Spending out of debt is suicide. Although the NYT continues to stick to its flawed ideology throughout, it appears they are starting to catch on.

Wave of Debt Payments Facing U.S. Government

WASHINGTON — The United States government is financing its more than trillion-dollar-a-year borrowing with i.o.u.’s on terms that seem too good to be true.

But that happy situation, aided by ultralow interest rates, may not last much longer.

Treasury officials now face a trifecta of headaches: a mountain of new debt, a balloon of short-term borrowings that come due in the months ahead, and interest rates that are sure to climb back to normal as soon as the Federal Reserve decides that the emergency has passed.

Even as Treasury officials are racing to lock in today’s low rates by exchanging short-term borrowings for long-term bonds, the government faces a payment shock similar to those that sent legions of overstretched homeowners into default on their mortgages.

With the national debt now topping $12 trillion, the White House estimates that the government’s tab for servicing the debt will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019, up from $202 billion this year, even if annual budget deficits shrink drastically. Other forecasters say the figure could be much higher.

In concrete terms, an additional $500 billion a year in interest expense would total more than the combined federal budgets this year for education, energy, homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hm. It would seem as if someone wasn't quite as reasonable as they pretended through all that trolling.

And "faggot hick?" What does that even mean? Tsk.

A Bad Week for the Cult
"The last few days have not been good for the People's Temple of Hope and Change, nor for its charismatic leader, whom many members regard as a god incarnate.
* Chairman Zero returned from Asia having accomplished nothing except looking like a jackass for bowing to the Emperor of Japan

* Chairman Zero's budget deficit just for the month of October, at $127 billion, was larger than the deficit for the entire 2007 Fiscal Year (the last budget authored by a Republican president and Congress.)

* Chairman Zero''s Attorney General was revealed to be an idiot when he couldn't name a single case where an enemy combatant captured on a battlefield had been given a trial in a civilian court.

* Chairman Zero promised the world that Khalid Sheik Mohammed would receive a fair trial, while promising Americans there could be no other outcome to that trial but conviction and execution. (Ponder the Stalinist quality of that statement for a moment.)

* The "hockey stick" chart was revealed to be a fake when emails between Global Warming scienticians revealed they were deliberately manipulating the data to "prove" global warming; one scientician instructing another to fudge the data in order to "hide the decline" in global temperatures.(Thanks TGC for the better link)

* A probably-soon-to-be-fired Inspector General revealed that Chairman Zero's Tax Cheat Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner used TARP money as a private slush fund to bail out his old buddies at AIG, Wachovia, and Goldman Sachs.

* It was also revealed that $6.4 Billion in Stimulus money was sent to congressional districts that don't exist."

I wonder what it will take for Americans to realize they must never put the childish minds of Modern Liberals in charge.

Thanks to freakylynx. I stopped bothering with SNL altogether when they missed the "shout out" moment. But now they've managed to be honest for a second time this season. And it's damn funny.


Please spread this around. Maybe it'll wake a few Liberals up.

The Louisiana Purchase: $100 Million Payoff to Buy Sen. Landrieu's Vote...

"In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.)
Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.
How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million."

Something that's good for the country shouldn't require 100 million dollar payoffs of taxpayer money.

EDIT: The Demcare bribe list
2) CALIFORNIA: $300 million, via LA Times:
3) AARP
a) Via Philip Klein: $18 million in stimulus money
b) The Medigap royalty/kickback scheme
4) THE ABORTION LOBBY, via LifeNews:
5) BIG LABOR

I don't doubt such exchanges and activities are happening for a second. The only question is whether or not this particular case is legitimate.

Here's hoping that it is. Breitbart, Biggovernment and FNC will pick it up, meaning our Pravda media eventually won't have a choice.

This could end up bigger than Watergate. It could do to the "global community"/"global government" types what Watergate did to Nixon/Republicans. Here's hoping. It's well past time.

Increase in jihadist recruitment.

Encouraging terrorists to attack civilians.

A dramatic increase in the likelihood of a terrorist attack in NYC.

Embarrassment in front of the world for putting on a pointless show trial that makes our system of justice look a joke.

Massive potential intelligence information loss.

This has NO upside, and a list of tragic downsides. The only possible motives or reasoning are to attack Bush and create a giant distraction from the Obamunist takeover of the country. It's stunning Democrats, all of them, are so delusional, stupid or fanatical as to support this.

It's suicide. I'll say it again, in ancient Rome Democrats would have been the Anti-Aqueduct Party.




Travesty in New York
"KSM has gratuitously been presented with the greatest propaganda platform imaginable -- a civilian trial in the media capital of the world -- from which to proclaim the glory of jihad and the criminality of infidel America.
So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system where the rule of law and the fair trial reign.
Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) "do not get convicted," asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb Kohl. "Failure is not an option," replied Holder. Not an option? Doesn't the presumption of innocence, er, presume that prosecutorial failure -- acquittal, hung jury -- is an option? By undermining that presumption, Holder is undermining the fairness of the trial, the demonstration of which is the alleged rationale for putting on this show in the first place.
Moreover, everyone knows that whatever the outcome of the trial, KSM will never walk free. He will spend the rest of his natural life in U.S. custody. Which makes the proceedings a farcical show trial from the very beginning.
Apart from the fact that any such trial will be a security nightmare and a terror threat to New York -- what better propaganda-by-deed than blowing up the entire courtroom, making KSM a martyr and making the judge, jury and spectators into fresh victims? -- it will endanger U.S. security. Civilian courts with broad rights of cross-examination and discovery give terrorists access to crucial information about intelligence sources and methods.
That's precisely what happened during the civilian New York trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. The prosecution was forced to turn over to the defense a list of two hundred unindicted co-conspirators, including the name Osama bin Laden. "Within ten days, a copy of that list reached bin Laden in Khartoum," wrote former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the presiding judge at that trial, "letting him know that his connection to that case had been discovered."
Finally, there's the moral logic. It's not as if Holder opposes military commissions on principle. On the same day he sent KSM to a civilian trial in New York, Holder announced he was sending Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, mastermind of the attack on the USS Cole, to a military tribunal.
By what logic? In his congressional testimony Wednesday, Holder was utterly incoherent in trying to explain. In his Nov. 13 news conference, he seemed to be saying that if you attack a civilian target, as in 9/11, you get a civilian trial; a military target like the Cole, and you get a military tribunal.
What a perverse moral calculus. Which is the war crime -- an attack on defenseless civilians or an attack on a military target such as a warship
_
Moreover, the incentive offered any jihadi is as irresistible as it is perverse: Kill as many civilians as possible on American soil and Holder will give you Miranda rights, a lawyer, a propaganda platform -- everything but your own blog.
Alternatively, Holder tried to make the case that he chose a civilian New York trial as a more likely venue for securing a conviction. An absurdity: By the time Obama came to office, KSM was ready to go before a military commission, plead guilty and be executed. It's Obama who blocked a process that would have yielded the swiftest and most certain justice.
_____
Holder's True Motive "The claim that the Bush administration was somehow dilatory sets a new standard for gall, particularly coming from Eric Holder. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out, "The principal reason there were so few military trials is the tireless campaign conducted by leftist lawyers (including Holder) to derail military tribunals by challenging them in the courts."
_
This is an excruciatingly awful decision that no hanging judge talk of "the ultimate penalty" can perfume. What about the increased risk of terror attacks on New York during the trial? The city is "hardened" against attacks Holder assures us. Really? Like Fort Hood?
By granting a civil trial to KSM, while Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who bombed the USS Cole in Yemen, will receive a military tribunal, the U.S. telegraphs this message to terrorists: Wherever possible, attack our civilians. You'll get more lawyering and a better deal than if you attack our military. (And by the way, you'll get more rights than a member of our military who commits a crime.)
Attorney General Holder is keen to prove to a supposedly skeptical world that America lives up to its values (never mind that granting the full rights of citizens to enemy combatants is not part of our creed -- nor anyone else's). Yet he has also repeatedly asserted that a not-guilty verdict is unacceptable.
_
But Holder says he'll be found guilty. Isn't that a perversion of our jurisprudence? If a not-guilty verdict is impossible, then the trial is a sham.
_
And while we're on the subject of not thinking things through, at a Senate hearing, Holder could not answer Sen. Lindsey Graham's question about how we would deal with Osama bin Laden if we caught him tomorrow. Would he be Mirandized? Would we give him a lawyer? Isn't that the precedent this decision sets?
_
Is that the nub? To satisfy the revenge fantasies of American leftists who have lusted to put the Bush administration on trial, the Obama administration is willing to sacrifice logic, justice, national security, and honor?
When KSM's star turn in the courtroom goes viral on the Internet and inspires thousands of new jihadis, the Obamaites can console themselves that at least they stuck it to George W. Bush.

NPR Shocker: Attorney General Holder Stumped By Lindsey Graham "As NPR's Frank James noted, 'The exchange started with Graham stumping Holder with a question one would have thought the attorney general would have been prepared for.'"
"SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM, (R-S.C): Can you give me a case in United States history where a enemy combatant caught on a battlefield was tried in civilian court?
ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL: I don't know. I'd have to look at that. I think that, you know, the determination I've made --
GRAHAM: We're making history here, Mr. Attorney General. I'll answer it for you. The answer is no."
Can you imagine if a Republican Attorney General came prepared to testify before Congress like this? He doesn't know the answer because he doesn't care. The law is an obstacle or a tool to Liberals. Nothing else.

A top psychiatrist at Walter Reed warned Fort Hood about Hasan "Daniel Swerdling of NPR has the scoop: 'Two years ago, a top psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center was so concerned about what he saw as Nidal Hasan's incompetence and reckless behavior that he put those concerns in writing.'"
"On May 17, 2007, Hasan's supervisor at Walter Reed sent the memo to the Walter Reed credentials committee."
"The memo ticks off numerous problems over the course of Hasan's training, including proselytizing to his patients."
"I think the case is irrefutable for the Army bending over backward not to dismiss an incompetent due to his religious beliefs and ethnic background." [...] "A congressional investigation that recommended common sense changes might be in order - except the Obama administration refuses to cooperate."

Police Grovel Before Muslim Maniacs "The obsequious political correctness that allowed Nidal Malik Hasan to fester away until he was ready to launch his terrorist massacre at Ford Hood is hardly limited to the military. Law enforcement is rotted through with it too:
'The Ummah, a violent fundamentalist Sunni Islamic group in Detroit, advocates a separate Islamic state' [...] 'Last month, as the result of a two-year investigation, the FBI raided the Michigan headquarters of the group' [...] 'In the course of the arrest, Windsor police patted down one of the suspect's wives. This sparked complaints about police insensitivity. Gary Smith, Windsor's chief of police, promptly issued a public apology.'"
I admit I do not have the details of this from another source. But I really have no reason to doubt this as it stands.

"The science is settled" on AlGore. He is indeed a moron.
Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees' "Gore: 'but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...'"
"If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was 'several million degrees,' we'd be a star."
This imbecile made $100 million off of, and has received world acclaim over, this hoax.


Balloon Boy Barry.

Stimulus Loot Spent on Soda Tax Study "'Two pro-free-market groups have discovered a $1 million stimulus grant to the University of Illinois to fund a study of the relationship between fat taxes and food consumption, diet quality, and obesity. Of concern is that the study results might be preordained.'"
1 million dollars of taxpayer money that didn't create jobs, and meant entirely to justify future taxes. The "stimulus" was a giant far Left slush fund. If Liberals had integrity they'd be outraged.

Dissent Is Criminal Remember when Liberals supposedly praised "speaking truth to power?" Yeah, that was crap. And here's some proof. "Bob Bauer, the husband of Anita 'My Favorite Political Philosopher Is Mao' Dunn, has been appointed as the new White House counsel. [...] No one should forget that it was Bauer, as the general counsel for the Obama presidential campaign, who wrote a letter to the Justice Department on October 17, 2008, asking that a special prosecutor investigate Republicans like John McCain for talking publicly about voter fraud."
"we now have a White House counsel who has asserted that anyone who talks about voter fraud [...] should be investigated and prosecuted by the Justice Department for voter intimidation. [...] given the serious concerns about the politicalization of the Justice Department under Eric Holder, perhaps we should all be worried"

Ohio taxpayers paying to defend government snoops "Ohio taxpayers are right in the middle of the civil rights lawsuit that Samuel Joseph — 'Joe the Plumber' — Wurzelbacher has filed against three former state employees, charging that they illegally accessed his confidential information through state databases.
Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray’s office is defending former state employees"
"Democrat Cordary says he’s just doing what the law tells him. [Aw... the poor servant of statism is just forced, forced he tells us, by that nasty paperwork] But there are exceptions in the law to allow the AG discretion NOT to use taxpayers’ money to defend indefensible government employees"
"'These people violated the privacy of an Ohio citizen and they did it, it would appear, to advance a partisan political campaign, and I think taxpayers will be shocked to find that their tax dollars are going to defend them,'" More of the Liberal version of "speaking truth to power."

Clint Eastwood says America is becoming more 'juvenile'

"We're 'becoming more juvenile as a nation,' he said. 'The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.'"

There's government efficiency for you. $1,392,920 per job?

Stimulus of $787,000,000,000.
Jobs created ("or saved" is disgustingly, insultingly dishonest) after removing the BLATANT FRAUD continuing to come to light, 565,000.

75,343 Bogus jobs 'created or saved' by the Stimulus
Includes interactive map!

Which reminds me, "nobody messes with Joe."

75,000 fake jobs. I wonder what it would look like if someone DID mess with Joe, Barry.

Anyway, that comes to roughly $1,392,920 PER JOB.

In what world does that POSSIBLY come out as worth the expense?

Our population as of about 10AM is 307,962,628. That 787 billion could have paid out $2,555 to every single citizen in America. While I would not have supported that, it's a hell of a better way to spend it than a MILLION a job.

At what point does it become undeniable to even the most devoted follower that this administration is either the most incompetent of all time or deliberately crashing our economy for their own power?

(EDIT:) More on this.
Creating Job Creation? Lawmakers Question Obama Administration Stimulus Claims
"A raft of reports of questionable or downright faulty jobs numbers -- including many uncovered by ABC News that show dozens of jobs created and millions of dollars spent in congressional districts that don't exist -- has cast a harsh spotlight on the jobs claims connected to the $787 billion stimulus package."
"NOBODY MESSES WITH JOE", huh Barry?

The Stimulus was a slush fund for the radical Left. When we find out where the money really went it may be too late.

The burden of proof is on you, Libs. Your ideology prevents you from taking responsibility for the results of your actions. When this goes sour, the American people are going to start doing so.



My previous comments on this issue


Pat Buchanan has some excellent questions

Did you all hear the great news yesterday? It turns out self examinations for breast cancer are pointless, and women in their forties don't really need them. The news was everywhere yesterday. Gosh, that's a relief.

Here was the headline at CNN:
Task force opposes routine mammograms for women age 40-49

"Task force." Hoo boy. That sounds like a group we needn't question.

"Women in their 40s should not get routine mammograms for early detection of breast cancer, according to updated guidelines set forth by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force."

Too few are going to question beyond that. Luckily for the majority of the herd, some will. Who exactly is the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force?

Here is a post from writerspleasure that everyone, especially women, should read.

Please keep that post in mind as you consider the Democrats are attempting to take over all health care and the related decisions. That means what government decides will be the rules we all follow, period, no matter how many breasts or lives are lost.

Below is the cover of Newsweek, a rag anyone rational accepts as Liberal.

Another Palin Hit Job: Newsweek Cover Claims Former Alaska Governor 'Bad News' for Everybody

I get it. It's an unabashed dimwitted propagandist hit piece from a far Left rag. That's fine. The only person who still reads Newsweek is the kind of delusional dolt who watches Keith Olbermann for other than a laugh.

But this cover is where Liberal women prove themselves hypocrites and liars yet again.


"The wizards of smart at Newsweek took an image from a shoot of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine for the cover"

Don't get me wrong. She looks damn good, and good for her.

The use of this image in this context was obviously to demean and objectify her. Supposed "feminists" and others who claim to be concerned about the plight of the poor downtrodden woman in America won't utter a peep about this. If it were someone with the "correct" politics, meaning far-Left, they'd be protesting and screeching about the insult to the gender.

Like her or not, agree with her politics or not, Sarah Palin was a successful Mayor, a successful Governor, stood up to the old fat boys club of her own party, ran a business, was nominated for Vice President of the United States, rallied a significant number of voters, all while rearing several children, and can commercial fish, as well as hunt, gut and provide for those children from right off the land if necessary. And as an added bonus, all of this while looking beautiful doing it.
In short, remove the far Left fanaticism factor and as far as skills go she is pretty much a Renaissance woman, the epitome of what feminism is supposedly all about. She's done it all. She can handle it all.
Does that mean she should be worshiped or even liked? Not necessarily. But when she is mocked or objectified, and in ways entirely based on her gender, women truly interested in promoting respect for women should be outraged.

Because her politics aren't correct, Liberal women, those who consider themselves feminist, gleefully celebrate when she is objectified, mocked and attacked. This is yet another of the countless examples of Liberal hypocrisy and fanaticism. Any woman who calls herself a feminist and looks at this Newsweek cover without being offended proves what she truly is.

There is no humor to be found from Obama, because he's so brilliant and full of awesomely awesome leg tingly awesomeness. So the Liberals tell us.

A HUGE H/T to freakylynx for what is the funniest thing I've seen in days. (Bonus humor for those familiar with Philly at the end)

LISTEN UP Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, Late night hosts and the rest of you dishonest and fanatical Liberal clowns. How hard was this?

Damn funny:

Hm. It seems as if nothing this man has ever said to the public in general has been truthful. Since Liberals never condemn his constant lies one must assume they support them. That's worth remembering.

From that to this...
Obama's NYC Show: Starring Khalid Mohammed

"The latest affront to American security is the Obama administration's decision to hold civilian trials for five of the 9/11-associated terrorists. For now, five other Gitmo inmates are scheduled to be tried as enemy combatants on foreign soil by military tribunals that will apply comparatively swift military justice.
Which raises the question: Why try five in civilian court and five by military commission? Quite simply, the dynamic duo of Barack Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, devised a way to put President Bush on trial after all."

The Obama/Holder publicity stunt is highlighted by the fact that Mohammed had already sent a letter to a military judge expressing his desire to plead guilty.

Of course, we shouldn't be surprised by the antics of Eric Holder. After all, he is the one who pardoned, among others, sixteen FALN terrorists in 1999 as Deputy Attorney General for President Bill Clinton. 'The pardon was widely seen as an attempt to curry favor with Puerto Rican voters ahead of Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate bid.' Oddly, the terrorists never had to petition for clemency or show remorse.
I guess appointing Eric Holder was consistent with viewing waterboarding as torture and offering Miranda rights to captured terrorists in Afghanistan."

"The problems with trying terrorists in civilian court are too numerous to cover in one essay, so I have narrowed the following legal analysis to the 'torture' issue -- which happens to be the reason for having a show trial in civilian court in the first place."

"Now, the real craziness of the pending scenario is that Obama and Holder have been running around saying that waterboarding is illegal torture. In other words, they have already supported the defense of the man they now wish to prosecute in civilian court. A fiction novelist would be hard-pressed to come up with a story so ridiculous. Let's hope the bulk of the evidence connecting Mohammed to 9/11 comes from sources other than his confessions."

"If by some chance the judge doesn't toss the case because of Holder's conflicted idiocy and Mohammed is found guilty, he may then turn to the federal appellate process and waste the resources of that system for years to come.
Apparently, Messrs. Obama and Holder believe they will showcase to the world the moral high ground of the new administration. More likely, however, they will demonstrate that their leftist ideology is causing a seismic shift away from protecting America's own interests."

Aside from all of this, NYC, already the #1 most likely terrorist target, is likely put to significant extra risk while a potential martyr of militant Islam is being tried there. There is NO WAY the guy ultimately in charge of and advised by the FBI, the CIA, US military intelligence and Justice Department isn't aware of this.

Obama does not care about dead soldiers or civilians, except as political tools. The evidence is obvious and ongoing ("I want to give a shout out"). By extension, neither do the Liberals who choose to support him unless they are imbeciles. They will all be responsible for any death of innocents from this. That's by their own rules, as we learned from eight years under Bush. And if this vermin is set free, if the trial becomes the circus it almost surely must, oh the backlash to the Communisty Organizer in Chief and the Obamunist fanatics.

This is what Liberals consider bipartisan debate, compromise, discussion, unity. Remember this when you hear those cuddly catch phrases from them. This is what they ALWAYS mean.

Our future, from Congress to your local school board.


And with a one Trillion dollar slush fund ("stimulus") to work with, they can make sure that within a few years there are a couple of ACORN or SEIU members in every hall to make sure pesky challengers receive a good talking to.

I enjoyed this.



#4 is certainly something that will cause every Liberal to gasp in horror and outrage. What a crazy concept.

If the GOP plans a new Contract with America they should include this.


Tax Day should be change to October 15th.

The financially unwise would get their checks around Christmas. Always nice. It'll save the extra finance costs for those who go into debt waiting for their refund. (Generally the poor and lower middle class)
There would be increased employment pre-Christmas at the IRS.

But here's the real reason.

Let people have to face their income tax filing right before the November elections. Maybe then they'll start to wake up.

Obama urges Congress to put off Fort Hood probe

"WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Fort Hood rampage until federal law enforcement and military authorities have completed their probes into the shootings at the Texas Army post, which left 13 people dead.

On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to 'resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater.' He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.

'The stakes are far too high,' Obama said in a video and Internet address released by the White House"

"Obama said he was not opposed to hearings — eventually. But he strongly pressed lawmakers to hold off until the probes now under way are completed."

Let me get this straight. Obama says Congress should hold off, because OBAMA doesn't want this to turn political? AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAA!

Because, you know, he's the last person ever to get partisan! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA! We can trust him completely to have an objective view.

Let's review.
Who do the military and law enforcement answer to? That's right. The Executive branch.
So, say, for instance...

...if the FBI had more than enough evidence to red flag this scumbag as a terrorist but didn't act on it due to incompetence or political correctness (which is almost certainly true at this point)...

... or the Army (whose Chief of Staff said last week that losing their diversity would be a greater tragedy than a traitor and terrorist going on an unfettered ten minute shooting spree on an army base murdering 13 and injuring 20+ more of his fellow soldiers) had more than enough complaints and warning to warrant an investigation but didn't due to political correctness ...

... and they are investigating themselves, then answering to the Executive, there should only be oversight after?

Once they've investigated themselves, they then answer to the Obama Administration.

Attorney General Eric Holder - dropped the won case regarding voter intimidation by Black Panthers, recommended pardoning Weather Underground terrorists Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg, Puerto Rican FALN terrorists likewise received pardons due to Holders efforts, key in pardoning Marc Rich, and called America, "a nation of cowards" on race.

Barry Obama - has made obvious over the last ten months he has brought Chicago thuggery and corruption in full force into the White House, puts his ideology above everything, is THE MOST GUILTY of political theater and stagecraft and has made his indifference to these dead soldiers obvious ("I want to give a shout out"), and let's not forget, said he didn't have all the facts but he knew the Cambridge Police acted stupidly.

So when the folks it appeared screwed up are allowed to investigate themselves, they're going to report to that crew, and we're going to get the truth?

Is there ANYONE besides Modern Liberals gullible or stupid enough to believe this load of crap?

Obama wants months or years for a cover up, and for everyone to forget. Meanwhile, he paints anyone who tries to pursue the truth as evil, committing "political stagecraft" with dead warriors. Our President is a scumbag of the first order, vying to be the worst President of the last 100 years. I wish Congress all the luck in their investigation.

Eliot Spitzer to lecture at Harvard ethics center

A MADAM is lecturing Harvard on ethics, and rightly so. THAT is how backwards Liberal ethics are.

"'I am greatly intrigued as to what Mr. Spitzer could contribute to an ethical discussion when as Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer of NY he broke numerous laws for which he has yet to be punished,' the madam, Kristin Davis, wrote in the letter, which is posted on her website. 'As Attorney General he went around arresting and making examples out of the same escort agencies he was frequenting.'"

Harvard is primarily a rabidly Liberal institution. This is their excuse.
"'He's not speaking about ethics. He's here to talk about a research project we're launching on institutional corruption,'"

Oh. Well I guess it's okay for him to speak at the Ethics Center. After all, his crimes as chief law enforcement officer of the state and career hypocrisy are no big deal if the agenda is one worth pushing...

"The talk is titled, 'From Ayn Rand to Ken Feinberg – How Quickly the Paradigm Shifts. What Should Be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?'"

In other words, "YAY SOCIALISM!" [progressivism/communism/statism]

(Allow me to digress for a moment... "From AYN RAND"?!? Are these people utterly delusional?!? [Rhetorical question. Most are. The rest are thoroughly dishonest.] Someone tell me exactly when it was our markets were EVER randian! EVER! Progressivism [communism-lite, socialism en route to communism] had already infested this country before she even arrived here. To my knowledge the markets have had government interference since before Rand.
You want to tell me Harvard isn't Liberal? Then explain to me how the title of that lecture goes unchallenged. Anyway...)

I post this primarily to make a particular point.

When Liberals tell you they are bashing a particular Republican because the Republican is a hypocrite, the Liberal is a liar or a fool. Liberals do not care about hypocrisy. In fact they encourage it among their elite. They simply use anything they can to attack the GOP. So when one member of the GOP speaks of having standards such as "family values" and is found having fallen from those standards, Liberals, who take pride in having no standards, celebrate the fall, claiming it's the hypocrisy they hate. This is a lie. They hate what they see as their enemy. To the Modern American Liberal the agenda is all. Hypocrisy is just fine with them.

Man, this is even better than Democrats using homosexuals for the gay marriage debate. It's brilliant!

Bombshell: Obama bringing KSM to NYC for trial; former Bush AG Mukasey to respond at Federalist Society this afternoon

"Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official said Friday.

The official said Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce the decision later in the morning."

The racist, pro-terrorist Eric Holder/Obama Justice Department is going to bring the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks to NYC for federal trial.

This means demands for discovery of classified info, for more bashing at Bush.
It means arguments about whether TERRORISTS caught on FOREIGN soil should receive trials in civilian court.
It means arguments for a change of venue for added delay.
It means perpetuating the arguments about "torture."
It means focus on the outrage of victims of 9/11.

It's a giant bowl of extremist Left screeching, meaning non-Liberals will have to counter it.

It's going to be a circus, giving years of fodder to the Liberal Pravda media and pundits nationwide.


It's a GIANT distraction while the thugocracy in office continues to spend trillions in taxpayer dollars on growing their power base for permanent rule of the country.


This also means increasing the chance of terrorist attack on NYC. Couple that with the Liberalist protection of potential terrorists throughout the administration and military recently made obvious by the massacre at Ft Hood, and the danger skyrockets.

Well, since the Obamunists don't mind using soldier's lives for their political ends ("SHOUT OUT"), why not use terrorists ("TORTURE!") and innocent residents of New York City (Flyover for a photo op), too? In fact, a wave of terrorist attacks on NYC would be a heck of a crisis. And you never want to let a crisis go to waste.

c/o conservacorner. Instead of throwing a million bucks at another scumbag underhanded Liberal pretending to be a Republican for her scumbag underhanded union organizer husband, the GOP should put a few of these in every city. The second image in particular would be addressed if the "mainstream" media had any integrity.

Wow. Look at all these Republican special interests. Look at all those elephants among the top contributors. Hey! Don't a lot of those in the top 20 stand to gain from "universal health care?" Hm...
What's that one at number 6, fully 64 slots above the EvilBigOil Exxon, one of those EvilBigOil companies who supposedly own the Republican Party? Oh! It's the American Assn for Justice, formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, because Liberals don't change their ways, they just change their name. Wow. That's a lot of money to Dems.


The Democrat health care push has nothing to do with efficient health care, or about helping anyone but themselves. It is about POWER. It is about money and power for the Democrat Party, taking over permanent control of 1/6th of the economy while allowing them an excuse to justify regulating every aspect of every American's life. America is being sold snake oil so Democrats can permanently "rule". (Click the link. Carville openly admits that's their goal.) Do we really want to be "ruled?" I thought we fought a revolution to end that.

Item 1, let me give you a hypothetical.
Someone is raised Christian but not devout, grows up a Liberal and becomes a Planned Parenthood employee.
After a decade of working at PP they convert to evangelical Christianity and decide abortion is murder.
They begin preaching at work about how abortion is murder.
One day they walk into the center and shoot dead 13 innocent people and wound 20 others, all while screaming, "In the name of Christ."

Would the Left make the connection between the act and the religion? Or would they make every effort to distract from it?
Would they be reluctant to call it an act of terrorism?

Twisted hypocrisy. There is no excuse for it.

Item 2, enlightenment brought to me, and now you c/o writerspleasure (other great stuff at that link as well)

Flashback a few years. Then President Bush puts a ban on federal funding of fetal stem cell research.
Liberals screeched from the rooftops that Bush hates science because he is "banning stem cell research."
Proponents of the truth pointed out private companies were still able to perform whatever studies they wish.
This goes all unheard or ignored, and Bush remains branded for years, even reported by the Pravda media as "banning stem cell research."

Flash to the present. An amendment is added to the travesty that is the misnamed health care bill banning "federal funding for abortions."
Now the Liberals are screeching from the rooftops that the bill "bans abortions."

Twisted logic. This leads writerspleasure to the very true observation:
So the federal government will control all? No one could afford them privately? this is akin to bush not funding stem cells with federal money becoming turned into a "ban on stem cell research" with implied totality. [and if they are predicting future consequences, then they cannot deny our concern over future consequences, like death panel effects or medicare/social security deficit bombs as "mere speculation"? ]
