What a bunch of goons the liberals at the AJC really are:

{{{{Supporters cheer China at Olympic torch stop- Runners flanked by rows of security carried the Olympic torch past thousands of jubilant Argentines on Friday as China supporters in red windbreakers waved flags- Urinal}}}}

He we are, led to believe by the Urinal fairy tale that the Argentinians came out in a show of support for the Chinese but, as the picture the Urinal attached to the story shows, there are nothing but military aged Chinese men to be found.

How truly sickening.

This is the world that Code Pinko lives in, if they don’t like hearing from dissenters, then they censor them, round them up and isolate them, and write POS liberal stories proclaiming their side of the issue as though it were true.

Think man made “global warming” as another good example of this.

But most of all, are they not giving aid and comfort to a brutal, oppressive, murderous Chinese regime?

Which side are these mofos from the Urinal on?

Gross.

~~~~~

The Urinal giving voice and lending legitimacy to those who cut throats, bomb women and children and who replace freedom with extremist religious rule:

{{{{Chief aide to Iraq rebels killed- Gunmen assassinated a top aide to anti-American leader Muqtada al-Sadr on Friday… But many of the 5,000 people who attended al-Nouri’s funeral later Friday in Najaf chanted “al-Maliki is the enemy of God” as they shouted slogans against al-Sadr’s Shiite political rivals.-Urinal}}}}

“Assassinated?”

Sick.

And look what facts the pinkos cannot hide anymore:

{{{{Al-Sadr blamed the Americans and their Iraqi allies for the killing but called for calm —- presumably to avoid a showdown at a time when his Mahdi Army militia is under pressure by Iraqi and U.S.-led forces in Baghdad and southern Iraq.-Urinal}}}}

Just like I was saying.

~~~~~

The Urinal story:

{{{{Raids kill 8, including 12-year-old- Israel struck hard into the Gaza Strip by land and air Friday, trading fire with gunmen in fighting that killed eight Palestinians, including a 12-year-old boy, Palestinians said.- Urinal}}}}

People that parade the same corpses through the street ten or fifteen times, until they can’t stand the stench, stage fake photos and purposefully place children at risk of harm among their fighters to gain sympathy against Israel from the elite kandy as-s kowards in the left wing American press.

So who does the Urinal source the information of this story of murder committed by the Palestinian terrorists?

The “Palestinians,” blaming it on Israel, of course.

Sick.

~~~~~

{{{{But it’s fair to say that many people who contact us about fairness issues have their own biases. How people process what they read often depends on their views.-Angeal Tuck, Urinal Ombudsman/ Flack/Bald Faced Liar}}}}

Yeah, and it affects how stories get written too:

{{{{Are Wright’s remarks news? Yes. But I believe they have been adequately covered. Is it fair to judge Wright —- a former United States Marine with a long history of helping others —- by a few of his more incendiary sound bites?-Urinal}}}}

Yeah, is it fair?

{{{{Cynthia Tucker: Bishop Long marches past real issues- Like many conservative Christians, he blames gays for the problems facing the institution, fearing that their desire to marry would somehow undermine heterosexual unions. On Dec. 11, Long — pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, a DeKalb County megachurch that claims 25,000 members — assembled thousands to march in support of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning same-sex unions. -Urinal}}}}

Gee, dumbas-ses, I seem to remember a “few incendiary sound bytes” from Long that sent the Urinal into a week long front page witch hunt and show trial.

{{{{In the news pages, a number of checks and balances are employed to foster balance. Line editors and copy editors question missing details, and reporters are expected to make sure all sides are represented. Photographers and design and copy editors determine story play, headlines and which photographs will be used with fairness in mind.-Urinal}}}}

Yeah, now go back to my very first item, with the Chinese Military “supporting” the Olympic torch relay.

Liars.

{{{{Since concerns about bias are so prevalent, Tom Grieshober of Powder Springs suggests that editors.. create an even playing field and let the readers decide.”-Urinal Stooge Tuck}}}}

“Even playing field” at the Urinal?

Ahahahahahahahahaha, git the F outta here.

~~~~~

These liberals have no clue, and because of it, from their pedestals they look upon the average American with disdain:

{{{{Obama said, “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not,” he went on. “And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”}}}}

Yeah, that’s why a whole as-sload of them voted for you, Dic-kweed, it must have been that “antipathy.”

Do we need to review Obambi’s spiritual advisor’s and life long pastor’s “antipathy to people who aren’t like him?”

I’m pretty sure, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that the “frustrations” of the average American lie with Illinois Senators are cannot perform the work they were elected to do and who believe that all of us should be Black Panthers, like them.

Sick.

~~~~~

Ahhh, yes, I sense a new name in the offing:

{{{{The government estimates up to 4.3 billion barrels of oil can be recovered from the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota and Montana, using current technology.}}}}

Let’s see, we’ll call it the “Bakken Wildlife Refuge” and then we can throw ourselves down in front of the oil trucks and shriek about the endangered, uh, earthworms, that’s it, the earthworms are in danger!

~~~~~

{{{{Airport plans faster lines-Urinal}}}}

“Faster lines” to what, you dimwits?

The Government Bureaucracy has all the planes parked in their hangers.

As a point of interest to you AJC MANAGEMENT….The Bakken Shale Formation is just that..An area where horizontal drilling can take place. It eliminates most of the carnage that normal drilling does. As an owner of 10 acres of prime mineral rights in this area (Williams County, North Dakota) I say let the drilling began! You’ll know me by the new Ferrari I’ll be driving.

Good morning, Jim.

The notion of Johnny Isakson seeking the office of governor is quite appealing. Lord knows we need one and I have felt for some time that Johnny’s talents are being wasted in the U.S. Senate.

In large measure, the national government is becoming more and more dysfunctional. After the collaspe of our national economy, the exhaustion of our conventional military forces, and the realization that the governmental bureaucracy has frozen like a Microsoft Internet Explorer screen on a bad day, the wave of the 21st century will be to find effective leadership and decision-making at the state and regional levels. For example, intelligent leaders could forge Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina into a dynamic economic region…if they really wanted to do so.

As for “Silly Sonny”, “Goofy Glenn”, and “Cackling Cagle”, the sooner we are rid of the lot, the better off we will be.

{{{{For months, the little tyrants of the global warming caucus – Barbara Boxer, Henry Waxman, Ed Markey – have been trying to force the EPA into declaring that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant under current clean air laws, which could result in a cap-and-trade program by regulatory decree. Such posturing allows Democrats to display crocodile outrage and take credit for “leadership” on a popular goal, while shifting the blame for the costs of achieving it onto the EPA. In the bargain, it insulates them from political consequences and avoids the grubby business of actually crafting some global warming “solution.”}}}}

“Solution” to a non problem, yep, that is our dimokrat led Congress.

{{{{This isn’t the first time that Mr. Dingell has had some fun with the politics of global warming and drawn the wrath of Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the green lobby. Last year he proposed a carbon tax to force his fellow Democrats to be more truthful about their environmental artifices. He may be one of Congress’s last honest liberals.}}}}

There are some things to really look forward to on the weekends. One, a wupass breakfast, and two, AJCM smacking the Atlanta Communist Manifesto into the corner with the rest of the RAT wh0red out media.

“Line editors and copy editors question missing details, and reporters are expected to make sure all sides are represented. Photographers and design and copy editors determine story play, headlines and which photographs will be used with fairness in mind.-Urinal}}}}”

That’s a joke, right AJCM? Surely the Atlanta Urinal Constipation didn’t really publish those words. They can’t be that delusional. Or can they? The disease of liberalism knows no bounds.

Well I’ll tell you what. I’m about fed up with my Saturdays getting rained out.

Reaganesque conservatives. Great stuff. Needed that laugh. Thanx. (btw: I looked it up. Reagen did a cameo in episode 39 of the Beaver TV show)

If you were serious, then the word is spelled lead, not led, referring those paint chips you would have most certainly devoured as a child.

Heather Mills admitted dousing Paul McCartney’s female lawyer with a glass of water during a divorce hearing. Yoko Ono immediately condemned the act, stating that, “..if one more witch is melted, I’ll be the only one left…”

Vanilla Ice, who is related to Obama, was released from jail after beating up his wife. The Atlanta Braves immediately offered Ice the soon-to-be vacated manager’s postion.

Cheney’s man sized safe is actually Al Capone’s Vault, and has nothing in it but a pile of sunglasses with naked girls on them. Turns out the Smithsonian didn’t want the vault, and Cheney’s office was the only place not being used.

Duhng is more like Lumpy in drag than eddie haskell……

Good morning, Jim.

I agree with your assessment of the top three — boot ‘em. The sooner, the better. However, I think you are going too easy on the rest. There are definitely others that need to go as well. I will be voting against all the state and local incumbents all the way down to county commissioner. I am tired of the arrogance, obfuscation, incompetence,…

As far as Isakson goes, he’s polite. He was called upon to help with a local issue and he listened real well. My dog is polite and he listens real well as long as I hold a treat slightly out of his reach. But, I digress.

Citizens need to find out what peeks the interests of politicians and then they need to hold that “thing” slightly out of the politicians’ reach — out of reach until the end of their term. If they were “good boys”, then give them their treat.

I hear you about rained out weekends. The drought ends on our dime. Not fair. Your liberal construct has no credibility except as it pertains to the rain. That is the liberal’s fault.

The moon was waning last night thanx to liberalism. Oh, boortz had a hilarious audio clip of Hillary laughing off a question about a trade deal she opposed being promoted by Bill. Hillary actually cackled for a good ten seconds and then dismissed the question with, “That’s like asking how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.”

There was a reality show about Paula Abdul, and Paula Abdul sez the most incongruous, motley and oblivious things to address the events that happen around her. She’s uses totally inappropriate words to narrate whatever the camera is filming. It’s scary. Hillary has a little bit of that.

OTTAWA — People here are divided between those longing for a few more inches of snow to set a record and others who think the 14 feet that has already landed, and mostly lingered, is more than enough. No one needs to ask Luc Guertin his view. His front yard on a suburban street here features his personal monument to eastern Canada’s unusually prolonged, relentless and snowy winter. A snow wall, about 18 ˝ feet high, 6 to 10 feet wide and 30 feet long, rises along one edge of the driveway. Standing next to a flagpole at the top, a balaclava-clad mannequin holds a snow shovel aloft in “Rocky”-style triumph. A sign, decorated with fuzzy chickens, offers outdated Easter greetings to the steady stream of sightseers who make their way to Toulouse Crescent.

Political Foreskin: NRA member. Anti-abortion. 4 tax cuts. 4 entitlement cuts. Strong defense.

As an NRA member, I give speeches about how most gun owners end up shooting themselves. or their relatives. by accident. That’s because a “gun” has never been defined. What is a gun, but a reusable bomb? A bomb is a gaseous expansion with/without shrapnel. The force of the gas expansion can kill too, DONT try holding a gun with blanks to your temple and pulling the trigger, the blast will blow a hole in your head. Happens all the time. (people clowning)

Guns are bombs. Bombs sometimes just go off 4 no reason. Safety is the key to gun ownership.

Self Defense fallacy: A gunman is supposed to defend himself with his gun against assault by robbers. A gunman must necessarily identify the robbers in time to weild his weapon first, before the robbers get the drop on him. That’s impossible. The gunman would have to read minds to know that the approaching stranger is a robber.

Statistics: Gunmen shoot innocents thinking they’re robbers.

Statistics. Unloaded guns kill more people than loaded guns. “i didn’t know the gun was loaded” is exhibit a.

What I’m saying is that the average gun owner has an IQ and a sophistication on a par with duhng and his posse of pootwits.

I encourage all gun owners to keep their guns real clean at all times. Gentlemen, clean your guns.

Though he strode to power as the shining knight of post-Reconstruction possibilities, sadly Pray for Rain has proven to be at the state level what the hero of Alabama has become at the federal - inept and ineffective.

And given the political mentality in Georgia, I know it shouldn’t, but it still amazes me how such an obvious little pr!ck like Casey Without a Bat Cagle got elected in the first place.

Vex, it is indeed ironics how this reeling Republican Party still dotes over Reagan, isn’t it?

But isn’t he a BIG reason as to why they’re in such irrefutably deep elephant duhng?

Ronnie’s misguided War on Drugs among numerous other BIG, expensive and unnecessarily intrusive government policies started the Republicans on this severe lurch to the right. Which has ultimately led to this ever deepening downward spiral that appears at last to be “augering in”.

Reagan had enormous potential and did some good things, no doubt, but ultimately he blew it because of his imprudent ideas about legislating morality, ramping up class warfare and the ridiculous notion that despising liberals was somehow the equivalent of being “conservative”.

Rather than actually implementing conservative policy.

So the decidedly non-conservative Reagan-Meese/Gingrich/Bush-Cheney-Rove legacy is sealed. A mixed bag to be sure, but it ain’t pretty.

I’d like to ask the “real” conservatives here, how many more Congressional seats is this GOP going to lose in this upcoming election?

Twenty? Thirty? More?

And how many governorships?

And the so-called RINO McCain can’t change that. And probably wouldn’t if he could.

He is one of a VERY small number of reasonable Republicans that doesn’t have to either defend his support for many/most of Bush’s botched “strategies” (other than the occupation) or desperately pretend he didn’t in the first place.

This is undoubtedly going to be one unendingly tough summer for the far right and the neo-cons.

Knock it off, duhng. You’re blogging like a retard.

Why dont you go clean your guhn, duhng? As an NRA member, and also I have to claim the title of the best shot in NRA history.

Once, I had two cop friends in detroit. Now these two were good fraternity brother friends who I knew way before they became cops. One was undercover cop. One was a prison guard. They both loved to shoot their .38 specials at the firing range. Well, one day they talked me into going, I guess to show off, cause they were sick of hearing me tease them, “You guys cant shoot, you never could shoot, they should take your guns away.” etc.

So, off I go, unarmed, to the range. Well, they only had one gun with them, I dont know why, but they both took turns and did pretty good, certainly if the target had been a man, he would have been shot clean….through…..thegizzard.

So, they asked if I wanted to shoot a clip at a new target, and I said no, can we leave? But they insisted I shoot their stupid pistol at the target, so, even though I had NEVER shot with a hand gun, and had just broken my glasses, I relented.

My first shot went wide and high. I saw them snicker. So, I deduced from the kickback and the sights how the gun should be held and then adjusted my stance and my glasses, which were broken so I had to balance them on my nose and hold my head up higher than was really comfortable to keep them from falling off.

I slowly fired five more shots. My two fraternity brothers were suddenly silent. Passers by stopped. They target was sent forward for inspection and I had shot five perfect bullseyes that hardly, hardly barely showed an enlarged bullet hole. They were stunned. Who is this guy? On the way home I tried to make excuses about how I could have accomplished the feat, but they were simply sick to their stomachs and wouldn’t let me talk. Disgusted, they dropped me off at the frat house and drove off. Our friendship was never the same.

I am the greatest shot that ever lived. Davey Crockett? Daniel boone? Annie Oakley? Dick Cheney? morons. Okay?

I once shot a woodchuck using a 1934 .22 with a broken sight, no scope, at about 75 yards and all I could see of the little critter was his ear. I deduced the rest of him and kablow, I shot him clean….through….thegizzard.

Nobody believes I can shoot. The two cops never mentioned that day again and if I tried to tease them about it, they’d shut me down quick.

Now I know that there’s an industry for target shooting competition, and I’ve seen the guys shoot the targets quickly with their specialized pieces and they practice all day long everyday, and so what? that’s not shootin, that’s exercise. Give them a police special, and they’ll miss. Shootin is shootin, rootin tootin shootin is real shootin, if’n you be given a hootin about shootin, you’d be tootin your own horn like me.

I know, it’s almost as barren as the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge is, save for the swarms of giant mosquitoes.

If I were you, I would prepare yourself for a bit of a letdown on the Ferrari, for once the liberals catch wind that there is some cheap oil to be had, they will conjure up the most horrific tales of environmental despoliation, animal endangerment and, of course, trampling on consumers with “windfall profits.”

All of it utter nonsense but aimed at a dimwit constituency that spends it time fretting over imagined problems and soothing their guilty consciences by taxing and regulating the rest of us to financial ruin.

Now if you could convince George Soros to invest in the Bakken shale, you just may get that Ferrari after all….

What needs to happen is a Republican voter revolt.

All Republicans should vote Democratic in 2010. Granted, the following two to four years will be ugly, but Republican leadership will be taught a lesson, and not stand pat and smugly answer us with “well, who else are you going to vote for, huh?”.

We can get a fresh start in 2014 with a new Republican majority that will LISTEN to us this time.

And yes, I’m better than the guy who shot liberty valance too.

When I go woodchuck hunting on my uncle’s farm in new york, i ring up about 25 chuckeroos in a weekend. Now this is accompished with big black dogs that roam the area scouring for chucks. So the chuck are tuned to duck and cover at the slightest hint of any motion from any direction. they are impossible to creep up on. Yet, when I go into the hunt, they dont have a chance. The dogs sometimes accompany me despite my shouts of get lost, stupid dog, and I have to take them into account when I plan an approach to a chuck I see that they dont. You try it. Know what? You cant.

Yes, I’m a better shot than sgt. york too. I once shot a turkey at 40 yards and all I saw was his eye. not with a shotgun, but with the same broken-sighted .22 with no scope. I once shot a can what was throwed up in a’ air holding the stock with my buttcheeks and pulling the trigger with a string held in my teeth riding a tractor and towing a baler.

Dear BadOldBoys @ 10:37, while Jim is big enough to speak for himself, I do not see inconsistency in his positions, as I embrace both myself. I deplore the self-aggrandizing leadership in our state government, seemingly incapable of forming a clear vision, and I agree with practically all of your 9:15 post. However, principled voting does not require one to vote for one incapable of winning. I often argue that government, at any level, is competent to serve only three purposes: (a) killing people, (b) depriving people of freedom, and (c) stealing wealth. To the extent these are good things, they should be done. My problem with leftists is that they kill the wrong people, deprive freedom in the wrong circumstances, and steal wealth for improper purposes.

Other than the two times I voted for Ronald Reagan, I cannot recall an instance when I cast a winning vote for a positive reason. Most of the time it is more important to defeat one who is wrongly-oriented. This year shapes up as one of those years. I plan to vote for the moderately unqualified John McCain in order to attempt to defeat the manifestly dangerous Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. The Supreme Court is one of the two institutions with potential to do the most damage to American Society (the other is the Federal Reserve.) The recent, fragile conservative majority – created when Alito replaced O’Connon on the court - has been significantly less destructive than the previous four decades of leftist activism. There will be vacancies in the Supreme Court in the next four years, and we need Ted Olson and/or his advice filling those vacancies; we need to eliminate as many leftists from lifetime and near-lifetime positions of authority, and that will not happen with either Obama or Clinton. If my vote allows Obama or Clinton to be elected, my vote will have inflicted a generation of injury on the country. So, while Bob Barr would be infinitely better than John McCain on an individual basis and would express my wishes, I have to vote to keep the leftists out of power – that is truly principled voting.

Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina into a dynamic economic region…if they really wanted to do so.

Sorry, Mid-south, but adding Alabama to the mix would put the others into an economic tail-spin. And, to tell you the truth, it might more nearly resemble the Keyston Kops of economics.

The last 7 years have seen some of the sorriest excuses for “leadership” that have ever existed on this Earth. Local level, state level, national level—all of it low down sorry. I’d even to be willing to bet there is sorry leadership in h3ll with Republicans in charge now (but they have been in charge for a long time down there, so nothing new). Perhaps the Democrats can step up to the plate, but after watching Nancy Pellosi, I have my doubts about them too.

The near-religious fanaticism of those that use the world liberal as an insult did NOT get the memo. (no, not the one about the TPS reports!)

It is true that the Reaganistas were very successful in capitalizing on turning that word into an epithet.

And the bumbling Republican-lites in the Democratic Party have a well documented history of politically shooting themselves in the foot.

But the Reagan venom was not terribly powerful, was short-lived and the anti-toxin much stronger.

The term liberal was respected LONG before the mis-revered Ronnie came to power as Hollywood gone wrong went Washington.

This is a liberal nation.

She always has been. And always will be.

Philosophically. Socially. Politically.

If you want to rid her of all the liberals, you probably admired this aspect of the gang in Germany circa 1933. Or maybe Russia in 1917, who both were exceptionally effective at silencing/eliminating them as an entire group.

So once again, in this greatest of all representative democracies, being called a liberal, in it’s truest sense of the word, is a complement.

And as we all know, it is the term “conservative” that is now being generally scrutinized and VERY heavily refuted. But IMHO only because it has, for thirty years, been hijacked and bankrupted; and bought hook, line and sinker by the GOPs most gullible followers.

And because of it, the nation suffers mightily…

Ms. Angela Tuck and many others seem to miss or deliberately avoid a most important point about the Obama/Wright controversy that received its first national attention from Fox News. The debacle continues as much for Barak Obama’s handling of it as for some of the content of the sermons.

Recall that Obama’s statements progressed from inferences that he did not personally see it, to hearing some things that made him uneasy (‘cringe’), … to if Wright had not retired (recently), Obama would have said something to him.

Most people understand that the clergy and congregation of this church are not [Fill in Blank). And, the sermons reflect particular views and experiences and are not [Fill in Blank]. It was Obama’s misdirection and equivocation that matter.

It is in the same vein of misdirection and equivocation that the Rezko association matters. Here, the denials usually refer to a narrow strip of land, returned campaign funds, or billable hours.

Even accepting that, I can not ignore eleven dilapidated buildings designated as affordable housing in Obama’s district that received grants, loans, and Federal tax credits. Further, a sizable number of these Rezko properties appear to be within five miles of the Obama’s home.

A Liberal Definition by John F. Kennedy: Acceptance Speech of the New York Liberal Party Nomination

September 14, 1960

*What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label “Liberal?” If by “Liberal” they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer’s dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of “Liberal.” *

But if by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”

But first, I would like to say what I understand the word “Liberal” to mean and explain in the process why I consider myself to be a “Liberal,” and what it means.

Is it just me, or is “hehehe” something a twelve year old girl would write?

JFK (cont.):

I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man’s ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves.

I believe also in the United States of America, in the promise that it contains and has contained throughout our history of producing a society so abundant and creative and so free and responsible that it cannot only fulfill the aspirations of its citizens, but serve equally well as a beacon for all mankind. I do not believe in a super-state. I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well. But I believe in a government which acts, which exercises its full powers and full responsibilities. Government is an art and a precious obligation; and when it has a job to do, I believe it should do it. And this requires not only great ends but that we propose concrete means of achieving them.

More from that liberal RAT, JFK:

Our responsibility is not discharged by announcement of virtuous ends. Our responsibility is to achieve these objectives with social invention, with political skill, and executive vigor.

I believe for these reasons that liberalism is our best and only hope in the world today. For the liberal society is a free society, and it is at the same time and for that reason a strong society. Its strength is drawn from the will of free people committed to great ends and peacefully striving to meet them. Only liberalism, in short, can repair our national power, restore our national purpose, and liberate our national energies. And the only basic issue in the 1960 campaign is whether our government will fall in a conservative rut and die there, or whether we will move ahead in the liberal spirit of daring, of breaking new ground, of doing in our generation what Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson did in their time of influence and responsibility.

The best study of those who label can perhaps be found in John Rosemond’s parenting books. He calls it name calling - one of the child like behaviors that ought be parented out of a child as they mature.

He also mentions three other traits of a child that need to be parented, which, ironically, also seem to apply to today’s rightwing:

1) What I want I deserve to have 2) If I want it I should have it now 3) If you have it, and I want it, then you should give it to me.

I realize JFK was no fighter-pilot hero in the Texas ANG, but:

Our liberalism has its roots in our diverse origins. Most of us are descended from that segment of the American population which was once called an immigrant minority. Today, along with our children and grandchildren, we do not feel minor. We feel proud of our origins and we are not second to any group in our sense of national purpose. For many years New York represented the new frontier to all those who came from the ends of the earth to find new opportunity and new freedom, generations of men and women who fled from the despotism of the czars, the horrors of the Nazis, the tyranny of hunger, who came here to the new frontier in the State of New York. These men and women, a living cross section of American history, indeed, a cross section of the entire world’s history of pain and hope, made of this city not only a new world of opportunity, but a new world of the spirit as well.

But in 1960 (and in 2008) the cause of liberalism cannot content itself with carrying on the fight for human justice and economic liberalism here at home. For here and around the world the fear of war hangs over us every morning and every night. It lies, expressed or silent, in the minds of every American. We cannot banish it by repeating that we are economically first or that we are militarily first, for saying so doesn’t make it so. More will be needed than goodwill missions or talking back to Soviet politicians or increasing the tempo of the arms race. More will be needed than good intentions, for we know where that paving leads.

They are not.

They merely elicit and expose extremist enmity and irrationality at its very worst.

And wonderfully illustrate the ever-growing differences between rational, moral men and far fetched, reactionary ideologues.

Here is JFK’s almost Nostradamus-like kicker:

Our opponents would like the people to believe that in a time of danger it would be hazardous to change the administration that has brought us to this time of danger. I think it would be hazardous not to change. I think it would be hazardous to continue four more years of stagnation and indifference here at home and abroad, of starving the underpinnings of our national power, including not only our defense but our image abroad as a friend.

This is an important election — in many ways as important as any this century — and I think that the Democratic Party and the Liberal Party here in New York, and those who believe in progress all over the United States, should be associated with us in this great effort. The reason that Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson had influence abroad, and the United States in their time had it, was because they moved this country here at home, because they stood for something here in the United States, for expanding the benefits of our society to our own people, and the people around the world looked to us as a symbol of hope.

I think it is our task to re-create the same atmosphere in our own time. Our national elections have often proved to be the turning point in the course of our country. I am proposing that 1960 (2008) be another turning point in the history of the great Republic.

Some pundits are saying it’s 1928 all over again. I say it’s 1932 all over again. I say this is the great opportunity that we will have in our time to move our people and this country and the people of the free world beyond the new frontiers of the 1960s (2000s).

And I am reasonably certain that another very significant portion of this deadly incompetent gang in Washington is going to be looking for work “in the private sector”…

I cant tell you how much I hated Dan Rather. I hated his delivery. I hated his pie hole, yes, not a mouth, he had a pie hole. I hated the way he pursed his pie hole when he talked and that way he had of communicating with his vacial expressions, “I’m telling the news, here’s a story, boy I’ve got the scoop right here,”

When I found out he fell for the national gaurd story, I knew he was finished. If it were true, he wouldn’t have had the scoop, the info would have been picked up long before Rather had it. He fell for the oldest gag in the book.

But get this: I hate Katie Blowek even more than I hate Dan Rather. PURE HATE for that woman.

But get this too: The person who fed Rather that easily-smelled cheese story had to know that all the evidence of Bush’s desertion in time of war, (which is true), was destroyed. That’s how we know it’s true. If that person hadn’t been sure, he would never have risked the election by setting up dan rather to dig deeper for evidence that might be there, see the point? And if it were impossible that W deserted in time of war, then there would be reams of paper trails, orders, reviews, and photos and the works on bush’s duty, but there’s nothing. NOTHING. not an old uniform, not a roster with his name on it, not a shred of evidence that he ever did squat.

That sir, is how you can deduce the truth from an event like Rather’s self set trap.

It’s guilt by being the devil, which is why cheney looked so sure of himself in 04. Explains rumsfeld now dont it.

Wednesday, April 09, 2008 Twenty-nine percent (29%) of American adults favor a national health insurance program overseen by the Federal Government. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 39% oppose such a government-led initiative while 31% are not sure. The survey also found that 46% believe the quality of care would decrease under a national health insurance program while 16% believe that quality would increase. Twenty percent (20%) say the quality of care would remain about the same while 18% are not sure.

Instead of using your insider knowlege and public platform to shine a light on the stupidity, irresponsibility and selfishness apparent during this Session (and last!), you only rarely wrote about state legislative matters at all. Where timely reporting could have informed and motivated the constituents of these feckless egotists, perhaps even forced the “leadership” to justify their actions or change course, you waited until they were safely back home, the Session wasted and empty, before challenging their ineptitude.

TW said it best, the kid is a shining example of today’s (Young) Republican, a real contributor to The Unites States of America.

He obviously resents veterans, he hates John Kennedy, he despises liberals, moderates, progressives, greens, independents, he thinks the scientific method is a form of autoeroticism - in short he loathes anything and everything that he can neither understand nor agree with.

But as one of the “faithful”, he learned well at the foot of the neo-con masters like Gingrich and Barr.

And the disgusting image that this imbecile promotes is why, rightfully or not, the GOP could not take one single Democratic seat in the last election.

Not a single one.

A first in American politics.

That’s got to sting a little.

And then the “real” conservatives watched in dismay as their party could not nominate ONE of their numerous reactionary, chest-pounding chickenhawks.

Rather a combat veteran and a moderate (both anathemas to this crowd), despised by the Bush/Cheney/Rove cabal and their sycophants, embarrassed them ALL by avoiding pandering to the frauds and nut jobs in the “base” and b!tch slapped them ALL back to their respective lairs.

Given these two events, JFK, words of nearly fifty years ago still ring tue, “Our opponents would like the people to believe that in a time of danger it would be hazardous to change the administration that has brought us to this time of danger. I think it would be hazardous not to change. I think it would be hazardous to continue four more years of stagnation and indifference here at home and abroad, of starving the underpinnings of our national power, including not only our defense but our image abroad as a friend.”

And clearly America is absolutely fed up with these foul-mouth extremists. That their mental masturbation is completely impotent is the only saving grace. That and the irrefutable fact that no neo-con will sit in the White House come January 2009.

From The Tempest:

Full fathom five thy father lies;

Of his bones are coral made;

Those are pearls that were his eyes:

Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.

TEHRAN, April 12 (Reuters) - A bomb blast in a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday killed at least eight Iranians in southern Fars province and injured more than 50 people, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. “The death toll is expected to rise above eight because some of the injured people are in a critical condition,” Fars said, without giving a source.

Bush’s fault because of Iraq I’m sure.

Speaking of Iran:

“They are still in contravention of UN Security Council resolutions, which have called on them to cease and desist these kinds of activities,” DPA quoted Sean McCormack as saying Tuesday. “Yet they continue to poke their finger in the eye of the international community” added the US official.

In ten years, when a nuke is shot at and goes off in Israel (and it will be blamed on Israel), and Israel retaliates, who are we going to blame? Bush the “warmonger” or peacenik liberals who said we should do nothing and let the UN deal with it?

If you mean as sitting President, AmVet, then that’s true. It’s also true that no neo-con ever has been President. Clinton was closer to one than W is, and Clinton was not a neoconservative. Bush has hired them and has listened too them, and I’m not sure that McCain won’t do the same. To guess intelligently about whether he might do so, I’d first have to figure out what subspecies of conservative McCain is.

The House talent to which you keep referring are not Reaganesque, though some of them think they are, and if they had any grit at all they’d have banded together and peeled enough Democratic votes to replace Richardson before Georgia was faced with this crisis of leadership.

So I take heart from that part of your piece in which you look to the Congressional delegation, and possibly even Isakson, for a deliverance. (I’d far rather see Newt, but beggars can’t be choosers.)

I know that some here are BIG fans, so I’m asking for a little help on this one.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how Mann Coulter’s and Rush Limberger’s support for and campaigning on behalf of Senator Clinton is going?

I can’t seem to find a single thing about it!

Glenn, thanks for the reply.

My thoughts - point one is a factor but doesn’t begin to fully explain the historical event whereby the GOP failed to take even ONE seat from the Dems in the entire US Congress!

Point two - partially unsubstantiated. He, like Ronnie absolutely exploded the size, scope, cost and intervention of the federal government.

Also, like Ronnie, he just loves puppet governments.

They both ran on a platform of faux family values.

And both also had unique “interpretations” of the law, shall we say, though to his credit Reagan was not nearly as imperious.

Point three - ludicrous. There has never been a time in the republic’s history where the “loyal opposition” has not done so.

Point four - taken. Mixed with much corruption.

But my good friend, either through oversight or non-transparency (I’m not sure it that works here, but I love the concept!) you fail to address the systemic, fundamental problems and real reasons.

Maybe Andy or Rufus has another take on this matter.

Because I can make a LONG laundry list of the reasons…

Hey Sonny, don’t worry about prayer or moving the border, just dig a ginormous well at the closest point to the river. That huge gurgling noise will be the Tennessee aquifer emptying into Georgia. BWAHAHAHAAA!!!

@AJC,

The fighting in Basra showed clearly the Iraqi Army is not ready to defend the country from an Shiite milita. They had to be rescued by the US ground forces.

The so-called surge is a failure. There is no political reconcilliation; there is not loyalty by the Iraqi army; the Iraqi police have been estimated to have a desertion rate of 70%.

We are paying to referee a civil war.

Dubya stood up a shouted in your face, the troops will not come home; the troops do not deserve a rest from combat; there will be more troops in Iraq after the “surge” ends in July than there were one year ago; the announcement of a reduction of the troop count to 120,000 is double speak for those that believe in Dubya. The drawdown to 120,000 only affects those that will be deployed AFTER July 2008. There are not troops to put in place to make this rotation happen, therefore, it is a BIG LIE!

On top of that, Dubya stood in our faces and said this folly will cost us another $108 Billion dollars.

Is that money to build more schools for Iraqs?; get them clean water and sewer? train the Army and Police forces?

Do you think we could use that money to bolster OUR economy?

My fellow, loyal, {{{{{}}}}},

It has come to my attention that you have finally been able to recognize repetition — mindless, meaningless, thoughtless, worthless, {{{{{repetition}}}}}. Now, the next step is to, as you parrot, “show some change up”. Remember, there is no shame in volunteering to serve my cause. Sign up. Don’t tell and I won’t ask. You’ll even get to play with a real gun over there. You’ll have to convince those around you that you can handle the bullet though, Barney.

I think you need to address your accusations against me before you post that same comment for the umptheenth time, ShamWay.

I see nobody else has taken my challenge to post how I have “resentment” for vets and “hate” JFK.

Jackie,

You and AmVet and TW and others here keep trying to read the GOP tumult through your own wishful lens, and it works but it doesn’t. The shift in the GOP occurred in 1992, and was made clear to most only in the recent presidential primaries. It doesn’t really represent a repudiation of anyone or anything, so much as an embrace of Nixonian pragmatism. Alas.

The GOP is small to begin with, relative to the DP. And the self-described conservatives in the Party have not been marginalized; rather, they now form the dominant plurality, edged out by the pragmatists.

None of this represents a GOP purge of the Big Hairs, Greedheads and Fundamentalist Pharisees we all would like to see sent packing by the Party. It is especially now, when it has become clear that conservatives are the minority in the GOP, that conservative Republicans will have to band together and overlook one another’s unfortunate habits involving poisonous snakes or cosmetic surgery or financial derivatives. etc. Some conservatives will bolt the Party. Most will hold it together, and build toward a longer future as the Goldwaterites did.

By love, agreed.

IMHO, she is simply the wrong person for the job.

But still is probably better than any of the pretend conservatives, like Hunter, Brownback, Romney or Thompson who all lost to the moderate McCain in humiliating fashion.

Like being unable to take one’s eyes off a train wreck as it is happening, watching the neo-cons further implode this November is going to be much fun for a LOT of Americans.

@Glenn,

True conservatives like Goldwater were good for the Repubs and the USA. They brought the courage of their conviction and a well-reasoned to problems at hand.

I consider you a “true” conservative that is committed to the cause that you pursue. As I have said to you previously, having a reasonable and rational debate about political issues enlighten all that participate in the debate as opposed to those that try to dominate with a myopic view of the discussion.

I do, however, believe, the Repubs will take a monumental whipping in November.

Geez Blowhard, how many times do you need that question answered before you begin to develop a clue?

Ann said she would campaign for Hillary if McCain and Clinton were the respective nominees. Are they yet? I’ll answer that for you since you aren’t very bright. NO.

Rush never did say he would.

I wish you guys would knock it off with good-copping/bad-copping JFK to death. For now that man is lost to history. There is no good work on who he really was and what he really meant. There will be, but not now. It took historians 130 years to start writing sense enough to fill a book about Abraham Lincoln, and the man left all his papers intact!

JFK’s been a football for too long. We love him, we’re embarrassed by him or even resent him, but we don’t really know him because the received narratives about him are all so flawed. The story of JFK is one of the biggest gaps and failures in American historiography, if not THE biggest. Just lay off awhile.

AmVet,

I tried to couch my first bullet as ground conditions going into the midterm, so as to explain the unique things that went into that complete reversal. The transparent Blame America First strategy of the DNC—-as I received it and helped to implement it—-was quite new in that, like Jimmy Carter’s suck-up to Hamas, it knew no boundary between tearing down the other party and tearing down the country.

That Coulter and Limbaugh even threaten to support, campaign for and ostensibly vote for Sen. Clinton shows just the amazing extent of the dispirited disarray among Republicans.

That nobody in GOP sackcloth will address or own up to this is also illustrative.

The awful results for the Republicans are already as good as in.

Now if only we can do something about getting rid of that shameful Chambless…

BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb killed an American soldier in Baghdad on Saturday, capping the bloodiest week for U.S. troops in Iraq this year.

Greetings, fellow goons and klanners-

It has come to thee attention of thee White Powers that many of you hacks have become bitter and angree because Bruno is no longer leading thee Black Crack Dealing Muslim Terrorist. So after thee rally today, we will be passing out guns and other shining things so that you morons will have something to cling to in these dark days ahead.

Yes, I know that Bruno said that she was “inevitable” but don’t you dimwits know not to trust anything that comes from thee mouth of the Great And Blessed Giver Of Government Benefits? Do you not know to scrutinize each and every word, even “hello,” for truthfulness and honesty?

How many times can you mouth breathers be lied to before it dawns on you, are we not still in Iraq, even though thee White Powers kampaigned in 2006 to cut and run?

And what of the “Most Honest And Ethical Government In History” fable that thee Power Hungry Ones foisted upon you, do you know how many days and focus groups thee Exalted Grandees spent scheming that one?

But remember, as we have told you before, these lies are your fault, you craven slackers and assorted deadbeats, it is you always asking for more from thee White Powers, making them to lie to appease you.

Do you not have thee nicest housing projects in all of thee land, complete with your satellite dish?

Did we not lavish upon you a buck fifty an hour for your job at Stuckey’s truck stop?

So go forth from here, you beady eyed blockheads, and dream the dreams of America, never quench your desire to lay in bed all day and have us wait on you hand and foot.

Maybe we will, maybe we won’t.

And as for Thee Black Man and his his standing in thee polls, are you dimwits not thee voters? What have you been telling thee pollsters at PMSNBC, did you lie to them so that they would not think you are racist, even though they could see thee Flaming Cross tattooed onto your scrawny chest?

So let us ride, you slobbering dunces, hop aboard your horsies, put your pointy little cap on your empty head and carry thee Words Of Bruno throughout thee land.

Whether they are true or not.

Sieg Heil!
