I whole heartily agree with your letter. Personal responsibility, you must be kidding . How many letters do you read in this paper, wanting something for nothing.? When a crime is committed, the first thing you read, its someone else fault. When you are poor its someone else fault. If you have no health insurance its someone else fault. Spill hot coffee on you, someone else fault. Smoke get cancer, someone else fault. Get the point, we are trained to blame someone else.

By the way, less than 1% for mortgages are in default. That far less than illegals driving the NC highways with out car insurance. Wonder why the good ole boys at the local newspapers do not make big deal out of this?????

..."teach them about a budget, self-reliance and self-discipline."

No need for that, Larry. Jim Clark has the answer: the government will simply deduct money out of our paychecks to care for the shillrun. No muss. No fuss.

"No need for that, Larry. Jim Clark has the answer: the government will simply deduct money out of our paychecks to care for the shillrun"

neo, your racist rants tell more about you than any substance (if you had any) would tell.

Explain to polite society why you always put the word "shillrun" in your rants about government programs for the poor and downtrodden. Surely you are not as empty a person as your bigoted remarks illustrate..? A person can make points without resorting to racial slurs, but evidently you cannot. That is the chief reason you are a joke on these threads--a posterboy for ignorance, and low self esteem.

LC's/DemonDeacon's 2nd race baiting rant of the day. His numbers had been down a bit, must be an attempt to beef them up:

Surely, you do not expect people to be held accountable for their own actions, do you?
That's just not the new American way.
It's always the fault of someone else. (the lawyers have to eek out a living also, you know)

However, that may be a good idea whose time has come again.

my name is ghost from white oak and I approved this message.

Honest politicians? You mean the group that passed the housing bail out this weekend? Personal responsibility? In today's America personal irresponsibility is rewarded by our govt. courtesy of tax dollars from the personally responsible.

There is at least one honest politician on this issue, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK):

“Congress has known about the Enron-like accounting problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for many years yet we did nothing until a crisis arrived. Unfortunately, this bill is quick fix package that will reward bad actors while forcing Americans who played by the rules to pay more in mortgage payments every month."

Hugh, was this post racist?

"You mean the group that passed the housing bail out this weekend?"

Congress works on the WEEKEND!?

"Congress works on the WEEKEND!?"

Only when they have an opportunity to pander for votes.

Hillary voted yes, no surprise. Obama didn't vote, no surprise.

14 others did not vote including both of our NC Senators, where were they?

The mortgage company lost the house? Where did it put it? Can it remember the last place it saw it?

Maybe it should attach one of those beeping key finders to the key that it leaves in the front door.

When I read the sentence Tony it implies that the family of four in NJ lost the house.

I'm still not sure where the family put it :)

Dan,
You are always telling everyone what a "good" father and husband you are....so why do you condone, by default, neo's blatant use of "shillrun" and others he's used in the past?
Why, since you are such a devout Catholic, don't you repudiate the words of Chucka on another thread where he uses the code "HNIC"?

We can disagree on politics all day long, but I doubt you want your children going around calling African Americans racial slurs. If I'm right, why don't you step up? Does your religion condone the racial slurs used by neocon and chucka? I doubt it, so why do you just let it slide?

Grow a set, Dan. Stand up for what is right, just because it's the right thing to do. You can be against Obama without the need to bring out racial slurs. None of your high headed crap, just use some decency here.

Think of the future and of your children.

BTW, this is not about being politically correct, Dem Vs. Rep, rich vs. poor, rather it is about human decency.

John Graham said: "Explain to polite society why you always put the word "shillrun" in your rants about government programs for the poor and downtrodden."

Because liberals are want to tug at the heartstrings of the gullible by declaring every scheme they hatch up to fleece money out of the public is "for our shillrun".

"Grow a set, Dan"...

I nearly busted a gut at that one...coming from one who lacked enough of "a set" to travel to France as an American and instead hid behind the Canadian flag patch.

I love it, now I'm John Graham!! This is fun.
I've been a woman, a man, a debate coach, and now I'm John Graham. neo, you are almost as pitiable as Mr. Produce used to be.

Why don't you admit to your racial slurs and own them? What's the matter? Can't fess up to why you use "Shillrun" and other epithets?

Why do I use 'shillrun'? Because that's what slick willie's Surgeon General and affirmative action product, Jocelyn Elders called children, and I think it's funny. Do you think of her as racist? I don't really 'own' the word, I just borrowed it from her.

BTW, I've never called you a "man"...

I love it! I'm out west for almost a month, and I come home to a new identity! I can remember Oak Ridge Runner calling me Ross, and some lady at Grimsley calling me out as a woman, and poor old Mr. Produce trying his lazy-boy best to find my identity...and now I'm John Graham! I do have a mountain house in Waynesville, so I guess now I can be the owner of the downtown store.....

I'm pumped! Neocon admits his racism AND gives me a new identity---all in one day. I kind of liked being the "woman from Grimsley" there for a while....and the debate coach at Wake...but for now, I'll enjoy being John Graham! Quick! Someone call Oak Ridge Runner and Mr. Produce to tell them my latest alias. LOL!

"You can be against Obama without the need to bring out racial slurs."

I am against Obama and haven't used racial slurs, nor do my kids. Happy?

THE LIBERAL CANADIAN, this is either you or one of your clones, 'Proud Donkey' or 'Yellow Dog':

The ‘GOP slime machine’ plans to lie about Hagan
Strap in! The GOP slime machine is cranked up and ready to go. Prepare for Elizabeth Dole, George Bush, John McCain and others to tell us how Sen. Kay Hagan will take away our guns, have tea with terrorists, blast open our southern border and let gay people marry!

In a nutshell, it is the same stuff that put Bush in office. Fear! Fear! Fear! That’s all they have to peddle after the past eight years.

“Giddy” Dole has been nothing short of a lap dog for George Bush, showing up in North Carolina just months before the election, after being totally absent for over five-and-a-half years! Her ads are slick, but she can’t pull the wool over this state twice. She is a pitiful excuse for a senator.
Kay Hagan, my family stands with you!

John Graham
Greensboro

"including both of our NC Senators, where were they?"

Might check Kansas for Elizabeth Dole.

Besides, like I've said before, it's not really a bad plan. Certainly not perfect, but not bad.

I remember that letter Neo, the only things missing were the LOL's. Guess the N&R edited them out.

If that is a "REAL" LTE, then I'm proud to be called "John Graham"! I agree with everything in it, including the "slime machine"! Since I have been out of the state since the end of June, returning a week or so ago. I must have missed it. God bless John Graham AND his department stores!

That letter was posted on July 3. Perhaps Demon Deacon and John Graham are not one in the same, after all no one has an exclusive on an immature writing style devoid of facts.
