The Most Ignorant Line in the History of Man

[Jarhead]

"If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Spoken by someone who clearly never built anything.

It's easy to take a statement like that, standing alone, seem like something it was never intended to represent. But when the full context is revealed, so is the truth.

Here is the quote in its full context"

"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that [the roads and bridges]. Somebody else made that happen."

Some folks might think you don't know what the phuck you're talking about. But, hey, I know you must not have done due diligence and checked that out properly, right? You wouldn't try to mislead others on purpose now, would you?

Sure. That's what he meant.

After all, everybody speaks that way.

For example.....

Joseph Smith hit a foul ball and it hit a fan in the stands. Jim Jones hit a home run but he didn't hit that (the fan). Someone else hit it.

Sure...that was what he meant.

It amazes me how you guys are so easily fooled when the President says something and his speech writers find ways to spin it to minimize the damage.

Like when he referred to Benghazi as an act of terror.

No shit Sherlock...it WAS an act of terror because innocent people were killed by people that wanted them dead for personal reasons..

But it was not what we all refer to as a "terrorist attack"....which it was proven to be after the fact.

You guys are tools.

The fact is WE DID BUILD THAT!

The roads and bridges didn't build themselves and the government didn't pay for it out of their own pocket.

Damn, you people are as stupid as the asshat you admire.

The government is....US
We the People

Your business does not exist without the investment of We the People

And our economy doesn't exist without the jobs and taxes generated by those who risk everything to actually build something.

 

[SAYIT]

So there seems to be 2 lines of defense of that monumentally ignorant statement.
1) That isn't what was meant by "you didn't build that" and,
2) It is the truth
I think the defenders need to get together on a united front.

Obama talks like there was no business before the government built the interstate.

.

In addition to its abject ignorance, it's also a statement of intellectual dishonesty. A straw man.

I have never, nor have any of my dozens of business clients, claimed that we do not utilize roads and bridges (a notion insulting by its very existence) to get to work or move materials or anything else.

None of us have ever claimed that people who we hire and employ -- some of whom do more net harm than good -- played a role in increasing the size of the business WE had created.

But that doesn't matter, because intellectual honesty is not a priority here. This is about "you didn't build that, you didn't earn that, give it to us, play by our rules."

At least be honest for a change.

.

It's a justification for imposing more taxes. The Left feels all money ultimately belongs to the government. A nd now they want more of it. That's it pure and simple.

I look at this whole episode -- from Obama's comments to Warren's "roads & bridges" defense of this comments -- as a turning point, a moment in time when the hard Left came out of the closet (at least somewhat) and began to tell us what it is really after. We've been seeing more and more of it since that time.

.

Actually Warren said it first, quoting that fat piece of shit Berkeley professor. Obama copied her.

 

[SAYIT]

Ah, so you didn't build those things, we as a nation did.

Am I getting that right, is that what you are saying?

Exactly. You and I and everyone else that pays taxes built the roads and bridges etc... So to say "you didn't build that" is disingenuous.

Lets put it into context......"You didn't build that" is a response to the theory that businesses should be protected from paying taxes. Not be required to contribute to those bridges, roads, schools, police, fire protection that they benefit so much from

Not so. It was a response to those who believe that creeping socialism in the form of gov't redistribution of PRIVATE PROPERTY is not just wrong, it will eventually destroy America's greatest strength ... INDIVIDUALISM.

 

[Jarhead]

The government is....US
We the People

Your business does not exist without the investment of We the People

It's remarkable how far you morons will go to defend the stupid shit Obama says. The fact is, roads are bridges would never have needed to be built if it had not been for private citizens and free market capitalism.

Talk about dumb statements

Businesses survive off of the society around them. They need to move goods and services. They need to be accessable to their clients. They need a communications and power infrastructure. They need an educated workforce

We the People provide that

True.,

And a paper company supplies the paper used to conduct business.

Does that mean the paper company built the business it services?

Without air, we all die and can not run a business.

Do we give air credit for building our business?

You guys are reaching.....really reaching.

Its fun to watch.

Obama mentioned terrorism, but he claimed a video caused a riot which caused the attack. Problem was, that did happen elsewhere, but days later, no thanks to the Obama Administration repeatedly apologizing for the video that nobody saw.

A video that depicted what Muslims did in Paris two days ago in response to the war in Gaza.

Business has always relied on Government to protect their interests. Why do you think we have wars?

How can they?

The White House has the meanings of what the President says in a constant state of evolution......they toss out different "meanings" of what he says and identifies the one that they find is most popular.

To add, without Government stimulus and intervention, during times most needed in our past -- programs such as, WPA, ERA, RFC, SEC, FDIC, etc, most people would have had a hard time "building that."

No. He did not mention terrorism (in the commonly used context of the word terrorism)..

He referred to it as an act of terror.

A drunk driver commits an act of terror.....but it does not imply that it was a pre planned attack in an effort to kill Americans.

He uses the gift of gab so he can always fend off those that disagree with him.

It is what got him elected......both times.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Most ignorant line in the history of man is anything from only a few years ago. Want ignorance try from a thousand or so years ago, "God loves you."

That the same God who wiped everybody out once?

Yes, he did mention terrorism. He didn't mention precisely that Benghazi was terrorism, then imply later it wasn't terrorism.

The problem is taking into context, his past statements changes the meaning of what he said. His administration discussed in the past that they would redefine terrorism, calling it man-made disasters and the war on terror is overseas contingency operations.

Most ignorant line in the history of man :

Tax cuts pay for themselves

 

[Wry Catcher]

"If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Spoken by someone who clearly never built anything.

Only a true partisan would troll with with a thread such as this. The fact that no business can succeed, or even get off the ground, without the basic infrastructure of roads, sewage, water, electricity and fire protection is obvious. Well, maybe a bordello or an opium den.

Only a concrete thinker would thank you for this ridiculous piece of trolling, not only is it as stale as month old bread, it is one more example of a person with nothing to offer posting nothing of substance. That alone should garner you much acclaim from the echo chamber.

Only a simplistic thinker would believe that something as ubiquitous as roads are these days results in an advantage of one person over another.

No one is building new roads to accommodate businesses. In fact roads were not built to accommodate businesses at all.

First you say no, then you say it's possible.

Make up your mind

Obama means that we all owe the government. Not the fact that we worked hard to succeed.

He's full of crap.

All government ever does is hold back progress, not help it along.
