Liberal activist stabs Muslim.
Nowadays I just laugh when people insist that the NYT is an objective, non-biased source. It's not worth the time it would take to correct such people. Treat them the same way you'd treat a moon landing conspiracy theorist.
Very little good can come from joking about your leader dying.
He should have joked about her teats.
Recently, Nina Easton kept referring to former Texas House Rep. Martin Frost as a moderate Dem. Confuded by that description, I looked up his voting record and he was like above 90% per NARAL, the ACLU and a bunch of other far left rankings.
Mad Man:
Unless it actually happens like in Hitler's case.
In all fairness the Congressman calls himself a conservative, though conservatives might not want to call him a Congressman.
Here is his ad

local values or runnin scared?
C4 is hurt you'd say that AJ Lynch.....
Check out the "Drudgedy"...
1) Pelosi might die in the next year (pic of polosi looking scared)
2) Below left, there is a stage set up for Glen Beck...but it looks like the hangmen are getting ready for those on capitol hill
3) Dark, masked men look on from the right
The NYT was guilty chiefly of going with the flow -- the 1250 hits google gives for "Conservative Democrat Jokes That Pelosi Might Die" indicates that the headline came from the AP.

My guess is local values. I think liberal and conservative are pretty relative to where you live in the US. My guess a liberal in Alabama would be considered a reich wing jackbooted conservative in Pelosi's district.
Rep. Bobby Bright? Pretty dim for a Dem!
Personally, I don't wish any harm to Speaker Pelosi, I just want to see her lose her leadership position, since seeing her actually defeated at the polls is regrettably unlikely.
No! The continuous Botox drip will prevent that.
Heck, she already looks like Meryl Streep did at the end of Death Becomes Her.
I'm pretty sure the style book says conservatism is the root of all evil.

Depends on his preference for chaps.
We have a lefty socialist priest at our local church.
Most of the time I can stomach his moronic tirades against people who oppose illegal immigration and national health care.
Barely.
And only because I bring something to read during it.
But last week, he launched his sermon with "I was on vacation last week...(meaningful pause)...
And relished being able to read through the New York Times...(meaningful pause)...
The Sunday paper......(meaningful pause)...
Every article......(meaningful pause)...
And so I walked out, my forehead veins nearly bursting. Like that scene in the movie Pi, I wanted to insert a power drill into my temple to make the pain stop.
How many of the people on the other side of the aisle have joked about nasty things happening to Conservative leaders?
Without them, Kos would suck almost no bandwidth.
For real, though, this is another one of those, "Did I just see a rat jump over the gunwale?", moments. That a Demo, Conservative or no, would say something like that shows how they view the upcoming Fall sweepstakes.

No, Mrs Gummer looked better.
This will not happen. Pelosi will remain the Speaker after November 2010. The President will continue his second term (super easy victory in November 2012).
No change. Don't waste your time, energy, and money.
Free advice to GOP: Focus on new leadership.
Ivan Denisovitch got eight years hard labor for a joke about Stalin.
This country's leaders are so lax.
He's probably going to be able to get away with the joke.
Political Splooge Artist - thank you for your free advice. It is worth every penny we paid for it.
kthxbye

Tomorrow's Tom Friedman column today!

You know, I was raised Roman Catholic, went to Catholic school for 12 years, and attended several Catholic churches throughout the years and I must say in all honesty, I never heard a priest once bring up politics in a sermon.
Now admittedly in high school politics invariably was discussed due to some subject matter and the Church's liberal social views were obvious. Not so much at the semon pulpit though.
wow....holy moly...talk about inaccurate reporting.
the guy said she may loose, not run, get sick or die...and the nytimes report that "she may loose, not run, get sick or die"..quoting the congressman.
i saw the same story on Faux Noise:
"Rebel congressman and wannabe republican gopher wanted a quick death for Nancy Pelosi 'get sick and die' was what he said and this comment drew raves from the audience which gave him a standing ovation". Newt Gingrich, former speaker from Georgia and now a contributing asshole here on Faux Noise when reached for comment said that his mistress was waiting and he had only limited time as his wife was shopping but he would be back to us in a bit....
over to you Sean.
Blake- very good point re MSM stylebook.
Pogo - I know you are a doctor but even I know your drilling idea would not work.
wv = mityras = sculpted buns?
Hdhouse- pet peeve of mine is "lose" an election is spelled lose. How many times are you gonna spell it "loose".
The paper of record called Bobby Bright a centrist back in January. You can look it up. Interesting that the paper of record contradicts itself. Maybe the paper of record thinks too highly of itself to be concerned with something as picayune as consistency.
P.S. I think the paper of record was correct when it called Bright a centrist.
Oh and America's Politico...even DEMOCRAT's admit the House is lost. So, yes, Nancy will NOT remain Speaker.
As to Obama in 2012, who can say, but he's going to have to demonstrate greater political ability than he has shown so far.
Free advice to GOP: Focus on new leadership
This part I do agree with.
Isn't the point of this story, however, that "conservative Democrats" are groping for an answer to the unanswerable question they might be getting from constituents?
"Okay, you SAY you're against cap and trade, Obamacare, the bailouts, and you voted against them, but you voted for Pelosi as speaker which guaranteed these measures would pass, despite your token opposition. Justify your vote for Pelosi as speaker if you're as conservative as you want me to think you are."
Uhhh...well, I guess I figured... you know... aliens might kidnap her and so...what was the harm...?
That's an accurate headline. He's a firm bluedog, practically Republican in voting record. Which explains his joke. Which is why it was right to report it that way.
If you want ridculous journalism, check out InstaPundit asserting that the lunatic who stabbed the Muslim cabbie is a "efty" when in fact he linked to Tea Party politician Greg Ball on his Facebook. Link
And check out Instapundit claiming this deranged person who stabbed the Muslim cabbie is a supporter of the mosque near Ground Zero, when actually the police have found his personal diary which contains “pretty strong anti-Muslim comments,” and "equated Muslims with 'killers, ungrateful for the help they were being offered, filthy murderers without a conscience.'" Link
InstaPundit has not updated his posts with these facts. We can see in this thread that his propaganda worked on duping the commenter William. I also saw Michelle Malkin all over Fox News spewing similar inaccuracies about the anti-Muslim stabber.
"Free advice to GOP: Focus on new leadership"
And that advice is worth what was paid for it. The leftish are incredibly frustrated that they don't have anyone to demonize except maybe Sarah Palin, and they look like doofuses when they do that.
It's like MoDo begging George W. Bush for leadership on the mosque issue. Laughably pathetic.
This will not happen. Pelosi will remain the Speaker after November 2010.
Even the New York Times doesn't believe that.
Get. Ready. Headline November 3:
American People Win - Record Democrat Defeat
Anyone, including folks on this blog,could get sick, or die by tomorrow-- that reality goes beyond ideology, but I don't joke about it or wish it on anyone.
The actual NY Times headline on Nov. 3 will be:
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE RACISSS!
I promise not to blame Voltaire when I die.
Scary Voices in campaign ads:
NPR: Why Humpty Dumpty is Not Good For America
That's an accurate headline. He's a firm bluedog,
Perhaps the problem with the Democratic party is there is a significant segment that really aren't Democrats, at least not in the JFK, Truman or even Clinton sense that is.
Pelosi and company like to call themselves Progressives so perhaps they might consider forming a party that's more closely aligned with that philosophy. That way they would not have to worry about true Democrats going off the reservation.

I for one don't believe you Loafing Oaf. You are not credible in the least.
I bet they found this so called Anti-Muslim diary in the same place they found that noose that was hung on that college professor's door.
When it is all said and done this will be a fare dispute and the cab driver made all of this stuff up.
Up to now Repubs have been on strict radio silence on what they have in mind if they regain power. McChinless said they do have a plan, but they just can't tell anybody about it yet. All the new tea party primary victors won't give interviews. You would think they would be on rooftops. Hmmph.

So much "spewing" going on!
Get your martyrs! Get your martyrs while they're hot!
Right LoafingOaf?
Kind of confusing... exactly the cause of the martyrdom, wouldn't you say?
But don't let that stand in the way of marketing Muslim martyrs.
If your gonna have bigots, you gotta have martyrs!
Get your martyrs! Get your martyrs while they're hot!
Spewing! Spewing! Spewing!
Loafing Oaf: The Muslim cabdriver who was stabbed was against locating a mosque at ground zero. In your world that makes him deserving of the cuts.
Never do you see the adjectival "liberal" before the word Democrat in the NYT
Up to now Repubs have been on strict radio silence on what they have in mind if they regain power.
garage, this "We Gotta Do Something About It!" mentality is the problem
I don't want the government to Do Something.
I'd rather it didn't do anything.
To some extent, this is what is called Reagan Republicanism.
This notion that "We Gotta Do Something About it" is your philosophy.
Look where it's got us.
I hope she loses power but continues in Washington. She's a great source of material.
"We have to pass the bill so you can learn what's in it." None of Leno or Letterman's writers could have made that up.

The picture of the mooslim cab driver in the NY Post put me off my feed.
Pogo;
And so I walked out, my forehead veins nearly bursting. Like that scene in the movie Pi, I wanted to insert a power drill into my temple to make the pain stop.
I'm curious, as a physician, did you like the movie's portrayal of addiction?
We haven't heard yet from our very own Hamas supporter, OmegaLiberal:
Who's today's martyr?
LoafingOaf nominates the stabber, but the stabber seems a bit confused about his allegiances.
Poor martyr material.
You can't tell the martyrs within a program.
Come on, OmegaLiberal, find us a Muslim martyr for today.
If everything in the known universe is caused by bigotry, you've got to keep producing those martyrs.
In the NYPD there are two kinds of cops. The ones who do their jobs and put their lives on the line.
And the ones who get promoted by ass kissing and lying and doing what the political bosses want done.
You saw that in the famous Sean Bell case where he was shot by undercover cops in the strip club. If you recall the undercover cops were black, white and hispanic and they were all involved in the shooting. The supervisor who was one of the ass kissers hid under the dash board of the car.
I have no doubt that some asskissers in the NYPD are leaking to the media about nonexistant or exaggerated entries in a diary in order to give Bloomberg cover in this mosque dispute. They want to trump up some bullshit for political cover and get brownie points from the Nanny.
The knucklehead who did this was a college student who had previous arrests for assualt while drunk out of his face. He most likely did this because he was a drunken dick. It is as simple as that.
Don't believe the hype. It will prove to be a big bag of bullshit.
As far as the story, once again the desire for narrative and the use of charged adjectives and verbs leads to (at a minimum) the appearance of bias.
As a style point to the NYT; they probably missed "Christian" or "Fundamentalist" as other possible adjectives.
I expect better from them the next time.
(And I would refer them to Mr. House for assistance if needed.)
I bet they found this diary in the same place they found that poor stripper who was raped by all those evil white college kids at Duke.
Trooper
Are you talking about that dude in NYC that pissed in the mosque?
Actually, it's amazing they even used the word Democratic.
Musta felt it was OK, if they could couple it with "conservative."
Hey, I used couple as a verb, without referring to sex.
Two points.
Also, I used bold with the word "if" without crashing AA's blog or my computer.
Four points.
The guy is a conservative Democrat. He's a Blue Dog. So you are annoyed that a fact was reported??
Way to propagate conservative victimhood.
Didn't conservatives used to be opposed to the culture of victimhood? And Identity politics?
@c3 : ...did you like the movie's portrayal of addiction?"
It was a good story, artfully told. It's portrayal of pain from cluster headaches was very real. Was he addicted? I thought he was taking anti-migraine stuff.
@AJ Lynch..."even I know your drilling idea would not work."
Depends on what the desired outcome is. =)
@Hoosier Daddy ..."and I must say in all honesty, I never heard a priest once bring up politics in a sermon."
I never did until this church. It makes me want to scream when they equate Jesus' admonitions to care for the poor with government programs.
And yet in the next breath, they decry abortions, seemingly unaware that both evils flow from the same spring.

There have been a couple with some "Contract With America" ideas, but you are right. This "We Gotta Do Something About It!" mentality is the mark of the Beltway crowd, Demo or Assistant Demo. I remember Robert Dole, asked by Neal Cavuto about ZeroCare, saying, "Well, we have to have a bill", and I'm screaming at the TV, "No, we don't. Leave it the Hell alone".
While I think Hayworth would have turned into the Republican Alan Grayson, I'm not crazy about Junior McCain having another 6 years to reach across the aisle. That's the problem - we need people who want to repeal this dreck, not give us different dreck.
PS Agree with those who wonder where Alpha is and when he admits he jumped the gun (or should have listened to Faux News) on the taxi stabbing.
Not only does the NYT have no shame, they don't even know what shame is.

The parish is looking for new members of the Peace and Justice Committee and is calling parishioners to see if we will serve….I’d serve on it, but I’m not sure if my head would explode or the nun’s after the first meeting.
The Imp in Ann has appeared. Shame on you for trying to trip us up with a trick comment like "conservative Democrat". Informed bloggers and their readers know they don't really exist, like Unicorns, Leprechauns and Man Made Global Warming.

Alpha: You wouldn't notice this since you are in the opposition, but a running joke among conservatives is that the media also qualify a Republican as "a conservative Republican" but never a Democrat as "a liberal Democrat." You have to look long and hard to find the latter in the MSM>
So that is the "joke" that you didn't get. No problem with the accuracy, just the required lefty emphasis.
It sure seems like I can hear Madame Speaker whispering into the wind these days. Something about needing to "to spend more time with the grandchildren ...."

Heh.
More recently, as the economy has tanked, collections have gone down as well. Like the town lefties that want to increase school budgets and increase taxes in the worst economy in 60 years, the Church makes no reference to hard times, but instead pleads for more dough, and in fact has started new "capital campaigns" for various building projects that could wait.
Like the parishioners are cows to be milked. Note i avoided saying 'tit'. Oops.

The Dems up for re-election are all believers in the Death Panel running after them filled with Tea Party voters, and some think that they just need to run a little faster than the others Dems.

Your parish too, huh? We never miss a Sunday, now without mentioning the Parish Capital Campaign....we even have a special prayer for it.
Here's something for you to mention....or not...in OUR campaign once you pledge you get a spiffing T-shirt...and the First Sunday of every month we supposed to wear our T-shirts to Mass...you know so we can see who has pledged and who hasn't! Shame can be a powerful fund raiser.
So, OmegaLiberal, you can't have martyrs without bigots. You can't have bigots without martyrs.
Yesterday's martyr fell through on you.
Sorry about that.
You've got to justify your allegiance to Hamas with martyrs.
Find us today's Muslim martyr... after all, with so many bigots on the loose, you've got to have a constant supply of martyrs.
Or, maybe, since you're undoubtedly allied with Code Pink, Women in Black and all those Middle East Emergency Response groups, you can give us a rundown on the generalized martyrdom theory.
Does the term "Israeli apartheid" ring a bell? Just wanted to give you a head start.

And, yeah, it is bad to wish for the Speaker of your own party to die.
Lefty priest is redundant I'm afraid. It is so much easier to hector the congregation on social issues and easier to have them go along than it is to hector them about sin and expect any compliance whatsoever. I haven't heard the word sin from an Episcopal pulpit in thirty years. Give them money, be self-righteously in favor of social justice, and you can do what you want the rest of the time. Pretty easy, this new way.

All right, OmegaLiberal!
Now we're making some progress.
He's conservative, so he's got to be a BIGOT!
You've got your bigot, big boy!

Haha. All the tea party crazies are ducking the press because their handlers know that their Ayn Rand shit won't sell to the masses.

Don't waste your breath as nothing you say will make a difference. Guys like him are just ideologues who despite the proven failures of Kenseyian economics will continue to insist that if we just keep spending more money....
I mean thats what Bush did and look where it got us but he's just find and dandy with the same spend spend spend as long as its HIS guy whose doing it. Can't debate logic like that.
The winning ticket is cut taxes and cut spending; its symbiotic. I don't care where the spending cuts come from but they have to be done. Its simple math folks, we can't continue to spend at this rate. You have to be a blind ideologue not to realize that.

Not nearly as funny as the couple who had sex in the vestibule of St. Pats..I'm trying to recall all the outrage on the left re this...

Let me be clear:
Words.matter.
Not nearly as funny as the couple who had sex in the vestibule of St. Pats..I'm trying to recall all the outrage on the left re this...
For the left, this whole anti-Islam tirade they're on is just a foil which is why I just laugh at them. I remember a college prof who went off in class about the Catholic Church and how evil it is. Lefties were calling Ratzinger a Nazi and making parodies of him as Emperor Palpatine. Artwork degrading Christianity is celebrated by the very same jerks who are defending Islam as some kind of sacred cow. So take a hike and your faux outrage somewhere else.
His name is Bobby Bright.
NYT did a profile of him on January 4, 2010:
He is uniquely qualified: a former mayor of Montgomery, he was popular in the largely black areas in his district that are near the city. But he was born the 13th child of a poor sharecropper in the quiet country to the south, a largely white region of peanut farms and cotton fields known as the Wiregrass. The area is deeply conservative, but it likes its own, and Mr. Bright is one of them.
The huge turnout by black voters in the 2008 election, coupled with some infighting on the Republican side, resulted in Mr. Bright's winning the Second District by less than 1 percentage point.
Since winning, Mr. Bright has been such a purebred Blue Dog that he is practically red. He has voted with the Republicans on every significant piece of legislation of his term, including the health care overhaul, the budget and the "cap and trade" energy legislation.
Political analysts say Mr. Bright is smart to pay attention to the Wiregrass voters. He might not be able to count on such an enormous turnout among black voters in 2010 -- even if, as is possible, Representative Artur Davis becomes the first black Democratic nominee for governor in Alabama history -- leaving Mr. Bright to depend on people who normally vote Republican, a tall order.
On Dec. 22, 2009, Democratic Representative Parker Griffith, a freshman representing the northernmost district in Alabama, announced that he was switching to the Republican Party.
Mr. Griffith's switch left Mr. Bright standing alone as the sole white conservative Democrat in the state's Congressional delegation. Mr. Bright has announced no plans to switch parties. And if one counted only by his voting record, it would not seem to make a difference.
Here is the story of Nanny Bloomberg inviting the poor cabby to have his ass kissed while denouncing the opposition to the ground zero mosque.
In a seperate story, a black ligour store clerk who converted to the Orthodox Jewish faith was murdered yesterday.
Nanny Bloomberg didn't give a shit.
This is story about the store clerk if you give a shit.

Bernanke's Helicopter Could Move to New Altitude
Oh I'm not. In fact, I have little confidence that either party is going to turn anything around at this point. The pain isn't going to come voluntarily but when we can't borrow anymore to pay for Iraq, welfare, edumacation for the childrens, social security, etc. Its like when you lose your job and your credit cards are maxed out you simply cut spending because there is no alternative. Now liberals like you know who just don't care cause you just print more money. Simple. Everything is butterflies and daffodils. Love is in the air.
"All the tea party crazies are ducking the press because their handlers know that their Ayn Rand shit won't sell to the masses."
Gosh Sport, still no link?
"Republicans in office know not to talk about their ideas because they are same ideas that were tried for 8 yrs that were utter failures."
You mean like the Democratic ones that tanked the economy? Yeah, you guys are a real success story.
"That's why they were booted out of office brainiac."
Yeah Einstein, tell me how November is shaping up for that permanent Democrat majority.
So I guess this is your way of saying "oops, I guess they do have an alternative and I got caught talking out of my ass, as usual."
It's ok garage, I forgive you because you're an idiot.
@MM
Eeeewwwww!...thanks a lot for that mental image.
I mean thats what Bush did and look where it got us
How true. The line from the left is that Bush spent like a drunken sailor and that destroyed the economy. Therefore, we can only save it if Obama spends like a boat full of drunken sailors.
This same old story is getting into un-interesting territory. Yeah, the NYT has squandered its reputation as the American paper-of-record by accepting the religion of conformist liberalism. I think everyone who pays attention is pretty aware of that fact by now.
Besides, it's just a business decision so that they can sell more advertising. Why care?
@Because I Said So
A funny bit of Drudgedy further down on the right too... the Russian hunter vs our Golfer In Chief taking a leak in the woods.

Maybe a house will fall on her…
Pelosi isn't going to die. In fact, I have often thought she looks surprisingly well for her age (70). But she may have a nervous breakdown if the Republicans take the house this November (and she loses her speakership position).
If the polls are still going against the Democrats in October, look for her to start alleging racism and anti-Semitism in the thinking of anyone planning to vote Republican.
Actually, now that I think about it, she won't wait that long before making such allegations against conservatives. She's done it already when talking about the Tea Party. From there it's a small jump to argue that anyone who doesn't support Obama and the Democrats is a flat out racist.
So I guess this is your way of saying "oops, I guess they do have an alternative and I got caught talking out of my ass, as usual."
Ah, no. I'm saying they can't talk about their alternatives. Nobody likes them.
The fact that he is a conservative is what causes the story to make sense. he is not happy with Pelosi as leader. It adds content.
Republicans in office know not to talk about their ideas because they are same ideas that were tried for 8 yrs that were utter failures. That's why they were booted out of office brainiac.
Democrats like to act like Bush and the republican congress' failure was a conservative failure. It wasn't; except for foreign policy, NOTHING about their behavior was conservative. The whole reason the Rs got booted (and Tea Party became popular) is because conservatives were sick of republicans acting like democrats.

You're right; I'm confusing "Pi" with "Requiem for a Dream", both Darren Aronofsky movies and both good (IMHO)
Independents, moderates, Bush-haters, and race-healing idealists among all parties voted them in.
Christopher Buckley, Peggy Noonan, and Megan McCardle were all smitten with Senator Zelig from Illinois.
Conservatives are small in number to begin with, and some sat it out.
So conservatives voted in Democrats because they were sick of Republicans?
Nope. Independents voted Democrat under the mistaken impression that the Democrats couldn't be much worse. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi have totally disabused them on that score. (Not to mention AlphaLiberal, garage mahal, HDHouse, etc.)
So conservatives voted in Democrats because they were sick of Republicans? Hah.
Sure. Of course some probably opted not to vote at all, some voted for independents or libertarians. McCain was a horrible candidate: he was not conservative enough for conservatives, and he's just not likable enough for swing voters.
Obama said he would offer change. Instead, he and the democrat congress have only exacerbated everything that Bush did wrong. Out of control, irresponsible spending and government growth.
You may not choose to see those as "democrat" attributes, but you'd be fooling yourself.
Really: what about Bush was conservative, except for his foreign policy? Tax cuts (and the attempt at SS reform) are about it.
@c3 said..."I'm confusing "Pi" with "Requiem for a Dream"
Haven't seen it yet, but the soundtrack is quite good, and my son has seen it several times; a fave.
"Ah, no. I'm saying they can't talk about their alternatives. Nobody likes them."
Well, I gave you a citation that directly refutes one point of your bullshit that you still have yet to cite. And yet you're still pushing the same bullshit. (This proves can't read for shit.)
As to your latest point of bullshit that nobody likes these points that, according to you, nobody knows about since, according to you, nobody will talk about them (this would be proof of your idiocy)...again, I'll point you to any number of polls that seem to disagree with your optimistic assessment.
See: denial
Garage: "So conservatives voted in Democrats because they were sick of Republicans? Hah."
Tea Party movement occurred long after the Democrats had won both house and Senate. Your timeline is way, way, off.
Well, I gave you a citation that directly refutes one point of your bullshit that you still have yet to cite. And yet you're still pushing the same bullshit. (This proves can't read for shit.)
A 1:48 clip of Barney Frank directly refutes what again? He was in the minority party in 2005. Who were one of the few people at the time talking about the housing bubble? Atrios and Paul Krugman are the only two I can think of.
"The skyrocketing debt has been created under (the Democrats') watch...."
The skyrocketing debt has many causes, no doubt, but a great part of it can be blamed on our ruinous and purposeless terror wars abroad, wars which can be laid at the feet of George Bush and his cabal of criminals, as well as the bipartisan Congress of his day in the White House. Presently, those continuing disastrous wars can be blamed on President Obama, and the bipartisan Congress serving under him.
In short, our country has been bankrupted by the failed, criminal policies of two administrations and both parties.
Fox online used the same headline; what's the problem? Is he a conservative Democrat? He's from Alabama, so I'd assume he is. Do y'all think there are liberal Democrats getting elected in red states? Not so much, no.
Robert Cook: War costs versus stimulus costs are debatable. By serious people at least. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2010/aug/26/did-stimulus-cost-more-iraq-war/
Lots of criminals in your world, eh?
"Fox online used the same headline; what's the problem?"
Beth, it's the media stylebook, which states the word "conservative" before Democrat or Republican, but never ever seems to do so when the word 'liberal' is required. FOX adopts it now and then; they are not immune to peer pressure.
As a result, you can reasonably question their impartiality and reliability on any story they publish.
But that's an old and now tired observation; just more of the same. I quit paying attention to the MSM entirely except on this blog. I neither watch it or read it; I haven't the time to get out my Pravda decoder ring just to decipher their most recent propaganda.
It is a tiny bit useful, however, to reconfirm on occasion that the NYTimes remains an arm of the Democratic Party.
During the sniper shootings in DC, Bobby Bright then mayor of Montgomery referred to the DC region as New England repeatedly.
Tea Party movement occurred long after the Democrats had won both house and Senate. Your timeline is way, way, off.
The Tea Party movement had been brewing for some time now and really came to being when Obama began his socialistic agenda and bailing out of subprime mortgages.
Rick Santelli nailed it on the floor of the Chicago exchange. Check out the cheering in the background.
The sentiments have been out there for quite a while. It just needed a catalyst.
DBQ: I was running on the treadmill the day Santelli went off. It was wonderful see and the crowd on the floor cheered him like crazy. He gave a voice to what everyone else was thinking.
The simple truth is that if all the poor little bastards who were forced to borrow money had actually honored their obligations there would have been no trouble at all. But no. They refinanced "their" houses and bought bass boats and new cars and other quickly depreciating consumer goods. And you and I and the others out there slaving away will have to pay the price.

The skyrocketing debt has many causes, no doubt, but a great part of it can be blamed on our ruinous and purposeless terror wars abroad, wars which can be laid at the feet of George Bush and his cabal of criminals,
Actually that cabal of criminals spent about the same amount on education as they did on those terror wars over the same period. About $780 billion.
But facts were never your strong point Cookie so that's why I'm here.

Frank J at IMAO has THE reason why Republicans will win big in Novermber. It has nothing to do with what they say or do.
I think a reason Republicans are going to do really well in November is that while when Obama was elected people had a hope of him making things better, people absolutely know for certain that Republicans will make things better.
Look at this way: In 2008, America was feeling really sick and crummy. And then comes along Dr. Obama who said, “I can make you all feel better!” And everyone was really hopeful that was true — despite a few suspicions since Dr. Obama didn’t have any diplomas hanging on the wall. So America hired Obama… who then started to hit us repeatedly in the crotch. And we were all like, “Ow! Stop that! Stop that now!” And Dr. Obama said, “Shut up, stupid! I don’t have to listen to you!” And then Dr. Obama’s Democrat congress assistants held us down so he can punch us even easier.
So now it’s 2010 and people are looking to Dr. GOP. And given Dr. GOP’s record, they’re not very hopeful he’ll actually be able to cure what originally was ailing America. But there is one thing America knows for certain: The GOP will be able to get Obama to stop hitting us repeatedly in the crotch, making us all feel a ton better. And guaranteed results like that is a powerful thing.

I am sure it was a joke, the NYTs suck.
Pelosi sucks too, but I do not wish her dead.
Recently, Nina Easton kept referring to former Texas House Rep. Martin Frost as a moderate Dem. Confuded by that description, I looked up his voting record and he was like above 90% per NARAL, the ACLU and a bunch of other far left rankings.
No confusion. A moderate American still stands and put his hand over his heart when the pledge of aliegiance is said. Still, Nina should know better.
"Ah, a follower of Christ. Always a treat to have of those leading one's congregation of Christians."
Oh really, fls. I'm disappointed.
I refrained from making a snotty comment about how preaching the abdication of charity to the State is contrary to Christianity, but hey, I think I'll just stick that in here now.
Voting someone elses money to a good cause is theft. Period.
The simple truth is that if all the poor little bastards who were forced to borrow money had actually honored their obligations there would have been no trouble at all.
The even simpler truth is that the lenders expected many of the borrowers to default, and priced the loans accordingly. That's what "sub-prime" means -- risky borrowers have to pay more than borrowers who are unlikely to default.
But the packagers of loans into securities: the Bear Stearns, the Lehman Bros, etc. built their securities on the unwarranted assumptions that these new, risky sub-prime, option ARM borrowers would pay just like the old 20% down 30 year fixed ones did. Not only that, they got the bond rating agencies to give "tranches" of these securities the highest possible ratings.
Remember the junk bond days? Would you consider that you could turn junk into gold if only you had enough junk?
Well, that's what the mortgage-backed securities folks did. And the only problem they had with sub-prime borrowers was that there weren't enough of them. Because they got a fat slice off every piece of crap they sold. And so it went down the line to the mortgage broker, who got a bigger commission for every crap subprime or option ARM loan he originated.
But blame the poor sap for doing what the system expected him to do, by all means. When the music stopped playing, everybody else retained his commissions. The only loser is the guy who thought he owned a house.
I never did until this church. It makes me want to scream when they equate Jesus' admonitions to care for the poor with government programs.
And yet in the next breath, they decry abortions, seemingly unaware that both evils flow from the same spring.
Is there an inconsistency? Wouldn't you expect Christians to care for children both before and after they are born?
Voting someone elses money to a good cause is theft. Period.
Can you find authority for that in Scripture? All I have is Mark Chapter 12:
13Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. 14They came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? 15“Shall we pay or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.” 16They brought one. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.” 17And Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.

There are enough Christians of various stripes and colors on this list who would be able to clarify this for you. If indeed you would ever want to have some piece of data clarified so you can go "ooops."
Isn't it interesting that there are moderate Democrats and conservative Democrats... and there are moderate, conservative, and far-right Republicans... but there are no liberal members of either party?

That all things stem from government not from individuals. You try to meld socialism with Christianity because you think is how it really is. It isn't. Governments are the reduction by which their people wish to be governed under a particular system. America is a Constitutional Representative Republic for example. DPRK/CCCP are communist. Venezuala is socialist teetering on communism. Northern Europe is primarily socialist in governance. Christianity isn't a government. The good will and charity of its believers stem from themselves as individuals as told to them by Christ, as an individual that they as individuals should, not must, do for others as they would have done unto them. That isn't a precept of socialism under any rational view.
Furthermore, to obtain eternal life one must believe in Christ as they lord and savior, not sell all they have and give it to the poor. It is not deeds that earn your soul eternal life, but faith in Christ as the only way to heaven and eternal life. Christ is the standard bearer for all of Christendom, with him having full knowledge that as he absorbed my sins and the sins of all of man on the cross. That was one being doing for many instead of the many doing for him. Furthermore, he wasn't forced to sacrifice himself for humanity, he chose to do it. The distinctions are clear I believe and the constantly used lame canard that Christ and Christianity are socialist needs to be stopped in its absurdity.

FLS: I like a theological challenge
Methadras: You try to meld socialism with Christianity because you think is how it really is. It isn't.
Because they will always be in conflict. Christianity demands we surrender our soul to God. Socialism demands we surrender that soul to the State.
And I dont think its coincidence that socialists are always searching for a God-King. They deify everyone from JFK to Che.
The government takes my money and gives it to the poor
You'll be interested to know that Caesar's governent used some of those denarii to buy grain to give to the people of Rome. So JC was fine with the government taking your money and giving some even to the not-so-poor.
Governments are the reduction by which their people wish to be governed under a particular system.
And yet Jesus was fine with giving some of one's earnings to a hereditary dictatorship.
Epic fail.
There are enough Christians of various stripes and colors on this list who would be able to clarify this for you.
And yet I persist in thinking that to be Christian means to act as Christ has guided us, as documented in the Gospels.
Or do you just skip over the parts that don't appeal to you?
Can you find authority for that in Scripture?
Try: Thou shall not steal.
OK, I'll bite: Where did Jesus talk about theft in the Gospel?
Fen said...

There is nothing in the gospels the compels a demand to surrender the soul to God, Christ, or anyone else. Choice or the illusion of choice allows faith to have meaning, if one has faith, they've made a choice to believe. Once belief is achieved, then another layer of choice is acted upon, for a Christian, that is the belief in Christ and the acceptance of Christ. You haven't given up your soul in any way, shape, or form. You've instead assured its continued survival in heaven rather than hell. I chose Christ. I choose to live as best as I can as a warrior for Christ. I am imperfect. I am flawed, I am not without sin, but I am my own man and I made the choice to accept Christ and try to engage in his teachings in the best way I can. I can and there are, I believe very few people that I can think of that could ever, if ever, live up to his perfection, if not his gospel.
You or anyone else is free to call that what you want, but that would still obfuscate the truth of it, no? Christianity is not socialism, Christ was not a socialist, and the two never were. The co-opting of Christianity by leftards as a means to redefine it is something that their ideology has concocted out of whole cloth. It is a fiction.
In my view, the evidence that Jesus was not a socialist is that the results of state socialism in the 20th century were at least 100 million dead, by murder, starvation, and torture.
The means of socialism inevitably results in violence against the individual. That is inescapable when freedom is given over to the state, and the state accrues ever more power. Eventually it demands to decide who lives and dies.
Moreover, that very loss of freedom to choose is antithetical to Christianity.
Others have written books detailing arguments about the incompatibility of socialist economics and Christianity, if you cared to peruse them, but my priest and people like fls prefer to pick a simplistic theory because it suits their adolescent utopian view of the world.
But, Duranty-like, they ignore the evil they propose, and deny it, three times, and more.

I don't think I jumped the gun at all. This guy seems pretty loosely held together and the all the anti-Muslim hate-mongering pushes his ilk over the edge they are so close to, already.
But, you know, I've pointed that out in this blog about 2 dozen times. You guys reject it simply because it's a (valid) criticism of conservatism.
FLS said "But blame the poor sap for doing what the system expected him to do, by all means. When the music stopped playing, everybody else retained his commissions. The only loser is the guy who thought he owned a house."
But this "poor sap" received the money in return for his promise to repay it, at interest. So, yes, I do blame the guy who got the money and did not pay it back.
Making this "poor sap" the victim is just the kind of thinking that liberalism has sunk to. Too bad.
The methodology of rating and selling the securities is another matter pertaining to greed, commissions, lack of discipline and government policy to encourage lending to undeserving borrowers.
HT: I did what you suggested and found a lot of links to the liberal democrats in England. No Liberal democrat as a description of a liberal Democrat.
If you want ridculous journalism, check out InstaPundit asserting that the lunatic who stabbed the Muslim cabbie is a "efty" when in fact he linked to Tea Party politician Greg Ball on his Facebook.
Even for someone self-identifying as "Loafing Oaf," this is imbecility of a rare, high order.
People routinely link to entertainers, politicians, causes and organizations on Facebook not only in instances where they sympathize and/or approve, but -- waaaaaaiiiiiiiit for it -- in cases where they manifestly dislike or disapprove, solely in order to keep up with postings, messages and whatnot from said entities. (I, for instance, am linked to "Stretch" Pelosi's Facebook page; but only an absolute cretin, knowing anything whatsoever about me, would bumblingly intuit from that that I was in any way a fan.)
"Fail" doesn't even begin to cover the epic absoluteness of such a wholesale exercise in online beclowning, quite frankly. I find myself vibrating between warring impulses to applaud and pity.
fls said: "You'll be interested to know that Caesar's governent used some of those denarii to buy grain to give to the people of Rome. So JC was fine with the government taking your money and giving some even to the not-so-poor."
Now you're confusing "render unto Caesar" (following man's law) with the precept of charity. Taxation is not charity and you apparently still can't note the rather obvious distincton.
AlphaLib tried: "You guys reject it simply because it's a (valid) criticism of conservatism."
Strawmen are understood to be invalid arguments.
Caesar and other Roman leaders routinely supplied grain to the inhabitants of Rome. It was an undisguised method of currying favor, buying votes and taming the restless. It had absolutely nothing to do with charity, much less Christian charity. The term "bread and circus" comes to mind.

Socialism isn't charity. The New Testament has several passages that address charity from those who did sell everything to those that pledged money they didn't give (better not to pledge it) to those who said they sold everything but lied about it (very bad to lie about it, since it wasn't required anyhow) to those who were condemned by Christ because they dedicated their wealth to the church instead of taking care of their parents.
Socialism isn't even touched by any of that. Socialism is who owns and controls various parts of the economy.
Nor does Jesus's direction to pay your taxes have anything to do with supporting occupying nations. To look at that and decide that Jesus endorsed the military take over and occupation of nations, I'm thinking, is likely not where FLS planned to go with that.
The excuse for Socialism and for Communism is probably charity, though. But it's an excuse. The laudable idea that we can take care of everyone and life can be fair is persuasive.
But taking money from people by force in order to give it to others is what it is.

Exactly my point, thank you. Jesus's advice was to accept that the government was going to extract money from you to fund such a nefarious scheme.
those who were condemned by Christ because they dedicated their wealth to the church instead of taking care of their parents.
You see Christ used an Alinsky tactic there -- he embarrassed his opponents for not living up to their own book of rules.
But consider: why would children rather dedicate property to the Temple than to spend it on their parents? The obvious answer is that they could reclaim the property for their own use later on.
So, yes, I do blame the guy who got the money and did not pay it back.
Read up on how an "option ARM" works, woulja please? The borrowers were not expected to pay it back, and after a reset or two there was no frickin' way they could pay it back.
The mortgage machine sold the saps a bill of goods -- sure you can afford it! you can always refinance later, when the interest rates go down! sure you owe a lot of money but you'll be building equity! house prices always go up in the long run! They wanted suckers to sign on the dotted line so every layer of the mortgage machine could get paid.
And further, after all, if the suckers at some point had to default, the mortgage holder would be sitting pretty on a pile of valuable real estate.
But mortgage banker greed for commissions + Wall Street greed for a high yielding debt instrument + plus the natural human desire for shelter and a place of one's own led to the near-collapse of the economy.
When I compare greed on the one side to optimism and the desire for shelter on the other, it's easy to spot the bad guys.
You've reached MUL levels of ignorant jackassery in this thread, FLS.
"When I compare greed on the one side to optimism and the desire for shelter on the other, it's easy to spot the bad guys."
Desire for shelter? Taking out a mortgage you can't pay is not a "desire for shelter". The only sillier response would have been if you had said "they did it for the children".
