Good Stuff!!!

(Too bad we don't have folks on Capitol Hill willing to speak out like this.

'The Axis of Idiots'



Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people host age. You're the runner-in-chief.



Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S. S. Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.



John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam . You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq , like Vietnam , is another war that you were for, before you were against it.



John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa . Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.



Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.



Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers we re open under new management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated, drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end inWashington .



Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam:

Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we,
the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.



American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.

You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.

Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.



No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS.

America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets.


Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.

Charles Schumer--Big Idiot or the Biggest?


Chuck Schumer (D-NY) probably pushed Indymac into ruin, and cost the taxpayers how many millions of $$?


Chuck Schumer decided to "come out publicly and criticize the Office of Thrift Supervision in their handling of what seemed to be an impending bank failure. Guess what causes a bank run? Publicity about an impending failure... From the wikipedia article on Schumer:


In July, 2008, the director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, John Reich, blamed the failure of savings and loan and mortgage originator IndyMac on comments made in late June by Schumer, who sent a publicized letter to the regulator raising concerns about the bank's solvency. Schumer wrote that he was "concerned that IndyMac's financial deterioration poses significant risks to both taxpayers and borrowers and that the regulatory community may not be prepared to take measures that would help prevent the collapse of IndyMac." In the following 11 days, panicked depositors withdrew a total of $1.3 billion in mostly insured funds.<sup> </sup>Reich said Schumer gave the bank a "heart attack" and opined, "Would the institution have failed without the deposit run? We'll never know the answer to that question"

So of course the failure of IndyMac has helped to exacerbate the Fanny/Freddie crisis. One thing people, especially politicians regulators have to realize is that every word that comes out of their mouths during a financial crisis could cause a problem to explode. Schumer is a publicity hound and who knows how many people lost a substantial amount of their retirement or life savings because he had to weigh in publicly about this. I hope this issue doesn't come back to haunt Democrats in November. It may be time to vote this guy out of office in 2010. He may be a shill for Wall Street, but he displays an amazing lack of understanding about financial issues.

How Chuck Schumer Set Off a Bank Panic


The founding fathers gave us a legislative branch divided into two 'houses'. The lower house is the House of Representatives, modeled to some degree on the British House of Commons. That's where the firebrands were supposed to go. Some would be responsible populists, and some would be reckless demagogues, but spread out over a large number of reckless demagogues of opposing views, their damage would be mitigated.

The upper house, the Senate, on the other hand was supposed to be deliberative. If the House of Representatives was the hot cup of coffee, the Senate was the saucer in which the coffee cooled. Our founders intended that the Senate would be the chamber which would house the statesman of our legislative body. But, then again, our founding fathers never met Chuck Schumer.

Bob Dole once said the most dangerous spot in Washington was between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera. That may be true. But it might be even more dangerous to be a shareholder in, depositor in, or employee of a bank which Schumer decides to attack. Indymac Bank was having trouble, of course, before, but nothing as serious as a bank run. Bank runs, after all, are very rare in modern history. Common enough during the great depression, they largely disappeared in response to FDR's creation of a system of safety nets such as FDIC.

So why a 30s style bank panic now? Why Indymac?

Because the left hated them. Indymac has been in the crosshairs for some time. The trial lawyers started going after them about a month ago. Not long after that, Schumer started sending letters to regulators attacking Indymac, questioning the financial viability of a bank which he had never examined. Neither Schumer, nor any of his staff even bothered to contact Indymac with any questions. Unsatisfied with the response, Schumer leaked his letters to the press. The local paper in Pasadena (where the bank is located) played along, and ran the story with a headline strongly suggesting insolvency. Of course, the next day depositors lined up at the door and started withdrawing money. Over the next 11 days, $1.3 billion came out. Indymac, just a regional bank, could not stand that kind of tsunami and it was forced to close its doors. So far about half their workforce has been laid off; and roughly 10,000 depositors are without full insurance coverage for their lost deposits. The shareholders have lost nearly everything.

While Schumer was writing his letters, a left of center 'community' group named the Committee for Responsible Lending was preparing its own attack on the bank. The same week as Schumer's leak, they released material to the press accusing Indy of mistreatment of minority applicants. There are literally hundreds of small activist 'public interest' law firms, 'community' activists, think tanks and advocacy groups around the country that make their living attacking mortgage lenders. These groups label bankers racist if they hesitate to lend in neighborhoods in decline or to minority applicants with spotty credit histories. If the banks then decided to approve the loans, but charge a higher level of interest to compensate for the higher level of risk, then these groups accuse them of 'predatory lending'. If the banks are proven right, and the borrowers refuses to repay the borrowed money, then the banks are smeared for their 'greed' in making the loans in the first place. The Committee for Responsible Lending is a sort of umbrella organization for these groups. Large donors can donate to the cause by donating to CRL and letting them spread the money around.




Well, they went after Indymac, and the result is the second largest bank failure in US history.

Of course, we'll hear a lot about 'greed' this week, and we should. But whose greed?
Schumer's greed for power?

Community activists' greed for shakedown money?

Trial lawyers greedy for huge class action settlements?

Hedge fund managers who write big checks to these groups and

the Democratic Party (including Schumer's Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) and then turn around and make mountains of money shorting mortgage paper?


No, we'll hear about none of the above from most in the media. The real culprits will have gotten away with it, and the victims will bear the blame. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/JerryBo...p;Comments=trueThe victims are the United States Taxpayers! Thank you Smucky Schumer, Trial Lawyers, Community Activists, Hedge fund managers and Democratic Party! mad.gif

The country seems to agree:

Bush, Congress get record lows in AP-Ipsos poll

Jul 15, 4:38 PM (ET)

By ALAN FRAM

WASHINGTON (AP) - It's gotten even harder to find someone who thinks things are going well in this country.

Jarred by stubborn economic woes and long-lasting wars abroad, a soured public has given President Bush and Congress record low approval ratings in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll. The survey, released Tuesday, also set a new floor for the number of people saying the country is heading in the right direction.

Just 16 percent said the country is moving the right way, a virtual tie with the 17 percent who said so last month.

In addition, 28 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, tying his low in the AP-Ipsos survey set last April.

Congress fared even worse: a new AP-Ipsos low of 18 percent said they were happy with Congress' work, down 5 percentage points from last month.

With soaring fuel prices, ailing financial and housing markets and rising inflation, Bush got his lowest grade for handling the economy. Just 24 percent approved of how he's dealing with it, tying last month's AP-Ipsos low on that issue.

About three in 10 voiced approval for how he's handling Iraq, domestic issues and foreign affairs. All are near or tied with previous lows in the survey.

The AP-Ipsos poll began in December 2003. The record low presidential approval in the Gallup Poll came in 1952, when President Truman hit 22 percent. Since Gallup began asking about approval of Congress in 1974, the all-time low has been 18 percent, reached several times, most recently in May.

The AP-Ipsos poll was conducted from July 10-14 and involved telephone interviews with 1,000 adults. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080715/D91UGN7G0.html

It's not surprising that the democrat controlled Congress polls much worse than farking Bushie!

With the Axis of Idiots running the show, the peeps aren't happy.

The Axis of Idiots are farking up The Baby Jesus's chances to win the crown.

The $4 Billion Senator
Wall Street Journal, by Editorial


The federal takeover of IndyMac Bank over the weekend could cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. between $4 billion and $8 billion. But Senator Chuck Schumer, who helped to precipitate the collapse by publicizing a letter to the bank's regulator last month, has no remorse. He was, he says, just doing his job in telling regulators that the bank "could face a collapse," a prophecy that quickly proved to be self-fulfilling.

It is all about electing a veto proof Congress and putting an inexperienced, not too sure of what he means, Obama in the White House. Then Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer will have the power they need to "end this country" as we know it and reshape it into the socialist model that Kennedy has worked for all his life. He has always said that socilism has failed everywhere it was tried because "he" wasn't running it. Well, he may not live to see it happen but we could be well on our way. First things first. The country has to be so scared and so depressed that they are willing to accept any "Change" without looking too closely. As our children say, "Are we there yet?"

Voted NO on making the Bush tax relief permanent that are to expire in 2010.

Voted NO on $99 economic stimulus: capital gains & income tax cuts in 2002.

Voted NO on eliminating the Estate Tax ("death tax") – so, Bush was right to make that comment above.

Voted NO on $46 billion in tax cuts for small business – 2000.

It wouldn't be a G-8 summit meeting without a microphone mishap.

When leaders of the world's richest nations, the so-called Group of 8 - the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Russia - gathered two years ago in St. Petersburg, President George W. Bush was caught using some blunt, colorful language as he munched on a roll during lunch.

For four exceedingly enlightening minutes, the world was treated to an unvarnished view of the American president as he expounded on everything from his penchant for Diet Coke to his long-winded fellow leaders. ("I'm not going to talk too damn long like the rest of them.")

At the gathering this week on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, the lunchtime microphones were on again, capturing an unwitting Bush in high chit-chat mode as he mingled before the meal.

The life-of-the-party president waxed eloquent - O.K., maybe not so eloquent, but at least there was no profanity this time - on the health of his parents, his birthday and the corruption charges facing one of his best buddies in Europe, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, among other matters.


"Amigo! Amigo!" Bush called out cheerily - in Spanish - when he spotted Berlusconi. "How you doing, Silvio? Good to see you!"

Later, the president wondered about his former Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

"Did Putin come to see you since I saw you?" he asked Berlusconi. (He hadn't.)

Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany walked in, clutching a newspaper featuring a photograph of Bush's father during a trip last week to Berlin. "His father," she explained to the other leaders.

The elder Bush, 84, has been slowing down since his hip replacement surgery last year. His son looked concerned.

"How did he feel?" the president asked. "How did he look? Can he walk O.K.?"

"The walking is difficult for him," Merkel, who had met with the elder Bush in Berlin, replied....




Over in the corner, Bush spied Robert Zoellick, the head of the World Bank. The president's voice boomed: "Everybody know Zoellick, the World Bank man?"

Then it was back to Berlusconi. On Tuesday, the day after the lunch, an embarrassed White House issued a formal apology to the Italian prime minister for having distributed a biography to reporters that noted Berlusconi's "convictions on a number of corruption charges" (all overturned) and used the word "suave" to describe him. But at the lunch, Bush had a different take on Berlusconi's troubles.

"I read the courts are after you again," he told the prime minister, a note of outrage in his voice. "It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. Constantly after you."

Funny, but at the next day's lunch, the microphones were cut off.

The Republican “Better Qualifed To Lead Us In War” Myth Is Crapola!
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/15902

If you honestly believe the Republicans are actually qualified to wage war, and better than the Democrats, you might just want to invest in that sinking golf course in the Everglades, the one with lots of water traps! I actually put more credence in the Tooth Faery and the Great Pumpkin. And speaking of Florida (the land of denied voters), there is a moronic (and/or perhaps just sleazy) businessman there who recently put up a huge billboard displaying a picture of the twin towers burning in NYC with the caption, “Please Don't Vote for a Democrat.”

HUH!?!?!?! What am I missing? Oh right, the myth that Republicans will keep us safer (COUGH)…

The World Trade Center attacks on 9/11 occurred nine months into George Bush’s and Dick Cheney’s (Republicans both) Siamese twin Presidency which repeatedly ignored numerous entreaties by the previous Democratic Administration to be aware of the threat posed by Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. It was Condoleezza Rice (a Republican), Bush’s National Security Advisor, who ignored (or at least didn’t push) an intelligence brief entitled, “Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States” (mentioning activities "consistent with preparations for hijacking."). We were attacked a month later, and said to be caught completely by surprise.

It was also the Bush Administration (Republicans all) that botched the invasion of Afghanistan, and let Bin Laden escape by beginning a war in Iraq, a nation having nothing to do with 9/11. And, it was the failed policies of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (a Republican) that led to chaos in Iraq, and eventually the insurgence, which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, including over 4000 American soldiers, with more than 30,000 wounded, 8000-plus seriously. And lives have not been the only cost. The war that was sold to us by this Republican Administration, and was going to cost little or nothing because of Iraqi oil revenues, might end up with a price tag approaching $5 trillion when all cost factors are taken into consideration. Yikes, no wonder the American economy is presently booming. For any diehard Republicans and lingering Bush supporters, that last comment was meant to be facetious (look it up)!

All these abominations occurred during a Republican Administration and a Republican led Congress (up until the mid-term elections in 2006). These same Republicans, along with John McCain, the current Republican presidential nominee, are continually claiming the surge in Iraq is a success. This is highly questionable, considering how completely dysfunctional the Iraqi infrastructure is, and just how much hatred has been generated there against America. If you honestly believe that we are close to some kind of victory in Iraq, please watch the documentary “No End In Sight.” You will become educated on all the reasons why the Iraqi people have legitimate cause to hate our nation. It might also become apparent why there will be no peace between Iraq and the United States for a very long time to come! A temporary lull in violence does not a victory make.

Denial is not going to make this mess go away, nor is it going to rationalize away all the pain caused by the present American Economy created by this Republican Administration, not only waging an unnecessary war, but an extremely incompetent and costly one.

I’ve never understand this BS argument that Republicans are the party which serve us best during times of war. The two largest and most noteworthy wars of the 20th Century, WWI and WWII, were successfully fought and won during Democratic administrations. No doubt the Republicans like to talk a good war, but I see absolutely no evidence they know how to successfully fight and win one.

John McCain continues with his hawkish blather, and the erroneous argument that he is somehow qualified as a military genius and Commander in Chief who “knows” how to fight and win a war because he spent five years as a POW in Vietnam and comes from a military family. Just recently he stated, “I know how to win wars. I know how to win wars.” In reality, I don’t really recall just when he has been right about any of his Iraq assessments, or ever played a role in winning a war.

Ironically, Barack Obama (the Democrat) has been correct regarding two issues concerning this present “War on Terrorism." And of course, he was unmercifully bashed and criticized for his efforts by the Republicans and the right wing when it was convenient to do so.

Obama was in favor of the notion of a timetable for removal of our troops in Iraq, something that is, guess what, now being demanded by the Iraqi government, and considered by the Bush Administration and the Pentagon. Also, Obama said he would be willing to strike Al Qaeda inside Pakistan. “If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.” Well guess what again? According to the International Herald Tribune on June 11, “American air and artillery strikes killed 11 Pakistani paramilitary soldiers during a clash with insurgents on the Afghan border on Tuesday night, a development that raised concerns about the already strained American relationship with Pakistan.” Well….DOOOOH!?!?!

And if you believe you have heard it all, John McCain’s proposed model for policy in an ever-problematic Afghanistan is the same awesome plan that has been so successful in Iraq. My God!!! This is the same guy whose Iran policy sounded like “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” and who thought it was okay to spend another 100 years in Iraq, even if there were no Americans getting killed, and regardless of whether or not the Iraqis want us there.

McCain is even suggesting we create a “separate Czar” for Afghanistan. He believes one war czar (what happened to the military leadership and the Commander in Chief?) is not enough for both Iraq and Afghanistan. This is really hilarious. When is the last time there was even any reference to the present War Czar appointed by Bush; and now we need two? Perhaps there would be no need to send any more brigades to Afghanistan if Iraq had not become involved in this whole mix in the first place? Yeah right, the Republicans know what they are doing concerning their war on terrorism.

The only possible reason I can think of as to why the Republicans have this reputation for being tough or efficient in war must be that they always talk loud and long about national security and defense, and love to spend more money on the military than all the other nations in the world combined. But incessant talking and spending lots of money obviously do not automatically translate into knowing how to execute a war. Beating up a second-rate military power during the initial phases of war in Kuwait and Iraq is not enough. War necessitates being able to finish what is started, and amazingly, even having plans to do so.

So please, enough of this asinine myth that Republicans know how to wage war and will keep us safer, and Democrats do not, and will not. It’s not only a bunch of crap, but painfully embarrassing as well, not to mention, extremely counterproductive.

Bush Lies In State Of The Union Speech

Bush: "By the year 2042, the entire [social security] system would be exhausted and bankrupt."

In what the BBC calls "highly unusual," a State of the Union Speech was interrupted by a chorus of "No's," booing, and heckles from some of the members of Congress in attendance. This happened immediately after the above Bush lie. As Shields mentioned on the PBS wrap-up, and as Brooks concurred, if adjustments are not made, by 2042, as they have been made before, 3/4 of the funds promised would still be available. The entire system would neither be exhausted nor bankrupt. -- Politex, 02.03.05

Bush Stands Out In An Era Of Liars

"President Bush proclaimed that a report by leading economists concluded that the economy would grow by 3.3 percent in 2003 if his tax cut proposals were adopted. No such report exists." Gordan Livingston, 06.03.03



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 26, President Bush said in his weekly radio address, "My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax."

That turned out not to be true. According to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an unspecified number of low- and middle-income families received no tax cut at all because they'd been excluded from an expansion of the child-care tax. --Timothy Noah, 06.03.03



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As always, the purpose of propaganda is to distract the public from the facts, which means denying that oil has anything to do with our intentions in Iraq. The administration has hammered away at this, with designated dove Colin Powell declaiming, "The oil of Iraq belongs to the people of Iraq." Paul Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld's undersecretary of defense, said on Fox News on February 25, "This is not a war about oil. This is going to—if we have to use force, it's going to be to liberate Iraq, not to occupy Iraq. The oil resources belong to the Iraqi people." Rumsfeld himself is quoted as saying, "An Iraq war has absolutely nothing to do with oil."

And on Meet the Press on February 23, Perle, in a retort to presidential aspirant Dennis Kucinich, said, "Allow me to say: I find the accusation that this administration has embarked upon this policy for oil to be an outrageous, scurrilous charge for which, when you asked for the evidence, you will note there was none. There was simply the suggestion that, because there is oil in the ground and some administration officials have had connections with the oil industry in the past, therefore it is the policy of the United States to take control of Iraqi oil. It is a lie, congressman. It's an out-and-out lie."

Four years ago Perle was singing a different tune. On January 26, 1998, Perle, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld, along with several others, signed a letter to President Clinton that said, "It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world's supply of oil will all be put at hazard." --Ridgeway, 03.06.03



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS INDICATE BUSH IS LYING ABOUT HIS WAR DECISION. "President Bush has continued to say he has not yet decided whether to go to war. [Today Bush said, "If we go to war..."] But the message being conveyed in high-level contacts with other council governments is that a military attack on Iraq is inevitable, these officials and diplomats said. What they must determine, U.S. officials are telling these governments, is if their insistence that U.N. weapons inspections be given more time is worth the destruction of council credibility at a time of serious world upheaval....

In meetings yesterday with senior officials in Moscow, Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton told the Russian government that "we're going ahead," whether the council agrees or not, a senior administration official said...."You are not going to decide whether there is war in Iraq or not," the diplomat said U.S. officials told him. 'That decision is ours, and we have already made it. It is already final. The only question now is whether the council will go along with it or not.'" --WP, 02.25.03

Some critics say Bush's zeal for running Iraq and transforming it into a democracy sounds just like the nation-building efforts he campaigned against. On Oct. 11, 2000, then-Texas Gov. Bush said: "I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have kind of a nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not." But yesterday White House press secretary Ari Fleischer proved the critics wrong once again. "During the campaign, the president did not express, as you put it, disdain for nation-building," he said. So there you have it." --Kamen, 02.28.03

WHITE HOUSE CONTINUES BUDGET DOUBLESPEAK "The budget differs from those of other recent presidents in two important ways. Nowhere does Mr. Bush make balancing the budget an important goal. And he makes no claim that the era of big government is over, or even nearing an end. "This is a president of big projects and big ideas," his budget director, Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., said today....Paying no heed to the notion of a balanced budget, Mr. Bush advocates deep tax cuts on top of the large ones enacted two years ago. By contrast, when big deficits began to appear after President Ronald Reagan drove tax cuts through Congress in 1981, Mr. Reagan approved offsetting tax increases....Mr. Daniels said this morning, "A balanced federal budget remains a high priority for this president." But unlike the submissions of recent predecessors, this budget describes no plans to reach that goal. " 02.04.03

President Bush, speaking to the nation this month about the need to challenge Saddam Hussein, warned that Iraq has a growing fleet of unmanned aircraft that could be used "for missions targeting the United States."

Last month, asked if there were new and conclusive evidence of Hussein's nuclear weapons capabilities, Bush cited a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency saying the Iraqis were "six months away from developing a weapon." And last week, the president said objections by a labor union to having customs officials wear radiation detectors has the potential to delay the policy "for a long period of time."

All three assertions were powerful arguments for the actions Bush sought. And all three statements were dubious, if not wrong. Further information revealed that the aircraft lack the range to reach the United States; there was no such report by the IAEA; and the customs dispute over the detectors was resolved long ago. --10.22.02, Washington Post

Proposed George W. Bush Sewage Plant makes ballot

Thu Jul 17, 8:27 PM ET

SAN FRANCISCO - A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush's years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.

The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Supporters say the idea is to commemorate the mess they claim Bush has left behind by actions such as the war in Iraq.

Local Republicans say the plan stinks and they will oppose it.

Electrical Problems Plague U.S. Iraq Bases
Report: Inferior Work By Private Contractors Worse Than Pentagon Previously Acknowledged

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/18/...in4270975.shtml

(CBS/ AP) Inferior electrical work by private contractors on U.S. military bases in Iraq is more widespread than the Pentagon has acknowledged, according to a published report.

A Senate panel investigating the electrocutions of Americans on bases in Iraq was told last week by former KBR Inc. electricians that the contractor used employees with little electrical expertise to supervise subcontractors in Iraq and hired foreigners who couldn't speak English. The Pentagon has said 13 Americans have been electrocuted in Iraq since September 2003. It has ordered Houston-based KBR to inspect all the facilities it maintains in Iraq for electrical hazards.

The New York Times reported on its Web site Thursday night that many more people have been injured, some seriously, by shocks, according to internal Army documents. A log compiled this year at one building complex in Baghdad disclosed that soldiers complained of receiving electrical shocks in their living quarters almost daily, the paper reported.

Five Pieces of Liberal "Wisdom" That Need to Be Put Out to Pasture
by John Hawkins

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." -- Fake Thomas Jefferson

Actually, Thomas Jefferson never said or believed that, which makes perfect sense given that he was a very wise man and that phrase is nonsense.

Dissent can indeed be patriotism, but it can just as easily be foolishness, disloyalty, or even treason. Moreover, it's hard to miss the fact that most people who use the phrase "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism," seem to have an active dislike of their country.

A true American patriot may disagree with his government, criticize his nation's policies, or refuse to go along with the majority of his fellow citizens, but he will also never turn his back on his own country or hold it in contempt.


"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither." -- Misquoted Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin, being a brilliant man, didn't ever actually say the above quote. What he really said was, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

If you're not a deep thinker, those may seem to be small changes, but those qualifiers make all the difference. People who truly bought into the original fake Franklin quote wouldn't even put locks on their doors or child resistant caps on dangerous pills because even those tiny sacrifices of liberty for the sake of security would mean that they'd deserve neither.


"Jesus was a liberal." -- Liberal bumper sticker

Jesus, as Mike Huckabee famously said, "was too smart to ever run for public office," and he was not, in any way, shape, or form, a liberal -- or for that matter, a conservative.

If you're a liberal and happen to believe otherwise, I'm sure you'd be in for a rude awakening if you ever had an actual discussion with Jesus about, say gay marriage, premarital sex, abortion, Islam, or prayer in schools. In fact, if Jesus were to come back tomorrow, chances are they'd be calling him JesusHitler on Daily Kos by the end of the week. Not that we conservatives would escape chastisement either, but at least we're not so arrogant as to believe that our Lord and Savior would be filling in while Rush Limbaugh is on vacation.


"Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?" -- Anonymous

The simple answer to that question is that's not why we execute criminals. "(W)e kill people who kill people," to discourage other people from following in their footsteps and to mete out justice for the victims and their families.

To be blunt about it, some people just deserve to die and if we can give them what they deserve in such a way that it saves other lives, that's a good thing.


"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Violence may not solve everything (That quote still works), but conversely, that doesn't mean it solves nothing. In fact, it's fair to say that violence has been the greatest problem solver in the history of mankind, which is why we still have fights and wars despite all the problems those activities have caused throughout human history.

If anything, we've gotten to a point where we're so far beyond avoiding taking an "eye for an eye" that we've actually started creating longer, more miserable conflicts as a result.

Look at Israel, for example, where you have ragtag gangs of Palestinian terrorists that have been fighting for decades with a military power capable of utterly crushing them in a few weeks time. Look at our own war on terror, where we're wringing our hands about the "suffering" the terrorists may experience during the two minutes they're being waterboarded. Meanwhile, they're gleefully torturing our soldiers to death with power tools.

The point is not that we should always take an "eye for an eye." It's that violence does often work, there is a time to use it, and when we do need to use it, trading a tap on the wrist for a plucked eye isn't necessarily the best strategy.
