Flooding, Failed Infrastructure + Joblessness

Proof that we don't need the big, evil, Socialist government raising taxes on millionaires to invest in infrastructure jobs. Sounds like a no brainer to me...Spend millions on evacuation and clean up whilst shutting down all economic activity in these areas, lose the power generated from these nuclear plants or hire a bunch of people that will stimulate the economy and save property, lives, to build levees and rebuild dams, rivers,etc. Which would you rather do? They both cost money but one helps the economy and people, the other doesn't. One could be paid for by taxing rich people.

And it's also proof that the climate isn't changing at all...This is completely normal...For Noah.

What He Said

my-take-bible-condemns-a-lot-so-why-focus-on-homosexuality

What he says is what I have been saying since forever ago. Jesus never addresses homosexuality and when it is condemned in the Old Testament, it's on the same page where it also condemns eating shellfish and having sex with your wife on her period. And then of course the only place it is addressed in the New Testament, by Paul, not Jesus, it only condemns male homosexuality and then in the same breath condemns short hair on Women and long hair on Men. And as he states, in many places in the Bible divorce is condemned by several people including Jesus yet the Bible belt, which is the most homophobic part of the country, leads the nation in divorce rates. So, there is a lot of hypocrisy out there.

“Barack Obama has failed America"

“Barack Obama has failed America”

That's what Mitt Romney said in a recent debate. He said so referring mainly to the economy because you know, the two wars Bush started which drive up oil prices and the uprising in the Middle East also, driving up oil prices, is all Barack Obama's fault. Unemployment was up again slightly for the month and so after 2 1/2 years in office, apparently everything that is wrong with America is the result of Obama's actions.

Here is why I can't wait for one of those Youtube debates again or one where citizens get to make of the questions because what I would ask Romney and each of the other candidates would be what specific policy or piece of legislation has Obama signed resulted in a failure that has ruined America...The only sound you will hear will be crickets.

Again, the debt, deficit, wars, were all inherited by Obama as was a much worse economy than what we have today. I certainly don't want to go back to Oct 08-Jan 09 which was a result of 8 years of a Republican President and years of Republican Presidents and Republican Congresses (yes I realize Clinton signed a lot of those bills) deregulating the financial and housing markets and encouraging jobs to be sent over seas while irresponsibly lowering taxes and lowering them on the rich more than anyone else which has had the exact opposite affect they said it would have. As it turns out tax cuts don't pay for themselves and when you cut taxes on rich people, they don't go out on a hiring spree, they get greedier and send your jobs to China and then have more money to hire fancy accountants to find more tax loopholes.

So Republicans, what specific policies has Obama instituted and what has been their dire and drastic effects that have failed America?

Here is the way I see it, at the end of 2000 before Bush took office the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 10,787. At the end of his term at the end of 2008, it was down to 8776. Today it is around 12000.

Housing starts in December of 2008 were at 549,000, in May they were at 612,000. Not great, but better than where Bush and the Republicans got us.

These numbers don't tell the entire story but I feel if McCain and Ms. Dumb Dumb and the Republicans were still in charge, continuing their policies of letting the banks and auto companies fall whilst lowering taxes on rich people and expanding the debt and starting more wars, we would be in the midst of a depression.

Historical ignorance isn't a problem if you just rewrite history

This is not the first time you have heard about this I am sure but Palin fans are taking a page from the Texas School board to literally rewrite history to fit their conservative and or ignorant (often synonymous) view of history.

http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-national/sarah-palin-followers-trying-to-change-the-paul-revere-wikipedia-page



"What are you taking away from your visit?" GOTCHA!!

She has to be the dumbest person ever to run for President.

Romney Lies

Well, Joseph Smith wouldn't be too proud of Mitt Romney right now for lying...I though lies made the baby Jesus cry??

Yes Romney, in his first campaign speech, said the economy was worse now that when Obama took office...Which everyone, even Sarah Palin knows, isn't even remotely true. The fact is, that after 8 years of a Republican President, mostly under a Republican controlled Congress, our economy hadn't been worse in over 75 years. Obama is the one who took us out of that and we are now on the road to recovery. The economy is ADDING jobs (slowly) not losing them like in 08.

The other lie he said was this, "A few months into office, he (Obama) traveled around the globe to apologize for America." Though we probably should apologize to many peoples of the Earth, especially Iraq, this did not happen. Obama did talk about how he wasn't going to be like his predecessor who invaded countries for no cause, gave up on Bin Laden, crashed the economy and tortured people. Bush is the one who should be apologizing, not Obama.

He also said foreclosures are at a record level which is false. As is Romney's lie that Obama has raised taxes on entrepreneurs and businesses which can't even be denied even in a Republican fantasy land...He didn't even get to raise taxes on the rich like he wanted to...I wish I could say that he did but that has not happened.

These are the first words out of his mouth from his new campaign and it's pretty much all bullshit. Is this someone you can trust?

Just tell the truth! What are you afraid of Romney?

Chrysler Just Paid Back Their Government Loans...Guess Who Was Against Those Loans?

Chrysler Pays Back Rescue Loan



Come to think of it, have Republican's gotten anything right lately?? Irag? Bin Laden? WMDs? Tax Cuts paying for themselves? Outsourcing is good?

Mitch Daniels Must be Gay

Mitch Daniels, Governor of Indiana and once Presidential hopeful has just announced that he will not be running for President. He says that he has talked it over with his family and they don't want him to run....Which in Republican language is code for someone has photos of me smoking cock.

Is this his families first day on the planet?? He has been rumored as a Presidential hopeful for almost 2 years now. Don't you think maybe the, "Hey Dad, I heard in the news that you might run for President" conversation would have come up before now? Clearly something else is at play here. Let's vote on the most likely scenario.

He is a Republican so him wanting to stay out of the lime light means one or several of the following:

A. His gay lover is blackmailing him in exchange for meth and if he runs his cover is blown
B. He has a secret baby with a minority of some sort and or an immigrant who may or may not be legal
C. His call girl and or favorite stripper plans on coming forward, writing a book and becoming a reality star if he decides to run for President
D. Is afraid all his Eyes Wide Shut orgies with Dan Burton (Indiana 5th district) will be exposed
E. Just isn't crazy enough to get the End of the World Jesus voters and could never compete on that level with the Bachmann's and Palin's of the world and therefore wouldn't be able to secure all the Pro-Life, Gun and Oil money

My vote is for A.

Oh and if you think Common visiting the Whitehouse was a bad thing, you are an idiot. Here is a follow up of my last post:
The Daily Show

And while we are off topic, Netanyahu is an idiot...He recently claimed that Israel's 1967 border was indefensible and therefore Israel would never relinquish control over some of those areas...The problem with that statement is that they clearly proved in the 1967 war that those borders are indeed defensible or they wouldn't have been able to conquer the lands beyond those borders...IN 6 DAYS mind you, and the Jewish state would not exist...What a moron...And a Zionist thug. He's is just as responsible for derailing the peace process as Hamas, neither feels the other has the right to exist...And also, the shit he says about Jewish ancestral homelands is bullshit too. Prior to the 20th century with the exception of small sections of Jerusalem and other isolated areas, Jews hadn't lived in Palestine since about the 2nd Century AD. In 1850 for instance, Jews made up about 4% of the population of Palestine. How much ancestral homeland could they possible have when there hasn't been a significant population there (aside from the last 100 years) in the last 1800 years?

John Stewart 1, Bill O'Reilly 0



Brilliant! Is O'Reilly just grasping at straws here?

And the question is, what is the difference between the people John Stewart mentioned and Common?? Hmm, one of these doesn't look like the other...The same with our President. Hence, phony outrage.

Big Surprise, Alaskan's Don't Want Oil Subsidies Cut and Neither do Republicans

Alaska Sen. Begich stands firm on oil industry subsidies

Begich, Murkowski oppose linking deficit, oil 'subsidies'

House GOP Blocks Vote On Oil Subsidies



"But both she and Begich say that the oil and gas industry has been singled out"
. Murkowski Spokesman Robert Dillon said: "But to single out a particular industry and make it the boogeyman is counter-productive."

Now you know how Planned Parenthood and NPR feels. It doesn't seem like they like it when the tables are turned...Now you know who is really for reducing the deficit and hand-outs from the federal government and who just has a political agenda...If you think Republican's are serious about reducing government expenditures, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

NPR receives about 1 million per year in direct federal funding and Planned Parenthood receives about $360 million per year VS. the $2 Billion big oil receives in federal subsidies and tax breaks.

Yes, I realize Begich is a Democrat.

Big lesson here: Republican's are supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility and strong on defense yet they are the ones responsible for most of our deficit and mainly because they are weak/wrong/incompetent on defense...My question to Republicans come 2012 is, why exactly are you voting for them when it's obvious they are really bad at the two things they are supposed to be good at?? I mean, I am sure they still love Jesus and guns but other than that...Contrary to popular belief, you can't really run a country on Jesus and guns...Especially since Jesus doesn't exist.

Kids (most) Get It, Why Can't Adults?

This is a pretty good video by Nickelodeon. It's amazing how many kids understand what few adults can...Of course, there is also the kids who you can tell their parents are influencing them to pretend that America is a "Christian nation" but still...And these kids are too young to know that the "God" part of the pledge of allegiance and "God"; being printed on our currency is a relatively new thing that was added to our Pledge and currency during the 50's and technically, still unconstitutional. And if majority rules, why is it illegal to refuse service to black people in the south? At one point, the majority supported segregation but that clearly didn't make it right or constitutional.

And you have to feel sorry for the free thinkers in places like rural Virgina and Alabama....Or the Muslims in Tennessee and of course the irony of the violence against that Tennessee mosque, which the Christians there are calling violent.

And then of course there is the irony of all the Christians and how big of a boner they get for the 10 Commandments when they clearly use/worship a cross when the the 2nd Commandment clearly tells them not to use such images, they worship not only God but Jesus and the Holy Ghost (and even Mary) when the 1st Commandment clearly states they are only to worship God and then they go to church on Sundays which goes against what the 4th Commandment instructs them to do when it says they need to worship on the 7th day of the week, not the first. And then of course there is the fact that only 2 of the commandments are something in our common law you can go to jail for breaking and those actually originated not from Moses, but from Hammurabi of Babylon 300 years before the 10 Commandments were even written.




If you think the US is a Christian nation, you are an idiot.

Treaty of Tripoli Article 11:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Ratified by the senate and 2nd president John Adams in 1797

And why is that relevant?

According to Article 6 of the US Constitution:

Clause 2: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. "


Not to mention that 16% of the US is now, Non-Religious...That's a larger group of people than Blacks, Gays, Jews, Muslims and Asians and roughly equal to the amount of Hispanics who live in this country.

For Those Who Don't Understand the Evolution of Our Universe



And if you are wondering where the matter for the explosion came from, it came from the same place you think god came from. So if god could have come from nothing, so could have the earliest matter in the universe...In fact, it's more likely that something simple came before something as complex and perfect as god.
