The nation watches in horror as the angry lying sack of sh!t marxist man hating lesbian baby killer Hitlery KKKlinton and the backstabbing white people-hating black supremacist islamafacist traitor BaRAT Hussein Osama and his “God Damn America” hate-spouting accomplice the DISHONORABLE Reverend? JEREMIAH REICH plot to take over the USA by way of the Presidency so that the can force their special brand of left-wing marxism through mind control and political correctness. The American People are just toying with the DEMONCRAP party. Good God-fearing Americans have NEVER seriously considered will NEVER vote for an angry marxist promiscuous lesbian and/or an angry black marxist islamafacist traitor with a hateful backstabbing turncoat quack preacher as his top advisor who hates America and the white people in it! Get real traitors! Speaking of angry sack of sh!t crossdressing homosexual marxist traitors, where’s IN THE (Hussein) OOZE with her daily dose of anti-American, anti-military, pro-Islamafacist fake news report propaganda.

Yesterday in the Urinal:

{{{{Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki sent a top general to hold talks with al-Sadr, his Shiite rival, on Saturday night only to be rebuffed by the firebrand cleric, an Iraqi official said. Al-Sadr ordered his followers to defy government orders to surrender their weapons. The prime minister acknowledged he may have miscalculated by failing to foresee the strong backlash that this week’s offensive provoked in areas of Baghdad and other cities where Shiite militias wield power.-Urinal}}}}

Today in the Urinal:

{{{{Baghdad —- Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said Sunday he was pulling his fighters off the streets nationwide and called on the government to stop “haphazard raids” against his followers and release security detainees who haven’t been charged.-Urinal}}}}

How about that, the AJC spent all that thought and effort to pump up their newest anti American action figure and what does it do after they blow it all the way up?

Turns right around and runs from the battlefield in terror just like a lib would.

And the “strong horse” remains.

~~~~~

Readers write the Urinal:

{{{{Mike, are you feeling all right?- I was pleased to read the cartoon poking fun at Hillary Clinton’s exaggerated “critical involvement” in her husband’s administration.}}}}

Yeah, so now cartoon boy get’s to call himself a “moderate,” after all these years of doing it anyway without the credentials.

And I wouldn’t call dissing the KKKlintons the most selfless act of bravery, I mean, everybody and their uncle is doing it.

{{{{While “An Inconvenient Truth” urged viewers to fully inflate their car tires and to install compact fluorescent light bulbs to combat global warming, Gore said he is now focused on ensuring that the United States enacts a national carbon emission cap and ratifies a new global pact on climate change in the next three years. “The simple algorithm is this: It’s important to change the light bulbs, but it’s much more important to change the laws,” he said. “The options available to civilization worldwide to avert this terribly destructive pattern are beginning to slip away from us. The path for recovery runs right through Washington, D.C.”}}}}

So now we want to turn environmental terrorism into law, eh?

~~~~~

{{{{Then there’s nuclear power. It leaves virtually no carbon footprint, but plant construction has slowed to a virtual halt because of the regulatory burden imposed on nuclear energy by local and federal governments. Lightening this burden would allow nuclear to compete properly with coal and natural gas, again to the benefit of the climate.}}}}

{{{{Natural gas has half the carbon footprint of coal. There is enough of it off the Gulf Coast to power American industry for 30 years, but it remains locked away because the federal government refuses to open it up to exploration. A certain someone could pressure his colleagues to do just that.}}}}

So what do the environmental terrorists want to do?

“Sequester” carbon, hahaha.

How about just not producing it?

WHICH CHARACTER IS IT THAT IS ALWAYS OFF TO STRATFOR? SORT OF A MILITARISTIC T.T.F.N.

“Stratfor is one of these snake-oil disinfo sales firms that traffics in “intelligence briefings” for people gullible enough to pay for them. Imagine that: you can get lied to for free all over this great land, but some people actually pay to be deceived! Stratfor’s track record in Latin America is abhorrent (how many years in a row did it predict that Hugo Chavez would not survive that year as Venezuela’s president?). It’s “spin” is ideological: pro-corporate, which is no surprise, given that it’s undisclosed clientele purchases something called “Business Intelligence Services. In my opinion, Stratfor engages in circulating disinformation into the datasphere through its free and paid email memos in ways that seem aimed to help the agendas of that very same corporate world that contracts its services.” ” - Al Giordano [2], details what he calls “20 Stratfor Lies about Latin America”

“The intelligence community’s greatest failure, we continue to insist, was not about WMD, serious as that was. The greatest failure was the complete miscalculation on Iraq’s plans for fighting the war. U.S. and British intelligence both believed that the destruction of the Iraqi military and the fall of Baghdad would end organized resistance. The failure to provide an accurate analysis of the Iraqi war plan was an inexcusable failure: You can explain Sept. 11 or the WMD, if you want, but there is no explanation for the failure to identify a war plan that hundreds, if not thousands, in Iraq were privy to via training, the establishment of arms caches, regional commanders and communications nets. Even Stratfor wrote that Saddam Hussein seemed to be developing some plan for postwar resistance, although we weren’t sure what it was. The intelligence failure about the guerrillas should have resulted in a massive overhaul in the intelligence community. Yet nothing has happened — they are all still there.” - Intelligence Failure Geopolitical Diary: Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2004 January 29, 2004 0533 GMT

“These larger, high-end companies look down on Stratfor, which has four Web sites — including one for the energy industry and one specifically for the Iraq war — with sharp graphics, a pop-up window and various price packages, starting as low

Should the Pledge of Allegience supercede the Lord’s Prayer?

The key to peace is how the new Iraqi army reflects on their own islamic beliefs as it pertains to fighting Sadr in conflict with all the mystical brainwashing they’ve absorbed in their young lives. If they realize, like we did, that the pledge of allegience supercedes the Lord’s Prayer, then we’ve won. If not, we’ll never get out of there.

So why is he trying to run from his 100% liberal voting record, is he embarrassed or something?:

{{{{During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion– positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he’s projected during his presidential campaign.}}}}

{{{{But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago non-profit group that issued it. And it found that Obama – the day after sitting for the interview – filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes adding to one answer.}}}}

{{{{“Sen. Obama didn’t fill out these state Senate questionnaires – a staffer did – and there are several answers that didn’t reflect his views then or now,” said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama’s campaign, in an emailed statement.}}}}

Oh, so he has no idea what his positions are, he needs to check with his staff, I got it.

~~~~~

{{{{Newsweek’s largely biographical cover story did a little digging and found that his personal life stories as told by Obama are frequently contrived, and not entirely accurate: “like any good mythmaker, Obama sands down pieces that don’t quite fit.” Reverting to the name “Barack” after years of being known as “Barry,” he was, according to Newsweek, a “bit of a poseur” — a master of “self-creation” whose own yarns “made the murkier aspects of life coherent, or at least gave him confidence — that he could author his own life story, and thus become a master of the tale and not a victim.”}}}}

I read here almost every day people calling conservatives morons or worse and using filthy language which was once considered completely out of bounds in polite company. And you know what? THEY ARE RIGHT!!!!

You then turn around and call conservatives “hate-filled.” Again, you are SPOT ON!!!

The wingnut hypocrisy on this matter is enough to turn off anyone whom you are trying to convince. It is rather like the Communists who accused anyone disagreeing with them as being the true pigs and imperialist manipulators when they were doing exactly what they accused the ‘enemies of the people’ of doing. And wingnuts know all about pigs. Look at Rush. Doesn’t he look like Porky’s brother? And Boortz does have that Petunia thing going, right?

The Nation — John McCain, unlike his Democratic rivals, seems indifferent to the problems of struggling Americans. Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich captured McCain’s stance when —on ABC’s “This Week” roundtable—he called the Republican nominee the “let them eat cake” candidate.

n these days, when as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman points out, ” even free-market enthusiasts are talking about increased regulation of securities firms now that the fed has shown that it will rush to their rescue if they get in trouble…Mr. McCain is selling the same old snake oil, claiming that deregulation and tax cuts cure all ills.”

The general co-chairman of John McCain’s presidential campaign, former Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas), led the charge in 1999 to repeal a Depression-era banking regulation law that Democrat Barack Obama claimed on Thursday contributed significantly to today’s economic turmoil.

“A regulatory structure set up for banks in the 1930s needed to change because the nature of business had changed,” the Illinois senator running for president said in a New York economic speech. “But by the time [it] was repealed in 1999, the $300 million lobbying effort that drove deregulation was more about facilitating mergers than creating an efficient regulatory framework.”

Gramm’s role in the swift and dramatic recent restructuring of the nation’s investment houses and practices didn’t stop there.

A year after the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed the old regulations, Swiss Bank UBS gobbled up brokerage house Paine Weber. Two years later, Gramm settled in as a vice chairman of UBS’s new investment banking arm.

Later, he became a major player in its government affairs operation. According to federal lobbying disclosure records, Gramm lobbied Congress, the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department about banking and mortgage issues in 2005 and 2006.

During those years, the mortgage industry pressed Congress to roll back strong state rules that sought to stem the rise of predatory tactics used by lenders and brokers to place homeowners in high-cost mortgages.

For his work, Gramm and two other lobbyists collected $750,000 in fees from UBS’s American subsidiary. In the past year, UBS has written down more then $18 billion in exposure to subprime loans and other risky securities and is considering cutting as many as 8,000 jobs.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson said that he is leaving office on April 18 “to attend more diligently to personal and family matters.”

Jackson, who took office in March 2004, made no mention of federal investigations into whether he influenced the awarding of contracts.

In recent days, lawmakers have said Jackson should resign as the clouds over his role risked distracting the agency from addressing the worst housing bust in generations.

Girl From Bosnia Scandal Surprised By Clinton LIE

I think it would be great if the little girl from the Bosnia Scandal and the little girl from the 3am Ad came together to make an ad against HRC…….lol.

March 31, 2008 — SARAJEVO, Bosnia - The Bosnian girl who famously read a poem to Hillary Rodham Clinton during her 1996 visit to the war-torn country is shocked - and her countrymen infuriated - that the former first lady claimed to have dodged sniper fire that day.

Emina Bicakcic, now 20 and studying to become a doctor, told The Post she stood on the tarmac at the air base in Tuzla, greeted Clinton and even had time to share the lines of verse she’d written - all without fear of attack from an unseen enemy.

“I was surprised when I heard this,” Bicakcic said, referring to Clinton’s assertion that she braved snipers upon landing, ducking and sprinting to military vehicles.

Other Bosnians said they had one of two reactions to Clinton’s debunked action-hero account of her visit: laughter or anger.

“It’s an exaggeration,” said former acting President Ejup Ganic, who was present during Clinton’s visit. “No one was firing. There were no shots fired.

Sema Markovic, 22, a student, said she has long respected Hillary as a strong leader but was angered by her remarks.

“It is an ugly thing for a politician to tell lies,’ she said. “We had problems for years, and I don’t like when someone lies about them. It makes us look bad.

Bicakcic, asked if she feared any threat of violence that day, said she felt just the opposite.

“No,” she said, speaking at her home in Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital. “I was just excited. I wanted to look [Clinton] in the eye and say, ‘Thank you.

And Clinton, she said, seemed far more interested in her poem than in dashing for shelter.

“She was really listening,” Bicakcic recalled. “She was drinking in every word of my poem.

Bicakcic said she was reluctant to criticize Clinton’s account of that day because of a deep appreciation for the US role in ending Bosnia’s bloody nightmare.

A picture of the girl’s meeting with the then-first lady - signed and inscribed by Clinton - has become a treasured family heirloom.

Obama win appears big in Texas delegate battle By Anna M. Tinsley, Aman Batheja and Sarah Bahari | Fort Worth Star-Telegam Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2008

Barrack Obama appeared to have scored a clear victory over Hillary Clinton on Saturday in the second step of Texas’ multi-tiered process for selecting its delegates to the Democratic National Convention. With results available from about half of the district conventions held statewide, the Associated Press reported that Obama had won 59 percent of the delegates headed to the state party’s June convention to Clinton’s 41 percent. That translates into 1,858 delegates for Obama and 1,270 for Clinton.

That result made it likely that when the delegate selection process is finally completed, Obama will have more Texas delegates to the national convention than Clinton, despite Clinton’s having won the March 4 primary vote 51 to 47 percent. Under Texas’ delegate selection process, 67 of its 206 delegates are selected by the June state party convention.

Tens of thousands of Texas Democrats turned out for Saturday’s district conventions in a chaotic day in which many of the meetings in Texas’ large cities lasted late into the night. Some delegates — confused and frustrated by hours-long delays, disorder and disorganization — gave up on the process and left, still not sure if their vote counted. “Please move a bit faster,” urged delegate Whitney Larkins, who attended the largest senatorial district in Fort Worth gathered at the Will Rogers Coliseum. “Have some consideration. Think about those of us who took time out of our lives to participate in this.”

Given that we agree that almost 70% of Americans hate America and are Islomo-Facsist, communists, don’t youthink we ought to start killing these people, and in a hurry. It seems to me that we either let the non-Americans take over America or we kill them first. I just think its a shame that American are allowed to have non-American views and even vote. I think we ought to have you create a questionairre for every American to determine their Americanism. A few examples might be:

Did you vote for George Bush twice?

Do you think that thinking for yourself is is bad?

Do you think that adopting th eopinions of radio talk show hosts as your own is a good thing?

Good toon ML. I agree that China is the most terrifying threat to Democracy to ever rear its’ ugly head; even more so since the Clinton and Bush administrations have so empowered them via open trading and the unreasoned borrowing of trillions of greenbacks to finance a war that always had very little chance of increasing America’s world standing to begin with.

Republican Regulators- Nice link. This is only one example of the many recent bitter pills that the Reps have been forced to grudgingly swallow as regards their blind and thoughtless deregulatory efforts. Reps have an extremely narrow economic view that has failed them in their 3 past occupations of the Whitehouse. I am hopeful that they will not have another DINO (Clinton) administration to further their most recent failure in supply-side economic mismanagement.

As has always been the case, in order for the supply-side theory to work, we would either have to raise the impoverished lower classes of all third-world nations to equal that of our own, or we would have to further drive our own lower classes into equivalent status as those third-world societies instead. I’m not sure which scenario would be more repugnant.

While I do not advocate thoughtless protectionism, it has become increasingly clear that in this new global economy only well-reasoned and astutely applied regulatory efforts will succeed in maintaining America’s status atop the world financial pyramid.

Scott Burns makes a good case for much more stringent financial regulations, including the establishment of an “FFA — a Federal Financial Authority. Similar to the FDA (the Food and Drug Administration), the FFA would rate financial securities. It would place warning labels on subprime mortgages and securities derived from them. The FFA would also rate the safety of investment banks, insurance companies, hedge funds and commercial banks.”

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama has gained another superdelegate. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar endorsed her Illinois colleague Sunday night, saying in a statement that Obama “has inspired an enthusiasm and idealism that we have not seen in this country in a long time.”

It is the latest development among many that have been putting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on its heels. On Monday, Obama was poised to receive the endorsement of the seven Democrats on North Carolina’s congressional delegation, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Obama also got support last week from Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, a key endorsement three weeks before the Keystone State holds its primary.

The Klobuchar, Casey and expected North Carolina lawmaker endorsements are crucial, because all of them will be superdelegates at the August party convention.

The Journal reported that while Clinton still leads Obama in the superdelegate tally, Clinton has won only nine superdelegate pledges to Obama’s 64 since Super Tuesday. Because neither candidate is likely to gain the 2,025 delegates necessary to clinch the nomination before the convention, the candidates have turned toward racking up as many of the approximately 800 superdelegates who aren’t bound by state nominating contests.Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean on Friday called for the remaining undecided superdelegates to make up their minds by July 1 in an effort to avert a convention crisis. His comments came the same day Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy said Clinton’s campaign was a lost cause and she should drop out of the race.

The latest Gallup Daily tracking poll (March 27-29; 1,228 Democratic, Democratic-leaning voters; +/-3 percent margin of error) shows Clinton ceding more ground nationally to Obama, who now leads 52 percent to 42 percent.

The poll was conducted as both Clinton and Obama fought off public criticism — Clinton for falsely insisting she had landed under sniper fire in a 1996 trip to war-torn Bosnia, and Obama for being a longtime member of the Chicago church headed by the bombastic Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.

Klobuchar, in her first term in the Senate, said Obama speaks “with a different voice, bringing a new perspective and inspiring a real excitement from the American people.” She compared him to the late Hubert Humphrey, who served as a senator from Minnesota and as vice president under Lyndon Johnson.

“For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican’s yearbook.

He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent”

Now, I may be wrong here, but is Catholiscism a RELIGION in and of itself? Aren’t they part of the Christianity? And is anyone surprised that Muslims are outnumbering Catholics? Not so much surprised here.

You’d think these knuckle-dragging “holes in the fossil record” neoliths would ultimately EVOLVE and give up the moronic pretense!

BTW, the ad with Robertson and Sharpton is very clever and I can imagine the Gingrich and Pelosi one is as well.

It will be interesting to see if “the wobbles in the earth’s orbit” or “variations in the sun’s temperature” “argument” is posited!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Vice President Al Gore on Monday launched a three-year, multimillion-dollar advocacy campaign calling for the U.S. to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.

The Alliance for Climate Protection’s campaign, dubbed “we,” will combine advertising, online organizing and partnerships with grassroots groups to educate the public about global warming and urge solutions from elected officials.

“We’re trying to get a movement happening to switch public opinion so that our leaders feel, ‘Wow! We really need to make this a top priority issue,’” Alliance CEO Cathy Zoi told The Associated Press.

An advertising campaign will equate the climate-change movement with other grand historic endeavors, like stopping fascism in Europe during World War II, overcoming segregation in the United States and putting the first man on the moon.

Some advertisements will feature bipartisan pairs, such as the Rev. Al Sharpton with Pat Robertson and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Zoi said.

Mike’s cartoon is condemning China’s record on civil liberties and/or human rights, specifically the recent events in Tibet. He is also condemning corporate sponsors of the Olympics because like most heads of state, they will kowtow to China regardless of their crushing the political movement in Tibet.

As far as Catholicism & Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church considers itself, well, itself. Remember that other Christ-based religions are offshoots of Catholicism. Well, maybe not the Coptics. But certainly the Russian and Greek Orthodox churches, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians/Anglicans, Latter Day Saints, 7th Day Adventists, Amish, etc. are evolved (devolved?) from the Catholics.

Well, either words have meaning or they dont. We have the recorded text. Christ started his own church. Then, Martin Luther, moved to desperation by the greed, corruption, and sexual perversion he witnessed first hand in the Vatican, decided that Christ couldn’t possibly have known what he was doing and began protestantism.

SO, if you want to trust your soul to Martin Luther, and not Christ, then by all means, become a Lutheran, or any protestant.

However, if you feel the sacrifice of the ages offered to heaven by Christ on the Cross, and know that he was the Son of God, in the flesh, tortured and crucified for a reason that will have to remain with the mysteries of those same ages, then you needs to talk to a nun.

Is there an all out war to the finish in our future? Islam vs Christianity?

Is it dead ahead? Did you allow yourself to hate the 911 conspirators enough to inflect generically your disdain upon all all arabs or all muslims?

Sadr has real power. He can stop war. He can start war. I volunteer to get him. My price is 100 million dollars, and all I ask if for one den of cub scouts armed with sling shots, and give me three days in Basra, and I’ll get that SOB and deliver him to Bush in the Oval Office, alive and kicked. Take that you rat!

BUt guess what? Bush doesn’t want Sadr captured. Why not? Cause that would mean the end of the war. So what? That would mean the end of the billions flowing into Cheney’s old cronies at haliburton et al.

And everyone knows it. I’m not blogging anything all you good folks dont know is true in your heart of hearts.

Obama. 08. He’s in your heart of hearts, and boy, has he got a pulse.

Confidential to Pete Geren:

How can you expect us to be truthful when your administration lies obfuscates and prevaricates continuously and holds such disdain for the Fourth Estate?

You can’t have it both ways, Petee-boy!!

Paulson’s new regulations eases regulation. I knew w would never do anything for the people. Bail out Wall Street with your money is socialism and corporate welfare.

Sure vote for mclobbyist for more corporate welfare. Stay the course in the mistake of Iraq and more wars.

But the me generation will vote that way so be ready for nothing to change.

Amazing but you get what you vote for.

When the phone rings at 3 a.m. will ‘Grandpa McCain’ even hear it.

McCain has as much a grasp on foreign policy as his clone, W!

Tootman: I guess you are the only person on the world who hasn’t gotten the memo yet, so allow me:

{{{{Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” helped Clinton to garner more votes in the Texas and Ohio primary according to exit polls: For a party that loves to hate the Clintons, Republican voters have cast an awful lot of ballots lately for Senator Hillary Clinton: About 100,000 GOP loyalists voted for her in Ohio, 119,000 in Texas, and about 38,000 in Mississippi, exit polls show.}}}}

Did I hear something? It sounded like a little Chihuahua yapping something about “Limberger” or “Limpbag?” It was kind of muddled by the sound of Oxycotin addiction!!

Actually, it was the sweet sound of neocon fear!!

Oh so little they know!!

Moral liberals! Pantywaist, bleeding-heart, tree-hugging progressives, UNITE!!

P.S. Go Braves!

As a right-wing nut job, I don’t see why it is surprising to see “GOP loyalists” voting for Clinton. If history tells us anything it is that “GOP loyalists” are attracted to the candidate who has the highest lie per minute rating. Hillary’s ‘LPM’ rate is increasing on a daily basis. The longer Hillary stays in the race “GOP loyalists” will be attracted to her like bugs to a light. I’d be willing to bet that if she came out tommorrow and said that Saddam had WMD when we invaded and that Saddam ordered 911, the GOP might draft her at their convention.

(((It’s called artistic license.)))

No AmVet, it’s got nothin’ to do with writing style. RW was right….

More like a subway turnstile and a token gives you license to the underground where your repetition renders a weary traveler comatose, and unimpressed.

You’re no e e cummings, Ezra Pound’s more your style.
