Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I am sick of King County liberals living off welfare and government spending.

    It's pretty hard not to get something from the government when they are throwing out trillions of dollars a year to buy votes. That doesn't mean one can't be in favor or reigning in spending and lowering taxes.

    I like good roads. I don't have an issue with gas taxes. I like the safety net. I don't have an issue with unemployment or welfare. I do have an issue with it as a way of life from generation to generation. Its destructive

    I'm pretty sure the executives at Solyandra were against corporate welfare. Hypocrisy is a human condition but its no excuse to give to government control of every area of our lives.

    Race Bannon, folks.

    Say what you will but Race is a reasonable sort. A little cranky, but who the fuck isn't after what we've been through for more than a decade as Husky fans?

    There are trailer parks in eastern washington too, And with 5000 residents east of the mountains, I could see the percentages leading us to believe that. Freemont lives on the hill, he subscribes to the stranger. Tommy, is this author slated a bit?

    You're just not understanding English-

    Did the evil public employee unions cause a million people to move out of Detroit or not?

    That's about the dumbest straw-man question I've seen around here in a while. No one single thing 'caused it, so it must not be a factor.

    Go dig up the history of Detroit...you'll see a lot more union impact both private and public on its demise than you should be comfortable with. A lot of the moves to the suburbs by the auto makers was due to constant protests and strikes by the unions. Add to that the inane stupidity of the public unions...here is one of many stories on it (the union required the employment of a horseshoer even though they didn't have any horses...really????).

    Keep the faith...I guess?

    Nobody "subscribes" to The Stranger. It's free.

    So I hoard The Stranger to use as kindling when the end times come.

    Bingo.

    Some wacko leftist must have reached AzDuck when he was just a little duckie, blaming whitey for one more thing in this world...or he really went to the school at the People's Republic of Berkeley.
