Obama finally accepts international assistance for Gulf spill
Cliff Thier
AP tells us "US accepts international assistance for Gulf spill

More than two months to get to "Yes."

But, we shouldn't get too excited. The Administration is just beginning to "work out the particulars." Who know when actual work will get started.

H.R. 5175: The bill requires that every time an organization runs a campaign ad, its CEO must appear in the ad and twice state his name and the organization's name. The top five funders of the organization behind the ad - even if they had nothing to do with the ad's funding - must also have their names listed in the ad.

Most 501(c)4, 501(c)5, 501(c)6, and 527 groups - would have to list all donors of $600 or more with the Federal Election Commission (FEC)

This is designed with ONE idea: Chip away at possible Conservative votes.

How low will the Democrats go? As low as necessary.

Further off topic posts will be deleted

Tuesday: Yes, you have a right to be childish and argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative, I suppose. It's not becoming though. It is time to get back to POLITICS. Thanks.

Tuesday: SO? I will continue to have whatever opinion I want to have, and I don't care if it is agreed upon by the "majority".

The issue is fixed, there is no need to continue complaining about it.

rod03801: I think there are those here that simply took an opportunity to make a non issue an issue. I agree that it is an offensive word. But that was the point. It was being argued that the Democrats racial past was just that, past. But that's not the case. Robert Byrd, who just passed away, used that "N" word in a recorded interview. This interview was RECENT.

LBJ said that he'd get the blacks to vote for democrats by giving them political favors/concessions etc. And when Blagojevich was considering what to do with the open Senate seat, he was recorded as saying that he should choose a black candidate as that would appease black voters. It's worth noting that Blagojevich is from the same political machine that Obama came out of.

Something about an apple not falling far from the tree comes to my mind.

While I PERSONALLY agree that the context DOES matter, and PERSONALLY I see nothing wrong with the way it was used here (as in a quote that what used to make a point in what is supposed to be an intelligent conversation), it IS a word that gets a good majority of people worked up, so it would be best left off of our public boards, for that reason.

Very poor run on sentence, but I'm not changing it!

Now that I've PROVEN that the democratic party not only has a long history of active racism in the US and the many of their policies are racially based, time to move on to other areas where the Democrats show their true stripes.

(V): You can think what you want.. it doesn't make it true.

Tuesday: We had a presenter that went mad on the BBC... he got sacked.

Artful Dodger: You can think what you want.. it doesn't make it true.

(V): You dodged the question once again. So you must have made that up (you are lying again).

And using the "Nword " IN CONTEXT hardly compares to going into a black neighborhood etc. You know I was quoting LBJ. But instead of dealing honestly with the point, you choose to go off in some stupid direction. Go alone.

Artful Dodger: Ok.. you go use the word in the heart of a black neighbourhood. If you are lucky.. you'll be arrested.

(V): That's laughable. Show your source with proper references or I say you are lying.

As for the "N" word, there was NO REASON to remove it other than to keep the wild bunch from getting their undies all in knots. Clearly the context matters.

I'm not here to coddle to your false sensitivities. What a joke.

Artful Dodger: wikipedia amongst others...

You forget not all of us are Americans.. not all of us are liberals. There are certain words that you don't use... or at the least *****

It's called respect.

Some people complained about my use of the "n" word when quoting that racist president LBJ. I find it interesting that they find it offensive that I would post that word, but that they are NOT offended by those who actually use that word. Instead, what we see here is the usual liberal approach when confronted with their own sinful history and despicable past - either change the subject, shoot the messenger, or simply make excuses.

This tactic well-defines those in on the liberal side of politics. They don't believe in personal accountability or personal responsibility. They make excuses, or obfuscate the facts.

Liberals would do well to recognize the serious flaws in their party, both its history and its present form. But they won't. They will continue to ignore facts or alter them, project their flaws onto others, make phony accusations, or tell outright lies. And if the past tells us anything, the liberals will go out of their way to vilify the opposition, all the while promoting policies that actually hurt those they claim to be helping. It's a sad state they are in and is only made worse because they can't see what's right before their very eyes. Blinded by ideology.

Beck is NUMBER 1 on a list of people who the liberals despise!!! Go Beck!

(V): Show us where you read that.

And when the civil rights bill was passed, I read that those who were racist moved to the Republican party.. A complete switch over.

Are there those in the Democratic party who are still racist... yes.. are there those in the Republican party who are racist.. yes. It's too close to the events of change for any party to say "we have eradicated racism from our ranks"..

Also.. It seems that as a recoil of the civil rights bill and other matters of the time the Republican element have done their best to blame everything on the federal government and when in power have scuppered federal depts in order to prove themselves right.

..... those on the far right need to understand that the destruction of the USA is not through socialism, but through their want of the USA as a country failing to prove themselves right. I find this a selfish attitude.

As the result of liberal historical revisionism, few Americans realize that Democrats ruled the segregated South until the 1960s. Democrats were the party of Jim Crow and Bull Connor. Senate Democrats, including former Ku Klux Klan recruiter Robert Byrd and Bill Clinton mentor William Fulbright and Al Gore, Sr. filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The stalemate was broken by Senate Republicans ensuring passage of the bill.

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking."

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook, man."

A Democrat

GTCharlie: Judge not lest ye be judged... I cant wait... hey St Peter what bout these 2!!!

Who was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' as he said privately."

??

A Democrat

point being..ignorance.. youth is no excuse.. being a 2 faced weasel liar isn't either.. yes ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd... I mean both of you

Tuesday: YES and did not get elected...get my point?

Tuesday: True.. but Byrd is still stained.. just like ted.. just like David Duke.. of course duke never made it to "KLEAGLE" OR KILLED anyone

GTCharlie: Exactly right. The left found Byrd useful and Byrd found changing his outward ways useful. The country was changing and if he wanted to survive politically, he'd have to change too. There is nothing noble about that.

Clearly, the Left would NOT whitewash this man's history if he were a Republican.

sickening?

Tuesday: He didn't come close to redeeming himself..it is sicking to suggest otherwise...whose next ? Goebbels?
