  • It’s easy enough to get caught up in the passion of it all in these times, with all that the leftists, statists, progressives, and willing ignorant toadies usurping liberty, defying common sense, lying, etc. Ignorance, hypocrisy, self interest, and outright evil are easy to find these days, and it can and does bring the righteous rage to the hearts of good people. So now what? Give in to the rage? Stop caring about accuracy? Get so depressed and cynical that you retreat in a downward spiral until it’s every man for himself? If so, it’s already over because the opposition is organized. So let’s keep a big enough tent for different ideas, can we please?

    Everyone has their own assessment. My own is that Alex is passionate and patriotic. Sometimes right, but often wrong. I can not use him as a reference, as the risk is too great to hurt my own credibility…not with leftists, who will dismiss me anyway. But with facts and reason. Does the left want more power? Yes. Do they want to game the system so as to ensure they limit freedom to choose opposing options? Yes. Is the press in the bag for the Progressives? Obviously. Does this administration want higher taxes, fewer guns, less oil, fewer profits, more welfare, more redistribution? Yes across the board.

    But not all theories are created equal. FEMA camps, and flouridated water, and 9/11 being an inside job are just the tip of the iceberg. And the screaming… He just comes off as not balanced, to me. No offens

  • Amazing…. just another universalist approach to everything. A spritual stimulus program. A church, of all things, is supposed to be close to its congregation. A church is supposed to actually be in the lives of its congregants, and be close enough to know who needs what and how much, and when. A mass distribution of $100 dollar bills is just like the mass distribution of anything else of value given freely. You haven’t done any discernment between the needy and the greedy, the good and bad stewards….what you’ve done is outsourced your responsibility to get involved with your congregation, and taken a cookie-cutter approach…. probably because the money came from an external source to the church, and therefore is valued less than money earned or money under proper stewardship. I would respect this a whole lot more if it were part of an internal missions or helps program, where actual due diligence, discernment, and involvement occurred…… but then it wouldn’t get headlines, would it? All that said, I commend the idea of giving at the holiday times to those in need, and I can see how the invitation of Jesus to all (to the wastrels and to the miserly) might be seen as an allegory for doing it this way, so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt on good intentions, but the difference is they are already a church, hopefully providing the TRULY universalist message of Jesus Christ (please no comments about universal salvation, not saying that).

  • This, quite simply, is how nations commit suicide. Invite unrest. Invite invasion. Punish the defenders. Suicide.

  • These Are the Ten Poorest States in the Union

    Can I please see this recalculated, after dividing the amount of debt each state has by the number of employed citizens. I’ll bet good money these float skyward.

  • Let’s explore the fundaments of this argument, and the one made by Carney and others earlier.

    -Joe loses his job which had paid him $30,000 a year (conservatively)
    -Joe files for, and gets unemployment benefits @ 60% of his pay for 52 weeks (conservatively)
    -Joe’s net change of income is a loss of 12,000 to $18,000
    -Let’s say even that Joe gets food stamps, too
    -Assume Joe buys less food because he knows he’s got less disposable food money
    -Let’s even grant that Joe’s food stamp supplement amounts to say, a $3,000 value
    -3K + 18K = $21,000 out of Joe’s prior $30,000 income

    Assume fixed utilities and rent are inelastic, you still have 30% less of this person’s money in motion in the economy. How does a net drop of 30% of disposable income stimulate new jobs? It doesn’t.

    The only way they can say this is NEW money that stimulates is if they ignore the precipitating event that led to the eligibility for it (the job loss). It’s not a gain. It’s a mitigation….a reduced loss. More government accounting like how “cuts” are just cuts in growth. Idiocy.

  • If this is not treason or at least sedition, then we should remove those words from our law books. Juxtapose this video with the oath she took as a member of the US Congress. There is no truth in her.

  • The truth is mostly out. The sides are chosen, and the lines are drawn. Weiner will stay unless he sexted an underage girl… somehow this is the lower bar that Pelosi will not accept. In the meantime, the ONLY points of continuing this story in the MSM are a) for the sheer salaciousness of it to satisfy the interests of their prurient audiences, and b) to take heat off of Obama for his complete and utter failures, while he ties off the next anchor to sink America to the bottom of the sea. Move on, for heaven’s sake. Eye on the ball, people. Be well all.

  • Yes, back to sleep everyone. Just rest. The government is here. We’ll take care of everything for you. No, no. It’s not poison. Just drink it in… a little more. That’s it. Nice deep breaths, now. Remain calm and productive. Shhhhhhh. Rest now. Lie down. That’s good. So good. Don’t bother raising your children. It’s so hard to do that these days. Let us do it for you. Isn’t that better? Now you can rest more. Relax, rest. Nothing to fear. We’re in charge….. sleeeep. Caaaaalm…. sleeep.

  • a) Who believes that this will not misinterpret a myriad of other human conditions as “malintent”?
    b) Who believes that this will not lead to placing “malintent” people on lists, irrespective of proof of any wrongdoing?
    c) Who believes that this technology will make us even one bit safer?
    d) This technology couples the massive political and legal power of a government with the interpretation of results by a select few scanner operators, doctors and software engineers. Who believes that this doesn’t lead to incarceration, loss of career, loss of security status, loss of social standing, family, and ultimately loss of even life for people whose only ‘crime’ is to be a political opponent to someone in power?

    This is a weapon against the innocent. Plain and simple.

  • In essence, the judge rewards the idea that you can flee your state to avoid a vote which won’t go your way, and the majority—lacking a quorum– is utterly helpless to due it’s democratically elected duty. Judges of the law who implicitly or explicitly sabotage the laws and constitutional process they swore an oath to defend and uphold deserve an ouster.
