We\u2019re dealing here with a serious form of corruption, manipulation of data; but, we all knew it was coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Somebody tell me what is wrong with wanting to teach somebody the concept of work and being paid for it. What\u2019s wrong with it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The job universe from January, 2009 when Obama was immaculated to the present is down about 2.5 million jobs. There are 2.5 million fewer jobs in our country in the two and a half, almost three years now, that Obama has been in orifice &#8212; and that\u2019s the dirty little secret.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What has been going on in this country since 2008 is not capitalism. Capitalism is not responsible for what\u2019s happened to this country since 2008. Barack Obama is. Capitalism does not need to be defended. Capitalism is not responsible for all of this unemployment and economic degradation. Capitalism has not been tried the last three years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are we sending kids to college if work is such a tainted concept? We\u2019re sending them to college for indoctrination. We\u2019re educating then with worthless degrees. They come out not knowing how to do anything, and they blame people who have gone a different route.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coca-Cola, for the holiday season, changed the color of the can to white to ostensibly help the polar bears? It bombed. It bombed out, and they\u2019re going back to red cans next week. You don\u2019t see us at Two If By Tea doing phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 roller crap like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Oprah were that popular, why didn\u2019t her audience follow her wherever she went and find her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When people go political, then they become fair game on this program, pure and simple. Doesn\u2019t matter. You go political, and you are in the arena, then we are gonna comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, when I was young I said, &#8216;I\u2019m never gonna grow up and be an old fogy, and I\u2019m never gonna say, &#8216;When I was young, I walked to school in ten feet of snow with no shoes!\u2019 I\u2019m not gonna do that like my parents,\u2019 but I have to. I\u2019m sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Work in the old days was something honorable. To want to get a job&#8230; I shined shoes when I was 13. That was my first job. I made $50 in three months shining shoes at a barber shop, and my dad was beside himself with pride. He was excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you suggest something genuinely helpful and educational to people, to poor kids especially, you get castigated. You get raked across the coals for insensitivity, cold-heartedness, extremism, heartlessness, all of those other adjectives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who cares what Democrats say? Democrats are the problem. Work is not the problem! Lack of jobs is the problem brought to us by the Democrats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m still learning to accept compliments myself. Sometimes it\u2019s very tough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What is there to debate about education or the environment? &#8216;The environment\u2019 is a setup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look at Occupy Wall Street, look at who they\u2019re mad at. They\u2019re mad at the people that build things, they\u2019re mad at the people that accomplish things, they\u2019re mad at the people that achieve things, and think those people somehow ought to be made to give it all up. When it used to be that those were the people that were admired.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;See, I think when you\u2019re talking about driving and virginity, it seems to me that parking is what leads to no more virgins, not driving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We at Two If By Tea, we don\u2019t do any of that. We don\u2019t insult the intelligence of our consumers. We\u2019re not hipsters and we\u2019re not trendy in the sense that we try to tie into fads; we create the fads, if there\u2019s any fad going on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If at the end of the day here we are not gonna compare and contrast our beliefs with Obama\u2019s and the left\u2019s, then when will we? At some point we\u2019ve gotta stand up for who we are!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have articles out there all over the place today in the conservative world again about Newt and Cain and how horrible they are. We don\u2019t have any stories anywhere about how bad Obama is, how bad Obama has been. We don\u2019t have any story about how bad Pelosi and Reid or any of that is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our problem isn\u2019t that there\u2019s too little government. Our problem is that there\u2019s WAAAAAAAAAY too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is one true conservative voice that does not waver in Washington. It would be mine if I was there, but I\u2019m not. It\u2019s the Heritage Foundation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;More people left the workforce than got jobs, and the unemployment rate goes down?
