Prop Me Up
Senator Teddy Kennedy is coming back to Washington to vote on the economic spending package.
Kennedy is coming up from Florida, where he has been suffering from brain cancer.
The Swimmer is expected to find his way to the Senate in enough t…

I’m growing increasingly depressed over the fact that even most of the pundits at Fox are agreeing with what I’ve been saying all along… we may never recover from this, if this giant turd gets passed. Granted, I officially joined the Allahpessimist team on election night, but I have repeatedly stated that this bill is the nail in America’s coffin, and it’s frightening to hear the talking heads starting to say the same things.

I really feel bad for kids… I have nieces that are 6 and 4 years old, and a 1 year old nephew, and these poor kids are going to grow up in a third world socialist mess of a country (or one that has joined the NWO, depending on how quickly everything unfolds). Granted, I’ve got most of my life ahead of me too, but at least I got a couple decent decades in…. What about the kids!?

Americans, what have you done?

Well said. I think freedom loving Americans lost the battle once they lost the schools to the government.

This seth critter is a walking-talking Liberal talking point. Must be addicted to CNN-MSNBC… Probably gets a chill running up his leg when listening to Olbermann… A dead ideology; what a moronic statement.

A dead ideology… What a moronic statement to make. Conservatism will out live both you and I seth… Life has many cycles; this current cycle is going to test Liberalism-Socialism. Eventually, Americans will come back towards Conservative values and principles, as these have been tested and approved through several cycles in our history.

Yeah, I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that “Reaganism” is deadorshoulddieimmediately, but yet FDR keeps a-goin’ and going’ and goin’.

What you’re watching is the screeching and wailing of those who want a dead man and a dead ideology back. That includes Wall Street trying to justify their bonuses, H1/L1 abuse and their status as “masters of the universe”. That includes some resisting states of the South who wish to interfere with the recovery of this country.

Welcome to the end of the era of Reagan.

That’s funny. I remember hearing the same thing 16 years ago. A couple of years after that, what I heard was that the old New Deal coalition is dead.

He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner.

Cutting his sentence down doesn’t count?

Well, if the goal of the last 8 28 years of tax cuts and governing for the wealthy with 2 3 wars with nation building was to bankrupt our country.

Mission Accomplished.

Countries have collapsed and come back so at least it is not the rapture.

Next year, it should start getting better so the expectations should fit this reality.

Welcome to the end of the era of Reagan. Welcome to the beginning of a nation that does not confer instant sainthood to Wall Street.

What this bill does not include is a large enough tax cut, a strong “Buy America” provision, and a reform in H1/L1 law that is more citizen friendly(and makes the unpatriotic folks at Grigsby & Cohen unhappy).

Now, it’s up to the RNC to make sure I have viable choices and I’m pinning a lot of hopes on Michael Steele. RNC leadership these past 8 years (at least) has been pathetic.

Next year, it should start getting better so the expectations should fit this reality.

Think Back, FRIENDS (January 21st)

Yesterday:

1. Outgoing President George W. Bush quietly boards his helicopter and leaves for Texas, commenting only: “Today is not about me. Today is a historical day for our nation and people.”

Eight years ago Yesterday:

1. Outgoing President Bill Clinton schedules two separate radio addresses to the nation, and organizes a public farewell speech/ rally in downtown Washington D.C. scheduled to directly conflict with incoming President Bush’s inauguration ceremony.

Yesterday:

2. President Bush leaves office without issuing a single Presidential pardon, only granting a commutation of sentence to two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting a convicted drug smuggler. He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner.

Eight years ago Yesterday:

2. President Clinton issues 140 pardons and several commutations of sentence on his final day in office. Included in these are: billionaire financier, convicted tax evader, and leading Democratic campaign contributor Marc Rich; Whitewater scandal figure Susan McDougal; Congressional Post Office Scandal figure and former Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; convicted bank fraud, sexual assault and child porn perpetrator and former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds; and convicted drug felon Roger Clinton, the President’s half-brother.

Yesterday:

3. The Bush daughters leave gift baskets in the White House bedrooms for the Obama daughters, containing flowers, candy, stuffed animals, DVD’s and CD’s, and heartfelt notes of encouragement and advice for the young girls on how to prepare for their new lives in the White House.

Eight years ago Yesterday:

3. Clinton and Gore staffers rip computer wires and electrical outlets from the White House walls, stuff piles of notebook papers into the White House toilets, systematically remove the letter “W” from every computer key-pad in the entire White House, and damage several thousand dollars worth of furniture in the White House master bedroom.

Eight Years

Headlines On This Date 4 Years Ago:

“Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops Die in unarmored Humvees”

“Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times”

“Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, Ordinary Americans get the shaft”

Headlines Today:

“Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $170 million”

“Obama Spends $170 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party”

“Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate”

“Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration”

1) allowing Hamas to settle in the USA

2) mandating that only union construction workers can work on government projects

Does anybody else have the idea that Obama also wants to naturalize every minority Islamic group and bring them to America and legalize all illegal aliens and force workers out of a job to join a union or not work at all, thus giving illegal aliens the opportunity to become union workers. Guess who these newly naturalized citizens will vote for.

In the end, I think the idea is to give Obama a chance to regain control over the conversation. His speeches recently, and now this nonsense strike me as very unpresidential. But I feel that way about his very being, entire campaign, and his first few weeks in office.

Israeli elections are on Tuesday. I wonder what will get more TV time – townhall meetings or new Israeli PM.

30% chance we’ll get it wrong, says Biden

Don’t sell yourselves short guys; you’re Ivory pure stupid, there’s a 99.44% chance you’ll get it wrong.

…the last 8 years…

getalife on February 7, 2009 at 1:06 PM

…were very good to people like Obama, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid…

We are still waiting for you to relocate to Jo-Ja; preferably before the census!

Well, if the goal of the last 8 years of tax cuts and governing for the wealthy ……..

wanna cracker?

More than that, due to Collins and Snowe, I will no longer do business with anyone based in Maine, like LLBean.

Josiah on February 7, 2009 at 9:17 AM

LOL. I have a Vermont ban. Won’t go there anymore, or buy their dairy products (which are in our local stores here in NY). I have a NY ban too, except for me. Think I’ll join you in banning Maine, although the northern woods there and the beautiful shoreline are a sight to behold.
(Ok,I’ll fess up. I ban all blue states :)

Next year, it should start getting better so the expectations should fit this reality.

We’ll see.

Don’t pick on her too much or we won’t get her comical explanation on how Ogabe’s expansion of the Afghan war and his failure to reduce troop levels in Iraq is a GOOD thing.

One wonders if some of these people secretly hope to bring about the ruin of the U.S.

albill on February 7, 2009 at 12:02 PM

I don’t think there is anything secret about it. They obviously do, at least the U.S.A. as we know and love it.

Well, if the goal of the last 8 years of tax cuts and governing for the wealthy with 2 wars with nation building was to bankrupt our country.

Mission Accomplished.

Your lack of understanding of even the rudiments of how the economy works is appalling.
