A matter of respect
In response to Dana Milbanks' June 25 column, "The president deserves respect," I would ask Milbanks to take off his blinders and see that this president has very effectively debased the office of president all by himself and needed no help from "conservatives."
Consider these presidential actions (to name but a few):
- Invoking executive privilege in the "Fast and Furious" debacle while denying any White House knowledge of it.
- The immigration executive order (a transparent attempt to buy Hispanic votes) and ordering the non-enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act. Americans somehow know that he was sworn to uphold the laws of the United States, not to unilaterally make new ones himself.
- Let's not forget the highly unpopular Obamacare: full of new taxes (when he told us there would be none), higher insurance costs (when he told us they would be lower) and a whopping $1.7 trillion cost that he didn't tell us about.
- His endless class-warfare tirades while accepting re-election money from those "fat-cat bankers" and the rich Wall Street guys he has vilified.
- His and his wife's lavish vacation trips while some 23 million Americans struggle with unemployment or under-employment.
- His special bankruptcy rules for GM and Chrysler to buy union votes at the taxpayers' expense.
The president's confidence numbers have gone from 35 percent to 22 percent in the past year, and he's 100 percent responsible for that himself. Respect is earned, and this president's behavior has earned him just what he is getting.

Don't remind us
A recent letter complains that President Obama occasionally reminds us of the poor state our country was in when his administration took office ("Placing blame," June 26). It's certainly understandable that the president's detractors don't want us to be reminded that they were in charge when the bottom fell out. That way, they can deceive the gullible into believing it's all Obama's fault.
If the right doesn't wish to be reminded of where the blame factually belongs, perhaps they should stop trying to pin it where it factually does not.

Sum It Up
The Sum It Up question from Sunday was: Do you think President Obama is abusing his executive privilege?
Not really. Other presidents have done the same. No difference here.
WILLIAM SAMS
My answer is also a question: Is he a politician?
Every president has said and done things they would rather be kept secret. Not for national security reasons, just that some things are too embarrassing to let out.
A politician has only one goal in life, and it is not our welfare, it is to get re-elected and anything that might inhibit that goal has to be buried.
KEN HOGLUND
No, President Obama is not abusing his executive privilege. I think he has used remarkable restraint in not having done so before now.
ELAINE J. MONTAGUE
As sure as he's breathing. However, he's not the first to do so and undoubtedly he won't be the last. It's called "I'm gonna do what I want to do regardless of what I was elected to do." Happens every day.
MONA POTTS
President Obama is not only abusing his executive privilege, he is also abusing the office of the president of the United States.
He is the worse president we have had since Jimmy Carter. I never thought we would ever have a president that bad — but we have.
REID JOYCE
Obama has abused nearly every executive privilege there is, from pushing his uber-liberal agenda relentlessly and against the good of the country, to relegating our gallant military to second-class, especially the way he gives a sloppy half-hearted salute (if he gives one at all) to the servicemen who fly him around. Never has there been a president with such as lack of respect for his office.
LINDA P. DIORIO
No. All presidents use it. John F. Kennedy used it once, Richard Nixon six times, Jimmy Carter once, Ronald Reagan three times, George H.W. Bush used it once, Bill Clinton 14 times, George W. Bush six times and Obama just once. How is that abuse?

LTE #1...A matter of respect.
ReplyDeleteFirst, let me say that I adhere to the belief that Trust is earned and that every human unconditionally deserves respect until they do something to lose that respect. By the author's own definition, I should not respect him. I do not know him and know of nothing he has done to earn that respect.
*Issa is investigating an operation that took place from November 2009, when it was launched, to January 2011, when the indictments it resulted in were unsealed. Obama only asserted privilege over "post-February 4, 2011 documents." Documents generated after Fast and Furious was shut down. He's not claiming any privilege over documents created while Fast and Furious was running (though Attorney General Eric Holder is attempting to withhold documents that could interfere with ongoing investigations). If any documents exist showing a connection between the White House and Fast and Furious while it was running—and Obama has claimed publicly that he only became aware of it after it was shut down—no one is claiming executive privilege over them.
*The change was not imposed by executive order. Instead, it effectively extends an existing policy of “prosecutorial discretion,” in which immigration officials last year were instructed to prioritize the removal of felons, repeat border crossers and others considered to be security risks. Officials said the government would continue its aggressive enforcement policies but with greater care not to remove young people who came as children.....DOMA has continued to be enforced, the order was only to not defend it in court as being constitutional.
*the mandate (tax?penalty?) on effects those who do not take the "personal responsibility" of having health insurance, in Mass. for instance, only 2%. It doesn't effect the over 200million that do. The CBO scoring shows that it will lower the deficit.
*ah yes, when all arguments fail, call it class warfare.
*Vacations? Earned.
*GM, Chrysler, tell it to the "Rust Belt" Alive and doing well, millions of jobs saved, Bin Laden, still dead.
Bobby....., come on now! You know that Obama and AG Holder are involved in a cover-up. One of the reasons they are covering-up some of the documents relating to 'Fast and Furious' is because of DOJ officials' and possibly Obama's exposure to criminal charges. Let's don't kid ourselves, nor the American people. Pleeeeease?
DeleteEven Darrell Issa says emphatically there is no evidence of a cover up. Bucky Poo.
DeleteI'll even take his word over yours, since he is chairman of the oversight committee.
DeleteAnd I don't Know, neither do you. It's certainly possible. Time will tell.
DeleteTake a look/listen to this video tape, and then tell me there isn't a cover-up going on.
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEpMm5r6i0U&feature=related
There is no evidence of a cover up.
DeleteOkay...you're in lala land then.
DeleteDarrell Issa and I.
DeleteThe Associated Press
DeleteWASHINGTON — Congress doesn't have any evidence so far of a White House cover-up involving a botched gun-tracking operation, a top Republican said Sunday, countering the House speaker's assertion that President Barack Obama or his aides deliberately misled lawmakers.
"No we don't," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R.-Calif., in response to a question on "Fox News Sunday" about whether lawmakers had proof now to back Speaker John Boehner's claim about White House officials' involvement.
Talk to the Darrell.
DeleteIt's amazing that with his criminal record, Issa (Arabic: عيسى), is the chairman of the Oversight Committee.
DeleteA fellow soldier, Jay Bergey, claimed that Issa stole his Dodge Charger in 1971, when they were serving together. In another incident he was indicted by a grand jury for an alleged theft of a Maserati, but prosecutors dropped the charge shortly thereafter. In another incident, he was stopped for driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and a police officer noticed a firearm in his glove compartment. Issa was charged with carrying a concealed weapon; he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession of an unregistered firearm, and was sentenced to six months' probation and a small fine.
DeleteAlways in some kind of trouble.
Who best to make a fortune off of anti-theft devices than a thief.
DeleteA crook pursuing the Attorney General of the United States of America. Too Funny.
DeletePhargo, please...when Tea Partiers commit crimes, they are not crimes...merely "trivial mistakes".
DeleteSounds as if Congressman Issa and state senator Don East have some things in common. We know that east too has a Dodge Charger. We don't know if he stole it or not...even if he did, it would be classified as a "trivial mistake". But we do know that after endangering the public by driving his motorcycle at over a hundred MPH on the twisty back roads of Surry and Stokes County, he then further endangered the public by driving his Charger at 140 MPH on US 52.
We used to do the same things...when were 16 years old.
DOMA has continued to be enforced, the order was only to not defend it in court as being constitutional.
DeletePhargo/Bob
___________
The President's job is not to determine if a law is unconstitutional or not. That is the job of the Supreme Court.
But it is one job of the Executive Branch to defend laws in court. To defend a law that the executive feels is unconstitutional would not be defending and upholding the constitution.
DeleteCome on bucky, that's like 3rd grade civics class.
DeleteI was born during the day, Bucky, but it wasn't yesterday.
DeleteBesides Mr. Coan claims that the President ordered that the law not be enforced which is completely false.
DeleteMost laws are defended by the Justice Department in court, Bobby. They don't pick and choose, like Obama and his little crony AG Holder has done with the DOMA.
DeleteIssa may not believe it's a cover-up (F&F), at least in public, but I do. And it is.
I thought Clinton was bad, and he was as far as lying goes. But Obama and Holder make Clinton look like a school boy as far as corruption goes.
You see, Phargo, the Dunce knows more about this case than Congressman Issa does. Congressman Issa's only sources of information are the investigation carried out by his committee.
DeleteDunce has far better sources...mainly Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the all truthful Fox Lies organization.
Key word being 'most.'
DeleteDOMA is definitely not Most laws.
DeleteOf course they can pick and choose, that is why they are called the Executive Branch.
Deletehere actually is an excellent article: Government's 'Duty to Defend' Not a Given
DeleteWe need that DOMA law, to keep the perversion at bay.
DeleteLinda, if a President Romney should relentlessly push his severely conservative agenda, would that be an abuse of his executive privilege? "Obama has abused nearly every executive privilege there is" Ok, can you name every executive privilege there is and the ones he has not abused?
ReplyDeleteNOBODY....I know of in recent history has sued states for helping the federal government enforce federal laws.
DeleteSome of Obama's action are abuses of power that people, like me, haven't seen in their lifetimes.
It's absolutely horrific what he is doing to the country!
nobody has been sued now for helping the federal government enforce federal laws, lol, AZ was sued for making up their own laws.
DeleteIt's pretty clear you don't know much about federal immigration laws.
DeleteHow's that?
DeleteWhy don't you tell us what federal immigration laws say in comparison to the laws Arizona passed if you know what you're talking about? You're the one that said that Arizona made up their own laws.
DeleteI'm familiar with Title 8. And my very good friend from Mt. Airy, Razi Bradley is not only an Immigration and Naturalization lawyer he is an original member of the Piedmont Craftsman since 1999. His ceramic chess sets are internationally acclaimed and run around $5k.
DeleteSooooooo...........? Let's hear your comparison Bob.
Deletewell for one, it's not a criminal offense to be present without documentation as the AZ would have made it, it's only a civil offense
DeleteBottom line, SCOTUS strikes down 75% of AZ law.
DeleteRegulation of immigration, being an international matter, is reserved for the federal government. States cannot make treaties with foreign governments, nor can they create any kind of immigration rules...simple as that.
DeleteStates have no business meddling in federal matters, so there is no comparison to be made.
So should police let bank robbers go if they catch them? You just can't help making yourself into a fool everyday, can you Rush?
DeleteBy the way, get back in your cage.
Robbing a bank is a felony. Being present without documentation is a civil offense. Actually I got stopped a few months ago for making a left hand turn onto Cherry St from 5th, travelling east. The officer was very nice and let me go, no warning, just be aware. Happens all the time. Had I robbed a bank, it may have been different.
DeleteI do so wish you could come up with a challenging argument occasionally.
DeleteWhere's the comparison Bob?
DeleteI gave it to you, right up your Romney.
DeleteAgain, a bunch of jibber jabber, with no juice. Why am I not surprised?
DeleteI'll pull it out of my Clinton and stick it up your Obama, because it's not acceptable.
DeleteI'll double that and raise you a Pelosi.
DeletePelosi....is one heinous individual.
DeleteSo I guess that means your folding, huh?
DeleteI gave 5 to Tammy Duckworth Joe Walsh is a ....
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Executive Privilege was invoked in order to create an "October Surprise" when the documents will be released making Darrell Issa look like Donald Trump and the Birth Certificate.
ReplyDeleteFerhnstrom says "The Governor believes it is a penalty not a tax."
ReplyDeleteThe Governor now says: "It's a tax because the Supreme Court says it's a tax."
If you can't run a campaign, how can you run a country?
BTW, the Supreme Court says a tomato is a vegetable, not a fruit.
Romney didn't tell the SCOTUS to call the un-Affordable Healthcare Act a tax.
DeleteNow Obama is going to take the 'tax' word up his Clinton.
Actually the SCOTUS said the ACA is constitutional under the authority to tax, clause includes Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises.
DeleteIs that anything like taking the Edward's Retrial up your Cheney?
DeleteI hope John Edwards has a nice life with that 'crazy slut', just for the record.
Deletejust for the record, they are no longer together.
DeleteIf this makes sense to you, you might be a liberal.
Deletehttp://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-797257
A matter of respect? Right. Any executive privilege exercises that are precedent setting should be left in place for a President Romney to use as a corrective measure. Same goes for rule changes in the US Senate come January 2013 when Harry Reid is minority leader.
ReplyDeleteDon't remind us. Your theme is becoming thread bare. Yes Obama inherited a bad economy. He has also set about locking it in even worse for years to come with ever more national debt to boot.
ReplyDeleteWonder where 'ol Arthur has been? I'll bet he is busy writing his book about Obama. He better get it out quick because if Obama loses the election, the book won't be worth the paper its written (printed on-for the nitwit out there{and you know who that is}) on.
ReplyDeleteBucky, did you run a hundred yard dash in a 90 yard gym?
DeleteYou're a little testi today? Did you have a bad 4th of July?
DeleteDid Rush get out of his cage? It sounds like they are looking for him out in Clemmons.
Deletewhen bucky does not get the emotional response he so delights in, he makes one up, hehehehe
DeleteHope they get Rush back in his cage soon. No telling what he'll do while running around loose.
DeleteIf at first you don't succeed (in getting that illusive emotional response), try, try again.
DeleteHe'll bite, just give him time.
DeleteIs Austin Coan really Deb? They both have an argument by bullet point style, and are about as dishonest and inaccurate.
ReplyDeleteI worked with Austin Coan for a few years. He and his wife are fine people. I can't say about all his points, he's dead right on at least one.
DeleteHe's dead right on more than one in my opinion.
DeleteHe did a nice slam job. I would have added a few more points, but he did fine.
Instead of reading the same old liberal LTE propaganda everyday in the Journal, it's nice to read the truth for a change.
DeleteWould you have rather GM and Chrysler gone under Stab, just to prove a point vis-a-vis unions? Good grief.
DeleteIt seems your friend agrees with you.
DeleteHe's "dead right" on all his opinions, to bad he is incorrect.
DeleteArthur, I expected your reply. Most of the car production would have continued, but under different and more realistic contracts, possibly with new employers. The prospect of massive job losses was a chimera used by the UAW and its allies to bail out the union. There was sufficient demand for cars to keep most of the plants and their supply chains running.
DeleteSome plants would have closed as redundant and outdated product lines were eliminated, and some plants are unsuited to modern vehicles.
The bankruptcies of the 2 automakers prove my point about unions to some extent, while providing examples of short-sighted, gutless, and incompetent management also.
Well, that certainly goes along with the talk radiohead line, but no one has proven any of the claims made here, nor do I expect to see that happen.
DeleteMeanwhile, GM and Chrysler are booming...both Ford and Chrysler will forego some of their traditional summer closings in order to meet rising demand.
As to proving points about unions, no such proving has taken place. The health of a nation's economy does not rest on any one point, but on the intelligence, creativity, productivity, efficiency, etc of its companies.
The Scandinavian countries have union membership percentages ranging from just over 50% to just over 70%. Their indexed cost per hour for production workers ranges from 123% to 150% of that of the US, yet all of their economies are outperforming ours.
Stab, I'll let you handle the union nonsense. You do it so eloquently.
DeleteHang on Cheetah, I think Stab will put your in your cage....errrr...place.
Ha, ha, the remora is still snuffling around...

ReplyDeleteI get really tired of people nattering on about things they know nothing about, especially the babble about Obama's "spending", which has been repeatedly refuted by people who actually do know what they're talking about.
I posted one item from Forbes, which originated with the Wall Street Journal, about that recently. Of course, the babblers truck right on, because they don't really want to hear the truth.
So check out this little item from Forbes, which most assuredly is not the liberal press bogeyman that some keep vomiting up.
Read this, then parrot some more lies
Excellent charts. Ezra Klein is one of the best. MSNBC has the best young analysts in the business, Hayes, Harris-Perry, Klein. It's refreshing to get a youthful intelligent opinion unlike all the old farts on CNN and Fox who think because they are old, they know it all.

DeleteI'm glad to see you mentioned FOX. That means you are watching.
Bucky, I can understand why that monkey being loose frightens you. They eat crabs.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was just thinking about walking down to King's Crab Shack and Oyster House on Fourth Street for lunch.
DeleteMmm...
I would love to open a restaurant in that old shoe store on 4th near Trade which is available. I have a vision that would rock this town.
DeleteWell, start rockin'!
DeleteWhen I was younger I helped open several Darryl's Restaurants. The one here in Winston at North Point, the one in Knoxville, and the the one in Nashville,TN. If I still had the energy, I would love to. Working for Thad Eure, Jr. and Charlie Winston was a real pleasure.
DeleteWhen opening a restaurant, 120 hours a week is a short work week.
DeleteDuring happy hour in Knoxville, we served martinis, manhattans, gimlets, giblets, and one other drink in a Libby Magna Grande Glass, 27.25 oz.
Deleterob roys
DeleteThey were always doubles, even here in Winston, but during happy hour, you got 4 shots.
DeleteSounds like my kinda joint. I've always thought someone should open up a restaurant in that Spanish looking building across from Hanes park that used to be a pharmacy. It's a great spot...only problem would be parking.
DeleteSounds like my kinda joint. I've always thought someone should open up a restaurant in that Spanish looking building across from Hanes park that used to be a pharmacy. It's a great spot...only problem would be parking.
Delete4th and Trade? Isn't that near the Bus Station?
DeleteHee Hee....oh dear.
you can see the Sheriff's Office, right through that greenway there between the Pepper Building and those new Condos.
DeleteIt's closer to the sheriff's office. Oh my!!!
DeleteI've seen that building too, Arthur, and thought the same thing. I think it's Mock's Bike Shop.
DeleteBuy plenty of toilet paper for your bathrooms, your clients will use a lot.
DeleteDunce would be frightened silly to come anywhere near the transportation center. Too many people who don't look like or "think" like him. Just to drive past with the doors locked, he would have to strap on his Beluga 99 millimeter "gun"…
DeleteOld Marine Corps chant:
"This is my rifle,
This is my gun,
My rifle's for shooting,
My gun is for fun!"
…and nestle it down into his crotch where it would feel "good".
I live a little over a block north of the trans center and walk through there at least once a day. Often stop and chat. A lot of interesting people who cannot afford to own a car…going to or coming from work, going to doctor's appointments, going to school, taking their kids somewhere…any and all of that terrifying to a sissy boy like the Dunce.
The shoe store would indeed make a great site for a restaurant. And the view is indeed of the sheriff's. But they are moving soon to the Phillips Building behind the Winston Tower.
DeleteThe building that they will be leaving was originally the Winston Savings & Loan Building. The cylindrical stairwell used to be lit up at night in a sort of purple shade which lent a sophisticated look to the area.
Unfortunately, the master plan calls for its demolition, to extend the park into an amphitheater. I like the building, so have mixed feelings about its fate.
The Spanish style building down at Hanes Park is one of my favorites. It was originally the home of the Summit Street Pharmacy. When we were in high school, one of my friends drove the delivery truck on afternoons and weekends.
DeleteUpstairs are two really cool apartments, with a great balcony. Another friend of mine lived up there in the 1980s.
In the 1950s, Harold Coleman bought the land behind there and opened the first KFC in the city, now occupied by Alex's Cafe. Coleman eventually owned all of the KFCs in the area and got very rich. At one time, he owned that entire corner, from Summit Street around to the pharmacy building.
I too think it would make a great cafe, maybe a jazz club. If you owned it all, you could knock down the old KFC building and have all the parking you needed. And you could live upstairs.
It is currently occupied by Mock Orange bikes…they have some of the coolest bicycles around. I have visited and considered buying one, but am caught at the moment in a decision whether I am going to stay here or go back to Chicago when my wife retires next year. At the moment, that is a close call.
Good afternoon folks!
ReplyDeleteLTE 1: A rant that doesn't really explain how any of the cited actions "debase" the office. Nearly all Presidents of the past 50 years have invoked executive priviledge for one reason or another. They have also offered up executive orders, proposed unpopular plans, played the populist card(that's been going on since Jackson in the early 19th century), taken vacations (yes expensive, but being POTUS means security and aides tagging along since the POTUS is never really "on vacation"), as well as currying favor with certain industries. Valid arguments can be made that GWB debased the office by using it to settle an old personal score with Saddam Hussein which resulted in the deaths of thousands; JFK, Clinton and a few others by their sexual escapades; and Nixon by, well...being Nixon, however I don't think you can say Obama has debased the office simply by making moves you oppose. Truman was one of the (if not the) most unpopular Presidents when he left office, yet today he is one of the most respected.
LTE 2: The country was indeed on the brink of another great depression when Obama took the oath. Some like to compare the current recovery unfavorably to the 1980's recovery, but it's a totally bogus comparison. The late 1970's - early 1980's recession was Fed induced to kill off inflation. Once inflation subsided, the Fed reduced interest rates back to the 6% range (from the borrowing prohibitive 20% range) which brought the economy roaring back to life. Today's quagmire is the result of a deflationary financial meltdown brought upon by the collapse of the RE market which makes up a sizable chunk of the US economy. Considering we could be easily sitting at Dow 3000 with an UR of 25% or higher, I think the US is in much better shape than people think. The American obsession with wasting time playing the blame game instead of working to find a solution is one of its biggest weaknesses.
Sum it up: Outside of nonsensical tirades from Joyce and Diorio, quite decent responses.
It's a rant if written from a conservative's position. It's a well thought-out juxtaposition if written by a liberal. Right dotnet?
DeleteWow, Bucky, I've never seen you SO correct about something. Are you finally leaving the dark side?
DeleteBob, you're not doing too well today. I pretty much blew you out of the water with that ridiculous Arizona comment you made earlier.

DeleteAmong other things, Dunce is tone deaf. You say "Scat!" to a cat...they rhyme, see?
DeleteIf you say "Scat!" to a monkey, even a very low level one, he will make a monkey out of you, as so many do here day in and day out.
Sorry, I should have known you'd know more monkey behavior than I do.

Zimmerman's gets bail. Silly judge thought Zimmerman was getting ready to flee. No evidence was presented of that, however.
ReplyDelete$1,000,000 dollars (the bond) is clearly excessive. The judge obviously is succumbing to politically correct pressure.
Zimmerman must be found guilty. Why? Because he's white, and he killed a black man according to liberals.
Utterly ridiculous!
Zimmerman is definitely guilty of killing an unarmed teenager, whether or not he is found guilty of a crime is to be determined. He is also guilty of stupidity, but that's not a crime.

DeleteAs always, Dunce is living in the past. Yet another "trivial mistake".
DeleteMeanwhile, Allen West is living in the present at Palm Beach Gardens. It is one of those cheesy golf course places, pretty trashy by Palm Beach standards, but for the notorious war criminal and communist counter, it is home sweet home. And at least he will actually be eligible to vote for himself this time. I guess he will just have to hold his nose and do it.
Of course, it doesn't really matter where he lives. After Reconstruction, most carpetbaggers in the South went elsewhere, but not in Florida, the world capitol of carpetbagging.
Hardly anyone actually lives in the district in which they are running. Even some of the mayors don't live in the cities that they are mayors of.
Speaking of carpet baggers, how's Hillary doing?
DeleteAnd Wikipedia says West lives in Plantation. I guess, as usual, you know everything, huh? When did he move?
The gerrymandered districts make it hard to keep up with. One thing I do know, that lying, liberal, Jewish girl represents the district right next door.
And guess what? She moved from New York. So much the carpetbagging southerners.
DeleteYou must hang out with a bunch of dopes, Rush. You rattle on so much garbage, I don't think you can keep it straight.
And when West had his little flap with her, I called his office and told one of his staff members how proud I was of him.
DeleteThen, I call the CBC, and told them to lay off West.
I like West a lot!
I don't doubt that! Birds of a feather and all that!
DeleteApparently Dunce is like Caniac Steve, a fool who calls busy people expecting that they really care about his loony tunes crap.
When I was just a college kid, I worked in a Congressional office. One of our favorite things was when some crackpot called up to express their ignorant opinion. We liked the negative fools the best, as if anybody was going to pay any attention to their insane rants. We got to know all the regular callers by their hysteria strained voices and would sometimes pretend to be the Congressman himself.
"Well now, Mr. Dunce, I am deeply concerned at your deep concerns and you can be deeply certain that we take your deeply held nonsense seriously and will deeply do something about it."
All the while trying to keep Dunce from hearing the howls of laughter in the background.
West moved to PBG in May. I understand that when you are still living in 10 thousand BCE it is very difficult to keep up with the latest developments. Maybe you should follow your hero Mr. West on Twitter...a perfect venue for you...twit, twit, twit.
Best of luck, Mr. Dunce, sir. You will definitely need it.
Yeah, I'll admit it. The CBC didn't seem to concerned about what I thought or said. I guess it was because I talked 'white'.
DeleteI don't really care. I did what I thought was right.
Since I don't read the Journal anymore and live too far away for it to be delivered to my humble shack....maybe someone with some clout and contacts there can suggest a comment topic for readers: what if anything will be the catalyst for economic growth domestically, and globally, since both are nearly stalled? Lynching poor old George Zimmerman won't be on the list I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't know what's up with the liberals' obsession of Zimmerman. He was a community watch person trying to do his civic duty, and some gang-banger-wanna be attacks him, and he defends himself. I don't know what's the problem.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's white, and the person was black? Seems racist for people to think he has to go to jail for that reason alone. Of course I've always thought liberals are some of the biggest bigots in the country.
I agree, 100%, it would be racist to think that Zimmerman should go to jail based on the fact that he is white.
DeleteMy heart is fluttering. Do we actually agree on something? There is a glimmer of hope.
DeletePersonally and philosophically, I am willing to wait patiently until the affair has ended. In no way is there anything I can do to effect the outcome and there is certainly nothing going on there that effects my income, so even considering the matter is a complete waste of time and would show a lack of personal responsibility on my part. So until the matter is settled, I'll Zee out on this one, go in the other room and catch a few Zees, Zee what else is goin' on.

DeleteNo fear...doesn't have a heart to flutter. He just made that up.
Delete"(A) Hispanic registered voter is at least 45.6 percent, and potentially 120.0 percent, more likely than a non-Hispanic registered voter to lack (state-issued) identification," the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, told Texas officials in a letter in March. "Even assuming the data most favorable to the state, Hispanics disproportionately lack either a driver's license or a personal identification card issued by (the state), and that disparity is statistically significant."
ReplyDeleteTomas Perez, Head of DOJ Civil Rights Division (Note: Hispanic surname) Hee..Hee..,but that has nothing to do with it.
__________
More outrageous comments by one of Holder's representatives at DOJ. In other words, it's okay for illegals to vote, right Mr. Perez? We wanna make sure Obama gets elected, who cares about the integrity of the election.
We want to bring Mexican type elections to the U.S. That'll help everybody, won't it?
As Arthur would say: Pathetic!
ASS-you-ming that all Hispanics are illegal, that is.
DeleteIf my 100 year old mother can get and maintain a current valid N.C. I.D., anybody can. All this nonsense by Democrats to not require an I.D. to vote is so illegals can vote for Democrats in the next election. That's the bottom line.
DeleteReally, Bucky: you really need to let this fantasy go.
DeleteLatino AND closet case. Bucky's a bundle o' self-loathing.
Delete:-)
DeleteThere are about 50 million Latinos living in the US today.
DeleteWhen President Obama took office, about 12 million of those were illegal immigrants. But several factors have combined to change the numbers drastically:
1. Thanks to the CheneyBush inspired economic crash, hundreds of thousands of Latins have been returning to their home countries.
2. The Obama administration became the first presidential administration to take deportation seriously. Focusing on convicted criminals, they have deported nearly 1.5 million Latins, far more in less than 4 years than CheneyBush deported in 8 years.
3. Thanks to stepped up enforcement by the Obama administration along the borders, for the first time the net flow of illegal immigrants has been reversed.
4. So the number of Latin illegal immigrants residing in the US has dropped to somewhere around 8-9 million.
I really enjoy playing poker and other card games for money, mostly because I win way more often than I lose. That is because the difference between winning and losing is controlled by an ability to understand statistics, specifically odds.
For instance, if the cards tell me that I need a legal Latin card for a flush, and the odds are better than 6-1, as they are in the population, that I will draw a legal Latin card, then I will go for the odds and win roughly 6 times out of 7.
The loser in the game is always the one who does not understand the odds, so bets like a loser. He will inevitably bet on the illegal Latin card, so lose 6 out of 7 times.
Wouldn't I love to get into a game with the Dunce! He would be bankrupt in an hour or less, and I could fully retire to Tahiti.
"Thanks to stepped up enforcement by the Obama administration along the borders, for the first time the net flow of illegal immigrants has been reversed."

Wrong! Another Rush lie. Illegal immigrant presence has been reduced because of the U.S. economy, not because of Obama's deportations.
I'll just add that one to your long list of unsubstantiated, BS declarations.
ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
DeleteHa, ha!
DeleteAnother Limbaugh quote. Dunce tells us that he doesn't listen to Limbaugh, then outs himself by quoting the fat idiot word for word.
Again, I recommend reading and writing classes for retards, along with a basic statistics course, at FTCC. If you cannot meet their stringent standards for admission, you might try Regent University, the alma of Deb Phillips. They will let anyone in.

DeleteZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Does this fool actually believe that he ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGed somebody?
Just for that, you won't be getting your banana tonight Rush.
DeleteRush is still on the run!

I'm pretty sure that I know where the monkey is and who is with her.
DeleteA friend of mine who lives next door to where Allen West used to live in Plantation, FL says he saw West, a monkey and a really stupid looking closet gay boy standing outside West's former home.
The monkey was handing West a check, so it is pretty certain that the monkey has rented West's former home and will be living there with her stupid looking closet gay boy friend.
One assumes that she has a gay male monkey friend for the Dunce to play with.
Pretty lame retort Rush. Have you had your testosterone levels checked recently? You seem to be falling off, or going limp. I hope that's not too harsh.
DeleteOh dear......Queen Nitwit Schultz on TV. Guess it's my bedtime.
ReplyDeleteNighty night Rush.
