Speaking skills

“Speaking skills?”

You got to be kidding me, right?

What a slap in the face Biden’s racist rant was to every African-American and decent person who heard him. How disgraceful to suggest that most blacks aren’t articulate or clean and it took a guy like Obama to finally come along and speak in a complete sentence while even appearing to shower and shave regularly. Every prominent black American had a duty to condemn Sen. Joe “Grand Wizard” Biden of Delaware. Instead, they wimped out and failed the test.

You watch, these dullards will condemn me for speaking out against a racist, all because the racist is a democrat.

I’m right, as always, these pinkos will trash anything to protect their political party. Even the “principles” it supposedly stands for.

Biden, though not a front runner, would have drawn a decent amount of support. It wasn’t just the Obama remark that all but killed his chances, he came totally unhinged, flailing scuds at many of his fellow democrats.

He has probably done something that no other democratic presidential candidates in the past few elections have done, and that is rank below Dennis Kucinich.

You are absolutely correct. These types of insensitive, bigoted remarks simply roll off the tongue of so many people and it is truly disappointing…

I’m sincerely glad to see the outrage expressed by enlightened people like yourself and Michael Gallagher.

I am hoping that it IS sincere and not just a short-lived opportunity to impugn Joe Biden (and by inference all those that have not expressed the outrage and condemnation that enlightened individuals like you and Michael Gallagher feel is appropriate).

Discrimination against ANYONE due to their race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion is FIRMLY AGAINST the principles of this great nation.

First of all, most parents don’t have leisure time of you fatcat lawmakers. Secondly, it is such a wrong-headed proposal that I can’t believe ANY of your constitutents proposed that stupid bill! What did they do, have a focus group of 10-year-olds?

Good toon ML. It appears that the “Couch Couple” has upgraded to plasma. Great Biden caricature.

What did Biden say exactly? The quote I have seen is “I’ve had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking,”.

I believe this to be a rascist remark. I have, also, been the object of such vieled bigotry. On one hand there is the “He’s a credit to his race” statements, on the other its’ “Asians are all smart at technical matters”. Because both statements do not disparage per se, any more than Biden’s 7/11 declaration (in fact they are “technically” complimentary), many do not feel them to be bigoted. Many feel that the “hate” component is missing but I might argue that the hate (based on envy) is there, it is only vieled.

In addition, it really is true that Indian immigrants with resources enough to aquire SBA loans do purchase and operate an inordianately large number of 7/11, DD, and Dairy Queen franchises. Remarks like Bidens imply that the reason for this is that these immigrants have only the skills and intelligence to operate a 7/11 (they are inferior). The implication may have been unintentional but it does exist.

In truth, I would bet that it probably takes a great many people, logistical, financial, and creative skills to operate these facilities. The true reason for the large number of Indian 7/11 franchisees is probably that the company markets its’ franchises to this group because it has had good relations within that community, and potential francisees see a level of support from friends and relatives who are already in the business.

So is Sen Biden a bigot? I couldn’t truthfully tell you, only he knows his own mind. I can say, however, that the Senator appears to have as little control over what comes out of his mouth than the current President; both are embarassments to the parties and the voters that they serve.

I place Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Tony Perkins, Terry Randall and a few other ‘Christians’ in this category.

I think highly of true Christians. Those that PRACTICE the teachings of Jesus and do not bastardize christianity for political or bigoted purposes.

But, God forbid, they recoil at the idea of gay marriage, then according to you they are not real Christians, and you are free to “discriminate” against them because you have invested yourself with moral authority and you have no tolerance for an opposing and even majority view.

What’s offensive about “gal”? Some black people are offended when it is said obnoxiously or in a deriding manner because it sounds too close to the word “girl”.

I was referring to the phrase “by being critical of one of our own.” I have the same impression - those allied with the Republican Party or principles seem more likely to address contradictions, errors or actions that need correction. While there are those who adhere to the “speak no evil” principle, that seems to be more the rule on the other end of the spectrum.

BTW - I’ve listened to a number of posters here opine about what commentators think, believe etc ad nauseum - especially when they don’t listen to them and get their info from websites. I got in the car last night, turned on the NPR weekly roundup and listened to some listener comments - evidently Rush Limbaugh (I rarely tune him in) had been a guest. The letters were pretty much what you’d expect - “How DARE you invite a person like that on NPR” or “He’s a ##!*% - why did you give him another outlet?” Then the host said “you may recall when we asked Mr. Limbaugh what is the purpose of his radio show, he replied:

He is wasting time and other people’s money running for president (NO chance). What concerns me about him is the fact that he been in the senate so long that he has become the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. His wants to be to the Iraq situation what Sen Fulbright was for Vietnam——criticizing anything the president does or says. I do have to admit that he is one of the very few democrats who have offered any kind of solution to the Iraq situation. His solution (of course) is a very bad and unworkable solution.

As for “cheering on war” that is so fatuous, it is not even worth bothering with.

I’ve just about had it with you phony hypocrites, who claim to be for peace but won’t do anything to secure it, and who claim to be tolerant as long as everyone agrees with you. I’ve had it with people like you who claim to have all the answers about the “environment” when the fact is that if your junk science ideas were implemented, say by implementing he Kyoto Treaty, we could end up impoverishing millions of people, and the most polluted places on Earth are the most impoverished.

Here’s some info on that GOP shill Falwell.

Jerry Falwell:

[Met privately numerous times with Presidents George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon.]

Gee Jerry no Democrat leaders?

[After the September 11, 2001, attacks Falwell said on the 700 Club, “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say ‘you helped this happen.” (to which Robertson concurred).]

[Falwell remarked, “AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals.” ]

And does anyone remember when the “Moonies” Bailed out Falkwell’s church from Bankruptcy?

[But Moon’s secret financial ties to Falwell raise some sensitive political questions, particularly amid congressional hearings on foreign money influencing U.S. politics: For instance, did the $3.5 million from Moon’s front group give Falwell the means to become a national pitchman for “The Clinton Chronicles” and other conspiracy-mongering videos which fingered President and Mrs. Clinton in a wide range of serious crimes, including murder? During the period of the Liberty bail-out, Falwell was using his expensive TV time to hawk the videos.]

This “gay marriage” thing strikes me as one of those hot-button issues that generates action (and money for the PACs involved) on both ends. If the issue is not viewed as “rights” - another loaded term - but just as a way for a couple to have certain legal protections which (not gays but any unmarried couple could experience) - such as medical care determinations, inheritance, etc - well, is a “civil union” arrangement reasonable? Of course, it would include the flip side - alimony, child support, etc.

LHU,

I didn’t “cut and run” from anything. If anyone is lying it’s you, not me.

You show me where in the Bible Christ specifically endorses gay marriage. Okay, sport?

Paul,

I don’t have a problem with “civil unions”, although I think that the claims that property “rights” etcetera are non-existent without these unions is really a fallacious argument. One can enter into legal contracts regarding property, hospital visits, etcetera, without entering into a “civil union”.

My only reluctance about civil unions is because of the “give them an inch and they’ll take a mile” syndrome of behavior, and once civil unions were universally recognized, I guarantee you that there would be a huge movement to take it to the next step.

I oppose gay marriage, not because I have been inspired by any PAC or church, but because I want it kept in the bedroom, just like liberals claim they want.

Nuked for Brains,

You are attempting to re-define societal norms by calling people who reject the obliteration of thousands of years of civilization as “bigots” who “discriminate”.

DDR,

I don’t know that it’s true that James Brown’s common law wife and child will get nothing - it depends on Georgia law.

Assuming that JB was divorced from his last wife, why didn’t they get married? Why is it that so many “liberal” heterosexual couples don’t believe in marriage but it’s urgent for homosexuals?

A Muslim leader has warned that Britain is moving towards a “police state,” comparing the situation to Nazi Germany after the anti-terror raids in the city of Birmingham this week.

Muslim extremists who are preaching in the “mainstream” mosques follow Nazi ideology, so if Britain is becoming like Nazi Germany they have only themselves to blame.

Now I really am out of here.

Even if we stopped all pollutions today, it would take years, decades, maybe centuries for the earth to recover from the damage mankind has now done.

I’m honestly baffled by this whole thing. The first time I heard the Biden quote I immediately assumed that by “clean” he meant “not dirtied by Washington’s scandals”. It’s only much later that people started jumping all over it that I went “Ooooh, I guess you can take it that way, if you really try.”

The funny thing is, this may help Biden in the long run. It’s an absolutely retarded controversy, everyone knows he did not mean anything by his statement. And now he’s actually talked about, and getting the 3rd most publicity after the 2 main Dem. candidates. Well done indeed, Joe!

Hey Brian, are you aware that the AEI think tank offering the (bribe) money is where the former members of the PNAC ran off to as the PNAC finally declined? PNAC now has only 1 full time member left (lol)

Just look at AEI’s list, which includes these fine notables:

John R. Bolton Lynn V. Cheney Newt Gingrich Frederick W. Kagan Richard Perle

Heres a bit more E-Info on your post:

[On 2 February 2007, the British newspaper The Guardian reported that the AEI had sent letters to scientists, offering US$ 10,000 plus travel expenses and additional payments, asking them to demonstrate shortcomings of a report on global warming by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The article also reported that the oil company ExxonMobil is a major contributor to AEI and that Lee Raymond, a former head of ExxonMobil, is the vice-chairman of AEI’s board of trustees. The letters stated that the IPCC was “resistant to reasonable criticism and dissent and prone to summary conclusions that are poorly supported by the analytical work” and asked for essays that “thoughtfully explore the limitations of climate model outputs.”]

{{DDR,……Assuming that JB was divorced from his last wife, why didn�t they get married? Why is it that so many �liberal� heterosexual couples don�t believe in marriage but it�s urgent for homosexuals? Do you see the irony here?}}

They did in fact got married but it wasn’t legal because “Mrs. Brown” was still married to her first husband, (according to Brown’s lawyers).

Brown once supported Nixon and had right leanings so I really wouldn’t say he was “liberal” maybe “moderate” would be more appropos.

I get the irony but feel it’s men in general (I’m gonna get it for that one!), who don’t want to get married. And when they DO finally get married they usually marry someone 20+ years younger than them. Since women mature earlier than men, IMO most want marriage and to start families at a reasonable age, mid to late 20’s. On the other hand, men think they may miss out on the “Free Love Freak Train” if they marry in their 20’s and tend to wait until their 40’s to want to get married and start families.

At any time within the next few days, the Iraqi Council of Ministers is expected to approve a new “hydrocarbon law” essentially drawn up by the Bush administration and its UK lackey, the Independent on Sunday reported. The new bill will “radically redraw the Iraqi oil industry and throw open the doors to the third-largest oil reserves in the world,” says the paper, whose reporters have seen a draft of the new law. “It would allow the first large-scale operation of foreign oil companies in the country since the industry was nationalized in 1972.” If the government’s parliamentary majority prevails, the law should take effect in March.

As the paper notes, the law will give Exxon Mobil, BP, Shell and other carbon cronies of the White House unprecedented sweetheart deals, allowing them to pump gargantuan profits from Iraq's nominally state-owned oilfields for decades to come. This law has been in the works since the very beginning of the invasion - indeed, since months before the invasion, when the Bush administration brought in Phillip Carroll, former CEO of both Shell and Fluor, the politically-wired oil servicing firm, to devise "contingency plans" for divvying up Iraq's oil after the attack. Once the deed was done, Carroll was made head of the American "advisory committee" overseeing the oil industry of the conquered land, as Joshua Holland of Alternet.com has chronicled in two remarkable reports on the backroom maneuvering over Iraq's oil: "Bush's Petro-Cartel Almost Has Iraq's Oil and "The US Takeover of Iraqi Oil."

Mikey, Biden’s comment is getting its’ just rewards. Same goes for any other idiot politician that can’t think on his feet.

It looks like you libruls can be fooled more than once on your party’s energy initiatives.

Remember back a decade ago? Bill Clinton and the dems vetoed legislation to drill in ANWAR. All they want to do is raise taxes and royalty fees on companies that have invested billions looking for oil on the outer continental shelf where the dems gave the go ahead on exploration.

To make matters worse, they want to impose a conservation fee. That’s a greenie fee that was placed on oil companies that signed contracts in 1998 and 1999 with the Clinton administrations’s DoTI. Those contracts neglected to include a clause requiring royalty payments if prices rose above $35 per barrel. Failure to pay the fee would bar the companies from future leases.

The oil companies are on board now with researching alternative fuels. It’s too bad the dems are pursuing this approach.

It’s a strong arm tactic that falls right in line with a dictator’s dream to control.

Have a great day tools.

If hypothetically, Shrillary the Socialist was able to seize those Exxon-Mobil profits, what would be the result?

After skimming off a bit for herself to buy linens and silver, you’d end up with a company with no profits.

Next, everyone sells their stock. After all, who in their right mind would invest in a company that is not permitted to make a profit?

Exxon-Mobil would go bankrupt as its stock becomes worthless and we’d now have one less Oil Company.

Meanwhile, because Exxon’s profits have been seized, Shrillary decides that to be fair she has to seize all the oil companies profits.

What would happen next do you think? Hint - could we nickname her “Shrillary the Shivering Socialist”?

A Failed Cover-Up — What the Libby Trial Is Revealing

Why was the White House so nervous in the summer of 2003 about the CIA’s reporting on alleged Iraqi attempts to buy uranium from Niger to build a nuclear bomb? That’s the big question that runs through the many little details that have emerged in the perjury trial of Vice President Cheney’s former top aide, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

The trial record suggests a simple answer: The White House was worried that the CIA would reveal that it had been pressured in 2002 and early 2003 to support administration claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, and that in the Niger case, the CIA had tried hard to resist this pressure. The machinations of Cheney, Libby and others were an attempt to weave an alternative narrative that blamed the CIA.

The truth began to emerge on July 11, 2003, when CIA Director George Tenet issued a public statement disclosing that the agency had tried to warn the White House off the Niger allegations. In that sense, the Libby trial is about a cover-up that failed. ………….

The bottom line? Grenier was asked in court last week to explain the White House’s 2003 machinations. Here’s what he said: “I think they were trying to avoid blame for not providing (the truth) about whether or not Iraq had attempted to buy uranium.” Let me say it again: This trial is about a cover-up that failed.

Relax. It’s an election. Standard tactic - “you’re the poor, exploited masses and it’s the fault of the corporations and the rich. We’re going to take their money and give it to you. It’s not your fault you’re in your situation. It’s just not fair. We’ll make it fair.”

Pres Clinton said we were getting “two for the price of one” - so, unlike a mutual fund, is past performance a guarantee of future results?

1994-2000, let’s see: what happened to CAFE standards? What happened to the weight, size and horsepower of American automobiles? What was the increase in sales of SUVs? What vehicle classifications were exempt or had lower standards than automobiles?

How much oil could have been saved if these factors would not have occurred?

Examples abound. Dems had a chance and blew it for eight years. Pretty much the same with this administration (by the way - how many Democrats voted for several years for tax credits of thousands of dollars for SUV buyers?).

Rather than more of the “take and give” I’ll wait for some original ideas on structural change. Obama’s looking better and better.

TROTS,

If you’re looking for someone to dance for you, Midori the parrot is your girl.

As a pet in captivity, birds don’t have the opportunity to engage in the activities that they naturally would in the wild where their behavior is very active and playful. Parrots have been observed stripping bark off of trees, biting, shredding and flinging leaves and twigs, swinging from and climbing on vines all the while gleefully chattering to the rest of the flock. Instinctively, companion birds are still very much like their wild counterparts. Playing with toys is a vital substitute for natural behaviors such as foraging and nest building. Providing stimulating and fun toys will provide your bird with hours of entertainment and exercise, thereby keeping it alert, happy and healthy.

Toys are available for every size and species of parrot and you can be assured that the toys on this site are handmade using only the safest available components.

Great! I’m thinking they probably have itty bitty magic wands for your precious girl.

To show what a complete loser this a*******wipe is. Wasteful, childish, ignorant and totally lacking:

�The Loneliest President,� the cover story in this week�s magazine (http://nymag.com/news/politics/Bush/26997/index.html ), keeps resonating with us. Earlier, we wondered aloud whether Bush�s near-delusional state had something to do with the departures of his two pastry chefs. Now we discover that a new memoir, White House Chef , from former head cook Walter Scheib, who was fired by the Bushes in early 2005, supports John Heilemann�s suggestion that W. is an emotionally stunted, narcissistic personality incapable of empathy or growth.

Bush, who called Scheib �cookie,� �wanted his food to hit the table at the same time his posterior hit the chair,� and would never eat anything green or �wet.� What did he eat? Almost exclusively BLTs, grilled-cheese sandwiches made with Kraft singles and white bread, peanut-butter-and-honey sandwiches, and hamburgers. Whichever item Scheib had at the ready, the president would reject. (Scheib learned to anticipate this, keeping all four foods prepared at all times.) In his final weeks on the job, Scheib admitted he was fired, rather than saying he resigned. For this perceived act of disloyalty, he was immediately dismissed. The chef does not reveal whether Bush then turned over his bowl of Cheerios.

TROTS,

Oh look, here’s a sweet game you can play. Chase the parrot!

You can place your parrot on the bed, outside, or on a blanket on the floor and chase them around. Most parrots thoroughly enjoy this game.

Here’s some helpful parrot dancing tips, but I’m not sure it’s wise to do this in front of the children:

Play your parrots favorite music and encourage them to dance around with you. If you have children have them dance in front of the parrots cage. This will get the parrot excited and jumping around with the child. This will tire both parrot and child out. Always supervise children and parrots.

You are so welcome!

Still a long way to go. My hope is Obama will force something original from his opponents. Right.

I was not supporting CAFE in that reference - some were oohing and aahing over Sen C’s corporate raiding policy - my point was simply she was part of a “team” for eight years and their record for taking any serious, meaningful action to even mildly shake up the status quo was zilch.

Some may protest the changes in vehicle design and purchasing habits wasn’t Clinton’s fault. By their own logic, anything (italics) that happens on Pres Bush’s watch is his fault - more than that, he plots and plans to the nth degree and personally directs minute actions. Sooo, heavier-than-necessary, more powerful engines than necessary, consuming more gasoline than necessary - happened on her and her husband’s watch - so it’s her fault.

A long time ago, our point of view Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew And now the world is full of sorrow and pain And it’s time for us to speak up again

You’re slack and sorry Such an arrogant brood The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food We sit here staring at your pomp and pout Outside the bars we use for keeping you out

You’ve taken everything that you wanted Broke it up and plundered it and hunted Ever since we said it You went and took the credit It’s been headed this way since the world began When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Monkey to Man

Every time man struggles and fails He makes up some kind of fairytales After all of the misery that he has caused He denies he’s descended from the dinosaurs

Points up to heaven with cathedral spires All the time indulging in his base desires Ever since we said it He went and took the credit It’s been headed this way since the world began When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Monkey to Man

Big and useless as he has become With his crying statues and his flying bomb Goes ‘round acting like the chosen one Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin

He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes Hoping to hell someone’s forgiven his crimes Fills up the air with his pride and praise He’s a big disgrace to our beastly ways

In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts Ever since we said it He went and took the credit It’s been headed this way since the world began When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Rev Sharpton has no credibility with some here - he’s a sinner - he regularly appears on O’Reilly’s tv show. I think he’s great to watch - he and O’Reilly really enjoy each other’s company.

Rev Jackson - Rev? oh yeah, a divinity degree based on “life experience.” Anyone who can be a good Baptist minister - and have beer distributorships for his kids - well, no inconsistency there, is there, uberleft? (Just wondering now why they don’t include Rev Jackson in their list of hypocritical ministers - guess it includes only Republicans?).

I’m writing this with a smile - no need to get ugly about this. But when the uberleft loves to attack a group for “not following teachings” “living what they preach” well, something like this pops up and there is the typical silence. Ever notice how quick some are to define “correct” behavior for a group they have no association with and pass judgement?

It’s a matter of degree and is based upon what one considers important. I’m not about to get into a comparative “this is worse than that” - not my place. So Rev Jackson had an affair and a child? He broke his vows? Just like - who - Haggard? Only difference I see there is society has less forgiveness against a man (I’m not saying Haggard is gay, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised - big deal) and having sex with a man than with a woman. It’s still adultery, according to their beliefs as I understand them. One calls for “murder” - the other constructs legal shams for corporate shakedowns and resists financial accountability.

My point was that some will judge and condemn some clergy and not others - with a main cause seeming to be one is a Democrat and the other a Republican.

Many of the same themes - Eden (earth in a pure, pre-Adamic state) the Fall (pollution) Fall from Grace (people destroying Earth) (he didn’t mention Savior but you can guess :) ) and so on.

It’s not just about what he did himself; it’s about the bigoted beliefs he expressed daily and then the fact that he was taking part in that type of behavior himself, in addition to other illegal behavior. I’m not going to tell you god doesn’t exist (which he doesn’t) and then go to church and repent, although there would be less wrong with that than trying to get people to hate homosexuals and then giving a man a bl0wj0b and doing speed.

Since someone like myself is younger than the three of you, it would mean that you are a bit closer to our ape origins. As additional evidence, we have the fact that you harbor vestiges of our primitive past- dogmatic belief in nonsensical mythology- while the more highly educated individuals like rushncap, Huge, and myself recognize the vacuous and harmful nature of your fictitious beliefs. You cannot recognize the difference between fact and opinion, as evidenced by your use of silly, biased editorials to support your opinions, not to mention your religious beliefs, which clearly have no logical or empirical basis.

As for Granny,

It�s not like you to ever acknowledge being wrong, even if it is in a hostile, hateful manner, which IS very much like you. I�m still waiting to hear how you contribute anything to society or humanity. We know that your main objective is self-preservation and your thought process is dominated by self-interest. We just hope there is something, anything more than that, because THAT is the mark of a truly miserable existence if that�s all you�ve got.

And rw @ 6:58,

The world would only be a better place through the use of a blade if it was used on you. But the kind of thinking you showed in that post was certainly representative of a �righteous christian� like yourself, encouraging the suicide of someone you disagree with. I�m sure Jesus would be very pleased with you if only he were real. That�s also the kind of thinking that makes it apparent how you can continue to support a war that brings the world nothing but death, hatred, and the propagation of terrorism. Of course, all that will be cleared up when your apocalypse comes.
