Love Dr. Socks’ take on the differing messages aimed at men and women in advertisting:
“TO Women: You’re leaking, aging, hairy, overweight, and everything hurts. And your children’s clothes are filthy. For God’s sake, sort yourself out.”
TO Men: Shave and get drunk, because you’re already brilliant.”
TC has the best News Roundup going, so rather than try to recreate one, I’ll just shamelessly link to theirs.
Speaking of which, I came across this fascinating article by Olivia Judson, Science blogger for the NYT. She argues that eating a low-carb diet might be a bad idea. Perhaps we should eat all the ice cream we can and take a pass on the carrots and spinach, because if we overeat we’ll evolve our genes to stop storing so much fat. Oddly compelling. Pass the butter scones with extra jelly! Oh, and p.s. do I think Fat is a Feminist issue? You bet your fat/skinny ass I do! That’s why you’ll NEVER see me blogging about weight/eating issues. It’s all a giant conspiracy Ladies!! Like Violet says, it’s only the MAN who wants you to be insecure about what you look like in the mirror. Who gives a rat’s ass how much you or I or anyone weighs?
I will, however, blog about cupcakes.. . Forever.

Jumbo flying squid — aggressive 5-foot-long sea monsters with razor-sharp beaks and toothy tentacles — have invaded the shallow waters off San Diego, spooking scuba divers and washing up dead on tourist-packed beaches.
The carnivorous calamari, which can grow up to 100 pounds, came up from the depths last week and swarms of them roughed up unsuspecting divers. Some divers report tentacles enveloping their masks and yanking at their cameras and gear.

Disgust alert – this is just unbelievable if true
From atlas shrugged link above:
We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree. Obama to Islam
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a “wedding” ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard – essentially raped by her “husband.”
“I regret that, even though the marriages were legal,” he said.
Why the regret, if the marriages were “legal?”
“Because,” he went on, “I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their ‘wedding’ night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. And they would always fight back, so we would have to put sleeping pills in their food. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die.
“I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over,” he said. “I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her.”

Islamic Supremacist Group Holds First U.S. Conference
A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq’s onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.
Now, it is coming out of the shadows and openly hosting a July 19 conference entitled, “The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam,” at a posh Hilton hotel in a suburb of Chicago.

Love these comments by Dr Socks:
1. Violet says:
“Let me know how all that hating works out for you.”
[commenter’s name redacted] , this is a feminist space. In a feminist space, women are free to discuss how patriarchy works, including references to “men” as a group. They are free to do this without constantly affirming that they don’t hate all men, that they know that not all men are bad, etc., etc. — the kind of craven appeasement that is usually expected of us and that we must perform without fail whenever men are in earshot.
When you’re in a feminist space, you need to remember that
2. Violet says:
[Commenter’s name redacted], the thing is, on feminist blogs we’ve pretty much been there and done that, about a hundred billion times. You can’t have a conversation about patriarchy without a guy [and some women. Added-dwp] showing up to police your language, insist that you clarify that you’re not talking about HIM, provide reassurance that you know not all men are bad, etc. Every single time. Every single blog. It’s difficult to have a conversation when you have to keep reassuring the odd guy who strays in that you’re not going to cut his dick off. This is why so many feminist bloggers simply ban men from commenting. Not because they have any particular animosity towards men, but because of the constant thread derailments.
Alternatively, some feminist bloggers have tried the equivalent of posting signs: “We do not hate all men. We’re sure you’re a wonderful guy. We’re talking about ‘men’ as a class within the patriarchal system, or generally about male-associated behavior. Relax.” But it doesn’t necessarily help.

A few tidbits of Hillary’s trip to India in the NYTs article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/world/asia/19clinton.html?_r=1&ref=world
Hillary has her own agenda and proves she isn’t there for her own ego trip like the King of the Frauds….
-The choice of Mumbai as Mrs. Clinton’s first port of call was steeped in symbolism for another reason: It offered her a platform to speak out against the coordinated terrorist attacks here last November that killed 173 people and wounded more than 300.
-Mrs. Clinton delivered her message on an outdoor terrace at the hotel that had been littered with bloodied bodies during the siege. Just before the news conference, the Indian police urged her not to speak there for security reasons, but she resisted.
The rest of her day was devoted to two longtime interests: women’s issues and education.
—————
Our Hillary is no freakin’ coward, even with a broken wing she has courage and keeps on keeping on.
Bash! To all the critics that say Hillary is being sidelined. Reminds me of the primaries where everyone said for her to quit, that she couldn’t win. Win she did…yet maybe those behind the scenes knew they would do anything to carry the messiah over the finish line…….EVEN CHEAT and push 18 million of their voters over the cliff.
Well we fell over the cliff alright. It was a hell of a long fall, but we had a soft landing and we are alive and well, and still pissed off.
We are not pissed off and feeling helpless like we did last year, we are spreading the word of dissent and pointing out the corruption of Baracko and his crew of thugs.
Proof that others like us have some clout-
-Baracko’s cupcake poles…goin’ down, down, down.
-MSM’s ratings goin’ down, down, down…so far many are downsizing.
And the freakin’ Repubs are licking their chops thinking that Hillary supporters will fall for their BS lately, claiming to have seen the light and going back to ‘good guy principles’…that’s all Bullshit too. Just like Baracko lied to get votes, so are the Republicans. Keep your eyes and ears open PUMAs.
Pretty soon, possibly in the next six months we will need to start mass producing t-shirts that say, “We told you so!”
BTW- Greta will interview Hillary in India tomorrow on her show.

excerpt:
Should your child’s teacher wear a turban, a hijab, a kippah or other “religious dress’? The state of Oregon doesn’t think so. The Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act, now awaiting the governor’s signature, requires all employers to let workers wear religious items with one exception: “No teacher in any public school shall wear any religious dress while engaged in the performance of duties as a teacher.”
The proposed law has set up a classic religious liberty battle between the First Amendment’s Establishment clause, which tells government not to favor (or disfavor) one religion over another, and the Free Exercise clause, which tells government to leave the religious alone. The new law also reflects the increasing difficulty of accommodating a widening variety of religious faiths in a pluralistic society.
Organizations representing Sikhs and Muslims claim the new law would unconstitutionally limits their religious freedom. They are asking Gov. Ted Kulongoski to veto the bill.

India won’t accept any legally binding emission reductions: Jairam Ramesh
GURGAON: Refusing to be pushed by the US on putting a cap on emissions, India on Sunday said it would not accept any “legally binding” reductions but assured that its carbon footprint would never exceed that of developed nations.
Environment minister Jairam Ramesh asserted that New Delhi was “simply not in a position” to accept any legally binding emission reductions and made it clear that India was not running away from responsibilities on the issue.
The minister’s comments came at a joint press conference with US secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she toured the ITC Green Building here which showcases environment -friendly practices in India.

And at the same time taking away ANYTHING to do with God (in the Christian sense)..as in school pray..even silent 1 min. prayer has been taken away before school or at football games…even going after our Boy and Girl Scout Org’s., on religious grounds.

Possibly the most significant two sentences in the Atlas Shrugged article:
“The interview took place by telephone, and on condition of anonymity. It was arranged by a reliable source whose identity can also not be revealed.”
If the allegations are true, they’re horrific. Given the source and the source of the source, though, I’ll wait for evidence. Remember the Kuwaiti premies “tossed out of incubators to die” by the wicked Iraqis?

Deb
are you sure fox nation is affiliated with fox news? No mention of affiliation.
“The Fox Nation was created for people who believe in the United States of America and its ideals, as expressed in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Emancipation Proclamation.
It is a community that believes in the American Dream: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One that believes being an American is an honor, as well as a great responsibility— and a wonderful adventure.
This is a place for people who believe we live in a great country, a welcoming refuge for legal immigrants who want to contribute their talent and abilities to make our way of life even greater. We believe we should enjoy the company and support of each other, delighting in the creativity, ingenuity, and work ethic of one and all, while observing the basic rules of civility and mutual respect and, most importantly, strengthening our diverse society by striving for unity.
The Fox Nation is for those committed to the core principles of tolerance, open debate, civil discourse–and fair and balanced coverage of the news. It is for those opposed to intolerance, excessive government control of our lives, and attempts to monopolize opinion or suppress freedom of thought, expression, and worship.
We invite all Americans who share these values to join us here at Fox Nation.”

Barack Obama feels the heat, changes the play
By BEN SMITH | 7/19/09 11:02 AM EDT
Excerpt:
“In turn, Obama has adjusted, deviating from the playbook on every front.
The cool president has turned hot on the stump, stripping to shirtsleeves to lambaste doubters in New Jersey Thursday. He departed from his prepared remarks last week to accept a Republican challenge to take personal ownership of the economy: “That’s fine. Give it to me,” he said.
Even Obama’s scripted speeches are deliberately more forceful, aggressive and direct in taking on critics, aides say. Friday remarks at the White House had a trash-talk edge – count me out and you’ll be sorry.”

Re #1 — I studied “Logic” at an all-women’s Catholic college, taught by a woman. During the entire course, I saw no evidence of the discipline of “Logic” being that of “male subjectivity.” It is a discipline that enables humans to consider, examine, assess ideas and issues by applying principles of critical thinking.
Re #2 — The portion quoted called to my mind the principles of individual liberty on which America was founded.
Re #3 — Though I haven’t read all articles at Fox Nation, it would surprise me if all of them exhibit a “tone and tenor” that would lead one to categorize all of them as “christian/racist/conservative.”
I’ve posted a link @ #45 which seems to indicate that Fox Nation is affiliated with Fox News.

Link to Amnesty International’s report on the execution of minors in Iran and the execution of adults for crimes committed as minors:

The report has actual names, ages, and accusations of which the victims were convicted. Three things jump out at you:
1. The overwhelming majority of children executed (or adults executed for crimes committed as minors) are male.
2. The female victims are accused of various “crimes against chastity”–i.e, are not virgins.
3. No mention of rape of female victims prior to execution.
If you’re looking for horrors, this report will provide quite enough without sensationalism or embellishment.
By the way, the U. S. also executes persons who were minors when they committed their crimes.

To be fair, it doesn’t make clear by quotation that Obama actually said that, but the writer certainly presents it as ‘a recent change’ in tone, style and language in his delivery.
It’s interesting, I thought he personified those characteristics the whole of last year. Of course, I’m not all that into charm over substance, rhetoric over fact and self-glorification of non-existent experience on such a grand scale.
Given those characteristics, thuggery is a given if one dares to doubt.

HOUSE ON “C” STREET – THE FAMILY
“Rich powerful men who are chosen by god for leadership don’t have to worry about murdering and cheating on their wives. They have a pass from god.”
The House on “C Street” houses Politians who believe they are the “Chosen Ones” who are above “Christian Laws” and “Morality”. They account to no one but their “Family”. These residents are Congressmen and Senators..and very dangerous….Watch Rachel Maddow at :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dox4jdW4UyQ
What many of us have feared, MSNBC;s Rachel Maddow has brought to light on a series of shows she has been doing on a fundamentalist sect called “The Family”. Among Rachel’s guests was Jeff Sharlet, a contributing editor for Harper’s and Rolling Stone who actually infiltrated the Family and wrote the book on it, “The Family: – The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.
“The Family is about the other half of American fundamentalist power—not its angry masses, but its sophisticated “Elites”.
According to Mr. Sharlot the group began as an anti-New Deal organization in the 1930s when the founder believed that God gave him a revelation that government regulation was a tool of Satan’s.” He said Fellowship Foundation founder Abram Vereide believed God “told him that Christianity had been misunderstood for 2,000 years. He also said Doug Coe, who runs the Fellowship Foundation, often presents Hitler, Stalin and Mao as leadership models. Although he acknowledges them as “evil men“, they understood what the New Testament is about – and it is not justice, mercy, love, forgiveness … but power. That’s the bottom line.”

Wow…I heard about The Family several years ago and thanks to Rachel for bringing to the air.

Scarlet, your posts/links are typically ’spot on.’ I’m not much of a TV viewer anyway, and unfortunately, I especially can’t bear to watch Maddow, whom I tend to refer to as ‘mad dog.’ Her presentations usually leave me feeling as though viewers are continually being savaged by a ‘liberal fascist.’ (I don’t know anything about ‘The Family,’ but extremists of all kinds — particularly sexist/misogynistic/patriarchal male hypocrits — have long been known to use anything they can find to explain/justify their sick behavior.)

Linking article from Politico… Maybe I missed it but when did they stop tolerating “O”. Article points out how “O” administration is using threats of withholding money from districts to garner votes on Crap and trade and the Health care bill… yep, pay for play goes to new level…
How can we trust any politicians?

Don’t know who else had Fox on today, but I heard something on there today that really “clicked” when I heard it. I know the one who said it isn’t all that believable, but IMHO this is something that makes more sense than anything else I’ve heard on the subject lately. Sorry, I can’t find a link about this. Morris said something like: Hillary may be choosing on her own to look like she’s being left out in Obama’s program. She is watching his approval ratings go down, down, down; and once it get down to, say, 30 or 40 she’s going to start stepping out and being more assertive countering what his agenda. She is waiting for him to implode and then she’ll be all set to take the stage in 2012 and point out that she wasn’t involved in his program.” What do you think? When I heard that my first thought was “yeah! THAT’S IT!”

A question to PUMAs that are drawn to Sarah Palin.
If you took Sarah Palin out of the equation, would you support the Republican Party in the next two elections?
For me, Sarah is a great gal that doesn’t share my political beliefs but I hope she runs again for the sake of Repub women that need their inspiration.
I would never believe that the Republican’s have changed their ways, cleaned up their act from the last 8 years and are going to do what is best for citizen’s of this country that they forgot to do all the years they ran the country.
I don’t want the Jackass and his thugs to win a second term.
I just hope it isn’t voting for the lesser of two evils again.

I have been thinking that for weeks, that Hillary is making it well known what she supports and what she is opposed to. The Jackass has an invisible target on his back and Hillary has him in her sights…but she is very smart and will leave few fingerprints.

Everything tastes better fried. Probably even cupcakes taste better fried.
My brother and I were watching some tv program on a fair where everything is fried and I mentioned I would try everything except the candy bar. We got into the biggest dispute because he claimed I would try the fried candy bar, too.
For the record, I would not. I can barely eat them plain…I have one now that I have been eating for three days…can anyone else claim they cut up a candy bar and make it last half a week?

BillieJo: tough question. Sarah made it easy for me to vote McCain/Palin. Republicans have been very bad, but Dems were worse in 2008.
Consider this, which I was going to place in comment before I saw your (BJ’s) question:
White House Deputy Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer dismissed the suggestion that Obama should be expected to succeed effortlessly – or that he’s on a path toward failure on any of these varied fronts.
“Obama and his team have been down this road dozens of times and been declared dead many times and always succeeded,” he said. “No one gets rich betting against Barack Obama.”

Jeb of Arabia
I suspect Jeb is the real insider choice.
They knew tha D would win this time so let them take the blame for crashed economy and Trillions given to Wall Street.
Then Jeb can continue the dynasty who keeps the Saudies happy.
Palin is a wrench in their plans. The party insiders could have arranged to pay off her debt in a matter of hours. What is half a million to them? Notice they did squat to help her They want her gone .

yeah, I love what violet had to say about the ads, but she can kma regarding the every single time reassuring men.
Why, then, did she design TNA (STUPIDEST acronym in history, ban none) so that their VERY FIRST statement was on how men were “welcome?” Screw them.
I went to a real life TNA meeting. Sure enough, a man was there, supportive husband of an awesome woman.
Both were fantastic and dedicated people.
But when he opened his mouth, out came useless patronizing crap.
It took every ounce of my strength to remain polite but I did correct him. He was pontificating how TNA could improve because they weren’t being effective.
Hmf. At the time they were consulted on mainstream tv and paper news outlets everywhere.
The FAILURE of TNA came from stifling women who slapped down the MALE TROLLS on their site.
Violet also censors her site. As I said, as long as they coddle men and censor women, she and they can KMA.

Yup, the same thing they did to Hillary.
I can’t see anyone in the running that is liberal enough to vote for in the Repub party. Sarah supports the right winged side of her party, even if she is a woman and a good woman at that. She is no centralist.
Just remember if you like to vote for Sarah as a woman, you also have to accept the basic concept of the Republican agenda.
If Hillary doesn’t run, I am going to look very hard at any woman not running in the Repub party. I hope a fantastic woman runs as Independent.

I still think it’s possible that if Palin runs it may be as an independent. Why else would she so blatantly “thumb her nose” at the republican party by saying she is going stumping for conservative democrats? She knows as well as anybody that saying that is one more thing that’s going to keep the republican party “elites” from supporting her candidacy. Her saying that told me that either she isn’t going to run at all, or it’s going to be as an independent. I’d love to see her run in a new “American party”!!

I don’t have a clue as to what Sarah is planning to do. I thought her dropping out as Governor was a huge risk. Either she is done running and disgusted with her party not supporting her or she is gonna do it her way and hope for the best. I also wonder if she is paying her political dues by stumping for others, and the stumping for Dems I don’t take as very serious, just that she will support anyone that follows a similar agenda as hers??

(the bottom left picture all green is the 100yr goal) This was from a U.S. Islamic teaching site..that has now been scrubbed..back in 2008.. but the group is still active.. Nation of Islam..heard that name before..you know that group in Chicago..that all the high members are friends and neighbors of our new President..yes that group.
They are just moving faster now in the U.S. thanks to the election of “O”…and the take over of our banks.

“She accepted the word Bitch and rejected the N word. “Bitch, no problem,” she said. I smiled and listened and as I took my leave I gushed sweetness and said she had convinced me, and then I shook her hand and said “how nice it has been to meet you Bitch. Please forgive me, I can’t recall your name, but because Bitch really works for you so well, I’ll be happy to oblige. Goodnight you adorable bitch.”
I gotta tell you, she didn’t take kindly to my sanguine goodbye. Her face turned about as red as a face can turn. She left the room to find her gray-haired husband and they promptly left the party. It all sounded so good on paper to her, didn’t it?

OMG, Dances! Julian apple pie is fantastic! We went through there 3 years ago on our way from La Jolla to Sun City to visit my partner’s grandmother. Took an apple pie with us and drank fresh apple cider while there. Just kidding about the Chardonnay FedEx…even though I did enjoy the coffee you sent me.

Re #1 — I studied “Logic” at an all-women’s Catholic college, taught by a woman. During the entire course, I saw no evidence of the discipline of “Logic” being that of “male subjectivity.” It is a discipline that enables humans to consider, examine, assess ideas and issues by applying principles of critical thinking.

Schwarzenegger Postpones Budget Talks
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Lawmakers’ optimism about finally reaching a deal to close the state’s $26.3 billion budget deficit on Sunday turned out to be wishful thinking as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger abruptly postponed talks.

What it the schedule snafu, Dances?
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the state’s top legislators who are trying to close out a budget deal have canceled their planned meeting tonight because of an apparent scheduling snafu and will instead aim to meet tomorrow.

Actually, the US ended the death penalty for minors who committed crimes while juveniles back on March 1, 2005.
I remember that day, as I was very much involved (before then) in trying to raise awareness among my fellow Americans that we were included in that barbaric group of countries that sentenced minors to the dealth penalty.
The decision was reached in a 5-4 vote.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the mojority opinion to over turn the Death Penalty for juveniles.

I respect your decision to not support a woman candidate who is part of the republican party, it is your vote.
I was wonderin though, when you say that “Sarah deosn’t share my political beliefs,” could your be more specific.
If Sarah Palin were to run as a republican, say against Nancy Pelosi, who would you support?
As for myself, I am not ashamed to say that HRC was not my first choice to support among the dems. If I had my way Dennis Kucinich would be my president or Ralph Nader but in reality that just wasn’t going to happen. I gave my full support time and money to HRC early in the primary season because I knew she could beat anyone and as I learned more about her and attended her forums, my confidence in her grew.
I don’t view Sarah Palin as a republican or what the democrats have become. I really think that she has proven to be above party politics. I really don’t see her running as a republican if she does indeed run in 2012. But since 2008 the democrats can no longer take my vote for granted. I had absolutely no problem voting for McCain-Palin, and quite honestly, I would had loved to have been a fly on the curtam of the voting booth when Bill and Hillary cast their votes.

I loved that. You are spot on and like the Bush clan, O’Burka will hold the interests of the Saudis above the best interests of Americans.
I think the only people who are more afraid of Sarah Palin then the democrats, and posibly the republican elitists are the people who voluntarily accept Mohammed the child rapist as God’s prophet.

This morning I came across a NewsMax article saying that Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) on the House Ways and Means Committee had presented an amendment guaranteeing that illegal aliens would not be given ObamaCare. The article continued on to say that the amendment was defeated. Leary of NewsMax, I went to Heller’s dot gov site. Did not find what NewsMax claimed, but something nearly as interesting:
Members of Congress Must Participate in Public Plan
July 16, 2009
(Washington, DC) – Today U.S. Congressman Dean Heller (R-NV) offered an amendment to the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act (H.R. 3200) during the House Ways and Means Committee markup that would require members of Congress enroll in the government-run healthcare program. This amendment was defeated by a vote of 21 to 18.
“I do not believe the federal government should be running healthcare in our country and levying massive tax increases on America’s small businesses. However, if this Administration and the majority party are going to force government-run healthcare on the American people, then Members of Congress should be required to enroll in that plan. If the government-run ‘public plan’ is good enough for millions of our constituents, then it should be good enough for Members of Congress,” said Heller.
H.R. 3200 creates a government-run insurance plan that will place Washington bureaucrats in control of healthcare services, limiting choices for many Americans. While the Congressional Budget Office has yet to score the bill under consideration, independent estimates place the bill’s cost to American taxpayers at $1.5 trillion or greater. This legislation could also result in 114 million Americans losing their current health insurance coverage.
Methinks we should keep this guy on our radar. He’s acting like a keeper.

Newsweek: An Islamic Europe Is No Cause for Concern
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/newsweek-an-islamic-europe-is-no-cause-for-concern/
excerpt:
Here in Britain not a week goes by without a media story on an issue brought into the national discourse by the powerful Muslim Council of Britain, Muslim Association of Britain, or Muslim Parliament. In July a meeting at Conway Hall hosted by the Centre for Social Cohesion had to be abandoned because al-Muhajiroun was successful in refusing to allow men and women to sit together. The meeting spilled out into the street and a major confrontation was narrowly avoided, but not before a huge, adoring crowd had assembled to hear the ubiquitous and influential British Muslim leader Anjem Choudhary proclaim, “We will dominate this country, my brothers, and implement the beauty and perfection of Islam,” to shouts of “Sharia for the UK!”

Here’s a snip from the first article:
White House putting off release of budget update
…The administration’s annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama’s budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.
The release of the update – usually scheduled for mid-July – has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess.
The administration is pressing for votes before then on its $1 trillion health care initiative, which lawmakers are arguing over how to finance….

deb55, what do they say about making laws and making sausages — not pretty to watch? The thing about the Stimulus Bill is that it was HUUUUGE! $750 BILLION dollars is a LOT of line items, thousands of million dollar line items, and each one can/could be scoffed at or deemed unnecessary. But it DOES cost money to provide the VA Hospitals, public schools, and prisons with ham sandwiches for the cafeterias.
For me, the failure of the Stimulus Bill is that it was a wasted rushed-through effort that has only ended up helping states close their budget gaps and pay for things they were already doing, like provisioning public institutions. The bill was too SMALL to actually stimulate the economy. It’s going to be a disaster for states next year when they DONT have Stimulus dollars to pay for ham sandwiches. That’s when the pork is REALLY gonna hit the fan.
So, meanwhile the Taxpayer is sitting here outraged and confused. States going broke, families going broke, and Goldman Sachs getting filthy filthy rich because of OUR tax payments.
This is what we get when we elect an incompetent Brand President.

I CAN’T take anymore!!! I have cried until I have NO tears left!!! Then to read this BS!
I am one of those LOSING everything. Not because of anything I did!! WOMEN out here are fighting and losing. If I told you my story everyone reading would need anti dep.
Have already lost my business..insurance..my retirement..borrowed to rebuild my house from a fire (underinsured)..taken on a critical ill/wheelchair son (who was just denied SS/Med..after losing his ins)..now about to lose my house that it took me 28 months to rebuild..because the job that I found after 5 months (after closing my business)..put everyone on comm only.. 4 mths ago, or they were going out of business..got letter from bank saying I have to come up with $5,200..or they are filing foreclosuer..and that had to do with taxes, and Ins. they paid when my house wasn’t even their..Want some more of What is happening to real people…WOMEN ARE LOSING!! And that is not even the whole story!
I am one of those who stood up for myself years ago, to abuse..and today I wonder what the Hel* for. He still makes the big money. We can fight..work 2 jobs..raise our children..and in the end the system destroys us. Sometimes I think we, as WOMEN, are treated worse than 3rd world countries..we have had it, and lost it.
So yes Millions to BS is more than I can handle.

Ok, I’m not usually a “conspiracy theorist” nut, but with all the “writings on the wall” so-to-speak, this is starting to become clear. Obama is up to something.
Anyway, sometimes I still go over to the swamp to see what they’re up to. I found this actually linked in one of the threads. I can’t believe they’ve let it stand so far.

NikkisMom 07.20.09 at 11:52 am
From the description:
The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery. We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Orders plans. Its not about Left or Right: its about a One World Government.
The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation. Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda. If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you. Watch the Obama Deception and learn how: * Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FEMA camps and Martial Law. *
Obamas handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force. * International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government. * Obama plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government. * The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The information contained in this film is vital to the future of the Republic and to freedom worldwide. President Barack Obama is only the tool of a larger agenda. Until all are made aware, humanity will remain captive to the masters of the New World Order. http://www.obamadeception.net http://www.prisonplanet.com

I didn’t catch up with the blog until after I arrived home last night, which accounts for my delayed comment.
