I guess when you are a terrorist, anyone who hasn't blown things up for the cause is a moderate. | ||

More 'moderate' ideas.... This from the chump that is Reforming the NSA... 'If government could not intervene effectively, none of the individual rights to which Americans have become accustomed could be reliably protected. [...] This is why the overused distinction between "negative" and "positive" rights makes little sense. Rights to private property, freedom of speech, immunity from police abuse, contractual liberty and free exercise of religion – just as much as rights to Social Security, Medicare and food stamps – are taxpayer-funded and government-managed social services designed to improve collective and individual well-being.' Cass Sunstein. Enjoy the show (no - he wasn't a friend of liberty under Bush either; see - I can be bipartisan ,,/,. ) | ||

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/08/business/us-econ omy-adds-113000-jobs-unemployment-rate-at-6-6.html ?_r=0 The government said on Friday that employers added 113,000 jobs in January, the second straight month of anemic growth, despite some signs of strength in the broader economy. The unemployment rate inched down in January to 6.6 percent, the lowest level since October 2008, from 6.7 percent in December. So, Unemployment UP again. ( yes, I know what it "says" above, but that's the fact ) The Unemployment rate is now second only to Obama's "personal approval rating" for most useless made up statistic on the news programs. for those who forgot, or never knew, you need 200-250 thousand new jobs every month or you are losing jobs. New births, graduations, and legal immigration need that much job growth each month or you are going backwards. The unemployment "rate" is based on the premise that once you are no longer on unemployment, you just don't count. In so many ways. http://www.infowars.com/tsa-agents-interrogate-jew ish-author-for-reading-conservative-newspaper/ Papers Please.

Republicans eventually woke up and saw Nixon for the criminal that he was. When will the Democrats wake up about the current administration? When?  | ||

"My God it's worse than imagined. There is no difference between two sides of the aisle on this one. Why didn't they raise the ceiling to $20T or $50T while they're at it? Why not eliminate the debt ceiling entirely? This is a joke. Totally irresponsible. A runaway government out of control" "Great. Fantastic. Now not only have they debt-enslaved us and all of our unborn children but they're gearing up to do the same to the unborn children of our children as well? Wow... Just wow" I have nothing more to add..  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cSRIULHFCg | ||

Frankly, this is no different from all the other times it has been raised. If it is just raised every time we get near it, it is meaningless. Sort of like when your 16 YO daughter misses her 2:30 AM curfew and you extend it to 3:00 AM. Although, the congress critters should have heeded/obeyed this senator's words,"Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grand children. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit." http://www.fraterslibertas.com/2013/10/the-next-be st-thing-to-being-there.html | ||

I've said it many times, it's become a choice of picking the guy who will have you go broke on Thursday vs. the guy who will have you go broke on Friday. The difference is insubstantial. It's time to reset our leadership. | ||

The optimistic side is that the Clean Debt Ceiling Bill is a smart move of the Republicans as it deprives the Progressives/Democrats of any issue against the Republicans for the 2014 midterm election. Republicans only control 1/6 of the Federal Government and essentially are powerless to stop those who are attempting to turn America into a Socialist Paradise. Only by regaining the Senate, can Obama be forced to negotiate and there is a chance of the restoration of fiscal responsibility. The pessimistic side says that the Republicans are terrified and have wet their britches. Essentially Democrats and Republican are on the side of an ever increasing growing Federal Government that is usurping the People's power and the US Constitution. I lean towards the optimistic side but I do not trust the Republicans. Only Conservatism can save the United States. Period. (Message edited by reindog on February 12, 2014) | ||

This is why the Republicans have to regain the Senate in the midterms. The Supreme Court will then judge that Obama has exceeded his Constitutional powers.  | ||

It is an "interesting" personality that would support this lawlessness. Once this precedence is set, the rule of law will be ignored by all sides and the Constitution of the United States of America will become a worthless scrap of paper.  | ||

An Orwellian Nation of Obamathink By Victor Davis Hanson · Feb. 13, 2014 The nightmare societies portrayed in the George Orwell novels “1984” and “Animal Farm” gave us the word “Orwellian.” That adjective reflects a vast government's efforts not just to deceive and control the people, but also to do so by reinventing the meaning of ordinary words while rewriting the past itself. America, of all places, is becoming Orwellian. The president repeatedly reminds the American people that under his leadership, the U.S. has produced a record level of new oil and natural gas. But didn't Obama radically curtail leases for just such new energy production on federal lands? Have the edicts on the barn wall of “Animal Farm” been changed again, with the production of new oil and gas going from bad to suddenly good? Does anyone remember that the Affordable Care Act was sold on the premise that it would guarantee retention of existing health plans and doctors, create 4 million new jobs and save families $2,500 a year in premiums, all while extending expanded coverage to more people at a lower cost? Only in Orwell's world of doublespeak could raising taxes, while the costs of millions of health plans soars, be called “affordable.” Is losing your existing plan and doctor a way of retaining them? The Congressional Budget Office recently warned that Obamacare would “keep hours worked and potential output during the next 10 years lower than they would be otherwise.” That nonpartisan verdict should be bad news for workers. Not in our brave new world. The Obama administration says it is pleased that workers will now be freed from “job lock.” What is job lock – a made-up Newspeak word right out “1984”? Work fewer hours, make less money and create fewer outputs – and be happy. About every January since 2009, the president has promised to close Guantanamo Bay. Is the detention facility now sort of virtually closed – in the manner that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his chemical weapons are now virtually gone, as Obama decreed years ago, and in the manner that we are still hunting down the murderers in Benghazi who were supposedly outraged over a video? Is there an Orwellian “memory hole” where these embarrassing proclamations are disposed? In 2004, many in the media reported that George W. Bush, the demonized Emmanuel Goldstein of our era, had overseen a “jobless recovery.” Unemployment at election time in 2004 was 5.4 percent. Yet since January 2009, only two months have seen joblessness dip slightly below 7 percent. A record 90 million able-bodied Americans are not participating in the workforce. Yet the president, in Orwellian doublespeak fashion, recently claimed that the job picture is good. If 5.4 percent unemployment was once called a jobless recovery, are we now in a jobless recovery from a jobless recovery? In 2013, the IRS confessed that it had targeted particular political groups based on their names or political themes – a Big Brother intrusion into private lives that was revealed at about the same time the Associated Press and National Security Agency eavesdropping scandals came to light. During the initial media frenzy, President Obama blasted the politicization of the IRS as “outrageous.” After the IRS was confirmed to be delaying the tax-exempt requests of conservative groups at a far greater rate than their liberal counterparts, the agency's director, Douglas Shulman, stepped down at the end of his term. His replacement, acting commissioner Steven Miller, subsequently resigned from the agency. And the IRS official in charge of tax-exempt decisions, Lois Lerner, invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before Congress. She and Joseph H. Grant, commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, both abruptly retired from the IRS. Congressional committees and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that groups loosely associated with the Tea Party were more likely to have their tax-exempt requests put on hold than other nonprofits. Yet recently, President Obama concluded of this entire mess that it did not entail “even a smidgen of corruption.” It takes Orwell's doublethink to explain how a scandal might have rated an “outrageous” before the people in charge quit, retired or invoked the Fifth Amendment, and then, after their embarrassing departures, was reinvented as an episode without a smidgen of corruption. In politics, of course, left and right, conservative and liberal, make up stuff. But Orwell, who also blasted the rise of European fascism, focused more on the mind games of the statist Left. Why? He apparently feared that the Left suffered an additional wage of hypocrisy in more openly proclaiming the noble interests of “the people.” Because of those supposedly exalted ends of equality and fairness, statists were more likely to get a pass from the media and public for the scary means they employed to achieve them. Right now in America, the words and deeds of both past and present become reality only when the leaders put them in the correct service of the people. source: http://patriotpost.us/opinion/23323 | ||

This really puts my dad's generation into perspective.. "During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced; 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks. We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany. It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site." | ||

When the pendulum swings, will you be outraged when the precedence that has been set, targets Democrats? I will be on YOUR side to fight it when that happens. Why are YOU not joining Conservatives in fighting this now? This should be one area that WE can all agree on as this is lawlessness plain and simple.  |
