Tea partiers, did you hear that far-off rumbling this week? If you didn't, here's the forecast for 2014: a thunderstorm is coming that is going to blow your unpopular "movement" away.
Right-minded Americans are tired of the goofy guys in tricorn hats and their racist anti-Obama placards. You want some proof?
In Alabama's severely conservative First Congressional District, the Republican establishment's candidate Bradley Byrne knocked off tea party darling Dean Young.
In New Jersey, Republican Gov. Chris Christie won re-election in a landslide attracting the votes of moderate Democrats, blacks and Hispanics.
In Virginia, Clinton insider Terry McAuliffe beat out the tea party's Ken Cuccinelli for governor.
In New York City's mayoral race, Democrat Bill de Blasio destroyed his Republican opponent.
It was mostly the same in smaller off-year races across the country. The tea party insurgency, to the extent there ever was one, was soundly beaten back. Voters chose pragmatism over nihilism. They want government to work, not shut down because a few whacko birds didn't get what they wanted in the 2012 election cycle.
It was a stinging rebuke of extremists Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey, Tom Price and their far right media enablers, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.
Now the establishment Republican Party, funded by the big money corporate interests who have a major stake in a functioning government and economy, has finally risen up.
As reported in the New York Times Nov. 7, "The party leaders pushing for changes want to replace state caucuses and conventions, like the one that nominated Mr. Cuccinelli, with a more open primary system that they believe will draw a broader cross-section of Republicans and produce more moderate candidates."
With the holiday season upon us, the GOP reminds me of the film comedy, "Christmas Vacation," in which Clark Griswold's slovenly backwoods cousin Eddie shows up on Clark's doorstep a few days before Christmas. After welcoming him, Clark quickly discovers he can't get rid of Eddie and his inbred clan.
Like Eddie, the tea party has metaphorically dumped its RV's sewage onto the GOP's front lawn. Republicans who enthusiastically embraced their tea party cousins now sorely wish they hadn't.
This is all good news for Democratic and moderate Republican candidates in 2014.
The Obama administration's unforced errors on the Affordable Care Act roll out have provided the president's critics with plenty of ammo.
As usual, however, they're firing blanks.
First, remember that all of this gleeful chest thumping is coming from the same people on Fox News and Capitol Hill who had no interest in knowing why George W. Bush let 4,500 Americans die in Iraq looking for non-existent WMD.
They're simply outraged that Obama could let the roll out flounder, but when it comes to a 10-year, $1 trillion war we didn't need to fight, not so much.
The right wing propaganda machine in in high gear, churning out one anti-Obamacare lie or distortion after the other. Another MDJ columnist wrote this:
"Florida's largest carrier, Florida Blue, is terminating about 300,000 policies comprising 80 percent of its individual policies, reports Kaiser Health News (not associated with the insurance company)."
This is only half-true, but reading it and adding it to all the other lies and misinformation you've heard, you would be understandably inclined to believe this is more evidence of failure.
However, Patrick Geraghty, the CEO of Florida Blue, appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to explain that the 300,000 who had been contacted by the company...were not being cut: "What we've been doing is informing folks that their plan doesn't meet the test of the essential health benefits; therefore, they have a choice of many options that we make available through the exchange. And, in fact, with subsidy, many people will be getting better plans at a lesser cost."
Did you hear that: Better plans, lesser cost.
This is just one of many examples of how the conservative media latch on to some bit of information, true or not, distort it, then present it as fact without bothering to give the reader or viewer the full story.
Here's another from Dr. Ben Carson: Obamacare is "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."
A program that aims to provide health insurance so 30 million uninsured Americans can get preventative and critical care is, ready, as immoral and horrific as holding human beings in servitude; brutally torturing those human beings; killing those human beings; tearing apart the families of those human beings; destroying the souls of those human beings.
This from an allegedly educated man.
Far right media are saying Obamacare web site cost $638 million. The number came from an article in Digital Trends, but the it's wrong, not that conservative talking heads like Sean Hannity would bother to get the story right.
"Who pays $634 million and has three years and screws it up that bad?" Hannity demanded to know.
"A conservative figure would be $70 million. A more modest figure would be $125 million to $150 million," wrote the Washington Post's Fact Checker describing the actual cost of the web site.
Then there is Betsy McCaughey, a frequent Fox News guest, who said Obamacare will vastly expand Medicaid and "pay for it by eviscerating Medicare, taking $700 billion out of Medicare and moving it over to fund this expansion of this entitlement. It's like robbing Grandma to spread the wealth."
Obamacare cuts no Medicare benefits. That's a lie and McCaughey and Fox know it's a lie.The facts don't support the Obama-Obamacare haters so they just make stuff up. The facts are these:
The Obamacare web site wasn't ready for launch Oct. 1. It is being fixed.
After it is fixed around November 30, if you have no health insurance, you'll be able to buy a policy that fits your needs and your budget even if you have a pre-existing condition.
If you have an individual policy and it is cancelled its because it doesn't comply with new standards so you'll get a better policy than the one you had, perhaps for less money.
If, like most Americans, you are covered by a group plan at work, nothing changes.
Those war dead belong to we conservatives! You progressives stay away from them!
That's the message from my local right wing critics. They read my two recent columns about Private David Parman, the late soldier from Missouri whose grave I visited last month in Luxembourg. He died during the Battle of the Bulge, just weeks before World War II ended.
I symbolically apologized to Private Parman for the chaos and dysfunction wrought by tea partiers in the House and Senate that brought the country to a stand still for nearly three weeks. I posited that Pvt. Parman died for a higher ideal, not the "look at me!" antics of Sen. Raphael Cruz and his nihilist nabob buddies, and certainly not for that sociopath, Sarah Palin.
The critics think they own patriotism. They believe you can't be patriotic if you don't agree with their narrow world view. It's not possible to honor America if you're a progressive like me, because we want to see the greater good served, not just what's good for millionaires and billionaires.
What my critics reveal about themselves is hypocrisy akin to Cruz's and Pailn's. They no doubt partake in "socialist" programs like Medicare and Social Security and if they don't today, they will soon. They may also have received unemployment benefits, or veterans benefits, or disability benefits, all of which could fall under their definition of "socialism" (as if they even understand the term). Yet they roundly condemn "government largesse" as "statist."
In fact, their comments could be lifted from any Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity rant. They remind me of the brainwashed soldiers in the "Manchurian Candidate" when they hear the name Raymond Shaw. Conservatives tick off by rote all the jive they've heard from conservative media types when they hear words like Obama or progressivism.
Their 18th century tea party notion of "small government" doesn't work in a 21st century country where 350 million people live in a highly complex socio-economic strata that promises to become even more complex in the decades ahead.
It is that complexity, in fact, with which these poor souls struggle. They desperately want things to be simpler, easier to understand, reduced to black and white. They pine for the days of Andy Griffith and Mayberry - a North Carolina town that had no blacks, by the way.
They get all that from Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, and the rest, who are successful because they appeal to and affirm the audience's fear, ignorance and, yes, prejudice.
Patriotism isn't the private property of right wingers. It's a quality all Americans of good will share. Because I disagree with what you believe doesn't mean I'm unpatriotic.
So get over yourselves, conservatives. As I told one reader, I looked, and on none of the crosses or Stars of David in Luxembourg could I find the words "conservative" or "liberal."
They were just Americans who died defending all of us.
Laura Armstrong, an erstwhile MDJ columnist, wrote a piece last Sunday in which she blamed President Obama for the tea party shut down of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. The memorial made news last week when a group of veterans entered the grounds despite the closure.
I wouldn't react except Armstrong called me out by name in the on-line comments beneath her column. It would appear her thoughts were in response to my Friday column in which I symbolically apologized to Army Private David Parman for the tea party inspired anarchy gripping Washington.
I happened to visit Pvt. Parman's grave during a recent visit to Luxembourg and began thinking about what it was he died for during the Battle of the Bulge.
Certainly he didn't give his life for Ted Cruz's or Sarah Palin's vision of what America should be, a nation by and for the one percenters.
Speaking of those two nihilist whacko birds, they predictably showed up at a faux "rally of support for veterans" at the World War Two Memorial this past weekend that was actually what we call in the PR biz a photo opportunity.
This being the tea party, their phony shindig devolved into a racially-tinged march on the White House to demand Obama's impeachment.
That Cruz could show up with his tea party posse at the memorial is the height of hypocrisy since it was Cruz who demanded and got the memorial and most everything else in Washington shut down.
In fact, if Cruz and Palin had their way, there would be no World War Two Memorial. Nor would there be any memorials in Washington. Nor would there be an Arlington National Cemetery. Nor would there be any veterans benefits.
Cruz, Palin and their benefactors, the billionaire Koch brothers, just want the soldiers, sailors and airmen to serve as the cannon fodder in bogus wars that benefit nobody but the defense industry and its meat puppets on Capitol Hill. Then those vets need to just go away as far as Cruz and the rest are concerned.
But when they can corral a bunch of vets wearing medals and service caps, watch out if you're standing between Cruz and a Fox News camera! You see, Cruz needs to use them as props during his exploitative tea party rallies so he can advance his political career by impressing folks like Armstrong.
It would all be laughable if it wasn't so totally and tragically cynical.
I am very disappointed in my fellow MDJ columnist Roger Hines. I usually disagree with his opinions, but his arguments are generally thoughtful and well presented.
His Sunday column condemning the gay pride celebration at Kennesaw State University, however, is beyond the pale. I don't think he's a bigot, but his vicious words last Sunday dismissing the LGBT community as something subhuman were outrageous.
This isn't the first time Hines has expressed his animus toward the LGBT community. I'm beginning to wonder if he has some sort of unhealthy obsession about what two consenting adults might be doing in private behind their bedroom door.
I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find similar opinions in Southern newspapers 60 years ago – just cross out the Hines' references to LGBT and replace them with "Negro" or "Jew" or "Chinaman." Thankfully we outgrew those prejudices, or at least I hope we have.
Hines got one thing right: KSU is a public institution supported by tax payers. That includes Georgians who are lesbians, gay, bi-sexual and transgender.
Hines says Atlanta isn't like San Francisco. Has he ever been to Atlanta? If he had, he would know the city, like San Francisco, is a home to a large and vibrant gay community. I lived in Atlanta. My neighbors were gay. I have worked with gay people my entire professional life. I have found them to be kind and generous, good people who were born the way they were and are proud of who they are.
Their crime, as far as Hines is concerned, is that they live a sexual life he doesn't understand and abhors which would be fine if Hines kept his views to himself. Instead, he suggests in his column the LGBT community is trying to recruit young people at KSU, a tired and long-debunked myth.
Mr. Hines anchors his troubling opinions in a "Judeo-Christian ethic" while hoping "KSU is inclusive of conservative Christian students somewhere in all of their diversity." I'd be careful invoking the name of Christ in this discussion if I were Mr. Hines because I'd ask him, "Who would Jesus hate?"
It's 2013, not 1913 but Hines thinks it's time to attack, marginalize and dehumanize LGBT people, mocking their sexual preferences and identity while casting them and those who support them like KSU President Dr. Dan Papp as misguided at best and evil at worst. As Mr. Hines puts it, "…we are really, really moving away from our traditional community values."
Hines should take a ride some Friday evening to Swinging Richards, the gay strip club on Northside Drive, and check out all the cars parked in front with tags that say Cobb.
KSU is a great university because it is inclusive. Hines is wrong to project his so-called "values" on the university community and everyone else who lives in the county and state.
He received more on-line responses to his Sunday column than I think he's ever gotten, most condemning his views, which should tell him his ill-informed assumptions about what all Cobb residents believe are way, way out of the mainstream.
I'm pretty sure Sen. Ted Cruz, the tea party flavor of the month, never thought it would go this far when he demanded a government shut down if Obamacare wasn't defunded.
Cruz probably hoped he could ride the right wing media gravy train long enough to become a household name in the run up to his presidential bid in 2016, then jump off the locomotive just before it plummeted off the fiscal cliff.
Cruz got the recognition he wanted, alright, but he should have been careful what he wished for.
The cliff is just up yonder 'round the bend and the Texas "whacko-bird" (John McCain's words, not mine) is still at the controls of this crazy train. If it indeed crashes - and it looks for all the world like that's going to happen next Tuesday - Republicans will have a lot of 'splainin' to do come the midterm elections.
I love all the tea party chatter about Cruz and his pals, Sen. Mike Lee and Sen. Rand Paul, being some kind of patriotic heroes, standing up for principle and doing what the Founding Fathers would do.
This is utter nonsense. The Founders compromised, found common ground, gave a little to get a little, and sought agreeable disagreement. Above all, they respected the rule of law and Obamacare is, undeniably, the law of the land.
Barack Obama campaigned on healthcare reform in 2008 and it was a major reason why he was elected president. Obamacare was passed by the House and Senate, signed into law by the president, upheld by the Supreme Court, and re-litigated in the 2012 election during which Mitt Romney staked his candidacy on repealing Obama's signature legislation – and lost.
Cruz abhors this Constitutional process. He wants to circumvent it, not because he thinks it will be bad for the country. On the contrary; as his buddy Mike Lee told Rush Limbaugh, the reason to kill Obamacare is "because people will like it."
So Cruz and crew are frantically working on behalf of the health insurance industry, which stands to lose if Americans win because they like Obamacare.
This also explains why Gov. Nathan Deal has failed to implement Medicaid expansion and set up a state-run health insurance exchange in which insurers would be forced to compete for the business of Georgia's two million uninsured.
A government shutdown will prove a pyrrhic victory for Cruz and the tea party. As in 1995-1996, his party, including those Republicans who think Cruz is nuts, will be blasted by voters for letting it happen and the GOP will pay for it at the polls a year from now.
When the government re-starts operations after a week or so and Obamacare is funded despite all of Cruz's machinations, he'll finally be relegated to the GOP's back bench where he belongs.
You conservatives crack me up. You can't make up your minds. When President Obama isn't Hitler, he's the appeaser Neville Chamberlain. When he's not Uncle Joe Stalin, he's Silent Cal.
Syrian dictator Basar al-Assad gasses his own people and President Obama wants to enforce the red line he told Assad not to cross, a red line with which the likes of Rep. Paul Ryan, the failed GOP vice presidential candidate, said he agreed when he was campaigning last year.
Now that the red line has been breached, a lot of tough guy conservatives have gone all wobbly – to quote the late Margaret Thatcher – over nailing this bloodthirsty SOB who would commit any moral obscenity to stay in power.
Time for a little history lesson, ladies and gentlemen:
In 1979, the tiny Caribbean island of Granada underwent a bloody coup in which a pro-Communist government was established. Without consulting Congress, in 1983 President Ronald Reagan sent U.S. troops to Grenada to topple the regime. For cover, Reagan told Americans the attack was necessary to protect Americans attending a medical school in Grenada. The students said they were never in any danger.
Killed in the invasion were four Seal Team Six members along with 15 other Americans. The United Nations condemned the attack as a flagrant violation of international law. Reagan's ally, the aforementioned Thatcher, told Reagan not to invade. Reagan had little to gain by attacking Grenada – except making sure he was reelected the following year.
In 1989, again without seeking Congress' consent, President George H.W. Bush invaded Panama to remove the pesky drug trafficking dictator, Manuel Noriega, a former U.S. ally.
More than 500 Panamanians were killed along with 23 American troops to capture one man. Panama's infrastructure was ruined.
Once again, the cover story went that Bush wanted to protect lives, but there was sufficient U.S. military presence in Panama to guard American lives and interests. It appears now, as in 2003, when Bush's son invaded Iraq, the first Bush was trying to score political points, showing himself to be a strong and decisive leader ahead of the 2002 presidential election.
Both the Grenada and Panama invasions had popular support at home even though America's interests were, at best, cloudy.
Obama should have done what he initially wanted to do. Ignore Congress as Reagan and Bush did, hit Syria, then let the chips fall where they may. Obama has nothing to gain politically by striking Syria, other than to show other murderous dictators it can happen to them too if they commit atrocities on the scale of Assad's.
Obama's not running for re-election as were Reagan, Bush I and Bush II.
The same congressional chicken hawks who clamored for the take down of Saddam Hussein in 2002 are today wringing their hands over a Democratic president who would use force to show the rest of the world we won't allow atrocities like the one in Syria without severe consequences.
In doing so, they reveal themselves as the hacks they are, willing to go to war when politically expedient for them and willing to let Assad murder children when it's not.
Obama should now sit back, let Congress tie itself in knots, and know that his first instinct was the correct one.
Those who consume news and opinion exclusively from conservative sources, eschewing the so-called mainstream media, are living in an information bubble that's often devoid of reality. A lot of my critics who post here come to mind.
I came across a great example that demonstrates how this process works. As a media expert and as a public service, I will dissect it for readers:
On August 13, Fox News' "America Live" program featured Christian Whiton, a former state department official. The host began the segment by telling viewers "a new theory" on the Benghazi attacks had emerged: the CIA, the host said, was running missiles through Libya and a "bunch of those missiles were stolen."
The host then offered a sound bite from one Joseph di Genova who claims his "sources" told him "400 missiles were diverted" and had "gotten into the hands of some very ugly people." Di Genova suggested the missiles might be used to shoot down an airliner.
A viewer would be left understandably shaken and angry, especially since this allegation is layered on top of so many others about Benghazi presented by Fox News.
This story is based entirely on Joseph di Genova's allegation so, question one, who is Joseph di Genova? Is he a former CIA spook? Was he in Libya during the alleged theft? From whom did he learn that missiles fell into the hands of "ugly people," i.e. Islamic terrorists?
These are very basic journalistic questions any objective producer would ask in order to establish a source's credibility - but not at Fox News.
You see, Joseph di Genova and his wife, Victoria Toensing, are both high-profile Washington lawyers and long-time Republican operatives who have a record of playing fast and loose with the truth while trading on bogus controversies like Benghazi. At best, di Genova's credibility is compromised so no self-respecting journalist would take him at his word.
Now that we know who di Genova is, the second question is, why is Fox News providing a platform for a compromised source to make an unsubstantiated and inflammatory allegation?
Most everything the administration has said about Benghazi has been corroborated by multiple independent and credible sources ranging from former CIA Director, Gen. David Petraeus to Greg Hicks, one of the so-called Benghazi "whistle blowers." There is no scandal, explaining why the investigations looking for one have gone nowhere.But the Benghazi non-scandal supports Fox News' relentless assertion that Obama "let Americans die," a narrative it has pushed for nearly a year. Thus, Fox News must keep Benghazi alive.
Third question: Who is Christopher Whiton? Answer: Whiton worked in George W. Bush's State Department. He's a conservative and a frequent critic of the Obama administration on Fox News. Whiton, like di Genova and Fox News, is also heavily invested in the Benghazi non-scandal, having mouthed phony allegations in media interviews.
Whiton was probably supposed to support di Genova's allegations, so the Fox host must have been shocked when Whiton said the lawyer's theory "didn't add up."
It doesn't matter. Viewers heard "400 missiles," "stolen," Libyan "ugly people," and "airliners," so the Benghazi non-scandal lives on at Fox.
If all goes well, the latest non-scandal story sticks and gets repeated by other right wing media types, eventually finding currency inside the conservative bubble. Sure enough, World Net Daily, Town Hall, CNS News and other anti-Obama conspiracy theory web sites and media have repeated di Genova's unsubstantiated charges.
To summarize: a cable news network headed by a former Republican operative, Roger Ailes, which has invested its tattered credibility in pushing the Benghazi non-scandal, presents another Republican operative's baseless Benghazi "theory" as fact, then hopes a third Republican operative will support it.
All of this depends on one thing: an audience gullible, stupid or lazy enough to believe it.
I have news for these conservatives. America is a long way from racial harmony and black civil rights leaders know it even if some Pollyannas want to stick their heads in the sand or blather on about how we don't have "colored" drinking fountains in the South anymore.
I recently offered here some pungent examples of the nasty race baiting that has polluted the nation's airwaves since the Martin verdict. Many black Americans were stunned that George Zimmerman could stalk and gun down an unarmed black teenager and walk away from his crime, rightly believing that if it had been the other way around, Trayvon would already be on death row in Florida.
Rush Limbaugh, who (shamefully) speaks for today's conservative movement, chortled on about he could now say "nigga" with an "a" because that's not racist.
I take issue with the comments of another MDJ columnist who recently wrote, "We know we have worked hard to improve race relations, only to have the nation's first black President join (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) and become a divider."
No, President Obama spoke out, quite eloquently, on the shooting of Trayvon and how many African-Americans feel justice was not served in his case and that, as Americans, we can do better. His remarks were even applauded by his 2008 nemesis, Sen. John McCain. The president has also addressed, repeatedly, black-on-black violence while noting that the lack of economic opportunity for young black men leads to a disproportionate number of them committing crimes.
Perhaps the writer didn't listen to the president's speech. If he had, he would have heard this:
"I don't want us to lose sight that things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race. It doesn't mean that we're in a post-racial society. It doesn't mean that racism is eliminated. But you know, when I talk to Malia and Sasha and I listen to their friends and I see them interact, they're better than we are. They're better than we were on these issues.
"(W) e should also have confidence that kids these days I think have more sense than we did back then, and certainly more than our parents did or our grandparents did, and that along this long, difficult journey, you know, we're becoming a more perfect union -- not a perfect union, but a more perfect union."
"My sense of betrayal and frustration lies in the total failure of our first black president to be the reconciler he could have been," writes the MDJ columnist.
Reconciliation is it?
Perhaps he didn't hear Fox New's Geraldo Rivera say this: The George Zimmerman jurors "would have shot and killed Trayvon Martin a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did…You dress like a thug, people are going to treat you like a thug."
Is that how we whites of good will help sooth the raw emotions most all of our black friends and neighbors feel as they watched Zimmerman go scot free especially after one of his six jurors now says he "got away with murder."
The reason Rivera, Limbaugh and dozens of other far right media types can get away with this is because they know too many of their white, aging, male, conservative audiences agree with them. But if Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host who drew national attention to the Martin case, expresses outrage over the verdict, he's hurting race relations.
"My purpose is to emphasize how they and President Obama are making things worse instead of better, and how they are saying 'No thanks!' to citizens, including white conservatives, who have worked diligently to promote racial harmony," the writer continues.
Diligently is it?
Somebody who calls himself "Cobb Co Guy" noted on my blog: "Novelist Stephen Hunter put it best: '[The] presumption is that the African-American community is immature, impulsive, prone to violence and incapable of understanding the nuances of the case.'"
That kind of harmony? Or this kind, from National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent: African-Americans can solve "the black problem" if they put their "heart and soul into being law-abiding..."
Reconciliation comes when you have mutual understanding and a productive dialog, acknowledging and accepting each sides' grievances, and working together toward resolution, which is exactly what President Obama is calling for.
We're supposed to be impressed because local Russian émigré Oleg Ivutin once lived in the old Soviet Union. Ivutin would have us believe he is authoritative enough to declare the United States is on the "fast track" to becoming the Soviet Union.
I don't know which proves how utterly uninformed Ivutin is; his absurd comments before the Georgia Tea Party, as reported in the MDJ, or his woeful ignorance of American politics.
It sounds suspiciously like Ivutin is getting his political education from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and other far right radio conspiracy theorists.
Ivutin says the recent disclosures about domestic metadata spying by the National Security Agency means America is devolving into a Soviet-style "evil empire," to quote Ronald Reagan. This fits neatly into the bogus tea party narrative that President Obama is a secret Commie.
"Obama's argument for all this is always, 'Well, I have this power, but we're never going to use it. And time after time again he uses it, and whatever is going to happen after Obama we don't know."
Ivutin is evidently unaware of 9-11 and the powers President George W. Bush demanded in the wake of the worst terrorist attack in American history. Those powers were timidly handed over by Congress and have been in effect ever since.
We're told the spying has prevented dozens of terrorist attacks. I guess we have to believe that, but blaming Obama for the scope and scale of NSA spying is nonsense.
Speaking of spying, the KGB, Ivutin says, encouraged Soviets to spy on one another. The FBI, Ivutin added without offering any proof, is doing the same thing through the non-profit group Infragard, which is actually designed to prevent cyber attacks, not report on what your neighbor is doing.
Ivutin bizarrely goes on to compare Soviet and U.S. prisons.
"In Russia, they were benefiting from slavery when they were putting people in jails. Here, private prisons make money off of prisoners. So when prisoners go to prison the prison owner gets money, part of that is profit."
It's called privatization, Oleg, a concept thoroughly embraced by conservatives like you who contend private industry can do most all things better than the government. It's also a concept that has been disproved time and again. In fact, the privatized prison system is a national disgrace.No talk Ivutin delivers would be complete without some old fashioned tea party Red-baiting:
"I look at John McCain and Hillary Clinton. I don't see any differences on any issues," Ivutin said. "These people should openly admit that 'Yes, we're socialists'... This is why the tea party movement, the Ron Paul movement, the liberty movements are so popular is because everybody understands it finally."
Except the tea party isn't popular anywhere but in far right strongholds like Cobb County, where Ivutin and his pals bask in each others' glow. In the rest of America, only 8 percent of Republicans self identify as tea partiers, according to a January Rasmussen poll. As for Ron Paul, he finished fourth in the Georgia primary last year.
Having failed to make his central point, that the U.S.A. is the next U.S.S.R., Ivutin concluded with the usual hollow tea party talking points:
"(W)e tell … the (GOP) establishment, 'Look, we go this far. You will split the party of the conservative movement if you go along with this.' I will be perfectly OK with that…in the future someone will remember that this country was made up of ideals and people who were willing to stand by them, not people who were willing to, just for political conveniences, adjust to things."
Ivutin doesn't comprehend compromise – those "political conveniences" he speaks of – is a founding principle of the Republic. Americans understand, contrary to the tea party and Soviet dogmas, nobody gets everything they want all the time in American politics.

The Blues defensive prospect told the team today that he is going back to school for his junior year.
I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. After last week's Pro Orientation camp, I felt Cole would turn pro.
"It was a very tough decision," Cole said. "The Blues were great about it, more than hospitable. But I thought that staying in school another year would put me another year closer to getting my degree, and it would be another year of maturity. Honestly, I think going back to school will make me a much more well-rounded and complete player down the road."
More on this story later . . .

I'm fascinated by the idea of time travel and how we may not be able to achieve time travel now but future civilizations may be able to execute time travel and could be visiting us now. Here are some events and i would love to here your opinion.
Cell phone events in early to mid 1900s:
Cellphone in the early 1900s
Also a bunch of examples of people who reappear throughout history at different points right before an event. An example is Andrew Basiago and John Titor who reoccur throughout time.
Would like to know your opinion, ideas, and examples (if any) thank you.


text: Chocolate almonds come in all the colors of the rainbow. Candy coating on the outside keeps the chocolate underneath from melting on the colored ones. Keeping hands clean when guests dig into a bowl of gorgeous pink or white chocolate almonds. Creamy milk chocolate covered almonds are a crowd favorite at any event. The clean look and elegant shape of candied almonds is appropriate everywhere. White chocolate almonds at wedding receptions fit in perfectly with the day. Pink and blue almond candies are popular for baby showers and bridal showers. MIx and match colors to fit your party colors.

Congenital antithrombin III deficiency is a genetic disorder that causes the blood to clot more than normal.
Deficiency - antithrombin III - congenital; Antithrombin III deficiency - congenital
Antithrombin III is a protein in the blood that naturally blocks abnormal blood clots from forming. It helps the body keep a healthy between bleeding and clotting. Congenital antithrombin III deficiency is an inherited disease. It occurs when a person receives one abnormal copy of the antithrombin III gene from a parent with the disease.
The abnormal gene leads to low levels of antithrombin III. These low levels of antithrombin III can cause abnormal blood clots (thrombi) that can block blood flow and damage organs.
People with this condition will often have a blood clot at a young age. They are also likely to have family members who have had a blood clotting problem. Blood clots may occur in people who do not have the common risk factors for clotting.
People will usually have symptoms of a blood clot, including:
A physical exam may show:
The doctor will check for low blood level of antithrombin III. There are different methods for checking this level.
A blood clot is treated with blood thinning medications (also called anticoagulants). How long you need to take these medications depends on how serious the blood clot was and other factors. Discuss this with your health care provider.
Most patients have a good outcome if they stay on anticoagulant medications.
Blood clots can cause death. Blood clots in the lungs are very dangerous.
See your health care provider if you have symptoms of this condition.
There is no way to prevent it. Once a person is diagnosed with antithrombin III deficiency, all close family members should be screened.

Village of Big Bend — There wasn't an open seat in the village hall Thursday night as sparks flared between neighbors.
The village board and plan commission heard public input regarding the proposed development of an outdoor recreational facility.
Village of Big Bend resident Steven Adkins has requested a conditional use permit to build a mult-use sport field on his residential property. The proposed field would include accessories such as amplified electronic sound, goals, lighting and other equipment.
"On paper it looks really big and scary," Adkins said. "I want to be able to play with my kids in my backyard."
The public — many of whom said they live near Adkins — responded to the request with a resounding "no."

Portions of Lake Country bike trail in Delafield, Pewaukee closing soon
Closures in Delafield and Pewaukee along the Lake Country Bike Trail are imminent.
Partial closures have occurred intermittently since August, when the American Transmission Company (ATC) first announced it would be removing and replacing high-voltage transmission poles and wires along the trail as part of a larger effort called the Quad County Electric Reliability Project.
The closures are anticipated to begin in early March.
Vegetation clearing and restoration work will shut down a portion of the trail from Highway P to Glen Cove Road until April or May. Alissa Braatz, an ATC corporate communications officer, said in an email that the work is weather dependent, so the time line for completion may fluctuate if Wisconsin experiences another long winter.
Braatz said updated signs warning Lake Country residents of the impending closures have been posted at various entry points along the trail, and she said that ATC is also sending out informational postcards explaining the closures to residents who live near the Glen Cove Road portion of the trail.
» Read Full ArticleEagle detachment requests tossed out by Palmyra-Eagle school board
Despite two of five petitions to detach from the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District and attach to the Mukwonago Area School District being determined as invalid, the P-EASD school board unanimously denied all five requests to detach on Feb. 25.
Following more than two hours of presentations from petitioners for the detachment, administrators and counsel for the district, along with resident comments against the detachment, the board came out of closed session and shared financial information that clinched board members decisions on the matter.
Already staring at a potential loss of more than $1 million in revenue by 2018-19, if the five detachments were to go through, a finance report from Ehlers Group indicated P-EASD could be stuck paying Mukwonago between $3 and $7 million, depending on how assets and liabilities would be distributed.
That came down to a "game changer" that threatened the livelihood of the Palmyra-Eagle district for board member Tom Novak and the rest of the board, as each resolution to deny the petitions was unanimously approved.
"This is it. We own it now," board President Scott Hoff told the crowd standing to applaud school board members in the middle school gymnasium.

City of Delafield - A public hearing on a proposed senior living center at the Village Square shopping center has been tenatively scheduled for March 25 even though one member of the plan commission says it is "putting the cart before the horse" and another commissioner described it as "an academic exercise."
Milwaukee based Heritage Senior Living is proposing 124 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care facilities in two buildings located on about five acres on the west side of the shopping center near the intersection of Highways 83 and 16.
City officials have acknowledged that the project cannot be approved unless United Properties, the owners of trhe shopping center, and the city can reach an agreement to amend an out of court settlement that resolved zoning disputes over the shopping center about 10 years ago.
However, Mayor Michele DeYoe told the commissioners that they should review the proposal and schedule a public hearing without taking into consideration the terms of the settlement agreement.
She said it was up to the Common Council to either amend or enforce the agreement.

Hi Al! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures from your travels. It must be painful to have such a slow connection, but your efforts are much appreciated. You must be having fabulous adventures! Happy trails! Maren
Trip Start
Nov 08, 2008
Trip End
Feb 10, 2009
The beginning of the Sahara desert is upon us. It is starting to heat up during the day. Camel
caravans and nomadic tribes are starting to appear as well. The Sahel
is just around the corner. We spent most of the first day at the
border getting out of Morocco and into Mauritania. Slow and steady
seems to be the system here. No one is in a rush to do anything. We
had several bush camps before the border. Incredible scenery on the
coast. No problems so far. All is well with the truck and crew on
board so far. Illness ahead, it has been assured!
Hi from Roswell. Glad to read and see you are having a good time. Eating plenty of wings for you while you are gone. John

Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms that occur when there is damage to the nerves that manage every day body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, bowel and bladder emptying, and digestion.
Neuropathy - autonomic; Autonomic nerve disease
Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms, not a specific disease. There are many causes.
Autonomic neuropathy involves damage to the nerves that carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the heart, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, pupils, and blood vessels.
Autonomic neuropathy may be seen with:
Symptoms vary depending on the nerves affected. They usually develop gradually over years. Symptoms may include:
Stomach and intestines
Heart and lungs
Signs of autonomic nerve damage are not always seen when yourdoctor or nurse examines you. Your blood pressure or heart rate may change when lying down, sitting, and standing.
Special tests to measure sweating and heart rate may be done. This is called "autonomic testing."
Other tests depend on what type of symptoms you have.
Treatment to reverse nerve damage is most often not possible. As a result, treatment and self-care are focused on managing your symptoms and preventing further problems.
Your doctor or nurse may recommend:
The following may help your intestines and stomach work better:
Medicines and self-care programs can help you if you have:
How well you do depends on the cause of the problem and if it can be treated.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of autonomic neuropathy. Early symptoms might include:
Early diagnosis and treatment increases the likelihood of controlling symptoms.
Autonomic neuropathy may hide the warning signs of a heart attack. They are sudden fatigue, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting.
Preventing or controlling disorders associated with autonomic neuropathy may reduce the risk. For example, people with diabetes should closely control blood sugar levels .

COCO JOVO: Karl Lagerfeld continues to populate Chanel campaigns with famous women. The designer has selected model-actress-designer Milla Jovovich to pose for the brand's fall-winter handbag and accessories campaign. Diane Kruger is featured in Chanel's current campaign.
PUCCI'S RECRUIT?: Could colorful swirls be in Delphine Arnault's future? Speculation is mounting that Bernard Arnault's daughter could join the LVMH-owned Pucci brand in a top position. A spokesman for LVMH declined to comment. This year marks Pucci's 60th anniversary and the company will celebrate on May 19 and 20 in Florence with a retrospective installation at Palazzo Pucci and a party. Last month, Didier Drouet was appointed chief executive at the fashion house, replacing Catherine Vautrin, who is expected to be back on the scene in September.
AZZARO'S NEW BAG: Azzaro designer Vanessa Seward, who arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday for her annual spring sojourn to the West Coast and a dinner party hosted by Cameron Silver at Sunset Tower Thursday, revealed that the French house, now owned by the Spanish private equity firm Reig Capital, has inked a deal to produce handbags with Judith Lieber for spring 2008. "They won't be your typical jeweled minaudière, though both Azzaro and Lieber are known for their sparkle," said Seward, decked out in a new copper silk jersey cocktail dress with twisted gold lamé straps. "I think I have found a way to do a bag that is uniquely Azzaro." Though she remained coy, Seward dropped some clues about her next clothing collection: "I will be using some chiffon, and doing some minidresses and bohemian shapes. One of my inspirations is 'Sweet Charity,' with a bit of danger, of course." The evening was a typical Continental-meets-Hollywood affair: actresses Julie Delpy, Radha Mitchell and Angie Harmon and stylists Tanya Gill and Tara Swennen sipped aperitifs and lounged on the terrace sofas overlooking the Los Angeles lights. "There is nothing subtle about me right now," joked Harmon, who wore a floor-length navy jeweled gown. "I am even wearing blue eye shadow to match my dress!"

With all the diets out there to choose from these days, it's hard to know which ones are legitimate and which are diet fads.
To help you gain clarity, here are some common diet traps from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), part of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Myth: Fad diets will take the weight off and keep it off.
Facts: Fad diets that drastically limit calories or ban food groups may help you lose weight, but it's hard to stick with these diets over the long term. Diets that are very limiting are hard to follow; many people get bored with these kinds of diets and end up regaining the weight they lost.
Fad diets also may be unhealthy, because they may not provide all the nutrients your body needs, the WIN says. If you lose more than three pounds a week on a diet, you may increase your risk for developing gallstones. Extremely low-calorie diets may lead to problems with heart rhythm.
The fix: The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to aim for half a pound to two pounds a week. You can accomplish this by choosing healthy foods, watching your portions, and adding daily exercise.
Myth: Low-carb diets are a healthy way to lose weight.
Fact: Low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets are not balanced eating plans, the WIN says. On these kinds of diets, you may be eating too much fat and cholesterol, which may boost your risk for heart disease. You also may get too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Eating fewer than 130 grams of carbohydrates a day can lead to a buildup of a kind of partially broken down fats called ketones. This can lead to gout and kidney stones.
The fix: Instead of cutting back on carbohydrates, you should reduce your overall caloric intake. A healthy reducing diet includes carbohydrates, protein, and fat. This kind of diet usually is easier to follow, because it offers a wider variety of foods.
Myth: When you're trying to lose weight, you don't need to pay attention to the beverages you drink.
Fact: It's easy to guzzle more than you think because liquid calories–from fruit and coffee drinks to beer and regular soda–don't yield much satiety, meaning psychologically you don't feel like you've eaten.
The fix: Curb liquid calories by making everything you drink between meals low-calorie or calorie-free. Drink water, seltzer, regular coffee, tea, diet soda, diet vegetable juice, or lemonade. Also, make specialty coffee drinks a splurge rather than an everyday event.
Myth: What you do while you eat isn't important.
Fact: Eating while you're doing something else, whether it's driving or answering email, is a good way to inhale calories without realizing it because on-the-go calories can be dissatisfying.
The fix: Schedule at least 20 minutes for eating without the television on and without reading, which also can be distracting. Your aim is to focus on your food and savor every bite.
Myth: Starches are fattening, so you should limit them if you need to lose weight.
Fact: Foods high in starch include bread, rice, pasta, cereal, beans, fruits, and some vegetables. These foods are also low in fat and calories. They become high-fat and high-calorie when you add butter, sour cream, or mayonnaise, the WIN says.
The fix: Depending on the number of calories you get each day, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that you have six to 10 ounce-equivalents of bread, cereal, rice, or pasta each day, even when you are trying to lose weight. At least half of the grains you eat should be whole grains. A one-ounce equivalent is 1 one-ounce slice of bread, 1 ounce uncooked pasta or rice; ½ cup cooked rice, pasta, or cereal; 1 tortilla (6-inch diameter); 1 pancake (5-inch diameter); or 1 ounce ready-to-eat cereal (about 1 cup cereal flakes).
Myth: Diets based on a specific food burn fat, helping you lose weight.
Fact: No foods "burn" fat, the WIN says. Foods that contain caffeine may speed up your metabolism, but they don't make you lose weight.
The fix: To lose weight, you need to reduce the number of calories you eat and add exercise to your daily activities.
