Not Good Enough
What Ignatieff completely missed in stating the case for Israel, it really isn't about Hamas anymore, it's a human tragedy that's completely morphed into something else, well beyond positions, policy or ideology. The fact that Ignatieff, who has championed human rights, an impressive pedigree, can't articulate some nuance here and argue a forceful case for the immediate concern, is simply not good enough. All the comments read like a robotic script, borne of misguided political correctness. In trying to put of the message that Liberals support Israel, Ignatieff ends up sounding as rigid as Harper. And yes, when we finally get a whiff, that the new American administration will return to a more balanced perspective, to hear Ignatieff is even more bothersome.
Part of me completely understands, and really Ignatieff doesn't gain much politically from singing off key, in fact he loses, so... That said, it's one of those important moments, when I want to get the sense of some leadership, rather than safe answers which fail to acknowledge some other truths, that don't quite jive with all the justifications. Saying the rockets must stop before the kids stop bleeding (and let's please dispense with any credible argument that it's "surgical" or "measured" now, the theatre doesn't even entertain the possibility) is pretty much acres away from my little section of the BIG tent. Not a highlight moment, today.

I think all progressive Liberals (damn - are we a subset now?) need to write to Ignatieff and express our disappointment and dissatisfaction with his position. I'll be composing my letter tomorrow.

Yeah, even though I tend not to go with either side too heavily on this, I'm not very impressed either.
Hamas needs to cut the crap, but Israel seems to relish going overboard...and it pisses me off.
It's just not a black and white issue and I'd prefer that the Liberals stop treating it as such. Black and white is Conservative territory and I didn't give money to them.

The sad thing is that with the exception of the brave ones like Steve V, Jim Curran, Scott Ross, and Jennifer Smith, just about every Liberal who might be privately displeased with the change in stance on Israel from Ignatieff (who thought Israel committed war crimes in Qana but adopts the 100% opposite view now -will the REAL Iggy please stand up?) will likely stay 100% quiet.
A clear message is being sent out: Liberals who don't toe the line can expect to mocked and derided by the likes of Kinsella, Levant, and the National Post (see Kelly McFarland's article here and Kinsella's here).
It's amazingly unfortunate that the party of Lloyd Axworthy who put Canada on the map for human rights leadership has become a party afraid to speak out forcefully on the issue today. But it is what it is I'm sure Axworthy, and Alan Rock and Chretien (not to mention at least a dozen in caucus) are privately shaking their heads, but it will stay that way, IN PRIVATE.
You won't see Rodriguez or others at any rallies this time, but I'm sure this won't go over very well in Quebec, but maybe Ignatieff will go on "Tout le Monde en Parle" again and straighten the whole thing out again like he did last time with the war in Lebanon (I won't hold my breath though).
Don't expect too many non-anon people to back you up on your view Steve.

I should add that I am someone who believes that Israel was 100% justified in starting this, just like I believe we were 100% justified in going into Afghanistan.
But if Canadian soldiers fired on a UN school (even if Taliban soldiers were hiding out inside) and a UN truck delivering supplies and the International Red Cross and Amnesty International were acusing us of war crimes (by not letting them get to injured civilians), I would expect the Liberals would speak up loudly about that, so why should we adopt a different standard than we would for OUR own country?
Why should we be ridiculed or called anti-semitic for doing so? I believe the mission was JUST but that it has been bungled by some freaked out (perhaps understandably) soldiers. Just like Abu Graib in Iraq and bombed wedding and schools in Afghanistan have harmed our efforts there. But just because the mission has not gone anywhere near as well as expected (at least in terms of civilian and humanatarian toll) doesn't mean we HAVE to turn a blind eye to the mistakes that have been made by Israeli soldiers. Pointing out these mistakes doesn't even mean we are directly blaming the Israeli government.
BUT We should stand up against human rights abuses whereever they occur and hold those who perpetrated them accountable. We are doing that ourselves with a soldier of our in Afghanistan and the US did with Abu Graihb. I hope the same will happen here.
War is not easy and we always expect casualities, but we have to be willing to accept that no country is infallible and deadly mistakes happen and should be addressed.
That was way too long of a rant but I wanted to clarify some things from the last comment to be clear...
- 2:04 AM, January 09, 2009

As a FINAL point I'm not saying Israeli solidiers have done anything on the scale of Abu Grhaib (bc they haven't even close) or that Canadian soldier on trial accused of shooting an unarmed Taliban insurgent, just that when mistakes by our soldiers happened they were held accountable. I hope there will be a full investigation and people will be willing to admit mistakes were made (even if they did seem partially justified) and hold those responsible fully accountable.
i've said more than enough now...

Morton's Musings has posted the whole exchange on his blog. Is your criticism based on a reading of everything Michael said, or just what was excerpted by CP?
If your criticism is based on the whole thing, or if you maintain your view after reading the whole thing, fair enough. I just want to make sure everyone hears everything Michael said without the filter of the media.

This one quote by Ignatieff convinced me, that he is still the same unreformed imperialist who thinks it is ok to torture people in pursuit of lesser evilism:
"Israel has been attacked from Gaza, not just last year, but for almost 10 years. They evacuated from Gaza so there is no occupation in Gaza."
its no different than Peter Kent's hateful, blame-the-victim on the Israeli tank attack against a UN school yesterday:
"Hamas bears a terrible responsibility for this and for the wider deepening humanitarian tragedy."
I really would like to know why these weak politicians are so fearful of the Israeli lobby, so much so that they have lost any shred of moral decency that they would not even acknowledge the death of hundreds of innocent children. Shame.

Before reading your post, Steve, I had just read MoS's & posted this in the comments which I will just paste here rather than re-write.
"I, too, have a heavy heart & great disappointment in Ignatieff. I've said it before & I'll say it again:
Ignatieff & Harper are looking inter-changeable to me - especially in Foreign Affairs.
It's too much when instead of speaking to truth he (MI) speaks as a politician not wanting to lose certain "ethnic" votes. Harper too. That's what I think it's all about.
Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself. No doubt whatsoever about that. BUT the carnage being wrought on the citizens, the Palestinians, is brutal in the extreme. These people are unable to leave the war zone as they are locked in on all sides by the Israeli's as well as Egypt now, too, at the request of Israel.
In time we will find out more of the truth of what has been done, & will be done, in Gaza. There are already reports on unnecessary actions/bombings/killings done by the IDF & not allowing access, for days at a time, for the ICRC to aid victims.
I do NOT support Hamas & their actions either. But the over-kill, literally, by the IDF is mind-numbing. Western nations could step up to the plate & demand that this mess stop, but they all sit on their morals & defend Israel's actions. I am speaking from a humanitarian viewpoint here. I do not want to see anyone slaughtered anywhere in the world - including Gaza & Israel."

Hmmmm, I'm wondering. Obama said he'll have plenty to say about the situation once he takes his oath. Samantha Powers is a very close friend of Ignatieff (both human rights arena). She and her husband are part of Obama's team.
US has not been backing the UN at this point.
...so, I'm curious if US policy will change on this once Obama is in and how this will affect Canada.
- 9:02 AM, January 09, 2009
- catherine said...
There have been some reports that Obama may open up lines of communication with Hamas. If so, that would be a significant shift. Right now, Ignatieff's statements about Hamas are a statement of the reality in Canada - they are listed as a terrorist organization and any dealings with them is illegal. That could change.

No one on this board has yet to say how Israel goes about getting rid of the thousands of rockets and tunnels and weapons that Hamas is still in control of? Its almost like you guys live in a make believe world. Pick one, because, there are only two options, Hamas and Iran and Hezbollah and Syria have all seen to it. Either you allow Israel to go in and remove the weapons and rockets, or, allow Hamas to continue to fire into Israel. The 3rd option of a total cease fire can never happen until Iran decides that a Palestinian's life is actually worth something. There's a reason the NDP normally get about 15% of voter support, and its because they have the ability to shade what should be a black and white issue with a vision of the world that does not yet exist...it was a shame to see th LPC in that same NDP mindset. Iggy's got alot of work to do.
- 9:18 AM, January 09, 2009
- catherine said...
On reading the reports, I see they are suggesting Obama will open up clandestine communications with Hamas and speculating that it may never be openly confirmed. For example, he may use the CIA for this. In that case, it is not clear what effect this would have on Canada's position. Most of the real work is done in secret and real progress could be achieved that way, bu it doesn't give one much of an idea of what Obama will be saying in public.

Why can't progressive LIberals see that they are a rump in their own party? I really do feel for you folks but get frustrated because even though I find myself often agreeing with your positions and values the fact that you keep supporting a party that only gives your positions and values lip service means that we keep getting either gravely disappointing liberal governments or scary conservative governments.
I find it baffling because many of you would feel more at home in the NDP (based on the posts and comments I have read) but continue to prop up the LPC, a party that doesn't deserve your loyalty IMHO.
I was deeply disappointed by the Bob Rae govt and its handling of a couple of key policies (e.g. LGBT rights, auto insurance) so I know that feeling and you have my sincere sympathies.

- Steve V said...
I've read the whole exchange and it doesn't change my view, particularly when Ignatieff himself acknowledges "no military" solution. If that's true, which it is, then how do support a military exercise, which can't achieve its goal, but in the process kills scores of innocents.
What has frankly drove me over the deep end, the Liberal Party doesn't seem to want to touch the outrageous responses with "a ten foot pole". I understand well all the underlying reasons for supporting Israel, and I think Hamas is a terrorist scourge, but that becomes less relevant with each passing day, because what is happening now is a complete and utter tragedy. People can comfort themselves all they want with justifications, but I wonder their view if they actually had to walk in hell for a few days, I suspect the detached philosophical assertions would evaporate. I'm watching what's happening on the ground, and some of it is indefensible.

Anon 1h23 very interesting comment.
I recall not long ago seeing the likes of Pablo Rodriguez, Denis Coderre and so-called rising star Brigitte Legault in parades with Hezbollah supporters flags in tow, attending Press Conferences with Hezbollah sympathizers.
I pray that Iggy has enough common sense to keep these individuals behind the Wizard's curtain.

If you read Layton's statement on this - they're all talking pretty much the same and I think they're waiting for Obama.

A very disappointing response from Ignatieff, not really unexpected though. A shame.

wheee rumor dispelling time
Denis Coderre and Brigitte Legault were at the rally.
Pablo Rodriguez was not.
I was there along with the rest of the Quebec Young Liberals to show support for one of our exec members, who lost a friend in the conflict.
The march was a march for peace. 2 hezbollah flags in a crown of 10 000 does not make it a hezbollah march.
One of the flags was carried by famous separatist Pierre Falardeau's little crony. Does that make all separatists in the parade Hezbollah sympathizers?
It's crazy Zionist propaganda. When Israelis want peace, they can kill civilians at will. Whn Canadians march for peace, they are terrorist sympathizers?

Israel's tactics are unacceptable, plain and simple.
I agree, but its also equally unacceptable that Hamas stores weapons and munitions in schools and mosques, and then purposely attack the IDF from those facilities in order to knowingly elicit, what they know is going to be a heavy handed response, for propaganda purposes.
The IDF went too far and Hamas could care less. That is my position.
Both sides were expecting, and preparing for this, in the lead up to the end of the truce in December.
I'm also somewhat disappointed with Ignatieff's response, (but am completely impressed so far by his economic talk). That tour is coming out to Vancouver and you can bet he will hear similar comments to those made by good independent minded liberals like Steve V.

"The IDF went too far and Hamas could care less. That is my position."
Exactly. And, all I would like to see is some recognition of "too far", as opposed to parroting a particular lobby within the Liberal family.

Apart from the one-sided perspective, we get this nugget at the end of the piece:
"That seems unlikely now that they are under attack, and the natural reaction is to rally around the green flag of Hamas."
So, the goal is to hurt Hamas, but even the apologists acknowledge that such operations only drive more Palestinians towards Hamas. That sentence is a complete and utter acknowledgement of failure, and yet it's the same routine everytime. The nature of the action negates success, it's that simple and even the defenders seem to have a sense, so why again??

Brigitte Legault - what a flop she was.
Even her private fundraiser with Paul Martin sucked...
In the election she was outclassed and outsmarted even before it started...
I'm glad she lost... It was ironic getting emails from her various private accounts, if she can't get that right image her trying to run something....

Why wonder? Ignatieff said he has walked in that hell:
I don't want to minimize -- let me be clear -- don't want to minimize the human suffering in Gaza. I have been to Gaza. I have been to refugee camps personally.
Face it: Ignatieff's critics were right. The man supports empire lite and torture lite. And now he is leader of the Liberal Party.
He has personally seen the suffering in Gaza, just like he saw the suffering of the Kurds in Iraq. In the case of the Kurds, this emotional experience triggered his support for the Iraq war (so he says).
But his "walking the ground" in Gaza triggered no such emotional commitment to their innate human rights. Why is this?
Could it be that some people have more human rights than others (depending on what side of the empire they're on)? This is what Ignatieff has always been saying, if you cared to look.
You "progressive" Liberals are getting a much-needed wakeup call. I don't envy you.

As always, your comments are measured and clearly the product of careful consideration, which is unfortunately in short supply on both sides of this issue. I've been reading your blog since mid-2006 and think it's head and shoulders above the rest on Liblogs, even if I sometimes disagree with you. Keep up the great work.

Hi Marcin,
Let me know if you are still looking for someone to hit., I stay in Arlington and I could play after 5pm weekdays.

"With the Dell Streak 7 and LG G-Slate already headed Magenta's way, and the Galaxy Tab 2 already being teased by Samsung, T-Mobile has decided to give the current Galaxy Tab another price cut."
Well, I guess $50 is $50 even if it takes eight months to get it. Looks like as of today T-Mobile has drop the price of their Samsung Galaxy Tab by $50 bringing the total price down to $249.99 after mail-in rebate. If you don't mind that whole 2-year service agreement, that is a pretty good price for one of the best Android tablets currently on the market. Though, this price drop is most likely due to the fancy 4G tablets T-Mo has floating down the line. Is $50 enough to convince any of you who have been holding off on getting a Galaxy Tab or an Android tab in general to take the plunge?

The last time I visited Tijuana was in 1994 when I was traveling with then Vice President Al Gore to attend the groundbreaking of a water treatment plant on the U.S. side of the border that protects the region's water resources. At that time, I was a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State with primary responsibility for U.S. policy toward Mexico. As we were busy implementing what was then a new trade agreement, NAFTA, I made frequent trips to the border region and learned to appreciate the deep ties between our two countries.
When my friend Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow invited me to speak at the Institute of the Americas Hemispheric Forum on Freedom of Expression in San Diego, I decided to visit Tijuana as well. I wanted to see for myself how much the San Diego-Tijuana region had developed over the past 15 years and wanted to hear from Consulate staff their impressions about working along the border, as well as to recognize the work they do. Crossing into Tijuana at the San Ysidro border, the busiest land crossing in the world, reminded me that a million people cross every day to work, study, visit family and friends, shop, or conduct meetings. Trade between our two countries has exploded since my last visit. U.S. exports to Mexico have nearly tripled, and Mexican exports to the United States have more than quadrupled. The dismantling of trade barriers and the opening of markets have led to economic growth and rising prosperity in both countries.
Our diplomatic representation in Tijuana has grown along with the deepening of our bilateral relationship. The Consulate General still handles a huge consular workload -- hundreds of visa applicants every day and some of the most complex American citizen services in the world -- but it has also transformed into a platform for a wide range of political, economic, and security engagement and a regional hub for law enforcement cooperation. The staff of the Consulate General outgrew their current facilities long ago and are waiting for their new, ultra-modern "green" Consulate to open later this summer. Tijuana is now a more dynamic city than many Americans realize. I enjoyed meeting with a group of young civil society leaders at the Consul General's residence to discuss the role of youth in community development in Mexico and the United States. My lunch with security, energy, and tourism officials of the Baja State government allowed me to hear what Baja is doing to deal with the problems of narco-violence, to develop job and business opportunities in the alternative energy sector, and to promote tourism. I also had the chance to visit a grade school in Tijuana to see how a group of Mexican high school students who participated in the Jóvenes en Acción exchange program were using what they learned in the United States to benefit their neighbors. These students were passionate about giving back to their community and again proved the benefits of exchange programs in public diplomacy.
My visit to Tijuana vividly showed what a wide-ranging and productive relationship we have with Mexico. Beyond cooperation on immigration and drug trafficking, we are working together on cross-border energy and environmental programs. Mexican students are studying in the United States, thousands of American citizens reside in and retire to Baja, and tens of thousands cross the San Diego-Tijuana border each day to visit friends or go shopping. President Obama has said that the fates of the United States and Mexico are more intertwined than ever before. What I saw in Tijuana definitely supports that statement.

Palgye in South Korea writes:
Mexico to eliminate drugs in order to realize that everyone knows what to think. Problem to consume a product of the consumer class does not exist Indeed, what I left watching the documentary geotinde thought, argued in the past, but the people of Mexico, creating a commercially available product is thought to be supplied. Poverty relief program implemented, while To build a new house, no money to buy materials, construction spending in a year, and still think it was in the building.
Pricing for the new approach is needed. The location of the manufacturer, but should be approached from a position of consumers think.
Poverty leads to crime.
PST in the U.S.A. writes:
The bi-lateral relationship between the US and Mexico will forever be growing and important. It is disappointing that a majority of the time when the relations between the US and Mexico are mentioned in the media it tends to surround drugs, gangs, violence and illegal immigrants and not highlight wonderful initiatives such as NAFTA and other programs supporting the relations between the two countries. I believe continuing investment in the bi-lateral relationship is key and our diplomatic representation in Mexico is an essential component for promoting both US and Mexican economies. The need for a new larger consulate shows that we must continue investing in our diplomatic ties with Mexico as they are proving to be successful. I also believe that investment in cross-border programs for green-energy is important as environmental issues have no boarders and are global issues.
Renato E.L. in Mexico writes:
I am glad that the news and views that exist in Tijuana not only issues that have to do with the insecurity which, I believe that as a youth and many others will agree with me, it is important to know that government cares about environment, and especially for us young people who study and certainly the opportunity to gain knowledge both in terms of Mexico as research stays in the U.S. gives us the opportunity to acquire knowledge of new technologies; also allows us to understand way of thinking and being of the people of a country other than ours and that the conically somehow allows us to imitate their standard of living as many as Mexicans is what we want to be here, see the streets clean and power conferred in authorities.
Maggy D. in Wisconsin writes:
While it's comforting to hear good news concerning U.S.-Mexico diplomatic ties, especially in a border town such as Tijuana, it is hard while reading this post to forget the realities of the Mexican drug wars and related deaths and violence. Beheadings, ransom kidnappings and shootouts in Tijuana remain far too regular. I do appreciate, however, Assistant Secretary Valenzuela's discussion of efforts to improve civil institutions in Tijuana. Of particular importance is engaging youth in educational and community development opportunities to ensure their access to opportunities besides drug cartels. Children are the future, and offering them alternatives to gangs at an early age is vital to ensuring a more secure Mexican society.

Pocono Mountain West coach Stacy Perryman knows what's working against her team and in her opponent's favor.
Pocono Mountain West coach Stacy Perryman knows what's working against her team and in her opponent's favor.
When the top-seeded Panthers meet No. 4 Bangor in the semifinals of the District 11 Class AAAA girls basketball playoffs at 7:30 p.m. at Stroudsburg tonight it will be new territory for West.
The Panthers (22-3) had never won a district quarterfinal game under Perryman and hadn't been to the district semifinals since 2006, the season before Perryman took over for Rose Haller.
Meanwhile, the Slaters (19-5) are the defending district champs who returned plenty of experience from last season's title team.
"They've been here and we know that their experience is going carry them through," said Perryman, who has guided the Panthers to a pair of Mountain Valley Conference championships in seven years. "We haven't (been here) so we have to combat that with our energy and come in focused on the game plan."
PM West struggled in the quarterfinals with pesky eighth-seeded Northampton before pulling away late.
The Konkrete Kids, who had lost to the Panthers by 18 on Jan. 19, had a chance to take the lead with a pair of free throws early in the fourth quarter, but missed both and saw the Panthers put the game away with a 16-5 run.
"Things change when you play teams two or three times," said West senior guard Ramonia Benitez, who is seven points away from 1,000 for her career. "It gets tougher. We came out kind of sluggish, but we did good at the end."
Here's a closer look at tonight's game:
vs. No. 4 Bangor
What: District 11 Class AAAA semifinals; winner plays winner of No. 2 Nazareth-No. 3 Parkland in finals Friday; winner clinches PIAA playoff berth; loser plays for PIAA playoff berth against loser of No. 2 Nazareth-No. 3 Parkland in consolation game Friday.
When: 7:30 p.m. tonight.
Where: Stroudsburg High School.
Records: PM West 22-3, 12-0 Mountain Valley Conference champions; Bangor 19-5, 9-1 Colonial League North Division.
Coaches: Stacy Perryman, PM West (7th year, 108-67); Bill Bisci, Bangor (1st year, 19-5).
Head-to-head: No meeting.
Road to semifinals: PM West beat No. 8 Northampton 46-38 in the quarterfinals; Bangor beat No. 5 East Stroudsburg South 57-37 in the quarterfinals.
Last year's D-11 results: PM West lost to Pleasant Valley in quarterfinals, beat ES South in first round; Bangor beat Liberty in finals, beat Whitehall in semifinals, beat Northampton in quarterfinals, beat Pocono Mountain East in first round.
PM West's probable starters: G Jackie Benitez (14.3 points per game), G Ramonia Benitez (12.9), G Jasmine Murray (2.5), F Steph Davis (9.2), F Naomi Jimenez (4.9).
PM West's key reserves: G Kira Flaherty (1.5), F Sicole Walters (2.2).
Bangor's probable starters: G Nicole Baker (3.5), G Meredith Colton (4.3), G Brianna Bisci (7.3), F Morgan McCollian (14.1), F Chandler Zungolo (7.7).
Bangor's key reserves: Taylor Domenech (2.6), Tori Renna (2.9).
Points of interest: The Benitez sisters and Davis — who were All-MVC first-team picks — have combined to hit 114 3-pointers. ... McCollian, one of three unanimous All-Colonial League first teamers, went over 1,000 points earlier this season. ... The Panthers have won five straight and 13 of their last 14 games. ... Bangor is 2-0 against the MVC, beating East Stroudsburg North and ES South. ... Colton, a junior, was the District 11 Class AAA cross country champion this past fall. She then earned a medal in the state meet by placing 24th.

This young lady was one of the cleaning crew at Pitti Uomo.
She wore the same green uniform as all the other young cleaning ladies but, as you can imagine, she was the only one that really stood out in that crowd.
Of course I really don't know anything about her but her stylistic choices for her hair, piercings, etc. give us a good place to start.
Uniforms are, by nature, an attempt to make people conform to a code. I always find it interesting when people are able to play within the set boundaries of a code while still not totally losing their own uniqueness.

Washington gets some credit for hammering out a last-minute deal to keep us from falling off the fiscal cliff. But the deal addresses only the easier of two parts � taxes � while ignoring the harder part � spending.
Washington gets some credit for hammering out a last-minute deal to keep us from falling off the fiscal cliff. But the deal addresses only the easier of two parts � taxes � while ignoring the harder part � spending.
The deal was worked out primarily between the White House and Republican leaders in the Senate after negotiations with House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama fell apart. It focused primarily on preventing a tax increase for middle income taxpayers due to the expiration of cuts passed in 2001 and 2003.
Most of the tax debate was over the definition of middle income. It eventually was decided that it would include anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
But even among the four Republicans, the Arkansas delegation split its votes, with Sen. John Boozman and Rep. Steve Womack voting for it, and Congressmen Tim Griffin and Rick Crawford against it.
�I am proud that we were able to come to an agreement to prevent the largest tax hike in American history. This bipartisan solution tackles the financial troubles our country is facing while avoiding tax increases for Arkansas families and small businesses,� said Boozman, pointing out that the deal makes 90 percent of the Bush tax cuts permanent.
Making the tax cuts permanent is certainly a silver lining. It also makes permanent several others quirks in the tax law, such as the indexing of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) � originally passed in 1982 in an attempt to prevent high-income taxpayers from using various exemptions and deductions to pay a low effective tax rate.
But Congress, which suffered from myopia even back in 1982, did not add an automatic inflationary adjustment to the rates, which meant Congress would wrangle annually over adjusting rates to prevent reverting back to 1982 levels before finally passing an �AMT patch.�
At least the new deal will put a stop to some of that recurring nonsense.
But the bigger fight on the fiscal cliff was not the tax debate but the spending debate. For the most part, the tax compromise was easily predictable; they just split the difference on what Democrats and Republicans wanted to do.
The decision over what to do with the automatic spending was simply postponed by two months and now will occur about the same time the debt ceiling will be reached, which will add to the drama.
�While there are some positive aspects to the Senate version of the legislation, including the permanent extension of those tax cuts for most Americans, we must stop our out-of-control spending and piling more debt on the heads of our children and grandchildren,� Griffin said in announcing opposition to the deal. �I have supported every single major bipartisan agreement proposed by the president, the Senate majority leader and House speaker since I was elected, but this one is a bridge too far.�
Spending cuts are where the rubber meets the road in reducing the size of government. Unlike state government in Arkansas, where deficit spending is not allowed, the federal government has shown no apprehension to continue to borrow trillions.
While most politicians give lip service to reducing the deficit, their actions have proven they are ready and willing to continue to borrow when everyone knows it is not sustainable.
Both sides seem unwilling to tell people what everyone knows to be true: We can no longer afford to lower taxes and increase spending. Any common sense proposal usually results in criticism from both sides.
Congressman Crawford experienced that when he suggested a few months back a tax increase on incomes over $1 million in exchange for a balanced budget amendment. That idea is sounding a bit more palatable now after a tax hike on those with income over $400,000 with no spending cuts in sight.
Buckle up. Fiscal cliff round two is only a few weeks off, and this time it is the hard part.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The United Nations Wednesday urged Haitians to ignore unofficial results from the country's elections and wait for the official tally to be announced next week.
"The Provisional Electoral Council should be granted the time and political stability needed to complete its work, the results of which will then be subject to any eventual dispute from candidates, political parties and the Haitian people through legal procedures for settling the issue," the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti said in a release Tuesday night.
"Quick counts or opinion polls are not an exact science. The population and media should not be guided by unofficial results, speculation or purported partial counts which are circulating at the moment."
Haiti's presidential and legislative elections Sunday were chaotic with two-thirds of the 18 presidential candidates saying the whole process was so rife with fraud the results should be tossed.
The final tallies are to be announced next Tuesday by the country's electoral council.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for a quick end to the electoral crisis, saying it threatens to destabilize the poverty-stricken Caribbean island that has been slow to recover from a punishing earthquake last January and now is dealing with a deadly cholera epidemic.
The United Nations has had nearly 12,000 military and police personnel deployed across Haiti since mid-2004 after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide went into exile amid violent unrest.

Most train users unaware of rights, says rail regulator
Most train passengers are unaware of their rights to compensation after cancellations or delays, the rail regulator has said.
As many as 75% of those using Britain's railways do not know enough about claiming money back, said the study for the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).
For example, passengers choosing not to travel after a delay or cancellation are entitled to a full refund.
In response, the industry admitted that more needed to be done.
In addition to being unaware of their rights, the study found that 74% of passengers thought train operators did not do enough to inform people about how to claim compensation.
Some passengers said such information should be displayed more prominently on websites or posters.
"We want to see that passengers are treated fairly, receive the quality of service they pay for, and when this is not the case, can hold their service providers to account," said Anna Walker, the chairperson of the ORR.
But the industry defended its record.
"Compensation has become increasingly generous and easier to apply for in recent years," said Michael Roberts, the director general of the Rail Delivery Group (RDG).
He said the amount of money paid out in compensation to passengers for train delays rose by £3m in one year alone, and that punctuality was improving.
In 2012-13, the RDG said more than 90% of trains arrived on time.
But it admitted that more could be done to help passengers know their rights.
Among them is the right to claim a refund when a train is cancelled or delayed. If you decide not to travel in such circumstances, you are entitled to all your money back.
If you decide to go ahead with the journey, and the train arrives late, you are still entitled to compensation.
Each operator sets its own rates, but passengers arriving one hour late are entitled to a minimum 20% rebate.
Code of practice
Earlier this week, the consumer group Which? found that customer satisfaction with Britain's train network was "shockingly low".
The survey of 7,000 passengers found that 11 of the 19 train companies it investigated had customer satisfaction rates of less than 50%.
The poorest operators were Greater Anglia and Southeastern, both of which scored just 40%.
The best operator was Merseyrail.
The ORR said that later this year, it would introduce a new code of practice on ticket information.
The code will clarify information about fares and restrictions, as well as compensation and refund rights.
The Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) has also developed a "toolkit" to help train companies make passengers more aware of how they can claim compensation.
At the moment, each train operator also publishes its own separate customer charter.

Retiring after 27 years: Jim Gilleran has left the building (department)
With 27 years of service to the town behind him, Building Official Jim Gilleran said goodbye Tuesday at a retirement gathering in Sullivan-Independence Hall, surrounded by co-workers, local developers and, of course, "Flat Jimmy."
While Gilleran's knowledge of the building codes was well known, he was also famous among employees of the municipal office building for his love of Christmas. Each year, he'd spend the Thanksgiving break decorating the Building Department's second-floor office with train sets, Santa Claus, Christmas stockings and whirling mobiles.
This year, a door-decorating contest was held and Gilleran served as the judge. The winner was the Health Department, which created "Flat Jimmy," a cardboard cutout of Gilleran which was photographed at various locales throughout town. "I think we're going to have to make more of them," Gilleran said. "Everybody's been asking for one."
In retirement, Gilleran said he plans to make the most of two of his passions -- golf and music -- but he has also started his own consulting company.
The business "will be helping people with getting permits and things like that," he said, especially homeowners who want to serve as their own general contractors.
After 27 years in the Building Department, 16 of them at its helm, Gilleran said he will miss all the people he worked with. He won't, he said, miss "the people you do the most for that don't appreciate it."
In addition to serving as the town building official, Gilleran was also the blight prevention officer, a job he said will likely be given to his successor, Tom Conley. Conley has served as an electrical inspector for the department, and is a former Representative Town Meeting member.
Gilleran said he has advised Conley to make sure to press the RTM for action on funding when he gives them the annual blight report. He has sought to have fines collected in connection with blight citations be deposited in a separate fund that could be used to correct blight conditions when owners can't -- or won't -- do it themselves. "I've been asking for five or six years," Gilleran said of a blight remediation fund, "and it still hasn't gotten any further. It would make the job a heck of a lot easier."
