This needs to be said again:

As economist Larry Kudlow noted the other day, the American economy has grown by an amazing $2.2 trillion just since June 2003, or 20 percent, an amount equal to the size of the entire Chinese economy.-RealClearPolitics

Where are all the Hysteritics at now? They sure did get awfully silent all of a sudden.

Amazing.

The Treason Times distorts:

Rep. Hoekstra accused Stephen Kappes, former NSA director, of being one of the leakers: “I have been long concerned that a strong and well-positioned group within the Agency intentionally undermined the Administration and its policies,” he wrote. “This argument is supported by the Ambassador Wilson/Valerie Plame events, as well as by the string of unauthorized disclosures from an organization which prides itself with being able to keep secrets. I have come to this belief that, despite his service to the DO, Mr. Kappes may have been part of this group.

“Further, the details surrounding Mr. Kappes’ departure from the CIA give me great pause,” Rep. Hoekstra wrote. “The fact is, Mr. Kappes and his Deputy, Mr. Sulick, were developing a communications offensive to bypass the Intelligence Committees and the CIA’s own Office of Congressional Affairs. One can only speculate on the motives, but it clearly indicates a willingness to promote a personal agenda. Every day we suffer from individuals promoting their personal agendas. This is clearly a place where we do not want or need to be.”

Neither of these paragraphs made it into the lengthy story Mr. Lichtblau and Mr. Shane wrote.-RealClearPolitics

Plus these two libs titled their story “Congressman says Bush violated law.”

A Culture of Dishonesty?

Cut

I could not imagine anything more detrimental toward abolishing racism and to enhancing black progress in America than such an attitude. But apparently it is the norm in American life to so fear being called a racist that individuals as well as institutions react to blacks as they would to children — humoring them rather than taking them seriously.

This is another terrible legacy of the dominant liberal attitudes vis

Ralph Reed is a slimy sack of human excrement and anyone who could support this disengenuous, two-faced, lying hypocrite needs to have their heads examined. I imagine that will include thousands of you who read this poor excuse of a newspaper and many of you who regularly post here. He, you, your so-called “family values”, your mindless pro-war vitriol, and the religion you supposedly “practice” are over and over shown for what they are; a total anathema to the teachings of Christ and utterly fraudulant.

Sure, they believe RR ‘didn’t know’ the source of the money from the indian tribes (who get virtually all of their money from gambling) came from ‘gambling sources.’

An absolutely shallow, meaningless distinction with which RR is desperately using to excuse his immorality.

When will these morons wake up to the RR’s of the religious right and hold them accountable for bastardizing Christianity?

The RR’s, Pat Robertson’s, Jerry Falwell’s, Tony Perkins’, James Dobson’s, etc. are some of the worst ‘Christians’ on the planet!

Ha! Get this.

The World Health orgaization has a study which claims that circumcision cuts HIV deaths dramatically.

Orthodox Jews and Muslims will exult that God is great. Liberal Jews and if there were any, liberal Muslims, would claim that God was a good pathologist. Evangelicals will lament the fact that despite the delusions of Paul the Apostle perhaps the Jewish Christians were right after all. If they were right about circumcision, perhaps they were right about everything else as well. Meaning that the churches teach a doctrine totally at odds with Jesus and his earliest followers. Is George Bush circumcised? What about Ralph Reed?

Conservatives don’t:

We are finally beginning to recover from the disastrous social experiments of the 1960s. A number of women are readily giving up the “glamour life” of office work for life as full-time wives and mothers. Conservative media have blossomed in recent years, and Americans no longer accept the nightly network news as gospel. Public opinion polls show that young people today are far more pro-life than students of previous decades.

And, despite the many challenges we face as a nation, America remains the world’s greatest hope — a land where anyone, of any race, of any family, of any income level, can rise to achieve the greatest professional success. We remain a country of both dreamers and doers, a place where the impossible becomes reality day in and day out — from the cornfield to the Capitol building.

“Some of my friends are planning to have families”.

The amazing thing is that I don’t see the far right blindly defending the man-boy today (could this guy sing for the Vienna Boys Choir, or what). Afterall, he hasn’t been charged with a crime or found guilty of anything. He, like most in politics these days, engages in the just barely legal styles of graft. He should take William Jefferson under his turtle-dove wing and teach him the ropes.

Andy- Glad to see you got your sense of humor back today (9:56). You were really starting to sound a little psycho yesterday with the “serious-blog” stuff.

Midori,

I’d say you just painted a more favorable impression of RW than I had in mind.

Did anyone notice the excerpt on John Zogby’s WalMart research in US News & World Report? The results suggested that WalMart shoppers were the best indicator in current national elections- logical, since it’s the nation’s largest retailer. He surmised that for republicans to prevail they would have to pick up 75% of the WalMart vote. Currently Bush is at 35% amongst WalMart shoppers- a very bad sign considering that his base is standing there in line purchasing Cheetos, Kenny Chesney CD’s, and Nascar teeshirts. Danish, we’ll discuss the majority/minority thing in greater detail in 4 months.

The problem with those polls, Majority Voice, is that it compares a general Democrat to a general Republican. A general Democrat may not have anything positive going for it, but he also has no flaws as such. What happens in an election is that once there is a concrete Democrat, that’s when $hit hits the fan. The Republican party has, of late, become absolutely masterful at character assasination. We may not have seen their equal at that skill in the history of this country. If they can take a decorated war hero like John Kerry and “Swift Boat” him, they can destroy anyone. So I don’t believe what those polls say. Those polls reflect performance and trust of the Republican party. What they don’t reflect is how people will vote once Rove et al get through with the Democratic candidate. I guarantee you that if the Democrats ran Mother Theresa and Pope John Paul on a ticket, Rove would figure out how to “prove” to the American people that she’s a dirty whore and he’s her pimp.

Good Cartoon Mike — but sadly it’s beating a dead horse again. Ralph Reed is corrupt as can be and there’s just no way around that. His association with gambling interest and in directly helping one tribe gain a monopoly in the gambling market by (Using) the Christian Coalition is just another abomination of the “Good Character” of this man. Oh yeah - Right! I didn’t know the money I was getting from a (fake) think tank I created was dirty laundered gambling money.

Ok - either he is guilty of corruption or else he is utterly naive and stupid. In either case this man should not be in office handling state issues.

I figure even if by some chance “Ralphie Boy” does get elected it will be a blacker eye on the Republican Party when he is taken to task for his crimes later on. It will be so much fun to watch Abramoff spill the beans about him to the courts while the good ol’ Mr A. tries to escape those muder conspiracy charges facing him for his part in the death of “Miami Subs” “Gus” during that attempt to (strong-arm) aquire the “Sun Cruise” Gambling boats.

But I hope the Repub’s do vote for Reed, as he will be easier for the Dem’s to defeat than Cagle. I think a lot of Christians have Mr Reed figured out now and they wish to have nothing more to do with his lying and money making.

Midori,

Excellent link. Did you notice that Dean said that the ultra-right authoritarian conservatives who would follow their leader over a cliff comprised 23% of America, just slightly below Bush’s low of 29%? Sounds pretty accurate to me.

RW,

In 4 months we’ll be discussing how many seats the dems picked up in both houses. Everyone, even the dimmest of Repubs in congress, knows that we’ll pick up seats; it’s just a question of how many. I hate to say this, but the best case scenario might be that we be pick up enough to come just one or two shy of the majority in both houses. That way the repubs still have slight control and over the last 5 years it’s really shown how poorly they govern. There will be no one else to blame for the misguided direction of the country, and the dems would sweep both houses and the presidency back in 08.

As for vulgarity, that’s not what I’m worried about. You attacked and insulted a docile commenter out of the blue. I attacked you, an avowed enemy who is openly combative and hostile.

Danish,

I don’t worry about your son, but I would if I were you. I was a conservative when I was 12 as well. Then I grew up and went to college where I learned a bit and realized what fallacy underlies conservative thought and what falsehoods my parents fed me over the years. I give it about 8 years before your son realizes what a BS-spewing loon his mother is. Good luck dealing with that.

Rushncap,

I agree with you about the slander, but the act, as well as the way repubs govern, is growing thin on too many Americans. It will swing in November.

Real Clear Politics ~ two generations of blacks will learn how liberalism has hurt them ~

I don’t know of a people who have fought any harder for their freedom to do ordinary things in the United States of America than “the negroes” to quote Martin Luther King,Jr. I remember as a little girl my father teaching me to hate racism by pointing out the “colored” and white water fountains and the horrible name calling. My mother reminded me election 2000 that blacks have only been able to vote since the 1960’s. I was lucky because I was the age of the King children…My father, a white pastor, not educated like MLK, was just as wise as MLK. He knew that it was God who created us equal not the government but MLK knew how to fight with dignity for his families God given rights. George W. Bush has said the same thing but of course, he is mocked.

A recent poll showed that only 3% of blacks support President George W. Bush. I was surprised at my own reaction. I simply wondered who is the 3% are? Jay Leno cracked a joke like they must have been Condi Rice’s family. I don’t care who likes Bush or doesn’t like Bush but there is a brainwashing by liberalism…My mother (79) told recently “we weren’t really attacked on 9-11 - they didn’t attack all of the country - they bombed one of the WTC buildings when Clinton was president” Perhaps it’s as simple as Bill Clinton. He is idolized among the liberal Democrats. He is called “the first black president” and I think all those who idolize him are in bondage.

I’m sorry, RW, I forgot how low your literacy level is. I’ll slow down.

What I said, and I quote, is the party is controlled by freaks like yourself. Now, in the English language, when someone uses the term “like” that means they are comparing one thing to another (omitting for now other uses of that term). So, when someone says that “A is like B” that means that B is similar to A, but not the same as A. To go back to my sentence, me saying freaks like yourself means that there are freaks who are similar, in some way or ways, to you. Note that they are not you, otherwise I would have used the wording “you and freaks like you”. Therefore, RW, I’m not saying you run the Republican Party. On the contrary, I’m in fact implying that you do NOT run the party.

As for some of those folks, they can “quibble” all they want. There are folks who quibble that the Earth is round, but I’m not currently dealing with the paranoid.

RW – Until now, nothing has ever driven me to respond to anyone on Mike Luckovich’s blog, (can’t say that tomorrow) although I’ve probably lurked here since it’s inception – I’m familiar with the regulars’ views and can usually, grudgingly, see both sides of the arguments.

At 10:05a, you posted a link to your website. On the site, there is another link to something called the Jawa Report and by now, everyone has probably been there to see the spoils of the Iraqi war in all its glory. So now I just had to ask you – what purpose does it serve to keep this link up on your otherwise reasonable website? What purpose do the photos of mutilated servicemen serve? What purpose to keep them on-line, along with the video, when even Michelle Malkin (who I am sure is one of your modern-day heroines) requested they be removed from a site similar to Jawa? (The other site complied, by the way.)

Did you think these photos and the video would sway me to your way of thinking? Did you think I’d be so outraged that I’d be leading the charge to do away with all liberal-thinking individuals (or anyone against the war), or ban them from Mike’s blog, or ban Mike from Mike’s blog, or kneel down and profess my allegiance to all things republican? Did you?

Well, here’s what you’ve done. If I were on the fence before today, you managed to push me into the other yard. This war is ugly. This administration is uglier. And you, RW, for posting that link, are ugliest of them all.

Top U.N. officials keep promising to clean up their murky system — when not busy claiming they have fixed it already.

The catch — somehow, with U.N. reform, there is always a catch — is that these “disclosure” forms will not entail any actual release of information to the public. They will be kept in-house So whatever material turns up will be assessed and dealt with (or not) by the same U.N. bureaucracy which has just failed to cooperate fully with an investigation into its own audit department; the same bureaucracy that assured us last year that a “zero tolerance” policy had put an end to U.N. peacekeeper rape of minors in Africa (not exactly); and which solemnly assured us two years ago that the 1996-2003 Oil-for-Food program had been one of the most thoroughly audited U.N. ventures ever.-NationalReview

It is explained why the link is there and there are three layers of warning before you would get to the part of the post that bothers you so. I know you asked a string of questions, but you end your post with a conclusion so I will take that to mean your questions are rhetorical.

My post is not to sway or to shock, it is to show that when luckovich draws a cartoon comparing the United States to al Qaeda and then people here parrot that feeling, I don’t believe they have any idea what they are talking about. I also intentionally left the soldiers names off my post so that no family member will be directed to my post through a random search and I will delete any comment that uses their names for the same reason.

There are no pictures or video on my blog post and I don’t believe the Jawa report is planning to take this information away. If they do it will automatically be inaccessible from my blog.

You can take that to the bank. I don’t care who you like - that’s your business. - and another thing - about Kerry’s military record.

I come from a very long line of military family - I have family serving now. I never paid a lot of attention to my family records until all the debate leading up to Presidential elections 2004 - Dan Rather with false papers about Bush’s record. The Swift Boat ads taking on John Kerry’s medals. I knew my cousin was a Green Beret in Vietnam, I knew he went on to become the 9th Sergeant Major of the Army during the Clinton administration, but I had no idea he served (2)Two tours of duty as a Green Beret jumping out of helicopters (I realize I’m not perfect at describing the jumps, etc.) but his mother & my mother are sisters. I never heard them brag about his service. They were very proud of him as it was his dream as a boy to become a Green Beret. My aunt (89) telephoned a few weeks ago to tell me her granddaughter was going to Cuba. She served in the Gulf War, Dessert Storm and she was stationed at the Pentagon on 9-11.

If you want Bush’s Air National Guard Service - http://www.hillnews.com/york/090904.aspx

John Kerry or John Murtha or any politician should not put their service on the political line is my personal opinion.

I don’t know why John Kerry did not get elected but I would have advised him to leave his Vietnam service a low priority since he protested the war when her got back home. I think he was in Vietnam less than 5 months. I have many friends who fought in Vietnam. I love the U.S. military men & women. They are the finest in the world. The few who commit crime have nothing to do the 99.99% who serve with dignity.

The same newspapers and television news programs that are constantly reminding us that some people under indictment “are innocent until proven guilty” are nevertheless hyping the story of American troops accused of rape in Iraq, day in and day out, even though these troops have yet to be proven guilty of anything.

What about all the civilian rapes that are charged — and even proven — in the United States? None of them gets this 24/7 coverage in the mainstream media.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated example of media hype of unproven charges against American troops.

They are just as wrong about that as you are about requesting that I remove the link.

There is nothing political about this at all. It clearly illustrates the lunacy of drawing a moral equivalence between how we treat people versus how our enemy treats people. If it happens to mean that one political point of view consists of people that think we are the same, then it’s their problem not mine.

It’s also not a random event. These bodies were found the same day luckovich put out his slanderous cartoon and the best he could come up with was that their treatment had been unimaginable and oh by the way we do it too. He also said maybe his timing was off. I say he never had a good time to draw Pot to Kettle. He also shouldn’t get a pass on the silly “timing” excuse. He knew these men had been taken and were being searched for by about 10,000 troops. The condition they would be found in should have been easily foreseen, so I’m not buying that part of his bs excuse either.

RW (The Real Wanker) shouts his hypocrisy from the top of the Sears Tower when he slams me for posting exactly what the DoD posts on its website. An example from today:

DoD Identifies Marine Casualty

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a Marine who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Sgt. Justin L. Noyes, 23, of Vinita, Okla., died July 2 while conducting combat operations in Al Anbar province, Iraq. He was assigned to 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Okinawa, Japan.

As a veteran, I respect the sacrifice of each and every fallen soldier. What I oppose is the administration decision that put our soldiers into Iraq.

RW castigated me a few days ago for posting the DoD announcements, saying it was wrong because it was for political purposes. These announcements are also posted in virtually every newspaper and news magazine in the USA. I find it hypocritical that he would post a link showing the desecrated bodies of our fallen soldiers and not feel that he is using these images for political purposes.

I suspect that now that our resident wing-nuts have attacked you, we may not see you posting here in the future. I hope that is not the case.

And while no one said those same insurgents carried out Tuesday’s rush-hour train attacks in Bombay — which police said killed at least 130 people and injured 260 — security sources told TIME they suspected a shadowy alliance of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) working with indigenous Indian Muslims from the banned Student Islamic Movemement of India (SIMI).-Time

Providing a method for someone to see that there is a very real difference between how we treat people and what our enemy does to us is not promoting a political point of view. It would be if people weren’t actually saying we are the same, but they are and you damn well know it.

The link you posted was for shock value, and if you think N-GA’s postings were to make a political point, you must realize that the impetus behind your action was even more directly related to making a political point. The footage is out there, and some people desire to see it for themselves, so I’m not going to berate you for posting it, but you can’t deny it was done with political ends in mind.

@@,

I’m glad you can devote your time to helping students in need, but you obviously don’t have the prerequisites to teach anything more advanced than the most basic skills. To do so you would need to be able to write in complete sentences (ie. know that periods go at the end of sentences and not commas) before you could teach others how to do it. Writing complete sentences is about a 5th grade skill, so if you can’t do that, it’s not possible that you could handle more sophisticated material or skills such as higher-order reasoning.

Danish,

I really don’t care where you are vacationing, but I have a feeling that an Aryan Compound is right up your alley. Referring to yourself you said, “Not only do I have considerable brain power…” My question is when will you start showing this supposed trait you have? The only thing you have shown here is a propensity for arrogance and vanity. It shows your true colors when you immediately call a newcomer a “freaking liar.” I have to believe that I don’t just speak for myself when I say that you are the embodiment of what so many of us dislike in conservatives. Luckily, few Republicans show the disdain for their fellow man that you do, or the blatant self-centeredness. You seem almost a caricature of yourself, a wannabe Ann Coulter who actually believes the poison you spew, a symptom of the disease that you are part of. Your privilege doesn’t make you better than others; it makes you far worse. I didn’t think there were really people out there who thought the way you do, but this blog has made me aware of the filth that can worm its way through our society. So you have taught me something. I wish I could say thank

OotMVoD,

I really shouldn’t bother to respond since you have ignored every inquiry I’ve made, so feel free to stop reading and I’ll just say this for anyone sane and rational that wants to see it.

N-GA went through a litany of posts saying the Iraq war was a big mistake and profanely abusing anyone that disagreed. He then began posting the name and rank of dead soldiers. That is a political statement designed to sway people to one side.

Luckovich posted a cartoon comparing the United States to al Qaeda and yesterday the liberals on this blog all started in saying President Bush is just as bad as any of our enemies.

My post purports to show that ml and the liberal posters here are wrong. I’ve done it by showing the evidence. That is a quest for truth and not political in the least.

The only reason you think my post is political is because it reveals a truth you don’t want seen.

OOTMVD,

For someone who doesn’t care where I vacation, you certainly show a lot of interest in the details of my life - just like a good little stalker. As usual you have it all wrong, so don’t buy any plane tickets to any Aryan compounds because you won’t find me.

For you, a little squirt who right off the bat told me that I was ignorant because I didn’t know who an obscure character called Granny Weatherall was, and who told me how Christ and I were going to get along at the end of my life, to then turn around and call me arrogant, defines arrogance - and impudence.

You are fresh out of college and think you know everything, but you have neither the wisdom or experience to know diddley squat beyond the propaganda you’ve been fed. Your contemptuous remarks to @@ about her work perfectly illustrate your know-it-all, know nothing, punk attitude.

Your pretense that most Republicans are fine and dandy in your view except for the likes of me and Ann Coulter, and that were it not for this blog you would be unaware of “the filth that worms its way through society” is about as fake as it gets.

Don’t you pretend to be a student of history? You’ve never heard of the filth called Al Qaida? My posts are poisonous, but ML, who compares our soldiers to Al Qaida’s butchers is a great guy?

You’re so wet behind the ears that I bet even your hapless students see through you. Maybe you could have a second career selling snake-oil to the miserable.

Granny,

It is you who seem to have a strange obsession with trying to figure out my background, even though all I do is repeat the boasts that you have voluntarily made about everyone around you, as if they somehow give you credibility. Sorry, you’re still a pompous hag. Don’t give up your dayjob as a stay-at-home-do-nothing-housewife to become a detective, because as usual, you’re far off with your assessments. I finished college a long time ago, although in one sense I’m still “in” college, at a level you’ll never attain. And I’ll take academic knowledge over your backwoods revival propaganda any day. I guess I’d rather be “wet behind the ears” in your eyes than emulate you, a living relic of archaic mythology, fascism, and feudalism all rolled into one. And no, all Republicans are not fine and dandy; there are just few as repulsive as yourself. Enjoy your target practice.
