)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the “Idiot known as Bush” was “Installed” (&lt;i&gt; by decree of the  “Masters of the Universe” and THEIR “Supreme Court&lt;/i&gt;”) it was only a  matter of time before the middle class was reduced to poverty and  serfdom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way we as a people are ever going to take back or country  from the Oligarchy and change the downward trajectory our country has  been in since 2000 is to hold the people we elect accountable for the  votes they make….the money they take from special interest’ and their  slimy ass lobbyist bag men…………&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hold these hypocrites to account for everything they do when the cameras are not on them……………&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pAey3BTcnHQ/To_pu8b-mtI/AAAAAAAAAZs/Vt0hO0cI4W8/s320/ame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

I  want so badly to see the will of the people  overcome the powerful forces arrayed against.&lt;br /&gt;I want so much to believe that one day our media will begin to remember  what and who they really are…not the “Corporate Stooges,” “the Meat  Puppets” and “Talking Monkey” we see spewing the Corporate lies night  after night…Line after line…Day after day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want so much to believe that we as a people can prevail but I live  in the real world&amp;nbsp;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 5th, protestors were attacked again while the Nations media did their best to ignore what was happening in their own back yard.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/occupy-wall-street-nypd-police-brutality-video_n_997414.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Huffington Post:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Just before 8 p.m. Wednesday, reportedly at the corner of Broadway  and Wall Street, a &lt;b&gt;New York Police Department officer appeared to turn  on a throng of activists with the Occupy Wall Street movement, hitting  them with a baton&lt;/b&gt;. A video posted hours later to YouTube shows&lt;b&gt; the  officer wielding the baton with two hands -- like a baseball bat -- as  he swings at and strikes the demonstrators. At one point, a woman can be  heard shrieking in the background.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The white-shirt cop&lt;/b&gt;, most likely a supervisor, had stood next to at  least a half-dozen other officers, including other department brass. &lt;b&gt;The  video shows the officer appearing to nudge a spectator out of the way,  back up and raise his baton. He then gets off three swings before the  crowd appears to surge toward him &lt;/b&gt;-- digital cameras and video recorders  held high.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;  This may be the first of many videos documenting clashes between the  police and Occupy Wall Street. At the end of the video a few in the  crowd chant: "The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!"&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is unclear from the video what provoked the officer's actions, but  HuffPost's Matt Sledge, who was at the scene, reports the baton  swinging took place after a handful of people had been arrested for  attempting to cross a police barricade.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;When reached for comment Friday night, a New York Police Department  spokesman who refused to be identified said he had heard about the video  but had not seen it and therefore could not comment.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Throughout the night, activists had reported via Twitter that the  police had resorted to using pepper spray and had made some arrests. A  spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/live-updates-occupy-wall-street_n_996655.html" target="_hplink"&gt;later reported&lt;/a&gt; some 20 arrests in total.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fox 5, the local affiliate in New York, &lt;a href="http://www.myfoxny.com//dpp/news/occupy-wall-street-protest-broadens-scope-20111005" target="_hplink"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; that police officers had struck the station's journalists with batons and doused them with pepper spray:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xpOMlDVaXzc" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-YXuvhg8Ahw" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White Mice strike again!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tthis what our Politicians ( &lt;i&gt;and the "Meat Monkey's" that fling their verbal shit on what passes for "News" in our Country&lt;/i&gt; ) were complaining about when they rose up in righteous indignation at the abuses they saw in Egypt/Tunisia/Syria? Libya being dished out by those Government's goons against their own people?&lt;br /&gt;Did they not rail against the abuses they saw on their Tee Vee screens day in and day out and rush to align themselves with what they claimed was the "&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rights of FREE PEOPLES EVERYWHERE&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" to demand &lt;b&gt;JUSTICE&lt;/b&gt; when they, the people, were being oppressed by the powers that had enslaved the for so long? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did our Government not rush to bomb Libya after it's leader and his police state attacked and brutally crushed his people for demanding FREEDOM from tyranny?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did our Government not turn it's back on one of it's allies in Egypt's Mubarak when his people rose up and demanded that the boot of oppression be lifted from their necks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean...It was so bad that they just had to send ( CNN's ) Anderson "Pooper" sCooper to be one with his brothers in Egypt did they not?&lt;br /&gt;Why isn't ""Pooper" sCooper hanging out with &lt;b&gt;HIS&lt;/b&gt; people down on Wall Street?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask...."Why isn't our Government falling all over themselves to support the People demanding JUSTICE in our own back yard? Where are the speeches, the Air power, the military.

Quinn.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="body.text"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“I would hope that the chairman of our Democratic  Party in Illinois can find some time to attend events with Democrats  across the state and support their campaigns,” she continued. “If you  want Democrats to show up for you, you need to show up for them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This is how things are done here in Chicago.

I'm not talking about the estimated  30,000 individuals who visited Reliant Stadium yesterday for The  Response, a event endorsed by &lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/08/03/280108/profile-the-outlandish-beliefs-of-rick-perrys-prayer-rally-endorsers" target="_blank"&gt;religious extremists&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fact-sheet-gov-rick-perry%E2%80%99s-extremist-allies" target="_blank"&gt;known hate-mongers&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;b&gt;I'm talking about the 100,000 Texans who waited in line for free  school supplies, immunizations, fresh produce, and school uniforms.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7686252.html" target="_blank"&gt;Houston Chronicle&lt;/a&gt; reports:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Some families camped out for hours to gain  admittance into Houston's first-ever, citywide back-to-school event at  George R. Brown Convention Center, where free backpacks, school  supplies, uniforms, haircut vouchers, immunizations and fresh produce  were provided. Others were turned away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"It was getting beyond capacity," HISD spokesman Jason Spencer said. "If nothing else, it shows the need."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;While our three-term governor was busy self-promoting to evangelical  Christians in preparation to announce his bid for President, the actual  people he governs were attempting to mitigate the damage he's done to  regular working Texas families just trying to get by. While Perry's  faithful lined up to break their fast with &lt;a href="http://www.texastribune.org/texas-people/rick-perry/thousands-pray-some-break-fast" target="_blank"&gt;hot dogs and nachos&lt;/a&gt;, his constituents stood in the 90+ degree heat for bags of fruit and vegetables.  &lt;br /&gt;Sadly, there weren't enough school supplies available to meet the tremendous need:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Beatrice Jones, who has two children in the  Spring school district, arrived about 10:15 a.m. with her daughter and  niece, only to find the doors closed and a police officer announcing the  event was over. "They were supposed to have school supplies, but all we got was sweating and paid parking," Jones said. &lt;br /&gt;School Superintendent Terry Grier posted a Twitter message Saturday morning that &lt;b&gt;security personnel had estimated the crowd at 100,000.&lt;/b&gt; At about 10 a.m., officials made the call to close the doors. &lt;br /&gt;Although planners didn't know how many people would attend, they &lt;b&gt;expected to serve at least 25,000 children&lt;/b&gt;, officials said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Where are the gasping media reports of over 100,000 Texans waiting in  the hot sun for school supplies and food? Where are the statistics  about how Texas has some of the highest rates nationally of &lt;a href="http://www.laits.utexas.edu/txp_media/html/pov/features/ten_states/slide1.html" target="_blank"&gt;poverty&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/hunger-facts/hunger-and-poverty-statistics.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;food insecurity&lt;/a&gt;  in all of the breathless coverage of Rick Perry's 'Texas Miracle'?  Where was the caravan of reporters from news outlets across America,  interviewing the victims, rather than the worshipers, of the Perry  administration? I suppose it's nice that The Response had an almost  four-fold increase in turnout for a day of prayer over the expected  8,000, but it's horrifying that a charitable event for families of Texas  schoolchildren should also see such a tremendous increase in turnout.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After all, needy families are about as common in Texas as failed missives to the Almighty are at Reliant Stadium.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Am I crazy and naive to wish that those 30,000 in attendance at  Reliant had spent their time yesterday actually clothing the poor,  feeding the hungry, or visiting the sick, rather than just praying for  the free market to fix it for them?  &lt;br /&gt;Because while Rick Perry was ministering to the flock at the football stadium, it sure looks like a whole lot more of the &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A31-46&amp;amp;version=NIV" target="_blank"&gt;"least of these brothers and sisters"&lt;/a&gt; were waiting in line for school supplies yesterday, not waiting in line to sway and pray." &amp;nbsp; 			&lt;/blockquote&gt;And this is the man the Rethugs are drooling over themselves to run this country?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for "Christian Values eh?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in some deep shit in this country folks!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-5200721153051481058?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/5200721153051481058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=5200721153051481058' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5200721153051481058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5200721153051481058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2011/08/perrys-texas.html' title='Perry&apos;s Texas'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-2223093553577516570</id><published>2011-08-09T11:18:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-09T11:24:27.847-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This Is What Batshittery Looks Like!</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;The face of Tea Bagging Batshittery............................&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Millions of Americans, through no fault of their  own, have lost their jobs, homes, life savings and ability to send their  kids to college. Small businesses have been unable to get the credit  they need to expand their businesses, and credit is still extremely  tight. Wages as a share of national income are now at the lowest level  since the Great Depression with workers who still have jobs working  longer hours for lower wages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, when small business owners and Vermonters were being  turned down for loans at private banks, the Federal Reserve provided  trillions of dollars in loans at nearly zero interest to the largest  financial institutions, major corporations and some of the wealthiest  people in the world with virtually no strings attached.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;More than  two years ago, I asked Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal  Reserve, a few simple questions that I thought the American people had a  right to know: Who did the Fed bail out? How much did they receive?  What were the terms of this assistance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incredibly, the chairman  of the Fed refused to answer these fundamental questions about how  trillions of taxpayer dollars were being put at risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to  an amendment that I included in the Wall Street Reform and Consumer  Protection Act to audit and investigate the Fed, the American people are  finally getting answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, the  nonpartisan Government Accountability Office completed the first  independent investigation into the emergency actions taken by the  Federal Reserve. &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;As a result of this investigation, we now know that the  Federal Reserve provided a jaw-dropping $16 trillion in total financial  assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and  corporations in the world.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Among the investigation's key findings  is that the Fed unilaterally provided trillions of dollars in financial  assistance to foreign banks and corporations from South Korea to  Scotland. In my view, no agency of the United States government should  be allowed to bail out a foreign bank or corporation without the direct  approval of Congress and the president.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The GAO also determined  that the Fed lacks a comprehensive system to deal with conflicts of  interest, despite the serious potential for abuse. In fact, according to  the report, the Fed provided conflict-of-interest waivers to employees  and private contractors so they could keep investments in the same  financial institutions and corporations that were given emergency loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For  example, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase served on the New York Fed's board  of directors at the same time that his bank received more than $390  billion in financial assistance from the Fed. Moreover, JP Morgan Chase  served as one of the clearing banks for the Fed's emergency lending  programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The GAO investigation also revealed that the Fed  outsourced virtually all of the operations of its emergency lending  programs to private contractors like JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and  Wells Fargo. The same firms also received trillions of dollars in Fed  loans at near-zero interest rates. Altogether some two-thirds of the  contracts that the Fed awarded to manage its emergency lending programs  were no-bid contracts. Morgan Stanley was given the largest no-bid  contract, worth $108.4 million, to help manage the Fed bailout of AIG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Getting  this type of disclosure was not easy. Wall Street and the Federal  Reserve fought it every step of the way.&lt;/b&gt; But, as difficult as it was to  lift the veil of secrecy at the Fed, it will be even harder to reform  the Fed so that it is more responsive to the needs of ordinary  Vermonters and small business owners. One thing is abundantly clear:  Vermonters and people throughout this country deserve a government that  works for them, not just the CEOs on Wall Street.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3" target="_blank"&gt;The Fed Audit Statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h1 style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-373095395631356917?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/373095395631356917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=373095395631356917' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/373095395631356917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/373095395631356917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2011/07/stunned.html' title='Stunned!'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-4110106201570782775</id><published>2011-07-16T08:24:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-16T08:31:07.670-05:00</updated><title type='text'>So Much For Those "Small Donors"</title><content type='html'>Obama is amassing quite a financial war chest. It was reported recently that the Obama campaign has raised&amp;nbsp; 86 million dollars in the second quarter of the year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow! 86 million dollars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KzAc5R9X1vs/Tcpne7j1NcI/AAAAAAAAAGA/2ozjRpvhrak/s1600/01.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KzAc5R9X1vs/Tcpne7j1NcI/AAAAAAAAAGA/2ozjRpvhrak/s1600/01.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Obama and his campaign love to claim that "average" folk are what keeps his campaign coffers stuffed to the breaking point with their so-called "small" contributions.The Obama campaign claimed the same back in 2008. "The people" gave all they could and that was the source of all that cash Obama raised...or was it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems Obama and his campaign are trying to get you to believe that instead of the vast majority of these funds coming from Billionaire/Millionaire/Corporate/Wall Street/ Over Seas shady donors, that they are actually coming from Mom and Pop, Elderly, teens, young folk, starving poor and quickly starving middle class folk that just love them some Obama. Love him enough to send, on average...$69.00!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bullshit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, at lest, two reporters are questioning that story...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://techpresident.com/blog-entry/obama-raises-whopping-86m-not-grassroots-they-want-you-think"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Personal Democracy Forum:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://techpresident.com/blog-entry/obama-raises-whopping-86m-not-grassroots-they-want-you-think" title="Obama Raises a Whopping $86M, But Not As Grassroots as They Want You To Think"&gt;Obama Raises a Whopping $86M, But Not As Grassroots as They Want You To Think&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama campaign manager Jim Messina has announced that Obama 2012 has  raised a whopping $86 million in the second quarter of this year,  shattering George W. Bush's prior record of $50 million in a quarter,  and way ahead of Obama's fundraising pace four years ago. The official  report will be filed with the FEC this Friday, but Messina continued the  campaign's tradition of reporting "first" to its grassroots email list  via YouTube video. The numbers are impressive, but there's a catch.&lt;br /&gt;Messina emphasizes the grass-roots base of Obama 2012 in the video,  rattling off statistic after statistic: 31,000 face-to-face meetings  conducted by organizers; 290,000 conversations; 650 local organizing  meetings; 60 field offices set up across the country. These &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; impressive numbers, and further indication of how the Obama team tracks field data. &lt;br /&gt;But when it comes to the hard numbers of campaign finance, Messina  tries to pull a fast one on his supposedly grassroots audience when it  comes to describing, as he puts it, "who we raised it from." He proudly  touts the campaign's 552,462 individual donors who gave more than  680,000 contributions in the second quarter. If you had any doubt that  we are living in an age of mass participation in national politics,  enabled by the internet's ease of communication, here's more proof.  Ninety-eight percent of all those contributions, he notes, were in  amounts of $250 or less, with an average donation size of just $69,  proof of Obama's roots "small dollar, ordinary people" kind of politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fromtheleft.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/obama-liar-poster1.jpg?w=196&amp;amp;h=293" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://fromtheleft.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/obama-liar-poster1.jpg?w=196&amp;amp;h=293" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There's just one problem with this claim: The $86 million raised by  the Obama campaign in this quarter didn't come with an average donation  size of $69. That's because, as Messina notes near the video's end, $38  million of that whopping total went to the Democratic National  Committee, via the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee  that Obama controls. At OVF fundraisers, a donor can give up to $5,000  to the presidential campaign committee and another $30,800 to the DNC.  (Here's an &lt;a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/o2012-july13rooftopgen44?custom1=185162&amp;amp;utm_source=Chicago+Latino+Network+List&amp;amp;utm_campaign=bd77eef9a7-Gen44_2011&amp;amp;utm_medium=email"&gt;invitation&lt;/a&gt; to one that happened recently in Chicago, starring Rahm Emanuel.) &lt;br /&gt;"We can bet," says Michael Malbin of the Campaign Finance Institute,  which is working on analyzing the details buried in the campaign's  forthcoming 15,000 page report to the FEC, &lt;b&gt;"that most of the party money  came from people who maxed out. "&lt;/b&gt; He added in an email to me,  &lt;b&gt;"Interestingly, by going to people for 30K this calendar year, he can go  back again next year for another 30K.  It's one of the perqs of  incumbency."&lt;/b&gt;  An &lt;a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/25/nation/la-na-0625-obama-donors-20110625"&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;  by the Center for Responsive Politics of DNC fundraising between  January and May 2011 found that the committee raised $11 million from  donors contributing more than $30,000 compared with just $3 million  raised in that category by the Republican National Committee. Big checks  of $10,000 and up were 38% of that haul, compared to just 18% in that  category for Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;Multiply 680,000 by $69 and you get about $46.9 million. &lt;b&gt;Messina's  appears to want things both ways--a record-breaking money haul AND the  appearance of being a campaign "owned" by ordinary people. That may be  the case to the extent that you think maxing-out donors from Wall  Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood are "ordinary people."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And then there's this from &lt;a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/07/obama-campaign-taps-wealthy-big-bucks" style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Washington Examiner.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"We did this from the bottom up,"&lt;/b&gt; Barack Obama's  campaign manager, Jim Messina, said in a new video touting the  President's fundraising success. Messina and other Democrats are  peddling the line that Obama's massive $86 million haul last quarter  resulted from mobs of regular Americans cutting small checks. In truth,  Obama's campaign is like every other presidential campaign -- &lt;b&gt;mostly  funded by wealthy individuals and special interests, many of whom profit  from the president's policies.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;*snip* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;Of the $31.1 million the DNC has raised in  contributions this year, almost two-thirds -- $19.3 million -- has come  from individuals giving $10,000 or more, according to my analysis of FEC  data. So, &lt;b&gt;judging by all available data, rich people cutting big checks  are providing an overwhelming majority of Obama's re-election money.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img1.newser.com/square-image/43552-20110401000500/small-donors-didnt-drive-his-campaign-study.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img1.newser.com/square-image/43552-20110401000500/small-donors-didnt-drive-his-campaign-study.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;Obama's reliance on rich donors cutting  five-figure checks isn't unusual or surprising, but it does clash with  the image his campaign puts forward. Messina's web videos, like most of  Obama's fundraising emails, push the myth that the campaign is mostly  funded by ordinary people cutting $50 checks. It may be true that 98  percent of donations to the Obama campaign were $250 or less, but that's  not a very telling statistic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;&lt;b&gt;First, a donor could cut 20 $250 checks to  contribute the $5,000 maximum to the campaign. More importantly, Messina  never broke down that 98 percent and 2 percent by dollar amount. &lt;/b&gt;Maybe  half of the campaign's money came from that "richest 2 percent," to  adapt an Obama phrase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;Also, Messina was only parsing contributions  to Obama for America (where donors are limited to $2,500 for the  primary, and $2,500 for the general), and not the contributions to the  DNC (where donors can give $30,800 per year), thus skewing the data  toward smaller contributions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;This small-dollar donor myth is part of  Obama's effort to portray himself as the scourge of special interests.  Obama proxies on Wednesday were casting his $86 million haul in the  context of "secret" money promised by libertarian billionaires Charles  and David Koch. The narrative is clear: Obama is the man of the people,  while Republicans are the party of Big Business. That's half-right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Here's something that is sure to make you split a rib laughing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="BodyCopy"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"We didn't accept one single dollar from  Washington lobbyists,"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Messina also bragged. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;* Bold emphasis mine*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't hold your breath waiting to see Obama or his Campaign flunkies questioned on this by the "lame Stream media."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well..............................&lt;b&gt;So much for Grandma's "small donation!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-4110106201570782775?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/4110106201570782775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=4110106201570782775' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4110106201570782775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4110106201570782775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2011/07/so-much-for-those-small-donors.html' title='So Much For Those &quot;Small Donors&quot;'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KzAc5R9X1vs/Tcpne7j1NcI/AAAAAAAAAGA/2ozjRpvhrak/s72-c/01.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-1299832231984687592</id><published>2011-07-15T17:43:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-15T18:04:18.339-05:00</updated><title type='text'>.And Then They Said This.........</title><content type='html'>Oh how the Stupid Burns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want a good laugh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch this......................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="265" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qtC4gT-_Nj0" width="300"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BwaaHaaaHaaa....And they call it a "News Organization?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Doocy and EVERY single person that works for this fake News organization is a freaking JOKE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/15/fox-and-friends-defends-n_n_899934.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crook and Liars:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The phone hacking scandal surrounding News Corp is a huge, huge story—except to "Fox and Friends" co-host Steve Doocy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/27441_100000644211744_9426_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/27441_100000644211744_9426_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Doocy and his guest, the colorfully-named Bob Dilenschneider  dismissed the hubbub on Friday's show. &lt;b&gt;Doocy said that the media was  "piling on" and was ignoring more important issues. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;"We've got some serious problems in this country ... and what do they do?" he said.

Whatever  happens this fall or next, the summer of 2011 is the summer of Obama.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Okay...Now pick yourselves off the floor.

But even if you disagree with him, even if you  hate him, even if you are his enemy, at this point you must admire him.  The turning point came that glorious week in the spring when, in the  space of a few days, he released his long-form birth certificate,  humiliated Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and  assassinated Osama bin Laden. The effortlessness of that political  triptych — three linked masterpieces demonstrating his total command  over intellectual argument, low comedy, and the spectacle of political  violence — was so overwhelmingly impressive that it made political  geniuses of the recent past like Reagan and Clinton&lt;b&gt; [FIG.2] &lt;/b&gt;seem  ham-fisted. Formed in the fire of other people's wars, other people's  financial crises, Obama stepped out of Bush's shadow that week, almost  three years after taking over the presidency." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;**snip**&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"We love Obama &lt;/b&gt;— even those who claim to despise him — because deep in  our hearts and all over our lives, we're the same way — both inside and  outside our jobs, our races, our cities, our countries, ourselves. With  great artists, often the most irritating feature of their work is the  source of their talent. &lt;b&gt;Obama's gift is the same as his curse: He's  somehow managed to be like the rest of us, only infinitely more so.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;I don't know about you but I'm about ready to bust a bladder here!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I don't know what else to say except that if you care to read the rest of this garbage, follow this &lt;a href="http://www.esquire.com/features/thousand-words-on-culture/loving-obama-0811"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;link&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;It's worth a good laugh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-5532071166337768174?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/5532071166337768174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=5532071166337768174' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5532071166337768174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5532071166337768174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2011/07/obots-strawberry-letter-22.html' title='An Obot&apos;s Strawberry Letter 22'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/vbxUtFDKz8k/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-8420127546408528484</id><published>2011-07-11T12:46:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-11T13:06:21.557-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Stupid Burns!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jb9J8XvOer0/S0kENJWlr5I/AAAAAAAAAKA/f0OljwNW8Sk/s320/burning+stupid.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jb9J8XvOer0/S0kENJWlr5I/AAAAAAAAAKA/f0OljwNW8Sk/s320/burning+stupid.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a pretty violent storm come through Chicago this morning and power was knocked out for a few hours.

The shit stain on the wealthy overlord's Lilly white underwear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what the rich and their political meat puppets ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;be them Democrat or Republican&lt;/span&gt; ) have always thought of those they deemed "Below" them.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xKLseHmrrMU/TXpIFDxF4DI/AAAAAAAAG1s/CSl5UznwrEU/s400/robber_barons_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 237px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xKLseHmrrMU/TXpIFDxF4DI/AAAAAAAAG1s/CSl5UznwrEU/s400/robber_barons_2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no illusions as to what the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Overlords"&lt;/span&gt; of this country would do to those of us that have not. I have no doubt that, if given the opportunity, millions of us would be put into shackles and forced to serve at the whims of the Uber rich and their Multi-National Corporations!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we sit and wring our hands, watching as our way of life is rapidly being dismantled. As our social safety nets are being torn down by a man many blindly followed as an agent of change ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;although 18 million voters knew better, it wasn't enough to keep their votes from being stolen. And...it was done in broad daylight without any fear of repercussion from the masses.&lt;/span&gt;) and the politicians  ( Be they Democrat or Republican ) who have sold their collective asses to the highest corporate bidder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These so-called "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Elected Officials&lt;/span&gt;" no longer care that you know that they despise you!&lt;br /&gt;They no longer hide their disgust at your "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parasitic subsistence&lt;/span&gt;" on the Governments corpse!&lt;br /&gt;They no longer hide the utter revulsion they hold for the poor!&lt;br /&gt;They no longer have any "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FEAR&lt;/span&gt;" of the very people that they pander to so that the votes they need are secured with the one hand as the other wields the blade that slices the very throat of those they just pandered to!&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and they no longer give a shit that you know that they consider the so-called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"middle Class&lt;/span&gt;" the nations piggy bank and if that Middle Class can not pay in treasure for the folly, the lifestyles and the excesses of the Versailles court, then by God they will squeeze it out in blood!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witness a "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;God Fearing, Bible quoting political prostitute&lt;/span&gt;" share, without fear of having his "REAL" constituents tar and feather him, share his thoughts on who should be made to pay and who he believes shouldn't:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8I9w6qIGutM" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="245" width="300"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/07/orrin-hatch-debt-poor-rich_n_892177.html"&gt;Huffington Post:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON -- Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) voted against beginning  debate on a measure that would have the Senate declare the rich should  share the pain of debt reduction Thursday, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a day after arguing that it's  the poor and middle class who need to do more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"I hear how they're so caring for the poor and so forth," Hatch said  in remarks on the Senate floor Wednesday, in reference to Democrats.  "The poor need jobs! And they also need to share some of the  responsibility."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now I know many of you can read between the lines here. You can hear Hatch's dog whistle. You know where he is going with this attack. By the way...even an ideologue of Hatch's considerable hypocrisy knows that if a person is in absolute poverty, there is NOTHING short of blood that can be squeezed from him/her. So his seeming compassion about not wanting ALL poor folk to pay is utter bullshit!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's unbelievable that a politician would publicly argue that the poor need to tighten their belts, shut the fuck up and share responsibility to ensure the rich are not inconvenienced by higher taxes on their stupendous riches!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time in America, we the people rose up and demanded better wages. We demanded safer working conditions. Shorter work hours. Fair pay for a fairs days work. Vacation time away from the pits that we toiled in. An end to child labor. Health care. Good roads. Better schools for our children. Safer products. Clean air and clean water to breathe and to drink. Etc...Etc..Etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These things were hard fought and hard won. Many lost lives and sacrificed everything in the pursuit of these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Once&lt;/span&gt;" a party that fought the forces of evil to ensure that  the masses would never again be subject to the cruel and inhuman  conditions that permeated the so called "Industrial Age."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That party was hijacked by the multi-millionaires yearning for absolute power and ways to enrich themselves further. Both parties have become a haven for the Uber Rich or a stepping stone for those that wish to enter that world. **&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cough cough..Obama anyone?&lt;/span&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That party was once a bastion of "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Liberal thinking&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;Of Progressive ideas meant to further enrich the lives of EVERYONE.&lt;br /&gt;It was a party of women. Of gays/Lesbians.&lt;br /&gt;A party that welcomed the poor.&lt;br /&gt;The immigrant.&lt;br /&gt;Those of and religion, race or creed.&lt;br /&gt;It was once a party that cared for the countries forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;A party of people that cared for it's countries sick and old.&lt;br /&gt;It cared for it's countries young and it didn't matter if they were black or white. Red or yellow. Straight or gay. Man or Woman!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was once the party I believed in. The party I belonged to. The party of my parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democratic Party!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihsERSyWOVU/TZuSqJleORI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/5hhp8GO06CU/s200/Class_War+2_250px.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihsERSyWOVU/TZuSqJleORI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/5hhp8GO06CU/s200/Class_War+2_250px.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, today I read that the man supposedly elected to bring "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hope and Change!&lt;/span&gt;" ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;although I nor millions of others were ever fooled by this propaganda bullshit&lt;/span&gt;.) We knew what he was and tried to warn those among us not to drink the Kool Aid! Little good that did. We were branded racist and told to either support the "Light Giver" or suffer the pain of not being COOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pandering &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Light Bringer"&lt;/span&gt; was enshrined on Mount Olympus for all the world to worship and all was well until "Obama the Great" decided to shed his cloak of many colors and reveal who he really was and is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Democratic pretender was known to many of us here in Chicago and millions more were hip to his charade from day one. He was gifted the Presidency and became Emperor to a country devastated by two wars that the previous &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;REPUBLICAN administration&lt;/span&gt; lied us into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An economy brought to it's knees by Wall Street's greed and excesses.&lt;br /&gt;A tsunami of jobs being shipped out of our country and the Fat Cats screaming that they need more regulation lest they lose a few million of of their BILLIONS!&lt;br /&gt;And the lose of our civil liberties and the curtailing of our rights by the increasingly militaristic "civilian "Goon Squads" we call the Police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on but I'm afraid no one is listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So......Today, I watched a Republican Senator argue for the poor to "Share" more of a responsibility to ensure the sensibilities of his rich corporate masters wouldn't have to endure  having to wipe their ass with 50 dollars bills instead of 100s!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it made me sick to my stomach!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I witnessed how a REAL prostitute does business!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-2660858092762787526?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/2660858092762787526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=2660858092762787526' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/2660858092762787526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/2660858092762787526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2011/07/these-politicians-no-longer-care-if-you.html' title='These Politicians No Longer Care If You Know That They Despise You!!!!!!'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xKLseHmrrMU/TXpIFDxF4DI/AAAAAAAAG1s/CSl5UznwrEU/s72-c/robber_barons_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-317240532807713925</id><published>2011-06-16T07:41:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-16T10:24:25.924-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Plank In Their Eye</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I_rRqZjTqu0/TNLEGuW4YfI/AAAAAAAAAyM/dv907z6i7gM/s1600/judge_plank_eye_hypocrite.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

What Rep. Weiner did was incredibly stupid but it was not illegal.  And yet, what David Vitter did was illegal and no one, not the slimy politicians, the national media nor the moral crusaders are calling for his scalp. More on that "God fearing" piece of pig excrement in a moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rep. Weiner should have known that there were folks out to claim his  (or any Democratic ) scalp. He should have known that nothing is safe nowadays and around ever corner and under every pile of dog shit a Breitbart waits to soil your shoes. This is the age we live in. He should have known that the women he was "sexting"  would sell their stories once the feeding frenzy began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Re-Pug-Nicans are all in a lather pointing their self-righteous fingers at the moral depravity that is Weiner yet in their midst sulk quite a few moral degenerates. John Boehner ( or do you say BONER?) is close to shedding tears at the thought of Rep. Weiner flaunting his " sizable package" to a few more than willing "female" participants. Maybe if he had flashed his "boner" in a "Men's toilet" at an "Airport in Minnesota, Johnny ( by the way..it's pronounced..B.O.N.E.R! Who the hell does Johnny think he's kidding? BOE is not pronounced BAY!) would have excused it.  After all, there are  Re-Thug-nican closet cases do love them some... eh hmm...

In contrast, Carville described Vitter  as "Louisiana’s junior senator and nobody really knows him or cares  that much about him," but concluded that, "if they paid with their own  money, I don’t think either one should resign." The Louisiana Republican  governor &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal" title="Bobby Jindal"&gt;Bobby Jindal&lt;/a&gt; said, "Senator Vitter has already addressed this....

Anthony Weiner mount, the party is being forced to confront its own  uncomfortable reality: sitting Senator David Vitter of Louisiana. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Vitter was discovered to have &lt;a href="http://blog.nola.com/times-picayune/2007/07/sen_vitters_number_appears_on.html" target="_hplink"&gt;regularly used the prostitution service of Deborah Jean Palfrey&lt;/a&gt;, also known as the D.C. Madam, after details of an investigation into Palfrey's service were leaked to &lt;em&gt;Hustler&lt;/em&gt; magazine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Vitter admitted to using the Washington, D.C.-based prostitution  service in July 2007. Even so, 27 prominent Republicans gave a total of  $161,700 to Vitter's 2010 reelection effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;One of those Republicans was John Cornyn, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Cornyn &lt;a href="http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/06/weinergate-cornyn-calls-on-rep.html" target="_hplink"&gt;called on Weiner to resign Wednesday&lt;/a&gt;.  In 2009, he gave Vitter $10,000 and as chair of the NRSC directed  another $42,800 to his campaign, according to Federal Election  Commission records.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;House Speaker John Boehner has yet to weigh in on Weiner, but if he  does, he may have to answer questions about the $5,000 he gave to Vitter  in 2010. Boehner was one of only three House Republicans to donate to  Vitter's campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In July 2007 Vitter admitted, first in a letter and then at a press  conference, to have used Palfrey's prostitution service when he served  in the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2004. Vitter was also  revealed to have &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/13/politics/main3055228.shtml" target="_hplink"&gt;scheduled prostitution appointments during House roll call votes&lt;/a&gt;.  Vitter had previously denied having an affair and paying for  prostitutes, citing family problems for his withdrawal from a bid for  the Louisiana governorship in 2002.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;After the Palfrey revelations, a New Orleans-based prostitute, Wendy Yow, came forward and &lt;a href="http://blog.nola.com/updates/2007/07/former_prostitute_confirms_vit.html"&gt;revealed that Vitter had regularly used her services&lt;/a&gt;  after he was elected to the House in a special election to replace Rep.  Bob Livingston, who retired to become a lobbyist after revealing his  own affair. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;*snip*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) stated, "I don't condone  his activity. And I think he should resign." Cornyn echoed Cantor's call  on Wednesday.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Other lawmakers who may be thinking twice before calling for Weiner's  resignation include Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), John  Barrasso (R-Wyo), John McCain (R-Ariz.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Jon Kyl  (R-Ariz.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Lisa  Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Orrin  Hatch (R-Utah), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Richard  Shelby (R-Ala.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Thad  Cochran (R-Miss.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Dave Camp (R-Mich.), Louie  Gohmert (R-Texas). Each contributed to Vitter's reelection campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And from &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.alternet.org/sex/57392/"&gt;Alternet&lt;/a&gt; there is this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There's not enough &lt;a href="http://www.buttpaste.com/"&gt;Boudreaux Buttpaste&lt;/a&gt; in the world that can wipe-clean a career like Vitter's-- now better known as &lt;a href="http://righthandthief.blogspot.com/2007/07/canal-steet-madam-says-vitter-was.html"&gt;The Guy Who Frequents Prostitutes and Asks To Wear a Diaper.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph6" id="paragraph6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Apparently  the whores of New Orleans call him "Vitter the Shitter."

He and his wife took the neo-&lt;em&gt;Antoinette&lt;/em&gt; position at their recent &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/david-vitter-party-poope_b_56509.html"&gt;press conference&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Let them eat shit."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph9" id="paragraph9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;David  said God, and His Wife Wendy, were willing to move on -- and so should  everyone else. After all, he still has plenty of gay marriages to wreck,  and black voters to disenfranchise! Let the man get on with his work!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph10" id="paragraph10"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;But his better half &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdawA7SrK3Q"&gt;upstaged him&lt;/a&gt;.  Wendy showed up for the cameras in a low-cut leopard print dress and  giant hoop earrings, to say she's forgiven Davy for everything and it  was time for the press to leave their family alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;*snip*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph14" id="paragraph14"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph14" id="paragraph14"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In 2000, Vitter was included in a &lt;em&gt;Newhouse News Service &lt;/em&gt;story about the strain of congressional careers on families.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph15" id="paragraph15"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;His wife, Wendy, was asked by the &lt;em&gt;Newhouse&lt;/em&gt;  reporter: If her husband were as unfaithful as Livingston or former  President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Rodham  Clinton?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph16" id="paragraph16"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter told &lt;em&gt;Newhouse News&lt;/em&gt;. "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage," she added. "Don't put fear down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;So, from what Mrs.Vitter implied, would that mean that Sen. Vitter is now a eunich?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.....There you have it. The Republicans have amnesia when it comes to their own tawdry indiscretions and lash out with their hypocritical morality when it suits their political interests. The Republican Party, with the help of the Media,  are very good at keeping their sexual indiscretions in the closet yet are quick to "Cast Stones" when it suits their purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hypocrisy is maddening and yet the Democratic party seems intent to destroy one of it's own to appease the Breitbarts of the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as we know, what Anthony Weiner did was not illegal.  They were "consenting" adults willing to pleasure themselves as millions do every day online. Was it smart of him to engage in this type of activity? He had to know that his scalp had a price attached to it. But at the end of the day I believe, as many others do, that the only person he had to answer to was his wife and that would be punishment enough for any man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask....&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you  will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Update**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems the enormous pressure bought to bear on Weiner finally took it's toll.

Never mind that they are being organized and funded by some of the most powerful Right Wing front groups. The Koch brothers being the one that comes to mind but you can bet they are only the tip of the "Randian Iceberg!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This so-called "patriot beast"  has always had a racist tint to it.

So, no matter how much they bitch and moan that they ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;the Tea Baggers&lt;/span&gt;) are being misunderstood and demeaned in the "Liberal Press" ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What a joke that one is&lt;/span&gt; ) the sad fact is that  no amount of deodorant can sanitize the stench that emanates from this group of bigoted, homophobic and utterly stupid (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; yes I calle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;d them stupid&lt;/span&gt;) people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This so-called "Citizens Movement" has allowed some of the worst to come out of people.

The man pictured here is Alexander Hamilton, and he was  chosen for a reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y'see, the libertarians have adapted Thomas Jefferson as "their" founding father. (See &lt;a href="http://www.jeffersonianlib.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for example.) He favored a weak federal government, states' rights, and unregulated enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  think that we should look toward Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson may have  written the Declaration of Independence, but Hamilton was the man who  pretty much invented Constitutional democracy.

From there on – with gusto – we  argued all the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p name="paragraph14" id="paragraph14"&gt;The  initial argument was on greed,” Pryor continued. “She had to see that  there was such a thing as greed in this world. Doctors could cost an  awful lot more money than books earn, and she could be totally wiped out  by medical bills if she didn’t watch it. Since she had worked her  entire life, and had paid into Social Security, she had a right to it.

We have become desensitized to this kind of verbal diarrhea emanating from the mouths of those that seek to use race as a political weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when the good Reverend Meeks opened his mouth and let fly his racist bullshit on Chicagoland radio, it came as no surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.suntimes.com/2877318-417/women-meeks-contracts-percent-african.html"&gt;Chicago SunTimes:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class="body.text"&gt;Mayoral challenger James Meeks scrambled Thursday  to put out a political fire touched off by his suggestion that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;only  African Americans should be eligible for city contracts set aside for  minorities and women. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="body.text"&gt;Meeks made the statement on Wednesday during an  interview on WVON-AM (1690). It happened during a discussion of why  African-American businesses got a 7 percent sliver of Chicago’s $1  billion spending pie through Aug. 31, down from 8 percent a year ago.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="body.text"&gt;“The word ‘minority’ from our standpoint should  mean African American. I don’t think women, Asians and Hispanics should  be able to use that title,” he said. “That’s why our numbers cannot  improve — because we use women, Asians and Hispanics who are not people  of color, who are not people who have been discriminated against.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;("Not only is the man a racist...He's a Homophobe to boot!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev. Meeks does not believe that Hispanics, Women or Asians qualify for "Minority" status.  We do not have enough "color" to qualify ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In his estimation&lt;/span&gt; ) for these programs because as he put it, we as a people,  are not "Dark" enough and therefore have not been discriminated against!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a little background on the the good Rev....................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;James T. Meeks&lt;/b&gt; (born 4 August 1956) is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29" title="Democratic Party (United States)"&gt;Democratic&lt;/a&gt; member of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Senate" title="Illinois Senate"&gt;Illinois Senate&lt;/a&gt;, representing the 15th district since 2003. He is also an active &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptist" title="Baptist" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Baptist&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_%28Christianity%29" title="Minister (Christianity)"&gt;minister&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago"&gt;Chicago&lt;/a&gt; and chairs the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Legislative_Black_Caucus" title="Illinois Legislative Black Caucus"&gt;Illinois Legislative Black Caucus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(snip)&lt;p&gt;Meeks serves as the Executive Vice President of the National &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow/PUSH" title="Rainbow/PUSH"&gt;Rainbow-PUSH Coalition&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1998, Meeks led a movement to “dry up” Roseland Community by  collecting votes to close 26 liquor stores. He has also created a  mentoring program called “It Takes a Village ” which provides support  and assistance to pregnant youth and young mothers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meeks is also concerned with issues of housing affordability. He  sponsored a bill which would make permanent a 2003 Executive Order that  established a task force to develop Annual Comprehensive Housing Plans  to address critical housing issues. The bill focuses its attention on  vulnerable groups, including those at risk of homelessness and low  income people with disabilities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another bill Meeks has sponsored addresses law enforcement and racial  profiling. The bill would allow police departments to apply for grants  to purchase cameras for police cars. Meeks believes that cameras in  police cars protects everyone involved in a traffic stop, arguing that  it provides security for both the driver and the law enforcement  officer, and that it may also help reduce instances of racial profiling.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meeks is the Chairperson of the Housing and Community Affairs  Committee and Vice Chairperson of the Commerce and Economic Development  Committee. Additionally, he is a member of the Senate Commerce;  Appropriations I; Education; Higher Education; and Senate Education  Funding Reform Committees.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Meeks voted against the creation of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_unions_in_Illinois" title="Civil unions in Illinois" class="mw-redirect"&gt;civil unions in Illinois&lt;/a&gt; for same-sex couples in December 2010.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Meeks#cite_note-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; In 2006, he called homosexuality an "evil sickness," and is is allied with Americans for Truth, an organization which the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center" title="Southern Poverty Law Center"&gt;Southern Povert&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center" title="Southern Poverty Law Center"&gt;y Law Center&lt;/a&gt; labeled as a hate group earlier in 2010.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Meeks#cite_note-1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;** emphasis are mine**&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video below is just a sampling of Rev.

alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now. I am in no way implying that Obama is in anyway responsible for what the Rev. Meeks allows to ooze out of his mouth. Obama did what he had to do as a parasite politician trying to survive in Chicago politics. Race is tossed around as weapon and it is used here to such an extent that it does not shock us when a so-called "Man of God" decides to take aim and blast this crap out of his/her mouth. As a matter of fact, it's come to be expected!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I find it curious that no-one will question Obama as to why he chose to associate himself with these men when he HAD to know what their views on race were. No one can tell me Obama did not know these men had and would use the race card and that their views on "Whitey" were well known to anyone willing to dig for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway....This is not a post about the "great Pretender." This is a post on the Rev. Meeks and what I fear is going to be a long, nasty election to replace the king of Chicago...Richard M Daley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said above....The Reverend Meek's views are well known here. Why anyone is surprised he said what he said is beyond me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is who the man is!!!&lt;br /&gt;On a personal note:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joseph Cannon's &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/"&gt;"Cannonfire"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is back up and running!!

I take it, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(from the article at least, that Paul did condemn this act. **wink wink**yeah sure he did.&lt;/span&gt;) But did anyone turn the cowards in?

For 12 frantic minutes, Williams traded shots with the police, employing three firearms and a small arsenal of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds fired from a .308-caliber rifle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;em&gt;When the smoke cleared, Williams surrendered; the ballistic body armor he was wearing had saved his life.

According to the SPLC, the anti-government resurgence has been buttressed by paranoid rhetoric from public officials like Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and media figures like Fox News' Glenn Beck.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just last month, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gregory Giusti pleaded guilty to repeatedly threatening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- including threatening to destroy her California home -- because he was "upset with her passing the health care law." &lt;/span&gt;His mother &lt;a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/201004070061"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt; a local news station that he &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"freq&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;uently gets in with a group of people that have really radical ideas," adding, "I'd say Fox News or all of those that are really radical, and he -- that's where he comes from."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, guess who this idiot was listening is claiming he was taking his matching orders from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glen Beck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;After the 2008 election, Fox News personalities filled the airwaves with increasingly violent rhetoric and apocalyptic language.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; On his Fox News show, Beck &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908060037"&gt;talked&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; about "put[ting] poison" in Pelosi's wine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Observers of this most recent act were mystified by one of Byron Williams' reported targets: the Tides Foundation, a low-profile charitable organization known for funding environmentalists, community groups, and other organizations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beck, it turned out, had attacked Tides 29 times on his Fox News show in the year-and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;-a-half leading up to the shooting.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now, in exclusive interviews and written correspondence with journalist John Hamilton, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Williams speaks for himself. He asks Hamilton to be his "media advocate" and repeatedly instructs him to watch specific broadcasts of Beck's show for information on the conspiracy theory that drove him over the edge: an intricate plot involving Barack Obama, philanthropist George Soros, a Brazilian oil company, and the BP disaster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Williams also points to other media figures -- right-wing propagandist David Horowitz, and Internet conspiracist and repeated Fox News guest Alex Jones -- as key sources of information to inspire his "revolution."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a separate exchange with Examiner.com's Ed Walsh, Williams sought to defend Beck from "Obama and the liberals," whom he said are afraid of Beck &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"because he often exposes things that are simply forbidden in news."&lt;/span&gt; Williams said that Beck advocates non-violence and that he had already researched the conspiracy theories that informed his alleged plot -- before seeing them "confirm[ed]" on Beck's show. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Similarly, Williams tells Hamilton that "Beck would never say anything about a conspir&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sfist.com/attachments/SFist_Brock/bryon_chris.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 202px;" src="http://sfist.com/attachments/SFist_Brock/bryon_chris.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;acy, would never advocate violence. He'll never do anything ... of this nature. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But he'll give you every ounce of evidence that you could possibly need."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the Santa Rita Jail, Williams opens up about the websites he frequented, the broadcasts he listened to, and the "evidence" of "sabotage" he "uncovered" that eventually led him to target Tides.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;He asks Hamilton to help "make people realize that corrupt killers are in power, and want re-election!" Williams wants to make sure that the ideas that inspired him aren't "buried" from the public.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"&lt;em&gt;I collect information on corruption," Williams says, "I've been at it for some time."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beck, in particular, he says, is "like a schoolteacher on TV." Williams tells Hamilton, "You need to go back to June -- June of this year, 2010 -- and look at all his programs from June, and you'll see he's been breaking open some of the most hideous corruption."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's true that Beck has never "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;directly&lt;/span&gt;" called for his sheep to go out and "hunt" them some "Progressive Wabbit" but if you've spent any time listening to the moron that is Beck, you get the message loud and clear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear that we may see many more "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rethugnican Sheep&lt;/span&gt;" attempt to put their master's words to deeds and if something is not done to educate the public to the hypocrisy that is "fear mongering, hate speech peddling morons," then we can brace ourselves for many more instances of these so-called "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lone wolves&lt;/span&gt;" and their penchant for letting  bullets fly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People that defend Beck claim he is just practicing his Constitutional right to free speech.

In a letter sent this week to Speaker Nancy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Pelosi&lt;/span&gt; (D-Calif.), 106 House Democrats urged the speaker to take the House version of the child nutrition bill, which does not slash food stamps, rather than the Senate version.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 21px; font-family:Georgia;font-size:14px;"&gt;“&lt;b&gt;This is one of the more egregious cases of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and is a vote we do not take lightly,”&lt;/b&gt; the lawmakers, led by Reps.

Because  from where I sit, if you cut funding in the Food Stamp program, there wont be much money to buy anything to eat much less worrying about eating their Arugula!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't know why this surprises me. Michelle Obama was known for her work helping a certain Chicago University turn it's back on the poor patients seeking medical attention at it's emergency room!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It used to be that the Democratic Party cared about the poor. If you didn't know by now this should tell you all you need to know about today;s so-called democratic Party!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now go eat your veggies!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-5905982695623922389?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/5905982695623922389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=5905982695623922389' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5905982695623922389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5905982695623922389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/08/dems-considering-cutting-food-stamps-to.html' title='Dems Considering Cutting Food Stamps To Fund MeeChelle&apos;s Pet Project'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-5428152921437760206</id><published>2010-08-13T13:21:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T13:56:00.651-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Update: Pop Goes The Weasel.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0b/IAmWeasel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0b/IAmWeasel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you read the story I posted last night you will see that there are some fanatical, rabid, repulsive, racist, no good, slimy Wing Nut, Batshit crazy populating today's modern GOP.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Gohmert"&gt;Rep.

This is a common tactic they ( Democrats use it also but not to such effect ) use to deflect attention away from their Batshittery and onto the interviewer. He who screams the loudest usually wins in these situations.  I am sorry to say it has worked fine for them until now. finally someone calls this Wingnut racist out and exposes him for what he is...&lt;b&gt;"Full Of Shit!!!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I gotta hand it to Cooper. Although I am no fan of his, he did go after this Loon and showed the world what the true face of today's GOP really looks like behind all that pasty makeup.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These people have gone off the freaking deep end. Instead of trying to fix the many problems we have with our immigration policy, we get fear tactics, racism, and utter bullshit from the Repulsive right and their Xenophobic mouth pieces.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I said in the piece below, We are now at a point tipping point in this country where things can and in some instances are, getting violent and many people are now in fear of where this can lead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I can assure you is that if this is not ramped down,  if this type of xenophobic, us against the dark unwashed masses, isn't starved of oxygen and the purveyors of this filth are not outed and shamed for their bigotry, then I fear we are heading into an era the likes we have not seen since the sixties. And make no mistake, there are elements both pro and con that will are itching for a fight!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This madness has got top stop!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By the way...Where is Mr. Hope and Change while all this is going on?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I said above......POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="285"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kqGXM23WUbs?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kqGXM23WUbs?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="285"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-5428152921437760206?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/5428152921437760206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=5428152921437760206' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5428152921437760206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5428152921437760206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-pop-goes-weasel.html' title='Update: Pop Goes The Weasel.'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-8347444481463056568</id><published>2010-08-12T15:07:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T13:21:18.079-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='http://madmikesamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gop-crazy_republican-210x210.jpg'/><title type='text'>GOP Batshittery Ramped Up A Notch</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://unrepentantoldhippie.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/unbranded-bullshit-stamp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://unrepentantoldhippie.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/unbranded-bullshit-stamp.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been treated to a steady stream of verbal diarrhea emanating from the mouths ofthe GOP lately. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yeah yeah, I know...."What else is new? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But this latest attempt at pandering to the "Racist" element in our society is not only upsetting to witness, it is very very dangerous if left unchecked and unchallenged!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The latest rally cry to the "Batshit Clown Posse" (Today's GOP )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;is that terrorist are coming to this country with their women so that said women can have their babies, at tax payer expense, then they go home and indoctrinate this baby in the finer ways of blowing shit up!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had thought I had heard all there was to hear from the "Repulsive Right and their Lunatic lap dogs." I had wondered just how far and to what lengths these sorry ass excuses for human beings would go to pander to that element in our society that feels that those of color and those less fortunate then themselves are what ails this country.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was wrong. Boy was I wrong in thinking I heard it all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I found this over at &lt;a href="http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/node/38965"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crooks and Liars&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; .  As I listened to this "wingnut" spew her racist venom on CNN (&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;and let's call it what it really is folks...RACISM!   Racism to the rotten core.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; ) I found myself wondering. "Just how far the xenophobic rabbit hole these people were prepared to go." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well. it seems there is no length of depravity that these people will not stoop to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;wards to gin up some votes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Watch:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MTc3OTctMzg5NjU?color=173466"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MTc3OTctMzg5NjU?color=173466" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the sad state we now find ourselves in this county.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is the latest person to add her voice to the " Grand Order of Pandering Republican Racist Spewing Hatred and Xenophobic Batshittery !" Let me introduce you to  Debbie Riddle (R) Texas State Representative. And let me assure you. After watching her performance of CNN, there is no doubt in my mind this whack job believes this shit she is saying.  She has a bright future within the "Wingnut and Batshittery" department of the GOP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's a bit of the exchange she had with CNN's Anderson Cooper:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. Riddle insisted that the conspiracy theory put out there by Rep. Gohmert is a real threat and claimed as Gohmert did that her sources were "ex-FBI agents". When questioned  for any proof of her claims, Rep. Riddle didn't take to &lt;a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1008/10/acd.01.html" title="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1008/10/acd.01.html" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;kindly to Cooper's tepid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1008/10/acd.01.html" title="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1008/10/acd.01.html" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt; questioning&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; display: block; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 40px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 40px; "&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Representative Riddle, you told my producer that pregnant women are &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;coming here as tourists, having babies, and then going back home -- quote -- "with the &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;nefarious purpose of turning them into little terrorists, who will then come back &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;to the U.S. and do us harm." You said it's part of an organized terrorist element and could cost us lives. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Where did you hear that?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DEBBIE RIDDLE (R), TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVE: &lt;i&gt;That is information that is coming to my &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;office from former FBI officials.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;What former FBI &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;officials -- I mean, what evidence is there of some sort &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;of long-term plot to have American babies born here and then become terrorists -- raised as terrorists &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;overseas and then come back here?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;Well, at this &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;point, I don't have the hard evidence right here in front of me. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;However, this is something that is being talked about by various members of &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Congress. This is being looked into. This is an issue with &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;not only folks coming across our southern border, with what is called anchor babies, and coming &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;over for the entitlement programs and for that sort of thing, but I think that this is a lot more sinister issue. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;All of these issues, we need to look at, because this is a critical, critical issue for all of the American --&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;American public.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;But you have no actual evidence?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;Other than that coming from former FBI folks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;Can you tell us who these &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;former FBI folks are, and what evidence they have or what evidence they have &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;shown you?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RIDDLE: At this point, I'm not going to reveal that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;I mean, if &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;this is a real threat to the security of the United States, why wouldn't current FBI people be worried about it as well? I &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;mean, why wouldn't this actually be...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;You know what? That's a really good question,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;because right now we have serious current threat that the government seems to be ignoring,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;and ignoring on our southern border. Quite honestly...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(CROSSTALK)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;But -- but they haven't told you any actual evidence, right? So, some former FBI -- you say some former FBI &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;agents have talked to your office. Have they given your office actual facts or proof?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;That &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;information, we are still gathering.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;But the point that I &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;think you are trying to make is about folks coming over here, having their babies &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;when they are not here legally, or they might have overstayed their visa, whether they are coming from south &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;of the border or whether they're coming from Middle Eastern countries. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;We must protect and make sure the safety and security of the people of Texas and the folks of this &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;country is secure. That's the number-one job of every elected official. And, quite frankly, it is altogether possible to &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;make a dirty bomb, stick it in a suitcase, walk it across our southern border, and take it to downtown &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Houston or any other city, and blow it up, and kill a million or more folks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yet, why isn't the government taking that seriously? So, you're questioning me on details of this. And &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that's -- those -- they're fair questions. And we can deal with that now or we can deal with it at a later time. But that issue &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;with dirty bombs that can be walked across our porous border that our &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;president refuses to protect and secure...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;OK.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RIDDLE: ... &lt;i&gt;could -- could endanger people today.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;Right. Well, I mean, border security is certainly.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;..&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;That's the question.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COOPER:&lt;i&gt; Border &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;security is certainly an issue, and it's a good topic. It's not the &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;topic, though -- I mean, you have made statements about these basically terror babies that &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;are being raised overseas to be brought back here. I'm just asking for proof. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;You say you're still gathering it from unnamed former FBI people.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RIDDLE: &lt;i&gt;Well, actually, I -- when your folks called me in the preliminary, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;that was part of the conversation. They did not tell me that &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;you were going to grill me for this specific information that I was not ready to give to you &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;tonight. They did not tell me that, sir.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;OK. OK.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, if you do have follow-up information, we would love to get it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(END VIDEOTAPE)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COOPER: &lt;i&gt;And we will&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;continue to follow up with her office&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 210px;" src="http://madmikesamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gop-crazy_republican-210x210.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Notice how, when pressed for proof of what this proud daughter of Texas is spewing, she gives the generic...&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well , at this point.

The Popes were and still are, some of the RICHEST MEN on the planet. Televangelist whores are among some of the richest in the United States. Our politicians take their marching orders from some of these "Jesus peddlers" and their rabid followers are used as the shock troops to silence any opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am not condemning each and every person of faith. I am sure there are a handful who live by the book they preach out of but I haven't found one yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So whenever someone comes to me offering to "Save" me in the name of Jesus, I'll continue to insist that the only one I need "Saving" from are the idiots insisting I fork over what little money  ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and my immortal soul&lt;/span&gt; ) I do have because the voices in "their" heads tell me so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd rather give it to someone society condemns as crazy than give it to someone who hears the same voices and believes in the same myth and yet, society would deem me crazy if I were to question their belief in those voices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No wonder we are so fucked up!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-3115256822456794907?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/3115256822456794907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=3115256822456794907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/3115256822456794907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/3115256822456794907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/07/saint-sarah-her-pink-elephants-and.html' title='Saint Sarah, Her Pink Elephants and The Jesus Brigade'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JWVqRk8jzNY/SVZMN8esp3I/AAAAAAAACnM/jovqfL6wh2g/s72-c/homeless+man+and+dog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-726904711106485950</id><published>2010-06-30T17:57:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-30T18:06:29.882-05:00</updated><title type='text'>White People For Rent In China</title><content type='html'>Now I've heard everything:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/29/chinese-companies-renting_n_629973.html"&gt;Huffington Post:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;White People For Rent In China&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;To some, it's known as "White Guy Window Dressing." Others call it  "The Token White Guy Gig" or even a "Face Job."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These are terms used to describe a &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1290593/Chinese-companies-rent-white-foreigners.html?ITO=1490" target="_hplink"&gt;recently established practice&lt;/a&gt; employed by Chinese  firms, who are willing to pay high prices for fair-skinned expatriates  to act as faux employees and white-collar business partners -- all in an  effort to impress other area businesses.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/06/29/china.rent.white.people/index.html" target="_hplink"&gt;According to a blitz of news reports,&lt;/a&gt; the practice  works as a complex, if bogus, promotional tool. To the Chinese public,  the number of foreigners a company has is believed to have a direct  correlation to its level of prestige, money and authority -- which, in  turn, increases their chances of securing additional business. In an  increasingly globalized Chinese workforce, an office's "diversity," real  or not, makes it seem more international.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The practice, &lt;a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/asia-pacific/chinese-firms-seeking-white-employees/article1623718/" target="_hplink"&gt;sources say,&lt;/a&gt; is rooted in the Chinese concept of  "face," or the positive public expression of one's identity. As such,  the "Token White Guy Gigs" are usually secured by Caucasian expats,  including actors and English teachers, all hungry for work. Once  "hired," many of the expats &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128011084" target="_hplink"&gt;say&lt;/a&gt; they aren't given much instruction other than  to sit and appear as though they understand as little Chinese as  possible. Yet if the opportunity for a public event such as a party  arose, they were given the red-carpet treatment, including cocktails&lt;br /&gt;and police escorts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;While it may sound like nice work if you can get it, most Chinese  employment experts believe it will be little more than a passing fad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;object width="416" height="374" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="ep"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&amp;amp;videoId=business/2010/06/29/intv.china.rent.white.people.cnn"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&amp;amp;videoId=business/2010/06/29/intv.china.rent.white.people.cnn" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="416" wmode="transparent" height="374"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if there is a market for a 6'1" Apache/ Mexican in China?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-726904711106485950?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/726904711106485950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=726904711106485950' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/726904711106485950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/726904711106485950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/06/white-people-for-rent-in-china.html' title='White People For Rent In China'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-5507058101063720085</id><published>2010-06-27T08:28:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-27T09:23:32.183-05:00</updated><title type='text'>And The Oil Spilled On!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="300" height="265"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nKUTlB-4ZK8&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nKUTlB-4ZK8&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="300" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(This is an older video of the oil spewing but from what I've seen to date.

The trailer reads: “Are you a Producer or  Parasite Democrats – Party of the Parasites.” Now, the Kansas City Star  reveals that Jungerman has been the recipient of &lt;a href="http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/21/2033746/party-of-parasites-author-took.html#ixzz0rh4bBwrf"&gt;over  a million dollars of federal farm subsidies&lt;/a&gt; since 1995: &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Raytown farmer who posted a sign on a semi-truck  trailer accusing Democrats of being the “Party of Parasites” &lt;strong&gt;received  more than $1 million in federal crop subsidies since 1995.&lt;/strong&gt;  [...]&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After a story about Jungerman’s trailer ran in Sunday’s Star,  however, some readers &lt;strong&gt;called him a hypocrite for criticizing  others for getting government help while taking government subsidies  paid for by taxpayers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Jungerman said he put up the sign to protest people who pay no taxes,  but, “Always have their hand out for whatever the government will give  them” in social programs.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Trying to defend himself, Jungerman told the press, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“That’s just my  money coming back to me. I pay a lot in taxes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/21/2033746/party-of-parasites-author-took.html#ixzz0rh5IjYtH"&gt;I’m  not a parasite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;  He also said that the sign is aimed at national  Democrats, not local Democrats, many of whom are “are old-fashioned  Harry Truman Democrats,” who Jungerman says are “more conservative &lt;a href="http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/19/2029960/missouri-mans-incendiary-sign.html"&gt;than  many Republicans&lt;/a&gt;.” For the record, Harry Truman campaigned on &lt;a href="http://www.trumanlibrary.org/anniversaries/healthprogram.htm"&gt;establishing  a single-payer health care system&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=12670"&gt;famously  vetoed tax cuts&lt;/a&gt;, making him much more progressive than many of  today’s Democrats.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;!-- post updates would go here in theory --&gt;

I favor nine. &lt;strong&gt;It’s the last part that mandated no discrimination in places of public accommodation that I have a problem with because you should let businesses decide for themselves, you know, whether they’re going to be racist or not racist because once the government gets involved it’s a slippery slope. Do you agree that?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;STOSSEL: &lt;strong&gt;Totally. I’m in total agreement with Rand Paul. You can call it public accommodation, and it is, but it’s a private business and if a private business wants to say we don’t want any blonde anchorwomen or mustached guys, it ought to be their right.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;To her credit, Kelly challenged Stossel aggressively, saying that it was “necessary” to bar private businesses from discriminating in order to guarantee equal rights. But Stossel persisted, saying that he would repeal the section of the Civil Rights Act that covers private businesses:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;STOSSEL: &lt;strong&gt;And I would go further than he was willing to go, as he just issued the statement and say it’s time now to repeal that part of the law.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;KELLY: &lt;strong&gt;What?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;STOSSEL: &lt;strong&gt;Because private businesses ought to get to discriminate.&lt;/strong&gt; And I won’t ever go to a place that’s racist. And I will tell everybody else not to and I’ll speak against them, but it should be there right to be racist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I do believe Stossel is due for another one of these.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SACE1tPEcbc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SACE1tPEcbc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just love watching Stossel get the "taste" slapped out of his mouth.

The flood gates were opened and a tsunami of ILLEGAL immigrants flooded this land. This country is populated by Illegal Immigrants! I do not recall any the native peoples giving visa's to the millions of "Wetbacks" that flooded into this country on ships!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; How do you think the Native People felt when they saw the swarm of illegals rushing THEIR shores?

Mexico had  claimed the area in question for about 25 years since the finalization  of its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821 following the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_War_of_Independence" title="Mexican War of Independence"&gt;Mexican War of Independence&lt;/a&gt;. The  Spanish Empire had conquered part of the area from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas" title="Indigenous peoples of the Americas"&gt;Native American&lt;/a&gt; tribes  over the preceding three centuries, but there remained powerful and  independent indigenous peoples within the northern regions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There were approximately 80,000 Mexicans in the areas of California,  New Mexico, Arizona and Texas during this period and they made up about  20% of the population.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Guadalupe_Hidalgo#cite_note-7"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;8&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The treaty took its name from what is now the suburb of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City" title="Mexico City"&gt;Mexico  City&lt;/a&gt; where it was signed on 2 February 1848.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The cession that the treaty facilitated included parts of the  modern-day &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S.  state"&gt;U.S. states&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado"&gt;Colorado&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona"&gt;Arizona&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico"&gt;New  Mexico&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming" title="Wyoming"&gt;Wyoming&lt;/a&gt;, as well as the whole of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California" title="California"&gt;California&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada" title="Nevada"&gt;Nevada&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah" title="Utah"&gt;Utah&lt;/a&gt;, and,  depending on one's point of view, Texas. The remaining parts of what  are today the states of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona"&gt;Arizona&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico"&gt;New  Mexico&lt;/a&gt; were later peacefully ceded under the 1853 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_Purchase" title="Gadsden  Purchase"&gt;Gadsden Purchase&lt;/a&gt;, in which the U.S. paid an additional  US$10 million (equivalent to $260 million today)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This is how the United States took what is now the Southwestern half of this country. Mexico won it from Spain and the United States from Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am in now way suggesting that this land be given back to Mexico. I am a citizen of this country as were my forefathers before me. What I am saying is that Mexicans have ALWAYS been here and they always will be here. But we need to remember how we got here and how these politicians ( On both sides of the isle ) have used this issue to stoke up the fears that lurk in every persons soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have much to learn from each others cultures. This country was founded on immigrants ( or so they tell me ) coming here from other parts of the world and displacing my Native American brethren. ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That's a different rant for another day.&lt;/span&gt; ) So why the backlash against the Mexicans?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JOBS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the Politicians and their Corporate overlords have literally raped our economy and shipped what little jobs we once had overseas, we are fighting for the scraps that are left over. The jobs NO-ONE WANTED to do before are the jobs EVERYONE wants now and who better to attack then the Mexican day laborers that clean your friggin toilets, cut your goddamn grass, buss your table and wash your dishes. Pick your vegetable and fruit. Take care of your goddamn rich kids and cook your rich meals!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You didn't want these jobs before. You were ABOVE that type of work. How times have changed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And second....The so-called "War on Drugs!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I wont get into that here. That's a story that takes more time to tell. I will try to get into it at a later date&lt;/span&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we are now witnessing,, people that are unemployed and have their fears stoked by unscrupulous Politicians turn to the one thing that always follows a depressed work force...ANGER! ...And where there's anger, hatred and ignorance usually follow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is true that we have a terrible immigration policy and something needs to be done about it but to single out a race of people is wrong! How would the people of European ancestry feel if they were asked to show their papers?

The discovery is  fresh evidence that the leak from the broken undersea well could be  substantially worse than estimates that the government and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/bp_plc/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More information about BP P.L.C." class="meta-org"&gt;BP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; have  given.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;There’s a shocking amount of oil in the deep water, relative to what  you see in the surface water,”&lt;/span&gt; said Samantha Joye, a researcher at the &lt;a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/university_of_georgia/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More articles about University of Georgia" class="meta-org"&gt;University  of Georgia&lt;/a&gt; who is involved in one of the first scientific missions  to gather details about what is happening in the gulf. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“There’s a  tremendous amount of oil in multiple layers, three or four or five  layers deep in the water column.”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The plumes are depleting the oxygen dissolved in the gulf, worrying  scientists, who fear that the oxygen level could eventually fall so low  as to kill off much of the sea life near the plumes.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dr. Joye said the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;oxygen had already dropped 30 percent near some of the  plumes in the month that the broken oil well had been flowing. “If you  keep those kinds of rates up, you could draw the oxygen down to very low  levels that are dangerous to animals in a couple of months,” she said  Saturday. “That is alarming.”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The plumes were discovered by scientists from several universities  working aboard the &lt;a href="http://www.lumcon.edu/pelican/" title="About  the Pelican."&gt;research vessel Pelican&lt;/a&gt;, which sailed from Cocodrie,  La., on May 3 and has gathered extensive samples and information about  the disaster in the gulf.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Scientists studying video of the gushing oil well have tentatively  calculated that it could be flowing at a rate of 25,000 to 80,000  barrels of oil a day. The latter figure would be 3.4 million gallons a  day. But the government, working from satellite images of the ocean  surface, has calculated a flow rate of only 5,000 barrels a day.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; BP has resisted entreaties from scientists that they be allowed to use  sophisticated instruments at the ocean floor that would give a far more  accurate picture of how much oil is really gushing from the well.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;How do they propose to clean THAT up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is going to be felt of generations to come and just the thought of all the marine life that we are going to lose is mind boggling. Not to mention the economic devastation that those in the path of this oil will endure! By the way, if you believe that this will not effect you beacuse you do not live near the Gulf of Mexico, think again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This spill is going to affect each and every living being on Planet Earth!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-4423876044023303727?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/4423876044023303727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=4423876044023303727' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4423876044023303727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4423876044023303727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/05/bp-disasterthere-are-many-people-to.html' title='BP Disaster: There Are Many People To Blame But Will We Hold Them Responsible?'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-2819967391702515985</id><published>2010-04-09T13:41:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-09T13:46:07.434-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Despicable: Cat nailed to A Tree</title><content type='html'>What kind of person would "nail" a cat to a tree?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="viewer" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="640" height="368"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.1cast.com/share/apps/smallembed.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="nick=www&amp;amp;stok=266913"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.1cast.com/share/apps/smallembed.swf" flashvars="nick=www&amp;amp;stok=266913" width="640" height="368" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope they find the bastard responsible for this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a special place in Hades for those that get their kicks out of torturing helpless animals!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-2819967391702515985?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/2819967391702515985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=2819967391702515985' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/2819967391702515985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/2819967391702515985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/04/despicable-cat-nailed-to-tree.html' title='Despicable: Cat nailed to A Tree'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-3144621290143664400</id><published>2010-04-05T22:48:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-05T22:58:11.880-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sentenced To Death In Saudi Arabia For Witchcraft</title><content type='html'>Just in case you forgot how barbaric Saudi law is, I bring you this....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object id="swfclipV4091427" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=V4091427&amp;amp;m=1291708" width="421" height="316"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=V4091427&amp;amp;m=1291708"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="base" value="."&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This man is going to be beheaded for "Sorcery and Witchcraft!"

They know that as long as this Corporate sponsored movement ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and if you think for one minute that this is somehow a grass roots phenomenon, you have your head up your backside! It may have started out that way, but it isn't that way now!&lt;/span&gt;) is dangerous to their political well being. They know that this  so-called movement has the potential to overwhelm them in voter fury. That is why they have made it a point to ridicule these people and this corporate funded movement. I personally believe this will backfire on those that take this movement lightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also believe that the "creators" of this movement (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; The Republican astro turfers&lt;/span&gt; ) will come to regret giving birth to this unruly child of theirs. This so-called "movement" will come to bite the hand of it's corporate master! This is one dog that is refusing to wear it's masters collar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; the Republican party&lt;/span&gt; ) nurtured, feed and egged this beast on and as always happens when you create a Frankenstein, they will rue the day they set it loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's already terrorizing it's master in his own home so to speak!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But enough of "Tea Baggers" and collars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us get back to the hypocrite known as Maxine Waters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She went on television and accused the "Tea baggers" of something she herself has done and feign shock and outrage over it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maxine....I understand you sometimes forget what emits from your corporately owned mouth but did you think there were no tape of you doing that which you accused others of doing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hypocrisy  of these "Washington whores" is amazing! But as long as they have a friend in the media willing to over look that hypocrisy, they will continue to spew their bullshit and treat you like the sheep they believe you are!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-6003192231555950509?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/6003192231555950509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=6003192231555950509' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/6003192231555950509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/6003192231555950509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/04/hypocritical-waters.html' title='Hypocritical Waters'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-5962944518978719141</id><published>2010-03-25T18:06:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-25T18:35:41.626-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Insanity Of The Right</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NAzaPXIdz1o/So3xwATKnzI/AAAAAAAAAg4/kjFaZmUOGvw/s320/Dog_attack.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NAzaPXIdz1o/So3xwATKnzI/AAAAAAAAAg4/kjFaZmUOGvw/s320/Dog_attack.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am no fan of Bart Stupak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I am not a fan of someone who decides he and only he knows best how a woman should treat  her body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a woman decides to do with HER body is not for ANY MAN to decide.

And like the monsters that they are, they care not one little bit about who they step on so long as the money keeps rolling in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a man called in to say that he could not afford the 6 thousand dollars he would have to cough up for breaking his wrist, Limbaugh ( with the crumbs from his "Pig's head and gut sandwich" dripping down his drug addicted fat triple chin ) incredibly told his caller:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Well, you shouldn't have broken your wrist."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908200032" style="color: red; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Media Matters:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="183'" width="200'"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/player.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg2?id=200908200032"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="allownetworking" value="all"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg2?id=200908200032" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="200" height="183"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Better hope you don't lose those millions "Pig Boy!"

As one who has  abided by the three and a half minute, I’m going to take a few seconds  more now in closing to extend thanks to Mr. President for bringing us  together, for your great leadership and without it, we would not be so  very close to affordability, accountability for the insurance companies,  and accessibility for so many more Americans to improve their health  care, to lower their cost.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Mr. President, I hearken back to that meeting a year ago. At that  time, Senator Grassley questioned you about the public option and you  said: ‘The public option is one way to keep the insurance companies  honest and to increase competition.’ If you have a better way, put it on  the table. Well, I bring that up, because we have come such a long way —  we’re talking about how close we are on this, how far apart we are in  here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;( **emphasis mine** ) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“But as a representative of the House of Representatives, I want you  to know that we were there that day in support of a public option which  would save $120 billion, keep the insurance companies honest, and  increase competition. We've come a long way to agreeing to a Republican  idea. The exchanges — Senator Enzi has been a leader in that, Senator  Snowe along with Senator Durbin had legislation to that effect and  bipartisan, because insurance companies opposed the public option. They  couldn't take the competition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;“We have in our bill market-oriented encouragement to the  private sector initiatives. I think that the insurance industry left to  its own devices has behaved shamefully, and we must act on behalf of  the American people. We have lived on their playing field all this time.  It's time for the insurance companies to exist on the playing field of  the American people. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“I believe I have news for some of my colleagues, because we have  very much more in common. Senator Coburn, you had so many positive  suggestions, which I didn't hear much else of, but from you we did. And I  think you'd be pleased to know that after much debate in our house, we  came up with value, not volume. Others have called it quality, not  quantity in terms of utilization, overutilization. Senator McCain when  you talk about fraud — we're talking about addressing regional  disparities in terms of compensation and health care. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“So we have addressed many of these new issues in the bill. I think  it's really important to note, though, and I want the record to show,  because two statements were made here that are not factual in  relationship to these bills. My colleague, Leader Boehner, the law of  the land is there is no public funding of abortion, and there is no  public funding of abortion in these bills and I don't want our listeners  or viewers to get the wrong impression from what you said. Mr. Camp,  you said that the Medicare cuts in this bill cut benefits for seniors.  They do not. They do not. So I want the record to show just in those two  cases, we may have differences of opinion and approach and evaluation  of the value of different things, but certain things are facts about our  bills that I cannot let the opposite view stand when they are stated. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Yes, it's hard to do this. The misrepresentation campaign that is  going on about these bills, it's a wonder anybody would support them, as  Mr. Waxman said. But the fact is, as the President said, many of these  provisions on their own are largely supported by the American people. So  this will take courage to do. Social Security was hard. Medicare was  hard. Health care reform for all Americans — insurance reform is hard —  but we will get it done. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“And as we leave this debate, I think that many of the differences  that we have are complicated and they are legitimate. They are  differences of opinion about the role of government and the rest. But I  think it's really clear on one point that the American people understand  very clearly, they understand that there should be an end to  discrimination on the basis of pre-existing conditions. The proposals we  have put forth end discrimination on the basis of pre-existing  conditions, the Republican bill does not.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“With that, Mr. President, I thank you again for the opportunity to  discuss the differences and to try to find some common ground on this.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I commend her for having more balls then the so-called men in the room. She reminded "Teh Precious" that he supported the Public Option" before he didn't  (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; he claims he still does but we know better &lt;/span&gt;) and in doing so, rubs his face in his hypocrisy. (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Notice how Oblah-Blah started writing down on his note pad when Pelosi stuck the knife in. If I were her I'd watch my political back. Or...maybe he was just doing what he has always done....doodle while the grown ups talk&lt;/span&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I am happy she reminded Oblah-Blah of his hypocrisy and I loved it when she verbally slapped these two Repugnican bullshitters for their obvious lies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has a long way to go before she ever gets my trust again but this is a start.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-145513379652353330?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/145513379652353330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=145513379652353330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/145513379652353330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/145513379652353330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/02/sen-bunning-screw-unemployed-i-just.html' title='Sen Bunning: Screw The Unemployed I Just Missed M y Basketball Game!'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-3823532871733822146</id><published>2010-02-26T15:18:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-28T01:38:33.906-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Pigs: Three Different Ones</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mbWThvBk2kA/SzI_3gtdvnI/AAAAAAAANRM/RACAmxCWEgE/s1600/pig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mbWThvBk2kA/SzI_3gtdvnI/AAAAAAAANRM/RACAmxCWEgE/s200/pig.jpg" width="186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is for those of you who may have just arrived back to Mother Earth from your " Carnival Cruise" trip to Alpha Centari (&lt;i&gt; either that or you've been in a coma for the last 30 years &lt;/i&gt;) and do not understand why many Liberal, (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; people like me&lt;/span&gt; ) Progressive, (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kool-Aid&lt;/span&gt; sipping, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hopium&lt;/span&gt; smoking, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Magic Unicorn&lt;/span&gt; riding, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sexist/Misogynist &lt;/span&gt;wing of the Democratic Party&lt;/span&gt; ) and just about any intelligent person with a conscious, absolutely despises the "Repugnican Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I present the following....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;(**note** Listen to what he says around the 2:45 mark of the video)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MTE5NzktMzUyMTc?color=173466"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MTE5NzktMzUyMTc?color=173466" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This "Turd Blossom" has no problem advocating that hospital's toss people out of their emergency rooms on on their ass to save......MONEY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This despicable, "Corporate Water Carrier" and  sub-human lump of  "Conservative Repugnican Pig Shit" is the lowest form of creature walking the planet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you missed what he said...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/83113-pawlenty-let-ers-turn-away-patients-to-cut-costs?page=2#comments" style="color: red; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Hill:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Emergency rooms should be able to turn patients away to cut costs,  Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) said last night&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearing  on Fox News's "On the Record with Greta Van Sustren" last night,  Pawlenty said the federal law that mandates ER treatment should be  repealed&lt;a href="http://kindofalark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bachmann-crazy.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://kindofalark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bachmann-crazy.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 201px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 250px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Well, for one thing you could do is change the federal  law so that not every ER is required to treat everybody who comes in  the door, even if they have a minor condition," &lt;/span&gt;Pawlenty said. "They  should be -- if you have a minor condition, instead of being at the  really expensive ER, you should be at the primary care clinic."  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(emphasis mine)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supporters  of the federal law would content that many people go to ERs precisely  because they do not have the insurance to pay for a primary care  physician.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Van Susteren was also skeptical about Pawlenty's  proposal, pointing out that it's difficult to tell what's a minor  condition without treating it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;VAN SUSTEREN:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"&gt; OK. OK. But you come in  with chest pains, and like, you get horrible chest pains. Now, it could  be indigestion, which is minor, or it could be heart, which isn't minor.  So then...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PAWLENTY: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"&gt;You have to do a little triage. That's for  sure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VAN SUSTEREN: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"&gt;Right.

Joe Ellison – with Marshall at his back – vouched for &lt;a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/robertson-blames-haiti-earthquake-pact-devil"&gt;Pat  Robertson&lt;/a&gt; and said that God punished Haitians with an earthquake  because they practice voodoo. Then he introduced Marshall as a "warrior  who will fight for our cause." Two minutes later, Marshall made his &lt;a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/video-bob-marshall-proves-he-said-what-he-meant-meant-what-he-said"&gt;infamous  remarks&lt;/a&gt; about God punishing women who have abortions. Here's  Ellison, in the video above:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;"From a spiritual standpoint, we think the Dr. Robertson  was on target about Haiti, in the past, with voodoo. And we believe in  the Bible that the practice of voodoo is a sin, and what caused the  nation to suffer. Those who read the Bible and study the history know  that what Dr. Robertson said was the truth."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Does Marshall stand behind Ellison and his remarks on Haiti? He would  no doubt say no. After all, he is &lt;a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/bob-marshall-doubles-down-insisting-he-never-said-exactly-what-he-said"&gt;running  away&lt;/a&gt; from his own remarks and &lt;a href="http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/local/article/MARS25GAT_20100224-195001/326630/"&gt;lashing  out&lt;/a&gt; at the student-run &lt;a href="http://go.vcu.edu/cns"&gt;Capital News  Service&lt;/a&gt;, which broke the story and ran circles around veteran  statehouse reporters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Who the hell is Bob Marshall you ask?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad you asked.....This is "Who" Bob Marshall is........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://crooksandliars.com/taxonomy/term/12009" style="color: red; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Crooks and Liars:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;When a group of religious-right poobahs unveiled their effort in  Virginia last week to attack Planned Parenthood and its funding, one of  them -- a Republican legislator named Bob Marshal, as &lt;a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/va-legislator-disabled-children-are-gods-punishment-women-whove-had-abortions"&gt;Josh  at RightWingWatch reported&lt;/a&gt; --&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt; declared that God punished women  who've had abortions by giving them disabled children later:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://pomomusings.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/buddy-jesus.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://pomomusings.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/buddy-jesus.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 150px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;“The number of children who are born subsequent to a  first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically.

Some stereotypes exist for a good reason. Just like the clarion call for “moderate” Muslims to raise their voices against the extremists among them, it is also incumbent on the naacp and la raza to not just blindly defend “their own” and announce if the evidence IS there, don’t look to us for a defense because of your skin color. Minorities also have a responsibility to castigate their own when they do harm and not just provide a blanket defense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave, Tn   February 16th, 2010 - 9:53 am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backed in a corner by hard evidence, Fox admitted to lying about the robbery in an attempt to cover up a crime she was committing—stealing money from the very post office she said was robbed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She confessed that after stealing from the post office for nearly a year, she realized it was almost impossible to continue covering up the thefts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;That’s when she decided she’d fake the robbery and cast herself as a victim. &amp;lt;—-Liberal mindset ================================================  Just another union protected government employee doing what they do best.

(&lt;i&gt; As if we didn't already know that!&lt;/i&gt; )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So much for the myth of those 5 dollar donations coming from "Millions" of Zombie O'Bots!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What say you?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-4634621335065364998?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/4634621335065364998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=4634621335065364998' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4634621335065364998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/4634621335065364998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/02/corporate-rights-takeover-of-democratic.html' title='Is The Hamilton Project Obama&apos;s Sugar Daddy?'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-3211221852452248416</id><published>2010-02-07T15:48:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-08T00:40:01.428-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Honor Killings:  A Disgusting Stain On The Diaper Of Humanity</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/138763/thumbs/s-TURKEY-large.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 190px;" src="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/138763/thumbs/s-TURKEY-large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this over at &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" href="http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/"&gt;The Confluence&lt;/a&gt; and being a father of two beautiful young women, I was not only disgusted but furious enough to want to dispense some justice &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;( as I saw fit ) to those responsible for this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;( My thanks to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;" href="http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/a-16-year-old-is-buried-alive-nobody-cries/"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;LittleIsis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; and the fantastic writers at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Confluence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; for bringing this to our attention.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story below will not only shock most of you but it will also make your blood boil in anger. I know it did mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This sad and disturbing story was reported by &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/04/girl-buried-alive-turkey"&gt;The Guardian.com.uk....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="main-article-info"&gt;                   &lt;h1&gt;Turkish girl, 16, buried alive for talking to boys&lt;/h1&gt;                             &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Police made the discovery in December after a tip-off from an informant, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on its website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The girl had previously been reported missing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The informant told the police&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; she had been killed following a family "council" meeting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her father and grandfather are said to have been arrested and held in custody pending trial. It is unclear whether they have been charged. The girl's mother was arrested but was later released.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Media reports said the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;father had told relatives he was unhappy that his daughter – one of nine children – had male friends. The grandfather is said to have beaten her for having relations with the opposite sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried. Her body showed no signs of bruising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The discovery will reopen the emotive debate in &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/turkey" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Turkey"&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt; about "honour" killings, which are particularly prevalent in the impoverished south-east.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Official figures have indicated that more than 200 such killings take place each year, accounting for around half of all murders in Turkey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This "animal" needs to be skinned alive for his heinous act of cowardice! This sorry excuse of a man, this animal  should not have the luxury of sitting in a jail cell. He and the other animals that helped in this crime deserve nothing less than the same consideration they gave this innocent young woman. Anything short of castration would be, in my view, too lenient!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My idea of justice for this "Murdered" young woman would be to skin the bastard's alive and leave them to rot in a ditch full of human waste! Seems they would feel right at home swimming in the filth that they oozed from!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why they are still breathing is beyond me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I sound like a "Mad man" by suggesting that these two be tortured for their crime. I say to those that may think that I am going a bit too "Postal" about this......Put yourself in that poor child's predicament. Try to imagine what was going through this young woman's mind as the man she called father, the man that she trusted to protect her from all the "monster's" that roam this world, the man that held her, kissed her tears away, the man she trusted to teach her right from wrong, turned out to be the one she had to fear the most!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a father of two beautiful women. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how a father, much less a family, can sit in a "Council" and decide to "Murder" their child simply for speaking to boys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just can't wrap my head around this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The practice of honor killings is rampant in many countries. Millions of women around the world suffer at the hands of those that impose their idea of morality on the weakest among us and it needs to stop TODAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the media reporting on this? Where is the outcry from the world about honor killings? Why are we as a society so willing to turn our backs on the women who nurture us, feed us, teach us, soothe our pains. Why are we so willing to close our eyes to the murder, rape and disrespect to those we call Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister and wife?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These were not men that committed this despicable act. These were cowards.

The following comments basically reflect a pathological liar who has the characteristics of histrionic personality disorder. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KXnntAGPxWw/SawhShsv62I/AAAAAAAAJOM/gi90ttGJ4kw/s400/obama_liar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KXnntAGPxWw/SawhShsv62I/AAAAAAAAJOM/gi90ttGJ4kw/s400/obama_liar.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Some characteristics:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Exaggerates things that are ridiculous. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. One-upping. Whatever you do, this person can do it better. You will never top them in their own mind, because they have a concerted need to be better than everyone else. This also applies to being right. If you try to confront an individual like this, no matter how lovingly and well-intentioned you might be - this will probably not be effective. It's threatening their fantasy of themselves, so they would rather argue with you and bring out the sharp knives than admit that there's anything wrong with them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. They "construct" a reality around themselves. They don't value the truth, especially if they don't see it as hurting anyone. If you call them on a lie and they are backed into a corner, they will act very defensively and say ugly things (most likely but depends on personality), but they may eventually start to act like, "Well, what's the difference? You're making a big deal out of nothing!" (again, to refocus the conversation to your wrongdoing instead of theirs). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Because these people don't value honesty, a lot of times they will not value loyalty. So watch what you tell them. They will not only tell others, but they will embellish to make you look worse. Their loyalty is fleeting, and because they are insecure people, they will find solace in confiding to whomever is in their favor at the moment. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. They may be somewhat of a hypochondriac. This can come in especially useful when caught in a lie, for example, they can claim that they have been sick, or that there's some mysteriously "illness" that has them all stressed out. It's another excuse tool for their behavior. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Obviously, they will contradict what they say. This will become very clear over time. They usually aren't smart enough to keep track of so many lies (who would be?). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another WikiAnswers Contributor adds:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; They lie about even the smallest things. For example, saying "I brushed my teeth today," when they didn't. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; They add exaggerations to every sentence. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; They change their story all the time. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; They act very defensively when you question their statements. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; They believe what they say is true, when everyone else knows it isn't. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;An alternate 'checklist':&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Lies to get sympathy, to look better, to save their butt, etc. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Fools people at first but once they get to know him, no one believes anything they ever say. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; May have a personality disorder. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Extremely manipulative. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Has been caught in lies repeatedly. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Never fesses up to the lies. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Is a legend in their own mind. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you know if someone is a sociopath?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;!-- if no answer, let the user know how to contribute --&gt; &lt;!-- display answer --&gt; &lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&gt;&lt;a class="h2heading h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" name="Answer"&gt;Answer&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Here is a list of ways to identify a sociopath. This list is from "Profile of a Sociopath". Is is a pretty good list of sociopathic indicators. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Glibness/Superficial Charm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Manipulative and Conning&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Grandiose Sense of Self&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pathological Lying&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shallow Emotions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Incapacity for Love&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Need for Stimulation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Callousness/Lack of Empathy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Irresponsibility/Unreliability&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Authoritarian&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Secretive&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Paranoid&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Conventional appearance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Incapable of real human attachment to another&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Unable to feel remorse or guilt&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Narcissism, grandiosity (self-importance not based on achievements)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;May state readily that their goal is to rule the world&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Obviously, in order to be a sociopath a person doesn't have to exhibit anything like all the above. Usually, the lack of a conscience, the manipulation of others, dishonesty and the inability to love and/or have lasting and profound personal relations and cruelty are key symptoms and often much more revealing than having been in trouble with the courts). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;table style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;" width="100%"&gt;  &lt;h1 style="margin: 0pt; padding: 1px 10px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;How do you know if someone is a narcissist?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;a name="Answer" class="h2heading answer h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Answer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a name="Answer" class="h2heading answer h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I think it is someone who is is self absorbed. They are impressed with themselves. They have a difficult time with other people when they are successful in life. They &lt;img src="file:///C:/Users/GMONDR%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /&gt;want to have the focus on them. I think it is especially an effort for them to take the focus off of themselves in order to help others. If they do help others it has to be gratifying to them or they feel put out and the person can FEEL their negative energy. I feel for any kind hearted person who has to deal with them. Their presence is toxic! Be glad you can see and probably feel the sick energy they display. You know it is their illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is mythomania?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Answer:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;!-- if no answer, let the user know how to contribute --&gt; &lt;!-- display answer --&gt; &lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&gt;    &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Mythomania is lying or exaggerating to an abnormal extent.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Does the person who has mythomania know that they have it or no?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Answer:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;!-- if no answer, let the user know how to contribute --&gt; &lt;!-- display answer --&gt; &lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&gt;    &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; The best answer I could find to this question is this, "it is questionable whether it is always a conscious act and whether pathological liars have control over their lies." So it looks like the experts are not even sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally my personal favorite and one that I believe describes O'Blah Blah to a tee...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a sociopath social climber?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name="Answer" class="h2heading answer h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Answer: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The term "sociopath social climber" sounds a statement condemning the actions of someone considered to be getting socially "above themselves" at the expense of others and "fair play" (sincerity, truth, honesty, integrity and so on). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, a "sociopath" in the medical sense of the word is a person who has been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (and is therefore an "antisocial", "sociopathic" or "psychopathic" personality), according to the diagnostic criteria. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The word is often used to describe people who are harmful or damanging to others (and not necessarily diagnosed with a mental health disorder). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Sociopathic" personalities are people without a conscience:  they lie, cheat, exploit, con, use and abuse others CONSISTENTLY. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sociopathic personality is narcissistic and is extremely self centered, self absorbed, self serving and can be utterly ruthless in pursuit of their wants, needs, goals etc. At the extreme end of the continuum, these people are capable of anything (murder etc). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Social climber" is a value judgment, I guess. And it's not a particularly nice one from my egalitarian point of view as it smacks of passing judgment on another for getting "above their station" in life socially in terms of CLASS. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now ask yourselves, "Do any of the above describe a "certain someone" occupying the White House? To be fair, this describes EVERYONE in Washington and every damn politician today. It's not only Obama that is afflicted with these traits. But what really flips my bippy is that the Bots that worship at the temple Obama refuse to acknowledge what any sane person can see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is Full Of Shit!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041698230326388507-5631777403951664992?l=reddragon62.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/feeds/5631777403951664992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1041698230326388507&amp;postID=5631777403951664992' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5631777403951664992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1041698230326388507/posts/default/5631777403951664992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reddragon62.blogspot.com/2010/01/obama-cant-help-himself.html' title='Obama Can&apos;t Help Himself'/><author><name>RedDragon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11851703091586850869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KXnntAGPxWw/SawhShsv62I/AAAAAAAAJOM/gi90ttGJ4kw/s72-c/obama_liar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041698230326388507.post-4785289908984891007</id><published>2010-01-25T17:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T17:58:30.351-06:00</updated><title type='text'>SC Lt.

We have become accustomed to the Republican hate machine churning this nonsense out. They have used the poor as their whipping boy for many a year so nothing this bastard says bothers me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What shocked me  is the lack of outrage at what this animal had to say. Not one Liberal blogger, not one "Progressive site, Not ONE came to the defense of the poor! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not one called this asshole out on his &lt;b&gt;RACIST&lt;/b&gt;... ( &lt;i&gt;yeah  I said it&lt;/i&gt; ) &lt;b&gt;RACIST&lt;/b&gt; remarks!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why is there no call for this man's ass on a platter?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHY?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although it has always been the case with the Republicans and their hate machine, it is now apparent that Politicians in general have no fear of the people they so easily pander to.
