Where are all of the SOTU Threads?

Atlanta shutting down because they got 2 inches of snow is yet another iteration of the lesson that we trust modern government to be competent our own peril.

We absolutly should not let government do anything until we do, as they will almost assuredly **** it up(see obamacare).

If I am not mistaken, the software for Obamacare was written by PRIVATE industry under contract to the government.

Wow! What a bizarre leap of logic hawk.
Anybody who lives in the South knows 2 inches of snow will shut down a city.

Around noon on Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said the state didn't have enough trucks in the Atlanta metropolitan area on Tuesday because weather forecasts had showed the storm was stronger to the south. At a news conference, reporters grilled the governor as to why the state response wasn't quicker and more robust. Mr. Deal said weather predictions had called for "a dusting" of snow and that state officials planned accordingly.

"I think we have done a reasonable job," he said, saying shutting down the city on "maybes" wouldn't have made sense. If the storm had been minor, he would have been criticized for overreacting, he said.

He said once officials realized the magnitude of the storm, they sent more trucks to salt and plow, but it was too late because roads were jammed with stranded trucks and cars. "I am willing to take whatever blame comes my way," Mr. Deal said, adding, "We all have some lessons to learn."

This was a another government management **** up plan and simple. Just like the obamacare website.

You're an anarchist and as such there's not much to debate with you since you equate the national government with state government.

You have a thing about resisting authority that I can't fathom.

Living in modern times where authority has far more often been abused then used

How did you figure we got to a place where the 1% skims off 95% of productivity gains for themselves?

I figured guys like you supported the skimmers figuring that one day you'd be a skimmer and not a skimee.

self identified socialist, who has often opined that the R party needs to die.

The economy is doing ok under the circumstances. The circumstances being a legislative branch that blocks every effort to pass bills...to improve the economy.
The geopolitical situation...could be worse...call it a wash.

Government respect for the Bill Of Rights.
This is a puzzle. Which of them is being disrespected?

I can see the fourth being legitimate as a right being taken away, but the second? Please....

As far as the GOP response, I would be embarrassed were I a republican.

What exactly do you mean when you say that the 2nd Amendment isn't a legitimate right?

And, by the way, the economy sucks. The gap between rich and poor is huge

You don't see the irony of those two sentences nestled together?
