I watched an old movie last night instead of paying attention to WE Blog. Here’s a line from that movie:
“Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.We’d put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, ’till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eating each other.In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse… until this little picnic tonight.And you know, there wasn’t one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived.
As I don’t believe you were copying that down, word for word as you listened, you might want to give credit as to the movie and the author(s). Copyright and all that. ;)
Lady from Shanghai
Novel by Sherwood King
Screenplay by Orson Welles
BTW, pretty descriptive words, and your point (and the author’s) is well made.
Of course, we’ve long since abandoned any concept of limited government; that went out with the New Deal in the 30’s. Since that time, the Constitution has to Congress been mostly something to give lip service to, not any limitation on their authority.
I have no idea of who penned that particular passage. My guess would be King, but without digging deep, a guess is all I have. Neither Wikiquote nor IMDB says who, although both have the quote.
The New Deal began the ruinous trend toward Socialism in the US.
It will be reversed one way or the other. Either we fix it now, or the Socialist Model will destroy itself - and lead America to the Greatest Depression ever seen in the history of this country.
Encouraging people not to work, not to be productive, has led to the destruction of American manufacturing, the exportation of jobs.
Practically nothing is made in the USA anymore. And this has greatly weakened this country to the point where we are living on fumes of wealth created by the hard-working Americans of the past, and living on a National Debt to be paid by later generations.
Do you ever work? Seems like you have all day, every day, to sit on your fat ass and talk shit about other people. Are you a millionaire or on disability? Either way, you’re a recipient of public assistance.
If you knew ANYTHING about socialism, you’d know that its purer version, communism, puts the emphasis on LABOR rather than on consumption: “from each according to his abilities” and all that.
That you don’t appear to know this strongly suggests that you are, well, a Nazin shill–just as I’ve often said.
Are the socialists the ones who took us into Iraq? Just wondering, since that appears to be our greatest money drain at the moment and could very well lead to the next Great Depression.
Anywho, the old Palace theatre on East Kellogg is giving away their theatre seats if anyone is interested. The link is to craigslist and the info is there.
Of course CFUK is reduced to his “NAZI” attack. He has no clue what it means to be self-reliant, to not wish for something from someone else, to actually lift a hand to feed himself, or to Volunteer to help others.
Instead he advocates the continued compulsion of charity from others who earn a living, through the coercion of the “free” State’s power to tax without limit, and redistribute wealth and spread corruption throughout the land.
This approach is much closer to the NAZI tactics CF so frequently relishes in.
CF would love the “purer” Socialist form - Communism.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is the ultimate dream of CF.
This would encourage low-lifes like CF to prosper in spite of their lack of will to take care of themselves.
“Either we fix it now, or the Socialist Model will destroy itself - and lead America to the Greatest Depression ever seen in the history of this country.”
Yeah, good point, Max. If only there were a way to test this theory that “more socialism = ruined economy.”
I got it–look at Old Europe with it’s punishing tax bites and womb-to-tomb state nannyism.
The Euro has almost doubled in value against the US dollar in the last decade check
Longer life-span due to less stress, more infrastructure, and better health care check
Higher standard of living for the middle class check
Better education system check
Stronger unions (Wal-Mart in Germany is unionized) means more vacation time, better pay and benefits check
Nationalized health-care means longer life-span and more competative business (since they don’t have to pay for it) check
Ranking of standard-of-living consistently put the most socialized countries in the top-ten — US is NOT in the top ten check
******
So you’re right, Max. Socialism does mean economic ruin.
Unfortunately, you only lack one thing to prove that–any evidence whatsoever.
Answer my question: given your evident leisure to post all day long, every day, are you receiving public assistance in the form of welfare (something of which I approve for those who need it) or in the form of corporate welfare, whose recipients are invariably undeserving parasites like yourself?
Either way, you’re a taker rather than a giver. You give parasites and Nazis a bad name, Max.
Uh oh. You know all that personal e-mail you read and send from work, not to mention the Web surfing you do when you’re bored? Yeah, you might want to stop all that. Now. Fully 50 percent of U.S. companies say they have fired employees for abusing e-mail and Web use at work. That’s the word from a new survey of 304 U.S. companies of all sizes that was conducted by the American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute. Specifically, more than a quarter of companies have fired workers for misusing e-mail and a third have fired employees for misusing the Internet on the job, reports InfoWorld.
. . . .
Big brother is watching you–and probably hasn’t told you. Fully two-thirds of all U.S. companies monitor what their employees are doing on the Internet and almost as many use software to block inappropriate Web sites. Only two states require companies to notify their workers they are being watched. Eighteen percent of the companies block URLs to prevent workers from visiting external blogs, notes InfoWorld. This is how your company is monitoring you:
–45 percent: Track content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard
–43 percent: Store and review computer files
–12 percent: Monitor blogs to track content about the company
–10 percent: Monitor social networking sites.
******
But don’t worry, Max. When you get fired for excessive blogging from work, we’ll still be here fighting for your unemployment benefits and COBRA health care (such as they are under BushCo).
Heckler - Yeah actually, the displaced Iraqis are risking their lives to get to Germany, Finland, etc.
BTW, your post about Crockett was great, I’d seen it before. And I’m sure you were thinking when you posted it about all these “social programs” that we’re wasting our money on. However, doesn’t it bother you that Bush has defiled the Constitution by invading our privacy, offering no bid contracts to his buddies, and getting us into a war by lying?
If Bush has spied on any American citizen without a FISA warrant–which he has–then he’s been invading the privacy of American citizens. Whether or not personally happen to be one of them is quite beside the point.
Had to laugh at this one. I guess Hillary’s experience hosting official dinners gives her experience over Mrs. Obama at handling official dignatary functions.
How do Hillary supporters justify this?
“a new Clinton ad that features images of sleeping children and asks voters who they want “answering the phone” during a crisis. The ad highlights the Clinton argument that she is tested and ready to handle the demands of the Oval Office.” Fox
Listen to the hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies from the leftist Libs on this blog.
Helpless, hopeless, unable and unwilling to take responsibility for themselves. They NEED Big Brother Government to take care of them, because they are too inept to care for themselves. They are nothing but theives, using the Government to steal for them.
Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you.
What’s this? Problems in the party which claims republicans are racists?
“Black superdelegates supporting Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination say they are facing intense harassment from other blacks who want them to switch their support to Barack Obama.”
“African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II told Politico.com, describing the threats as coming in the form of “nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.” Fox
FOUND IT! The reference to Hillary’s vast experience:
“Hillary Clinton on Thursday stepped behind an Ohio diner counter, and appeared perfectly comfortable taking orders.
“I’ve waited tables before,” the Democratic presidential candidate acknowledged, as she chatted up the Rio Grande, Ohio, restaurant staff and wrote up an order, according to Nytimes.com”
Fox
Wow! She hasn’t even lost yet, but already making threats to steal the election in another state:
“LAREDO, Texas — Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign has raised the possibility of a challenge to Texas’ primary and caucus rules just days before the contest, drawing a warning against legal action from the state’s Democratic Party.” Fox
You libs have a screwy sense of who is REALLY stealing elections.

Well that’s what you do James.
“Max” doesn’t work anymore. Invent a new one.
Gee Max, sorry to hear about you being James. Welcome to the club! (I really think that is what they do when they cannot substantiate their facts or explain their position - call you a horrible troll).
Heckler: “As ranked by whom? A bunch of socialists. They have different values than I. See anyone risking their life to emigrate to Germany? Or Finland?”
The answer to that would be yes. The European Union has enormous immigration. Anybody even partially informed about the world today would be aware of that. Also, I find it interesting that so many people like you talk about the “illegals” coming to take our government benefits. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that more such benefits would potentially attract more people?
I was going to say, dumbest post of the day, but then I saw this:
Max: “Listen to the hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies from the leftist Libs on this blog.”
If this was a different poster, I would have said DNFTT, because (I think) he would be wanting someone to point out the irony here. However, this was probably said without any sense of irony whatsoever. I think Max is sincere.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
“Hello (yawning)”
“Is this President Clinton?” General Benuts.
“Why, yes, it is.” President Clinton
“Sorry to wake you Mrs. President, but we have a real crises on our hands.”
“Oh that’s all right, I had to get up to check on my husband.” President Clinton
“Well mame it’s the darnest thing. North Korea has just invaded the south.” General Benuts.
“Oh I better go find Bill, he has more experience with these things than I do.” President Clinton.
Yes, I do hear the babies crying at the top of their little lungs, now that you mention it.
AmWay you see this link posted above? I was going to post the whole thing until I saw that the Libs cried about your posting long posts yesterday. I didn’t want them to over exert themselves by having to scroll over farther then they normally have to.
Hillary is toast. The only way she can win is to steal the election or to have Obama knocked-off.
Can’t you see her coming in to save the day if something happens? She’d have a big fake tear in her eye, and a big evil smile on her face, as she so reluctantly HAD to accept the nomination. Afterall, she and Obama were so very close and shared the same dream of hope and change and hope and change and hope and change.
Hey Max! Great link. I don’t mind pasting in part:
“‘It is not the amount, Colonel, that I complain of, it is the principle. In the first place, the government ought to have in the Treasury no more than enough for its legitimate purposes. But that has nothing to do with the question. The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be intrusted to man, particularly under our system of collecting revenue by a tariff, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be and the poorer he is, the more he pays in proportion to his means.
What is worse, it presses upon him without his knowledge where the weight centers, for there is not a man in the United States who can ever guess how much he pays to the government. So you see, that while you are contributing to relieve one, you are drawing it from thousands who are even worse off than he. If you had the right to give anything, the amount was simply a matter of discretion with you, and you had as much right to give $20,000,000 as $20,000.
If you had the right to give to one, you have the right to give to all and as the Constitution neither defines charity nor stipulates the amount, you are at liberty to give to any and everything which you may believe, or profess to believe, is a charity, and to any amount you may think proper. You will very easily perceive what a wide door this would open for fraud and corruption and favoritism on the one hand, and for robbing the people on the other. No, Colonel, Congress has no right to give charity.”
Only difference: During Crocket’s day apparently ALL Americans paid a tariff to the federal government. All paid a price for citizenship. All paid to support this great land. Even the poor.
What’s sad Ksagnostic are your pathetic efforts to redistribute not only wealth, but also assets in America.
People in a country of Freedom, are not free to take from one to give to another. If you are not safe and sound in keeping your own hard-earned property, then you are no longer Free.
Freedom though, is NEVER even a talking point for you Socialist Democrats.
Your kind will gladly give up your Freedom in exchange for a false promise of not having to work for a living anymore. You don’t want control of your own lives anymore, as long as you don’t have to work for a living. That pestilent laziness indoctrinated into you from the public school system, has become the primary motivator of your lives.
That is so true Max. Once you train a dog when it will get fed, and where it’s food dish is - it always comes back to it. It no longer hunts for it’s own food. It becomes dependent upon the food handed to it from it’s provider (owner).
In fact, it even if it is hungry - it will return to the empty bowl hoping for a meal.
It may turn to it’s owner with a longing sad face, as if asking for more.
Still evading the question, I see. No surprise there; I can’t decide whether you’re better described as a broken record or a one-trick pony.
Dear Wingnuts,
As usual, nothing for you to offer but name calling and smug denial. I have no doubt that you’ll use your time in the political wilderness to paint yourselves as victims; it’s all you know how to do.
That’s some sophomoric Darwinism you’re peddling. Do you even OWN a dog? If you did, you’d know that they’ll snap up whatever is in front of them, irrespective of whether or not they’re “domesticated.”
All you Wingnuts have are polemics and anecdotes. Anything more is well beyond your argumentative skills.
Freedom is no longer a word you hear from the Democrats.
Dear Max: News today said Bush whould speak to China about abuses of human rights. He will be speaking from a country that holds more prisoners than China, despite having a only third of China’s population. Freedom is freedom, Max, not a slogan drooled by a leader who wants the “freedom” to listen to, log, and mine data from our phone calls.
When my direct questions go unanswered by the Nazi, well, good times ensue! As for my posts, whatever else one thinks of CF2K, it would be hard to claim that my objections aren’t substantive–such as my refutation of your juvenile claim about dogs.
If y’all can’t put up the logic, Wingnuts, don’t blame me for responding with substance-light posts.
When somebody calls me a “socialist” and a “communist,” uses racist terms on a regular basis, and even espouses views that are fairly described as fascist, he gets called a ‘Nazi.’
Max deserves all the abuse he gets. More, probably.
“Freedom though, is NEVER even a talking point for you Socialist Democrats.
“Your kind will gladly give up your Freedom in exchange for a false promise of not having to work for a living anymore. You don’t want control of your own lives anymore, as long as you don’t have to work for a living. That pestilent laziness indoctrinated into you from the public school system, has become the primary motivator of your lives.”
No “hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies” there. No siree.
Max, you really are completely without a sense of irony, aren’t you? There’s your side and the other side and you believe that you are an expert on both.
Since John McCain is an immigrant from Panama does anyone think that will hurt his election chances? Sure he was born to American parents but Republicans are supposed to hate everyone that’s born outside the US who wants to come here and take jobs from people born in America?

A number of hormonal conditions, notably disorders of thyroid function and pituitary dependent Cushing’s disease, are associated with the development of a psychotic illness. Abnormalities of anterior and posterior pituitary hormones are seen in psychotic illness—dysregulation of thyroid and adrenal function is relatively common. Hypothalamic peptides are crucial in hormonal regulation but also have extensive CNS distributions and this is likely to be the focus of future research.
If you turn on your radio today, expect to be infuriated. The Kansas Republican Party has launched a new attack ad against Congresswoman Nancy Boyda - and every sentence is a lie.
Nancy Boyda believes it is wrong for intelligence agencies to spy on Americans without a warrant - but Republicans want the authority to do just that. They want George W. Bush to be able to ignore our checks and balances by eliminating important court oversight of intelligence gathering under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
As Congresswoman Boyda said herself in an op-ed in the Ottawa Herald last weekend, “Please know that, as your representative in Congress, I will vote for a strong FISA bill that protects America while preserving our historic system of checks and balances. Defending America is our nation’s number one priority. There’s just no reason to throw out the Constitution to do it.”
But the Kansas Republican Party isn’t letting the truth stand in the way of an attack ad.
While Republicans in Washington are refusing to meet with Democratic Congressional leaders to address intelligence surveillance, the Republican attack ad claims “Nancy Boyda is choosing partisanship over the security of Kansans.”
THE TRUTH: Republicans have chosen to exploit FISA for political gain instead of protecting America.
Tracy, what do you expect them to do? The republicans believe this bill is important to the security of the United States. (true or untrue)
What else do you expect the minority party to do?
They need Boyda to stop voting partisan politics and vote for what her constituents would want. Nothing new here. Nancy represents me. I was one of the turncoat republicans who switched to put her in congress.
No longer. Her voting record is already worse than Jim Ryun’s IMHO. More earmarks in less time.
Nancy needs to remember me. She won a very narrow election.. 51/49%… Without a few conservatives, she will find herself back in Kansas without red slippers and without Toto.
I’m just one of the crossovers. But I’m crossing back in her case. She is not an independently minded representative. She is purely liberal in her voting.
You do that all the time on here, Reg… I dont think you would get very far, but hey, go for it!! Money is hard for everybody!! Sounds like you are talking creative financing!! LOL
You are a real trip!! I cannot think of one reason why anybody from this Blog would even think of sending a letter to your sister… If you are that concerned about it, take it to the police department… and see what they tell you!
And the paper your “letter” was printed on came from where?? Office Max or Office Depot or Best Buy or.. or.. And that narrows down the identity of the “perp” to how many thousand???
You’re really too much, James…. It isnt funny anymore… just plain sad!!
“Do you know what false public statements are called? Especially when repeated over and over?”

McCain needs the South, so the Republican party needs the South. I think Tanker just took one for the team. Hope it costs him his job, as well as useless Roberts.
Record illegal drug production in Afghanistan supplies the Taliban insurgency with money and arms and the U.S.-backed government must take direct, prompt action against poppy growers, a State Department report said Friday. “Eliminating narcotics cultivation and trafficking in Afghanistan will require a long-term national and international commitment,” the State Department said.
[Uhhh, we knew this years ago, folks, but nothing has been done.]
Afghan President Hamid Karzai considered limited aerial spraying to eradicate opium poppies last year, but opted not to do it, because it would be unpopular with the drug lords that really run the country.
[Don’t you just hate hearing disappointing news from Afghanistan like this year after year, when our national security and the safety of our families is at stake? Wouldn’t you rather hear about the destruction of opium crops by defoliants deployed by American and British airmen, and the filling of Gitmo cells with Afghan drug lords and Taliban terrorists? Wouldn’t you rather hear about a huge slowdown in opium smuggling? Wouldn’t that make you feel a little bit safer?]
“Record illegal drug production in Afghanistan supplies the Taliban insurgency with money and arms and the U.S.-backed government must take direct, prompt action against poppy growers, a State Department report said Friday.” {parkay}
==========================================
Napalm the poppy fields in Afghanistan, and you make a serious dent in the funds used by the Taliban… But, it might cut into illegal drug trafficking in the USA… We wouldnt want that to happen, now would we?? LOL
“Somebody tell me again why it made sense to abandon Afghanistan and send our troops to Iraq.”
You should really ask the Dems who voted to authorize it.
What was the name of that bill again?
Oh, I remember: “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002″
Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer told Congress yesterday that he would not endorse an outright ban on “downer” cows entering the food supply or back stiffer penalties for regulatory violations by meat-processing plants in the wake of the largest beef recall in the nation’s history.
BDP Fleettwood loves to pretend that the Democratic approval to give the President authority to go to war in Iraq is the same as approving the decision to go to war.
Using that reasoning, RepubliCONs are responsible for making abortion legal, because they don’t outlaw it.
My buddy Cam finds two interesting comments from Obama and his people regarding the Second Amendment.
Responding to criticism that Obama has since changed his position on gun control, his campaign declares that “Obama has been consistent.”
In another article, it states, “Obama also said he no longer supported broad licensing and registering of firearms, as he did when he was in the Illinois Senate.”
Cam and I discussed this last night. Obama says he supports the Second Amendment, but didn’t sign an amicus brief that opposed the D.C. gun ban. He never voted in favor of gun owners in the state legislature (NRA rating: F; Illinois Citizens for Handgun Control Rating: A), and since getting to the Senate, has voted in favor of gun owners exactly once (opposing confiscation of firearms after Katrina).
Ironically, those who support gun control are concluding that Obama is turning into a sellout on this issue.
I know it’s hard for you to wrap your mind around a candidate who actually admits he has changed a position, Max.
Unlike Bush and his pledge
* not to engage in “nation building”
* to mandate CO2 reduction
* to reduce spending and pay down debt
* that his judges should get an “up or down” vote (unless it’s Harriet Miers)
* to protect us from “tons and tons” of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
* that the war would only cost 1.5 billion and then be funded by Iraqi oil

We made the mistake of giving Bush the club to use to force Saddam to allow inspectors in. Saddam caved - he allowed them in. Then, because they found that there was nothing there WE chased them out so we could invade.
I submit that Bush abused the authority he was given. I also note that it was foolish for congress to have trusted him to act in the best interest of the US which he clearly did NOT do.
Max.. read ALL of what Obama says about the 2nd amendment… He might not have signed the amicus brief on the DC gun issue… BUT… he also said that he would support the decision of the Court… Why dont you report THAT information?? Why must you be so flamin dishonest??

Ok Chas, look at all Obama has said over the last several years on guns. And then look at how he has VOTED. What he says TODAY to get elected, is NOT what he has said in the past, nor how he has voted in the past.

Obama, when it came to a crucial moment to defend the 2nd Amendment, didn’t.
And that’s not the first time Obama failed to defend the 2nd Amendment.
In his beloved state of Illinois, you have the NIU shootings and the Mall shooting both in the last couple of months. In gun-free zones. In a state with NO concealed carry. In a state where Obama voted for gun registration.

Today in our statehouse:
JUDGES CANNOT DEPART FROM SENTENCING GUIDELINES The House today passed a bill restricting judges’ discretion in departing downward from the state’s sentencing guidelines in certain violent criminal cases. The legislation was a response to a series of controversial decisions by Shawnee County District Court judges last year in which sexual offenders were given probation instead of the prescribed prison time. The bill says that a judge cannot reduce the length of a sentence to less than 50% of the center of the range prescribed in the guidelines for the convicted offense. Any felony that is a severity level 1 to 4 on the nondrug grid with a criminal history score of A or B cannot have a downward departure without a mitigating factor from

I watched an old movie last night instead of paying attention to WE Blog. Here’s a line from that movie:
“Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.We’d put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, ’till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eating each other.In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse… until this little picnic tonight.And you know, there wasn’t one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived.
It sounded familiar.
sharks — biologically untrue.

BTW, pretty descriptive words, and your point (and the author’s) is well made.
Hank -
That should be required reading, annually, for every member of Congress.
Of course, we’ve long since abandoned any concept of limited government; that went out with the New Deal in the 30’s. Since that time, the Constitution has to Congress been mostly something to give lip service to, not any limitation on their authority.

Yeah, tacky of me not to credit King or Welles. (I haven’t read the book. Was that speech in the novel or did Orson adapt it for the film?)

It will be reversed one way or the other. Either we fix it now, or the Socialist Model will destroy itself - and lead America to the Greatest Depression ever seen in the history of this country.
Encouraging people not to work, not to be productive, has led to the destruction of American manufacturing, the exportation of jobs.
Practically nothing is made in the USA anymore. And this has greatly weakened this country to the point where we are living on fumes of wealth created by the hard-working Americans of the past, and living on a National Debt to be paid by later generations.
The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.
Mark Twain
Here’s a little more info regarding the story Heckler linked to above:

Not Yours to Give
Col. Davy Crockett
1884
From The Life of Colonel David Crockett
Member of the U.S. Congress 1827-31 & 1832-35
Compiled from The Life of Colonel David Crockett
by Edward S. Ellis (Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1884)
Practically nothing is made in the USA anymore — Max.
Hey Max, I believe the U.S. still manufactures more than any other nation. Even your Toyota.
The New Deal redirected power in America AWAY from the Robber Barons and back towards the general population.
Without the New Deal, America would look very much today as Mexico does.
God; is Max in fantasy world or what?
JR,
Or, as Italy and Germany did in the 1930’s. That is, if Max the Nazi gets his way.
Oh ok Sarah.
Then I don’t want to hear anymore complaining about the lack of good paying jobs in America.
Max,
Do you ever work? Seems like you have all day, every day, to sit on your fat ass and talk shit about other people. Are you a millionaire or on disability? Either way, you’re a recipient of public assistance.
CFUK,
I’ve joined your Socialist party so I could blog all day just like you.
CF2K,
Max’s “people” are handling his business. ;)
Dear Nazi who rapes children–sorry, Dear MAX,
If you knew ANYTHING about socialism, you’d know that its purer version, communism, puts the emphasis on LABOR rather than on consumption: “from each according to his abilities” and all that.
That you don’t appear to know this strongly suggests that you are, well, a Nazin shill–just as I’ve often said.
Are the socialists the ones who took us into Iraq? Just wondering, since that appears to be our greatest money drain at the moment and could very well lead to the next Great Depression.
RD,
Ouch, and ouch.
http://wichita.craigslist.org/zip/588723139.html
Darn it didn’t work as a clickable link.
Anywho, the old Palace theatre on East Kellogg is giving away their theatre seats if anyone is interested. The link is to craigslist and the info is there.
Of course CFUK is reduced to his “NAZI” attack. He has no clue what it means to be self-reliant, to not wish for something from someone else, to actually lift a hand to feed himself, or to Volunteer to help others.
Instead he advocates the continued compulsion of charity from others who earn a living, through the coercion of the “free” State’s power to tax without limit, and redistribute wealth and spread corruption throughout the land.
This approach is much closer to the NAZI tactics CF so frequently relishes in.
CF would love the “purer” Socialist form - Communism.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is the ultimate dream of CF.
This would encourage low-lifes like CF to prosper in spite of their lack of will to take care of themselves.
Free-bootin and living off the fat of the land.
Oh cool it DID work.
And JR jumps at the chance for free theatre seats! Deadbeats really need free chairs so that they can sit down.
Free-bootin, living off the fat of the land!
“Free-bootin and living off the fat of the land.”
Well that’s what you do James.
“Max” doesn’t work anymore. Invent a new one.
Max’s Words of WisDumb:
“Either we fix it now, or the Socialist Model will destroy itself - and lead America to the Greatest Depression ever seen in the history of this country.”
Yeah, good point, Max. If only there were a way to test this theory that “more socialism = ruined economy.”
I got it–look at Old Europe with it’s punishing tax bites and womb-to-tomb state nannyism.
The Euro has almost doubled in value against the US dollar in the last decade check
Longer life-span due to less stress, more infrastructure, and better health care check
Higher standard of living for the middle class check
Better education system check
Stronger unions (Wal-Mart in Germany is unionized) means more vacation time, better pay and benefits check
Nationalized health-care means longer life-span and more competative business (since they don’t have to pay for it) check
Ranking of standard-of-living consistently put the most socialized countries in the top-ten — US is NOT in the top ten check
******
So you’re right, Max. Socialism does mean economic ruin.
Unfortunately, you only lack one thing to prove that–any evidence whatsoever.
Dear Nazi,
Answer my question: given your evident leisure to post all day long, every day, are you receiving public assistance in the form of welfare (something of which I approve for those who need it) or in the form of corporate welfare, whose recipients are invariably undeserving parasites like yourself?
Either way, you’re a taker rather than a giver. You give parasites and Nazis a bad name, Max.
Interesting that you’d bring that up, CF2K.
Here’s what popped up today on my browser:
50% of Companies Fire Workers for THIS
Uh oh. You know all that personal e-mail you read and send from work, not to mention the Web surfing you do when you’re bored? Yeah, you might want to stop all that. Now. Fully 50 percent of U.S. companies say they have fired employees for abusing e-mail and Web use at work. That’s the word from a new survey of 304 U.S. companies of all sizes that was conducted by the American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute. Specifically, more than a quarter of companies have fired workers for misusing e-mail and a third have fired employees for misusing the Internet on the job, reports InfoWorld.
. . . .
Big brother is watching you–and probably hasn’t told you. Fully two-thirds of all U.S. companies monitor what their employees are doing on the Internet and almost as many use software to block inappropriate Web sites. Only two states require companies to notify their workers they are being watched. Eighteen percent of the companies block URLs to prevent workers from visiting external blogs, notes InfoWorld. This is how your company is monitoring you:
–45 percent: Track content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard
–43 percent: Store and review computer files
–12 percent: Monitor blogs to track content about the company
–10 percent: Monitor social networking sites.
******
But don’t worry, Max. When you get fired for excessive blogging from work, we’ll still be here fighting for your unemployment benefits and COBRA health care (such as they are under BushCo).
As the owner of my own companies, I’m going to have to start doing the above to my employees (myself).
And with that said, I’d better get back to work, before my employer catches me playing on WEBlog. She’s such a biatch!
Capn
“Ranking of standard-of-living consistently put the most socialized countries in the top-ten — US is NOT in the top ten check”
As ranked by whom? A bunch of socialists. They have different values than I. See anyone risking their life to emigrate to Germany? Or Finland?
******
Heckler - Yeah actually, the displaced Iraqis are risking their lives to get to Germany, Finland, etc.
BTW, your post about Crockett was great, I’d seen it before. And I’m sure you were thinking when you posted it about all these “social programs” that we’re wasting our money on. However, doesn’t it bother you that Bush has defiled the Constitution by invading our privacy, offering no bid contracts to his buddies, and getting us into a war by lying?
TDT
Explain to me how Bush has invaded my privacy.
And if Bush lied so did a whole bunch of prominent democrats, many of them years before Bush did. Move on.
“See anyone risking their life to emigrate to Germany? Or Finland?”
Yes. It was called East Germany, remember?
Now that the West shared its wealth and rebuilt the former East bloc, they don’t need to crash the borders any more.
Too bad we can’t do the same thing with Mexico and points south.
But, hey, we can’t even do it within our own borders . . .
Might reduce Paris Hilton’s tax cut.
Heckler,
If Bush has spied on any American citizen without a FISA warrant–which he has–then he’s been invading the privacy of American citizens. Whether or not personally happen to be one of them is quite beside the point.
Heckler–
That’s the beauty of it.
They can invade your privacy and they don’t even have to tell you.
Besides, even your buddies at the CATO Institute don’t like warrantless spying on Americans . . .
Had to laugh at this one. I guess Hillary’s experience hosting official dinners gives her experience over Mrs. Obama at handling official dignatary functions.
How do Hillary supporters justify this?
“a new Clinton ad that features images of sleeping children and asks voters who they want “answering the phone” during a crisis. The ad highlights the Clinton argument that she is tested and ready to handle the demands of the Oval Office.” Fox
Would like cream or sugar? HA-HA!
Listen to the hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies from the leftist Libs on this blog.
Helpless, hopeless, unable and unwilling to take responsibility for themselves. They NEED Big Brother Government to take care of them, because they are too inept to care for themselves. They are nothing but theives, using the Government to steal for them.
Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you.
Makes you aspire to be a Liberal doesn’t it?
What’s this? Problems in the party which claims republicans are racists?
“Black superdelegates supporting Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination say they are facing intense harassment from other blacks who want them to switch their support to Barack Obama.”
“African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II told Politico.com, describing the threats as coming in the form of “nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.” Fox
How can this be?
Makes you aspire to be a Liberal doesn’t it?
Not really Max. When I think about them, I keep getting this image in my head of screaming, crying babies - begging to be fed.
As an empty nester, I do not miss those days.
FOUND IT! The reference to Hillary’s vast experience:
“Hillary Clinton on Thursday stepped behind an Ohio diner counter, and appeared perfectly comfortable taking orders.
“I’ve waited tables before,” the Democratic presidential candidate acknowledged, as she chatted up the Rio Grande, Ohio, restaurant staff and wrote up an order, according to Nytimes.com”
Fox
Wow! She hasn’t even lost yet, but already making threats to steal the election in another state:
“LAREDO, Texas — Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign has raised the possibility of a challenge to Texas’ primary and caucus rules just days before the contest, drawing a warning against legal action from the state’s Democratic Party.” Fox
You libs have a screwy sense of who is REALLY stealing elections.
Fox is not a reliable source, American.

Well that’s what you do James.
“Max” doesn’t work anymore. Invent a new one.
Gee Max, sorry to hear about you being James. Welcome to the club! (I really think that is what they do when they cannot substantiate their facts or explain their position - call you a horrible troll).
Sarah: Wake up. The above are quotes from the candidates or others themselves.
Google it lady. You will see AP or UPI stories to confirm it.
Would you like me to post a dozen or so OTHER links?
;-)
Heckler: “As ranked by whom? A bunch of socialists. They have different values than I. See anyone risking their life to emigrate to Germany? Or Finland?”
The answer to that would be yes. The European Union has enormous immigration. Anybody even partially informed about the world today would be aware of that. Also, I find it interesting that so many people like you talk about the “illegals” coming to take our government benefits. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that more such benefits would potentially attract more people?
I was going to say, dumbest post of the day, but then I saw this:
Max: “Listen to the hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies from the leftist Libs on this blog.”
If this was a different poster, I would have said DNFTT, because (I think) he would be wanting someone to point out the irony here. However, this was probably said without any sense of irony whatsoever. I think Max is sincere.
And that’s what’s sad.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
“Hello (yawning)”
“Is this President Clinton?” General Benuts.
“Why, yes, it is.” President Clinton
“Sorry to wake you Mrs. President, but we have a real crises on our hands.”
“Oh that’s all right, I had to get up to check on my husband.” President Clinton
“Well mame it’s the darnest thing. North Korea has just invaded the south.” General Benuts.
“Oh I better go find Bill, he has more experience with these things than I do.” President Clinton.
“And that’s the way it was,” W. Cronkite……
AmWay, we are all James, I guess.
Yes, I do hear the babies crying at the top of their little lungs, now that you mention it.
AmWay you see this link posted above? I was going to post the whole thing until I saw that the Libs cried about your posting long posts yesterday. I didn’t want them to over exert themselves by having to scroll over farther then they normally have to.

AmWay,
Hillary is toast. The only way she can win is to steal the election or to have Obama knocked-off.
Can’t you see her coming in to save the day if something happens? She’d have a big fake tear in her eye, and a big evil smile on her face, as she so reluctantly HAD to accept the nomination. Afterall, she and Obama were so very close and shared the same dream of hope and change and hope and change and hope and change.

Hey Max! Great link. I don’t mind pasting in part:
“‘It is not the amount, Colonel, that I complain of, it is the principle. In the first place, the government ought to have in the Treasury no more than enough for its legitimate purposes. But that has nothing to do with the question. The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be intrusted to man, particularly under our system of collecting revenue by a tariff, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be and the poorer he is, the more he pays in proportion to his means.
What is worse, it presses upon him without his knowledge where the weight centers, for there is not a man in the United States who can ever guess how much he pays to the government. So you see, that while you are contributing to relieve one, you are drawing it from thousands who are even worse off than he. If you had the right to give anything, the amount was simply a matter of discretion with you, and you had as much right to give $20,000,000 as $20,000.
If you had the right to give to one, you have the right to give to all and as the Constitution neither defines charity nor stipulates the amount, you are at liberty to give to any and everything which you may believe, or profess to believe, is a charity, and to any amount you may think proper. You will very easily perceive what a wide door this would open for fraud and corruption and favoritism on the one hand, and for robbing the people on the other. No, Colonel, Congress has no right to give charity.”
Only difference: During Crocket’s day apparently ALL Americans paid a tariff to the federal government. All paid a price for citizenship. All paid to support this great land. Even the poor.
Not so today!
What’s sad Ksagnostic are your pathetic efforts to redistribute not only wealth, but also assets in America.
People in a country of Freedom, are not free to take from one to give to another. If you are not safe and sound in keeping your own hard-earned property, then you are no longer Free.
Freedom though, is NEVER even a talking point for you Socialist Democrats.
Your kind will gladly give up your Freedom in exchange for a false promise of not having to work for a living anymore. You don’t want control of your own lives anymore, as long as you don’t have to work for a living. That pestilent laziness indoctrinated into you from the public school system, has become the primary motivator of your lives.
Great post AmWay.
My how things have changed in 150 years. Freedom is no longer a word you hear from the Democrats.
When is the last time Clinton or Obama even pretended to utter the word?
” hope and change and hope and change and hope and change.”
Hey Max! Which comes first?
Change then hope?
Or Hope then change?
I listened to the tape recording over and over again. I played it backwards and forwards.
There’s nothing on it but the two words.
So I was curious in which order will the candidates act upon them.
There is no “hope” just “change”.
My how things have changed in 150 years.
That is so true Max. Once you train a dog when it will get fed, and where it’s food dish is - it always comes back to it. It no longer hunts for it’s own food. It becomes dependent upon the food handed to it from it’s provider (owner).
In fact, it even if it is hungry - it will return to the empty bowl hoping for a meal.
It may turn to it’s owner with a longing sad face, as if asking for more.
But it won’t hunt anymore.
Dear Nazi,
Still evading the question, I see. No surprise there; I can’t decide whether you’re better described as a broken record or a one-trick pony.
Dear Wingnuts,
As usual, nothing for you to offer but name calling and smug denial. I have no doubt that you’ll use your time in the political wilderness to paint yourselves as victims; it’s all you know how to do.
All I can hear on the tape AmWay is:

And the light gleaming from the shiny gold pocket watch as it swings back and forth, and back and forth, is all I can see.
American Way,
That’s some sophomoric Darwinism you’re peddling. Do you even OWN a dog? If you did, you’d know that they’ll snap up whatever is in front of them, irrespective of whether or not they’re “domesticated.”
All you Wingnuts have are polemics and anecdotes. Anything more is well beyond your argumentative skills.
Dear Nazi,
Dumb and stubborn isn’t a terribly fortuitous combination. But that’s obviously a point that’s lost on you, given your stupidity and stubbornness.
Wow CF2K YOU ROCK!
You managed to call someone “nazi” and “wingnuts”
and then post this:
“As usual, nothing for you to offer but name calling”
Hypo- Hypo- Hypo, now what’s the rest of that word? Crite!
They are coming to take you away!
HA-HA! HO-HO! HE-HE!

CF2K meet pot
Kettle meet CF2K.
CF2K, in real life, when you meet someone and want to engage in conversation, do you customarily start off by calling them a name?
Like, “Hey Nazi!”
And do you regularly get a response?
I wouldn’t respond.
Freedom is no longer a word you hear from the Democrats.
Dear Max: News today said Bush whould speak to China about abuses of human rights. He will be speaking from a country that holds more prisoners than China, despite having a only third of China’s population. Freedom is freedom, Max, not a slogan drooled by a leader who wants the “freedom” to listen to, log, and mine data from our phone calls.
AmWay,
When my direct questions go unanswered by the Nazi, well, good times ensue! As for my posts, whatever else one thinks of CF2K, it would be hard to claim that my objections aren’t substantive–such as my refutation of your juvenile claim about dogs.
If y’all can’t put up the logic, Wingnuts, don’t blame me for responding with substance-light posts.
AmWay,
When somebody calls me a “socialist” and a “communist,” uses racist terms on a regular basis, and even espouses views that are fairly described as fascist, he gets called a ‘Nazi.’
Max deserves all the abuse he gets. More, probably.
“Freedom though, is NEVER even a talking point for you Socialist Democrats.

No “hate, jealousy, contempt, vitriol, and lies” there. No siree.
Max, you really are completely without a sense of irony, aren’t you? There’s your side and the other side and you believe that you are an expert on both.
You’re not. You are projecting.
“from a country that holds more prisoners than China,”
Sarah, use your noodle. Do you want the USA to release a few convicted criminals so we have less?
Since John McCain is an immigrant from Panama does anyone think that will hurt his election chances? Sure he was born to American parents but Republicans are supposed to hate everyone that’s born outside the US who wants to come here and take jobs from people born in America?
Hey, Regular, are you back yet?

Oh well, at least you confirmed that you’re hormonally imbalanced.

Endocrinology and psychosis
I N Ferrier
Medical Research Council, Neuroendocrinology Unit, Newcastle General Hospital Newcastle upon Tyne
A number of hormonal conditions, notably disorders of thyroid function and pituitary dependent Cushing’s disease, are associated with the development of a psychotic illness. Abnormalities of anterior and posterior pituitary hormones are seen in psychotic illness—dysregulation of thyroid and adrenal function is relatively common. Hypothalamic peptides are crucial in hormonal regulation but also have extensive CNS distributions and this is likely to be the focus of future research.
Sarah: 1% of the American polulation is in the penal system, 10 times greater % than anywhere else in the “free” world. I wonder why!
Good research Capn, too bad you are way off mark with your innuendo.
If you turn on your radio today, expect to be infuriated. The Kansas Republican Party has launched a new attack ad against Congresswoman Nancy Boyda - and every sentence is a lie.
Nancy Boyda believes it is wrong for intelligence agencies to spy on Americans without a warrant - but Republicans want the authority to do just that. They want George W. Bush to be able to ignore our checks and balances by eliminating important court oversight of intelligence gathering under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
As Congresswoman Boyda said herself in an op-ed in the Ottawa Herald last weekend, “Please know that, as your representative in Congress, I will vote for a strong FISA bill that protects America while preserving our historic system of checks and balances. Defending America is our nation’s number one priority. There’s just no reason to throw out the Constitution to do it.”
But the Kansas Republican Party isn’t letting the truth stand in the way of an attack ad.
While Republicans in Washington are refusing to meet with Democratic Congressional leaders to address intelligence surveillance, the Republican attack ad claims “Nancy Boyda is choosing partisanship over the security of Kansans.”
THE TRUTH: Republicans have chosen to exploit FISA for political gain instead of protecting America.
Reg–
Thanks for proving your point by simply giving us “your word” that what I posted doesn’t apply to you.
We all know what that’s worth.
Tracy–
Don’t sweat it. Even sleep-walking Kansans know what the Republicans are — liars — and what they deal in — lies.
That’s why Boyda won in the first place.
Tracy, what do you expect them to do? The republicans believe this bill is important to the security of the United States. (true or untrue)
What else do you expect the minority party to do?
They need Boyda to stop voting partisan politics and vote for what her constituents would want. Nothing new here. Nancy represents me. I was one of the turncoat republicans who switched to put her in congress.
No longer. Her voting record is already worse than Jim Ryun’s IMHO. More earmarks in less time.
Nancy needs to remember me. She won a very narrow election.. 51/49%… Without a few conservatives, she will find herself back in Kansas without red slippers and without Toto.
Nancy canNOT vote party line.
remember people like me vice remember me.
I’m just one of the crossovers. But I’m crossing back in her case. She is not an independently minded representative. She is purely liberal in her voting.
Her constituents are not.
Capn,
Are you now trying to put my medical information on the World Wide Web and this blog?
It appears to be heading that way.
Do you really want to lose everything you have Capn?
Or are you just belligerently stupid?
“Do you really want to lose everything you have Capn?”
Jeez, that sounds like a threat, Capn’.
Hey James when are you calling that meetup for you and your sock puppet posters?
Reg — I do believe you posted your own medical concerns here on the Blog earlier today…
We are waiting on invitation to your house JR. So we can have access to the free computer you were provided.
Doesn’t matter Chas,
Capn, JR, WSClark and even use have implied that I am insane and on medication for said condition.
Do you know what false public statements are called? Especially when repeated over and over?
And a letter is sent to my sister saying that I’m insane and need in of medical help?
I’m very sure, I could drain the pocketbooks of each and everyone of the posters making the accusations that are false.
You willing to test that Chas?
Oh OUCH James.
I bought my computer.
You should have your meetup at your house.
Since you already gave out the address that time.
And all the attendees are already there!
Chas=Monkeyhawk
Heh heh
Yeah go file for damages against J R.
Feeb.
You do that all the time on here, Reg… I dont think you would get very far, but hey, go for it!! Money is hard for everybody!! Sounds like you are talking creative financing!! LOL
You are a real trip!! I cannot think of one reason why anybody from this Blog would even think of sending a letter to your sister… If you are that concerned about it, take it to the police department… and see what they tell you!
“Capn, JR, WSClark and even use have implied that I am insane and on medication for said condition.”
No, we said that you are insane and SHOULD be on medication for your condition.
And……………..
Spy vs Spy = McCluer.
The police department has a copy Chas.
spy v spy is someone else, I don’t know who.
How did your attempt to have the Blog shitdown go, McCreepy?
Not so good, eh?
Looks like Airbush McCain has beat out Tanker Todd!
“spy v spy is someone else, I don’t know who.”
Yeah, right.
I see the blog thugs are going after it again.
Tired of playing.
I’ll lay in wait for their fatal mistake.
“shitdown go”
Shitdown or shutdown, what’s the diff?
“I’ll lay in wait for their fatal mistake.”
Damn, I am worried now - wadda ya gonna do, McCreepy, beat me up?
And the paper your “letter” was printed on came from where?? Office Max or Office Depot or Best Buy or.. or.. And that narrows down the identity of the “perp” to how many thousand???
You’re really too much, James…. It isnt funny anymore… just plain sad!!

Record illegal drug production in Afghanistan supplies the Taliban insurgency with money and arms and the U.S.-backed government must take direct, prompt action against poppy growers, a State Department report said Friday. “Eliminating narcotics cultivation and trafficking in Afghanistan will require a long-term national and international commitment,” the State Department said.
[Uhhh, we knew this years ago, folks, but nothing has been done.]
Afghan President Hamid Karzai considered limited aerial spraying to eradicate opium poppies last year, but opted not to do it, because it would be unpopular with the drug lords that really run the country.
[Don’t you just hate hearing disappointing news from Afghanistan like this year after year, when our national security and the safety of our families is at stake? Wouldn’t you rather hear about the destruction of opium crops by defoliants deployed by American and British airmen, and the filling of Gitmo cells with Afghan drug lords and Taliban terrorists? Wouldn’t you rather hear about a huge slowdown in opium smuggling? Wouldn’t that make you feel a little bit safer?]
Sarah, I suppose you would be happy to let 2 million convicts out of prison.
Go ahead, but release them in your backyard, not mine.
Parkay - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Somebody tell me again why it made sense to abandon Afghanistan and send our troops to Iraq.
“Record illegal drug production in Afghanistan supplies the Taliban insurgency with money and arms and the U.S.-backed government must take direct, prompt action against poppy growers, a State Department report said Friday.” {parkay}
==========================================
Napalm the poppy fields in Afghanistan, and you make a serious dent in the funds used by the Taliban… But, it might cut into illegal drug trafficking in the USA… We wouldnt want that to happen, now would we?? LOL

“Sick and dead cattle can be used for food,” says Bush’s USDA.
Not only does it put our consumers at risk, it gives foreign countries an excellent reason to outlaw the one thing we still do well here–raise cattle.
“Somebody tell me again why it made sense to abandon Afghanistan and send our troops to Iraq.”
You should really ask the Dems who voted to authorize it.
What was the name of that bill again?
Oh, I remember: “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002″
Pretty transparent, eh?
Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer told Congress yesterday that he would not endorse an outright ban on “downer” cows entering the food supply or back stiffer penalties for regulatory violations by meat-processing plants in the wake of the largest beef recall in the nation’s history.
BDP Fleettwood loves to pretend that the Democratic approval to give the President authority to go to war in Iraq is the same as approving the decision to go to war.
Using that reasoning, RepubliCONs are responsible for making abortion legal, because they don’t outlaw it.
Yeah Fleetwood, it’s not like the Democrats voted 5 times to actually fund the Iraq war……
Oh, that’s right. They did.
CapN — Shhhhhhhh — dont tell him that!! Its supposed to be a “secret” LOL
Max wants the Democrats in Congress to commit political suicide by cutting funds to troops.
Sorry, douche-bag. They oppose the war but they aren’t idiots.
Authority/decision
You twist yourself in knots.
“They oppose the war but they aren’t idiots.”
Take some responsibility.
I know, BDP Fleettwood.
It must be tough only to see pure white and pure black.
I didn’t mean to confuse you.
Consider this, BDP, “light can be proven to be composed of particles and it can be proven to be composed of waves.”
Don’t hurt yourself thinking about that.
Dippity do dah, dippity day,
What’s my position on
Gun Control today?

BARACK OBAMA
Obama’s Flip-Flopping On Gun Rights
My buddy Cam finds two interesting comments from Obama and his people regarding the Second Amendment.
Responding to criticism that Obama has since changed his position on gun control, his campaign declares that “Obama has been consistent.”
In another article, it states, “Obama also said he no longer supported broad licensing and registering of firearms, as he did when he was in the Illinois Senate.”
Cam and I discussed this last night. Obama says he supports the Second Amendment, but didn’t sign an amicus brief that opposed the D.C. gun ban. He never voted in favor of gun owners in the state legislature (NRA rating: F; Illinois Citizens for Handgun Control Rating: A), and since getting to the Senate, has voted in favor of gun owners exactly once (opposing confiscation of firearms after Katrina).
Ironically, those who support gun control are concluding that Obama is turning into a sellout on this issue.

We authorized Bush to go to war, but we didn’t think he would.
Who’s the BDP?
I know it’s hard for you to wrap your mind around a candidate who actually admits he has changed a position, Max.
Unlike Bush and his pledge
* not to engage in “nation building”
* to mandate CO2 reduction
* to reduce spending and pay down debt
* that his judges should get an “up or down” vote (unless it’s Harriet Miers)
* to protect us from “tons and tons” of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
* that the war would only cost 1.5 billion and then be funded by Iraqi oil
It was a mistake obviously, BDP, to trust Bush about anything.
But in 10 months, Worst. President. Ever. will be Worst. President. Ever. (retired)
Obama Boy
I was walking down the street on a sunny day
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Fellin’ in my bones that I had my way
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Well I’m a Obama boy, I’m a Obama boy
Oh ain’t it good when things are going you way
Hey! Hey!
Well my little dog Hillary got hit by a car
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
I put her guts in a bag and stuffed her in a drawer
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Oh, I’m a Obama boy, (yes I am!), I’m a Obama boy
Ain’t it good when things are going you way
Hey! Hey!
I forgot all about her for a month and a half
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
I looked in the drawer and started to laugh
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
‘Cause I’m a Obama boy (Obama boy!)
Yes, I’m a Obama boy (Obama boy!)
Ain’t it good when things are going you way
Hey! Hey!
We made the mistake of giving Bush the club to use to force Saddam to allow inspectors in. Saddam caved - he allowed them in. Then, because they found that there was nothing there WE chased them out so we could invade.
I submit that Bush abused the authority he was given. I also note that it was foolish for congress to have trusted him to act in the best interest of the US which he clearly did NOT do.
Max.. read ALL of what Obama says about the 2nd amendment… He might not have signed the amicus brief on the DC gun issue… BUT… he also said that he would support the decision of the Court… Why dont you report THAT information?? Why must you be so flamin dishonest??
Besides, if Obama isnt a member of the Bar of SCOTUS he couldnt sign on to the brief anyway!!
Moot point there, eh, Max??

“Do you know what false public statements are called? Especially when repeated over and over?”
=====================
Ummmm Those would be called Regular posts about my profession which have appeared with great frequency on this Blog LOL You tread on your own thin ice, James… He who live in glass house should not throw stones…
————————————
Okay Chas,
When the times comes I find out who you are, then you won’t mind the pain that comes with it when someone unscrupulous posts your private information on the blog.
Thats OK Regular… You wont find that out… at least not by legal means… :-|
Obama seems to drift around somewhat on his gun control position.

Ok Chas, look at all Obama has said over the last several years on guns. And then look at how he has VOTED. What he says TODAY to get elected, is NOT what he has said in the past, nor how he has voted in the past.
I’ve posted on this several times before Chas. Catch up!
Or do some research of your own.

“When the times comes I find out who you are, then you won’t mind the pain that comes with it when someone unscrupulous posts your private information on the blog.”
Actually, McCreepy, YOU went fishing around in my genealogical records, but who is counting?
You already know my name, etc., so why don’t you just out me, McCluer?
Go ahead - post my address and phone number.
Go for it, fat man.
Ummm Hud — Would that be his position on gun control, or what he thinks of the NRA??? The two arent the same, ya know??
It would be his position. Read.

===============================================
Wrong again Chas! You were at least 0 for 8 with GMC today on another topic. You are 0 for 2 in the last hour.
Again, I posted on this before. All Members of Congress are entitled to file an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court.
Obama, when it came to a crucial moment to defend the 2nd Amendment, didn’t.
And that’s not the first time Obama failed to defend the 2nd Amendment.
In his beloved state of Illinois, you have the NIU shootings and the Mall shooting both in the last couple of months. In gun-free zones. In a state with NO concealed carry. In a state where Obama voted for gun registration.
Wear rose colored glasses or look at Obama’s record.
But don’t LIE about Obama supporting gun rights.
Lying is a SIN you know.
Chas can’t read anything that DOES NOT support his view HUD.
Say I notice Chas you used almost the same words and THE SAME argument that Monkey Hawk used the other day on Obama’s 2nd Amendment position.
Chas, are you Monkey Hawk?
I remember reading that Max about members of Congress being able to sign the Supreme Court Amicus brief.
But you know those Leftist Libs, they re-invent history and hoping people won’t catch them in repeating their lies.
Max, you use many of the same points with the same language as AmWay.
Are you AmWay Max?
He never denied it Max, now did he. Of course, he will deny it now, lying is nothing new to Chas.
We already know who you are McCreepy: the fat man with ever changing nicknames, nic stealing troll and whining cry baby because people hurt his little feelings.
That, and a dumbass loser.
Actually, anybody can file an Amicus Brief, if they follow all the rules and get both parties of the case to agree.
Look at all the briefs filed in this case. Probably hundreds at this point.
But Obama couldn’t bother to even sign his name to the one that over 400 members of Congress signed.
No I’m not AmWay or Regular or Kansas or anyone else.
Regular gets blamed for every conservative post here though. If that was true, he must be pure GENIUS!
Nice post above Regular or I mean Jimmy Johnson.
Hell Regular, you will get blamed for it no matter who posted it!
Clark, you and Chas sound a lot alike.
And now YOU are defending Chas. Are you Chas?
Clark and Chas seem to always be posting at the same time.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………………
Yeah Max, I appear to be everywhere at the same time.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Now that’s really intelligent!
Max are you Nathan?
Check this link out on Obama:
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4365942&page=1
How can you be in two places at once when you’re not anywhere at all?
Hahahahahah
American, of the USA
Much ado about nothing!
“Nice post above Regular or I mean Jimmy Johnson”
The difference is, Max, that “Regular” admits to using multiple nics, nic stealing and nic switching.
He is the ONLY poster that does that.
That makes him a big, fat loser.
He MIGHT get a little respect if he had the guts to use just one nic and stick with it.
But, he doesn’t, therefore, no respect.
Chicago is one of the dirtiest political Cities in the nation American Way. I bet if one looks hard enough, Obama has unclean hands.
I am not American Way. I am American, of the USA!
But that’s OK!
Kansas! Much to do about nothing? How so?
Phoenix is one of the dirtiest political Cities in the nation Any Way. I bet if one looks hard enough, McCain has unclean hands.
Whoops! That’s right, McCain has already shown that he has unclean hands.
My bad.
There is only one poster on this entire blog.
The WE is just trying to make it appear that anyone reads this Liberal rag newspaper site.
Whoops!
Might get fired now.
It must have been the janitor that posted that 7:18 comment.
I was out for a smoke just now.
The Repubs have lowered the bar so much for Georgy Porgy that it really doesn’t matter how “unclean” (a most bigotted coment by the way) a candidate is.
I notice CFUK doesn’t post in the evenings or on weekends.
He only posts from work, while he is supposed to be working.
Blog Editor = Regular = McCluer = Republican = Republikhan = TT = JM = many, many more…….
Hey Kansas. George isn’t running!!!!!!!! Duh!!!
Well, we know Kansas is not CapnAmerica, he’s a good speller.
He would have spelled “bigoted” the proper way.
I would look again in other posts to see who spells it that way.
Hey Obama supporters,
Hey if your candidate has dirt maybe you better clean it up, huh?
Aren’t you the guy that called other posters “cowards” for not using their real names on the Blog, Regular?
Yeah, I seem to remember that.
So, is your REAL name Regular?
I am guessing not.
Hey John W McBush supporters,
Hey if your candidate has dirt maybe you better clean it up, huh?
Lots of arm flailing by the Pubes tonight!
Max, let’s see some kind of a link on that issue of the Amicus Brief… You’re mostly all talk… let’s see something credible for a change…
And, BTW, I was NOT wrong on my issue with GMC… I posted the document… Go read it again, dunce…
But, thats OK Max… we all know you LIE a lot anyway… Hey, better go see if the sky is falling yet!! LOL
Chas, later I’ll repost all of my Amicus Breif posts since you are too lazy to go look them up, and you were to lazy to read them the first time.
Chas, I don’t lie. You do.
And that’s a horrible SIN you know.
Oh, Chas is Sugar too. Right Chas?
Today in our statehouse:
JUDGES CANNOT DEPART FROM SENTENCING GUIDELINES The House today passed a bill restricting judges’ discretion in departing downward from the state’s sentencing guidelines in certain violent criminal cases. The legislation was a response to a series of controversial decisions by Shawnee County District Court judges last year in which sexual offenders were given probation instead of the prescribed prison time. The bill says that a judge cannot reduce the length of a sentence to less than 50% of the center of the range prescribed in the guidelines for the convicted offense. Any felony that is a severity level 1 to 4 on the nondrug grid with a criminal history score of A or B cannot have a downward departure without a mitigating factor from
