Maybe if they were doing something worthwile with the tax money they already have, like, for instance, reducing traffic congestion, providing low cost, abundant water or a quality education for our children, then the “birthday tax” wouldn’t be that big of a deal.

But, instead, they want to increase the size of the no account, unproductive, mindless bureaucracy.

I don’t get the joke either.

See if you can make any sense of this:

{{{{Iran reformists face uphill battle. Liberals’ reality: Avoid a sweep by old guard. Tehran, Iran —- Hardliners allied with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took a small lead in Iran’s parliamentary elections, according to partial results early today, but reformists showed strength in some cities where the clerical leadership allowed them to compete.-Urinal}}}}

Allowed to compete: Here, put your ballot in that box and then go stand in line so we can stone you to death.

And the Urinal just plays right along with the terrorists like it is all legitimate.

Who would have ever thought the pinkos at the AJC would be in favor of extremist religious rule?

Christianity must be too mild for them, eh?

{{{{Obama denounces pastor’s remarks-Urinal}}}}

Yeah, O.K. AJC.

~~~~~

{{{{Oklahoma City —- A YouTube audio clip of a state lawmaker’s screed against homosexuality, which she called a bigger threat than terrorism, has outraged gay activists and brought death threats rolling in.-Urinal}}}}

Not that I agree with the statement but apparently she’s got a point.

After all, terrorism is just a bumper sticker, right?

{{{{What stood out for many about the trial was one of the jurors. He was deaf. Though a deaf juror is not unprecedented, it is rare, according to jury experts and advocates for the hearing impaired, and it was a first for the veteran judge, the attorneys and the other jurors.

{{{{“I thought it was a special thing for the judicial system and for the community,” said Senior Judge Stephanie Manis, who has served on the Superior Court bench since 1995.-Urinal}}}}

Why does it always amaze a pinko when the disadvantaged forego the whining about their victim status and just take the responsibility to lead normal, productive lives?

Novel idea, isn’t it?

{{{{Late Wednesday afternoon, Sen.Wayne Allard (R-Co.) introduced Amendment 4246 into the Senate budget debate. The amendment, which Allard calls “The Obama Spend-o-Rama” proposes funding 111 of the 188 spending proposals put out so far during Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) presidential campaign. (These were the proposals which Allard’s staff had time to analyze before the GOP leadership asked him to offer the amendment on the floor.) According to Allard, “There are another 77 proposals with unknown cost estimates that will add billions to this number.”}}}}

{{{{Allard freely admits that he will oppose his own amendment and urges other Senators to do the same. But, as a senior Senate staffer pointed out to HUMAN EVENTS, “Let’s see how many Senators who have endorsed Obama will actually vote for his budget.”}}}}

{{{{Some of the numbers around the federal budget are incomprehensibly large. How do you wrap your mind around a 5-year cost of $1.4 trillion?}}}}

{{{{The Allard amendment went down to a 97-0 defeat late Thursday afternoon, to nobody’s surprise.}}}}

All of the libs in the Senate voting against the kampaign promises of their presidential kandidates, does this not raise a few questions?

Are the two light weights, Obambi and Klux Rodham, lying to their voters?

Are they unable to comprehend what they are promising?

Are they approaching their policy ideas unilaterally without any consensus from other lawmakers?

Geez.

Good mmorning Jim.As I stated yesterday,the trauma tax will increase yearly until the savings realized by the tax cut are again collected.Since ths is a flat tax,the people with the new,expensive cars will pay less and the people with the old clunkers will pay more.I suppose this seems fair except that the people with new,expensive tend to use their vehicles more than people with old clunkers.Sort of redistributing the tax burden downward.

Well, Joe Bill wired up a TV in my beer truck and I’m all set for watching the NCAA tournament while I deliver beer next week. Anyhow, my advise to you is not to do any driving on Thursday and Friday afternoon, as I get kind of caught up in sports and don’t pay much attention to the road. Us rednecks love our sports. GA rednecks have been meeting up in bars all over the state to watch games this week and its great for business.

I see that woman that led Spitzer astray up in NY has moved out of her apartment now. Seems the women living there got tired of paying $6900 a month and seeing 100s of news people outside the building. It always happens that way. Same thing happened to Ida Mae Brown back when she said was saving preachers by paying calls on them. The women ganged up and she was out of the trailer park lickety-split.

I don’t hold with this $10 car tax. Like this AJC Management says, it will just go up and up. AJC Management might be a little touched at times and dribble along like a guy with a case of the runs, but sometimes he makes alot of sense. Besides, I don’t want my money for a liscence tag going to a bunch of Those People down at Grady.

Well, I guess I’ll watch my Dawgs play today. God must of not wanted them to play last night so he sent some winds that run them out of the building. Anyway, they been loosing so much this year you can’t tell them apart from a Tech team. That woman that come in there a few years ago and made them start going to class just ruint the Dawgs except in football. Leave it to a woman to ruin a good thing.

First off, Sonny’s “joke” jibe comes as a shock to me, because I truly thought the late Governor had been heard from last down in Florida, where a couple fraternity boys were arrested for playing “Weekend at Bernie’s” with Sonny’s corporeal tent. But evidently he wasn’t dead when he made this “joke”, and yet last night he was nowhere to be found when Downtown was thrust into a natural disaster emergency. So now I don’t know what to think. If Sonny Perdue is actually still living and is still governing Georgia, maybe the joke’s on us.

Do you want to give up breathing, or do you just naturally thrive on dirty air that’s baking the Earth to a polluted CRISP?

Keep the local ad valorum (car tax) on cars & houses. That is money spent in my local community (Gwinnett County) that is a direct benefit to me. I can see road improvements, police presence, fire stations & libraries, etc., as a result of this tax. Plus I get to vote for/against those who spend my money thus collected.

If we are going to have tax reform in Georgia, why don’t we reduce the state income tax that goes a long way toward paying the salaries of idots such as Glenn Richardson, Speaker of the House. Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave at what the present generation of ‘Reagan Republicans’ are trying to do in his name & as a result of his legacy.

Move the power & $$ back down the chain to the local level - to quote John Lennon “Power to the People!” NOT to Glenn Richardson & others of his ilk who think they know better than ME as to how to deal with MY money.

No country made no sense. Seasoned drug war survivors at every level let themselves be sitting ducks when everyone involved has machine pistols and hand cannons? Lazy writing.

Every scene shows the bad guy bursting into another hotel room and killing drug banditos at point blank range like they never thought anyone would ambush them simply because they’re trying to get their 2.4 million. Ridiculous. If you or I were on the trail of the money left over in a drug deal gone bad, we’d never check into a hotel and watch tv. We’d be smarter, and we’re not even drug players.

This is just stupid lazy movie making. Tommy Lee Jones has the money. He talks about lying. He recounts his dream of getting money and losing it.

The Bad Guy goes back to the hotel room to look for the money long after the banditos rushed pell mell from the last shootout over the money, so they couldn’t have had it, or the Bad Guy woulda known it and gone after them, found them, burst into the hotel room they had just checked into, and keeled them a thousand times….. No, Tommy Lee Jones was the first on the scene, and he knew where the money would be and he took it.

The most inexpicable scene in the movie was when Tommy Lee Jones went back to the last hotel room crime scene. I understand why he went in, because he had to convince the Bad Guy that he, too, didn’t have the money. But the Bad Guy was waiting for him behind the door. Why didn’t he simply shoot Tommy Lee Jones? And where did the Bad Guy go when Tommy Lee Jones busted open the door? He was right there, six inches away from Tommy Lee Jones, standing holding his shotgun right behind the door that Tommy Lee Jones just kicked open. He’s a ghost, I know. Great writing.

{{{{On the other hand, the financial system also can’t function properly if every institution believes it is “too big to fail.” That’s an invitation for everyone to behave the way Bear Stearns did in the mortgage securities market. This means that if taxpayer funds are going to be used to rescue Bear, then Bear’s private actors need to accept their own form of discipline.}}}}

Ding, ding, ding, the Wall Street Journal wins a prize.

The Fed is funding risky behaviour by bailing out lenders from their bad loans, which is probably the wise thing to do, after all, a banking free fall would not be of any positive benefit right now.

But from here on out, no more risky loans to the poor, the lazy or the financial dimwits.

Let’s let them move into cardboard boxes, and ban outdoor fires at the same time, then we will have a nice safe mortgage industry and plus, all these former home owners will be carbon neutral!

After all, government intervention in the private sector never caused any harm, has it?

On second thought, scratch all that^^.

You libs and your little election year kkkampaign to downgrade the economy, and you know full well what I’m talking about, are intentionally harming the least among us, the poor and the needy.

Would Jesus employ such tactics?

You, Code Pinko, are the cause of high energy prices, with your junk science alarmism and your blatant over regulation of the private energy sector.

Do you truly believe that your calls to tax the “windfall profits” of “big oil” has no effect on energy prices?

Energy prices that add costs to the operations of almost every industry; food, transportation, manufacturing?

How about your presidential kkkandidates and their hollow promises of increased government spending, which can only lead to higher taxes?

Do you think this does not have a negative effect on the actions of the investor class?

And how about you “news” paper propaganda kampaign to spin every bit of economic news to portray the worst scenario possible. Up to and including the most absolute bald faced lies that you can scheme up, see Krugman, Paul?

Just to name a few of your sick, depraved little plots.

Behold the havoc that you have wrought, Power Hungry demokrats, the suffering that you have caused doesn’t bother you in the least bit, does it?

And Republicans, why the silence? Why not frame these actions so that all can understand them?

Make the average dimwit understand how the demokrats are deliberately harming their economic situation, raising the costs of their basic necessities, stagnating their wages, losing their jobs.

Let me guess how this will end if the auto tax is removed. Next year, the Republican legislature will discover there’s not enough money to fund everything, so Peachcare and Medicaid and other services for the poor will get whacked. “Starve the beast,” right, jbmlaw?

And the year after that we’ll see the imposition of an additional penny’s sales tax to fund “essential public services.” There’s nothing like some good old-fashioned tax-shifting from the affluent to the poor and middle class. Bush redux. Also, the legislature seems to be ignoring the fact that it’s counties, not the state, that would be giving up the revenue. But then, “local control” is OK as a Republican philosophy but irrelevant when the issue comes down to centralization of power in a Republican legislature.

So watch out, homeowners. If you think your property taxes are high now, just wait until the counties start scrambling for funds to pay for schools and other services.

{{{{Hope alone won’t carry us through the valley of the shadow of debt. The fact that neither Mrs. Clinton nor Mr. Obama has made cost-cutting a part of their political vocabulary is a clear indication that they would increase spending. In fact, Mrs. Clinton has already proven skillful at snagging pork. Over the past few years alone, she has attached some $2.2 billion in earmarks to federal spending bills. Mr. McCain has asked for exactly $0 in earmarks.}}}}

{{{{And while Mr. Obama’s oratorical skills have been inspiring, his proposals would entail roughly the same $800 billion in new government spending that Mrs. Clinton proposes. To his credit, Mr. Obama admits that his spending proposals will take more than three clicks of his heels to fund. He would pay for his priorities with a bevy of tax increases which he hopes taxpayers won’t notice.}}}}

{{{{But taxpayers will notice. Mr. Obama plans to raise taxes on capital gains, dividends and corporate profits. He wants to hike estate taxes by 50%. And he wants to eliminate the cap on payroll taxes. These tax hikes would increase the burden borne by individuals and decrease the competitiveness of our economy.}}}}

We need to send these tax money mongering dimwit liberals back to the little race baiting victim industries from whence they came.

Or we could just let them completely ruin the demokrat party with their bigot festival presidential nomination process.

Some people are consistent — aren’t they? Cagle has been busy dumping some of his perverse views on the public at least since he was a state senator. So, when he says that he wants a broad economic stimulus plan, he could likely mean that he just wants some of his supporters to be able to spread the crap out over a larger surface area. Just go back and look closely at Senate Bill 54 that he sponsored in 2005. The next time you are standing knee deep in crap and still can’t figure out where the smell is coming from, look no farther than your Incumbent Georgia Republican.

I think you understand the Democrats only too well. Their ‘Undermine the USA’ started almost eight years ago when they lost the election. Since then it has been a policy of wreck anything so they can say Bush did it!!(meaning Republicans, of course). Everything from anti-war, anti-military such as anti-surge lies, anti-Katrina efforts, oil accusations,endless investigations amounting to nothing but expense. The list goes on.

I would hope that sensible Democrats would reign in this major subversive element. But, so far, I don’t see much hope in the “nominees” they are putting forward.

Hi Dusty,

All I’m saying about Sonny is that he’s an empty suit. He doesn’t govern. I can’t even tell whether he’s a conservative or is, like Jim, a conservative who’s trying to keep his conservatism despite his profoundly liberal training.

The State Constitution requires Mr. Perdue to perform the duties he assumed under oath. The People may recall him for either wrongdoing or nonfeasance. I absolutely am not accusing Sonny Perdue of wrongdoing, but I have been accusing him, since last Summer, of nonfeasance—-the failure to perform his duties. His handling of the drought, for example, is a story of nonfeasance. I’m relatively certain it’s not the only one.

I personally can judge his politics best on that ground which I know best: education. He has imported an input-output model of Oregonian provenance which model I analyzed, on behalf of the Getty Trust, for the State of California. It is counterproductive in the extreme. Even Jim has disowned it, though initially he cheered it. It is, among other things, the essence of liberalism. And I have no doubt that Sonny Perdue has any idea that it is. He just accepts liberal thinking without recognizing it as such. I, and others, call that “schooled up”.

As to my own political creed, I’m an exceedingly unoriginal, very orthodox conservative. Mine is radical conservatism in the sense of “roots conservatism”. (Radical means “rooted”, or of the root.) It predates Goldwater (a late friend of the family) and even Strauss by some 750 years.

I’d like you to know that in CA I was the first Democratic consultant (I worked, as a conservative, for Dems for years; and also for GOP; and largely as a liaison between the two, both in Sac. & DC) to cross the line and join the half-dozen GOP conservatives in their ridiculed effort to oust the perfectly liberal Governor Gray Davis, a man I’d come, through some shocking familiarity, to despise—-especially for his exploitation of “education” as nothing more than a political tool and a bank. When it became clear that we had succeeded in forcing a recall election and that we were going to be successful, I worked for the election of Tom McClintock, the man who would have been Governor had the “California conservative” not run. If you can find an elected official anywhere in America whose conservatism is more to your liking than McClintock’s is, please point her or him out to me.

As to the tax cuts, hell yes I like tax cuts. I’ve seen so many billions of dollars over the years go to making the quality of American life worse, in the name of making it better, that I want to see a festival of tax-cutting. But Speaker Richardson, and evidently Governor Perdue as well (it’s hard to tell with a corpse), cannot think of how to cut taxes here without backfilling the revenue loss over there, so that they can continue the hideous spending they can’t even see as hideous.

Meanwhile, Jim’s all over the map, Dusty. Don’t you think it’s the task of the faithful reader to referee his “Common Sense Conservatism”? Because he thinks it’s our task. If you continue to cowpunch with those who ride herd on Jim’s “common sense”, I’ll continue to cowpunch with those who ride herd on his “conservatism”. Deal?

It’s a liberal country, Dusty. That’s got to change, or some even worse things will happen very soon.

Dusty: Only 6 demokrats voted in favor of the one year ban on earmarks, which would have reduced spending by some 18 billion dollars. Out of those 6, 4 of them voted with sincerity. The other two based their votes on pure political expediency, so that John McCain could not use it as an issue against them, them being Barak Obambi and Ku Klux Rodham.

Think about that for a second. They are so power hungry that they cannot even vote for their true position in the matter, how does this differ from outright lying? Klinton is responsible for 2.2 billion in earmarks, now she is “against” them?

The rumor mills you patronize don’t care whether their stuff has any substance, and you know that very well because you can see that they never correct, retract or apologize. They’re not journalism. They’re Soros fronts, compliments of McCain-Feingold.

It’s not perfect because a niggling $10 tax to create a state trauma network would be applied to personal and commercial vehicles. With some low-value vehicles, a $10 tax will exceed existing property taxes. The real concern, however, is that it’s not a clean break. It plants a tax that’s certain to grow. Future tax-and-spenders won’t have to clear that hurdle of public opposition to a new tax.

Well pooh Jim. Why didn’t you say that with your first column on this amendment?

Glenn,

My question to you was about the “death” of Guv Perdue you mentioned earlier. I gather that was a metaphor or something and you never meant actual “death”..empty suit or something. Oh well. (Is that Calisemantics you speak?)

Glenn, I don’t care if you ran the whole state of California. Your thoughts center around education and that seems to be your measure of success. It IS vitally importatnt. But so are some other things. Don’t forget about them.

Our governor is no movie star but what he says is usually said with honesty. Liberals don’t like him which shows he is doing something right. Seems to me, Georgia is progressing in many ways. Ok.. Not education. But you don’t seem to notice the good parts. I wonder why you left California for Georgia when you don’t think much of our state.

Dusty, did you fall and hit your head recently? What in hell are you on about? At 11:11 you asked me to explain to you “in what way” I am a “CONSERVATIVE”. In spite of our recent differences, I took that as an earnest question, and I answered it as directly and frankly as I could. To my answer you respond by saying that you hadn’t asked that question.

Criticizing the Governor’s and Speaker’s anti-conservative proposals is really something you take as having a low regard for Georgia, as holding Georgia in low esteem, as not “thinking much” of Georgia? When have I ever said any but appreciative things of this great state? What??

And someone’s calling himself a “conservative” is really someone you take for a conservative? Really and truly? You go with the nominal definition of a conservative, and that’s that? And with the nominal definition of a Republican also (Linc Chaffee calls himself one, therefore he is one)?

Do you have a sense of how you’ve given away the game—-how you’ve lost your personal power in American public affairs—-by surrendering this kind of definitional control to others, who are professional politicians?

Had I run the State of California, or any part of it, I’d be quite ashamed today. I thought I’d made that awfully clear to you just a couple days ago, in the playful side-by-side with Mississippi. So where does your xenophobic BS come from, Dusty, Old Time Religion?

My obvious point was to show you how very presumptuous and exactly wrong you are to accuse me, of all people, of being a pseudo-conservative. Especially you of all people, because you show again and again—-and again today—-that you have given up on trying to discern who is conservative or which policies or actions are conservative. That is something you leave to politicians to tell you.

“Education” is not, by one heck of a long stretch, my measure of anything. “Education” does, however, account for most of the budget of the State of Georgia, not least because it is the greatest power reserved to Georgia under the U.S. Constitution. Do you follow? So when I say that a Georgia Governor is of dubious conservative intention because his big play on his biggest playing field is quintessentially liberal, do you think I’m quarreling with the man’s taste in barbeque?

I prefaced my remarks on Mr. Perdue’s education reform initiative by explaining, truthfully, that it was the best way for me to construe his political doctrine because it is the policy area I happen to know best. Is it not a nice coincidence that education also happens to be the pricipal business of the State of Georgia?

And what of this scolding from you: “education…IS vitally importatnt…But so are some other things. Don’t forget about them”? What might those other policy areas be which I have been in danger of forgetting, O all-seeing One? Pray tell.

If you stop ranting and raving long enough, you might be able to give a simple answer, not write a book.

I believe that most of your complaints come because you disagree with conservative decisions (Guv, Jim,Bush, etc.). Therefore I question whether you should call yourself conservative.

I find myself a conservative because I like more conservative policies than those of liberals. Many more.

Sorry Glenn. There is no money left to give back. We invested all of our funds in the Pray For Rain StormCenter.

In fact we were all gathered in the Pray For Rain StormCenter during last nights storms that hit downtown Atlanta. We were cheering loudly, praising Jesus as we watched the storm approach the evil downtown area. Many of us Evangelicals had also been praying for the destruction of Godless Atlanta along with our Pray For Rain campaign, and believed our prayers had been answered. It was a time of great joy.

This afternoon or joy turned to sadness. We once again took our places in the Pray For Rain StormCenter as another storm approached. But tragically things took a turn for the worse. Sadly the storms meant for Atlanta headed to the north. Terrible death and damage that were meant for the gays and heathens ended up devastating parts of north Georgia.

Thats when we decided we had to call for a Pray For Rain moratorium. We will re-group and make sure our future prayers center on tornado’s and the destruction of Atlanta. We must make certain that our prayers also include a call for gentle rain and colorful rainbows for the rest of Georgia.

Believe me. We will re-group and be stronger. Your money has been well spent. Please keep donating. We need the money for a new StormCenter yacht where we can monitor the rain safely. Donations can be made at www.ProfitCenter.com. Make checks payable to Christian Angels Storming for Heaven. Or C.A.S.H. for short.

Further evidence that the corporate elites are disregarding this country was reported today. Bill Gates of Microsoft Corp said he was pleased some House member introduced a bill to virtually eliminate the H1-B visa provisions for high tech workers. To paraphrase Mr. Gates, “…there are not enough qualified and available workers in this country. The number of graduate students coming to the greatest colleges and Universities in the world for graduate studies should be able to work in this industry.” This is a man that has used the “dumb” American worker to build a billion-dollar empire. There are many, many unemployed software professionals who refuse to work for the $12 dollar per hour being paid to many of those workers from India. The American worker refuses to deal with the management of those workers who are expected to make impossible deadlines and not complain or question their treatment.

A new study upends the prevailing belief that women in the Middle East are oppressed because of their societies’ adherence to hard-line Islamic teachings. Far more significant in predicting how women will fare in a given country is that nation’s oil wealth. Political science professor Michael Ross argues in a new paper that oil booms put more men than women into the workforce and decrease women’s political representation.

Ok. I get it. When the globe stops using oil, Saudi Arabians and Iranians will return to being carpenters like Muhammad (Peace Be Amongst Him) and stop stoning women to death for being out in public with a man they are not married to or related to. They’ll also stop pre-arranged marriages too I’m so sure.

Both [RAT] candidates portray America as a nation where the fruits of economic progress have been usurped by corporate CEOs, equity-fund managers, inside traders and international speculators. Main Street has floundered, while Wall Street has flourished. The annual release of census data on household incomes provides the foundation for the “two Americas” thesis. The latest figures tracked changes in incomes all the way back to 1967. Two observations grabbed the headlines. First, the data indicate that the top-earning 20% of households get half of all the income generated in the country, while the lowest-earning 20% of households get a meager 3.4%. That disparity has widened over time: In 1970, their respective shares were 43.3% and 4.1%. These income-share numbers buttress the popular notion that the “rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.”

What? You don’t expect a bunch of neo-Stalinist fascist Nazis to tell you the truth, nothing but the truth, and ONLY the truth now, do you?

American public support for the military effort in Iraq has reached a high point unseen since the summer of 2006, a development that promises to reshape the political landscape. According to late February polling conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 53 percent of Americans — a slim majority — now believe “the U.S. will ultimately succeed in achieving its goals” in Iraq. That figure is up from 42 percent in September 2007.

Now, my wit and humor is not the focal point of this conversation, your thank you. You say that our public education system is not providing those of us that have used it to educate ourselves and our families is severely lacking. That statement begs the question, where were YOU educated? You highlighted what I pharphrased about Bill Gates without understanding that Bill Gates made those statements to bolster his argument about the “ignorant” American worker. I would assume that you are an American that works and has an education from public/private sources. If your educational prowess is diminished, it does not show in your posting. Therefore, I would conclude, you are trying to make a statement with your diatribes that is not supported by the factual presentation of the arguments made. Secondly, why are you introducing the teaching of sex education when the subject was not broached?

This one, not unpredictably, incessantly whines about the evils of liberalism but for the life of him cannot begin to explain why the “conservatives” got so decimated in the last election. Nor why they are on the ropes again and looking straight into the eye of another electoral bloodbath. Or for that matter, even define what a conservative is.

Bushco may have already ensured that his “conservatives” are going to be in the minority for a LONG time. Again. (Can you say forty years in the political wilderness? Again?)

Speaking of useless, from two of the US Senators who many Americans usually associate with that term:

A bill making its way through Congress brings a rare chance for both sides of the abortion debate to come together in a humane way.

The bill, backed by Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., would create a national registry for families willing to adopt babies born with Down syndrome, spina bifida, cystic fibrosis or dwarfism. It would cost about $5 million.

Five former soldiers that the AJC chose to help them look back on the 5 year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, look at the message the POS Urinal blared in the bylines under each of their names:

{{{{JEREMY ENGLAND: ‘I just want the soldiers to come home.’ ROGER GRUNEISEN: ‘I want it to end.’ JOSE MERCADO: ‘Everybody comes back different.’ BRETT WATERHOUSE: ‘It was like the war was over.’ JABARI WILLIAMS: ‘The guys knew how to kill.’}}}}

Sounds horrible, don’t it?

Now compare that to the message from each soldier that the POS Urinal buried in the story and isn’t taken out of context:

JEREMY ENGLAND: “I was very proud of what I had been through there. We had gone and we had fought the war and we had done it well and we had survived,” he said.

ROGER GRUNEISEN: “I just hope that we can leave there with some stability knowing that some of those guys died and it actually meant something.

JOSE MERCADO: “It was worthwhile. We did the right thing,” he said.

BRETT WATERHOUSE: Neighborhood residents often came to greet the soldiers with gifts of food, sweet tea and flowers, he recalled…. But now, he said, the war “seems to be going in the right direction.”

JABARI WILLIAMS: It was also a pep talk: “This is all what we trained for. We’re ready now. This is for real,” he told his fellow soldiers.

Isn’t it sick the way these leftist surrender monkies at the Atlanta Urinal will take the words of our brave, honorable soldiers and twist them around to suit their gutless wonder anti American agenda?

Now we all know what Angela Tuck means when she says the Urinal editors “checking the accuracy” of their “news” stories.

Another lie.

~~~~~

Ahhh, the Pinkos look back fondly on one of their happiest times in the Vietnam War:

{{{{ On the 40th anniversary of the massacre of up to 500 unarmed Vietnamese villagers, the former helicopter gunner was reunited with a young man he rescued from rampaging U.S. soldiers.-Urinal}}}}

Notice how the POS Urinal never talks of the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans that have given their lives for the freedoms of France, Korea, Philippines and all the others, but instead dwells on the actions of just a few obvious degenerates?

A puny minority of degenerates out of millions upon millions of honorable men?

These pinkos hate the United States and the good that it represents in the world, make no mistake about it, all you have to do is count the millions of negative stories about our troops that these wormy mofos print compared to the one or two positive ones you see every couple of years.

It is a sickness beyond reasoning, taking advantage of the freedoms given to you by the ultimate sacrifice and bravery, so that you can impugn those that gave their lives for you.

Sick in the head or treasonous, AJC, which is it?

~~~~~

Look at what the Urinal “business” section is calling an indicator of a bad economy:

{{{{MORTGAGE RATES Most recent national average: 6.37% Year earlier: 6.03 percent Danger zone: If it stays over 6%. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE Most recent: 5.2 percent Year earlier: 4.5 percent Danger zone: 6 percent-Urinal}}}}

Klinton administration averages: Mortgage rates- 8% Unemployment rate average- 6%

Anybody else remember how these Klinton economic numbers were called “rosy” and “strong” by these same pinkos?

{{{{News organizations gave Bush consistently negative press about perceived poor job creation and unemployment in the summer of 2004 but their reports were overwhelmingly positive when Clinton ran for reelection in the summer of 1996 under similar economic circumstances. Stories about jobs under Clinton were positive 85 percent of the time, more than six times as often as they were for Bush, despite similar economic data.}}}}

~~~~~

The Urinal’s pathological obsession with “Sunshine Laws” apparently only extends to Republicans:

{{{{Barack Obama has seized the transparency issue, portraying Ku Klux Rodham as “one of the most secretive politicians in America today” for failing to release her tax returns and hasten the release of her White House records.-Urinal}}}}

This little gem buried in a story full of misleading mumbo jumbo, that, instead of answering the real question, goes floating off into nonsense.

{{{{Klinton said she has urged the release of records as soon as possible from the National Archives and Records Administration. “It’s a cumbersome process set up by law,” Klinton said.}}}}

Well, of course, I mean a former president and a “powerful” sitting senator just totally stymied by a law, for the very first time in their lives, I might add.

Conversely, if we were to cut spending, what will we have done? Would we be creating an opportunity to not increase taxes?

My Lai Massacre? There’ve been hundreds of mini-My Lai’s all over Iraq in the last five years. Iraq is Vietnam in the military sense of simply not being able to distinquish friend from foe. My Lai is the story of most wars. Troops in conservative war mode are sitting ducks for guerilla ambush, thus revenge-tactics are the only counter-offensive available. Our own Revolutionary War saw the British committing My Lai after My Lai (my word!) simply because many of their casualties came from the very-successful ambush-and-run tactics of our founding guerillas. Not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m saying it just is. War is My Lai. For good or bad.

“HOW WE CAME TO BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY”

For fifty years this country has been divided on race. The physical is obvious but the political has been obscured within the democrat party.

How can they [the democrat party] now conveniently claim that it should not be an issue?

Senator Obama claims it should not, but now we discover that Senator Obama has, for twenty years, attended a church whose minister incites his congregation with a message of divide and conquer.

Again, for fifty years the democrat party has carried the dead albatross around its neck, and by his association, not only with his minister, but with the democrat party as well, Senator Obama will be pulled down by the sheer weight of the dead albatross.

PoFO, are you ever going to stop being such a paranoid delusional little left wing freak? Please don’t.

Anyway, from the New Yawk Slimes:

Democrats in Michigan and Florida struggled Friday to resolve the impasse over their disputed January primaries, coming up with a plan to hold a June primary in Michigan while remaining deadlocked in Florida. Reflecting how tense the situation has become, influential fund-raisers for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have stepped up their behind-the-scenes pressure on national party leaders to resolve the matter, with some even threatening to withhold their donations to the Democratic National Committee unless it seats the delegates from the two states or holds new primaries there.

You just know those asshats wanted to blame the Florida delegation mess on Republicans. Oh wait, the limpwrists on the left already tried. Check out this trash:

Of course, Florida and Michigan Democrats do not see that they are to blame for taking away their voters’ voice in the nominating process.

Dear One @ 9:15, you raise a couple of good points. (1) “If we eliminate the Bush tax cuts, i.e., impose the world’s largest tax increase, what will we have done? Stopped going farther into debt?” No. Your note reflects that you realize that excessive expenditures are the reason for greater debt, and tax revenues have no effect at all. “Conversely, if we were to cut spending, what will we have done? Would we be creating an opportunity to not increase taxes?” You clearly get it; I wish our leftist friends did. Our leftist friends assume that the economy continues to hum along no matter how much taxes are increased. They do not realize that companies do not pull money out of air. To pay new, larger bills, companies must cut back somewhere. Labor, for most companies, is the largest variable expense. If one has new large bills to pay, where is the most logical place to cut other expenses? And if you know the new expenses are coming, might it make sense to minimize the “unemployment” related expenses by simply not embracing the expense in the first place?

(2) Your last, amusingly-weaving diatribe inquiry also reflects my thoughts - these foolish “tax rebates” will serve no purpose other than to buy votes. The economic effect will be comically small (who will take their $600 rebate and invest that capital in a company?) Far from doing anything that will meaningfully augment the economy, the money will be a waste, and the idea comes from 1970ish Keynesian thought. On the other hand, renewal of the Bush tax cuts would provide an immediate long-term stimulation to the economy - employers would be free to expand employment.

And how his disciples, Christian or not, ape his every slur and enmity filled diatribe.

Isn’t it sick the way these leftist surrender monkies at the Atlanta Urinal will take the words of our brave, honorable soldiers and twist them around to suit their gutless wonder anti American agenda?

That is bound to really p!ss of the blood lusting, armchair warriors in the Republican Party who soldier on (well at least metaphorically!) in this ill-conceived, horribly executed occupation in that geo-politically critical, coincidentally (HA!) oil-rich, once-sovereign nation.

And though I know you Southern Baptist, man-induced global warming proponents loathe the papists, you gotta love this sinner anyway!

*VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI issued one of his strongest appeals for peace in Iraq on Sunday, days after the body of the kidnapped Chaldean Catholic archbishop was found near the northern city of Mosul.

The pope also denounced the 5-year-long Iraq war, saying it had provoked the complete breakup of Iraqi civilian life.

“Enough with the slaughters. Enough with the violence. Enough with the hatred in Iraq!” Benedict said to applause at the end of his Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.

So enjoy your little Christian love-fest here, Curly and friends.

And so it went, a meditation on a fallen world.

The reverend spoke of the hardship that the congregation would face tomorrow, the pain of those far from the mountaintop, worrying about paying the light bill…

Obama’s only trying to distance himself from Wright now because Wright has become politically inconvenient. Not because Obama actually dislikes anything Wright has to say.

He appears to be using a winning strategy - pretending that the far right wing nut jobs/GOP base/”faithful” are relevant. He knows after the past two elections though, that they are as gullible as a four year old at a carnival with cotton candy on the line.

But he knows given the nation’s current temperament and utter disbelief in the “conservatives” these days, they are on the brink of being, once again, back where they belong - on the political outside looking in.

The only real question may be, for how long?

But I believe he is smart enough to know that if he selects one of these non-conservative conservatives as a running mate, the American electorate is going to drop him quicker than a rat can shimmy up a drain pipe.

“If we eliminate the Bush tax cuts, i.e., impose the world’s largest tax increase, what will we have done?

So the Bush administration provided the world’s largest tax cut—at a time when we had a surplus of half a billion dollars—and we were led to believe that increases in revenue would make up for the tax cut. By Bushbot logic, an increase of $160,000 for every $1.6 billion lost in federal revenue would balance the scales.

{{{{It’s unclear exactly when the primaries stopped being a joyous occasion for the Democrats. But as the weeks have ground on, the intensity between Democrats who disagree has calcified, the vitriol grown fiercer. According to exit polling in the Texas primary, 91 percent of Clinton supporters said they would be dissatisfied with Obama as the nominee; 87 percent of Obama fans said they would be dissatisfied with Clinton. Nationally, a quarter of those who back Clinton say they’d vote for John McCain if Obama won the nomination (while just 10 percent of Obama supporters would do the same if he lost).}}}}

This is as-s backwards to what you would think because if Klintoon wins the nomination it means that she stole it from the legitimate choice of the voters.

But the Obambi cultists would only go for McCain by 10%?

Compared to the Ku Klux Rodham voters at 25%, oh, wait a minute, the klanners can’t vote for the black man, I forgot about that.

@Rufus,

I see that you have chosen to return to give all of us a taste of your profane wisdom.

You stated yesterday that you were concerned about my level of education in the public schools.

I notice that you are able to read and write, with the assumption that you were raised in the USA. The assumptions lead me to believe that either you were educated in the public schools; private schools; home schooled; self-educated.

If memory serves me, you impugned the quality of my education and you tried to add credence to the fact that all of us that were educated in the public system were fascists or neo-Nazis. Further, you stated that the public schools used sexual toys, i.e., condoms on bananas, to teach children, the standard refrain used by those with the mindset that benefits your comfort level. You further stated that the Microsoft operating system was not very good, leading me to believe that you had to obtain education at some time.

Now, with all that said, if the level of education is so bad, why not submit yourself for a lobotomy, erasing all those things that you have learned. You can have the medical personnel give you an osmosis process, wherein everything that needs to be learned will flow across the synaptic gaps of your brain cells and your education would be complete and without the liberal pollution that you abhor.

To conclude my dissertation, I have come to the conclusion that your education is more than adequate and you are not comfortable with the things that you see happening. You have a myopic view of events and believe that you are the only one that has the ability to read, write and comprehend.

Given this items I have stated, why not repudiate your education, quit your job and tell everyone they are stupid. You have the opportunity to start your own software business where you can write your own operating system and put Microsoft out of business.

I am sure that you will have a reply to my posting.

Isn’t that special? I’m for low taxes, a strong military, government meddling NOT in my financial matters (uhm, that means no estate and capital gains taxes for you liberal freaks in Virginia Highlands). Liberalism is a low-rent ideology.

“BTW, methinks thou dost protest too much about your supposed education.”

Two things here. First, how can I “protest” about my education and what in the world kind of purpose would that serve? Only a liberal would come up with such nonsense. Second, I never mentioned about my level of education or where I obtained said education. If it makes you feel any better liberal child, I’ll just go spit it out for you and save you a drooling insult, oh wise lib one: I got it out of a Cracker Jack box.

“Then, “conservatives” be prepared to say, “Good morning, President Obama!””

Your veiled attempt at labeling conservatives and NOT real conservatives while touting the wonders of Obama are laughable. No, methinks in your liberal world you are right and everyone else is wrong.

Now it’s your turn, Jacked Up Jackie:

(Do you liberals EVER get out of the house?

“You stated yesterday that you were concerned about my level of education in the public schools.”

If you go back and look at that post, I remember making fun of your pathetic attempt at humor. YOU were the one that brought up education, lib.

Here, I’ll rehash it for you:

Oh Jacked up Jackie, you are so smart. Where on Earth do you get your wit? Your charm? Your halo? God I wish I could “think” as you.

Do you see anything there^^ about an educational slam? You know, one of the many problems and character flaws of you liberals is that you read into things that are not there. Further, you people just LOVE to dish it out, but cannot take it in return. When that happens, as AmWay the sales weasel stated in his/her keyboard vomit this morning, it’s all about “hate.”

“If memory serves me, you impugned the quality of my education and you tried to add credence to the fact that all of us that were educated in the public system were fascists or neo-Nazis.”

Jacked up, you definitely have issues. My reference to Nazis was at 5:01pm yesterday with confiscating things that do NOT belong to them for the “greater cause” you liberals love so much. Go read it again. Second, go back and re-read my 5:40pm. I said government education is failing America, as Bill Gates indirectly stated. Now you tell me you liberal idiot, WHERE do I talk about YOUR education?

“You further stated that the Microsoft operating system was not very good,”

Sigh. Liberals and their emotions get in the way of clear thinking every time.. I said Microsoft SUCKS. Does that mean their OS sucks? Their bullying tactics and their Gestapo tactics of authorizing software are why a lot of people have turned to open source code such as Linux. By the way, I will say this about their latest OS though: Vista is going to be the shortest lived OS to come out of Redmond. A replacement, currently called Windows 7, is slated for 2010. Further, when Dell continues to offer XP on their laptops and desktops, MS has failed miserably. Oh, and I won’t even bring up the success of Mozilla.

“Now, with all that said, if the level of education is so bad, why not submit yourself for a lobotomy, erasing all those things that you have learned.”

Now you are drooling, Jacked Up. I am referencing the CURRENT education system AGAIN, as Bill Gates referenced in YOUR original post. Besides, why the hell would I want to reformat my brain and become a mindless liberal like you?

“To conclude my dissertation”

You mean DIATRIBE, don’t you? Thank GOD…

“you are not comfortable with the things that you see happening.”

Au contraire, Jacked Up, I am PERFECTLY happy with my life. I cannot control things happening AROUND me other than voting and I accept that. You liberals on the other hand are hell bent on “changing” people to think like you. It is so evident in all of your ilk’s postings here and elsewhere.

“You have a myopic view of events”

That’s laughable coming from a liberal who HATES the idea that someone is out there that doesn’t agree with THEM. Just look at you pathetic liberals on this blog. You are CONSTANTLY calling for Jim’s retirement and that this blog is worthless. Then you idiots sit here and fester day in and day out about how Conservatives are horrible and against “real” America. You liberals RATs have the level of hypocrisy that Republicans and Conservatives could never touch.

“You have the opportunity to start your own software business where you can write your own operating system and put Microsoft out of business.”

That’s a joke, right? Why would I want to start my own business when it will just get taxed to hell and back and FORCED into hiring union employees? That’s what you disgusting libs want for businesses in this nation.

“I am sure that you will have a reply to my posting.”

Does he mean gutting the reserves and the ANG by sending them overseas to fill slots.

Does he mean implementing edicts like stop loss orders and forced extensions in country.

He “favors” a strong military where his bony, punk a* never has to participate.

He, in fact, shows derision for veterans with terms like Amway.

Let’s face it, gutless boys like him don’t give a flying fu

He only loves George Bush’s politics and chosen war and hates anybody who doesn’t.

He in fact, is not even worthy of wearing the uniform, and for him to even attempt to speak of things she knows not a single solitary thing about, like sacrifice before self and code of honor is repulsive.

Hi TW. Yeah, you did, we did, read of the report, but I didn’t take it at all the way you (and, as I recall, CNN) reported it. That’s why I was asking who reported it that way, the way you had it.

You had it that “The Pentagon said this week that there was ” Whereas when I heard it on the news and looked into it online, there was this big disconnect. The Pentagon didn’t say it; someone else said it to the Pentagon, and the Pentagon released what they said. Was that release a release of “a Pentagon report”? No. First of all, strictly speaking it was not a “report” but rather an outside analysis (of seized al-Qaeda docs) that is to be reported (which simply means delivered) to the Pentagon, which has decided to “report” the analysis, in turn, to Congress this week. The analysis was not generated by DoD, but rather by a private contractor. The analysis expressly does not represent the Pentagon’s views, much less does it constitute “a Pentagon report”. Moreover, the analysis itself has not been released by DoD; only portions of the redacted, classified analysis have been released. The analysis, according to its authors, is intended to stimulate discussion.

Does the analysis find “no connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda prior to 9/11”? The portions of the analysis released to the press make no such finding. The corporation that made the analysis does say, in the released portions, that the captured docs submitted to them by DoD do not establish a “direct operational link” between the Hussein regime and al-Qaeda pre-9/11. Direct link to al-Qaeda operations.

I see nothing here that contradicts President Bush on the relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda before, and then after, 9/11. What this story does contradict: the facts of the provenance, development and contents of the “report”; the carefully massaged urban legend that W claimed that half the reason we should invade Iraq was that Iraq, with al-Q, was behind 9/11.

COLORADO SPRINGS — Applications for concealed-weapon permits have skyrocketed in Colorado, with the increase fueled by everything from heavily publicized mass shootings to routine renewals, according to the state’s sheriffs.

In 2007, 9,880 people statewide sought permits, compared with 6,649 people in 2006 and 6,670 people in 2005, according to the County Sheriffs of Colorado. And the surge has continued into 2008 in several counties. Law-enforcement experts have different ideas on why more people want to carry concealed weapons. Some believe it is due to a rash of violent outbreaks at Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University and a mall in Utah.

No. No. No. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. You idiots in Colorado are supposed to not own any guns and just dial 911 when some piece of human trash is committing a crime against you. The cops will be there for you - eventually - if you can get through the government run 911 system.

Sales in Canada’s major markets fell 6.4 percent in February from January, to 26,588 units, according to CREA, an industry trade organization representing over 90,000 realtors.

Leave it to the Canadians to not blame their housing slump on global warming. Or Bush. Wait a minute. Did that even make any sense? Oh good grief. I’m sounding off like a liberal.

Rufus, it is actually quite tragic, and misunderstood. Although CCCP is often misdiagnosed as Quality Control Compulsive Disorder (QCCD), it is in fact far more aggressive and resistant to treatment. Whereas those with QCCD have a pronounced need to locate and control quality in whomever they may find it, patients with Compulsive Civil Control Psychosis are impelled to control whole populations, as well as disaggregated demographic cohorts. And while both pathologies are marked by compulsive disorder, it is CCCP which manifests the complete symptom complex classically associated with psychotic mania: the disordered thought processes and clouded judgment, the hyperactivity and impulsive spending, the grandiosity and overreaction grossly disproportionate to exogenous events, the exaggerated sense of persecution or victimization.

But the hallmark of CCCP is of course the patient’s inexhaustible and excessive involvement in endeavors aimed at managing the lives, lifestyles and worldview of others. Those afflicted with Compulsive Civil Control Psychosis are almost always unaware that there is anything wrong with their behavior or attitude toward society. On the contrary, they are most often impatient, intrusive, meddlesome and, when interfered with, threateningly irritable. Whether they imagine themselves “independent” or “moderate”, in reality they brook no interference with their felt need to indulge liberally in overweening and debilitating human husbandry.

“The AJC Management wishes to explain to {{{{{Rufus}}}}} that he is boring.”

[Breaking out my liberal decoder ring]

That means that “I don’t have the mental capacity or knowledge armament to refute, debate, or discredit what ‘Rufus’ says on this blog.”

Again, I told you liberalism was a mental disease. Sucks to be them I suppose.

Not that I give a RAT’s a* about liberals and liberalism.

{{{{{Rufus}}}}} never ceases to bore. He is becoming progressively more of a bore. In fact, he is far from a conservative at boredom. He is truly most liberal with his boredom. The AJC Management wishes to remind {{{{{Rufus}}}}} that he should not apply such liberal doses of boredom. The AJC Management wishes for {{{{{Rufus}}}}} to think about what is right. Don’t be a bore and we won’t snore.

{{{{Iraq will hold a two-day conference of all political groups starting on Tuesday to promote national unity and help defuse sectarian tensions, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Saturday.}}}}

{{{{The conference, which begins just two days before the fifth anniversary of the US-led invasion, will be organised by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to achieve “security, reconstruction and complete sovereignty,” Dabbagh said.}}}}

{{{{“Different political leaders will be present and the conference will aim to activate the role of different groups in the political process for positive contribution and national reconciliation,” he said in a statement.}}}}

Just by speaking those words, the Iraqis have accomplished more this year than the whole entire demokrat party has.

Bwa.

After all, the Code Pinkos are working on their national disunity.

I’ve read at numerous sites that within the body of the text Zawahiri was, in fact, mentioned. This is an abstract from “The Trumpet”.

After reviewing 600,000 Iraqi documents seized since the beginning of the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, the Pentagon released a report last week saying it had “uncovered strong evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism.” An abstract in the appendices of the report describes the connection between Saddam and the al Qaeda network this way:

Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist, and Islamic terrorist organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist–operatives monitored closely.

Anyone here is welcome to verify if they want.

Old news as far as I’m concerned.

Huh. I guess Jackie didn’t like my response. Oh well. There’s always next week where we’ll all see the heroes of the left like Jacked Up Jackie and AmWay the sales weasel “own” the blog again with their hate screed against Conservatives and Republicans. Yep.

Three simple rules for newbie bloggers:

1) If you post as a Conservative, you are full of “hate” here.

2) When liberals bash Conservatives here, it’s okay. You are supposed to sit back and take it and not retaliate.

3) Should you get too uppity and continue to fight the disease of liberalism, you will get personally singled out and bullied by the resident liberals that can’t seem to stay away from a Conservative blog.

Any questions?

I have some questions. What’s a “Rufus”? Is that someone’s pet? Or someone’s pet’s toy? Or someone’s pet’s toy’s stuffing? Is the pet house broken? Did it hike its leg on its toy or squat on it?

Rufus = Bored. The same moron posting 2 himself 24/7 is Andy Duhng. Yes, he’s quite mad, you know. I have to apologize to the AJC readership because it was I who creamed him so bad years ago when he was even more obnoxious. He became unhinged with just one post, (and I was kidding), that turned him into the wonder of modern science you dont read today. So sorry, I was just doing a bit, and he fell for it. Remember when I teased him about using italics? and he stopped using them? See what I mean? Cant take a joke. Sometimes, though, I really wonder if andy isn’t wooten. Wooten writes very constrained, almost handcuffed, and it would make sense that he would have an alter-ego that was so over the top, you know, like Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Heckle.

Maybe. Probably not. Look, I got my post-doctorate in pre-med, and I’m not one for being ignoble, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the problems of two little morons dont amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

Here’s kookoo kachu, kid.
