Obama’s Straw Men
Why does he routinely ascribe to opponents views they don’t espouse?
By KARL ROVE
President Barack Obama reveres Abraham Lincoln. But among the glaring differences between the two men is that Lincoln offered careful, rigorous, sustained arguments to advance his aims and, when disagreeing with political opponents, rarely relied on the lazy rhetorical device of “straw men.” Mr. Obama, on the other hand, routinely ascribes to others views they don’t espouse and says opposition to his policies is grounded in views no one really advocates.
On Tuesday night, Mr. Obama told Congress and the nation, “I reject the view that . . . says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity.” Who exactly has that view? Certainly not congressional Republicans, who believe that through reasonable tax cuts, fiscal restraint, and prudent monetary policies government contributes to prosperity.
Mr. Obama also said that America’s economic difficulties resulted when “regulations were gutted for the sake of a quick profit at the expense of a healthy market.” Who gutted which regulations?
Perhaps it was President Bill Clinton who, along with then Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, removed restrictions on banks owning insurance companies in 1999. If so, were Mr. Clinton and Mr. Summers (now an Obama adviser) motivated by quick profit, or by the belief that the reform was necessary to modernize our financial industry?
Perhaps Mr. Obama was talking about George W. Bush. But Mr. Bush spent five years pushing to further regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He was blocked by Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank. Arriving in the Senate in 2005, Mr. Obama backed up Mr. Dodd’s threat to filibuster Mr. Bush’s needed reforms.
Even in an ostensibly nonpartisan speech marking Lincoln’s 200th birthday, Mr. Obama used a straw-man argument, decrying “a philosophy that says every problem can be solved if only government would step out of the way; that if government were just dismantled, divvied up into tax breaks, and handed out to the wealthiest among us, it would somehow benefit us all. Such knee-jerk disdain for government — this constant rejection of any common endeavor — cannot rebuild our levees or our roads or our bridges.”
Whose philosophy is this? Many Americans justifiably believe that government is too big and often acts in counterproductive ways. But that’s a far cry from believing that in “every” case government is the problem or that government should be “dismantled” root and branch. Who — other than an anarchist — “constantly rejects any common endeavor” like building levees, roads or bridges?
During his news conference on Feb. 9, Mr. Obama decried an unnamed faction in the congressional stimulus debate as “a set of folks who — I don’t doubt their sincerity — who just believe that we should do nothing.”
Who were these sincere do-nothings? Every House Republican voted for an alternative stimulus plan, evidence that they wanted to do something. Every Senate Republican — with the exception of Judd Gregg, who’d just withdrawn his nomination to be Mr. Obama’s Commerce secretary and therefore voted “present” — voted for alternative stimulus proposals.
Then there’s Mr. Obama’s description of the Bush-era tax cuts. “A surplus became an excuse to transfer wealth to the wealthy,” he explained in his Tuesday speech, after earlier saying, “tax cuts alone can’t solve all of our economic problems — especially tax cuts that are targeted to the wealthiest few.”
The Bush tax cuts were not targeted to “the wealthiest few.” Everyone who paid federal income taxes received a tax cut, with the largest percentage of reductions going to those at the bottom. Last year, a family of four making $40,000 saved an average of $2,053 because of the Bush tax cuts. The tax code became more progressive as the share paid by the top 10% increased to 46.4% from 46% — and the nation experienced 52 straight months of job growth after the cuts took effect. And since when is giving back some of what people pay in taxes “transferring wealth?”
In his inaugural address — which was generally graceful toward the opposition — Mr. Obama proclaimed, “We have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.” Which Republican ran against him on fear, conflict and discord?
Mr. Obama portrays himself as a nonideological, bipartisan voice of reason. Everyone resorts to straw men occasionally, but Mr. Obama’s persistent use of the device is troubling. Continually characterizing those who disagree with you in a fundamentally dishonest way can be the sign of a person who lacks confidence in the merits of his ideas.
It was said that Lincoln crafted his arguments in “resonant words that enriched the political dialogue of his age.” Mr. Obama’s straw men aren’t enriching the dialogue of our age. They are cheapening it. Mr. Obama should stop employing them.
Okay, now you’re done scrolling over here’s some of the latest science news. Wondering when your ancestors started walking on feet like yours? The answer, 1.5 million years ago (or as creationists believe, last August).
Humans Walked On Modern Feet 1.5 Million Years Ago, Fossil Footprints Show
ScienceDaily (Feb. 27, 2009) — Ancient footprints found at Rutgers’ Koobi Fora Field School show that some of the earliest humans walked like us and did so on anatomically modern feet 1.5 million years ago.
Published as the cover story in the Feb. 27 issue of the journal Science, this anatomical interpretation is the conclusion of Rutgers Professor John W.K. Harris* and an international team of colleagues.
Harris is also director of the field school which Rutgers University operates in collaboration with the National Museums of Kenya. From 2006 to 2008, the field school group of mostly American undergraduates, including Rutgers students, excavated the site yielding the footprints.

Psychiatrist: Obama corrupting America with socialism
Book author warns economic ‘rescue’ will turn citizens into ‘wards of state’
By Chelsea Schilling
“Rossiter is a forensic psychiatrist and author of “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” In his book, he explains how the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and the Democratic Party can only be understood as a psychological disorder. He examines how modern liberal collectivism undermines the legal and moral foundations of ordered liberty.
“This is not a stimulus program that is going to work economically,” Rossiter said. “In the meantime, the character of the people – virtues of self-reliance, self-direction, self-determination, altruistic concern for others, charitable care for others rather than government-mandated welfare programs, regulation and taxation – all the capacities that made this country great are being contaminated.”
“We are being corrupted by these programs.”
“Rossiter said Obama has seduced Americans into believing he can deliver them from economic distress associated with the housing, banking and unemployment crises.
“He has a particular gift for rhetorical speech that’s inspiring, seductive and inviting,” he said. “He’s a quite charming person in his manner. People have been looking for someone to rescue them, and Obama has presented himself as the hero of the day.”
However, Rossiter predicts Obama’s collectivist rescue plan will end in disaster.
“He’s headed for a very severe fall because the expectations are far in excess of what anyone could possibly provide,” he said. “We’ve reached the point where, not only can the economy not respond to the stimulus, we have an incredible amount of debt. The entire project is going to collapse, and he will be humiliated.”
Human nature is not conducive to socialism, Rossiter warned. Imposition of a collectivist system and policies encouraging citizens to seek help through government intervention and social programs may prove to be a death blow to the nation’s spirit and liberties.
“If you keep trying to do it, you are going to destroy the character of the people,” he said. “You may be able to subjugate them and get them into this dependent state, but, ultimately, society collapses because it’s conceptually flawed.”
While liberal policies eventually fail, he said the nation may suffer massive economic damage from oppressive taxation, stifling regulation and depreciated currencies; massive political damage in the form of irrational expectations of what government can and should do for the people; and, most of all, the permanent corruption of citizens by destroying their reverence for self-reliance, voluntary cooperation and genuine altruism.
In his book, he reveals how the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
* creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
* satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
* augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
* rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
Rossiter said the good news is that the collectivist agenda always self-destructs because it profoundly misconceives human nature and the human condition, but it will not do so before great damage has been done. It will attack the moral and ethical foundations of liberty, repeatedly violate the laws of economics and corrupt the character of the people as it invites them to become wards of the state.”
Wake up America before we all find ourselves on our deathbed.

Eastwood thinks political correctness has made society humourless
Fri, Feb 27 01:15 PM
London, February 27 (ANI): Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humourless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive.
The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him “a racist”.
“People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
“I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct.
We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything,” he added. (ANI)

“The Commerce Department report released Friday showed the economy sinking much faster than the 3.8 percent annualized drop for the October-December quarter first estimated last month. It also was considerably weaker than the 5.4 percent annualized decline economists expected.”
It’s a twofer Tuesday. Double weird. Usually they are spot on.
At this rate, Obama will surpass Nixon in the ’stagflation’ era. If the carbon tax ponzi scheme is passed, there will be deserts where gas stations once stood along with long lines and strip malls will be abandoned.
Karl Rove who routinely ignores Congressional subpeonas writes that Obama claims, “I reject the view that . . . says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity.” Who exactly has that view? Certainly not congressional Republicans . . .
Ronald Reagan, 1st Inaugural Address: “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
and
“If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth.”
and
“Every dollar the Federal Government does not take from us, every decision it does not make for us will make our economy stronger, our lives more abundant, our future more free.”
Donald Rumsfailed
“The Federal Government should be the last resort, not the first. Ask if a potential program is truly a federal responsibility or whether it can better be handled privately, by voluntary organizations, or by local or state governments.”
Thomas Sowell, idiot CONmentator
“The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer’s money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed programs to ‘help.’”
George W. Bush
“Our new faith-based laws have removed government as a roadblock”
“We have finally learned that government programs cannot solve our problems. Government can hand out money, but government cannot put hope in our hearts or a sense of purpose in our lives.”

Taxes are historically low in the United States right now, especially on rich people.
Since our nation’s retirement plans are almost totally dependent upon the stock market, if Obama wants to be around for a second term he best see that his domestic plans and policies do not conflict with producing a favorable business climate.
Every local clique had a Sam the Jew or Jose the Mexican . . .
Yeah. Our group had a “Clint, the shi*head.”

Joe the Plumber (no longer a plumber; first name actually Samuel) popped into our town yesterday evening to sell his new book and to remind people that he’s still a plain and simple guy. Mission accomplished, on at least one of his missions.
About 11 people wandered into the rows of seats set up hopefully in the basement of a downtown Border’s bookstore to hear Joe speak. Joe addressed them from behind a lectern and with a microphone, but that seemed unnecessarily formal.
If you’ve already forgotten “Joe” Wurzelbacher, 35, of Toledo, Ohio, it just goes to show you how ephemeral the life of a plain-speaking, Republican Everyman is these days. Joe was the square-jawed guy briefly drafted by John McCain’s campaign to be its Voice of Regular Folks. Joe got a couple of news cycles’ worth of attention starting on Oct. 12 — he remembers the date clearly — when he was videotaped confronting Barack Obama about his small-business tax plans. He later called Obama’s plans “socialism.”
Now, only a few months later, he’s kind of like a vestigial tail, a leftover artifact from a forgotten time. He’s Clara Peller, Willie Horton or Gennifer Flowers — names that are the questions in a “Jeopardy!” category called “Presidential Campaign Distractions.” To his credit, Wurzelbacher is hip to the audacity of hype: “I get e-mails all the time from people asking me when my 15 minutes is going to expire,” he grinned after his talk. “Sometimes they just write, ‘15 . . . 14:59 . . . 14:58 . . .’ ”

Among the True Believers
by John Avlon
On the first day of the CPAC conference, conservatives were a feisty bunch without a leader. But they had a remedy for the Republican woes: be more conservative.
Conservatives here see themselves as defenders of freedom and original principles—patriotism’s defense against a fate like the fall of Rome. But there is a danger that comes from the love of being misunderstood by the larger culture—an impulse to define what you are against with greater fervor than what you are for.
With the cavalcade of speakers still coming up—including Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh—expect more fuel to be poured on that fire, producing lots of heat. We’ll see how much light.

Regular,
I’m not “gleeful” about higher taxes.
Higher energy efficiency is our cheapest energy “source”.
Renewable energy costs less than carbon-based energy, especially when the “hidden” costs of carbon and other pollutants are included.
CCS probably will not work, and should not be part of our energy plan until it’s proven to work long-term, on a large scale.
The population of Europe has also risen.
That’s right. We didn’t go from 18% to single digit interest rates. We also really lost the cold war.

CapnAmerica,
Obviously, you don’t have a dictionary.
Here, allow me:
rac?ism? ?/?re?s?z?m/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Now, explain in some intelligent way, how any of those statements are “racist”
“It is the uni-culture that is your strength.”
“Diversity, the very word means disunity.”
“The government can’t find 20 million illegal aliens.”
“Is it common sense to give away 9 billion dollars in foreign aid?”

CapnAmerica,
It must be a truly odd thing, the workings of your twisted mind.
For days I have watched as the demos on this blog have become unraveled and looked at the Obama plans that they were applauding and now I think I have found the answer:
Subject: Addiction is a terrible thing!
It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then — just to loosen up.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone — “to relax,” I told myself — but I knew it wasn’t true.
Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time. That was when things began to sour at home. One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She spent that night at her mother’s. I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don’t mix, but I couldn’t stop myself. I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka . I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, “What is it exactly we are doing here?”
One day the boss called me in. He said, “Listen, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don’t stop thinking on the job, you’ll have to find another job.”
This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my conversation with the boss. “Honey,” I confess, “I’ve been thinking…”
“I know you’ve been thinking,” she said, “and I want a divorce!”
“But Honey, surely it’s not that serious.”
“It is serious,” she said, lower lip aquiver. “You think as much as college professors, and college professors don’t make any money, so if you keep on thinking, we won’t have any money!”
“That’s a faulty syllogism,” I said impatiently. She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama. “I’m going to the library,” I snarled as I stomped out the door. I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche . I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors. They didn’t open. The library was closed.
To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night. Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra , a poster caught my eye, “Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?” it asked.
You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinkers Anonymous poster. Which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.
I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was “Porky’s.”
Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting. I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed…easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.
Today I made the final step. I registered to vote as a Democrat.
LOL!

Well . . . for starters, tolerance is not the last vestige of a dying society.
Did the Soviet Union fall because it was too tolerant? Did Rome? Did the Third Reich? Did the English Empire?
They were all known for their lack of tolerance. And they all fell.
For 8 years we have had nothing but hate and loathing from the left towards Conservatives, Republicans, and Bush… and especially Christians.
Now you sit here talking to us about hatred? Because we don’t agree with Obama on his big government spending programs?
Absurdity at it’s finest.
Hypocrisy all around.
Why is it that liberals seem to project their feelings into accusations towards anyone who disagrees with them?
Obama’s messianic standing among his adoring adolescents, and other mental midgets as we see here, has begun to wane, as it becomes increasingly apparent that he’s far more fragrance than substance.
And the ‘fragrance will soon become an detestable stench.

Why yes, Racists are often not very tolerant.
But that doesn’t prove or mean that all intolerant people are then Racists.
Logic 101.
I know something like logic is not your strong point, but you should learn about it sometime in your life.
Do you want to be ignorant forever?
I’ve got three people telling me that my interpretation of this analogy is wrong, that it’s not racist.
Not one of them will explain what it is, what it DOES mean, however.
Odd, isn’t it.
The fall of Rome and the Obama administration
* Poor management – The Obama administration
* The dole – (bread and circuses)- Obama – we gonna give you freebies.
* Hoarding – Wall Street
* Division – Just like the divide the Crats have employed
* Inflation – Diocletian (Obama) took over to try and restore the once prosperous Rome (USA). He did things such as forcing farmers to stay on their land, forcing people to work(Obama’s road building system), and burdening people with large taxes(carbon taxes)
CapnAmerica,
Now you are acting like Chas.
Instead of simply explaining why you think it is racist, you will ramble on for 50 posts defending why you shouldn’t have to explain your claim or how your claim is so obvious you shouldn’t have to.
Never actually defending your stupidity…

However,
Nothing the man said was actually a racist statement by the definition of racism.
You have to assume several different things to come to your conclusion.
I don’t have to offer a different explanation to prove you wrong.
You have offered nothing to prove yourself right.
Yeah, you have an “interpretation” but WHY is your interpretation right? What proof do you have that is what the man meant?
CapnAmerica,
It sounds like the man was making an argument for protecting our culture.
When you value everything and include everything but your own culture it will be washed away… wine and water.
That is not racist.

Capn’A,
If you think the statements are clearly racist then it should be easy to show how they are false.
I already showed that tolerance is not characteristic of a dying society, Anti.
But then there’s the obvious “diversity = disunity.”
If you eliminated everything that was invented by African-Americans, our society would come to a grinding halt . . . literally, because the stop light was invented by a black American.
Also, there wouldn’t be anything on the radio except for polka music . . .

That whole “Obama is a muslim” is such a strawman. His policies are the real arguments, let’s stick with things we can prove. First off, no one knew anything about a freshman senator’s policies at all (when he was running for POTUS). His voting record as a senator was kind of an insight, but this man came “out of nowhere”. His whole background is shrouded in secrecy. He was raised up by the corporate media as an “everything to everyone and most importantly, not Bush” demagogue.
Once we’re to the point of being taxed beyond our means, there will be zero incentive for anyone to work. And just where in the world will that leave us?

Interesting, Anti.
How does one “assimilate” when the banks and the realtors red line you and your kind out of whites only areas?
CapnAmerica,
You confuse the original intent with the original status quo.
And that is not what anyone wants to return to.
What happened when black kids “assimilated” the white schools in places like Little Rock? Or lunch counters in Selma?
Talk about blaming the victim.
Slavery was created by elites and the wealthy, REGARDLESS of color.
Again, there were, at the beginning of the colonies, white slaves from Ireland, Scotland and elsewhere gathered by the elite Britains. Slavery has always been a WORLD and HISTORICAL problem. The US Constitution changed all of that.
Granted slavery did not “end” in America until after the Civil War, but it was on a steady decline and would have died out on its own with the attitudes and morality of Americans at large.
But today, we have a new slavery. The economic slave. And that encompasses ALL of us, regardless of race or creed. It’s an “equal opportunity…ummm…employer“.
Yeah, like Holder says, “we’re all cowards when it comes to talking about race”. We’re all cowards to refuse to see that these divisive arguments do nothing but keep all of us divided. It sick.
Holder spews that out, just to keep it going.

Obama’s Budget Plan Sweeps Away Reagan Ideas
By DAVID LEONHARDT
Published: February 26, 2009
The budget that President Obama proposed on Thursday is nothing less than an attempt to end a three-decade era of economic policy dominated by the ideas of Ronald Reagan and his supporters.
The Obama budget — a bold, even radical departure from recent history, wrapped in bureaucratic formality and statistical tables — would sharply raise taxes on the rich, beyond where Bill Clinton had raised them. It would reduce taxes for everyone else, to a lower point than they were under either Mr. Clinton or George W. Bush. And it would lay the groundwork for sweeping changes in health care and education, among other areas.
More than anything else, the proposals seek to reverse the rapid increase in economic inequality over the last 30 years. They do so first by rewriting the tax code and, over the longer term, by trying to solve some big causes of the middle-class income slowdown, like high medical costs and slowing educational gains.

Obama To Overturn Bush ‘Conscience’ Rules
The Obama administration is moving to rescind another controversial Bush administration abortion policy.
The regulation, known as the “conscience clause,” took effect on the former president’s final day in office. It allows health care workers to decline to provide or participate in any service that violates their conscience.
Next week, according to Obama administration sources, the Department of Health and Human Services will begin the process to formally rescind the regulation. But it will also ask the public to comment on the move for 30 days.

When confronted with nothing but lame attempts at provocation, ignore.
“Federal law has long forbidden discrimination against health care professionals who refuse to perform abortions or provide referrals for them on religious or moral grounds. The Obama administration supports those laws, said the HHS official.
The Bush administration’s rule adds a requirement that institutions that get federal money certify their compliance with laws protecting the rights of moral objectors. It was intended to block the flow of federal funds to hospitals and other institutions that ignore those rights.
But the Obama administration was concerned that the Bush regulation could also be used to refuse birth control, family planning services and counseling for vaccines and transfusions.”

Our sacred Constitution gave everyone equal rights in 1789.
However there were a few fine points in defining “everyone.”
You had rights only if
1. you were born male
2. you were born white
3. you owned land.
Women, blacks, Mexicans, Native Indians, Chinamen, landless whites . . . yeah, not so much.
This is the “original intent” that people like Scalia want to return to .

As expected, Obamanation is moving to strike down President Bush’s newly ordered rights of conscience, so that he can soon force medical professionals and pharmacies to participate in abortions and distribute dangerous abortion drugs and abortifacients, regardless of their religious, moral, and ethical beliefs. Their alternatives would then be to lose federal funds, shut down their pharmacy or clinic, or leave to find a new career.

“debunked arguments”……. oh yeah it was a war between the states.
Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More — By: Larry Kudlow
http://www.cnbc.com/id/29434104
“Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget.
He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds.
That is the meaning of his anti-growth tax-hike proposals, which make absolutely no sense at all — either for this recession or from the standpoint of expanding our economy’s long-run potential to grow…..
…..Essentially, the Obama economic policies represent a major Democratic party relapse into Great Society social spending and taxing. It is a return to the LBJ/Nixon era, and a move away from the Reagan/Clinton period. House Republicans, fortunately, are 90 days sober, as they are putting up a valiant fight to stop the big-government onslaught and move the GOP back to first principles.
Noteworthy up here on Wall Street, a great many Obama supporters — especially hedge-fund types who voted for “change” — are becoming disillusioned with the performances of Obama and Treasury man Geithner.
There is a growing sense of buyer’s remorse.
Well then, do conservatives dare say: We told you so?”
It’s good President Obama made our economy a high priority and Congress began on the bill even before he took office. The sad state of our economy inherited from the last administration required great urgency!

Pay to Pee? Budget Airline May Charge Passengers to Use Toilet
DUBLIN — Is a bathroom an optional extra when you’re at 30,000 feet? Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary seems to think so — and says his no-frills airline might charge customers to use its aircrafts’ toilets.
O’Leary whipped up a frenzy of indignation and potty humor Friday as he suggested that future Ryanair passengers might be obliged to insert a British pound coin (U.S. $1.40) before they gain access to in-flight relief.

Yes, the Republicans are crying loudly all the while ignoring what the state of the economy was before January 20, 2009. It makes for a bunch of laughs around here watching their stretching and shenanigans. ;-)
Kinda like the ones that are screaming, “It’s too soon, the mission isn’t finished!” when the news says Obama is bringing home so many troops from Iraq by Aug of 2010 — a timeline exactly like the one bush signed before leaving office.
Are memories convenient, or is it required to be against what they were defending just over a month ago now that they’re out of power?

Two Polls on Obama’s Mortgage Plan Show Very Different Results
Last week a Rasmussen poll showed that only 38 percent of Americans support Obama’s mortgage plan, but a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that 64 percent of Americans somewhat or strongly support Obama’s plan.
Why the wildly different results? How the poll questions were phrased might explain the difference.
The WaPo/ABC News poll asks:
21. On another economic issue, would you support or oppose the federal government using 75 billion dollars to provide refinancing assistance to homeowners to help them avoid foreclosure on their mortgages? Do you feel that way strongly or somewhat?
Rasmussen asks:
1* To reduce the number of mortgage foreclosures, should the federal government subsidize mortgage payments for financially troubled homeowners?
It seems that the difference between these two questions is that Rasmussen states that the government would “subsidize” “financially troubled homeowners”, while the WaPo/ABC poll states that the government would be “using” money to provide “refinancing assistance to homeowners”.
Perhaps I’m reading too much into this, but it seems that Rasmussen emphasizes that those getting government cash are financially troubled, while the WaPo poll leaves the impression that the money may go to a larger pool of homeowners. Of course, one would think it would be easy to infer from the Post poll question that people who need “help” to “avoid foreclosure” are financially troubled. But unless one (or both) of the pollsters got a bad sample, the subtle differences in phrasing may explain the big difference in the results.

Subsidize is kind of a loaded term.

I hope that English is your 2nd, rarely used language.
“Obama budget plan is out of sight on costs and will only lead to greater downturn and lack of confidence”
Nevr mind that the Iraq war cost three times as much as Obama’s plan…where were you guys when the Bush regime’s spending was out of control? It was a Republican administration that sent the country on a downward spiral and wiped out America’s confidence.
lol
The Palin supporters here are black, black, black, black in the soul. Souls blacker’n midnight on Mars, I’d say.
You know, if a guy didn’t know better he just might jump to the conclusion that those with ODS are kinda maybe wishin’ a little harm to come to the US of A. Maybe not, I mean you know, I’m sure they wouldn’t ever with any harm at all come to the country. Right? I mean just a few months ago they were all but accusin’ certain folk hereabouts of being sickly invested in the ill health of the country if it meant Bush’s poll numbers would fall even a speck. Heck, those with ODS would never ever turn around and be THAT memory impaired, that hypocritical, would they?
lol
Just a teensy weensy bit, maybe, just if it means bad things come President Obama’s way?
Hmmmm?
; > )
The country is optimistic and ready to make serious changes. I will take that over what the greed heads in the market are doing any day.
Convenient memories is my guess, Mary. Now that they’re out of power they have forgotten much and remember some quite differently. Like today’s reports of the last quarter of 2008 being so dismal — you’d think it happened when President Obama was in office (except most Americans are smart enough to know it didn’t!). I noticed today’s posts from some of our Republican bloggers included mentions of, “since Obama was elected…” They are grumpy, they are desperate, they seem very afraid that President Obama will succeed. ;-)
How is your sister?

I’m SO jealous of you Linda!!! I want to go so badly..I won’t miss the next time, I promise.
My sister is doing better, looking forward to her stay in Texas and spending time with her kids and grandkids..thanks for asking and tell everyone I wish I was there!
Good evening ladies.
I’m not usually in such pleasant company.
It’s sad isn’t it? We seem fated half of the country to hate the other half.
But our side didn’t start it. Well except for all that bothersome social reform and stuff. AND we didn’t up the ante by forcing on them a President that was never elected like they did to us with bush.
I have to hope that they are out of power long enough that they don’t get to hit us back again any time soon,
Some say this is the way it has always been, but I disagree. I’m sure there have been very rough, very difficult and divided times in our country’s past.
In my lifetime, when President Clinton behaved badly and the Republicans decided to impeach (with full knowledge they didn’t have the votes to convict) was when the really bad divisions began.
We were enjoying prosperity and peace. And President Clinton behaved very badly. It didn’t effect the running of our country but you know how those superior godly unsexy Republicans hate it when someone is gettin’ it on!
So, we Democrats got paid back for Clinton’s indiscretions with bush. Except he brought misery, war, failure to the entire country. The 24percenters continued to support him. Do we have an unusually large representation of those 24percenters here at WEBlog?
Anyway, I’m proud of where we are today, I’m heartened by President Obama. He has been president for just barely over a month and look at what he has done! If in time his plans fail, we’ll all tell him. But you know what? I think he will be willing to change course, make corrections, try something different when and if it is necessary.
Doesn’t it feel good to be an American again after that long dismal eight years of bush?
“The Palin supporters here are black, black, black, black in the soul.”
Yeah I know but we need them right where they are.
Get this. It is not surprising to learn that con women HEAVILY favor lil Sarah as their next candidate. Men, meanwhile seem fractured between Romney and Huckabee.

Ya know, none of us ever hoped for bush to fail.
He just sorta made it obvious that was what he intended to do.
It was before this forum existed, but I even rooted for the SOB once.
As bad as I hated him, I wanted him to do well when he spoke about the loss of the Columbia orbiter. Of course, he let me down.
A lot of cons like Rush Limbaugh and some of our posters here are not touched by pain or hard times. No matter how hard they get. This gives them the option of hoping the country falls on hard times. They have nothing to lose and everything and more to gain.
What hurts THEM is being marginalized. They are getting a health dose of that now and we daily read the results.
Joe Biden said that Obama would be forced to make decisions that many would think were wrong… But, that if people worked TOGETHER, Obama’s decisions would prove to be the right ones… I sort of think this economic crisis is one of those decision times… And Obama will be proven to be right… and the success of his decisions will be seen before the 2010 election season…
It isnt a matter of trusting in ONE person… It boils down to Americans trusting each other to make the best out of a crisis situation…
When all of those yokuls at the CPAC meeting are shown to be what they are…. right wing goof balls… their party wont stand a chance of winning much of anything… except for those areas that would re-elect them even though they oppose the very things that are best for the constituents they represent…
“Ya know, none of us ever hoped for bush to fail.”
Truth!
Once he was appointed the job by the Supreme Court, we all settled in — we all had jobs, families, full lives — and of course he had that brush on the ranch so everyone was busy.
After 911 he had us all in the palm of his hand. He really did. We were a united country.
The rest is well known to all but those 24 percenters.
He worked hard to earn the disrespect with which most people hold him.
“It boils down to Americans trusting each other to make the best out of a crisis situation…”
I don’t think the cons can be counted on much for help there. They are not much on cooperative effort. Too, they see crisis as opportunity to advance their agenda or enrich themselves.
“I don’t think the cons can be counted on much for help there. They are not much on cooperative effort. Too, they see crisis as opportunity to advance their agenda or enrich themselves.” [Blue Jay]

DEA to halt medical marijuana raids
Supporters of programs to provide legal marijuana to patients with painful medical conditions are celebrating Attorney General Eric Holder’s statement this week that the Drug Enforcement Administration would end its raids on state-approved marijuana dispensaries.
Holder was asked about those raids Wednesday in Santa Ana, Calif., at a news conference that was called to announce the arrests of 755 people in a nationwide crackdown on the U.S. operations of Mexican drug cartels. He said such operations would no longer be conducted.
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro hinted at the policy shift shortly after the California raids, telling The Washington Times that the dispensaries were legal in California and that the Obama administration’s stance was that “federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws.”

Call me a racist if it makes you happy, it means nothing for two reasons. One, I’m not and have never put anyone down because of race, and two, because what you think and say mean nothing to me. Got it? I know you’re slow but try and let that sink in.
BlueJay begs for my comments, he can’t keep his Marxist mouth shut, and he DOES advocate being a parasite off others.
Plus he’s just plain stupid, and on several occasions offered physical challenges or threats, which make me laugh.
I sent him to stand in a cold parking lot to think about it once, remember, ha. But he’s too dim to understand what happened to him.

BlueJay, there is a serious, and sad, infestation of racists and bigots on this Blog… Too often in history, those who talk the loudest about freedom, are those who would take that freedom from you… They are among us… And they know who they are…
BlueJay you can work and live anyway you like and I will say nothing about it. That is entirely up to you, and it’s your right do as you please. I’ll probably even defend your right to do so. What you do and how you live are none of my business as long as you stay out of mine.
But likewise you do NOT have the right to work and live as you like, and then not like it and come after mine….got it?
Live your life off what you make of it, and let others live theirs the same.
Chas, give me ONE example of my being racist, just ONE!
Sure I object to masses of illegal aliens swarming over the southern border and demanding jobs and entitlements from taxpayers. Which is happening to the tune of billions of dollars, but that has nothing to do with race and everything to do with protecting the country and the future for our kids and grandkids.
bigot: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.
Well, certainly you fit that definition Chas. A lot of us do.

Regular,
You should be writing your scientific paper that refutes the AGW theory.

Of course cosmos…
But at least I would understand the reasons why and what I wrote and would not need a Web site like you to explain the science.

Some say this is the way it has always been, but I disagree. I’m sure there have been very rough, very difficult and divided times in our country’s past.
In my lifetime, when President Clinton behaved badly and the Republicans decided to impeach (with full knowledge they didn’t have the votes to convict) was when the really bad divisions began.
————————
Bill Clinton, President of the United States was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999
————————
Linda this is why you appear to be so stupid. That and the fact that your happiness rides on the back of the prez. Pathetic.
“BlueJay you can work and live anyway you like and I will say nothing about it. That is entirely up to you, and it’s your right do as you please. I’ll probably even defend your right to do so.”
What is that a plea?
Anyone who reads here KNOWS it’s a lie.
Didn’t you just the other day post that someone who disagreed with you should have had his brains bashed in as an infant and that his mother was negligent in not getting that done?
Isn’t it you who takes pleasure in the pain of a friend of mine who has done you no harm other than to offend your sensibilities?
It’s “interesting” that bigotbawks makes false assumptions about anonymous posters on this blog — and makes angry, ranting attacks using those false assumptions. Why does bigotbawks do that?

Looks to me like Linda was right on target… The Republicans knew they couldnt get a conviction in the Senate, but yet spent much time and money on their impeachment vote in the House…
What I want to know: Okie, what makes Linda stupid, about saying the same thing as you said, just in a different phrasing…
Hmmmm????
Looks to me if Linda is stupid, then you are right in there with her…. But, as usual, you must be having another attack of that reading problem…. again….
No DumbJay, I did not say someone should have had their brains bashed in, I ask if maybe they had been dropped on their head or thrown as an infant which is what caused their mental deficiency.
Don’t start your lying again now.
I don’t take pleasure in the pain of a friend of yours. I take strong exception to the fact she is trying to redefine for all of society the meaning of a term that has been accepted for centuries, the term of marriage that has been recognized as being between a man and a woman. For that she attacks me….and you bet I come back at it. Again, she can live as she pleases, she can ’sleep’ with the chickens or cattle for all I care, just keep it out of my face, and don’t try and make it a normal accepted equivalent of true marriage.

“….just keep it out of my face, and don’t try and make it a normal accepted equivalent of true marriage….” [bigotbawks]
Ahhh, now we see… You are unwilling, and obstinately obsessed with keeping your understanding of marriage as the only one acceptable…. In other words, YOU wont accept any other definition, so you want to FORCE your definition, right or wrong, on others who do not share it….
Riiiight…. but Bawks isnt a bigot… Riiiiight…. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

Oh yea, and WHY do you bigoted types ALWAYS throw in some stupid, vitriolic reference to bestiality or pedophilia, when you DEMEAN gay marriage??

Chas, you are mad, completely hysterically mad.
Defending society, defending a term universally understood for thousands of years by the entire world is not being a bigot.
Let me ask you faux preacher, do you defend the teachings of the Bible, and of Christ and his disciples? Or do you redefine anything and everything there according to your own whim?
How about the dictionary, do you accept a redefinition of terms and simple go with it, creating a world of Babel.
Oh, there he goes again running off just when he knows he’s looking like an ass.

Maybe they just “choose” to do that? /irony ON
You obviously dont, Bawks… You bear false witness almost every time you address a post to me…. So, why would you expect anybody else to accept thoe teachings, if YOU arent willing to do so yourself??? Isnt that, sorta, like hypocrisy???
Thats all you got anyway… I mean, do you/did you sleep with your wife during her monthly cycle?? Do you eat shell fish?? Do you eat pork?? Do you believe in taking unruly children to the Elders, and then having them stoned outside the camp??
Those are all “biblical teachings” WHY would ANYbody in THIS day and age accept ANY of those “teachings”????
Do you believe that the Clergy should be celibate?? The Church believed that for many years, until somebody came along and CHANGED that belief, among others… It was called the REFORMATION….
Times Change…. People Change…. Definitions Change…. And whether YOU like it or not, definitions of marriage will not always remain the way YOU want them to be…. And, I do have to tell you… YOU dont have to give up your precious definitions…. Just allow others to have theirs EQUALLY as much as you want yours!!
Why cant you get that through your thick dense gray matter?? YOU dont rule the world…. People are free to believe in different religious understandings than what YOU have… Why??? Because we live in a grand nation that believes in Freedom of Religion…. And if you think for ONE minute that gay marriage has nothing to do with Freedom of Religion, well, you just proved it by expecting ALL the people of this land to BELIEVE your religious understanding/definition of marriage!!
And you have the unmitigated gall to call ME a “faux preacher” Damn, man, you dont know ANYTHING about me…. When you call me a “faux” preacher, that is a blatant LIE…. Is LYING also a part of your precious “biblical teachings” that you want me to defend???
I cant defend your beliefs… Because I have NO idea what your beliefs are… What you post of your beliefs is so convoluted, I dont know how YOU know what your beliefs are!!
NOW…. I am outta here… It’s LENT… I have studying to do… My parish depends on me during this Season….
Dont expect me to argue with you on these matters again anytime soon…. You arent worthy of the effort…. BIGOT!!
Oh comatose, go bang your head against a tree, or better yet a coal plant exhaust stack.
You are really a bore.
Good grief, another wish for physical harm to come to another poster…. Ohh, I forgot… Boxer doesnt do those things…. LOLOL heheheheheheheheeeeeeeee
bigotbawks,

Chas,
Maybe bigotbawks was exposed to too much mercury from coal-fired plants . . .?
I know you Chas, I know you from the filth that pours forth from your mouth, the filth that reveals what’s in your soul.
As I said, I don’t care what homosexuals do privately, except for the damage it does to them with them being a part of the same society we all live in, but they can keep it out of my face and the faces of my children and grand-children because that too is filth like your mouth.
And yes there are rules of living and of Jewish law in the old testament that changed with the new, but there are also things that did not. You as a faux preacher are unable to tell the difference.
People are free to believe what they like, but just as you say I have no power over them, they have none over me, and have no right to try and change me or the society we live in for their own purpose.
Tell me, does your ‘flock’ know who you are here.
Of course not, liar.
Freedom… Justice…. Equality… That’s what I post about here, Bawks…. Now, if those things are FILTH… Then I guess you are the REAL enemy…. NEVER have I seen such lunacy posted in the name of “christian” beliefs…. NEVER!! What YOU call filth, are the pillars of this Society… not the bigotry that YOU constantly post…. Freedom, Justice, and Equality are also the pillars of the faith of my denomination, and in fact MOST denominations… except for a few radical ones… Of course, maybe you are part of one of those radical denominations… See, I dont know that, because I dont know YOU anymore than YOU know ME….
Now, do you really want to stay on the record as saying Equality and Freedom and Justice are FILTH??? Or do you need to maybe sleep on it first???
Your choice, nimrod…. as you once again prove my contention that you are a BIGOT… errr…. the words that you post that is, show you to be a BIGOT….

Industry Outlook
Publishing Industry
Posted Fri Feb 27, 03:17 pm ET
Our top Sell recommendation in the Publishing sector is McClatchy Company (MNI). As expected, McClatchy eliminated its dividend in January, shortly after a 50% cut in September proved insufficient.
We expect more pain ahead for McClatchy. One-third of MNI’s revenues are in the hard-hit California and Florida markets. Circulation revenue is falling for the 3rd consecutive year, while ad revenue sinks disproportionately (down 21% in 4Q08). In our view, MNI can’t shrink its costs fast enough, posing a risk of tripping bank covenants if the revenue decline should accelerate and thereby raise leverage. Given the continued downward trend in earnings and cash flow, coupled with the company’s high debt-load (Debt/TTM EBITDA was 5.1x).
http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/17811/Publishing+Industry
Not EVEN The ONE can save McClatchy.
They were just a big EVIL CORPORATION anyway.
No great loss.
Johnson must be collecting commissions for helping McClatchy go downhill… Did you help do the same thing for Rocky Mountain News that you do here?? Hmmmm???
“I ask if maybe they had been dropped on their head or thrown as an infant which is what caused their mental deficiency.
Don’t start your lying again now.”
Oh that’s not true. I can go get the quote to prove it.
How stupid, mean and evil would you like to look?
Get it Jay…
Not even the Chas posts about Freedom, Justice, and Equality COULD SAVE THE WICHITA EAGLE!
“I don’t take pleasure in the pain of a friend of yours.”
Of course you do and I could prove that too.
But then,.everyone here knows what you are.
Seek out a coalition of the similar. Might I suggest a reach around to Hank, Nathan, okobobserver and her alternic dondublin,.
I learned from THE ONE how to talk down the stock price of a company, and literally eliminate it from existence.
McClatchy is a piece of cake. It’s demise is coming sooner by the day.
SELL!
SELL!
SELL!
Might find a lot of buyers for a 45 Cent stock issued by a company that has no chance for being profitable ever again. Like the US Gov’t for instance.

mxyzptlk,
Did your mother intentionally throw you against the wall or to the floor out of disgust with what she produced? Or maybe pith you(to destroy the spinal cord or brain, for dummies like you)in hopes of saving the world from the worthless pipsqueak you turned out to be.
To bad she failed at that too.
Glad I found it again.
That’s you bawks. And I can make you look worse.
Of course, I am confident that you will beat me to it.

Goodnite everyone, and have sweet dreams of Hope.
Each day going forward will be even more glorious then the last!
Obama will soon build his own kingdom, right here on Earth!
I am so inspired and filled with optimism at the hope the future now brings.
Everynight before I go to sleep, I read this. Obama inspires me oh so much!
“I should like to help everyone if possible; Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, black men, white, red, and yellow. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others’ happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls; has barricaded the world with hate; we live in misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Industry that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than wealth we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. Modern communications and technology have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say “Do not despair.”
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create prosperity, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men and women a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Evil rulers free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.
Citizens of the world, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
People can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up! The clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness into the light! We are coming into a new world; a kind new world, where men and women will rise above their hate, their greed, and brutality. Look up! The soul of mankind has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow. Into the light of hope! Into the future! The glorious future! That belongs to you, to me, and to all of us. Look up, everyone! Look up!”
Nice catch Monkey…. Very nice….
“Freedom, Justice, and Equality”, in your posts? Nonsense!
Chas that’s not what I see here. I see you promoting the very things the scriptures renounce. I see you not saying “your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more” as Jesus said, but instead you say “you have not sinned, continue living anyway you like”. There is a big difference.
If you are trying to help people as you say and you are promoting a Christian way of living and think I need some that, just as you’ve said here, then tell me where your congregation is. I will come and listen. Isn’t that your mission, isn’t that what a real man of God is supposed to be about? Am I invited or excluded? If you are comfortable in what you are doing in your profession to help people then help me, let me know where I can come to know you and what your message is.
If not they you are living a lie, your are not the same person and preacher here and there, you are a hypocrite.
The choice is yours.
JR, I ask a rhetorical question, nitwit. Do you know what that means.
But I’m glad I gave you something to do with your worthless time for awhile.

No…it was a non-event.
“Gregg said he violated no laws or Senate rules.
By putting government money into the former base, Gregg helped it become a desirable place for employers to locate, making developments there more valuable.
Gregg said he was proud to bring development and jobs to the former base.
“When it closed as an air base it was a devastating event,” Gregg said. “It’s been the most successful redevelopment of a closed military base in the country.”
Such efforts to convert defunct bases were encouraged by the federal government.
Gregg told the AP the White House expressed no concerns about his involvement at Pease. He said he does not believe his investments there or his role in obtaining federal aid would have affected his consideration for the job.
And just what does Barry’s porkulous economic plan do….give pork projects to dozens of Democrats districts and states.

After reading through a number of the inputs, I have 2 cents of my own to throw in at this point. Upon meeting someone you do not know, to say you do not see race or gender, unless your are physically blind, is a lie. We all notice that. The true question is, what do you do with the fact after you’ve noticed it? We, as a species are a unigue conglomeration. The fact each of us is different is where diversity comes from. Our differences are not to be feared, but celebrate. Just because you do not understand or agree does not make it bad, it just makes it different. I would like to continue but I fera I may get into the KUM-BI-YAH areana and I do NOT want to go there.
