GOP: Make “personal responsibility” the theme for the next 2 years.

1) Don’t expect MY tax dollars to bail out greedmongerers on Wall Street.
2) Don’t expect MY tax dollars to support illegal foreigners.
3) Don’t expect MY tax dollars to pay for other people’s reckless childbearing.

I have not seen anything Maddow has said in quite a long time, that makes any sense whatsoever… I mean come of it, the numbers alone make it impossible for the republicans to have “obstructed” anything… And the whole republicans are stupid and just dont get it bullchit makes no sense either… We do get it, we dont like it !!!… Personally, I think the dems have lost what littile common sense they ever pretended to have… I see nothing and I do mean nothing, that makes one bit of sense, as far as their policies go… Their goals seem a tad lofty, if not fiscally impossible to achieve…

This will be amusing to watch. The Democrats have been complaining for two years that the Republicans are the party of NO with no real policies or solutions. But now the Republicans in Congress will be passing bills constantly — with spending cuts, tax reductions, tort reform, allowing health insurers to sell across state lines, etc. — and sending them to the President. Surely, after two years spent complaining about Republican inaction, the President can hardly just sit there and veto all these bills? I mean, that would make him look like a total hypocrite, wouldn’t it? He would become the “President of NO”! And certainly, how could Rachel Maddow, after complaining for two years that the “Republicans have no policies and are just blocking steps to fix the economy,” support a President who constantly vetoed legislation aimed at fixing the mess we are in? This will amusing to watch the pathetic dance and backtracking of and self-contradictions of President Obama and his most ardent cheerleader Rachel Maddow.

The last loser has to compromise. So it’s up to Obama to move.

Maddow isn’t mourning a genuine lack of compromise. She whining because what she and the left want is for the Republicans to come to them with an olive branch and accept most of Obama’s agenda with just some modifications, and it ain’t gonna happen.

Cap and trade – gone.

Obama care – gone.

Control of the internet – gone.

Progressive control of the school system – gone.

The list goes on and on. And li’l Rachel and her progressive cohorts don’t like it one bit. They don’t want compromise, they want further capitulation and they ain’t gonna get it.

Like apples? How do ya like them apples, Rachel?

You, on second thought maybe she’s right. Maybe they should be adults and compromise with Obama just like he compromised with them when he had the upper hand. Maybe….oh, wait. They will be, won’t they?

Kharma is a behar, ain’t it?

I’ll quote barry, ” ” we’re not campaigning anymore rachel, the elections over “. I guess the whining light is lit at lsdnbc

I would like to dedicete this video clip to Rachel Maddow.

I suppose you don’t have a citation from 14 years ago or from a disreputable and discredited source to back that up, Tumbleweed?

Not to be strident but who the hell is doing Maddow’s makeup? FALSE EYELASHES?????? I understand they are trying to feminize her but come on. She has a face for radio, not TV. And before you call me a homophobe, I am gay. Gay people can still critique other gays. In fact, many of my tribe find her ignorant, snarky and not ready for prime time. Her biggest fans are the leftist media who can say “Hey looky here, a lesbian on TV and we love her”.

Just a few moments as I was leaving 7-11 I had to back-up, Kumquat. Please retract your accusation.

I just looked to see where Maddow is as compared to Fox and Friends as far as ratings go.
It is funny how a program that runs from 3:00 to 6:00 AM outguns Maddow’s prime time show.
Of course it makes sense if that prattle that Ms Maddow was blathering on about in this clip is any indication of what her program is normally like. Really now, what adult with any degree of sobriety or sanity would watch or listen to that program?
That woman is a dult.

Isn’t that the truth. Kimeade, O’Van Karlsen, Il Douchey, Beckerhead, Bill-o, O’Hannity and, to a lesser extent, O’Van Susteren. Olbermann and Schultz, to a lesser extent Matthews and Maddow. To some extent, Cooper. It’s a steady diet of fear and its symptoms, including paranoia.

Maddow is a left-wing activist and has no business working on MSNBC. Maddow’s constant MO is to incite fear, with her poorly educated audience. MSNBC should be required to show a disclaimer, on Maddow’s program, noting that she is an angry radical left-wing activist.

Well son of a behar , if isn’t the same person who led the witch hunt on the compromiser Joe Leiberman .

You’re joking, right?

People who know better and who work in the advertising industry will tell you that Rachel’s audience is among the BEST EDUCATED in all of cable news.

And of course, Rachel is right here, but none of that matters to the hateful cons on this board.

I’m SO sick of listening to these libs demand compromise when for the last 2 years they were egging on BO to ram through legislation after legislation that the people did NOT want with no regard for compromise. Take your compromise and shove it! They will spend the next couple of years undoing everything you did that we didn’t want.

All you need to do, to disprove that absurd joke , is read the Maddow Blog commenters. You’d think that they just got all their news from Huffington Post .. Oh wait

One can only hope Ms Maddow’s insights are correct. Boehner should put up ObamaCare for a vote first thing. It will pass the House handily. If it can get a vote in the Senate, it will pass there, or else the 21 Democrats up for re-election will be on record – again – with being for it.

Sorry little guy/girl, the time compromise has expired and has no place in the election process. When voters get disgusted with the inexperience race baiting president and the do-nothing congress they get voted out! What part of this doesn’t Madcow understand? He/she truly will be shocked two years from now and she better get her resume ready because the liberal media will be ready for deportation.

Sara, please, my stomach hurts laughing at your absurd ideas. Seriously, pulling feces out of your rectum and throwing it at a comment box does not make for interesting dialog.

Hey Rach, this is the American people telling you libs that it’s YOU that must come to our side, NOT the other way around:

Republicans picked up 680 seats in state legislatures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures — the most in the modern era. To put that number in perspective: In the 1994 GOP wave, Republicans picked up 472 seats. The previous record was in the post-Watergate election of 1974, when Democrats picked up 628 seats.

pulling feces out of your rectum and throwing it at a comment box does not make for interesting dialog.

dude – chill the f*ck out. i am kidding.

anyone who criticizes obama is called a fear monger of a racist. get it?

Maddow is such a clown. Some people actually think she has something important to say. During one of her segments last night, she was babbling on about Republicans with a canned laugh track. It was so awful, it drowned out anything she had to say. She looked into the camera looking so butch and smug thinking she had such a clever device to make her point.

The male white liberal straight people are trying to do to the Gays and Lesbians what they did to african americans. The difference is that gays and straights do not walk in lockstep like other groups. We are more educated, more prosperous and don’t need the liberal left to make believe they are defending us. We don’t need them to defend us. We are like every successful hardworking american. We vote with our pocketbook. We don’t have a leader like jesse jackson or al sharpton. We don’t need leaders to tell us who to vote for. We also don’t need a farm league, failed radio host lesbian to be the face of gay people in the media. She is a waste of space. Not because she is gay but because she is stupid.

If the repubs had all these “good”ideas how come they didn’t help Americans 2 plus years ago?This as the days and weeks go by will be interesting.

As of this morning 6 Senate Seats, 61 House Seats, 7 Governorships, and an astounding 680 State Legislative Seat pickups. Yep, its time for the Republicans to compromise and move to the center. Only Progressives and idiots like Lindsey Grahamesty believe that. BTW Lindsey, YOU ARE NEXT.

They tried to help but the arrogance of Obama,Reid and Pelosi stopped them in their tracks. Not much you can do in the minority. They tried but the Dems found procedural roadblocks every step of the way. Healthcare would never have been passed without the game of deem and pass. The Dems couldn’t risk going back to the House so the Senate passed the bill the House passed earlier. The GOP almost stopped it but the Dems played fast and loose with the rules. That is what Tuesday was all about.

Afternoon character it is.

So your shift was over, King?

Really tired of this obstructionist nonsense. Imagine if you will that our next president is a Republican. Imagine that the very first legislative goal that he/ she has is to completely eliminate the welfare program. Obviously there wouldnt be a single Dem that would vote for it. Then lets say the next legislative goal is to completely put an end to workers unions, and end all future collective bargaining. Again, not a single Dem vote. If the Right were to then scream that Dem’s are all of a sudden this obstructionist “party of no” political body because they won’t support a far right agenda, then that would be equally as ridiculous as all of this current B.S.
Pres. Obama came into office with these grand moderate claims and post-partisan rhetoric, etc, etc. Ever since swearing in he has pushed an unwanted far left agenda, and his party screams newly invented buzz words at their opponents everytime the public rejects the Presidents far left ideology. It would be comical if it wasnt so sad that these people are running our country.
When is locking an entire party out of negotiations considered compromise, Rachel? You’re a real model of rationality.

Hey, King. Sometimes we’d do the chasing. We’d beat the hell out of them when we caught ‘em. I know you think assaults are funny, so laugh it up.

The more I read the right wing comments on here the more I realize that most of you making right wing comments either work for the Republican party in some way, work for FOX news, or have no insight into the way both parties operate because you limit yourselves to a single point of view.

To understand that this election was bought by the Chamber of Commerce and other outside entities should not be lost on anyone. All that money was thrown at the GOP and they are going to want to collect something for those contributions.

I was actually quite upset when all the numbers came in from the elections, but the next day I saw something that brought me back. Tamron Hall interviewing Michael Steele and asking him profoundly “Mr Steele, where are the jobs??” and Mr. Steele did what he usually does… He laughs, and then doesn’t answer the question. Some may argue to give him some time, but I argue that they should have had a plan in place for quite some time now.

FOX news may be happy with the answers “tax cuts and cut discretionary spending” but I’m not satisfied when it’s not explained to me and neither should anyone on the right.

Poor Rachel, and poor Glynnis too. This constant BS that republicans have been obstructionists is beyond absurd.

I can’t believe that Glynnis doesn’t have the courage in her article to shed some light on Rachel’s nonesense.

The dems have been in control of all three branches — they could have done any damn thing they wanted. They passed healthcare without any republican support, indeed the bipartisan vote was AGAINST it.

But hey, lets not let facts get in the way on spin on MSNBC (or mediaite for that matter).

Come on Glynnis, brain-up gal.

Sara N. Italy is correct in describing a system which is not the most efficient in Europe. No surprise there. However, even in the Italian system, any critical matter would have been addressed very quickly. Likely, a trip to the primary care giver would have been needed, followed by the necessary referral for many matters, but the average wait to see the primary giver even in Italy is less than five (5) days. This is just another one of those convenient lies Sara attaches to to further her victimization.

To understand that this election was bought by the Chamber of Commerce and other outside entities should not be lost on anyone. All that money was thrown at the GOP and they are going to want to collect something for those contributions. I was actually quite upset when all the numbers came in from the elections, but the next day I saw something that brought me back. Tamron Hall interviewing Michael Steele and asking him profoundly “Mr Steele, where are the jobs??” and Mr. Steele did what he usually does… He laughs, and then doesn’t answer the question. Some may argue to give him some time, but I argue that they should have had a plan in place for quite some time now. FOX news may be happy with the answers “tax cuts and cut discretionary spending” but I’m not satisfied when it’s not explained to me and neither should anyone on the right.

Steele isn’t the one to ask, it’s the Democrats and, especially Obama.

That is a lie.

Obama DID reach out and tried to appoint Republicans to his cabinet, only to get slapped down at every turn.

Obama INVITED ALL SIDES to a NATIONALLY TELEVISED DEBATE ON HEALTH CARE.

Again, he has always had his hand slapped down by the GOP (whose stated mission is to have him fail, even if that means viting “no” AGAINST THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY) and/or gets stabbed in the back whenever he genuinely reached across the aisle.

Obama INVITED ALL SIDES to a NATIONALLY TELEVISED DEBATE ON HEALTH CARE.

Damn right it was a stunt. When the susbstance of that proposed bill were being discussed and created, Obama back tracked on a repeated campaign promise to allow cspan cameras in during the entire process. That didnt happen. And how many “Democrats only!” meetings did he hold? I want to say at least 2 but I may be wrong. We all know about the one where he scolded one of his own hesitant party members with the threat ” Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother!”.

And how graciously was Bush treated by the ever non partisan noble democrats? No Child Left Behind, and the Guest Worker Program were sold middle ground compromises, yet he was trashed by democrats, no matter what he did, at every single turn.

shootfromthehip said:

Wow. After all the wrangling and BS tactics by the (D)’s you call that ‘reaching out’? Let me refresh your revisionist memory…..

Scott Brown ran on the platform of being ‘the 41st vote’…. he won. ONLY AFTER that did the Prez extend the invitation to the HC “Summit”. Geez SFTH, the friggin’ thing was supposed to have long since been passed by then. I guess you don’t recall all the damned deadlines that came and went in 2009.

shootfromthehip said:

lmao! What a joke!

and btw…. remember Sir Harry saying ‘Nobody is talking about RECONCILIATION except you guys’? I doubt you’ll recall that either but but but…. he said that in February and they passed it by RECONCILIATION (formerly known as ‘The Nuclear Option’) in March. The Prez said ‘that’s what elections are for’. Yup. It is.

What happened to all the promises? “You can keep your current policy” (R)’s said “Bullshit…. how are you gonna keep your current policy when your provider is driven out of business?” It was people like YOU SFTH who refused to listen. Every warning the (R) issued about that bill is coming to pass…. and the very same ignorant delusional idiots who insisted on that crappy bill are STILL denying the truth.

Not only that, they are trying to rewrite history that somehow this administration was inclusive in the process. But our memories aren’t like yours. We remember WTF happened and will for a long long time. You can keep trying to rewrite it if you wish but but but…. all you are doing is proving just how short your memory really is and just how much kool-aid you have consumed.

Delusional or just stoopid? We’ll see over the course of the next year.

AntiHyperbole had it EXACTLY right. The fact that you leftwingers think these policies were “moderate” shows just how moonbatty you really are. You actually drank the WH kool-aid and repeated the BIG LIE that that 2700 page catastrophe would actually “bend the cost curve down”. Go ahead, tell me again. I know you want to.

You can just add that to the long list of lies from that sad chapter of American History. Thankfully, we just turned the page.

Real Royal King, your comment earlier about Arizona deporting people is incorrect. The State of Arizona does not have deportation authority, only the Federal Government has this authority and responsibility.

Possibly you were making a poor ‘tongue in cheek’ reference to AZ SB1070. This law specifically states that persons detained and suspected and/or found to be in the US without proper documentation will be turned over to the appropriate US Government Agency (ICE) for disposition.

Just want to clarify this point since there is a lot of misinformation on SB1070 that has spewed and bantered about on this subject.

GBR went Bizarro World on the english language. A poster had written

“So what is it when Democrats say that Republicans want to take Grandma’s social security and make her eat dog food.”

to which GBR replied “The truth”
__________________

I called him out on that… comparing him to Alan Grayson for sinking that low. The next day he took me up on it and defended it but but but…… eventually he pulled the old ‘goalpost move’ and tried to rewrite what was clearly visible right there in the same thread. Meanwhile he managed to call me many things including deceitful/ liar as he tried to twist the english language….

GlennBeckReview said:
Make her eat dog food is not “want her” to eat dog food.
_________________________

to which I said ‘want to make her eat dog food’ means exactly what it says. And in that sentence…

“So what is it when Democrats say that Republicans want to take Grandma’s social security and make her eat dog food.”

… it’s clear that the poster was saying that ‘making Grandma eat dog food’ is EXACTLY what (D)’s say (R)’s ‘want’ to do.

GBR was quite clear in what he meant when he responded to the question with “The truth”. Not only that…. the point being made by the original poster about gutter rhetoric was ABUNDANTLY CLEAR so… for GBR to play semantics with ‘make’ and ‘want’ is ridiculous. Not only is it clear what his INTENTIONS were, he was unambiguous that he believes it is TRUE that republicans want to make Grandma eat dog food by taking away her social security.

Anyway, THAT’s why I called him out with the comparison to Grayson which eventually led to him …. at 2:59 PM today…. calling me ‘deceitful/ liar’ blah blah blah and questioning my integrity. I invite anybody who hasn’t already made up their mind about GBR to go have a look at his idea of ‘truth’.

Don’t skip the part where he calls for myself and NOTSOFAST to be banned while ignoring my question about some of the lefwing posters here who say much worse shit than we do. I’m sure i can find a few good nuggets on this very thread without even trying but but but ….. instead I’ll sum up the sentiment with one word….

And btw GBR….. next time you wanna lecture somebody about being ‘uninformed’ and sinking the discussions to ‘a primitive level’…. take a good look in the mirror and a glance at your side of the aisle.

Once again, someone making the argument that this is about FOX vs. MSNBC. If that’s all the people on this site are concerned with then just keep watching what you watch. I have no problem with what anyone watches. What I do have trouble with is our “elected” officials doing for their own interests and not the interests of the people that vote for them. Our entire political system is under the lash of money and favors. This is what needs to change. As far as i’m concerned, in the next election they should all be voted out and replaced. The only money our elected officials should take is their salary that is paid for by us.

Vote them out! The first law that should be made is no contributions to campaigns WHATSOEVER!! The airwaves are owned by the people. Campaigns should be publicly financed and every candidate should be given the same resources. Once that is done then you start on the rest. Taxes, healthcare, defense, energy, etc.

I always Knew that they awarded that dude a Rhodes scholarship fer Sumpin’ . And now I Know what that Sumpin’ Is.

The male white liberal straight people are trying to do to the Gays and Lesbians what they did to african americans. The difference is that gays and straights do not walk in lockstep like other groups. We are more educated, more prosperous and don’t need the liberal left to make believe they are defending us. We don’t need them to defend us. We are like every successful hardworking american. We vote with our pocketbook. We don’t have a leader like jesse jackson or al sharpton. We don’t need leaders to tell us who to vote for. We also don’t need a farm league, failed radio host lesbian to be the face of gay people in the media. She is a waste of space. Not because she is gay but because she is stupid.

That is a very offensive comment. African Americans, better than any other group in America, vote intelligently for their self interest. How much do you earn? You probably do not earn more than 250,000 or even 100,000 a year. The conservatives you support were the ones who bailed out the banks, support driving down the value of your labor by shipping American jobs overseas. African American voters vote much more intelligently than you do. They are not as gullible and unaware as you are. They do not believe the conservative hype. Wake up!

70% of black households are single parent. How’s all that liberal hype been working out, armwood? Black ‘leaders’ like Sharpton keep telling blacks they’re in a perpetual status of victimhood, so many figure, ‘What’s the point?’ But instead of ever daring to talk about personal responsibility, you preach more of the same, then wonder why things don’t get better.

White males are the ones screaming victimhood. Look at this forum. I see it here every day. All these males who complain about liberals instead of getting an education so we can compete with the rest of the world. No, they support people like Sarah Palin who is an idiot. Only an idiot would support her. Get an education, i am not talking about a simple BA or B.S. in business. Be serious. Study engineering, and technical skills so we will not have to depend on students from overseas. Guess what. They are not coming here as much as they used to as a result of policies of President Bush. Stop whining and get an education and build this country back in to a competitive powerhouse

I agree.

What some (liberal) people are forgetting is it is not incumbent on the Republicans to compromise one whit. The -0bamacare bill, and many other bills, were crafted behind closed doors. In other words, the Dimmicraps with their cavalier attitudes prevented anyone’s involvement but their own.

The Dimmicraps IGNORED the will of the people by cramming down their bailouts and –0bamacare bills down our throats in spite of our protest.

The people made a clear statement on 2 November 2010, and sided with the Republicans. Had the Republicans had better candidates, e.g. in Delaware, they would have wip the slate clean, but there’s more.

Now, it is the Republicans who’d damned well clean out their ears and listen to those who transferred power back to them. It’s either that, or a third party will emerge and dispose of both the pachyderms and the jack asses.

Republicans have lied about the health care bill from the beginning. There were no death panels. Those opposed to the bill should travel around the world and live in any developed country for a while. You will see how inferior our health care system is. to many Americans are arrogant and ignorant. Our system is horrible and expensive. I have lived under and used a single payer system which provided better health care for much less. Unfortunately to amy narrow minded and ignorant Americans buy the hype from the insurance company lobbyists.

OldGuy said:

You are wrong. A large part of the bill was written as entitlements. Evidently you never took the time to read the bill like many conservatives. Read it, you might learn something.

armwood said:

Are you implying that the liberals are so enlightened that the ignorant populace just doesn’t have the depth to understand all the good stuff they’re trying to do for us hustings? If so, you are wrong. You are DEAD wrong. There are some fundamental rules that do not require the mind of a physicist to understand, and the so-called “progressives” (RINOs included) have broken those rules. Here are some of the rules I’m talking about:

1. You can’t do business with people who have nothing to offer–all business relationships must be equitable for all parties.
2. Never reward bad behavior (e.g. bailouts and stimulii)
3. Never throw good money after bad (if a system or methodology does not produce favorable results, abandon it–the sooner the better.)
4. You cannot spend your way to prosperity (“invest” yes, “spend” no.)
5. Never consume more than you produce.
6. A “service-based” economy is a false economy–the US economy began to slide when we lost our manufacturing base; we lost it to over-regulation, labor unions, and draconian corporate taxes.

There’s more but you get the idea…I hope.

armwood said:
Republicans have lied about the health care bill from the beginning.

In a previous life, I wrote legislation. I was taught that the text of laws must be written in such a way that they cannot possibly be misinterpreted. I have only read about 500 pages of -0bamacare, but I can tell you that some parts of it can be interpreted in any of four ways! Death panels? No, not expressly stated, but that could be a valid interpretation of this law. The many ambiguities are one thing–the extraordinary costs of implementation are quite anoter.

Basic Keynesian economics has carried the western world for a very long time. It brought prosperity to America. Economic growth generates prosperity through the multiplier effect but I assume you already know this. Sometimes you have to engage in bailouts for the greater good. This bailout worked. The bailout of G.M. worked. These are facts know economist worth his salt would deny. G.M. is now making a profit. Be pragmatic, not ideological. Pragmatism is the American way. Do what works, no matter where the idea come from. You cannot immediately know whether a particular system is bad or good. Sometimes it just takes time. If we continue to be policeman of the world, and we will remain so to protect our worldwide economic interest we will spend more than we produce. This is reality, not a libertarian phantasy. I agree that a service based economy is not a solid economy but your blaming of unions is totally wrong. Right now we are being beaten by competitors who have strong unions. Look at Samsung. I have personally witnessed how strong Korean unions are in the 11th largest economy in the world with a population just under 50 million. We are falling behind because of education. Instead of business majors, the last resort of the lazy, we need engineers and scientists. Korea is number 1 in the world in science scores. We are falling behind because we have become complacent and lazy. Our education standards are below the rest of the world. Overall Finland is number 1. This is our problem. It is education. Getting a business B.A. is not enough. We need skilled PHD’s and engineers.

Obliviously you have never studied law, at least not at a top tier law school. Almost every single piece of complicated legislation can be interpreted many ways. That’s why we have lawyers, to fight over the interpretation of law. Ambiguity is the nature of law, “It depends on what the meaning of is is”.

Then, Gregg failed to keep his agreement. Greece was not an issue at the time. Must you be constantly, perpetually, chronically intellectually dishonest? Why must you and the truth always be distant relatives? I don’t understand this propensity you have for making up Krap.

First off understand that the “czar” term came to us during the Reagan era and it was really pushed during the Bush administration. It didn’t become a bad word until Obama took office.

Second, if you believe in social security, medicare, public schools and a national defense then you already believe in a socialism.

Then you’re saying “if it weren’t for lawyers, we wouldn’t need them.” I’m telling you that you are wrong. The reason why so many laws are written with ambiguity is because of the people who write them.

Keynes was flawed. He made the assumption that one can spend more money than they have–operate indefinitely on a deficit–and I believe you would agree (if you have an ounce of logic within you) that an individual, entity, or nation cannot operate indefinitely on less revenue than they take in. Deficit spending is basically robbing from the future.

Freidman (and later Hayek) had it right; you can’t spend your way to prosperity, or break any of the fundamental economic rules I provided for you above. If you can show me where these premises are wrong, I would like to see your argument.

Probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever said. Progressivism and libertarianism are diametrically opposed to one another. Completely opposite sides of the political spectrum.

Yep, that’s pretty dumb alright, but you’re dealing with a poor failure of a human being, sitting alone in his parent’s basement in his underwear, munching on Cheetos all day, and never allowing himself to get out into the sunlight. He is obsessed with Glenn Beck–no doubt some sort of sick envy–and he’s trying to make a few bucks by getting people to click on his moronic website. Yes, I clicked ONCE and my pop-up blocker caught 3 pop-ups. I also received TWO tracking cookies that Norton obliterated.

DON’T CLICK ON THIS FOOL’S LINKS. YOUR COMPUTER MAY GET A VIRUS!!!!!

Something that Obama’s team apparently didn’t know heading in

Republicans won’t bend whatsoever at the moment nor in the future

The more Democrats understand that and move forward KNOWING IT and DEALING with it, the better

If Republicans want to stand in the way…let them and they will take heat for it
