This morning on NPR, some guy was interviewing Earl Blumenauer [moonbat-OR] while he was commuting to work on his bicycle, as he has done every day for the last 12 years, but when he starting talking about what he's doing to fight Global Warming, he accidentally turned the wrong way down a one way street. It could not have been more appropriate. Of course, the irony was not mentioned on the radio. I had to laugh alone.

Barack Obama is “of the system.

You are right on the money. The more folks learn about Obama, the more they will come to dislike him. He will not be able to stand up under the weakest of examinations. That, however, takes time. Sound bites and photo ops are quick and easy but they won't sustain him forever.

And although the MSM are propping Obama up, in the end they also love to tear people down. There's been more negative press about him than there was about Kerry at the same point in the election cycle, I think, and the campaign finance issue seemed to push a few buttons.

re: #113 Dr. Shalit

And don't let's forget these measures:

22 oz - Standard bottle size of a lot of imported and microbrewed beers (it probably works out to some even-numbered metric measure)

32 oz - One quart. Tecate and other Mexican beers come in bottles this size. The locals call them ballenas (whales).

40 oz - The famed "Fo'tie" of cheap-malt-liquor fame. Essentially two imperial pints of fortified bad beer - guaranteed to produce a cheap, sloppy drunk.

60 oz - The "Sixty". For those malt drinkers needing more than just a Fo'tie. I believe many places have banned the 60-oz bottle because of its ugly effects on people who drink this amount of malt-liquor in one sitting.

During a battle over Obama's tax plan and subsequently McCain/Obama and the war on this NYC real estate site I frequent, a moonbat who was trying to dominate the conversation with a whole lot of nonsense was shut down by about 6 people. Never in my life outside of LGF have I seen a moonbat get shut down like they did today. Everyone kept throwing fact after fact at the loon and they just kept coming back with the same McCain=Bush3 and Obama=God hooey. It was a whole lot of fun, they twisted in the wind quite a bit before leaving the scene completely. Its nice to know there are some other sane people out there in the tubes besides us.

They forget that the Party is named IngSoc, which stands for English Socialism.

Perhaps we should call the Donks and their ilk something along those lines?

Alas, I have tried using facts like that, as well as logical progression and critical thinking to persuade.

It has not made a dent in their steadfast belief in their philosophy or ideology.

To them, facts are an inconvenience, to be discarded when it does not serve their particular argument.

Would that be the measure of one inserted colonoscope?

No matter what you think of Katie's politics, I am proud of her for her efforts to raise awareness about colon cancer, and encouraging people to have dianostic colonoscopies, after she lost her husband to it.

Not many news people could pull off having a colonoscopy done on-air the way she did.

My grandfather—private (offered Captain once), heavy machinegunner, paratrooper—came home from WWII with scars all over him. Big long bayonet wound on a leg from somewhere in France. Chunks of brick under the skin—neck and back— courtesy of a German machinegun at the Battle of the Bulge.

re: #103 Typicalwhitey

Obama's biggest problem will be the messiah thing.
He was so high that he cannot help but fall.
The kostards are taking him to task on the FISA bill, something he must vote for or else he will be seen as weak on terror.
He is moving to the center for the GE and even Moveon.Org is telling him to honor his promise to vote against/fillibuster FISA.

See, here's where I hope that Republicans will not imitate their Democratic counterparts and refuse to vote for their candidate because he doesn't support their favorite cause.

I think Republicans are smarter than that, and I also think there are fewer single-issue voters amongst conservatives, since conservatism is more of a philosophy than the Democratic viewpoint which has evolved into a basically incoherent platform cobbled together from various special interests.

One can hope.

One day there will be a conservative black or multiracial candidate for president and he or she will tell Americans that the legacy of slavery and freedom belongs to all of us. No living American has been a slave or a slave owner for a long time, and we all have a right to claim the correction of a hypocrisy and civil wrongs using our courts and our founding documents and our enormous American good will.

Rough fighting in Europe in '44 and '45 -- most people have no idea.

My dad was a Navy frogman -- first engagement was Kwajalein. Later was in New Guinea, Saipan, Guam, Peleliu, Leyte, Luzon, Okinawa. To the end of his life he had a star-shaped scar on his cheek from shrapnel at Saipan. When he died they found he still had a fungus in his lungs he'd picked up in New Guinea years before.

People forget their service -- mention most of the WWII battles nowadays and people have no idea what you're talking about.

re: #133 razorbacker

What a story. I stand in awe of our military.

Hey all y'all - tried to post this before but am having problems with LGF tonight:
Hey all y'all - the Democrats showed today just how much they care for the demographic group that some pollsters believe is among McCain's strongest supporters: the elderly and the infirm, by reducing by billions of dollars the amount which Medciare will reimburse doctors (story and link in the spin-off links above).
Just for those of you lucky enough to NOT have to rely on Medicare - Medicare ALREADY "allows" payments for virtually every doctor, surgical, prescription, and hospital visit, procedure or stay which are significantly below the amount normally charged by those doctors and hospitals - to the point where some doctors are just not taking Medicare patients at all. For example, I went on Medicare this calendar year and before the month of January was out, my internist sent me a note asking me to schedule a physical exam as soon as possible as he was already "booked" with his medicare patients through October of this year.
Bill was co-sponsored in the House by Charles Rangel (D-NY) and John Dingel (D-Michigan).
Congress has until June 30th to block legislation that would cut Doctor reimbursements by 11%.

That's great. Yes, many Blacks, and especially Black leaders (using the term loosely), tend to willfully forget all the thousands of wonderful white people who at great risk assured their eventual freedom.

The African immigrants coming to the U.S. today are not being told those facts, but they are being told about evil whitey. I work with immigrants and I see it all the time.

re: #160 buzzsawmonkey

6) that Orwell hated the Communists from the days of the Spanish Civil War, when the anarchist militia he was in was suppressed by the imported commissars, and he had to flee for his life.

If I remember correctly, Orwell was a C.P. member for a while. After he was able to think about it, he realized it for the perverse, deluded dream it was, and wrote 1984. Almost as an apology.

Congress tries this every few years and every few years they end up cutting things other than doctor pay, because the doctors will just walk, the reimbursement is already so bad (as your experiences show), and people have a relationship with their doctors but not a big, impersonal health care plan. So that's where the cuts will be made. And it'll hurt just as much through delays in care and poor service. There really isn't a lot of waste left except what is caused by things beyond the control of the health care system.

re: #157 Lucius Septimius Hey Lucius - yeah, sure the Dems do care about the poor, elderly and infirm. I'm on Medicare because I'm on SSDI (don't worry youngin's - I've paid WAAAY more into social security than I'll ever collect, according to my docs) and Medicare costs ME something like $447 a month for basic medicare ($98.68 per month) supplemental medicare to cover the 20% "gap" that medicare doesn't pay doctors ($298 per month) and supplemental drug coverage ($58 per month) until I've "spent" $2,250 a year, then I have to pay out of my own not exactly generous SSDI, the next $4,050 of prescription expenses).
Uh, btw, does somebody owe me an "e-mail" my friend?! LOL!

Sorry all y'all but I gotta go eat dinner! Hope I get the chance to see you down the road!

re: #133 razorbacker

What a great American

re: #168 buzzsawmonkey

PS It may be hard to fathom now, but back in the period 1900-1950 the Socialists hated the Communists. My grandfather, a founder of the Furriers' Union in 1910, and a Socialist then, left the union when the Communists took it over.

The two groups were at daggers drawn most of the time. The Communists referred to Socialists as "social-fascists" in the 1930s. On that basis alone, I doubt that Orwell was ever CP.

MOST OF THE SOCIALIST WERE 'SOCIAL DEMOCRATS' AND NOT MARXISTS.

re: #64 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Ok, I'm about ready to smack a guy. He was trying to argue that a M-16 with a scope could not hit a man sized target at 200 meters. Thats funny, 200 meters is the minimum range the Marines qualify with and thats without a scope.

In slow fire at 500 meters, I hit 40/40 lethal bullseyes with the M1A1.

No scope.

Sorry, I meant to type M16A1, not M1A1. That's the older Abrams tank, not a rifle.

re: #76 ploome hineni

John never talks about that he feels he should not use there service in that way.

From the Presidential Seal discussion just before this open thread, there was talk about voting for Bob Barr. Most responses referred to 'a wasted vote.'

Help me out here, folks. Obama currently has a 15% point lead over McCain. Huge numbers of Republicans don't like McCain for oh, two or three DOZEN reasons. Why is a vote for Obama or McCain not 'wasted,' but a vote for Barr is? Especially when Obama is anathema and McCain doesn't appear to have a snowball's chance to win?

If you don't like what Barr stands for - fine. Don't vote for him. If you want to register a protest vote about the farce this election seems to be becoming, do vote for him. Taking the high road and refusing to vote is also a vote for Obama.

Do the folks who don't want to 'waste' their votes believe they must vote for a winner for their vote to count? If they do, then they should vote for Obama to show their disdain for McCain. One commenter on the earlier thread did say a vote for Barr was a vote for Obama. I wonder if that commenter will sit out the election?

Obama's favorite Bob Dylan song according to his upcoming interview in Rolling Stone (with cover photo natch-still waiting for any Repub to be given such hagiography);

ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I wake in the morning,
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime,
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time,
Then he fines you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks.
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks.
The National Guard stands around his door.
Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law.
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa.
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's twenty-four.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am,
But everybody wants you
To be just like them.
They sing while you slave and I just get bored.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

favorite Rolling Stones song:

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
