I crack me up.

Iamon lyme: However, due to devaluation, area 51 is now area 36. But because of inflation, it's up to area 75. The Feds spent 2.5 million on new signs. But they hired a dyslexic to make the signs and one reads aera 63 and the other aera 57. When the error was pointed out he said, "m'I yrros."

2) why would they place one on your property? It had to go potty.
3) who are "they"? They are: The Others.
4) where do I go to join the Wallstreet protest? you can register at http://www.lazymorons.com

(V): That's your opinion. But it's based only on your own narrow reality. In point of fact, the bloggers I read are well educated (some PhDs) and experts in their field. And you? You're just a voice on a game site.

(V): And that's only your opinion.

Euro-economies creaking to a halt
Rick Moran

It's like a slow motion train wreck as European economies are showing stagnation and a slowing pace of growth.

There are fears that the projected 0.2% growth for the quarter will actually slide into negative territory, heightening fears of another recession.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/10/euro-economies_creaking_to_a_halt.html

(V): Or since living outside the left/right divide in America your perspective is very limited. That'd get my vote.

(V): Most objections on the left that include any mention of race ARE using the race card. Easy to see unless you are blind.

(V): Only because you're easily confused.

'Occupy Wall Street' a nearly all white endeavor
Rick Moran




They call themselves the "99 percenters" - alluding to the supposed one percent of rich people who control the country.

But as Michelle Malkin points out to the Daily Caller, "When Occupy Wall Street activists call themselves the '99 percent,' it turns out they mean 99 percent non-diverse (by their own politically correct measurements)." Malkin notes that:


One thing you won't hear the MSM harp on the way they harped about the Tea Party: The overwhelmingly pale face of the "99 percent" movement. Just like their ideological elders in the liberal media, they are a lot more skilled at carping over lack of proportional representation among conservative institutions and the GOP than they are at demonstrating it in their own ranks.

From the DC article:


Though a few representatives of minority groups have appeared among the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters in New York City, photos and videos of the left-wing mini-throngs indicate they suffer from a serious lack of diversity. And the protesters themselves told The Daily Caller on Tuesday that they are conscious of the issue, if not the inconsistency it demonstrates. A 40-photo Washington Post slideshow showing hundreds of angry protesters in New York and other cities includes no more than 15 clearly identifiable minority protesters, and just six African-Americans. The rest of the protesters shown are white, and most are male. In 26 photos from San Francisco and Chicago gatherings posted on OccupyTogether.org, only one person from a minority group is clearly visible, and it's unclear whether he is a protester or a bystander. Minority groups are similarly underrepresented in photos and videos posted on OccupyWallSt.org, the self-described "unofficial de facto online resource for the ongoing protests happening on Wall Street."

Buehler? Buehler? Anyone?

Dwight D. Eisenhower




The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.

Ronald Reagan

Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.

And….

There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so important, as living within your means.

Calvin Coolidge




Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

George S. Patton

The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.

Mark Twain

I think these ideals are much more representative of American ideals rather than Obama’s ‘shared sacrifice’ nonsense.

-- The Left is prone to hysteria.
-- The Left believes that if The New York Times and other liberal news sources report something, it is true.
-- The Left believes in experts. Of course, every rational person, liberal or conservative, trusts the expertise of experts -- such as when experts in biology explain the workings of mitochondria, or when experts in astronomy describe the moons of Jupiter. But for liberals, "expert" has come to mean far more than greater knowledge in a given area. It now means two additional things: One is that non-experts should defer to experts not only on matters of knowledge, but on matters of policy, as well. The second is that experts possess greater wisdom about life, not merely greater knowledge in their area of expertise.

-- People who don't confront the greatest evils will confront far lesser ones. Most humans know the world is morally disordered -- and socially conscious humans therefore try to fight what they deem to be most responsible for that disorder. The Right tends to fight human evil such as communism and Islamic totalitarianism. The Left avoids confronting such evils and concentrates its attention instead on socioeconomic inequality, environmental problems and capitalism.
-- The Left is far more likely to revere, even worship, nature. A threat to the environment is regarded by many on the Left as a threat to what is most sacred to them, and therefore deemed to be the greatest threat humanity faces.

-- Leftists tend to fear dying more. That is one reason they are more exercised about our waging war against evil than about the evils committed by those we fight.

Huge 'Green Jobs' Loan given to Pelosi brother-in-law's company
Rick Moran




Apparently, the only kind of "green" that really matters to the Obama administration is the folding kind.

Mark Hemingway at the Weekly Standard blog:


Despite the growing Solyndra scandal, yesterday the Department of Energy approved $1 billion in new loans to green energy companies -- including a $737 million loan guarantee to a company known as SolarReserve:

[...]

On SolarReserve's website is a list of "investment partners," including the "PCG Clean Energy & Technology Fund (East) LLC." As blogger American Glob quickly discovered, PCG's number two is none other than "Ronald Pelosi, a San Francisco political insider and financial industry polymath who happens to be the brother-in-law of Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives."

Gun crime continues to decrease, despite increase in gun sales

Despite increases in gun sales, gun crimes continued to decrease in the United States for the fourth straight year in 2010, according to the FBI.

The FBI recently released its Crime in The United States statistics for 2010. Overall, murders in the U.S. have decreased steadily since 2006, dropping from 15,087 to 12,996. Firearms murders — which made up 67 percent of all murders in the U.S. in 2010 — have followed this trend, decreasing by 14 percent.

At the same time that firearms murders were dropping, gun sales were surging. In 2009, FBI background checks for guns increased by 30 percent over the previous year, while firearms sales in large retail outlets increased by almost 40 percent. The number of applications for concealed carry permits jumped across the country as well.

“There was a huge spike,” NRA spokesperson Rachel Parsons said. “It’s probably mellowed out and gone back to normal now.”

Hillary's Turnabout on Jerusalem

In a stunning reversal, Hillary Clinton has done a 180 on her position on Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, contradicting the position she took when she was New York's junior senator, and needed Jewish votes.

ustica tnp: Someone called you a racist?

(V): The point of the post was Obama's choice of the word "Jew" Very telling. He's an anti-Semite as well as a racist.

Obama's Freudian Slip

"If...if asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a jew...uh...as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honour."

This is our great orator? Does he even know what he just said? Forgetting the glaring Freudian slip for a moment, does anyone here think a billionaire would NOT want to pay the same tax rate as a Jew janitor? Last time I check, billionaires pay a much higher rate than most in the working class.

rod03801: Yes, a REAL fiscal conservative!!!

rod03801: At this point, Animal, the muppet, could lead better than Obama.

rod03801: It's so funny how they spin anything to protect the ONE. It's laughable. Obama is an incompetent moron. History will prove that.

(V): What an old and lame excuse. All presidents inherit something. But the CURRENT mess is OBAMA'S OWN making. We're far more in debt because of his policies, have far more unemployment after three years with this moron, he's thrown tons of money away on failed enterprises, and now he wants MORE of the same. NO. You're wrong here. The current mess is ALL OBAMA. And it's time for libs like yourself to be honest about that FACT.

Warmists have new excuse
James Lewis




Oh, ye of little faith! Do you doubt Global Warming? Just because world temps haven't followed the computer models for, ummm, a decade or so?

Rejoice! There is an answer. It comes to us courtesy of Reuters, the official home of Eurosocialist superstitions.

Like the eurozone, which is also breaking down. Global warming and other euro fantasies going down at the same time? Could this be a coincidence?


"Reuters, New York - The mystery of Earth's missing heat may have been solved: it could lurk deep in oceans, temporarily masking the climate-warming effects of greenhouse gas emissions, researchers reported on Sunday.

Climate scientists have long wondered where this so-called missing heat was going ... The world temperature should have risen more than it did, scientists at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research reckoned. ... They knew greenhouse gas emissions were rising ... and yet temperatures were not going up as much as projected"

And so the heat got together and said, "Let's play a trick on the humans and hide on the bottom of the ocean!"

(V): May as well. He's screwed up everything else in the world.

Misogynist-in-Chief
M Catharine Evans




According to high level women at the White House, President Obama fits the definition of a male chauvinist pig. Who would have believed it? Too bad liberal feminist voters looked the other way when candidate Obama told a female reporter "hold on sweetie" or when a watchdog group revealed the Senator paid his male staffers more than female employees working in comparable positions. What about when he objectified Sarah Palin in campaign ads?

Now according to his book, Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and The Education of A President, scheduled for release on September 20 journalist, Ron Suskind tells what it's like for women in the Obama White House. I guess electing the most pro-abortion President doesn't make up for being treated like Palin and Clinton in 2008.

One of Suskind's unnamed sources, a "top female official" stated the discrimination was everywhere even in the Oval Office.


"The president has a real woman problem. The idea of the boys' club being just Larry and Rahm isn't fair," she told Suskind, referring to former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Larry Summers, former chairman of the National Economic Council. Obama "was just as responsible himself."

Former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn suggested the commander-in-chief as well as his male advisers may have violated federal laws.


This place would be in court for a hostile workplace...Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.

Christine Romer, former head of the Council of Economic Advisers, found out the hard way Larry Summers, another Obama economics adviser, still harbored the belief "that innate differences between men and women might be one of the reasons women lag behind in science and math career."


"I felt like a piece of meat," Christina Romer...said of one meeting in which Suskind writes she was "boxed out" by Summers.

Oh my. Ms. Romer's indignation brings to mind a controversial cult-like propaganda piece published by none other than Gloria Steinem. Remember Ms. Magazine's 2009 inaugural issue with the One in superman pose? On his chest was the statement "This is what a feminist looks like." Exactly right, Gloria.

(V): I didn't forget that. It's not germaine to the point. Obama is president and you seem to be forgetting that fact.

Worse than Solyndra
Thomas Lifson




Add the name LightSquared to your crony capitalism watch list. The story emerging has elements even worse than the squandering of half a billion dollars on an Obama bundler's venture.

Brendan Sasso of The Hill reports:


LightSquared plans to provide high-speed wholesale wireless service nationwide through a network of satellites and land-based cell towers, but tests earlier this year revealed it interferes with GPS devices, including those used by the military.

One of the major investors in LightSquared is prominent Democratic donor, Philip Falcone.

The Daily Beast reported Thursday that the White House asked Air Force Gen. William Shelton to alter his planned remarks to lawmakers and their staff in a secured briefing about LightSquared.

According to the report, Shelton was pressured to change his testimony to show he supported the White House's policy to expand wireless broadband access and that the Pentagon would try to resolve the GPS interference issues with more testing within 90 days.

The Center for Public Integrity reported Wednesday that LightSquared sent emails to White House aides, at times mentioning its fundraising for Democrats and President Obama.

"We cannot afford to have federal telecommunication policy, especially where it affects national security, to be made in the same way this White House has parceled out a half billion dollars in loan guarantees to the failed Solyndra Corporation, a large political campaign contributor of the president," Turner said, referring to the bankrupt solar firm that received government loans.

From Carville no less:

"CNN:


People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.

We are far past sending out talking points. Do not attempt to dumb it down. We cannot stand any more explanations. Have you talked to any Democratic senators lately? I have. It's pretty damn clear they are not happy campers.

This is what I would say to President Barack Obama: The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.

I don't know how else to break this down. Simply put:

1. Fire somebody. No -- fire a lot of people. This may be news to you but this is not going well. For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad. There were enough deaths at Stalingrad to make the entire tea party collectively orgasm.

Mr. President, your hinge of fate must turn. Bill Clinton fired many people in 1994 and took a lot of heat for it. Reagan fired most of his campaign staff in 1980. Republicans historically fired their own speaker, Newt Gingrich. Bush fired Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. For God's sake, why are we still looking at the same political and economic advisers that got us into this mess? It's not working."

Weiner's NY District elects Republican Turner in special election (updated)
Thomas Lifson

It is time for Democrats across the United States to panic, as a Congressional district that has not elected a Republican in almost 90 years handed an easy victory to the GOP candidate. The victor Bob Turner cast his effort as a referendum on President Obama, a chance to send a message to Washington. As the Washington Post put it, "President Obama suffered a sharp rebuke Tuesday when voters in New York elected a conservative Republican to represent a Democratic district that has not been in GOP hands since the 1920.

(V): We all know how you love Fox. Like the last time your brought this very subject up.

(V): So was Cenk Uygur lying when he called Brietbart a liar?

BTW, that's very OLD news and clearly you cherry picked that one just for me.

Unlike you, I watch Fox and get the full context of what's being said. Uygur is so slanted left he loves to take things out of context if he can make Fox look bad (even to the point of lying - which he does all the time).

Nice try tho Jules!

(V): I remember that "controversy" well and it didn't happen that way. Clever editing by the Turk tho.

Iamon lyme: I was a die hard lib in my 20's. By the time I was thirty, I matured and whatdoyaknow? I saw through the lies. I was an asst VP in the CWA and that really opened my eyes.

Iamon lyme: If one asks the right questions, they wouldn't be able to remain a liberal. But they don't ask those questions and they march only to one beat. They are like lemmings. (apologies to lemmings).

Iamon lyme: Have you ever listened to Cenk Uygur? He actually makes sense when he supports conservative ideas. But when he leans left, he falls on his fat face!
