re: #5 Karridine

(Karridine. My reply to you left on the last thread)

The host asked me about my job and financial situation (the producer had gotten the info from me ahead of time and prepped the host) and then he wanted to know if anything Clinton said tonight gave me hope that if Obama is elected, then maybe my future would be brighter and I could reach the American Dream.

I told him I wasn't very happy with some of the fiscal policies of the current administration, but I didn't hear anything from Clinton that I thought would be a viable alternative for the country.

I told him as of now, I didn't know who I was going to vote for, and I let him know that I was registered as unafilliated.

He ended my part of the interview with "well, you sound like an unafilliated cynic" and I replied "You're right."

No, you old fogey, they offer "Pot for ALL you chickens!"

Maybe it is flattering ourselves to think that we are living in a pivotal time. As the Chinese saying goes "May you live in interesting times." I think we live in a pivotal/interesting time.

We have a fully energized, global pro-sharia/jihadi movement, going under the name of a thousand and one abbreviations and acronyms. It is funded by a oil money. We have evidence that Europe is undergoing a demographic shift that may be difficult to change at this point to a Muslim-dominant state. We have Russia acting like an aggressive, expansionist power again. An old story, be it the USSR or Czarist Russia. And now we have China on the scene, trying to become a world power without demonstrating any vision. We have envious India not far behind. What do they want? To compete economically and fairly or something more?

In the US, there is an election coming up between a completely unqualified and inexperienced candidate of uncertain affinity and a thousand-times safer and more conservative but still not fully defined maverick.

We are living in a pivotal and interesting time. I just hope the West can maintain its backbone for a while longer. In 20 years, perhaps, other ideologies will again prove to be inadequate, but if in the space of that time demographics and politics make it impossible for the West to assert itself, we may be in for a decline. A big decline.

California Ballot Initiative to Impose 45% Income Tax, 55% Wealth Tax & 36%-54% Exit Tax

A California activist is trying to gather the 694,354 signatures needed to place a tax initiative on the ballot that would:

* Impose a new 35% income surtax (in addition to federal taxes and the existing 10.3% top state rate) -- 17.5% (on all of the taxpayer's income) when income exceeds $150,000 (single)/$250,000 (joint), and an additional 17.5% (again, on all of the taxpayer's income) when income exceeds $350,000 (single)/$500,000 (joint).
* Impose a one-time 55% wealth tax on assets exceeding $20 million held by a California resident or held in California by nonresident.
* Impose an exit tax of between 36.5% to 54.3% on both income and unrealized appreciation in asset values over $5 million when a resident dies or leaves California.

I have tried not to watch too much of the DNCC as I might shoot the the TV ala Elvis. Unfortunately my entertainment this next week will be watch to see which way Gustav will go so that I can get a few more thing together (thank goodness I live in the NW part of Louisiana) just get the rain, tornadoes, wind. Just glad it appears the PTB will be using the buses in NO for something besides getting the 9th ward to the polls to vote this time, Whoo Hoooo!

re: #129 Irene NYC

And along with Obama's tax, redistribute and spend programs, there are more local initiatives being proposed by moonbats like this:

The insanity is starting to get the upper hand.

These punitive and confiscatory tax proposals that delight the liberals so much will most assuredly topple capitalism as we know it, in right short order. The commies that propse these whacked-out Robin Hood taxation schemes have no clue as to how adversely it will impact their own already miserable lives, let alone the lives of all other good Americans. They are hellbent on the destruction of this economy.

Power down first. Then use a very small amount of windex or a very dilute ammonia solution on a clean cloth. Do not use more than a damp cloth. Do not power up until completely dry.

I have no idea what they will call it, But with biden on the team, they could well crib it from the following.

"For today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people.

There has been so much damaging info revealed that there seems to be a feeling building that he is not who he seems to be. And I have a feeling that the Billaries are still going to attack...again.

And the one proviso is who McCain selects for his VP candidate. I lean towards Romney. He seems to balance well with McCain. We should know Friday..McCain's birthday and right after the Demonrats' convention..excellent timing.

The white skinned persons of identity politics (i.e. That Democratic Party money men) have deemed him black enough.

Move along now... nothing to see here.

re: #209 Inquisitive

Skin tone. Tiger Woods is 'black' even though he is a quarter black.

This is the party that'd call my brother in law Mexican for no reason other than skin tone even though he was born in Jackson, Mississippi, grew up in El Paso, Texas and his parents are from Mumbai, India.

They called my uncle Mexican, who took insult with that because he is straight from Old Spain.

There has been so much damaging info revealed that there seems to be a feeling building that he is not who he seems to be

Not to be a pessimist, but....
Well, he isn't who he seems to be. You know that, I know that, most everybody in the room here knows that, but he's obviously quite able to seem to be who a lot of people would like to believe he is.

He did get the nomination of one of the only two parties that matter, didn't he? Now he has all the resources of that same party and all it's supporters to go to work convincing people he is who he seems to be.

The MSM isn't dead yet- they support the illusion.

As a big fan of how Obama handled the Clintons, I think what is happening is that many expected his middle and end games to be like his opening moves and they are now where near as good.

Its not a particularly politically corecct comparison but I am in good company with people like Dr. Henry Louis Gates who admit to having watched and enjoyed Amos and Andy, especially when it gave TV the first all black cast. But there is one episode where Kingfish sells Andy a "dream" house in the suburbs. He drives Andy up there and sure enough there is a lovely house on a plot of land all ready for him so he signs the papers. Turns out, however, the house is just a facade and as Andy tries to move himself in he keeps walking through the front door and suddenly he is in the back yard. Thats what people are feeling about Obama. I saw an MSM
writer and I forget who wo was saying something like, we have to face that Obama is just a politician. Well if he is just that he aint much. That is where people are at. And then there is just this incredibly powerful feeling which I have in my heart as well which some people like Charles Barkley have succumbed to, to see a black president.

Thats true now, but even when I was growing up in the 70s, you were black if you had any known black ancestry regarless yof what you said you were. In fact, if you did have black ancestry and said you were not black, other black people took real offence and white people thought bad of you too, plus that you were anyway.

re: #224 wolfie

re: #224 wolfie

I consider myself mixed, and say so.

One of the reasons I am really questioning this, is due to I think that a man who is completely unqualified for the position of POTUS may be getting voted into that position by some voters just because his claim to being black, but I think of him as being biracial, and just wonder if all those voters thought the same way, would he be where he is at now...or could be in 2 months.

They were together in the house. Just the two of them.
It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and
each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump . She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and
wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm.

Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed... He raced to the sofa where she was cowering. He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms. He knew this was a forbidden union and
expected her to pull back. He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him.

The storm raged on...
They knew it was wrong...
Their families would never understand... So consumed were they in their FEAR that they heard no opening of doors...
