connect with your legislators about continuing funding for this vital and essential program.
Jackpo
I can't prove it anymore than you can prove that the Republicans got any less because of the Tea Party. Once again Jackpo you make statements that you never have any proof of. You made the statement, I asked the question and you can't answer it with facts to back up your statement. I don't have to prove anything because I didn't make a statement of fact I merely asked a question. I would expect that someone like you would defend the Democrats because without them you would have nothing and without their marching orders you would.quite frankly, have nothing to talk about. Day after day you merely quote the misspelled version of whatever pieces you happen to hear the Democratic message of the day is.
I'd like to take this post to
I'd like to take this post to redirect you to my previous post, then read through the conversation between my original post and this one. Thank you guys for proving me right.
thats great mndad1
dont like it, quit reading. How does one learn without reading and knowing the differences?
You keep standing there without a stance or any knowledge and just be a sheep amongst the wolves.
One thing we can all agree on that posts here, we all have a stance and want it to be known.
No matter how badly I disagree with any one of them, at the end of the day we are all Americans and I hope we would all fight for our freedoms that allow us to bicker back and forth over every issue.
I have disagreed with both dems and pubbies on here over several issues. However you have not been proven right. What you have done is prove your lack of having a side.
Without debate, we do not have a country. I have yet to see nor hear anyone that has been killed or assaulted because of what they put on the Brainerd Dispatch, LMAO.
I have friends from both sides of nearly every argument. That is the beauty of being an American. You can disagree with people and not kill them for the difference.
Nice try but I believe your jibberish is just that, jibberish.
I would rather not have a
I would rather not have a side than have my side be "I always disagree with libs/pubs every time no matter what, and all I do is attack the other side, not debate the issues." It just seems to me that is how a lot of people are nowadays. Now, I'd consider myself more on the left overall, but I carry many conservative ideals also. It's just, one thing I won't do is resort to ad hominem. It gets nobody anywhere. It's the equivalent of monkeys flinging their crap at eachother. That's what "debate" has turned to in this country.
then i have some advice
quit reading what we type and quit posting stuff on here
You are right about the
You are right about the debate thing,but i find it to be really bad on the the BDD posts. I dont think those people are compitent enought to debate, and thier only recourse is to call people names,or make fun of them.I bet most of them have not read a newspaper,or watched the news on tv this year,so they cant debate. I participate in a few other forums,and i havent seen anything like it. AS far as monkeys throwing crap at each other i find at mostly right here ,rather than on other forums.The national forums are fairly clean.
mndad1
Thank you for the comments. That's exactly what needed to be said.
with your comment jackpo
i bet you have never thought about loading up your 300 wsm or whatever gun you have and going to say, my house and taking me out over a comment that you may or may not agree with politically. We do not live in Libya lmao
We are far from a revolution or a civil war with physical violence because of political bickering on the BDD.
Obviously jackpo, you and I go to different websites because its a lot of the same to the ones I go to.
An example of what i am
An example of what i am talking about is in the above post. It dosent even make good sense.It rambles on about libia,shooting someone,to the civil war,sorry your not making good sense
Y,know this all started a few posts back,when i tryed to start a simple debate,an look at the stupid results.
i disagrre wih dems ,sound like a user name a 12year old would use,grow up.
mndad1
you are absolutely right, and I wish we could just discuss the issues without name-calling or trying to bring everyone that doesn't agree with us down to their level. Thank you.
so making a point that you wouldnt hurt anyone is rambling?
Ok, so the fact that we live in the USA where we can have discussions about politics without killing each other is not rambling on. Its FACT
"A new civil war" will take
"A new civil war" will take place only in your fondest nightmares, galt. In any event, by 2016 Obama will no longer be in office and the far right fringe comprised primarily of biblethumpers, racists, bigots, and warmongers will be back in the closet. Even Fox Noise will find it challenging to spin their agenda into palatable sound bites.
