The closing statement that conservatives have rejected the social safety net is inaccurate in several revealing ways.
First, it implies that the entire problem is the creation of conservatives, hence that progressives are totally blameless. I think any fair reading would show good and bad behavior by both sides.
Second, it makes a bald assertion about conservative beliefs that just is not true. I do not know of even one conservative who would disagree with the idea of "safety-net yes, hammock no." What progressives call a "safety net" is what many conservatives consider "long term dependency". But everyone supports a short-term safety net for temporary emergencies.
Third, it does not explain what (rightly or wrongly) upsets conservatives. They disapprove of (what they perceive as) large-scale policies to make up for past injustices (by people long-dead, against people long-dead) by penalizing some people alive today to reward some of people alive today - neither of whom earned that treatment. They prefer for people to be treated according to their own character and behavior, not according to stereotyped images of race, class, gender groups. Hence they are angry and distrustful.
Things like allegedly lying about healthcare are just detailed actions, as part of tactics, to implement strategies, to achieve the above-listed goals. The goals (as they perceive it) are what make them upset.
You are deluded to say the least. How many African American software moguls are there? None. It's difficult to learn to program if neither you nor your school has a computer, which they don't. How many African Americans have been "picked" on American Pickers show? None. Hard to pick an African American hoarder if they don't exist. Elvis Presley's estate is rich off the copyrights pried from African American artists in the 50s under Jim Crow. What songs did welfare queen Priscilla Presley sing or write? None. How many songs did Sonny Bono's wife write. None. But Congress extended copyrights for her. Do you know what "legacies" are? Affirmative Action for white people like George "Mission Accomplished" Bush.
By example of this article, the media continues to abandon a sacred trust in favor of a preferred narrative. In the midst of an utter collapse in trust in government, the author demonstrates exactly why the public no longer trusts government nor the media. We are experiencing an utter collapse in trust in government and the author attempts to put a happy face on circumstances by comparing us to "corruptocracies" elsewhere. This Lexington columnist minimizes American anger in order to rationalize away the current Administration's lack of leadership, pattern of deceit and endless campaigning. It is telling that there is no mention of Benghazi or other examples whereby the Obama administration chose to lie as a deliberate political calculation. The blatant "if you like your plan.." lie (NOT fib) is but the most glaring example of a culture that has no boundaries when it comes to achieving ends regardless the means. Had the Bush administration used the IRS against political enemies, or abandoned an Ambassador and staff--then lied about it--there would be no end (justifiably) of recrimination in the media. Instead, the press merely nod their heads when the POTUS brushes away his lies as "phony scandals". Shameful.
The current administration is not clear, transparent or accountable in any facet of its operations. This is due to either incompetence or the implementation of a deliberate strategy. Either way, trust between this government and her citizens is at an all time low. Similarly, the people cannot trust a "free" press that abdicates it's most sacred role of holding the government accountable. That trust has been squandered once and for all.
So, Benghazi, and Health Care anger you but not Mission Accomplished, deficits don't matter, insurgency almost over, doesn't. Thanks for being the reason we need to keep abortion legal.
Where you get your talking points ? O'Reilly or Hannity.
How many embassies were bombed in under Bush ?
Would u like to keep your current insurance plan that has a cap so you can go bankrupt ?
My points are my own, and factual unlike your breathless booshbombembassis fantasy. Hmmm….that's right ….that's the ticket! whenever confronted by inconvenient truthiness…ALWAYS invoke BUSH!! Even when a fairly dim middle schooler knows those events happened under CLINTON!
What angers me is enormous and unaccountable bureaucracy regardless which end of the political spectrum it originates from. Likewise for a "free" press that abdicates it's role to hold the government accountable. An administration, any administration, that is unclear/not transparent/and unaccountable as a deliberate strategy is an adversary of common human rights.
Given your last sentence, I don't expect a reasonable and respectful exchange of ideas with anyone who express such a sentiment. Personal attacks are the last refuge of morally and intellectually bankrupts scoundrels.
President Obama did not "fib." He deliberately told a big LIE about a very relevant issue for his own political advantage. Just as Don Vito Corleone would have done. Does your Queen LIE for the PM? I doubt it.
America isn't corrupt in small ways (mordita) but it huge ways, such as the millions of underemployed government workers at federal, state, and municipal levels. And the millions of conflicting regulations that take billions in small bites out of American productivity (supporting the government workers). And around, around, around again until nothing is left.
Conservatives are not opposed to emergency safety nets. They are opposed to providing a lifetime of satisfaction to those who won't work and believe they can scamming the system. Watch this REAL video http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/12/28210-woman-calls-in-on-obama-phon....
Mission Accomplished, deficits don't matter, insurgency almost over, WMD, shining democracy in the ME, Republicans are the experts at lying.
Canned replies don't advance this discourse at all. BTW, do you feel like a lone voice crying out in the Wilderness?
He left out that the Bush admin instructed homeland security to raise the "threat level" during the runup to the 2004 election and claim we were about to be attacked - it was all a lie, as confirmed by Tom Ridge after he resigned following the 2004 election.
Ho, hum.
So, it's okay for your "guy" to lie his way into office by scaring the American people? Okay...
You ASS-U-ME that either Bush was "my guy." Not so.
Well, if Bush41 wasn't "your guy" you're not really a conservative. 43 was more of a social conservative than policy conservative. But I can say you're either a Republican or libertarian (or something in between), so the Bushes are the closest thing to your guy to win a presidential election in 30 years (Reagan won his 2nd term 30 years ago last month in an epic landslide, and he couldn't even win a GOP primary today).
Supamark, are you inhaling as you see "Puff the Magic Dragon" drift through your mind. Wild speculations can not be the basis for an adult conversation.
BTW, to ease your feverish mind, I'm not a "Conservative." Not religious either.
Then what makes you think you're qualified to say what conservatives think of the social safety net if you're not one? You've got the walking and quacking part down... why wouldn't I think you're a conservative?
Also, Karl Rove - quite conservative, and not religious (possibly an athiest).
At every state opening of parliament the queen reads a speech written by the prime minister outlining the government's legislative priorities.
Check out https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/queens-speech-2013
So yeah, she lies for the PM.
Bush lied, people died, Obama lied, people got health insurance
Ambassador Stevens and the Benghazi Boyz are unavailable to comment….
Since this article has activated the right wing noise machine, it's generated comments that perfectly illustrate the problem with political debate in America: the unhinged conspiracy ridden, non-sequitur ranting of Republicans. Keeping in mind the following easily verifiable facts of the Obama administration:
The US deficit is now much lower (in real terms) than when Obama took office.
The US federal government is now much smaller (as percentage of the total population) than when Obama took office
Obama won both of his elections by an exceptionally large popular and electoral margin.
Yet note the factually inaccurate and rhetorically extreme language used by the right wing. There is nothing comparable to that on the left, either in terms of distortion or calls for violent retribution and mass killings. These quotes can easily be found in the following pages, so it can be verified that I didn't take them out of context or misinterpret irony.
- only now, is the left wing media admitting Obama won the election through outright fraud..
- I look forward to watching you and other thieving leftists like you starving in the streets when that happens. You will certainly get no help from me thieves. You live by the sword (of govt) , you will die by it.
- Half of all Americans think they own ( collectively) the other half. "Gemeinnutz geht vor eigennutz" … Every single one should be executed as the traitors to the Principles of liberty, the rule of Law and this Country.
- We supposedly added 200,000 jobs last month, but 41% of them were government jobs doing what? Helping people fraudulently sign up for a fraudulent Obamacare?
- Oh let's see... an election hand picked by a news media in absolute lockstep in their desire to get a "historic" IE first black and socialist president.. the GOP never stood a prayer against the billion dollar media rah rah Obama express...
- ask the treasonous left who started this mess, who demagogued us for decades, who routinely commit voting fraud and rig elections.. who lie openly, and without consequences from a worshiping media.
- And how can I even trust that 200,000 number after we now know the census bureau is as politicized and fraudulent as the IRS? They lied about the unemployment numbers before the 2012 elections to make Obama look good. Obama lied about us keeping our medical plans if we liked them to get his fraudulent Obamacare passed with fully half the country against it.
- Obama went on the idiot Letterman show and lied to us about Benghazi and the death of an American ambassador.
- The GDP is falling because of the massive money printing being done by the Fed to fund these massively corrupt vote buying programs, and it will collapse under its won weight, and soon.
- When one side, is both in complete control of academia, the media.. the WH.... and tops that by abuses so severe they'd get ANY republican impeached and thrown in prison...
- Obama's a hateful, venom throwing dullard who never once in his life, ever had someone tell him no.. and he cannot handle it..
- he and the Reid Pelosi AXIS have waged an unholy war against ANYH opposition,.. effectively telling America, if you don't grovel and submit 100% to my every edict and petty whim, I'll just run to daddy media and call you monsters.. and the noneducated low info voter will buy it, for a while..
- we're a nation under occupation by a thuggish left wing junta..
- laws?... he ignores them... or rewrites them with his own pen.. illegal on it's face..
- he lied epically, dozens of times about his intentions.. and his ruinous plan to enslave every American to the federal government.
- We're being stepped on, abused and harassed by the radical left wing nutjob Obama WH through the DOD IRS and EPA, persecuting Americans just because they hate our politics..
- The future is pretty bleak.. no nation can survive long, when it's ruling political class holds it's own citizens in contempt, and seeks to make opposition a criminal act.
- suddenly, they no longer even made a pretense of civility.. it was all hate, all the time.. and the country would be infinitely better off if they all ran to Cuba, where they can live as state vassals as they so dream of.
I see that you're giving Obama credit for the spending cuts forced on him by congressional Republicans. Want me to dig up old Obama quotes on how the sequester would be an apocalypse? Lets not be intellectually dishonest, there's enough of that going around.
Except that those quotes don't actually prove anything because they are opinions about what might happen and not factual statements about what is happening. Also, then why don't Republicans take credit for the reductions instead of trying to blame the President? Talk about being a fraud.
Actually, your scorch-the-earth partisanship is the problem.
Try rereading jimeh post, it reads as a condemnation of the type of partisanship you decry. All the criticism of right-wing comments are backed with examples and facts, surely this is the type of debate you should be in favor of?
How to nail Obama for his "you can keep your plan" lie -- there had to be a lot of FBI agents out there who heard it.
"Did you know that it is a crime to tell a lie to the federal government? Even if your lie is oral and not under oath? Even if you have received no warnings of any kind? Even if you are not trying to cheat the government out of money? Even if the government is not actually misled by your falsehood? Well it is." http://corporate.findlaw.com/litigation-disputes/how-to-avoid-going-to-j...
18 USC § 1001 - Statements or entries generally -- a) [W]hoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive ... branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false,fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years ... .
For example: "The indictment ... alleges that, when contacted by FBI special agents investigating fundraising and charity scams related to the Newtown school shooting, Alba falsely stated [to them] that she did not post information related to Newtown on her Facebook account, have contact with anyone about such postings, or recently access her PayPal account."
The odd thing is under any normal meaning of the word "lie", President Obama did indeed actually and deliberately lie about the impact of the ACA. Information has been released showing that the White House was aware that the statements about "keeping ones plan" and "keep your doctor" were false and misleading. In fact just about anyone who read the law and noted the Health Department rules issued under that law (in 2010) should have known.
So the amazing thing isn't that so many thing Obama has lied, it's that so many DON'T think that he has. If he didn't lie, what was he, totally out of the loop and uninformed,or terminally stupid ? You can excuse a lie as a tactical device (which it was), but it's still a lie.
I suggest it is this belief that any falsehood is acceptable if it leads to the desired result by much of the political apparatus that leads to distrust. How can you trust the utterance of someone who you know will openly lie to you for their own furtherance ?
Uh, Obama didn't write the law... it was written by congress and lobbyists (or, more accurately, congressional aides and lobbyists). I'm not sure Obama himself knew what was actually in the law, or most of congress either. Probably more accurate to say that his aides (some of whom may have actually read the law) gave him inaccurate talking points. Same as under Bush or any other modern president, presidents don't really have a lot of time to sit around and read bills for content and instead rely on aides to take care of that stuff.
Oh…so the man is a puppet and not one who leads by conviction? Well…never mind then, enjoy the back nine!
double post, d'Oh!
You don't seem to understand how power is divided in the US... the president has little power or influence in domestic affairs beyond the "bully pulpit" and the veto. Even LBJ derived his power through personal coercion (he was a great arm-twister who knew who had what skeltons in their closet) and not from the powers of the office itself.
I understand the separation of power under a representative democracy quite well thank you very much (contrary to your condescending tone). The POTUS wields great power in many ways, even domestically. Have you ever heard of Executive Orders? The current POTUS is chronically modifying the ACA in order to exempt unions and corporate cronies, not to mention his latest lame attempt to ignore the individual mandate and restore cancelled insurance plans.
One extraordinary thing about the current President is his pattern of blame-shifting and passing the buck. He is convinced of his own infallibility, the buck never stops with him...ever. Further, his policies and actions have never attempted to bring Americans together--quite the contrary in fact. He's a campaigner not a leader. Obamaphiles and sycophants routinely lambaste his critics as "racists" whenever someone dares to criticize the President. Not only is this tactic intellectually and morally bankrupt, it diminishes the true meaning of the word "racist". The President should be the first to take a stand and defend citizens' First Amendment right to free speech (as GWB often did when Code-Pink was camped outside his summer HQ in Waco. That was when dissent was patriotic and not "racist"). Nowadays President Obama lets his sycophants run roughshod over critics. His silence speaks volumes--and that is not a hallmark of leadership, especially where the President of the United States is concerned. The POTUS necessarily needs a thick hide and a willingness to accept responsibility (like that Democrat who said "The buck stops here!". This is the least clear/transparent/accountable Administration in history by design.
The President did not write the law, that is true. But he assured the citizens numerous times--unequivocally--about things that are demonstrably untrue (e.g. "...if you like your plan...if you like your doctor...families will save $2,500/yr, etc.). His staff certainly knew or should have known the truth, similarly for his Congressional allies (Reid/Pelosi). But leftists subvert the truth always (the ends justify the means). So there is no excuse for willfully misleading the American people. Doing so displays utter contempt for those people, the rule of law and our constitution. Portraying the POTUS as a powerless innocent is a pathetic gambit; if anyone does so simply because of his ethnicity, then it is they who are racist because they want a different standard for a President of color than any previous occupant of the office. Presidents, regardless of skin color need the courage to lead all the people. At some point the current President decided not to lead or accept responsibility, choosing instead to campaign and blame-shift perpetually.
tl;dr. also, wall of text.
What does that mean?
I don't buy this analysis -- in part because I think Americans continue to trust each other, but not the government. Yes, our government is not as corrupt as some, and petty bribes are not a way of life. But it doesn't meet our expectations, and there is plenty of corruption at municipal levels. At the federal level, Americans generally believe politicians are more interested in getting re-elected than doing the right thing.
Consider the immigration debate: anti-amnesty, anti-guest worker conservatives are not worried about the Democrats gaining power and passing their legislation, but about Republicans, that is, their own party, betraying them.
Jane, actually many people who are "anti-amnesty/anti-guest worker"...work in the construction trades. You know, those knuckle draggers who have been tossed out of work by illegals who have taken their jobs and are then paid less than half of what a citizen or legal resident would be earning. More over, the companies who hire them PAY NO INCOME TAXES, SS taxes, health care (they use emergency rooms and have bankrupted the Prince Georges Co. public hospital system), on those illegals.
I have been working in Washington DC for the past several months on the new Marriott Hotel (9th & L Streets). 70% of the people who are building this hotel in the nation's capital are illegals. None of those people are being paid the legally mandated union rates the contracts require. P & D Construction (dry wall contractor), Progressive Wallhanging (wall paper contractor) and the painters are paying "piece work."
So don't tell me how good amnesty is going to be. What it means is American workers will be permanently be displaced for decent paying jobs...simply to make room for a Democratic constiuency...
Oh...and when I talked to the union shop steward about the illegals...I found out most are paying "dues"...under the table and that the union business agents for the various trades are pocketing them. Ain't that nice?
I called ICE about this, and was told by the agent that they aren't enforcing any immigration laws on illegals for the foreseeable (sp?) future...so when in the h3ll would I trust the government now?
Uhm, you do understand that if they become "legal" that they will no longer be paid under the table, right? They will no longer be cheaper because they'll be legal (with all the paperwork and paper trail that entails).
If you want to stop that sort of thing, you have to penalize the employer. And by penalize, I mean fines so large they put people out of business and jail terms for company officers. Not just laws, but strictly enforced laws. That is the only way to stop it.
Agree. The mirror image of illegal immigration are the people hiring them. They are Americans selling their 'own' down the river.
When enough do, then the rest are in a jam. The only way out is to look the other way and do the same.
But American workers like this guy above has been caponized. All he'll do is suck his thumb and whine instead of taking on the contractors thmselves. Corruption to the core.
Rich, the people who own these companies that hire illegals are more often than not Republicans (I lived in AZ for years and watched this happen during boom times). Reps and Dems have a stake in illegal immigration. I agree with Teacup and SuperMark. You should have taken on the contractors even though it might have affected you economically. We need to close the borders because we can not afford open borders. Mexico doesn't have open borders, and neither should we. But we also need a guest worker program, a sensible streamlined immigration system, and a minimum wage of about $18-$20 so that no one is a victim of modern day slavery. We wouldn't need welfare if wages allowed people to support their families with dignity. I did a temporary assignment in Oregon in a town with no brown people. Generational welfare was rampant. One patient summed it up eloquently: "Why should I work doc? I have a nice house, nice truck, and a nice fishing boat. I wouldn't have all that if I worked at McDonalds!" Besides giving people dignity, a higher minimum wage would decrease crime exponentially, increase the tax base, and redistribute some GDP away from the Oligarchs! You deserve a living wage and so does everyone else who puts in an honest day's work. The richest country in history can afford that for its citizens, and even for its guest workers...
Sorry, Mexico does have "open borders". There are thousands of people from Guatemala,El Salvador and
Honduras living and transiting through the country.
I've been on Mexico's southern border. They are doing more to stop these "illegal" Guatamalens, Hondurans, and Salvadorans than the the U.S. does to Mexicans. The police treat these people horribly, and if you talk to average Mexicans, they certainly want most of these illegals to leave because they take jobs! I am for legal immigration, it's the one hope we have for remaining on top. Let's not be hypocritical though; the U.S. can not afford to take only poor, uneducated immigrants from Mexico. We need middle and high skill workers from all over the world to make this work for all of us. Mexicans need to liberate their country from the tyrants and criminals that now run it. Pay the price of freedom and prosperity my friends.
Mexico instituted a new immigration law in 2011 which was much more liberal than the old 1970 one. For instance being undocumented was decriminalized, reducing it to an administrative infraction, punishable with a fine of up to 100 days' worth of minimum wage.
for more details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_in_Mexico
So who ever "they" are it isn't the government. I don't doubt that some Mexicans and police treat illegals horribly but the official position of Mexico is they will treat them better. My understanding of the Mexico border wall that you suggest you have some expertise on is that it very incomplete, particularly in mountainous regions it crosses. I also found this interesting site http://blog.iamnikon.com/en_GB/tag/mexico/
where you can see making an "unauthorized" crossing does seem to have been a problem 2 years after the "wall" was proposed. When were you last in this region?
Firstly, I never claimed to be an "expert" on the Mexican border wall (please be intellectually honest). What I am is a brown skinned physician (so is my wife) who travels to poor countries to volunteer. We own a home in Belize, so I know the area very well. I don't run around as some carpetbagger taking pics of poor people. I give them free healthcare and actually speak to everyone involved in the situation. When we were crossing the border with some Canadian colleagues (who were in a different vehicle), I had a gun placed in my face and was questioned very suspiciously not to mention being pulled from the vehicle and having all of my possessions searched. Of course, after my credentials were vetted, and my light skinned friends spoke up for me, the authorities seemed to be regretful, but not sorry. They explained they thought I was a Guatemalan trying to get in on fake papers. My situation is not unique. Stories of beatings, forced deportation, and even police killings are not far fetched. I was there in 2011. Great, I am glad the Mexican government changed its policies after pressure and embarrassment caused it to do so, not out of the goodness of its collective heart or out of concern for poor people in the region. Hopefully attitudes will change with the policies and laws, but that usually takes a long time. True change will come when the economics change. Mexico is not a poor country (natural resources including oil and natural gas), the people are poor. It has a lot of resources and its proximity to the U.S. and Canada should give it a great economic advantage. This advantage is nullified due to corruption that leads to a hyper oligarchy (the direction the U.S. is headed). Mexico's upper class and government will do anything to keep the U.S. border "open", because it means they don't have to provide for their own citizens. Poor workers crossing the border is a form of welfare and it keeps the pressure off of them to progress to a healthy democracy with a vibrant middle class. The "illegal" border situation in the U.S. and Mexico only hurts poor people on on all sides of the borders and enriches the upper classes who have the capital to take advantage of the wage deflation it causes. My point still stands. Every country in the world needs an immigration policy that is in its own self interest. The U.S. policy needs to be changed to accept immigrants from all over the world, not just Mexico. As Mexico should change its policies for its own interests, perhaps they should make it easier for educated people from the U.S. and Canada to emigrate? That is what Belize has done very successfully. I know a lot of doctors and engineers will be looking for a place to go once the U.S. government and corporations completely destroy the middle class and continue to "steal" labor from the talented to pay for the empty political promises that it can no longer afford to keep! My wife and I have already emigrated... and it was not to Mexico!!!!
I didn't mean for my reply to be taken as a personal attack, but if you took it that way I apologize for any offense. In my defense I didn't say you were "an expert" - what I wrote was "... you suggest you have some expertise on...". I think that is fair summary of what you were claiming both in this and your previous post.
The larger point of my reply was to provide some additional data points to provide a fuller picture of immigration in Mexico.
You main statement " They are doing more to stop these "illegal" Guatamalens, Hondurans, and Salvadorans than the the U.S. does to Mexicans." is also undermined by your own point that Mexico does have corrupt and inefficient officials and laws.
I might add as well that your new home country does much worst than Mexico both in Transparency International's rankings http://amandala.com.bz/news/?p=253422&upm_export=pdf
and in Heritage's economic freedom ranks
Your helping you fellow Belizeans will certainly help in making that part of the world a better place and you have my admiration.
I accept your apology, as well as your insight. Thank you for the info and links. I did not know Mexico changed its laws, and I surely appreciate the info about Belize! Belize has problems, but they seemed to be doing a better job with them than most poor countries. I own a home in Belize, and visit / work there often; if I could stay and work for free I would; however I have emigrated and received Permanent residency in a different country, which is consistently in the top 5 of Amnesty International's rankings for least corrupt countries, and top 10 for education. We were welcomed with open arms (just as in Belize as opposed to Mexico. My brother in law (who is a pilot), sister in law (school Principal with a Ph.D.) and my own sister (ultrasound / xray technician) have emigrated or will soon emigrate to different countries, but away from the U.S. This article is very personal to me because the rhetoric, consequences of that rhetoric and policies have caused us to pursue our "American Dream" elsewhere. We have had to leave most everyone we love (parents) to pursue a better life. We are succeeding and have no doubt that our son will have a better life than we have had, but isn't this backward? Shouldn't the talented be coming to America, instead of leaving? The Oligarchs have won. They have managed to hijack our democracy, destroy the middle class, whip up tension to near race and class warfare, and push us back into a combo Feudal/Fascist state that is just unbearable to any educated, conscious person to exist in. We tried to change things with political involvement to no avail. I am sad to have left, but happy to not have to own a gun (fear of my neighbors and the police), send my son to an expensive private school or worry about him dying in a war that I did not approve or want to pay for!! Maybe the silent majority will finally wake up and take back the country; and we american refugees can return home.....
- connection between hard work and prosperity broken
- random success (buy house in Detroit vs San Francisco)
- 100 guys create company, 1 guy gets 99% of profit
- people are black boxes now (single purpose, interchangeable)
- stupidity/greed/fraud is not punished
- broken invisible hand
The invisible hand requires honesty and transparency to work, neither of which have ever existed in reality.
The invisible hand at least has a chance in an environment filled with local dependencies - shopkeepers depending on shoppers, wives on husbands, factory owners on workers, governments on soldiers, city folks on farmers etc.
Progress changed majority of Americans into consumers dependent on bank accounts and technology. Many can get away with selfishness that is not beneficial to anyone else. Ones that cannot feel angry.
"buy house in Detroit vs San Francisco"
very poignant
Liberals call it a "safety net." The reality is billions lost to bureaucracy to "administer" the program and billions more lost to outright fraud, waste and abuse.
We supposedly added 200,000 jobs last month, but 41% of them were government jobs doing what? Helping people fraudulently sign up for a fraudulent Obamacare?
And how can I even trust that 200,000 number after we now know the census bureau is as politicized and fraudulent as the IRS? They lied about the unemployment numbers before the 2012 elections to make Obama look good. Obama lied about us keeping our medical plans if we liked them to get his fraudulent Obamacare passed with fully half the country against it.
Obama went on the idiot Letterman show and lied to us about Benghazi and the death of an American ambassador. He told us Al Qaeda is on the run when it's stronger than ever. He told us we'd save $2500 on our plans but the costs only go up, that Obamacare would be less than a mere $1 trillion when we know that every government program balloons past the initial lie by a factor.
How hard is it to see the government as an institution and Obama in particular are lying to us on a daily basis?
And you wonder why I don't trust them?
The only fraud here is you. Any dimwit can make accusations based on deluded beliefs with no facts or evidence to back them up. Repetition and conviction don't prove anything except that you are an ignorant bigot.
and you are a coward who is afraid to post your real name and face...but hurl invective at someone else.
Oh the irony. Since he was replying to someone called
guest-sjiwwas shouldn't you condemn them as well. Please also direct me to where I can see your face, I wasn't aware that TE offered this service.
Is that another threat? You bigots can't win arguments based on fact and reality so you resort to personal threats and race war threats. We would respect you more if you just admitted you hate having a Black President instead of exaggerating everything he does out of proportion. Or gridlocking the government because of your blind racism (tea party). A short fellow from Germany with cute mustache tried all of this in the 1930s, he failed. You and your ilk will continue to fail. It is just a flawed ideology based on untruths, and is doomed to failure. Whether you want to fight us, shoot us, sick the dogs on us, hose us, or bomb us; you will not succeed. Use your energy to help solve these problems with us. We are fellow human beings and fellow citizens. We are all genetically alike and come from Africa. Oh I forget, you all are teaching creationism these days. Are there brown people in the Creationist story? Anyway, I am trying to learn from people who are posting constructive ideas. Stop wasting our time with racist rants and threats. I am glad your kids will be different from you.
It oooks as if you have been reading my blog. This post (http://civilhorizon.com/2013/07/31/trust-2/) made exactly the same points - perhaps a bit more elegantly - some time ago.
What's wrong?
Oh let's see... an election hand picked by a news media in absolute lockstep in their desire to get a "historic" IE first black and socialist president.. the GOP never stood a prayer against the billion dollar media rah rah Obama express...
a president who calls the loyal opposition terrorists, hostage takers,.. who yet once spoke of the 57 states he'd been in.. Obama's a hateful, venom throwing dullard who never once in his life, ever had someone tell him no.. and he cannot handle it.. he and the Reid Pelosi AXIS have waged an unholy war against ANYH opposition,.. effectively telling America, if you don't grovel and submit 100% to my every edict and petty whim, I'll just run to daddy media and call you monsters.. and the noneducated low info voter will buy it, for a while..
The shutdown was lied about by the national media since day one, because they actively joined this president in an attempt to destroy the opposition party.. from day one the GOP said, we'll deal.. talk to us.. and from that same day, a fascist thug wannabe president and his pet state approved media lied.. and said it was all because of those republicans who would sit down with him..
You can go back and easily find the many many attempts made by the GOP to end it, and Obama obstructing them every step of the way, desperate to paint the GOP as unAmerican.. something this same vile media would have screeched bloody murder about had Bush ever said that of democrat opposition..
we're a nation under occupation by a thuggish left wing junta..
laws?... he ignores them... or rewrites them with his own pen.. illegal on it's face..
We're being stepped on, abused and harassed by the radical left wing nutjob Obama WH through the DOD IRS and EPA, persecuting Americans just because they hate our politics..
This has never happened..not anything near this degree..
only now, is the left wing media admitting Obama won the election through outright fraud.. he lied epically, dozens of times about his intentions.. and his ruinous plan to enslave every American to the federal government.
and the world wonders... why Americans hate each other?
ask the treasonous left who started this mess, who demagogued us for decades, who routinely commit voting fraud and rig elections.. who lie openly, and without consequences from a worshiping media..
When one side, is both in complete control of academia, the media.. the WH.... and tops that by abuses so severe they'd get ANY republican impeached and thrown in prison...
The future is pretty bleak.. no nation can survive long, when it's ruling political class holds it's own citizens in contempt, and seeks to make opposition a criminal act. The IRS scandal is pure fascism.. the the left makes excuses for it..
cannot understand how that could shake the republic down to it's bones...
they only abused those evil "baggers"... what's the harm.. smirk..
I'm sure they'd be so understanding if a future GOP president did the same to every one of Soros's paid off operations. Dragged HIM into a hearing, persecuted all his political operations, many already shady..
yeah, sure, they'd understand..with the election of Bush.. and even the NYT's admits it.. the left went collectively insane..\
suddenly, they no longer even made a pretense of civility.. it was all hate, all the time.. and the country would be infinitely better off if they all ran to Cuba, where they can live as state vassals as they so dream of.
of course the hospitals suck, and the food is meager.. but they can still cult worship the head of state..
Another deluded rant by a Glenn Beck wannabee.
and you are still afraid to use your own name.
Well put, Mark.
I guess we know what side of the Fence you are speaking
...And never the twain shall meet...and therein lies the
Yeah...Obama is pretty crap, but most of your politicians are.
In the meantime, the best thing you can do ...ALL of you can do , is remove the Fence between yourselves.Talk to each other, agree to agree on those many things you DO agree on mutually.
Unite with your fellow Citizens...
Who wants to bet that Hillary Clinton WILL be the next President of the United States? The decision has already been made. Expect to hear the word "historic". Her expected VP candidate took her chance last time. Now it is her turn.
After the coming second civil war in this country and the 100+ million dead from it, I hope someone takes time to write the history of these days that came before.
The only thing that will forestall this catastrophe will be some sort of major natural disaster.
Ugly times lie on the horizon and are closer than ever.
or world war.
Why bring in other Countries into your mistakes. You have made your bed so now lay in it.
It doesn't matter. A US civil war would probably instigate a word war anyway. And invasion is a good distraction. But you are assuming that conflict won't errupt elsewhere. Any large economic zone tanking might cause it. Europe, Asia.. it doesn't matter. Economies are global now. There is no escape.
War never changes.
The only time the US is going well in the economic area is when they are making things for war and selling them sometimes to both sides.
The US has dragged the Australian people into too many of things that they should have kept their noses out of and let the UN look after it. So for once do your own thing but keep other Countries out of it.
Then again if you had an election system like we have here where everyone has to vote then you would not be getting your Country into trouble and then bringing other Countries into the mess that your Country has made.
I principal I agree. But I am talking about reality, not what one could wish for.
Please lay off the accusatory tone. If I was God for a day, things would get changed up real fast. :)
Liberals (and progressives, socialists, communists, and fascists) have 3 problems. 1) they're arrogant, because they think they know how other people should live; 2) they're ignorant, because they don't know how other people should live; and 3) they're bullies, because they use the government to force people to live according to their rules.
The socialists stole the word "liberal" back in the 1920s - in the United States "The Nation" publication used to be the enemy of big government - hating people such as Richard Ely (then in the 1920s it did a 180).
And you forgot DISHONEST.
For example, pretending to want a "safety net" for a few unfortunates - when they already control half of all health spending (and regulate the other half to bits) and the basic point of Obamacare is to eventually get the vast majority of people dependent on government subsidies.
This is not a "safety net" (how can "Lexington" be so dishonest?) it is a hangman's noose.
You are deluded. Go to recalls.gov and search for "lead paint" and see who the bully is. Companies still sell products with lead paint. Lead paint. It wasn't the government that killed a bunch of people with contaminated steroids or sterile wipes now was it? Please don't give your children vaccines and use unpasteurized dairy products, then we wouldn't have to listen to your mindless drivel.
Another factor is cultural. Americans are fed an endless diet by the media that institutions are inherently corrupt and untrustworthy. Movies, television shows, novels; all depict corrupt politicians, corporations and police. Any time such notions are confirmed in reality, it reinforces the stereotypes that have been created by the media. In addition, as the once robust private citizen societies that De Tocqueville noted were so prevalent and unique to American life have faded, Americans become isolated and, if anything, more vulnerable to the media depiction of how society supposedly works.
When people make vague accusations based on no facts and no evidence, it means that they have no idea what they are talking about.
just as you are, right M4D? Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberal.
I think this goes for most of the developed world. Except in other countries people are not as ignorant and not as easily fooled by the media. Americans are more isolated as well. Americans for the most part do not travel outside of the U.S. (lack of idea exposure). Cheap gas and cheap suburbs allow us to enclave ourselves away from people who do not look like us or share our EXACT political beliefs. We are tribal, just with designer clothes instead of loin clothes. I have lived in 6 countries and have realized that it is much easier to communicate with people in other countries even when they do not look like me or share my political views.
The hierchy of the Democrat party is comprised of political savants who specialize in getting elected and who can't govern: Obama, the Clintons, Kerry, Reid, Pelosi, etc.
It is just a fact that food stamp recipients have doubled under Obama and that recipients are recruited. Disability rolls are skyrocketing. Obamaphones are everywhere. Obama contributors' failing businesses are rewarded with public moneys. Democrats are promoting dependence on government. It is simply not debatable that redistribution of dollars is a Democrat campaign tactic.
We can trust in that, whatever damage it does to the country.
More ignorant bigotry from an ignorant Bagger.
so now you use a sexual reference? Hypocrit.
Clinton could not govern? LBJ? FDR? Or Dubya, Hoover, Reagan?
LBJ - Vietnam, FDR - Great Depression. Clinton was decent at least, although I believe he had the congressional Republicans to thank for much of his fiscal moderation (like Obama).
Vietnam preceeded LBJ, and the Great Depression preceeded FDR.
At best, you can blame LBJ for escalating 'Nam (started by Ike and JFK, especially JFK), but he was a man with some honor and didn't run for office again because he knew it was a mistake. Nixon then pulled some ground troops out but also started bombing more.
You cannot hang the Depression on FDR, it started literally years before he took office in 1933.
The explosion of the Federal superstate into every nook and cranny is substituting law and punishment for local cooperation and liberty. 5% of world population, 25% of incarcerated and felonized and half of all the world's lawyers. When you substitute centralized political and legal power in.place of markets and communities you create immense amounts of fear and rage. For my.part this conservative Christian will never trust anyone in law enforcement again
They are utterly out of control and I am terrified for.my son. We've become a thug country. And most of the thugs have badges.
The President DID lie to get his health law passed. He said, over and over and over again, that those who had health insurance they liked could keep it.
Now many people, of all races, classes, and parties are finding out that was not true and that the president knew it wasn't true the many times he said it.
Who wouldn't be angry about that?
Medicine4theDead wouldn't for him, it's a feature of the law.
Half of all Americans think they own ( collectively) the other half. "Gemeinnutz geht vor eigennutz" They believe that the rights of others end where their feelings begin, and have no respect for the agreements we made as a people in the Constitution, could care less if the people they bully consent, and simply want what they want - and don't care who they must sacrifice, hurt, bully, imprison or enslave to get it. The believe "live and let live" imposes other people's views on them- and they are right - it imposes the view that other people are endowed with rights by their creator and that one group's idea of the common good isn't a excuse to enslave those who don't share it. These people simply want to bend others to their will, and hide that evil from their own hearts by calling it "good intentions" Every single one should be executed as the traitors to the Principles of liberty, the rule of Law and this Country.
Obamacare is not a better way to deliver healthcare. it has nothing to do with care -- it reforms health insurance. Period. And it is all about redistributing money from young and healthy to the old and unhealthy, from male to female, increasing premiums for anyone making over $40K. Only 18% of the uninsured definitely plan to buy it. The rest will pay the mandate "tax". It forces low margin companies to turn fulltime jobs into part time, forces others to drop coverage entirely. In many states it blocks access to the best hospitals and doctors. It reduces healthcare choices for everyone, including the elderly. Conservatives support a safety net -- it's just that the government wants to expand welfare to everybody, so we are all dependent on government, cradle to grave. Maybe Europe loves that. We don't.
Didn't they try that [cradle to grave 5-year plans and everyone (but government workers) just the same] in the old USSR? Worked well didn't it? Lead to a revolution didn't it?
America is badly Broken.
On so many levels and in so many areas, America is breaking down.
On a societal level America is in the middle of a "Cold Civil War"
It is becoming less safe, less happy, less rich, less equal and less
It is not The United States.It is not even a United people.
It is one of the great tragedies of the Modern Age, I hope against
hope that this broken Nation and its warring people see what is
happening and change things before its too late.
If it is already not too late....
If you and the rest of the ignorants leave, we will be on our way to fixing it.
Funny how this desperate situation has come about under our Great Uniter, the One We've Been Waiting For, The Healer of the Planet, The Lowerer of Sea Levels, Barack Hussein Obama The Magnificent.
More mindless drivel from someone too ignorant and too lazy to provide facts and evidence.
But what about "diversity" of thought? Oh...everyone must be in lock-step politically. That's called Fascism...and will end in a dictatorship where a very small ruling elite dictates what the rest of the proletariat does...didn't work in the Soviet Union or in Communist China, Italy or Nazi German, why in the name of all that is good do you think it will work here?
I'm not there. I'm in Australia wondering WHY its getting WORSE. Nothing is being FIXED.
(except perhaps the inevitable outcome that a divisive manipulated Citizenry that seems to care less than it should about what is happening to them and their country will bring...)
But I DO HOPE you Fix it.Its a Tragedy that has gone on for far too long.
lol and Bush also called himself a "uniter, not a divider," didn't he? How'd that work out?
Fact is, you cannot unite people who don't want to be united. On the upside, at least Obama has angered fewer of our allies than Bush did... (and before you drag it out, the NSA spying started under Bush).
And you think we would be in better shape with Romney? or Palin? Goodness gracious. I'm conservative. Can we put up a credible candidate? And please not Jeb. Someone qualified. Someone who can actually read. Someone who has actually worked for a living instead of inheriting their position. What about Condoleeza Rice? How does that suit you Rich, Guest, and all of you other right wingers?

CD Spin Doctor
Full user review
"company mergers leave consumers without support."
Not much....
Many of the features of CD Spin Doctor was have been broken by updates to OS-X. Capture plug in was broken with 10.6.2. This is also when Roxio was acquired by Corel. Spin Doctor X
CD Spin Doctor was part of Toast Titanium 10 (Toast Titanium 11 has Spin Doctor X) Toast was published by Roxio. They were acquired by Corel a few years ago and this product is no longer being supported or updated by Corel/Roxio. CD Spin Doctor was actually not created by Sonic Solutions. Unfortunately Sonic solutions also has been acquired by Rovi.
Based on their website they don't support CD Spin Doctor (Or Spin Doctor X) directly and with Corel leaving Toast by the wayside I can't recommend either of these products.
Of note: Corel does at least make the appearance of trying to support Toast, although their support portal simply runs you in circles without actually finding any answer or being able to submit a ticket about toast.

Our beachside condo is situated a few steps from the beautiful Manasota Key Beach, the sea and pool can be seen from the main bedroom. There is a heated commuity pool. Plus a hot tub, tennis court and boat dock too. There are restaurants and a couple of shops within walking distance. The beach is quiet as there is no public access. It is on the second floor and has a loft area with two beds.
There are plenty of golf courses nearby, tennis court on the complex and a short walk to restaurants and a convenience store and beach store. The public beach is a short walk away with basketball, volleyball and water sports in the summer months. Orlando is a 2 and half hour drive away, Tampa is 1 and three quarter hours away, and Port Charlotte with restaurants and a mall is about 25 minutes away. Sarasota and Venice are also within easy reach. Ellenton outlet mall is a 50 minute drive. The beach is glorious and unspoilt not many people as there is not public access, lovely walks and shell collecting.

These shore break photos are from Makena Beach, Maui. The water at Makena is absolutely crystal clear with a beautiful sand beach and in my opinion, is the best beach in the world. Be careful of the shore break when it gets bigger as the wave packs a punch and breaks top to bottom on the shallow sand. Photos taken with a GoPro Hero2.

Wow the matching tattoo and hair, the fish in the hair, the use of black and white skin- the balance in this piece is amazing! Your work is an inspiration.
I saw that yours and others artwork has been stolen from http://instagram.com/artoncase . Check it out. Maybe A watermark of some sort could prevent that...
I was thinking if s6 put a watermark on everything before purchasing and take it of after...Like that no one want to use another ones work.....
No watermarks please!! I appreciate your help with the stolen case but unfortunately this kind of thing will continue to happen, regardless of wether people start using watermarks or not. A thieving company that thinks it can really make money on a design, is going to get their hands on it quite easily, even if that means them making a one off purchase of a smaller print. Watermarks just serve to make work look ugly. I feel very strongly about this and really hope S6 keep our work watermark free.
This is absolutely phenomenal!!! The line work and the shapes are so original and so beautiful. This is incredibly detailed and really just stunning. Sorry to hear someone stole your work and claimed it as their own, though. That really stinks. Well glad to see it hasn't stopped you from creating and sharing beautiful works like this! :) Much respect.

The economic policies of the Obama administration are "beating the clock" on the long road out of the recession, former President Bill Clinton said Sunday night at his first-ever joint fundraising event with the current president.
"If you go back 500 years, whenever a country's financial system collapses, it takes between five and 10 years to get back to full employment," he said, reminding the crowd the market downturn of September 2008 occurred mere months before Obama assumed office.
President Clinton credits the stimulus and restructuring of the American auto industry for stabilizing the economic recovery. Opponents maintain positive growth has come too slowly, and in some cases in spite of the president's policies.
"Somebody will say to you, maybe, 'but I don't feel better.' And you say, look, the man's not Houdini; all he can do is beat the clock," Clinton said.
Clinton introduced President Obama at a reception and dinner for well-heeled donors of the campaign at the Virginia home of Terry McAuliffe, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee. McAuliffe tells ABC News at least $3 million was raised for his party, which saw ticket costs starting at $1,000 a person for the reception and $20,000 for the smaller banquet event.
President Obama's remarks followed a similar path as Clinton, but toward the end focused squarely on the Republican Party and its presumptive presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. Seeking to paint the GOP has having strayed too far right from their traditional center, Obama repeated claims that even Ronald Reagan could not find a place among his contemporaries.
"Here's a guy who raised taxes. That in and of itself would have rendered him unelectable in a Republican primary," Obama said.
Telling donors he had just spent three years "cleaning up after other folks' messes" abroad, the president suggested Romney had an antiquated, Cold War view of foreign affairs.
"You've got the leading contender, the presumptive nominee, on the other side suddenly saying our number one enemy isn't al Qaeda, it's Russia," Obama said. "Maybe I didn't check the calendar this morning. I didn't know we were back in 1975."
President Obama's first official campaign rallies begin this weekend.
This morning the Romney campaign continued its dueling economic message in rebuttal of the event. Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg tells ABC News the president "promised" to keep unemployment below 8 percent, running against the predictions of a January 2009 administration report on the severity of the recession.
"President Obama may be able to convince his friends to tout the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression, but the American people deserve better," she said.
10:20 AM: This blog has been updated with a response from the Romney campaign.

After a long shoot, lather up with camera soap
If your point-and-shoot needs to stay clean, you should, too. Enter this spearmint-scented soap.
These days, most retails shops bundle a cleaning kit when you purchase a camera. So if your point-and-shoot needs to stay clean, you should, too. And if you're a devout shutterbug who eats, lives, and breathe photography, perhaps you should take a second look at this camera-shaped soap.
Rob and Megan Green, otherwise known as stinkybomb on the online store Etsy, are selling this homemade soap for $10. The soap is made from an Olympus compact mold and modified to show the duo's label.
Available in spearmint scent in pink, yellow, and green, it should leave you refreshed for the next photo shoot.

Translate this page 8th annual Can-Do Day to honor local studentsFriday, March 7th, 2014 Issue 10, Volume 18.
This day is about honoring local students who demonstrate the can-do spirit, described by Ronald Wilson Reagan on March 3, 1983 when he spoke of the folks in Temecula as having a can-do spirit. The words appear on the Can-Do Monument that stands near the snack bar fronting Rancho Vista Rd. FRRSP built and donated the monument to the city last February. Each year, 3rd and 4th grade students from the Temecula Valley Unified SchoolâDistrict, as well as private schools and home-schooled students, are invited to enter an essay contest answeringâ the question: "Why is individual initiative important, and why do we honor President Reagan and theâ Temecula volunteers who built our first sports park?" This year, many students put their heartsâ and minds into their effort and it was very evident in the quality of their work. First prize of $150 goes to the 3rd or 4th grader with the best response. Second place gets $100 and 3rd place, $50. Community Little Book publishes the essays of the top three prize winners in the next issue of Community Little Book. The top three students at each school with three or more Advertisement In addition, a Temecula or Murrieta high school senior will be awarded the Medallion of Initiative and a $500 scholarship for submitting an essay that offers a compelling, true, personal story of individual initiative. A Rancho Elementary School Character Building Group, comprised of students from grades 1 through 3, will use music, dance and drama to focus on an important character trait. The CBGs, as the group is called, is directed by Anne ODonnell-McCann, a Rancho Elementary School teacher, and Stacy Senecal, a parent. Another teacher, Teresa Heine of Temecula Prep, will talk about her visit to the Discovery Center at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, where her 8th grade students took part in a simulated crisis that occurred during the Reagan Administration. The students played the roles of the decision-makers, including the President, as they re-enacted the crisis. The experience was underwritten by the FRRSP. Also part of this event is the presentation of the Mayors Trophy which is awarded to the school with the greatest number of qualified entries in the essay contest for the 3rd and 4th graders.

WEAPONS such as knuckledusters, flick knives and stun guns would become much harder to import under a re-elected Gillard government.
Switching the election focus to law and order, Labor will release a list of 22 weapons it will effectively ban.
Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor told the Herald Sun it would help make streets safer.
"It will mean fewer fatalities and injuries by knives and other weapons," he said.
