When an entire major party has excused itself from meaningful debate and a thoughtful U.S. senator like Orrin Hatch no longer finds it important to make sense and an up-and-comer like Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty attacks the president for giving a speech telling schoolchildren to work hard in school and get good grades, one starts to wonder if the country wouldn't be better off without them and if Republicans should be cut out of the health-care system entirely and simply provided with aspirin and hand sanitizer. Thirty-two percent of the population identifies with the GOP, and if we cut off health care to them, we could probably pay off the deficit in short order.
Absolutely, Garrison. But you'd better figure out how to pay for all those expensive government programs once you've killed us all off.

ReplyDeleteThe so-called cultural wars over abortion and prayer in the schools and pornography and gays did nothing about anything, except elect dullards to office who brought a certain nihilistic approach to governance that helped bring about the disaster in the banking industry that ate up a lot of 401(k)s, and all thanks to high-flyers in shirts like cheap wallpaper who never learned enough to let it discourage them from believing that they had magical powers over the laws of economics and could hand out mortgages to people with no assets and somehow the sun would come out tomorrow. The anti-regulation conservatives enabled those people. We're still waiting for an apology.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Libs are no longer satisfied with re-writing history and have begun re-writing the present.
Anybody with any interest in current events over the last ten years KNOWS what happened with Fannie Mae, Freddie Nac, the "red-lining" scam, etc. All were pushed by Leftists. It was one of their major victories in expanding class warfare.
Anyone who says different is a fool or a liar.

ReplyDeleteThe talks revealed the emerging fault lines within the administration, with military commanders solidly behind the request for additional troops and other key officials divided.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and special Afghan and Pakistan envoy Richard Holbrooke appeared to be leaning toward supporting a troop increase, the official said.
White House chief of staffRahm Emanuel and Gen. James Jones, Obama's national security adviser, appeared to be less supportive, the official said. Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the meeting, has been reluctant to support a troop increase, favoring a strategy that directly targets Al Qaeda fighters who are believed to be hiding in Pakistan.
Thank God we have Rahm Emanuel with his vast military experience and knowledge as part of our national security team.

ReplyDeleteI want to extend my sincerest apology to the Right Wing Republicans; the Tea Party people , the Birthers, etc. For the last year, I have been calling you "narrow minded bigots who are just hatin' on the president because he's black!" However, based on the recent Facebook "Obama Assassination Poll" , I stand corrected. You guys don't hate him because he's black. You hate him because he's smart...and black.
Um, no.

Hey, Paladin... Interesting article. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe centerpiece of a treasure trove of new fossils, the skeleton—assigned to a species called Ardipithecus ramidus—belonged to a small-brained, 110-pound (50-kilogram) female nicknamed "Ardi." (See pictures of Ardipithecus ramidus.)
The fossil puts to rest the notion, popular since Darwin's time, that a chimpanzee-like missing link—resembling something between humans and today's apes—would eventually be found at the root of the human family tree. Indeed, the new evidence suggests that the study of chimpanzee anatomy and behavior—long used to infer the nature of the earliest human ancestors—is largely irrelevant to understanding our beginnings.
Now I have to go to a stupid meeting. Ugh.

Hi all y'all! This is REALWEST! Got a short break between chores and thought I'd spend it with you fine folks.
ReplyDeleteOh, and from Rasmussen:
"60% Favor Less International Economic Oversight, Not More
Thursday, October 01, 2009
At last week’s G20 summit, the leaders of the world’s most powerful nations pushed ahead with plans for greater international coordination of their national economic policies. But 60% of Americans think international organizations should have less influence on U.S. economic policy, not more.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 15% believe international organizations should have more influence on U.S. economic policies, while another 15% say international oversight should remain about the same as it is now.
A solid majority of Republicans and adults not affiliated with either major political party say international groups should have less say over the U.S economy. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats agree."
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/september_2009/60_favor_less_international_economic_oversight_not_more
Which is another way of saying that 53% of DEMOCRATS think there should be MORE International Oversight of our economy. What beter example of One World types vs. Nationalists?
realwest!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to catch up with you, like, forever. Have you tried O'Doul's Amber? I like it much better than the regular O'Doul's, or the other non-alcoholic beers. Try it if you haven't.
And also from Rasmussen:
ReplyDelete"Forty-three percent (43%) of Americans say it's a bad idea for President Obama to go overseas at this time to help Chicago make its final presentation to the International Olympic Committee. But 36% disagree and think it's a good move on the president's part"

Did Rasmussen ask how many thought it was a good idea for Michelle to go over and make a damn fool of herself and insult Europe by talking about it was a sacrifice for her to come but she did it for the children?
ReplyDeleteHey{Red} well no, that didn't ask that question in particular, but they did report that:
ReplyDelete"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that one-out-of-five adults (21%) are not sure if the trip to Copenhagen, Denmark is a good idea or a bad one.
But then Americans are almost evenly divided on how important it is for Chicago to be the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Forty-eight percent (48%) say it is at least somewhat important while 49% take the opposite view. These figures include 15% who believe it is very important and 22% who say it is not at all important."

Heh.... what does it say about us that so many seem to have dogs as icons?
One of my bull dogs gets called "Poo" most of the time. Came from when he was a puppy and pooped everywhere/anytime without warning.
I know a wonderful black lab who has been trained for hunting. She'll come out of the lake and won't shake until she's given the command, "shake". If you tell her "back", she'll back up. Just so smart. She's a good old girl.

ReplyDeleteeschew, there are a lot of dog lovers here for sure. Why do we always end up with so many different names for them? My Willie is we-we or willie-we and Waylon is tinky pumpkin. red, I wish luke was trained like that, actually he's really pretty good with commands. One that he hasn't mastered and probably never will is "No, I don't want to play ball"
ReplyDeleteredstateredneck said...

Yes. His actual AKC name is Quinton, but he also gets called "brown dog" (to differentiate him from "white dog", the other bull dog - Bosley), or "big dog".
We just have JD. Pic is my avatar. 12 years old now....has some hip problems. He's the best dog we've ever had. Smart, great with the kids, never a problem, even as a puppy.

Yeah, the puppy (7 months) drives everyone nuts when we sit down to watch TV in the evening, crawling all over us, biting/chewing on hands, toes, clothes..... So we roll a rope-ball through the house and he chases it (bowling with white dog) until he's worn out, then he wanders off and sleeps.
Desert Dog, is JD a mix? Yeah, that last trip to the vet is hard (so hard in fact turn has the turnwife do it) Good luck.

ReplyDeleteAbso-freaking-lutely. ; ) (Though I did not delete one of yours.)
There are a lot of moderators, and they've all been asked to delete remarks about blog disputes, and even mentions of other blogs that are involved in disputes.
Please don't take any of this personally - we understand why people feel compelled to mention these things to one another, but we're just trying to steer people away from it while they're here.
This includes benign remarks, so that others won't be tempted to respond in kind. Once that happens, the next thing you know lines are being crossed and suddenly that's the focus of C2 - we don't want that to happen, and that's just for the good of the community, so that we can build the kind of site we're seeking to build.
If you get one deleted, please don't feel targeted or anything - we're just trying to keep it all on track and though it might seem excessive or anal-retentive : ), we don't mean to single anybody out...we're just trying to prevent the issue from spreading.
Yes, she can. As can I, and several other people. :)

He's a mutt..and he's an awesome dog. He watchs and guards the kids. He loves and guards the cats too (we have three). It's like he understands when I talk to him. Very smart dog. House breaking took one day. We can walk him without a leash. He comes when you call. A GREAT dog.

Sixty Years of Chinese Communism
There are, it is sometimes said, "a million truths in China." As the Communist Party celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic today, there are only three worth keeping in mind.
First, the Chinese state will try to project strength. There will be fearsome weapons and 200,000 soldiers and performers in a grand procession in the center of Beijing, meant to convince onlookers of the power of the communist superstate. Do not be impressed. If communists do one thing well, it is staging spectacles. Destitute North Korea, for instance, is even better than China in putting on perfectly synchronized parades and mass gatherings. The National Day march says little about the effectiveness, resilience or vigor of China's one-party political system.

Creepy? Really? I have been there a few times, I always thought it was pretty cool. The Trade Center Tower's were neat too. They had a this scale thing in the elevator at the World Trade Center. Going up, your weight, with gravity adjusted is like 1000 lbs. Going down, you weigh like, 50 lbs.
My older kids and I are suckers for tall buildings though. Sears Tower, Hancock Tower in Chicago...the ESB and the Trade Center in NY....Visited them all a few times. I want to see the new observation deck at the Sears Tower now.
Desert Dog: If you like tall buildings you should check out the CN Tower. They had a glass floor years ago in the central ring. You get some great views from there. One of these days I will go back for a second time. I remember watching that sucker being built in 75-76. A real feat of engineering.
