Glenn Beck Compares Derailing Health Care To Preparing For 9/11
ratilfar
by ratilfar  11-3-2009    1
 HERE IS A TRANSCRIPT OF BECK: Ten years ago, I could have shouted every single day about Osama bin Laden and his wacky crazy threats to kill Americans in New York and nobody would have been willing to stand in line two hours while some security officer made grandma take her shoes off. No one would have done it. But don't you see. While the government is still not willing to do these things, today America is different. America has changed. Washington, we're not going to let you get away with it anymore. Look, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Conservatives are awake. 9/12ers are willing to do the hard things. We know what this means! We're taking time out of our busy lives, taking time away from their families, they're attending town hall meetings. Do you think they want to do that? They are calling their representatives. How many times do we have to be yelled at by your people in Washington? They are reading 2,000-page healthcare bills on the weekend. The 9

And Tonight’s Winner of the Sputtering Idiotic Partisan Hyperbole Award Is…

 The Republicans and FOX News are not the enemies of health care. They are opposed to a massive government expansion that can only be brought about through prohibitive costs maintained by a confiscatory tax scheme, and that by its very nature will restrict individual liberties, and restrict freedom of choice in ways that the government simply has no authority to assert. The Republicans and FOX News are not the enemies of education. They simply realize that despite the fact that the federal government has over time usurped power over the field of education that rightly belongs to the states and their subject governments, there is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to continually interfere in education and foist a politically correct agenda onto the American Peoples’ children, nor is there any legal justification to supplant the parents’ rightful opinions for their own.

 Editor’s Update 12:45 pm: The Worcester Police Chief tells WBZ that there is no official ‘boycott ‘ of the T & G. However, he does confirm the department is changing its media policy to scold the paper, to let them know they are not the ‘only game in town’ and increase transparency in the department.

Glenn Beck Hates 9/11 Families and Calls Katrina Victims, SCUMBAGS!

by thinkingblue  9-13-2009   
 Is there no end to Glenn Beck's HATRED AND BIGOTRY? Apparently not. And this hypocrite has the audacity to promote something he calls 9/12 project. When I heard that this joker Glenn Beck was acting as though he was trying to unite WE THE PEOPLE... It made me sick to the degree of needing a puke bucket. Who the hell is this idiot trying to flimflam? We, who have a bit more marbles than the average Fox (you call that NEWS?) viewer... have heard all Becks noxious hyperbole, (that spews almost visibly, like foul breath from this guys pie-hole) before and can't be proselytized by his insanity now! Becks 9/12 project of Preaching 9 Principles and 12 Values that he says have been lost in the USA today (I could just imagine this crackpot sitting at his Fox Desk, scribbling this crap onto paper trying to make up this slaphappy list ... ) Its bona fide BULLSHIT to the smelliest degree. thinkingblue

Be wary of those who tell you online business is a breeze
soniman
by soniman  7-15-2009   
 Making money online is a serious business. People lie very often about its potentials. Once in a while, you may make a lucky quick buck here for there, but doing it consistently is no small challenge. Perhaps the reason is the very fickle knowledge of many so-called gurus It is certainly not recommended to go into it blind, or too trusting of all these chest beating mentors. We are not in the superlative or the hyperbole trade, but we think that this one can get you most of the way.Have a look at least.. This business model has answered the questions of many who want to make it honest and clean in a very positive and fruitful way

Left in Dark Times, Bernard-Henri Lévy
willhelm
by willhelm  7-3-2009   
 Maybe the most important book of our time! I think I will move this to the top of my list MORE: The neoprogressives believe "liberalism is the source all the planet's evils," Lévy writes (p. 90), so they must declare innocent those Third World despots who "meddle with their citizens and treat them like cattle," because in the neoprogressive dogma "the System, and the System alone, bears full responsibility." They reject that the great revolutions, including the British and the American, were explicitly liberal, and used liberal thought in their struggle against absolutism (p. 92). The liberal market-based republics can more easily be portrayed as Evil, when liberty, which might be thought their finest aspect, disappears from view.

"Dodomayor," and proud of it.
pecksnif
by pecksnif  6-16-2009   
 I realized that Sotomayor does something I’ve heard before. She employs a very common strategy in the politically correct world of college campuses. In order to defend her position on racial preferences, she must first deny that she understands the terms. In her world, merit and ethnicity are synonymous. Therefore, one’s “experience” being Hispanic is equal with a high LSAT score. As Sotomayor points out, Hispanics and other minority students — though not Asians — score lower on many standardized tests. She acknowledges these “statistics.” Instead of attacking the real culprits of this discrepancy, likely poverty, poor education, and parental education levels, she believes the system itself must bend to accommodate “fairness.”

Obama's Tour Leaps Back to the Future
citizenbfk
by citizenbfk  6-5-2009    1
 Celebrating the Invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, laying a wreath at a concentration camp (while the German Chancellor made a point to lunch in Dresden), and giving a speech in a hearts of the Muslim world - about racist attempts to whip up a new Crusade,- it was another dramatic week in Obama's path forward - a path which also attempts to return America to the roots of its core laws and ideals. We're not suppose to act like Nazi or Israeli fascist, for example: We don't torture. We're not suppose to hate people for their religion (having religious freedom as our 1st Amendment law). We're not suppose to start unnecessary wars with deliberately fabricated lies. And we ain't all innocent, Obama mentioning how the USA played a role in the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran and replaced it with a cruel dictator, the Shah). Along the waym rausung the hackles of zionist extremist, Christian TV evangelist, racist & the Party of No. Bravo! Go Johnny

"How I (and other 'pro-life' leaders) contributed to Dr. Tiller's murder"
Lexica
by Lexica  6-2-2009    1
  Hyperbole from the pulpit from religious leaders…is par for the course. But once in a while someone "does something" about it and then everyone says that they were only speaking metaphorically or "spiritually" when they called for violence or for the overthrow the state or when they said things like "God damn America!" or that "abortionists are murderers like Hitler!" …When evangelicals on the right call President Obama a socialist, a racist, anti-American, an abortionist, not a real American, and, echoing the former Vice President, someone who is weakening America's defenses and making us less safe, the logical conclusion is violence. If you take these words literally you might pull the trigger… The same hate machine I was part of is still attacking all abortionists as "murderers." And today once again the "pro-life" leaders are busy ducking their personal responsibility for people acting on their words. The people who stir up the fringe never take responsibility.

Econ 101
merrie
by merrie  2-21-2009   
  ~ ~ ~ ~ Economic Mess for Dummies ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ What is a CDO or CDS? Imagine taking paper debt like mortgages, subprime mortgages, car loans, credit cards loans, and pretty much anything you can imagine. Now combine and mix the paper in a blender, spiking it with worthless rhetorical hyperbole that derivatives are the new paradigm of investments. Then pour the mixture in a pyramid of champagne glasses, to represent the varying levels of return (and risk), with the higher the glass, the lower the risk return and risk. That represents the CDOs. Now as you sell the mess, insure against the risk of the CDOs decreasing in value with CDSs. Presto, $1 trillion of bad loans is transmuted into $62 trillion in faux wealth. An alchemist would be proud. http://nobullbert.blogspot.com/2009/02/economic-mess-for-dummies.html

Krugman: GOP Econ. Rhetoric 'Has Bordered on the Deranged'
Wisco
by Wisco  2-13-2009   
 Not that Obama gets off the hook here. "The Congressional Budget Office, not usually given to hyperbole, predicts that over the next three years there will be a $2.9 trillion gap between what the economy could produce and what it will actually produce," Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugamn writes. "And $800 billion, while it sounds like a lot of money, isn’t nearly enough to bridge that chasm." The stimulus as it stands now, writes Krugman, will only "kick the can down the road." "So far the Obama administration’s response to the economic crisis is all too reminiscent of Japan in the 1990s: a fiscal expansion large enough to avert the worst, but not enough to kick-start recovery; support for the banking system, but a reluctance to force banks to face up to their losses," he tells us. "It’s early days yet, but we’re falling behind the curve." Obama's going to have to go back to the well and we can probably count on Republicans to be just as "deranged" the next time.

'Doom' Rhetoric Seen By Some As 'Not Presidential'
merrie
by merrie  2-8-2009   
 "It's not presidential. An American leader needs to be hopeful and optimistic - and truthful. Everything he says is parsed; everything he says is searched for deep meaning. When he goes to 'DefCon 5' on the economy and says that we're on the brink of catastrophe, it's absolutely insane." Last week he said, "A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe." But he isn't the only Democrat ramping up the rhetoric while talking down the economy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said last month that our economy "is dark, darker, darkest." Rep. David R. Obey of Wisconsin said, "This economy is in mortal danger of absolute collapse." And Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri said of the economic-stimulus bill, "If we don't pass this thing, it's Armageddon."

 I wish every one of you far left nut-cases would ban me from your conservative bashing clips that would save me from trying to fight the urge to respond to insane posts. I am tired of your relentless attacks on values, principles and ideas that made this country great. You far-left revolutionaries are bent on the destruction of this county in your twisted desire to reshape it into your own warped socialistic utopia. So don't expect me to be thankful or to remain or polite while you fascists seek a new and improved version of America, a socialistic regime that would rival the old USSR and make Russia jealous. Your pretended righteousness on issues, condemnation of opposition or truth, makes me want to puke. I am tired of all your sanctimonious hyperbole and I refuse to be polite to those who seek our country’s destruction. It is time for conservatives to become just as vocal and just as nasty as the far left are. You and your socialist friends are America’s main enemy, more
