1) I agree that the name time-honored name “George” has taken a beating over the past 7 and a half years. I’m guessing that the above writer does not hold in disdain ALL Georges, esp. George Will and George Harris.

2) Yes, I like bosoms.

3) I did not argue on this site in favor of more spending of any kind. The only point I made is that I hoped to soon see the revenue figures so the public can understand both sides of the equation in analyzing our current fiscal mess. Lo and behold, those numbers have now been made public. The amounts collected from our two primary sources of government moolah are way way down, as we all know.

4) The only point I was making about the Big Lie strategy is that the original poster above was wrong in assigning its origin to liberals. Goebbels wasn’t a liberal. I agree that politicians of many different stripes have used the tactics in the years since the Nazis invented it.

5) Senator, I invite you and your readers to check out the program “Crossfire: Water Power and Politics” which will air Sunday April 20th at 4 pm. This is a harder-hitting version of the show we produced and aired last month. If your readers are really concerned about excessive government spending –and I know they are— they will certainly want to learn more about what will be the largest and most expensive public works projects in Nevada history—the water grab—a proposal that will likely devastate a huge chunk of our rural counties and could cost in excess of $10 billion. As Sen. Beers has noted publicly, there are cheaper and safer ways to achieve the same results but our water officials don’t want to talk about the options.

Yours in Puppet-dom,

GK

It matters not where the money comes from, the politicians enslave the citizens more as they tax and spend more. It does not matter on what or where the money comes from (especailly to them), just that they have control. The citizens are responsible to stop it and if they do not: well, just give it a few more years here in America and you will see, just as the French saw when they were told to “eat cake”.

To Helen: Vouchers are a “feel-good” way to convert private schools to Politician-controlled schools. They simply take your money, give it back to you (or someone else), and place the same inane rules on the private schools as they have on their own schools. We have all seen the results of this maneuver. Private schools would be smart not to accept these restrictions, but “free money” seems to be a powerful drug. Most will probably not be able to resist. Those that do will probably be legislated into accepting, just like the “free money” health care. I would hope that we are not that naive….then, again, look who we pick to control us.

Bruce is right. While George Knapp buries his head in the bosoms of the weak-minded, our politicians simply press forward with their money-funded “public service”. Puppets on a string, jumping to the tune of their handlers. You have to start seeing the Georges of the world for what they are…and you will…..one way or another.

Here’s a statistic I’d like to see as part of this discussion—the actual numbers generated by sales and gaming taxes. How much money was coming into the state, say, 8 months ago from those two sources, and how do those figures compare to what’s coming in now? That would seem to be one legitimate way to evaluate how or state got to this point. I’m not being a smart-ass here and do not have the numbers but am betting Sen. Beers has the figures memorized by now.

Also, I’m pretty sure the Big Lie strategy described above by Mr. Gliddon was originally proposed and perfected by Joseph Goebbels. My memory isn’t as good as it used to be, but I’m resonably confident that Minister of propaganda Goebbels was not a liberal.

Look at the Presidential campaign. Hillary is doing it and Obama, a quick study is ON THE TRAIN!
