Written on Letter: Nation's collapse will be hard way to shed socialism:

"Simply not true. Obama has come up with cuts over the next decade that would not harm the economy. He presented plans that would cut the debt considerably over the next decade, while taking into account the state of the economy.

BTW, in real dollars, discretionary spending is lower than in 2008. Just thought I would toss that out."

Why would you toss that little thought out there for? Also, please tell me about those decade long cuts and how they will not hurt. Yet he likes to claim them as fully cut from the budget for RIGHT now, instead of by 1/10th? Please go and check your facts about the bogus numbers he threw around during his SOTU. He is a liar, and has no idea how to run the country except by threatening, and doing the liberal thing they all do, scare people in to a knee jerk reaction! The day when liberals start taking blame for making us an entitlement country, is the day I believe what a Democrat has to offer for us in the most powerful country in the world!

Here is an anology for you: To live my overhead is $10,000/yr. My contract is to get paid $100k over the next 10 years, which means I would get paid $10,000/yr, I better hope the value of money raises and inflation is less than .00000000000000000001%, to survive. This analogy is brought to you to show that the cuts for a decade mean nothing, becasue they can be manipulated later on down the road!

Written on Letter: Obama's presidency has been a disgrace :

My question to the citizens voting for Obama is: in 4 years what has Obama and admin. put in place, that was not already started by the prior admin.? GM bailout/banruptcy, virtually the same thing, was started by GW, not Obama. And by the way GM is not the entire auto industry, maybe 15% of it at it's best! Obamacare is about the only thing I can honestly say he did, and this bill is so confusing and legnthy that no one has one way of interpreting it! Everyone blames Congress, funny he got Obamacare through even if it was the last thing he did, why could he not get through anything else? He supported now defunked and bankrupt "green" businesses, for what? He stopped the Keystone Pipeline, why, he promised less foreign oil. You know how to make people believe we are less reliant, you make the price so high that people cannot afford it, and then we have less being imported, hmmm. Obama is an unproven amateur of a leader and he needs to go and get some training in the private sector, where OUR country will prosper. Obama's overall plan as a Marxist, like his father, is for the government to give us everything we need, not want, and tax everyone up to 100%! He increasd spending to fog the economy, at $16trillion in debt our country and economic power in the world will collapse. If Obama is re-elected, the Mayans may have been right about 12/21/2012!

Written on Letter: Obama's presidency has been a disgrace :

Colin Powell was the main person getting the WMD talks going about Iraq, so to say this is racism, please look in the mirror. I am not voting for Obama because of his lack of leadership and his inability to get bills signed.....wait, just wait....he got Obamacare passed, correct? How did he get Obamacare passed without the majority or support of Congress? Because he MADE it happen, and all of the other bills were just continued from Bush. I am a Democrat and am ashamed at how the party has constantly wanted to point the finger at someone else, especially about the Libya situation.

Socialism works until there is no more money coming in to pay for it! Margaret Thatcher... Obama's health care reform is a joke. You will no longer be denied care or higher premiums based upon prior conditions....How will this be enforced, you check a box whether they can look at your prior, if you check it and you are good to go, Rate $A is issued, if you do not check the box, Rate $B, 5 times rate $A, will be issued!

Written on Treasure Coast construction leaders worry about number of available skilled tradesmen when economy picks up:

I have one easy solution, if they are truly worried....start giving government contracts to companies that use and hire local subcontractors and that are from the treasure coast!

Written on ERIC HASERT/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS Steve Mortier, of Industrial Flooring in Palm Bay, installs fl:

How awesome this picture is, a Brevard county company installing flooring into an Indian River County school, paid for by Indian river county tax payers. This is how Proctor works, and they do all county work because they have the admin in their pockets. Proctor is the last one allowed to submit their bids for all county projects!

Written on The Indian River County Sheriff's Office closed down a marijuana grow house in Vero Lake Estates:

BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely magnificent site, too bad the law can not respect the peacefulness of cannabis! The government has turned marijuana into a bad drug, it has ill side-effects, NONE!

Written on Pair buy Bodega Blue Artisan Cheese shop in downtown Vero Beach :

in response to bobbiesocks:

We went to one of the blues shows. My wife had white wine. Four glasses later we were charged $48 for the wine. Twice what this story says for a bottle. Enough said.

What type of white wine, bttles started at $25? Plus 5 glasses of wine would equal $9/glass plus tax, like I said before, what type of wine....ENOUGH SAID!

"No. I'm going to Oregon (Thursday) to see a game, Oregon vs. Arizona State. One of these teams loses and they're out of it. Every game during the season is important. That's why I like it."

What a great way to put it, this is the best argument the other way I have heard!

Written on Letter: Those tearing down Christianity won't demoralize Christians like me :

Here is a few examples of hypocrisy, why can somethings change with times and others can not:












Written on Indian River taxpayers spend $10,000 to send local leaders to Orlando conference | Poll:

Pretty sure the amount they spent would be tax deductible, so the money was going to be paid by the government anyways!

Written on Sept. 11: Economy downsizes post-Sept. 11 law enforcement buildup on Treasure Coast:

I have a great idea....Let's tell the media every possible vulnerability we have for terrorists to strike and hurt Us. This way the terrorist networks will have an easier time of planning and strategizing where and when they want to take care of the American's. Seriously media and government, think before you write stuff!

Written on N.Y. Mets trying to get second MLB team to move spring training to Port St. Lucie | Video:

in response to DoubleG:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Did you put that hypothesis together all by yourself? Hence the name jackleg, I hate the elitist attitude as much as the next person, but you know what, it keeps me safe and happy at night. I was in no way shape or form trying to claim to be rich, so posing, don't think so. I think this world is full of materialistic ideologies and it is sickening. I was just meerly trying to point out how bad the crime rate is St. Lucie county, and how they are even thinking about trying to attract another MLB team to the ghetto. Thank you for your comment though!


Vero "was" the root of spring training, so to all you St. Crackcie people, who cares! Enjoy baseball while you still have to watch over your shoulder once the sun goes down, everywhere in your crackhead filled county! Where do your tax dollars come from to coax another team?????

Written on Russ Lemmon: Lynn Elliott's parents forever united in wanting to see Gore executed | Video :

Cruel and unusual punishment? When you die, you die....By that I mean, do you really think you remember if your death was painful or not? You could torture him to death and the result would be the same, he would be dead, not that torture is acceptable, just saying!

Written on Letter: Casey Anthony jurors did not understand what their duty was :

Does anyone know the stats of the amount of people that are proven innocent when they have already been convicted by a jury of their peers? The morality of this country is disgusting anyways, people want a death for a death, not the way it was intended to be. Also, this case was played out in front of the media, the same people that breed fear and fear only in everybody that watches. Nancy Grace is a narcisistic disgrace of flesh, that woman is like the wicked witch of the west, and one day someone is going to throw water on her, and she will burn!

The prosecution went for the home run and unfortunately struck out! No matter what the outcome, Casey will never have a normal life, no matter if she makes money off of this or not. People need to get back to realtiy and realize thast money does not make happiness, loved ones do, so in her case, she has no more loved ones. I could give her a billion dollars and she will still never be happy, justice is being served!

Written on Ray McNulty: World Cup overtime misses its mark:

Hey McNulty, try writing about a sport you actually know something about, or atleast research about! Futbol is the most popular sport in the world, and has been played the same way for centuries. Here is another way to play it, play for as long as it takes to score a goal for someone to win, could you imagine? A certain amount of time is given to see who can score the most or any in that time period, simple. Also the stoppage time rule should be changed to a clock that can be stopped by the referee, that is the only thing I would change, but it's still not a big deal if it does not change.

Written on Letter: The King James Bible celebrates 400th anniversary :

in response to truthiztruth7:

PLease provide the evidence showing where and how new species evolved on a number of ocassions. PLease provide any evidence showing that the process of evolution has caused one type of thing to become another. You are arrogant to assume you know how I will view a thing, or anything else about me for that matter. Stick to the argument and refrain from personal insult please. Evolution remains a theory, as it has not been proven using the scientific method

Here you go: found this in 10 seconds on the web....

Written on Letter: The King James Bible celebrates 400th anniversary :

in response to truthiztruth7:

You lack proof or evidence for your claims and accusations. You are willfully ignorant of the subject by your own admission. You are hostile to those who hold to faith, as evidenced by your numerous posts. You have prejudged any evidence presented. In place of argument, you provide insults and mere opinion. You have judged in your own heart that there is no God, and have stated as much. The scriptures you reject call you a fool. Ps 14:1. You are in danger of judgement from the God you reject

And the bible does not tell people to judge other people based on their faith? Seriously the Christian religion is based on hypocrisy, and was founded by people like our current government here in the U.S. HAve faith all you want, just don't force it into other peoples faces, or try to "damn" people to hell for not believing your beliefs! The bible is a book, and has obviously been interpreted in many different ways, so ease off the I am a better person than you, because I believe some guy hundreds of years ago hung on a cross for me and then rose from the dead and help build a huge arc, but not before 2 humans ate an apple and had inbred kids that killed eachother before they lived for 400 years.....

Written on Man, 19, found not guilty in shooting death outside Fort Pierce club :

in response to redmemo:

"300 people saw what happened and nobody wanted to come foward."

Apparently you're not aware that about 20 people came forward.

"This is why Ft. Pierce is and always will be a s*it hole."

Since this statement is based on your incorrect prior statement, it means they're both wrong.

"you can not complain if you are one of the people who are too afraid to come forward."

Again, people DID come forward. Often times, when they don't it's because police can be just as dangerous as the thugs; shoot first, ask later.

"if all the state can offer as evidence, is the word of career felons, who are testifying to reduce their own sentences.... right verdict!!"

It's good to see some non-prejudicial common sense. Hopefully, you're not the only one.

You watch way too much TV and movies, there are not corrupt cops everywhere! The fact of the matter is everyone in "da hood" wants to make their problems everyone elses, and it's sad because that is how the "government" is raising these young folks! Move out the area, stop living off the gov't cheese, and start taking resposibility for yourselves! Also people not coming forward is the biggest dillemma at hand, how many people get shot and killed for ratting, seriously, very few if any, instead the homie that got shot has homie's and they go out and retaliate and someone innocent gets caught in the crossfire! Until people step up and take resposibility for themselves and there neighborhoods, these areas of crime will never change!

Written on 'Sleeping' St. Lucie deputy disciplined for arriving late for nuclear plant security detail :

in response to SLW_RESIDENT:

Good catch, JoeV. I was thinking the same thing.

Asked why she would cancel a detail less than five hours before it started and assume she was relieved of responsibility, she said, "I genuinely didn't feel like working. I'm known for canceling details. People back up my details all the time for that reason."

What is really disgusting about this deputy is that she is proud of the fact that she is unreliable and her word means nothing.

Also disgusting is the attitude of a portion law enforcement and it's supporters who go out of their way to support anyone wearing the uniform, even when the deputies actions are wrong.

SLW_resident....You thought the same wrong thing, congratulations!


JoeV.....She called a fellow officer that was in the "area" to cover for her while she drove in, how long, it doesn't say.

It is crazy how high of standards we hold our officers too, but pay them Sh&T, if it is such a cake job everyone would do it! These people put their lives at risk to protect us, occasionally they slip up, as all people do!


Seriously, none of you glass house people ever called in sick or overslept before! She was atleast honest and didn't try to "Weiner" her way out of it somehow!

Written on Remains of woman missing two years found off U.S. 441:

I would love to hear the rational behind this comment!!!!!Please, oh please enlighten me with your take on a statement of this caliber?

Let me guess the government concocted the whole 9/11 tragedy as well, right?

Give me one valid reason fro them to fake all of this to the "WORLD"!


in response to allseeingeye:

Yes garbage... but one way to God. Nothing else.

Says the true bigot and ignoramus! It is ignorant to think that you are inferior to someone raised in a different religious household. God would not put stipulations on who is in and who is out! If he were so merciless and powerful then why does everything have to be based on faith! Why not show up every 10 years and say, "hey, don't forget about me"?

With how unbelievably unfair the world is to 3rd world and war-ridden countries, how can you truly bel;ieve the only way to heaven is through someone these people have probably never even heard of? Let alone the fact that these people see things we can't even imagine on a daily basis, they are just suppose to believe that some God created this hell on earth for them to still want and go see Him, but the only way to get there is to believe in some guy in some book!


I would love for you to show me a nation in this world where you can live with your mentioned beliefs and not have to fight to receive them! This country fought like dogs to free themselves to have the right to have religious freedom, go move somewhere else if you do not believe i what the government has to do daily to keep our freedoms from being attacked! I still question Jesus being the savior, so according to you I am going to Hell for not accepting Jesus as my savior, talk about judgement being passed!

My beliefs are that people have to fight for what they believe in, and unfortunately there are some pretty disgusting people in this world that want to attack us for who we are, so we have to be offensive in times that call for us too!

You mentioned Hitler, funny, you would have been one of the ones turning the other cheek batting a blind eye at what was happening when millions of people were dying, Jesus would have wanted you to fight for his people and save them from this type of person, as the USA and other countries did but you would rather accept what was going on and look the other way! To me you are a coward who hides behind a belief of turn the other cheek!


You are the reason the Christian faith is so screwed up, psycho! This man, UBL, that was to be left alone commanded other men to commmit suicide and kill innocent people, the President, being a man of faith, was asking for guidance on this decision, and hopefully forgiveness. Isn't that what the Christian faith is about, make a bad decision and then ask for forgiveness and accept him into your heart!

Written on School district ready to break ground for new Vero Beach Elementary School :

I want a list of all of the sub-contractors that Protor uses on this project, but probably will not get them! How is it that Proctor gets all of the county and government projects in IRC? Yet they, yes I know this, get over 70% of their sub-work done by people outside the county. This is something that needs to be addressed, and don't tell me it's smart business, that is your tax dollars going to use in another county or in some cases, other states! I want to see every bid that was submitted, and the numbers, but yet again that is not for the public to see either, hmmmmmmmmm?

Written on Publix Super Markets issues new policy on coupons :

My wife uses the mommy secret coupon....crest white strips $10 off works for pampers diapers as well, uses the same UPC code, and unitl they fix that problem plenty of places will still take it. Felt guilty at first, but then realized it was Proctor and Gamble giving the coupons, which means the multi-billion dollar company is supporting struggling mothers and may or may not know about it! Guess we will not be using that coupon at Publix anymore!

Written on Vero Beach worship leader, 27, accused of having sex with teenage parishioner:

I will be willing to bet his plea deal is less than 11 years, why? Because she was 17 which can be a difference of hours or months but the law states "16" and "17" as being more punishable by! Her parents told him to stop, how many times? And why did they hesitate to press charges the first report and have to be convinced to do so? This will be a case that the county will try to keep out of the public eye, because they don't want it to be compared to the Harvey case!

Written on Bill requiring drug testing of welfare recipients passes House :

in response to RussK:

>They will be the ones affected by this.

For now. Later you and I will be affected by this. I understand and agree there is a problem but losing the rights that the 4th amendment give all of us is not the answer.

This is the kind of thing that will lead to everybody having to get a drug test before you renew your drivers license. Perhaps that is the point of this. I dont like Rick Scott or most of our our Florida govenment but I dont think they are stupid. They know exactly what they are doing, they are trying to take away YOUR rights and make you feel good about it.

There are better ways to deal with this problem without violating or degrading our constitution. Ill give some examples:

1. Require people getting welfare to turn in receipts from last month to get their check next month. Drug dealers dont give receipts.

2. Dont give checks, just debit cards that you are unable to get cash from. Make the penalties bad for laundering money for card holders and give a permanent ban on anyone convicted of using a workaround to get getting cash with one of the debt cards.

3. Take lobster and birthday cakes off of the approved list.

At least the first two ideas above would probably do a way better job making sure the money is not spent on drugs than drug testing these people.

Our Florida government can probably come up with better ideas than I just did but that is not their point. THEY ARE TRYING TO ERODE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS!

ONCE AGAIN A DRIVER'S LICENSE IS A PRIVILEDGE NOT A RIGHT! And for this they can require you to do whatever they want to get one. You most certainly have to give a piss/blood test on command if the law wants you to. So it is already legal to require a urine, blood, or breath test when asked, or you lose your driving PRIVILEDGES for 1 year, no questions asked. Kinda funny how nobody raises helll about this stipulation of a driver's license PRIVILEDGE!

Written on Bill requiring drug testing of welfare recipients passes House :

in response to jasonkozdra:

The danger in this law is in how it is going to be expanded to further deprive Florida citizens of their liberties.

Why don't you go all the way and say we should just test every Floridian? Hey, illegal drugs are illegal drugs, whether you can pay for them out of your own earnings or not, right?

The government regulates everything else, why not your nervous system?

Jason....Your thoughts are exactly why people are raised to learn how to work the government, why work? If you go about your business everyday, pay your taxes, harm no one, then you can complain if the government wants to require you to do something. As a person receiving benefits from the government, wouldn't you agree they should lose some priviledges, seriously, or should they be given more priviledges than the person that is paying for THEIR downfalls, i.e. taxes?

Written on Bill requiring drug testing of welfare recipients passes House :

in response to RussK:

the 4th amendment:

Just because it feels good does not mean it is the right thing to do. Those of you that think this is a good idea need to remember this moment when you are waiting in line for your drug test to get your drivers license renewed...

You cant really argue that drug testing welfare people to mostly save money is "reasonable" and drug testing everybody that drives to save 1000s of lives every year is "unreasonable" can you?

Do we really want to throw out the rights that make this country great?

We are in very sad times...

Sorry to say but a driver's license is a priviledge, not a RIGHT! Just like receiveing benefits from the government, these are all priviledges not right's. Our country is one big enabler, and it will be the downfall of one of the greatest countries ever on the planet! Our country has forgotten what are "rights" and what are "priviledges", this line has been skewed way too long, and this is a great start in the right direction.
