here's a random thought...

it boggles the mind that the network news executives cannot figure out how to slow the exodus of viewers all the while they continue to put democrat supporting liberals on camera.

tim russert, we miss you.

random thought.

Russert hated partisan, close minded assholes like you.

Totally random thoughtlessness and clueless panic.

I saw a FB ad asking if people thought Sarah Palin could ever be President... and I didn't discount it off hand.

If you want this country to survive, do not just discount it, work actively against it.

Russert hated partisan, close minded assholes

He sure had a lot of them on his show.

If you want this country to survive, do not just discount it, work actively against it.

So says the sage of Southern California who proclaimed Obama as the second coming of Christ when he was really the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

Russert hated partisan, close minded assholes like you.

Rich.

So says the sage of Southern California who proclaimed Obama as the second coming of Christ when he was really the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

...at least Carter wasn't a pathological liar - a horrible President - but not a pathological liar.

We went from a President who sounded stupid even if he was saying something fairly intelligent... to a President who sounds intelligent even while saying somthing really stupid.

...which is what he did, and continues to do, touting his "stimulus" crap sandwich - his summer recovery tour...

How 'bout we just use the leftover funds in the "stimulus" crap sandwich account?

The ADA (Americans With Disability Act) passed 20 years ago today.

It would not pass today. The Republican Party, as it is now constituted, would claim it is an unecessary imposition on business and a "job killer".

It passed by 76-8 in the senate and a unanimous voice vote in the house. President George H.W. Bush thinks it was one of his signal achievements as President.

To see what the Repupblican party has become today, one does not have to look any further.

The term "pathological liar" gets tossed about a lot here. By, pathological liars.

Tim Russert would not have allowed Breitbart and his fellow right propagandists who parade around calling themselves "journalists" to go unchallenged, and take a "Well,the other side says.. " point of view. He would not give true pathological liars like Brietbart a free pass.

Speaking of pathological liars, who needs more proof than this, that this obsessive moron from Floriduhh needs help?

the sage of Southern California who proclaimed Obama as the second coming of Christ

I like sage, it's a good herb, especially with poultry. But the sage of Southern California, as the obsessed stalker puts it, never said anything remotely resembling that. Nor, would a self-avowed atheist say anything like that in the first place.

Just a thought.

Tim Russert would not have allowed Breitbart Klein, Krugman and his fellow right left propagandists who parade around calling themselves "journalists" "journOlistas" to go unchallenged.

as the obsessed stalker puts it

Rich.

Elites may have more brilliance, but they can’t have as much experience as the people whose decisions they preempt.

"Because experience trumps brilliance.

Elites may have more brilliance, but those who make decisions for society as a whole cannot possibly have as much experience as the millions of people whose decisions they preempt. The education and intellects of the elites may lead them to have more sweeping presumptions, but that just makes them more dangerous to the freedom, as well as to the well-being, of the people as a whole."

How Bout a Cold Drink?

Rat!

You should save this for January 1, 2011.

Nor, would a self-avowed atheist say anything like that in the first place.

Atheism doesn't mean you don't have "tingles".

Deep thoughts on the progress of Bush's war in Iraq and where that country is today.

By one of the most skilled and responsible military writers of our time.

There is no agreement on how to share oil revenue, no resolution of the basic relationship between the country's three major groups, and no decision on whether Iraq will have a strong central government or be a loose confederation. And no resolution on the future place of the Kurds and Kirkuk.

We are leaving, as we should. It is up to them to make it work. But Bush's intent was to set up a stable, self-sustaining government able to manage a very complex nation. I don't think history will be good to him on this either.

Just a thought.

Klein is a journalist who makes forays into opinion making, IOW, he is an old fashioned REPORTER.

Krugman is never, ever,called a journalist, for he is not.

Again, the pathological and self-deceptive twit surfaces to show her true colors and ignorance.

In support of course, of a male conservative who makes her alllllllllllllllllll tingly in ways.

Deep thoughts on the progress of Bush's America's war in Iraq and where that country is today.

Filed Under:Worst President in History!

Audit: US can't account for $8.7B in Iraqi funds

The audit found that shoddy record keeping by the Defense Department left the Pentagon unable to fully account for $8.7 billion it withdrew between 2004 and 2007 from a special fund set up by the U.N. Security Council. Of that amount, Pentagon "could not provide documentation to substantiate how it spent $2.6 billion."
The funds are separate from the $53 billion allocated by Congress for rebuilding Iraq.

George, Bunker Dick and Rummy belong in prison!

Audit: US can't account for $8.7B in Iraqi funds

Old news.

"The audit did not indicate that investigators believed there were any instances of fraud involved in the spending of these funds."

The abuse of the filibuster that has been taken to an extreme by the Republicans has effectively changed the senate in ways not envisioned in the constitution.

Random thought:

It should be reformed, to take away the power of the minority to require a supermajority vote on everything that comes before the senate.

No ette, Iraq is Bush's war. He wanted it, he twisted,turned, manipulated and some of his people lied, IMO he did too, to get his war on. He wanted to be a President of consequence, in a warped oedipal sense, and knew just enough about history to know that war time Presidents have consequences. What he did not consider, as far as I can see, the possible negative consequences of such a war, and how that overreach could cause long term damage to this country.

It has done us more harm than good. It did not make us any safer. And that should have been his overidding concern. It was not.

The abuse of the filibuster that has been taken to an extreme by the Republicans has effectively changed the senate in ways not envisioned in the constitution.

So, now you're whining about "preemptive" filibusters?

The Constitution allows each house of Congress to set their own rules - tell dingy-the-war-is-lost-reid to stop whining and get to work.

Seems to me you freaks should have thought about this - oh - back in 2009, instead of preening around like a bunch of banty roosters.

No, it's America's war - period.

You could get away with saying "Bush's war" if not for the fact that there were a helluva lot of democratics who couldn't wait to get to a microphone to tell the world how unsafe we were with saddam in power.

The mere fact that you progressives don't care that the intelligence was bad is astounding, to say the least.

You'd rather concentrate on W - than on what's really important to our country - and that's our intelligence agencies.

Both wars are America's wars - both of them.

Obama is doing the best he can do with Afghanistan - as did W. The last thing we need is for pak's nukes to fall into the hands of the tali's - W prevented it - and so far - Obama is preventing it.

Stop your whining about Iraq - it's a done deal.

What the Iraqi's do with their new-found "democracy" is up to them.

If they blow it - it certainly isn't a reflection on America - or W in particular - or Obama.

It's not that simple, although as is your style, you think it is.

You don't have a problem with it then, that the minority has effectively amended the constitution in ways the founders never envisioned.

But since the Republicans are doing it, to protect us from socialism, it's ok with you.

Random thought.

You have none.

It's Bush's war, no matter how you want to run from the truth. It was a war of CHOICE, Bush's choice.

We, the United States, would not be there, if George W. Bush did not put us there.

That was ignorance and hubris.

Harry Reid’s Senate: Where Progressive Legislation Goes to Die

From a liberal nutroot -

"Of course, my obvious question was – why didn’t the Senate take up filibuster reform in January 2009? The Republicans had already planned to be total obstructionists, and in fact Democrats had complained about it in 2008 – when they were already shattering filibuster records."

He made it impossible for them to succeed

Filed Under:Don't Panic — At Least Not Yet

Barack Obama was elected President because the governing philosophy of the last 30 years, arrant Reaganism, had proved itself bankrupt. Reaganism was distinguished by four characteristics--at least, according to its own mythology: the belief that government was "the problem" and so less of it was better, tax-cutting (for the wealthy), deregulation and an insistence on military strength as the primary projection of American authority overseas. These were, in some cases, fantasy attributes.

YOUR WAY DON'T WORK!

Jobs have vanished faster than BP's credibility. And the oil leak has been a drain on the national psyche.

Welcome to the summer of malaise.

Welcome back, Carter.

Even the talking heads at MSNBC have compared Obama's sudden lack of leadership, his summer spent adrift, to the uninspiring Jimmy Carter presidency after last month's remarkably lackluster national address about the Gulf oil leak.

cars are way too complicated to work on these days, i wish i had my 1971 dodge somedays;

Senator Collins 'No' on Disclose Act

“The bill would provide a clear and unfair advantage to unions, while either shutting other organizations out of the election process or subjecting them to onerous reporting requirements that would not apply to unions,” Collins’ press secretary Kevin Kelley told ABC News.

“Senator Collins also believes that it is ironic that a bill aimed at curtailing special interests in the election process provides so many carve outs and exemptions that favor some grassroots organizations over others. This too is simply unfair.”

nice try, shitstains.

So much for the consumer reviving the Oconomy...down deep in the shitter still


Consumer Confidence Index slipped to 50.4 in July, down from the revised 54.3 in June

One component of the Consumer Confidence Index, which measures how people feel now about the economy now, declined to 26.1, from 26.8. The other barometer, which measures respondent's outlook over the next six months, declined to 66.6, from 72.7 last month.

The latest Census Bureau report provides details of the 2007-08 school year, and it goes far in explaining why we have been experiencing large-scale layoffs of public education employees since then.

In the 2007-08 school year, 48,396,076 students were enrolled in the U.S. K-12 public education system. That was a decline of 45,397 students from the previous year. They were taught by 3,150,061 teachers (full-time equivalent). That was an increase of 7,859 teachers from the previous year.
Defenders of the current system are fond of telling us that children are not widgets and public education is not a business. And they are right. No business in America hires more employees when it has fewer customers.

it takes a fucking union to hire more employees to do less work and serve fewer customers.

fucking parasites.

Has she been in a coma for the last 18 months or what...

Then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was key in adding a $100 million fund to the 2008 Farm Bill to help pay back those late claims. Now, thanks to a renegotiated court settlement known as Pigford II, Congress is close to passing $1.15 billion in compensation for those late filers, which is attached to the war supplemental appropriations bill.

The bill has already passed the House. A Senate leadership aide said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) planned to hold a vote on the war supplemental appropriations bill this week — perhaps as early as Thursday — with the discrimination settlement funds attached to that bill."

Obama has been helping Shirley Sherrod for many years.

It will never "trickle down."

Ettiot, you are an idiot. The war in Iraq was supposed to be part of a greater "War on Terrorism". The other justification was the WMD Bush said Saddam had and was willing to either use, or give to terrarists.

Well, the impact on the "War on Terrorism" was not a winner. How we fought the war, the tactics used, the torture and treatment of prisoners increased the number of terrarists in the world and provide TO THIS DAY, motivation for them.

Random Thoughts:

This is all Obama's fault. k'putz says so, rat says so, so it has to be true.

The "jobless recovery" is in fact a realignment of the US labor force. Fewer and fewer employees are needed to produce durable goods. As this situation has progressed, the durable goods workforce has decreased as well. This does not mean the US manufacturing base is in decline. If this were the case, we would see a drop in both manufacturing output and productivity.

Speaking of lies, the CRA is not the cause of the bubble.

I do not berate the rich, or blame them for taking what they can get. What I do not like, and you do for some unfathomable reason, as you will NEVER be one of the rich, you think it's a good thing for them to continue to increase their share of the total wealth of the US, to the detriment of the middle class. It has been abundantly clear, that you believe people, other than yourself of course,who make a decent middle class income are freeloaders and a drag on the system.

The rest of your rant on sideline money, while true to a point, is not the fault of Obama. It is far more complex than that, but you are addicted to simple one liners, because again, you are not capable of thinking outside the little right wing, flea infested, racist box you inhabit.

indicating that instead of being in decline, US manufacturing is simply doing more with less.

no shit, sherlock.

why the fuck do you think corp profits are soaring?

it's not top-line growth, it's bottom line efficiencies and cost-cutting.

"The Democrats' six-point advantage in Gallup Daily interviewing from July 12-18 represents the first statistically significant lead for that party's candidates since Gallup began weekly tracking of this measure in March."

It's just a damn shame dramaObama doesn't care.

Yawn..

You really should read something other than Boortz, NRO and the other sites that do nothing to inform you. But they do reinforce your already held opinions and you use them to convince yourself of your righteousness and correctness of thought.

Dumbshit, I read outside the leftist box. You are the one who is hooked on right wing fumes. You haven't had a thought that Boortz and the like didn't form for you, for as long as I have seen you post.

It's just a damn shame dramaObama doesn't care.

The raving loon, I do not know which one, they all spout the same drivel, said he did not understand, how any of the "anti-capitalists liberals' who work for SiriusXM radio could stand to work for a company that ... makes money!

I see the same kind of illogical bs fly off this blog on a regular basis. Except for the fringe, and I do mean the far fringe, there are next to no anti-capitalist liberals in any position of power or influence. I am not anti-capitalist either. I have NO problem with a company making goods, providing services, or making money in a myriad other fashions.

I know that profit motive capitalism is not a system of government. They have two different functions in a society.

So put that canard down, do not pick it up again, do not pass go, and do not collect $200 the next time you spout that lie. Just go directly to liars jail.

And grow the hell up.

For the good of the party and country, I have to agree.

Freshman Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick of Idaho called on Rep. Charles Rangel to resign, becoming the second lawmaker in his party to call for the embattled New York Democrat to leave Congress.

In an interview, Minnick said, “Now that the investigation is complete, and provided the facts are as alleged, I think it’s clear that he should resign from Congress.”

Ohio Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton also called for Rangel to resign in advance of a public adjudicatory subcommittee hearing Thursday.

Rangel is trying to negotiate a deal as I write. He's a hell of a guy, and a fine American. But he got too comfortable, to .. self-important, and should just fade slowly, slowly away.

It is probably hard for him to see, but it would be the best thing for his legacy as well.

The Left is so proud.

Senseless, must you be schooled again?

Obama decided a stimulus was needed. Good.

He formed the package, with the aim of gathering at least a bit of Republican support. It ended up smaller than it should have been, with more of it in tax cuts than in direct stimulus spending, in hope of gaining that support, that in the end, never came. So they passed a bill smaller than it should have been, and less stimulative than it should have been.

The follow up should have been another bill, to fix the shortcomings of the first bill. Well, time and political circumstances changed. It became politically impossible to pass another stimulus bill that would have fixed some of the shortcomings of the first one. Krugman and I tried to tell him, but.. he did not listen.

As to the predictions of 8% that ended up being 9.2% or higher, well, the true depths of where the Great Bush Recession would take us were 'misunderestimated'. While there is no doubt that the stimulus helped, saving millions of jobs, creating a 2-3 million more, that simply was not enough to make up for the Great Bush Recession.

Crystal balls are sometimes quite murky. The future isn't as clear as one might wish. But if our system wasn't intentionally being used to make SURE that unemployment isn't properly addressed, which plays into Republican hands, yes, Republicans are that cynical and diabolical, a rational system would have passed another bill to address the shortcomings of the first.

That however, would not help the bastards in the minority,so they said FUCK the country, we want to WIN in November. So we will do our best to assue that millions of americans,who otherwise could have been employed, are not going to be employed, and may be persuaded to vote for us.

And that, is the coldheartedtruth.

What I do not like, and you do for some unfathomable reason, as you will NEVER be one of the rich, you think it's a good thing for them to continue to increase their share of the total wealth of the US, to the detriment of the middle class.

Not Quite the Clinton Solution

In all the talk about returning to the Clinton income-tax tables, I have been confused on one small point: As I remember the Gingrich-Clinton years, the tax raises were followed by spending freezes and caps, and some time later we had balanced budgets, however fragile and temporary.

That compromise of the 1990s now seems to be forgotten: If the Clinton tax tables led to a balanced budget, why does no one believe they will this time around? Why is there so much additional talk of the need for novel VAT taxes, health-care surcharge taxes, and caps off income subject to FICA payroll taxes?

In other words, why is there no talk about the second half of the equation, applying an immediate, across-the-board spending freeze?

What makes the return to the Clinton tax code (if it happens and if it affects everyone equally) really unfortunate is that we are going to be taxing in an L-shaped “recovery” and yet will make little, if any, progress in balancing the books, given that borrowing is still seen as needed “stimulus” and won’t be reined in.

We can see the downward spiral; California and Greece are the models. Spending keeps rising, taxes creep up in response, deficits rise, shrill warnings about the need to cut defense, policing, and other necessary government services begin to be heard, and more taxation is passed to catch up with spending — until the next crisis.

ah, yes.

the part of the clinton years that liberals must ignore. spending caps and freezes that contributed equally to those balanced budgets.

"France declares war against al-Qaida"

probably planting trees as we speak so those fucking raghead shitstains can conquer them in the shade.

"The View" interview was pre-recorded.

The worst President ever is the one you spent 8 years on your knees in front of, performing rhetorical fellatio.

What appears to be good news, is nice once in a while.

London, England (CNN) --

One hundred days after an oil well operated by BP ruptured in the Gulf of Mexico, and 13 days after crews finished capping the well to contain the previously-gushing crude, the company's incoming Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley says the worst may be over.

"I think -- no guarantees -- but I believe there will be no more oil flowing into the Gulf as of the 15th of July," Dudley told CNN's "American Morning" on Wednesday.

Dudley, who BP elevated Tuesday to replaced current Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward on October 1, said resolving the crisis is "the single-highest priority for BP going forward."

"The only way you can build a reputation is not just by words, but by action," Dudley said. "I picked up that people think that, well, once we cap this well, we're somehow going to pack up and disappear. That is certainly not the case. We're -- we've got a lot of clean-up to do. We've got claims facilities. We've got 35 of those around the Gulf coast. As of this morning, we wrote a quarter of a billion dollars in checks, for claims. There's still more to go. We know that. We haven't been perfect at this. But it's a deep, deep personal commitment from me for BP and the many people in the Gulf coast to make this right in America."

Responding to criticism from the nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, Dudley added, "I don't think BP is reckless. Nor do I think we do things to cut corners, nor have we designed wells that are somehow different than many of the other wells in the Gulf of Mexico. But, having said that, we've had a tragic accident and there is no question that we will make some changes going forward, significant changes. And from between now and October, there will be a lot of planning and looking in what we need to do to focus on safety and reliable operations. We're going to learn, not only BP, but the entire industry is going to learn from these investigations."

The toll to the region has been crushing as millions of barrels of oil spewed from a mile below the surface for almost three months.

Gulf Coast Oil Spill

BP
By Wednesday, 100 days on, thousands of workers had lost their jobs, sensitive wetlands had been damaged and tourism was at a near standstill.

But the latest evidence supports Dudley's optimism about the stymied oil flow.

The federal on-scene commander for cleanup, Coast Guard Rear Adm. Paul Zukunft, said a fleet of 800 skimmers collected only one barrel of oil Monday. The latest readings showed the containment cap was holding, and there don't appear to be any leaks from the well -- conditions that are essential before it can be permanently sealed.

At the height of the spill, collection vessels were gulping 25,000 barrels of oil a day.

"The task that's laid out before us is very clear right now," retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the man in charge of the federal Gulf of Mexico oil crisis response, said Tuesday.

"We have absolute priorities," Allen said, "on killing the well, maintaining the recovery, making sure the oil is all removed and making sure the beaches are cleaned up and that the commitment by BP to the people is met."

Crews are back on track to permanently shut down BP's once-gushing wellhead in the next few weeks, if setbacks are avoided and weather permits.

Random Thought

My guess is, that a significant plurality of CHT "conservatives" agree that Islam is a cult and therefore not deserving of first amendment protection.

Domenico Montanaro writes:

Earlier today we wrote that ahead of next week's Tennessee gubernatorial primary, Rep. Zach Wamp, Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam and current Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey were thought to be essentially tied in the polls.

And then there's this video that has surfaced of Ramsey at a July 14th event, questioning whether Islam is, perhaps, a "cult."

"You could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion or is it a nationality, way of life or cult, whatever you want to call it," he said, responding to a question about Muslims that are "invading our country."

An e-mail alert sent to area newspapers last week announced that a one-hour "singing – praying – patriotic rally" will begin at 12:30 p.m. July 30 at the Islamic Center’s existing facility. The advisory – sent by a leader of a conservative coalition that has been active with Republican and Tea Party functions – recommended participants "bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voices."

"We will not be submissive," the notice proclaimed. "Our voices are going to be heard!" The alert went on to question what its authors described as Islamic beliefs. It suggested that participants sing during the rally because Muslim "women are forbidden to sing." It suggested that rally participants bring dogs because Muslims "hate dogs."

Woof woof.

'nother article about the failure of Oconomics

"...the policy changes on health-care and financial services that have emerged from the current crisis, plus the largest tax increase in history that will hit Jan. 1 without Congressional action, are restraining companies, especially mid-to-small-sized ones.

Atlas didn't shrug; he's sitting on his hands—and his wallet [while he confronts regulatory and tax uncertainty.]

That is the message heard repeatedly from entrepreneurs, their private-equity investors and their wealth managers."

Whatta, as you know, uncertainty gives people the jitters. But, there is also this. What people think may happen and drives them to be cautious, is quite often overblown.

In reagards to marginal tax rates, even if every one of the Bush tax cuts expire, as they should, the rates will still be significantly lower than they were in the 1980's under Saint Ronaldus Maximus.

The other issues, the new HCR and financial regs, well, my opinion is, the fears on those too are overblown. I am not surprised by this. The uncertainty is real, no doubt. But it is also driven by the Republican party and their overblown, over the top, "OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST" rhetoric. The political cynic in me sees that while a hanful of Republicans actually believe their own bullshit, most of them know damn well it's bs, but nevertheless, they are willing to use it for their own political gain.

Why am I such a cynic? Well, experience, having seen it for a long, long time, and then this, when a Republican accidentally tells the truth.

Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) said: I don't know a single Senator in Washington who didn't want to see these benefits extended,"

He is one of those who argued against them, saying they should be paid for. Laughable at it's face, because they want to keep the Bush tax cuts and NOT pay for them. But he knows that the extention is popular, and probably in his heart knows it was the right thing to do, to extend them. But for political reasons, he could not support them.

And then there's this video that has surfaced of Ramsey at a July 14th event, questioning whether Islam is, perhaps, a "cult."

Sigh, you bring up FDR's biggest mistake and say it's all part and parcel of the same thing.

it's just always the one that comes immediately to mind.

history is full of liberal leftist - oppression, fascism, murder, dictator-worship, free mumia, che, mao, oliver stone telling us that hitler and stalin were just misunderstood, neville chamberlain appeasement, presidential assassinations, weather underground bombings, racsim/race baiting and the list goes on and on and on and on and...


liberals are fucking scum, and you get your panties in a wad every time we point it out.

Filed Under:Rat Droppings.

liberals are fucking scum,

What do you base that hate statement on?
Do you wear a tin foil hat to keep the evil liberal thought waves away?

Fuck you rat.

the scum is you.

Well, as a southern cracker, I am sure you find the murder of a man under the color of law, wasn't that big of a deal.

Well, as a left-wing bigot, I am sure you find a way to use a 60 year old murder to justify your bigotry.

No surprise there, none at all. Nor is you justifying the most blatant example of liberal racism in the 20th century. You go girl.

Fuck you rat.

ah, struck a nerve!

i know, hackwit, the truth hurts.

which explains why you assholes work overtime to re-write history.




now put on your che' shirt and your mao hat and gitcher fat ass down to phoenix.

LOL.

Funny stuff.

As if the repeated trips to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina weren't clues enough, former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania met privately last week with several of his former Capitol Hill staffers to pitch the idea of a presidential bid in 2012.

According to GOP sources familiar with the meeting, which took place last Tuesday in Washington, Santorum conveyed his seriousness about a possible campaign and solicited his former aides for advice.

Though the 2012 Republican field has yet to take shape, Santorum, who lost his 2006 re-election bid by 18 points, would enter the race as a decided underdog (he's the guy who said gay marriage would lead to legal man on dog sex) against better-funded opponents with growing national political operations, such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Senseless, keep up the good work. Prove again, time after time, what a loser and willfully ignorant fuckstick you are.

I am not surprised that you would not think Islam is a religion and is by that, protected by the Constitution.

The constitution does not "protect" religion. In fact the 1st amendment was quite explicate:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion not prohibit the free exercise thereof.

And long as people legally and peacefully engage the exercise of their religion then the government has no interest.

However when a group of people is directed by a religious organization to make war upon the United States and to kill Americans the United State will exercise it's right of self-defense and will fight those religious organizations who are at war with it.

This lie flew through CHT too. Not surprisingly,there will be no apologies for the lies. The righties can do no wrong. Cheney taught them well. When wrong, attack. When proven wrong again, attack harder! But never, ever admit fault or apologize.

"We noted yesterday the controversy over the Obama administration's reaction to Scotland's proposed release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohment al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds, i.e., the claim that he was about to die. Foreign newspapers quoted a letter from a U.S. Embassy official in London, Richard LeBaron, which said that the U.S. would prefer that Megrahi not be released, but that if he were to be let go, the Obama administration thought it was "far preferable" to free Megrahi than have him transferred to a Libyan jail. On its face, this preference seemed odd; many wondered whether the notoriously pliable Obama administration had used Megrahi's alleged illness as another opportunity for "outreach." But, as I noted last night, the full text of LeBaron's letter had not been made public, so it was difficult to judge. Today the State Department did release the full text of LeBaron's letter. In my opinion, it answers the questions we asked yesterday and reflects credit on the State Department and the Obama administration,"

They are usually reliable and wrong. But at least he has some integrity. Pretty rare for a rightie.

Semantics from senseless?

LOL

So you don't like the word "Protect". The Constitution protects religions from being controlled by the state. By prohibiting the establishment of a state religion, which would by its very nature, mean state control, it very much 'protects' religions from governmental control.

When the "State of Islam" declares war on the US, get back to me. Otherwise, you are just doing the jihadists work for them by providing evidence that you are at war with their religion.

Good job, idiot.

Even GWB knew better.

And he's a dumbfuck.

Yep. Now that was a classic!

Taxes for Thee but Not for Me

Two thoughts on the Senator Kerry embarrassment. Was it really a “judgement call”? It seems to me a pretty open-and-shut case of tax evasion, in the manner of the Timothy Geithner’s illegal write-offs and FICA avoidance. When an average taxpayer tries to avoid paying sales tax on his car or boat by the sort of machinations that Kerry employed, is the state franchise tax board (or, in some cases, the IRS) so silent?

Second, there is a disturbing pattern here: Those who are most adamant in pressing for higher taxes, rather than emphasizing spending cuts, themselves seem to be the most ready to cheat on their own taxes — think of a Dodd, Geithner, Kerry, or Rangel. That narrative of hypocrisy ties into a larger and disturbing trend: Could it be that leftist populists who rail against the unfairness of the system and activists who call for radical political and lifestyle changes are motivated by a need for psychological exemptions for their very concrete indulgences?

Surely if one were to collate what John Edwards has said about two Americas, what Al Gore has said about frivolous consumption and its effect on the environment, and Tom Friedman’s eloquent warnings about unsustainable Western lifestyles, one would never imagine the thousands of square footage in living space that each sees as essential to his own existence.

Judge Blocks Arizona Immigration Law
A federal judge has blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing the Obama administration and other opponents of the law a major legal victory, the New York Times reports.

"The parts of the law that the judge blocked included the sections that called for officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws and that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times."

Economists Say Intervention Prevented a Depression
wo leading economists "wielding complex quantitative models" say they have proven that the federal government's "sweeping interventions to prop up the economy since 2008 helped avert a second Depression," the New York Times reports.

In a new paper, they "argue that without the Wall Street bailout, the bank stress tests, the emergency lending and asset purchases by the Federal Reserve, and the Obama administration's fiscal stimulus program, the nation's gross domestic product would be about 6.5 percent lower this year. In addition, there would be about 8.5 million fewer jobs, on top of the more than 8 million already lost; and the economy would be experiencing deflation, instead of low inflation." --Political Wire

Applying the proper legal standards based upon well-established precedent, the Court finds that the United States is likely to succeed on the merits in showing that the following Sections of S.B. 1070 are preempted by federal law:

Portion of Section 2 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 11-1051(B): requiring that an officer make a reasonable attempt to
determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully present in the United States, and requiring verification of the immigration status of any person arrested prior to releasing that person

Section 3 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 13-1509: creating a crime for the failure to apply for or carry alien registration papers

Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 13-2928(C): creating a crime for an unauthorized alien to solicit, apply for, or perform work

Section 6 of S.B. 1070
A.R.S. § 13-3883(A)(5): authorizing the warrantless arrest of a person where there is probable cause to believe the person has committed a public offense that makes the person removable from the United States.

Obama to make history with appearance on 'The View'

White House: Obama's appearance is a way to speak to people "where they are"
(CNN) -- President Obama becomes the first sitting president to appear on a daytime talk show when he records a pre-taped interview with the ladies of The View on Wednesday [the segment will air Thursday].

James, no matter who says the stimulus saved us from a Depression, this crowd will deny it to their dying day.

As long as it does not fit their political narrative, they will always, always, toe the party line.

One of the reasons righties tend to have a single method they can all stand behind, is that underneath it all, they have a deep, emotional commitment to resist change. They are therefore, more easily lead, like sheep, to the slaughter.

Organizing liberals is like herding cats.

"Taxes for Thee but Not for Me"

Ever have an original thought??? Suggest you send that link to your crook of a lawyer friend who has his big boat parked in RI.....it applies to him also....and as far as I am concerned, you are abetting a felon for not turning him in.....Friggin fraud you are!

Opie, it has long been established that rat has no original thouhts outside of calling those who disagree with him "scum" or worse. He leaves the actual thinking and writing to those who have those who can do both.

James, DAMN. I had that story, thought I had posted it,but my browser crashed as I sent it.

However, I did hear rat's head explode!

no you didn't. this was expected.

what's also expected is that this will go before the USSC and the AZ law will be upheld in it's entirety.

the last laugh, as usual, will be ours.

LOL.

White House: Obama's appearance is a way to speak to people welfare parasites "where they are," in public housing, on the couch, watching daytime tv, and anxiously awaiting that holiest of liberal holy days - the first of the month when the checks arrive.

I rather doubt that even this SCOTUS will let it stand in its entirety. Just because the righties and xenopobic sicko like you stop any rational immigration reform does not mean the SCOTUS will overturn precident, and give the states preeminence over federal law.

That was decided long ago, and this suit will not have standing to change it.

Loser.

The Feds are very likely to succeed in this challenge to key parts of Arizona immigration law.

rat will weep.

I rather doubt that even this SCOTUS will let it stand in its entirety.

why?

the very basis of the challenge, that it pre-empts fed law, is demonstrably false.

The Feds are very likely to succeed in this challenge to key parts of Arizona immigration law.

that'll be a hoot since the AZ law is 95% fed law.

but i wouldn't put it past this administration to shoot themselves in the foot on this issue too.

Fewer and fewer employees are needed to produce durable goods.

Well, we really do know why fewer employees are needed, there is less being purchased, so the real reason is not some hold blameless Obama parrot rant, but that the US consumer is out smarting the Central Planners.

Buying less is good for the bottom line of the regular American households micro-economic situation.

Did you know that if you make 5 million a year you are not that far removed from the Average American?

LMAO.. the bloviating of some Sunni cleric in Iran, or anywhere else for that matter, is not in any way, shape or form, the same thing as a nation state declaring war on another.

So, again, when there is a "State of Islam", a unified state, that encompases most of the Muslim world, a nation state, not some imam's fantasy state, let me know. Otherwise, cower under your blankies and be afraid to come out till some loud mouth Republican like Newt says you are.

Arithmetic is too much for one Republican.

To quote someone I know who knows him. "The dumbest fucking politician I ever met." and my friend met plenty of them.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) -- the fifth highest ranking Republican in the Senate -- has a new plan for lowering deficits, and as you might expect from GOP leadership, it involves zero tax hikes. It does however, involve math and, if his appearance on Fox News last night is any indication, Thune finds math rather difficult. There's really no other way to explain his utter failure to remember the law of diminishing returns when he talked about the benefits of his deficit reduction plan.

Appearing on Fox News, Thune and host Greta Van Susteren discussed the bill's call for the creation of a Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with reducing the deficit 10 percent year over year.

"It would be required to find 10% in savings -- 10% of the deficit in savings every budget cycle," Thune said.

"So in 10 years we wouldn't have a deficit?" van Sustern asked.

"Theoretically, yes," Thune replied.


I suspect even the Jolly Rancher can do math better than he.

Ruthless Frugality

Jane has not been spouting the new Obimbo poll numbers of late, so as a PSA I will

Gallup
Approval ---- 45%

Disapproval -- 49%

49 Percent Disapproval is a new high for this polling group.

Because the Stimuless failed and only those that are true Bots do not agree with that point.

Let's look at another poll ( I use gallup because it is the recommended polling data of the left).

Gallup Daily: U.S. Economic Outlook
Getting Worse 63% (that is the same number it was at two weeks after the Stimuless Act became the law of the land)

Actually, the odds against such the event you so badly want to happen, have decreased significantly over the last few years.

Most of the Arab secular states know these religeous fanatics are as much or more of a threat to them, than us.

al Qaeda has had it's capabilities greatly reduced, to the point that they are not likely to be able to pull off any big 9/11 like event, ever.

What they have been good at, is scaring idiots like you. What is ironic, is that it ain't you, you are just another pathetic coward yelling on a blog with at most 10 regular participants, is that the people and ideas you support give aid and comfort to the terrorists be reinforcing their belief that the west is at war with their religion.

As I said, even Bush avoided that trap and he IS a bloody moron. Keep up the good work stupid, and make sure you pull the covers up tight tonite!

Rat, point to the 9-11 Commission and there statement of when Islamic Terrorism declared war on the US.

2.1 A Declaration of War

Now why would a poster tell us the exact opposite of what the 9-11 Commission did in their Final Report.

I am not predicting one, let us be clear, I only point it out because of the increase talk about it and the increase chances of one happening.

In Study, 2 Economists Say Intervention Helped Avert a 2nd Depression.

WASHINGTON — Like a mantra, officials from both the Bush and Obama administrations have trumpeted how the government’s sweeping interventions to prop up the economy since 2008 helped avert a second Depression.

Now, two leading economists wielding complex quantitative models say that assertion can be empirically proved.

In a new paper, the economists argue that without the Wall Street bailout, the bank stress tests, the emergency lending and asset purchases by the Federal Reserve, and the Obama administration’s fiscal stimulus program, the nation’s gross domestic product would be about 6.5 percent lower this year.

In addition, there would be about 8.5 million fewer jobs, on top of the more than 8 million already lost; and the economy would be experiencing deflation, instead of low inflation.

First off they are not Sunni clerics they're Shiite. Second they actually run the Islamic Republic of Iran.

You are spectacularly ignorant. Hard to believe there's enough energy in your brain to run fingers over a keyboard.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is not stupid like you and has not declared war on the United States.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is not stupid like you and has not declared war on the United States.

Well if you do call invading an embassy (US sovereign territory) and holding American hostages an act of war, how about killing American Marines in Lebanon? Or How about killing American soldiers with roadside bombs. Iranian support for the insurgency in Afghanistan?

They declare war the day they invaded the US embassy.

When are you going to get it through your thick head that Iran has been conducting low level warfare against the United States since 1979.

You're stuck on stupid.

The Liberals can no longer use the old tired line of Conservatives want illegals in this country for cheap Labor.

Oh boy, that happened in 1977 and you still think that way, wow.

I'm no fan of Iran's government, Ahmadinnerjacket or Islam itsel. But unlike you morons, I do not think we have to attack them tomorrow to remain safe. Hell, there are some very smart people on your side, who think that would be totally friggin stupid and lead to a far wider conflict with unknown consequences. But the bottom line remains, we are NOT in a state of war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Nor are they, with us.

Playing high stakes cat and mouse, yes they are. And no one, despite what you idiots believe, thinks their intentions are good. At least the intent of the current, what I think is an illegitimate goverment that won the election through massive fraud isn't all sweetness and light. You just THINK that way. But as in most things, you are both stupid and full of shit.

My prediction on the whacked out US conservative response to the report issued on TARP and the Stimulus package.

Most of it will get lost in the politics of the situation. The entire Republican rationale to give them another shot, is that TARP and the Stimulus failed, so we must return to the Bush years economic model. Of course that is stupid, it was the Bush year policies that got us to this point.

Some of it will play out along the lines that "These guys make a LOT of assumptions". Which is true. "All the information isn't in", also true.

And, much of it will be lost on many, beause simply put, unemployment is still at an unacceptably high level. And that prospects for a fairly rapid reduction in the rate is not on the horizon.

But I do believe, if one looks back at 1939, when a cascade of failures was allowed to happen, if we had let that happen again, as quite a few people on this blog wanted to happen, we would be looking at unemployment at rates damn near double what they are now. And the reason the righties on this blog are the most upset? We did not have a recurrance of the Great Depression, an event that probably would have been blamed on Obama. And that now, it is likely, that even though the GOP will have significant gains in the election, they will not take back either house.

That makes them so sad, Party Uber Alles ya know.

When the "State of Islam" declares war on the US, get back to me.

like i said, you know nothing of economics.

congress forcing banks to lend to lower socioeconomic people who would be unable to pay

Lies, lies, lies.

congress blocking bush's attempt to increase oversight of fannie and freddie,

was that a republican congress?

Obama stood up the Boy Scouts to do "The View". Our econ genius says that makes him the "Worst President Ever".

I guess, well, Buchanan, Harding, Bush II, are not in the running, well, probably because they did not stand up the boy scouts.

The logic is flawless, my hat is off.

The CRA did not cause the housing bubble, asshole. It did not. A Republican congressman, recently defeated by a teabagging wingnut like yourself, said that was simply put, incorrect. You cling to it like a life preserver in a flood. It's not true.

You absolve Bush of all blame, blame the congress of 2005, that had a bare one seat majority in the senate and was tied in knots by McConnell, in his cynical ploy, one that works on ignorant, talking point assholes like you and did not allow them to actually pass bills that may have averted some of the worst aspects of The Great Recession. A recession that, if the predictions made by you and others, that the tax cuts would bring us strong, sustainable growth.

I see NO need at all to do as you want me to do, and put all the blame on Obama and his "anti-business" policies. Being at least an amateur student of history, I know that the same arguments you make today, are the same ones used by Republicans throughout recent history. You claim that if only we would let business FREE, economic nirvana would be the result.

Well, we can see what removing the regulatory system that was one of the legacies of "The New Deal" did. It gave us the worst economic downturn since booze was illegal. Yet your "solution" is to return to the policies of Bush and the fucking idiots that put us here.

YOU are the moron, not I. YOU are the total, blind, partisan jagoff, not me.

You petty, arrogant little prick.

Rant amendment:

A recession that, if the predictions made by you and others, that the tax cuts would bring us strong, sustainable growth (were true, would not have happened, but it DID.) But you forgive Dear Leader of all sins.

WW, lies is all balls has. And talking points he gets off talk radio hosted by angry, white, males.

And this thread will soon be full..

kinda funny.

Obama was called the worst ever because he failed to honor the boy scouts.

A Tale of Success with which to close this thread. To the great chagrin of the host and most if not all the right wingnuts who populate this joint and the US Chamber of Commerce, the auto industry bailout has not only succeeded,but exceeded expectations.

Perhaps none was more controversial than the decision to rescue Chrysler and General Motors, using $86 billion in taxpayer funds and an expedited bankruptcy process that wiped out shareholders, brought in new executives and directors, forced creditors to take a financial haircut, closed dealerships and factories and imposed painful cuts in wages and benefits on unionized workers. It was an extraordinary and heavy-handed government intervention into the market economy that left the Treasury owning a majority of both companies. As one participant recalls, public opinion was divided among those who believed that the companies should have been allowed to die, those who believed they would never survive bankruptcy and those who believed the government would inevitably screw things up. Among the most vocal skeptics: the Chamber's Donohue.

A year!!! later, the auto bailout is an unqualified success. The government used its leverage to force the companies to make the painful changes they should have made years before, and then backed off and let the companies run themselves without any noticeable interference.

The results, which President Obama will tout on a visit to Michigan on Friday: For the first time since 2004, GM and Chrysler, along with Ford, all reported operating profits in their U.S. businesses last quarter. The domestic auto industry added 55,000 jobs last year, ending a decade-long string of declines. Auto sector exports are up 57 percent so far this year and, thanks largely to new government regulations, the industry is moving quickly to introduce more fuel-efficient vehicles. Most surprising of all, GM and Chrysler have already repaid more than $8 billion in government loans, while GM is preparing for an initial stock offering later this year that would allow the government to recoup most, if not all, of its investment.

There was a time, not long ago, when real business leaders encouraged these kind of public-private partnerships.
