Pelosi Goes Ballistic: Republicans Using Deficit Reduction To “Destroy” The Government, “Destroy Your Rights”…

Isn’t this the same woman who cried during a press conference claiming she was worried overheated rhetoric could lead to violence?

(TPM) — Speaking to a crowd of union workers on Capitol Hill today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi unloaded on Republican plans to lower the deficit through deep cuts to government services in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. Frustrations are running high in Congress with the default deadline rapidly approaching, and Pelosi spoke with a fire that suggested the endless debate over the debt ceiling is taking its toll on her patience.

“This isn’t just about them saying we should reduce the deficit,” she said, adding: “This is an excuse. The budget deficit is an excuse for the Republicans to undermine government plain and simple. They don’t just want to make cuts, they want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the department of education. They want to destroy your rights.”. . .

“We all want to be fiscally sound,” she said. “We don’t want to do harm to our economic growth but we know that if we can save some money, we’d like to do that.”

The Republicans, Pelosi said, her voice rising, have something very different in mind.

“They do not like the government,” Pelosi said. “They’re riding an engine of popular support for, ok we have to reduce the deficit. And they’re using that to destroy.”

“The Speaker has said that between him and the president they have a different vision of America and that’s how come their budget proposals are different,” she sad. “Quite different. . . We get the sacrifice, they get the wealth.”

    Rights are those things that God gave us.

    Entitlements are what government gave us. (and they can take them away)

    —“They do not like the government,” Pelosi said. “They’re riding an engine of popular support for, ok we have to reduce the deficit. And they’re using that to destroy.”—

    Wow, she trips by telling the truth, and immediately covers it up with a lie.

    She was issuing talking points to the great rabble nation who are her constituents. Notice since JEF asked them to call their Reps to let em know you want a B/A, a compromise. So while one half of us work, the other half flood the switchboards.

    “They get the wealth” ? I don’t have any vinyards behind my 1500 sq. ft. mansion here. She is so full of shit, using poor people as an excuse to get money sent to her and her buddies in the criminal agencies. We need to cut about 50% of the federal workforce and then look it over again. The biggest savings could be accomplished by putting Nancy out on the ice. She’s a big negative.

    gastorgrab nailed it in comment one. These liberals cling to entitlements as if they are rights, when they are absolutely not. Meanwhile, we rational folk cling to those rights that are specifically mentioned in the Constitution.

  7. gastorgrab says:
    July 26, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

    ——–

    Rights are those things that everyone has until some asshole politician takes them away. Health Care for instance, cannot possibly be a right in the United States because on 92% of people are covered (according to liberal claims) by ObamaCare.

    *The actual amount of coverage is much less.

    I understand the need to care for the truly needy, so perhaps it is 35% of our contrymen who are bums.

    It’s not a right if government can take it away, that would be a privelege.

    NO LIAR PELOSI. YOU’RE THE DESTROYER!!!!

    They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the department of education. They want to destroy your rights.”

    YOU’RE DESTROYING OUR ENERGY PRODUCTION, FISHING, AND EDUCATION. YOU INDOCTRINATE, YOU DON’T EDUCATE!!!!

    THESE AREN’T RIGHTS, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINES. NOWHERE DOES IT SAY YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, OR EDUCATION!!!!

    And what about the coal miner who lost his job due to your fantasy of ruining the environment by mining, or the oil rig worker who lost his job because of your fantasy that drilling for our own God given natural resources causes the oceans to be ruined. What about the people who want more education choice and can’t get it because of your money laundering with the NEA? SHUT UP LIARS!!!!

    If government is the source of all our rights, then yes, they can take them away as easily as they make them.

    You have the right to be born with a $250,000 debt attached to your ankle. You have the right to suffer the same as everyone else is. Those are some rights.

    Yes Nancy, a blank check is essential to maintaining a Big Government Welfare State.

    But why is a Big Government Welfare State necessary? (especially since it doesn’t work)

    well at least she admitted the policy that the republicans are putting forth have “popular support”, isn’t that the point of a democracy?, have your democratically elected representative represent your views in office, the people have spoken ms Pelosi, we can’t all be like Obama and “wish we could pass laws without congress or the house”, not that that has stopped him so far..

  21. Deputy Dawg says:
    July 26, 2011 at 6:06 pm

    This is actually quite instructive of how liberals think. In Nancy’s head, government giveaways are “rights,” and ANY reduction of government is defined as a “destruction” of government.

    It’s ON. This is about derailing the Democrats’ dream of subjugating the American people to Government. Pure and Simple. Freedom vs. Stateism / Socialism / Communism / Fascism.

    Is it me or don’t the Democrats look desperate and hysterical the last few days?

  25. Frosteetoes says:

    @ GRIZZ LOL I saw that too!

    These liberals are on the offensive now with a smear campaign. They are getting their orders from the whiny b*tch Obama. They know his approval rating is going down the sh*tter and they are desperate. If the election were held today my cat would win over Obama.

    Just think, without ObamaCare we would have at least a trillion dollars of leeway to work with right now.

    Without this MASSIVE CHANGE IN OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

    That CHANGE is what Democrats are trying to secure. To consolidate their take-over in the very type of government we live under, they have to make everyone else pay for the changes they made.

    Lets go to a parlimentary for of government, vote a “no confidence” in this goat rodeo in DC, collapase it, fire them all and start fresh.

    I swear, there is not a “public servant” in the bunch – just a crowd of classless, out of touch elites.

    Either that or *require* them to do a solid 30 days of town halls in their home states/districts – all open to the public. There would be no shortage of pie throwing.

    She is so practiced in her speech, her hand movements, her delivery. For that reason alone she is untrustworthy. Lying through her teeth doesn’t strengthen her image much either. PLEASE GO AWAY NANCY. WE ALL WANT A REST FROM YOUR RHETORIC. HAVE A CHARDONNAY OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU PRODUCE IN YOUR VINEYARD AND TAKE A CHILL PILL.

    Way, way, too much ‘erb smoke in the air in California. Those west coasters must be stoned or just plain stupid to keep voting that skankopotomus pelosi into office.

    Let us do the math. Pelosi’s wealth increased 50% from 14 million to 28 million in 2011. How could that be? I thought liberal’s didn’t partake in the capitalistic system? Is this woman a hypocrite?

  46. SandyfromChesterfield says:
    July 26, 2011 at 9:29 pm

    Why is she speaking like that? She is lying so much it is making her teeth loose or something. Maybe she had too much botox. Something is making her mouth not work and it is effecting her speech.

    ‘Pelosi spoke with a fire that suggested the endless debate over the debt ceiling is taking its toll on her patience.’

    IT’S BEEN TAKING A TOLL ON AMERICANS FOR 2.5 YEARS NOW. AND OUR FIRE HASN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO A BLAZING POINT YET. I’m so sick and tired of politicians scolding and showing anger at me, the citizen. AND I’M FED UP WITH IT. YOU WORK FOR ME; YOU DON’T SCARE ME; AND I’M TIRED OF YOUR ARROGANCE AND THREATS. Off my soapbox, but not for too damned long.
