The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Do you also wish, hope, and pray for the death and destruction of more than 1.1 million Muslim Israelis?
Only Jews and Druzes have compulsory military service in Israel.
Imagine that, Israeli Jews forced to serve/fight/die to protect Muslims in Israel.

Bailout Begins A New Round Of Shakedowns
Fresh off the trillion-dollar porkulus bill signing in Denver, President Obama immediately launched into his next New Raw Deal expansion: a massive mortgage entitlement program forcing lenders to refinance at an initial cost of $50 billion to $100 billion.
That's in addition to the bipartisan-supported $50 billion in the "stimulus" bill to bail out homeowners underwater on their mortgages and the $2 billion in "neighborhood stabilization" funds to alleviate the foreclosure crisis.
In tandem with the White House Bad Borrowers Bailout, Obama's old friends at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) are launching a new campaign of their own: the "Home Savers" campaign. What a coinky-dinky, huh?
As with most of the bully tactics of the radical left-wing group, it ain't gonna be pretty. They are the shock troops on the streets doing the dirty work while the Community Organizer-in-Chief keeps his delicate hands clean.
Trumpets ACORN: "On Feb. 19, ACORN members will launch a new tactic in fighting foreclosures: civil disobedience. Participants in the ACORN Home Savers campaign nationwide will simply refuse to move out of foreclosed homes, or in some cases, will move back in. ACORN homesteaders intend to squat in their homes until a comprehensive, federal solution for people facing foreclosure is put in place."
ACORN's foot soldiers, funded with your tax dollars, will scream, pound their fists, chain themselves to buildings, padlock the doors and engage in illegal behavior until they get what they want. It's a recipe for anarchy. Threatens Baltimore ACORN's Louis Beverly, who calls himself a "Foreclosure Fighter":
"After you've used all your legal options, your last resort is civil disobedience. We're talking about families who have been in their homes 20 or 30 years. People who are assets in the community, who look out for the elderly, who have community associations, and these are the people being kicked out of the community."
/your tax dollars at work, funding criminal activity, still have any questions as to why Porkapalooza had to be crammed through Congress before anyone could read it?

UBS Will Disclose Names, Pay $780 Million to End U.S. Tax Case
UBS AG, Switzerland’s largest bank, will pay $780 million and disclose the names of some secret account holders to avoid U.S. prosecution on a charge that it helped thousands of wealthy Americans evade taxes.
The Justice Department accused UBS of conspiring to defraud the U.S. by helping 17,000 Americans hide accounts from the Internal Revenue Service. The U.S. will drop the charge in 18 months if the bank reforms its practices, helps prosecutors and makes payments. UBS will immediately turn over names of about 250 clients, according to people familiar with the matter.
By gaining those names, the U.S. will pierce the veil of Swiss bank secrecy. The IRS, which has sought the names of all U.S. account holders since July, has met resistance from the Swiss government. The final number of account holders Zurich- based UBS must disclose will hinge on future legal battles, according to the agreement.

Pat Robertson has been a f*ck wad ever since I discovered him on the 700 Club in the '70's. The left has used both of them as representives of the right ever since.

The feminist elites are interested in promoting a political ideology, not issues about women's rights.
True enough.
I'd add, though, that the ideology appears to imply dictatorship by a class of "enlightened" post-capitalist, collectivist oligarchs who dictate to the rest of us who are the unwashed and the uncooperative.

Women will always be slaves to the patriarchy.
Until we marry them--then the roles are reversed.///
The concept of "equality" is not inherent in human nature; it's a new concept only several centuries old. Before that, there were always social divisions and hierarchies. Chances are, there always will be, too. There won't be a real equality between genders; one side will always have an advantage. Sooner or later, the balance will shift because of demographics.

Rosa Luxemburg, Jewish, strong anti WW 1 advocate, split from the Social Democrat Party to form the USPD and was subsequently bestially murdered by the Freikorps.
Someone with actual integrity, (seeing through the German war enthusiasm in 1914, understanding that it was against the interest of the people, an immoral and feudal war, designed to enrich the few and cripple the many on all sides) you might disagree with her left leaning pro communist ideas, but one has to say, that woman had more guts than the entire Reichstag together.

If the feminist movement is going to have another "wave" we have to put aside our prejudices and stop letting Roe V. Wade control our voting power.
I'd love to find a compomise on this issue. But in no way seek a middle ground. I beleive life begins at conception, while Sen. Fienstein thinks it's when the baby takes it's first breath. I can grudgingly agree to a 4-6 week period,but no more than that, unless the mothers life is in danger.

Pat Buchanan has pretty much the same agenda as extreme Muslims do.
The American export they are most afraid of is the change in the traditional family structure. However, this is as inevitable as the decline in population growth, and is related to the economic reality of a capitalistic world. Unless something happens to change the World's economy to an agrarian one, we will see smaller families and more females "liberated", (though I'm not so sure about the witchcraft part).

In the USN, we got to attempt to leave the chamber via a dogged down door. No, not the single lever kind that throws all the dogs at the same time.
If you know the type then you'll know that as you're undogging the door some of the latches will fall back into place and you're still stuck.
Much fun and laughter was had by ---- the DI's and the service cadre.

The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.— Pat Robertson
As a journalist who investigated the feminist movement in the 1970's, I know for a fact that they are "anti-family" and they "encourages women to leave their husbands" (or, as they say, "A woman needs a man as much as a fish needs a bicycle."). They are also anti-capitalism (the founder of the movement, Betty Friedan, author of the The Feminine Mystique, was a Marxist.), and they really thought that the only dignified women were lesbians.
I don't know if they ever practiced witchcraft or they wanted to kill their children, certainly not their female children.
I do know that after I exposed one of their particularly nasty hoaxes, they tried to sue me.

Moscow will deliver the S-300s to the mullahs as soon as it can get away with it. Anything to cause disorder. They thrive on it.
They think they have nothing to fear from an Iranian nuke. I guess they think that if they mollify them that that'll keep their own Islamicists calm. Unless they've come to an agreement in the past and it's been working, Iran will turn on them soon enough. Russia wants Israel diminished/removed for political reasons and payback. I guess they figure with prevailing winds any nuke fallout will just blow east on iran, afgan/pak - istan so what do they care? If it happens they'll be in a good position if any oil fields are then off-limits and if no nukes are launched then the threat keeps the US from taking a hard line about any of Russia's bullying of their ex-SSRs. win-win to them. They do NOT like us making nice with their ex-provinces that's why the attempt to make nice with "el puerco" Chavez but because of the lack of land-link it's not the same. (plus they remember the money-pit of the LAST tinpot dictator they supported.)

That is close to how CNN's been trying to pass it off. NYSE drops 400 points when there's enough votes to pass the stimulus and is then up 25 points and they start crowing about how the market seems to be recovering thanks to the stimulus bill, sort of ignoring the net loss of 375 points in two days......

That is close to how CNN's been trying to pass it off. NYSE drops 400 points when there's enough votes to pass the stimulus and is then up 25 points and they start crowing about how the market seems to be recovering thanks to the stimulus bill, sort of ignoring the net loss of 375 points in two days......

I hope when you read that you realized that it was the extreme leftist Meretz party (the most left of the Jewish parties) that said that. Meretz used to have 12 seats in the Knesset. Now they have three and they're fighting over whether number 1 should step aside because he lost and whether number 3 - who was given his position because he brought another small faction in - should step aside in favor of number 4, their only competent MK.
I'm having a great time watching this.

Interesting column from Monday, April 25, 2005:
My lively discussion with the Liberal Avenger has led me in places in the Blogosphere I probably wouldn't ordinarily frequent. A very pleasant surprise was Moonbatabattoir.
Bedrocktruth is gravely concerned with the health of the Democratic Party, and rescuing it from the clutches of the Moonbats. After spending a short while with his site, I think I share his concern, if for somewhat different reasons.
Republicans can't do it alone. We are a divided country politically, so Democrats need to grow up, get over it, and act like responsible adults about the real threats from Islamic Fundamentalism and Terrorism worldwide -- join the struggle for democratic freedoms around the world -- set aside their deep resentment over 2000, 2004, and GW Bush.
This should be just as important to conservatives. There is something noble about a truely noble about a loyal opposition, and it wasn't that long ago that it was made up of people like us. Think of the impact a combined consciousness of national security minded Democrats and likeminded Republicans could have in advancing the War on Terror, and the promotion of democratic principles abroad?
My own current and recent experience with thoughtful critics like The Liberal Avenger should underscore that dialog is possible, and that many of us will find common ground. I know we will all learn something.
I am herewith announcing my intent to create cross-border dialog with those thoughtful and concerned liberals who are as alarmed with the current state of political discourse and discussion as I am. Please contact me with any ideas, I thought perhaps a group blog, or interest in creating such a debate space in the Blogosphere.
Ah, the fruitcup line, from Bedrocktruth:
You might remember the scene from "High Anxiety" when Harvey Corman rushes to the breakfast table, swashes his napkin like a matador's cape, hoists his spoon for the culinary assault, then discovers to his horror that there's NO FRUIT CUP! in it's familiar place on the plate. Cloris Leachman's nurse Diesel acidly explains-"those who are TaaaRRRRdy don't get fruit cup!" LGF has used the comment several times.
It's heartening, sometimes comical-but sad really; this rapidly accelerating meltdown of the Democratic Party (the toes are in their final convulsive rollup and slowly disappearing beneath the house).
I say heartening because I'm convinced that the current leadership, its acolytes and icons will need to be thoroughly exorcised if the party is ever going to return to its roots as even a minimally acceptable representative of heartland thought, values and policy in the country.
In short, my liberal friends-dump the Moonbats now if you ever hope to get fruit cup again!
Do something about the moonbats, or no fruit cup for you!

The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben S. Bernanke, vowed on Wednesday to do whatever it took to pull the economy out of its downward spiral, even as he acknowledged that the most recent indicators were “dismal.”
[...]
Mr. Bernanke made it clear that he supported a stimulus package of increased spending and tax cuts, though he declined to comment on the particulars...[.]Bleak economic data reflecting a sharpening slide in housing, trade, industrial production, spending and employment rates “more than offset” any potential impact from a stimulus plan, the Fed said in the report which reflected the minutes of its Jan. 27-28 meeting.[.]

You're right. I'm just skeptical of medication.
If you had diabetes, would you take insulin?
I cannot recall the figures but, longitudinal studies have shown that kids with ADHD who did not take medicine were much more likely to get into drugs because they seek out something to alter the way they feel.
I'm not talking about just being hyped-up or being unable to sit still for very long in school. It affects every area in a child's life, every relationship.

Lieberman endorses Netanyahu for Israeli premier
Far-right politician Avigdor Lieberman endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu for Israeli prime minister on Thursday, all but guaranteeing that Netanyahu will be the country's next leader.
The divisive Lieberman emerged as the kingmaker of Israeli politics after the Feb. 10 election produced a deadlock between its two largest parties, and his backing of Netanyahu could be the basis for a hardline government.
Such a government could freeze peace talks with the Palestinians, hurt Israel's standing in the world and place it on a possible collision course with President Barack Obama, who has said Mideast peacemaking will be a top priority of his administration.

Dukes of Moral Hazard or How to succeed in breaking the US economy where our external enemies failed.
President Obama yesterday announced his plan to prevent home foreclosures, saying he wanted to be "very clear about what this plan will not do: It will not rescue the unscrupulous or irresponsible by throwing good taxpayer money after bad loans . . . And it will not reward folks who bought homes they knew from the beginning they would never be able to afford."We really do wish he were right. In fact, the details released yesterday suggest the President's plan will do all of the above. The plan will help some struggling homeowners. But by investing in failure, the Administration will also prolong the housing downturn and make financing a home purchase more difficult for future borrowers. Meanwhile, the plan isn't likely to slow the continuing decline in housing prices.

I'd Forgotten Cloward and Piven had their hand in the Vote Now bs during Clinton era tho. Well the Human Serve side note "Vote Now" itself.
In 1982, partisans of the Cloward-Piven strategy founded a new "voting rights movement," which purported to take up the unfinished work of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Like ACORN, the organization that spear-headed this campaign, the new "voting rights" movement was led by veterans of George Wiley's welfare rights crusade. Its flagship organizations were Project Vote and Human SERVE, both founded in 1982. Project Vote is an ACORN front group, launched by former NWRO organizer and ACORN co-founder Zach Polett. Human SERVE was founded by Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, along with a former NWRO organizer named Hulbert James.

Two U.S. lawmakers traveled to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Thursday, the first congressional delegation to enter the area since the Islamic militant group took power nearly two years ago.
The Democratic congressmen, Brian Baird of Washington and Keith Ellison of Minnesota, were in Gaza early Thursday, the U.S. consulate said.
[Link: www.haaretz.com...]OK, we all know what Ellison is but who is Brian Baird? Oh and good morning all and fuck these 2 assholes.
From Wiki:
Baird initially voted against giving the president the authority to go to Iraq War, but came to support a continued U.S. effort in 2007 after a visit to the region. He continued to maintain that the war in Iraq was "one of the worst foreign-policy mistakes in the history of our nation," but also stated a belief in an op-ed published in The Seattle Times that Iraq "at long last begun to change substantially for the better" as a result of the surge. Baird advanced the argument that withdrawal timetables at this time would embolden insurgents, discourage cooperation between Iraqi political factions, and abdicate America's moral obligation to maintain order in the region.[4]
A capacity crowd of approximately 550 filled an auditorium at Fort Vancouver High School for a town hall meeting, with the many attendees voicing passionate disagreement with his stance.[5] Baird requested police protection for the event, the first time he has done so for an event of this type,[6] and Baird also brought along a private bodyguard.[5] The event continued well after the scheduled 9 p.m. conclusion,[6] ultimately passing four hours of discussion.[5]

Everything must go, in this one time, going-out-of-bidness sale - details coming soon. Commander: US Finds Many 2008-Manufactured Iran Arms In Iraq
A U.S. military commander said Wednesday that some Iranian-made weapons found in Iraq had been manufactured as recently as 2008.
"We have found many munitions, Iranian-made munitions, with a manufacture date as recent as 2008," Colonel Philip Battaglia of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division told reporters in Baghdad.
He said his soldiers had found about 500 makeshift bombs and hundreds of 107-mm and 122-mm rockets since June 2008, as well as the components needed to make the roadside bombs that have frequently hit U.S. and Iraqi military convoys.
"We have never captured any munitions (at the time they are) being smuggled across the border, but it is very big,"

Robert Bork identifies the pro-socialist leanings of the radical feminist movement:
“In keeping with its progenitor, the New Left of the Sixties, feminism is fiercely anti-capitalist and pro-socialist” and “… it is in keeping with feminism’s revolutionary neo-Marxism that the movement attacks bourgeois culture on many fronts.”
Women who have been inside the feminist movement have themselves confirmed the Marxist ties to radical feminism.
According to Tammy Bruce:
In order to attract as wide a base as possible, the sixties Leftists hid their socialist sympathies and, in some cases, actual Communist Party membership. Betty Friedan is a classic case. In the book that launched the modern feminist movement—The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963—she portrayed herself as a politically inactive housewife who simply had had enough of sexism. Forty years later, Friedan told the real story. In Life So Far, published in 2000, she recounts, “I would come into New York on my days off from the hospital [and] would go to Communist Front meetings and rallies … I looked up the address of the Communist Party headquarters in New York and … went into their dark and dingy building on 13th Street and announced I wanted to become a member.” This was in 1942, a quarter-century before she and a few others founded NOW. Friedan’s revelation that, while she may have been a bored and frustrated housewife, she had also been a member of the Communist Party, shed some much needed light on how left-wing politics have been masquerading as authentic feminism.
Tammy Bruce claims that
“Betty Friedan, a former Communist Party member, was only the precursor of the hijacking of feminism to serve other political interests.”
She also notes that Gloria Steinem has served
“as an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, which boasts of being the largest socialist organization in the United States and is the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.”
Furthermore,
"Patricia Ireland details her support of the Communist Party in her autobiography, What Women Want, she admits her socialist sympathies and participation in pro-Communist rallies in Miami….”
Tammy Bruce also emphasizes that
“today’s feminist leaders are more concerned with pursuing a socialist agenda than with helping women achieve equality.”
Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge affirm that today’s radical feminism is:
Not merely about equal rights for women … Feminism aspires to be much more than this. It bids to be a totalizing scheme resting on a grand theory, one that is as all-inclusive as Marxism, as assured of its ability to unmask hidden meanings as Freudian psychology, and as fervent in its condemnation of apostates as evangelical fundamentalism. Feminist theory provides a doctrine of original sin: The world’s evil’s originate in male supremacy.
(Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge, Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women’s Studies, p. 183)
Pat may be a religious demogogue but his opinion is shared by others of a more rational bent and shown to be based on facts.

North Africa Qaeda Posts Photos of Western Hostages
Al Qaeda's wing in North Africa published photographs on the Internet on Thursday of four of six Western hostages it says it has in its custody.Earlier this week al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed in an audio tape aired on Arabic broadcaster Al Jazeera that it had a Canadian U.N. envoy and his aide and four Western tourists who were kidnapped in the West African Sahara in December.
A posting on Islamist websites on Thursday showed three separate images of what it said were a Swiss couple, a German woman and a British man, surrounded by men bearing rifles.
In the photographs the women's faces have been blurred.
An accompanying statement reiterated comments by a spokesman in the audio tape saying they "reserved the right to deal with the six captives under Islamic sharia (law)"

It's nothing of the sort here in OZ - just a mishmash of cash handouts, jobs for the boys, rebates for insulation in the ceiling (only about a third of the cost of an average size house so which bloody third will we insulate) etc etc
No nation building stuff at all - no dams,no pipelines to bring all that water now flooding Queensland down south, no major infrastructure projects....
And the bloody MSM just lap it all up and regurgitate it for the masses who are waiting eagerly for their handouts

And they should. I read that her house is about to be foreclosed on. Stupid women.
On the news here this AM they were saying that she was being thrown out of the house. They filed for bankruptcy less than 2 years ago and are now $23,000 behind on their mortgage. And yet she is outraged about being thrown out. Says alot about the sorry state we are in now. I was telling my Dad the other day, when he was in the military the communists were the enemy. When I was in Islamic terrorists were the enemy, never did I think we would put either one let alone both rolled up in one package in the Whitehouse.

The only think I can think with Octomom is that she was in cahoots with the implant doctor and thought she was going to cash in big with all the babies. Mom gets set for life and Doc gets a cut from the movie deals, book deals and media interview. She may have thought she could turn her pathological desire for a huge family into freedom from poverty, but, in my humble opinion, how irresponsible!

When she comes out in hte open about wanting to sell her story etc it gives light to her motivations. The other multi births had a bit of media circus and maybe some Discovery and Health channel spots but none tryed to make millions off it. Her motivations are also revealed when her parents try kicking her out of the house and she makes a fus despite the fact that they've been in foreclosure for 2 years and likely can no longer help her support her lifestyle. She had made 168k between 2002 and 2008 from the State.

re: #607 Irish Rose
I think it's very easy to judge people when you don't have any idea what her motivation really is.
This is true, but she made some choices to exclude a father from the children's lives and expected her parents to bear the burden of physical and financial support. I don't know what her underlying motivation is, but it seems pathologically selfish. She needs to get some therapy.
Yes, I'm judging her! Judging that there is a major mental health issue in play.
As an aside, and this is only speculation - is she trying to punish her parents for her lonely childhood?

Morning Afro. The issue I have with your statement about being pro-choice is that, much feminism, liberals have hijacked that as well. My wife claimed to be pro-choice until I started telling her what the "pro-choice' crowd really stood for. The activist 'pro-choicers' are really pro-abortion.

re: #613 opnion
We have a winnah!
I've tried to stay out of discussion re: Ms. Suleman because of the terrible prejudice and bias that I see in some of the comments. But I just have to speak up here.
In case you missed it, the lady is highly educated.
Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, and is well on the way to a Masters degree in counseling. Before her work injury that led to a short period of time on disability, held a license as a mental health technician.
Does this sound to you like an ignorant welfare mom who breeds multiple children so that she can live off the public dole?
Judge her motivation if you feel that you must, but leave your knee-jerk bias against the poor at the door.
Ms. Suleman worked and put her money into the system, and now she is drawing on the system temporarily to help feed her family... so what?
You clearly have no understanding of how the "welfare" program works in this country... most of the people who criticize it do so without having the faintest idea what they're talking about.
Here's a link that will help you understand how the "welfare" program works (it's not called "welfare" any more, btw). As you can see, there are time limits and work requirements. The food stamp program also has a time limit. Both are temporary safety nets. The biased image that you might have in your head of a lazy woman breeding multiple children to live on the dole all of her life is completely innacurate, and has no basis in fact.
Yes, Ms. Suleman has a large family and that's unusual in this day and age, but not as unusual as you think that it is. Yes, she is drawing benefits during the years while her children are young (a lot of single women do) but she has a degree and is going for a Masters, for heavens sake. This is not a lazy, stupid woman.... this is an incredibly self sufficient and intelligent woman who simply has the desire for a large family and a lot of grandchildren.
People need to lay off the ugly criticism and give this woman a break. She clearly didn't expect to have eight more children but she wasn't willing to murder them for the sake of fiscal convenience, either, and I think that says a lot about her character.
Ms Suleman has always worked to earn a living like all responsible people do, and if she has to lean on the system that she paid into for a few years to keep her large family healthy and fed, then so be it.
It's wrong and sad for people to imply that the woman is an opportunistic whore breeding children for a buck, and it makes me very angry when I see it.

Damn...I said "sodium free" as an assumption. I use it all of the time and it is not salty to taste. But, then I checked, is not sodium free at all. Must be the amount that I add, doesn't come out salty to taste at all. It is a commercial brand that I got from a vegan commercial kitchen.
The container says...US Foodservice, Columbia, MD.
I guess it is just the amount... Find the taste very pleasant.

re: #682 Ford_Prefect
Morning Afro. The issue I have with your statement about being pro-choice is that, much feminism, liberals have hijacked that as well. My wife claimed to be pro-choice until I started telling her what the "pro-choice' crowd really stood for. The activist 'pro-choicers' are really pro-abortion. That doesn't describe my wife and I doubt that would describe you.
Ford, abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. My mother made an appointment to abort me in 1970. Chicago was big in the abortion market. They will happen. I would prefer for the sake of womens health that they are done safely and not by backyard abortionists like they were before Roe V. Wade. There were also women would would kill themselves while attempting to puncture their womb with a coat hanger. I think abortion is a privacy issue and that is basically what the court said. I have never had one. I never will. But if I did I would go into it knowing that I was ending a life. The movie Vera Drake is a good one to watch as well as 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days a foreign film .

FYI, I have never found a soup base flavoring without sodium.
Here is a company I purchase spices and mixes from that have superb quality. My favorites are Fines Herbes and Parisian Herbes. Their Josh Rogan is wonderful for veggie stews. Penzeys Spices [Link: www.penzeys.com...]
Also, here is some info on how to De-Gas your Beans.
What causes the gas is a carbohydrate that you can not digest. The best way to reduce it is to boil your uncooked beans for 1 minute then allow it to soak for an hour. Then you drain and cook normally. This reduces that nasty carb by 42.5%. However I understand that beans made in this way aren't as tasty.
The runner-up method is to soak them overnight, drain, and then cook normally. This removes 28%.
They also tested epazote, kombu, bay leaves, and baking soda and saw no results, but they admit that "it is possible that they act only during digestion."

Then my husband had a female employee who graduated in gender and eco-studies, and practiced various forms of wiccan, gaia, earth worship, was proudly bi-sexual and to this day lives on a working farm without electricity.
She is also socialist and anti-capitalist, although she is very beautiful and funny, and resourceful. She went to her senior prom with Jewel, the singer.

re: #692 Irish Rose
I don't think the issue with the "octuplet" lady is whether it's OK to have a large family or not. I think there are serious ethical and criminal issues with the doctor and/or fertility clinic that permitted this. In short, I think the doc should lose his license, and spent some time behind bars.
Fertility technology DOES change the ethics and the rules. In the olden days, a woman actually had to have a male to get it on with. That meant two parents to support however many children a couple decided to have. And lots of children meant a lower standard of living, unless the couple were wealthy. That was a choice they were entitled to make.
But with fertility technology, those social constraints no longer apply. I'd say one child at a time is a reasonable constraint to place upon a fertility doctor. And if the mother is single, so there is no father, perhaps we should vet women the way we vet parents before permitting adoption-- will she be a fit parent capable of supporting the child? THat's common sense.
One last thing: Rose, you're likely unaware of it, but Obama's "stimulus" bill repealed welfare reform. I'm appalled by this, but your recitation of the old welfare rules no longer is relevant.

re: #692 Irish Rose
We did a sub for Santa program in 1993, and we were assigned to young woman in her late 20's with 7 children by 5 different men. She'd hook up with new men while the other men were rotating through prison. She had been living on welfare for almost her entire life.
She had grown up on welfare - with 8 other brothers and sister. All of them had been incarcerated at one point or another. TWO of her brothers are on death row for gangland executions, as part of the Norte gang. When we met her her brother had been arrested for raping his younger niece - his 3rd strike.
I had grown up in the home of an IBM junior executive and had had piano lessons and riding lessons. I was dumbstruck by her lifestyle, and her continued poor choices that were very much enabled by welfare.
She lived in a one bedroom apartment with her 7 children and boyfriend. He was put in jail for domestic violence. When I took her shopping after she got her food stamps she put - I kid you not - 10 TEN t-bone stakes in the cart, and junk food like you couldn't image. Almost no fruits or vegetables. She said that's what the kids like to eat.
When she ran out of food stamps at the end of the month she would go to the food kitchens and get bags of donated food. This was during the time when Silicon Valley was booming, and they were importing workers and building factories.
Astounding.

I will never disavow my feminism.
Perhaps you might reconsider redefining/defining what you mean by "feminism". I recognize you applied an "f" instead of "F" does that mean that you differentiate yourself from the larger more public perception and those who speak for Feminism?
(I consider zealotry to be dangerous no matter the underlying truth of the position. Feminism is a danger to an equal, moral and stable society and it's proponents for the most part are anti-capitalist and misandrists in the extreme.)
Feminist's own words:
(these are just a few of the "spokes persons" for Feminism.
I did pick and choose those that were pithy but there were many, many others very similar available to quote.)
Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist / Communist government is the goal of Feminism.
Catharine A. MacKinnon , Toward a Feminist Theory of the
State (First Harvard University Press, 1989), p.10
"A world where men and women would be equal is easy to visualize, for that precisely is what the Soviet Revolution promised."
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex (New York, Random House, 1952), p.806
"The Women's Caucus [endorses] Marxist-Leninist thought."
Robin Morgan, Sisterhood is Powerful, p. 597
"How will the family unit be destroyed? ... the demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can fight collectively. Women will feel freer to leave their husbands and become economically independent, either through a job or welfare."
From Female Liberation by Roxanne Dunbar
Marx and Engels also spoke about the destruction of the family and marriage as one of the means to bring about the dissolution of capitalist society and many of their ideas of how to implement that destruction were done by Lenin in Russia and other Communist revolutionaries elsewhere.

I’d like to tell you about something in my neighborhood. There is a display at the big Barnes & Noble, at 66th and Broadway (Manhattan). Only it is not so much a display as a shrine. In any case, it is a window—the main window—and it is devoted to Obama. The window is religious in character, or at least worshipful.
It includes cardboard cutouts of Obama, and front pages hailing his election, and a video monitor. The monitor plays a loop of the Great Man in action, meeting the people, looking benevolent and leader-like. As we were walking past last night, a friend of mine took an iPhone picture: here. The picture does not do this display/shrine justice. You have to see it, to believe it and gag at it.

On feminism in general: I attended an event last night at an historic old townhouse in Manhattan. The manager told me that the building, now the Womens National Republican Club, formerly had been the headquarters for the national suffragette movement. American women were granted the vote by constitutional amendment in the early 1920s.
I met a French woman and a Spanish woman at the event. The French woman told me that French women finally were granted the right to vote in 1945, and the Spanish lady told me that in Spain it was 1931.
I think civic equality for women a good thing. My opinion is that there is a militant, left-wing, pseudo-feminist political movement abroad that is a subsidiary of the Democrat Party and the left. This movement attacks Republicans, conservatives, and people of faith for perceived affronts to women, while ignoring hideous abuses of women committed by men on the left, including, most obviously, Bill Clinton.
There's a famous scene in Forrest Gump where Jennie's leftist boyfriend, at a protest against the Vietnam War in Washington, slaps her viciously across the face in front of Forrest. He later apologizes: "Jennie, I'm sorry. It was that goddamned Lyndon Johnson!" This is the hypocrisy of the pseudo-feminist left.

These two woman are as different as apples and oranges.
There is a phenomenum called risk homeostasis that says when the appearance of the risk is decreased, people ratchet up their behavior to increase the risk back to the original level. Take anti-lock brakes, people drove faster and had more accidents because they felt that the anti-lock brakes would kick in.
Look at the concept of "safe sex" which isn't designed by nature to be "safe." Teach people that it can be, and now we have an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers who have been taught that it can be safe. They have increased their risky behavior.
After the agricultural era, large families were seen as a way into poverty. Obviously this woman has calculated the government support into her equation of how she is going to manage. Except that she has miscalculated the amount of physical, emotional and financial support a family of this size requires. The children will be emotionally neglected without an army of supporters.
No one else volunteered for this: not the taxpayers, not the grandmother, not the people called upon to deal with the crisis. It is a full blown crisis.

Abortion is not an officially restricted topic at LGF, but one should beware that various people have strong opinions one way or the other & the issue is never debated to a satisfactory resolution.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I see that Hoboken residents are up in arms and should have broken out the pitchforks over a property tax hike of 47% imposed by the state because the city couldn't get it's budget in and the state had to take it over.
I would have marched on Trenton and Hoboken City Hall. Trenton imposed the massive tax hike without considering cutting the budget; it simply imposed tax hikes. It was irresponsible on the part of the city and the state, but it's completely normal here in NJ.
And what do the tax hikes mean? For homes worth $250k (which for Hoboken are at the low end of the spectrum), it's an additional $600-$625 per quarter. In other words, Obama's tax relief wont even cover a quarter's worth of the additional property tax imposed in Hoboken by Trenton. Some tax relief.
Oh, and the higher taxes might push more people into foreclosure or bankruptcy because they can't afford the higher taxes on fixed incomes, even those folks who have paid off their mortgages. What a frakfest.

re: #764 lifeofthemind
Of course, the problem is that we end up preaching to the choir, we need, on so many issues, to get up, turn off the TV (or computer) and go do something. Get involved at the local level and do things. For two many years Conservatives felt that they "did something" by working and being tax paying citizens, leaving all the public square politics to the layabout left.
The majority of conservatives are involved in churches through which they learn ethics, and responsible nurturing behavior. Churches are the largest sponsors of the Boy Scouts which is one of the few remaining programs that has a systematic program of civilizing young men. Conservatives give more of their TIME and their money to charitable causes than liberals do.
There was a book recently written about the overwhelming statistical advantages that conservatives have in these areas.

This past election we had three women who wanted to be president---all from different political ideologies. Two got tore to shreds by the MSM. The sad part was much of the criticism was coming from other women. Since when did feminsim become judging another woman on her choice to keep a down syndrome child or have 5 children? Sarah Palin, you would think would be loved by feminists. There is Todd Palin feeding trig a bottle while she debates Joe Biden. Yet feminists attacked Sarah for her political beliefs. That is not feminism.

You are right. I think, just like the discussion that Afrocity and I were having about pro-choice, it is a matter of terminology. In both cases the leftists have hijacked the terms and they now stand for things that they never did before. It's all about perception. Another example is when people refer to themselves as Republican or Democrat. There is a perception of what that means and it gets laid onto anyone that uses those words to describe themselves. That is part of the reason I have always registered as an independent. I don't like being associated with things I don't agree with. I know a lot of people who call themselves Democrats, but when you start talking to them about the issues it becomes very clear that they do not agree with much of what that party stands for.

I am a GOP for a year now and forgive me but I was more center socially and center right financially. I was only DEM because of pro-choice stance, I felt I was a feminist and because most blacks were DEMS. I decided that was not enough to keep me there anymore. It is like going to a restaurant because I like one dish on the menu. I really grew tired with the left pushing issues in my face that I did not care about...Like gay marriage. I am not gay. Not my issue. Abortion I will never get one. Their voting base is devoted to "groups" black, pro choice, pro gay marriage...and it put these labels on us and discounts how we feel about spending money or how much gov involvement we want and foreign policy.

One of the best lessons that I ever had in school was a public speaking class. We held debates pretty much every day. The thing is, we were told which side of the issue to debate. So sometimes you ended up arguing for the opposite side from which from believe. This really gives you a great understanding of where the other side is coming from and allows you to formulate arguments without the emotional ties that often lead to hate filled clashes.

The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.— Pat Robertson
Oh come on. You know how it is when it comes to interpreting the words of a religious person. Only the stupid attempt to interpret them literally. Clever people know that these folks move in mysterious metaphorical ways, like God. In this case Pat Robertson is just using somewhat insane metaphors to express what is in the hearts of a great many normal
Americans. Some people unfortunately want to act like extreme leftists and condemn him and his (deceased) pal Jerry Falwell for this sort of thing with ugly, silly names like "American Taliban".

I think Obama is so tone deaf, which is why he made the clinger comments, and the arugala comment, that he has no idea the backlash he is fomenting. Now we have the stupid AG calling us cowards. When was the last time a government official called us all cowards.
Speaking of abusive government, in PA there is scandal because they want to use "leftover" transportation dollars from tolls to fund the
AVENGING THE ANCESTORS project which has to do with funding a historical site where George Washington landed with his slaves or something.
Big fight happening over that.
Looks like the funding went through yesterday
Delaware River Port Authority Fund Controversial Projects
The Delaware River Port Authority board voted yesterday to give $11 million to six controversial development projects in Camden and Philadelphia, including $3.5 million for a President's House memorial near Independence Hall.
After hearing from area residents who supported the projects and commuters who opposed spending bridge toll revenue on them, the board approved the plan with one dissenting vote.Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner was the only vote against. His representative on the board said Wagner favored the projects but disagreed with using toll revenue to pay for them.
In addition to funds for the President's House memorial at Sixth and Market Streets, $2.5 million was approved for a restaurant on Franklin Square and for the Lights of Liberty show, both in Philadelphia. In Camden, $1.5 million was approved for a proposed medical school, $1.5 million for infrastructure improvements along the Admiral Wilson Boulevard, and $2 million for demolition of an office building and nearby improvements.

re: #786 DistantThunder
Lucky you. I'm in Bergen County, and my 2009 taxes are about the same as last year (first year as homeowner). At least I got my refinance, which will be a real savings. I'm also curious how and why people think that Obama's housing plan will amount to real savings through renegotiating mortgages and reducing rates. That's possible through refinancing, and many can take out PMI to cover the shortfall between the mortgage balance and the current appraised value. That is no cost to anyone but the homeowner and the bank - no federal money necessary. Yet, Obama's plan would delay the market correction due to foreclosures, which makes homes and neighborhoods more affordable to those who have the money and credit to actually afford to buy homes.
It's a fool's errand Obama is embarking upon to save the real estate market by further distorting it after the government caused the problems in the first place by demanding banks lend to uncreditworthy people in the first place, along with the proliferation of no money down, low down payment programs that mean people do not have a stake in their own homes.

"Equal under the law" is feminism's most potent idea. See Iran -- the change coming there has everything to do with achieving legal goals. Once feminists achieve those goals, they should work to protect those goals by entering public life, the workforce, etc. Pursuing all feminist fringe interests only succeeds in creating suspicion and derision, which can jeopardize the whole movement.

The concern now is not the gross size of countries' economies, but how money moves between countries, and the way those movements can turn into a kind of financial warfare. Take China and the United States. The Chinese now hold about $1 trillion worth of U.S. debt, including Treasury notes and other securities. That gives them enormous power over the U.S. economy. Were they to suddenly sell those securities, the U.S. dollar would tank.

I have a difficult time labeling myself in the abortion debate as well. Personally, I'm pro-life, but legally, politically- I think we need to find other solutions besides calling for a ban. I support reasonable restrictions like with minors, and exceptions should be allowed, but.... I can't support a Constitutional Amendment to deal with this problem. Now my right-wing friends are sneering at me that I'm pro-choice just because I think there's a better solution.
Well put. And personally I am against Constitutional Amendments in general. They are often used as a way to get what should be a law, not an amendment, passed while permanently ending the debate. Our Constitution and the Bill Of Rights is intended to be a guideline for the creation of a government and for creating laws, not a list of laws itself.

ERA ammendment
While claiming to benefit women, the ERA would actually have taken away some of women's rights. We based our arguments on the writings of pro-ERA law professors, among them current Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The amendment would require women to be drafted into military combat any time men were conscripted, abolish the presumption that the husband should support his wife and take away Social Security benefits for wives and widows. It would also give federal courts and the federal government enormous new powers to reinterpret every law that makes a distinction based on gender, such as those related to marriage, divorce and alimony.

The confirmation contradicts a stream of previous denials from officials and comes after the Times of London published a Google Earth image apparently showing three U.S. drones at the Shamsi airbase in Pakistan's southwestern province of Baluchistan as early as 2006.
[Link: www.foxnews.com...]
Thanks Dianne!
It's 2 years old, and the image isn't available anymore, but when you've got a fat-lipped US Senator confirming it, and photos like this, it's going to be a helluva lot harder for Zardari to keep pretending to look the other way.

re: #884 Ford_Prefect
Well put. And personally I am against Constitutional Amendments in general. They are often used as a way to get what should be a law, not an amendment, passed while permanently ending the debate. Our Constitution and the Bill Of Rights is intended to be a guideline for the creation of a government and for creating laws, not a list of laws itself.
I'd have to disagree on some of your points. Often suggests frequently. In the past 38 years, only 2 amendments have passed.
The purpose of the amendments is to LIMIT government. The Bill of Rights, even though originally not wanted to be included in the constitution by the Founders, simply reinforced our God given rights as Americans. It did not grant us rights, we already had them.

The euro suffers from certain structural deficiencies; it has a central bank but it does not have a central treasury and the supervision of the banking system is left to national authorities. These defects are increasingly making their influence felt, aggravating the financial crisis.
The Soros solution, of course, is to create a central European treasury with centralized supervision. Why? Because it's easier to control.

The problem is that if the Bill of Rights doesn't expressly forbid it (and in some cases, even then), the Democrats believe there ought to be laws so ornerous that whatever behavior isn't forbidden is mandatory. This has been the goal of the left since the late 1780s-1790s.
I don't see it changing as long as the Duke of Url is President.
Then we fight them at every attempt to pass laws that we disagree with, we do not change the core principals that this country was founded on in order to protect it. That road leads to fascism.

No, men don't. They may seem to have it, but they didn't until feminism came to be. Why do you think Men only go drafted during Vienam (and yes Women could enlist but couldn't be forced into involuntary servitude). It was and has pretty much always been government's position that it is MEN who are responsible for supporting women economically. Hell Divorce Courts in most States still feel the same way.
And no, this has nothing to do with domestic violence - when Men start it or are the violent offenders, it's not because they are men, it's because they are at the least, sociopaths. When men are the victims of Domestic Abuse they are usually afraid to report it.
Feminism - for all it's faults subsequent to it's inception in the 1970 version anyway, liberated Men as well as Women.

Oh shit. I remember that broadcast. I was ashamed, appalled and horrified. I did not know anybody who was murdered on 9-11, although 24 Canadians were among the dead. That did not seem to matter to the American hating leftists.
There has long been a sort of light anti-Americanism in Canada, broad but not very deep. There is also a hard-core of deep nationalist leftist haters. Not surprisingly, these leftists are not at all pro-Canadian patriots. Their identity is based only upon what they hate. Also not surprising, they adore Obama. At least for now.

And the fact is if the Chinese did sell all those securities they'd be getting paid back in dollars that are worth far less than the dollars they used to buy those securities.
And they'd lost their most valuable export "partner" in the process. Who the hell but the US would buy so much in the way of Chinese goods?

Not exactly, but close:
Dirty diamonds: What do Jesse Jackson, Pat Robertson, and Al Qaeda have in common?
The answer is: They all have been associated with the bloody Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.Pat Robertson's tie to Charles Taylor is based on a financial connection. In 1999 Robertson's Freedom Gold company signed a deal to mine an area in southeastern Liberia. The Liberian government, i.e., Taylor, has a 10 percent interest in Freedom Gold. "I pray that this investment may become a wonderful blessing to the people of Liberia," Robertson said in a press release. More likely the government's 10 percent share will go to maintain Taylor's of the Sierra Leone diamond trade–and its big customer, Al Qaeda. Colbert King of the Washington Post has written two columns criticizing Robertson for associating with the likes of Taylor.

here's something about Pat Robertson and his African diamond mind scam. The man is evil & a fraud.
I remember watching this one televangelist who was doing his,(paraphrasing) "Please send your donations," spiel. He claimed it was for his 'healthcare and medical bills'..."I took all your letters and laid them out before me on a desk. I cried to the Lord to heal your ailments. While laying prostrate over the letters in prayer and during that process the ink from your letters...steeped into my body...making me sick... so please... won't you send your donations now?"
So loads of people send him money, he pays off his huge house...goes on vacation to the Caribbean...unbelievable. He's HEALED! It's a MIRACLE!

Hey DT! You said of the Equal Rights Amendment, in part, "
The amendment would require women to be drafted into military combat any time men were conscripted, abolish the presumption that the husband should support his wife and take away Social Security benefits for wives and widows. It would also give federal courts and the federal government enormous new powers to reinterpret every law that makes a distinction based on gender, such as those related to marriage, divorce and alimony.
And I know I'm just a knuckle dragging, heterosexual white man, but what's wrong with the quoted material? If women are to have the same RIGHTS as men, why shouldn't they have the same OBLGIATIONS as men?

From the link provided above (for those who don't click on links):
Rally organizers were moved to organize Sunday’s protest by global inattention to the current emergency in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, where the Taliban have now driven one-third of the region’s 1.7 million people from their homes and their lands. Roughly 300 schools have been destroyed, hundreds of teachers and secular leaders have been beheaded and butchered, and more than 100,000 girls have been driven from their studies.

Marxism's main failure is that while nominally being about 'fairness', it completely ignores what motivates people to action or inaction. It removes incentives to produce while providing incentives to depend on government which, in turn, relies on the people dependent upon it. A downward spiral ensues.

re: #1143 Guanxi88
Thanks, and you're absolutely right about that. Big disparities in currency values are bad for everyone. The best condition for everyone, though I'm not an economist, is to have a reasonable number currencies of roughly equal value in similar but not centralized banking systems. That way, goods and services (and securities) can flow easily in both directions, and banking systems are not so centralized that failures become widespread catastrophes.
Education is the key to all this. If nation-states can continue to educate their citizens and free them to invent things and take risks, then we'll have a teeming little global economy with lots of economic "biodiversity." If the world continues toward an economic monoculture, with centralized control and a**holes like Soros calling the shots, we are all in very serious trouble.

OUCH.
I don't think my becoming a Commie was out of a contrary nature. I'd never really thought about politics and economics before then.

re: #1155 jaunte
I'm curious about how we can ease our way out of the codependency with China.
Short answer - not likely.
Longer answer: The Chinese national economy, in its current form, is utterly dependent on being able to exports goods for foreign currency. Infrastructure projects and other contributions to the welfare and well-being of the Chinese people are heavily dependent on these export industries. China has a substantial middle-class, true, but their wealth is still mostly derived from the export industries and servicing them. China imports dollars and exports goods - think of it as respiration.
Our consumer economy is in large measure maintained by the cheap goods from China; if these goods had to be produced domestically, their prices would be so very high as to make them unaffordable to the masses, but it is true that domestic manufacturing would benefit. Still, the domestic dollars aren't there to support a domestic industrial base for the goods we get from the Chinese and elsewhere; our dollars go farther when they go abroad. (BTW, China is beginning to import lower-end consumer goods from Vietnam, etc.; highly-skilled Chinese labor is getting expensive these days.)
I don't know if there is a way to dissolve these trade ties - it would hurt both sides far too much, and the rewards for doing so seem uncertain.

Exactly. The way they, make the buck, is by finding something that people want. That usually is something that has a 'positive' impact on the customer's life in some way...or else they wouldn't buy it.
Hence that attack on capitalism. People can live easier lives or be happier...can't have that.
Exactly. Profit, AKA: Providing people with a product or service the want; is a bad thing in the governments eyes because it has fulfilled a need without need for them. every satisfied customer is a double blow to government's power.

re: #1176 godfrey
Thanks, and you're absolutely right about that. Big disparities in currency values are bad for everyone. The best condition for everyone, though I'm not an economist, is to have a reasonable number currencies of roughly equal value in similar but not centralized banking systems. That way, goods and services (and securities) can flow easily in both directions, and banking systems are not so centralized that failures become widespread catastrophes.
Education is the key to all this. If nation-states can continue to educate their citizens and free them to invent things and take risks, then we'll have a teeming little global economy with lots of economic "biodiversity." If the world continues toward an economic monoculture, with centralized control and a**holes like Soros calling the shots, we are all in very serious trouble.
Yeah, what you said!

re: #1151 Ojoe
Let me keep this simple. It's our debt the Chinese hold. A lot of it is for the war in Iraq. The Chinese are extremely pissed that Wall Street sold them crap in the form of toxic paper. Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson personally opened up the Goldman office in China. Goldman sold the Chinese a lot of the crap. For the Chinese, who trusted Paulson and many others on Wall Street, this is personal.
So Wall Street has destroyed its credibility with the Chinese. That means they won't buy our paper anymore. That means there's no one willing to finance our insanity, except for a very high price in political independence, among other things. And that's why the only way the Democrats can pay for the stimulus is through inflation and printing money. Personally, I'd invest in some nice real estate and commodities while they're cheap, and there's still time.

He asks, "How many of you have sex more than twice a week?"
Hands go up.
He asks, "Okay, how many of you have sex more than twice a month?"
Other hands go up.
He notices an older man in the back of the class who hasn't raised his hand, so he continues on with "Once a month", "Once every two months"...
Still nothing.
Exasperated the professor says, "Okay, how many of you have sex just once a year?"
The older man jumps up, waves his hand in the air and does a little dance.

I think it was Baroness Thatcher who illustrated that the Chinese are natural capitalists with her story of Mao's attempt to avert plague in Shanghai back in the bad old days.
So they put a bounty on rats in the city. Folks dutifully set traps, etc., and slay the little vermin by the thousands, to collect the bounty. Soon, there are folks whose skill and effort are helping them bring in dead rats by the tens of thousands. Heroes of the people, dutiful comrades?
Nope. They were rat-farming for the profit. Had warehouses full of rats, breeding, feeding, and drowning them to collect the bounty. Now, if they can make hard money in a Commie-run city, under conditions of plague, and can have Mao to thank them for their efforts (till he got wise), how can anybody doubt their capitalist cred?

In the end the police gave him his sign back and the Secret Service said he was not a threat, but what does this really tell us? The man had to obtain a lawyer, then spend 30 minutes being interviewed by the Secret Service after giving them a tour of his home and proving he was not part of any "hate" group.
Well, I can see how they could take it as a threat and needed to investigate it. You just can't in any way call for the assassination of the president of the US, even if he is a scumbag socialist ruining the economy and security of the country.

Here is the criteria:
(1) false facts [including "simple falsehoods, exaggerated statements, or decontextualized facts [that] rendered the statements misleading"],
(2) flawed argumentation,
(3) divisive language, and
4) dehumanizing metaphors (table 1).
Table 1 was not attached--at least not that I could see. But, this is a set of criteria which is broad enough to encompass more than 90% of what we talk about here.

This thread is way over due for some good puns.
Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her, too. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop. Terrified, the friars did so.
Thereby proving - Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

On a certain small island in the South Pacific, the one who has the throne in his possession is King. So, the King takes the throne home with him each night. His grass hut has a tree growing up through the center. Each night he puts the throne on top of the tree, so no one can steal it. One night, there's a terrible storm and the throne is sent crashing through the hut, killing the King.
Which just shows that people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

Worst date was a gal who wanted to vent about George Bush the whole time. Fortunately, she ate like a terrified supermodel.
Worst date was with a bipolar-schizophrenic...I didn't know.
Blind date...never met the person ever...half way through, "Do you remember when we were at my Grandpa's." Got this misty eyed look as if daydreaming...then started singing a song in the restaraunt, "Silvery Moooon..." way to loud and uncomfortable for me...
Only date I ended early. Had to. Way spooky.

Well, I can see how they could take it as a threat and needed to investigate it. You just can't in any way call for the assassination of the president of the US, even if he is a scumbag socialist ruining the economy and security of the country.
I just hope that it will still be possible to vote against him in the next election.
The man wasn't calling for an assisnation. One of the definitions of abort is "to put down or quell in the early stages". You can remove a president without assassinating him.

In all seriousness, it's not right to call for any president to be killed. In a democracy, we have choices, and a logical, orderly process. That beats anarchy anyday.

MSM artists jump the Sharpton. They seem to have their nether garments in a serious twist over "chimp" cartoon in the NY Post.
Now, it was a stupid cartoon, and badly drawn. But as many people have pointed out here, it was hardly referring to Obama--he did not, after all, write the "stimulus" bill--but was rather, it seems, aimed at the notion that the bill does seem to have been written by a monkey. Hardly the exercise in racism that the artists are righteously decrying.
And none of them seems to remember that it is they, among others, who--with their past 8 years of "Chimpy"--that have established the tradition of referring to the Chief Executive as an anthropoid. If the election of Obama proves--as was promised--that we have moved "past race," then if the cartoon is taken to refer to the current President, fairness, balance, and the spirit of equality mandate that he, too, get his chance to be compared to a simian.

Stage One - You're a kid. All you have to park is your butt.
Stage Two - You're a teenager and you park with a girl who has a good chance of being your future wife.
Stage Three - You're married with kids and are parking a mini-van at McDonald's.
Stage Four - The kids are grown and working at McDonald's, you've got a sports car and are caught parking with a girl who has no chance of being your future wife.
Stage Five - You're parking in the garage for a while, where you're also living.
Stage Six - You're old, no car no license no parking spot.
Stage Seven - You're parked. Permanently. In your own space. Even has your name over it.

O'Brien was looking down at him speculatively. More than ever he had the air of a teacher taking pains with a wayward but promising child.
'There is a Party slogan dealing with the control of the past,' he said. 'Repeat it, if you please.'
"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," repeated Winston obediently.
"Who controls the present controls the past," said O'Brien, nodding his head with slow approval. 'Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?'
Again the feeling of helplessness descended upon Winston. His eyes flitted towards the dial. He not only did not know whether 'yes' or 'no' was the answer that would save him from pain; he did not even know which answer he believed to be the true one.
O'Brien smiled faintly. 'You are no metaphysician, Winston,' he said. 'Until this moment you had never considered what is meant by existence. I will put it more precisely. Does the past exist concretely, in space? Is there somewhere or other a place, a world of solid objects, where the past is still happening?'
'No.'
'Then where does the past exist, if at all?'

As I said there, "Hmmm. You're the one who's fact-challenged, Ralph. The persons who wrote the "stimulus" bill which was a huge payoff to your labor union allies were Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, both persons of pallor.
I agree that the cartoon drawing an analogy between Pelosi, Reid, and a chimpanzee in Connecticut who went "ape" is an insult-- to the deceased chimpanzee!
As for President Obama's fronting the bill, everyone knows he didn't write it. You are adding insult to our intelligences to this huge injury to our wallets inflicted upon the taxpayers by the "stimulus"."

OTOH, I did see a very pretty girl on the subway today - fairly nerdy-looking with a "Jewish" nose (bigger than mine, which is quite non-"Jewish" (Jewish girls have actually refused to believe I am because I don't look it), but great skin and awesome lips -- naturally full, not like those botox girls.

Not if we all send in sealed boxes of lipton or red rose. Wouldn't that make a statement? millions of boxes of tea. It needs to be done here in Massachusetts again, too. They have gone off the rails in the last 3 months here. tax proposals coming fast and furious. I love my home, but, we aren't gonna stay here for much more of this, the proposals coming out of Boston's state house are theft, pure and simple. they are proposing another 0.50 cent gas tax hike, which will make it the highest gas tax in the nation, putting a chip in inspection stickers, and charging us 1/4 cent for each mile traveled, raising meals tax, raising tolls in Boston to $7 each way on the turnpike, and airport tunnels, $11 for commercial vehicles. Doubling or tripling registration fees for suv's and larger vehicles (anything that is not a prius, my guess). We have a billion dollar budget gap, we are being drowned by state pensions with lots of double and triple dippers, and the 2 bil in "Stimulus" we are supposed to be getting, the Idiot gov is going to give to all the schools so they can cover the contracted pay raises. It will not go to cover the gap and eliminate the tax hikes. It is complete bullshit, and I have had it. ( this is not all of it, but I am mad and forgetting a bunch of things)

a full grown male chimp can be a vicious brutal animal.
200 lbs and canine teeth 1 1/2 long. when they are young, they are cute and cuddly. they just don't make good pets because they grow up.
now the other side of chimps is being revealed on nature shows. they form marauding groups and go into neighboring territory and attack their rivals, trying to steal juveniles to eat. yes eat. and they brutally bash the victims head open on a rock and take turns feasting, as they alternate eating leaves (salad) w/ their rare
steak.
it is interesting that they don't fight over the carcass. this is cannibalism and they do seem to exhibit some kind of sulking guilty behavior as they eat one of their own.
the woman who owned the thing had a time bomb on her hands.
these creatures belong in a secure enclosure or in the jungle.

re: #1494 FrogMarch
Something else to keep in mind - the foreclosures and housing problems affect less than 10% of all housing in the country. We're supposed to bankrupt ourselves to save 10% which acted impetuously and stupidly by buying homes they couldn't afford and lenders who went along with the charade of easy lending to people who couldn't repay.
Right. There's a reason that people are starting to get pissed off at the bailouts - because they recognize that Obama's well on his way to removing the risk from transactions - risk that keeps people from doing stupid things in many cases, but also which reduces the likelihood of bubbles.
It also doesn't address the fact that foreclosures aren't always a bad thing. They mean that prices come down and become more affordable to those who can afford to buy. That's a good thing.
Where someone should get relief is when the government is fully responsible for the foreclosure - as when taxes are hiked 47% like in Hoboken, and the people on fixed incomes run the risk of losing their homes because government is forcing them out of their homes.

Obama has stated that the foreclosure plan will not be rewarding the fraudsters (that is, the plan won't be giving monies to either the predatory loan people, or the people who deliberately took out loans way beyond their means)...but this is just Obama's claims (his words)...and until the actual details are released which will specify who's eligible for the deal and who's not eligible, no one really knows at this point in time how the "fraudsters" will be weeded out...and, that's (imo) the biggest problem -- weeding out the fraudsters.

Obama said in his speech that one of his goals is to prop up current house prices -- that is, to maintain the high cost/price of houses...it's to keep the house prices high (not to let the housing prices decline because of foreclosures) -- that is Obama's stated goal.
Thanks, I do recall that now that you mention it. Taking a page from FDR's strategy on agricultural prices in the 30's I guess.

Hi all,
I posted a comment on Pharyngula about Hitchens just now. A lot of people on the right and left are saying it was vandalism etc...I disagreed strongly. I'm reposting it here to make my point. I really should repost it on Hotair as well, but I think it will fall on deaf ears.
I agree with a lot of Chris's politics, including the war and atheism. =) Makes me a rare bird, I know...
For the people who were saying it was vandalism - you're not the only ones saying it. People on the right are saying it too.
And I wholly disagree. It isn't vandalism. It isn't even close.
People all over have been comparing it to defacing a political poster in this country. Such is not the case. We are not talking about a political organization who is legitimately seeking change via public discourse. We are talking about a bunch of Nazi thugs who actually kill people on a regular basis - in cold blood and on the streets.
Defacing that poster was no different than, say, defacing a Nazi poster in Berlin 1930. It isn't vandalism, it is resistance. It is fighting back against the scum of humanity who want no public discourse.
People in the West have become far too insulated and comfortable in their own agreeable way of doing politics. Sometimes people will scream Nazi and deface posters here, but they don't know what real Nazis are like. Nazis here, by and large, shut up and know their place. A few get out of line and they go to jail, and many of their leaders end up there as well. In Lebanon, this is a wholly different matter.
I applaud Hitchens for what he did. His was an act of resistance, not of vandalism. The restrictions of what should not be done here in a safe and democratic country may not apply in another place where the system is nowhere near what we experience.
Ace blogged about it because he was there right after the fact and interviewed people and said it wasn't like most people had read about, by the way. As for Hitch, he's just awesome. He puts his money where his mouth is, and he gives lie to the adage that Atheists have no morals or firm beliefs. I couldn't be more proud of what he did, and I wish more people did the same.

Can we just stop paying our mortgages right now, and fill out some form so that the government will pay them? Would we have to declare bankruptcy and damage our credit ratings? Or can we just declare ourselves "economically stimulated," without any stigma associated, and go out and buy a nice new plasma TV for the good of the economy?

Well since jimmah downdinged me for that comment, I reckon he disagrees with you.
And I did read that as saying that Pat Robertson was an "American Taliban" - sorry if I missed posts yesterday about this whole topic.
But I will say, for the record that what several people have done here is jump on this newbie constantly and in every posts he makes, even when he's simply trying to explain himself, or they resort to that old schoolyard trick of calling him names.
That's called piling on when it's post after post after post.
And frankly I think LGF is too good a blog for that kind of shit to continue. Charles has built the best blog in the bloghsphere and I don't really think he wanted it to become the biggest sandbox in the school yard.
Point taken. It just seemed out of order for Paleo to jump on jimmah right out of the gate like that. I do agree that pile-ons are nasty and should generally be avoided. That said, Paleo earned it when he twisted Walter and Mandy's words as he did.

According to what Roger Schlesinger (the Mortgage Minute Guy) was saying on Hugh Hewitt's show yesterday, the program is open to anyone with a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage. So, basically anyone with a "conforming" loan (under $417k) is eligible to have their mortgage re-done and their rate lowered, even if they're not in trouble. I may get in on that deal.

I do notice that the women who are really complaining about dating in their 30's and 40's are the ones who in their 20's were so hot they could have any guy they wanted and always chose the studs even though they knew they were assholes. Now they realize the guys they'd like to settle down with won't have anything to do with them because when their youthful beauty went downhill (it happens), their personalities remained the same. How do you convey to a hot chick - listen sweetie, you're not going to be beautiful forever so you should start looking for the right guy pretty soon?

Rush is launching today with reports that people and groups of people all over are showing their displeasure to the StealFromUs(credit- Walton and Johnson) package and he is presenting it as the beginnings of a revolt of US citizens looking to claim their country back.
As a vet, i am moved by mere reports this may actually start happening. i know of so many that gave their all for this country, it's very moving that the citizens are not willing to let the US go down to socialism without a fight.
If you're not mad, just take a look at what the govt takes from you every week: [Link: www.paycheckcity.com...]
I hope the citizens develop some gazzelle like intensity for 2 years; there's no reason for the US to not be top dog on this planet; and that's better for everyone else on this planet, IMHO.

The al Qaeda nukes thing is complete bullshit. The Jamaat ul-Fuqra story is much more convincing but the source (a homophobic rabid Christian creationist) is just too nutty to believe.
We'll be able to tell when Al-Qaeda get nukes by the sudden appearance of all the new mushroom clouds. I hate to be a downer, but if they get them they'll use them. The cold war philosophy of mutually assured destruction is of no concern to them.

Well, it will take them a while to get the nukes in position. My guess is they already have plans on how to use them.
I just wonder how long before Pakistan gives them some.
We thought that nuclear war would be between the West and the USSR.
Looks like it could be worldwide - India vs Pakistan, Israel vs Iran and Syria, and who knows what else.

re: #1595 realwest
Well since jimmah downdinged me for that comment, I reckon he disagrees with you.
I downdinged you because you didn't reverse the downding on the initial post after learning that it was indeed intended as sarcasm, despite having been invited to do so a good while earlier. However I see from your next post that you have now done this, so I've reversed my downding as well.
And I did read that as saying that Pat Robertson was an "American Taliban" - sorry if I missed posts yesterday about this whole topic.
Yes I was indeed saying that regarding Robertson, Falwell and the Phelps family. I know the term is not an exact match, but when using a derogatory epithet like that it doesn't have to be; there are enough fundamental similarities to warrant it's use. These folks who would blame America for acts like 9/11 need to be shamed, not protected.

re: #1480 Kosh's Shadow
Watch the original.
Klaatu barada nicto.
Ok now that I've watched the movie I can comment. The original is one of my favourite old sci-fi movies; Klaatu Reeves wasn't too bad in the role of the alien ambassador, and the effects were of a reasonable standard. Just don't think to hard about the consequences of the 'world saving change' that is made at the end of the movie - switching off all the machines and technology on the planet suddenly and permanently. It speaks to the fundamentally anti-science, anti-technology prejudice that many people have, that a movie which basically has an alien come to earth to plunge us back into the dark ages would be popular, and that such an outcome could be read as a 'happy ending'.
But if you can switch your brain to the off position, it is a reasonably watchable film.

But I will say, for the record that what several people have done here is jump on this newbie constantly and in every posts he makes, even when he's simply trying to explain himself, or they resort to that old schoolyard trick of calling him names.
That's called piling on when it's post after post after post.
He made no effort to explain himself to me. I asked him to produce evidence to back up his repeated claims against myself but he did not respond. Pile-ons against newbie posters for merely expressing an unpopular opinion are one thing, and many times I have gone out on a limb to defend such a person, but this was another thing altogether - this was just someone being a jerk, and he deserved what he got.

What is illegal is 'identity theft'
Marvin Hoffman is listed in campaign finance records as one of the many lobbyists with the powerful PMA Group donating money to lawmakers. But Hoffman is a soon-to-retire information technology manager in Marina del Rey, Calif., who has never heard of the Arlington lobbying firm or the Indiana congressman to whom he supposedly gave $2,000.
"It's alarming that someone is stealing my identity somewhere," Hoffman, 75, said in an interview. "I've never heard of this company."
This obviously would be illegal for PMA Group to do, but what isn't know yet, is whether any of the targets of PMA Group knew this was going on.
