16. Yup. They know the 80-20 is coming and they can't stop it
Sat Jun 22, 2013, 04:20 AM
Jun 2013

the 20 are what is happening when the extremists walk around a circle and meet on the other side

then they scream and shout and think that just because the 80 isn't creating a lot of noise, it means they are correct

However, it reminds me of Alien. In space no one can hear them scream
In the echo chamber on that side of the circle where they collided into each other, no one can hear them scream

because

sorry to disappoint them, the sky isn't falling

and when the Fed says that the economy is going good and they won't need to prop it up, so the investors take their money and run,

that actually means good times are here again

though they don't want to hear it

so they jump up and down and scream and yell and shout

but all they are doing is insuring the 80-20 shall be here even quicker than imagined.

The one thing the 20 have done is lost me forever. I just now listen and hear, but I don't put any credence into it

because they have fooled me once, and I won't get fooled again

(and every mantra they use, the 1% crap and the other stuff, well, back at them

(hey, like that congressman they profess to love-do they realize he once ran a megabigmoney wall street firm and is perhaps
one of the richest of the richest, and that TWICE he voted with Ron Paul for austerity.
(hey, isn't their meme no austerity and hate the 1% and the rich and those TOP 100 corporations.
Is it they don't know that? Or is it something else???

I am not quite sure which it is

but in space, on the other side of the circle, no one can hear the 20 and their screams

The 80-20 is a reality, they are scared of it, they know what is in store in 2016(both in the congress and general) and its an unstoppable train

(we got our revolution, it was peaceful, and it was on 1/17/2009.
Why the hell would I want to give that up?
BECAUSE I DON'T.

Unless one wants to go back to the BushPaulfamilyinc I guess.

You know, they say there are more than two choices.
No.
It's like a coin. There are either heads or tails. There is NO 3rd choice.
Like true or false tests. there is NO third choice.

Sorry, but they lost me when they started their whines on 1/17/2009, before even one minute of the President's term began.
In fact not only did they lose me, they never had me in the first place.

I got Barack Obama's back.
And in a zillion trillion years, I would NEVER stand with Rand or Ron Paul.

Why would I stand with someone I can't stand?
