"....It has always been obvious, to anyone with open eyes and ears, that Obama's basic values are consistent with Marxism and Black Liberation Theology. He believes in an all-powerful government by the (corrupt) elite and classic Marxist redistribution. He does not like our Constitution. Those are the values of his family and all those , like Frank Marshal Davis, Jerry Wright. Bill Ayers, et al. Those values are inconsistent with out Constitution and the intent of those who founded this country, but many Americans---including quite a few here and most in the American press---share and applaud them. If Obama gets a second term I believe he will impose those values on America much more than he already has. I suspect that if that happens, many who currently support those values will come to understand their error."   LINK

Jon's views on racism.  A must read...  LINK

"I don't belong to any organized religion, but I'm a father and grandfather and have an enormous, and emotional, respect for human life from the moment it occurs---irrefutably at conception. Anyone who tries to convince themselves., or someone else, that in utero life is not human life is just plain stupid or disingenuous. That uniquely human tissue s not simply part of its mother's body. I think part of our problem here is that few have every held an infant grandchild in their arms. Many young leftists will alter their emotional political convictions if---and when---they experience that." (emphasis added)  LINK

"But, especially if O wins, we may well see an unprecedented American depression where asset values continue to fall and hi interest rates /destructive inflation are delayed a few years. but then hit hard. Meantime the value of every dollar you currently own will be diminished by 3-10%/yr. Probably OK for chronic debtors and the very rich/politically connected but the rest of us--except those with truly secure income-- are fu**ed."  LINK

"....Eric Holder is within reach of becoming the most politically corrupt person in the most politicized administration we have seen in a century." LINK

"......Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who "lost" Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, and during whose tenure America's alliances in the Middle East crumbled.

The superficial circumstances are similar. In both cases, a United States in financial crisis and after failed wars loses global influence under a leftist president whose good intentions are interpreted abroad as expressions of weakness. The results are reflected in the fall of regimes that were dependent on their relationship with Washington for survival, or in a change in their orientation, as with Ankara."  LINK

"The relevance is free speech and it is truly frightening when agents of the government---and that is what the union thugs are at this point---are sent out to violently intimidate citizens peacefully exercising their Constitutional right to free speech. Those who suggest that the American government is on the same path, though not yet as far, as the Nazi's were in the 30's are not unreasonable---the danger is clearly present.  LINK

"After eight years of the lefties ridiculing every reminder of how Clinton was so much worse than anything Bush did: selling pardons, sexually exploiting very young girls literally in the office, lying to courts and grand juries, etc., now we get to hear "it doesn't matter if Obama lies---Bush did too (though he never did)". "  LINK

"Racial spoils politics is not beneficial to freedom, no matter which racial identity group prevails. Mature, honest people understand this. Honest, reasonable people also understand that America is at a pretty critical point in its historical progression---America's dedication to freedom and equality are being tested by identity politics and corrupt would-be-aristocratic elected despots. The naive without- perspective zealots could destroy the greatest nation the world has ever known."  LINK

"Most of us, at least most of us old people, have always thought of hard-working, lunch bucket, blue collar factor and construction as typical union members. 30-40 years ago they were, but not so today. Today the typical union member is a teacher indoctrinating young kids in Obama worship or a social worker in a purple shirt beating up a conservative protester."   LINK

"Fidel Castro is the model, and the life of Cubans is our future, unless we fight back, and soon."   LINK

"..... Mexico is a failed state, and the relevant question for us is how do we best deal with it.

Our government is extremely dishonest re: the issue. What best serves our interest? Continuing the fiction of a closed border in hopes that by allowing an enormous transfer of wealth from the US to Mexico we will delay/prevent the establishment of a Cuba-like lawless Communist state directly impinging our border? Or,....Just whom in out government wants a Communist state to overcome America?

We are at serious risk. The majority of Americans seem to understand this, but will our government act in our best interests? "  LINK

".....I have long thought that a (maybe the) major motivation for the Obama's seeking the Presidency was the guarantee of great personal wealth.  He learned a lot by watching the Clintons, and I think they may have been the first to to achieve  truly massive personal wealth through "public service".  Quite a few have made a large pile of cash from "serving" in Congress, but nothing like the Clintons and, I'm sure, the Obamas.  We are indeed far removed from the days of a Harry Truman or Dwight Eisenhower returning to their previous modest life style after leaving the WH. (other than both the Bush's, who earned significant wealth outside politics)"  LINK


"A lot of us had no problem with Plame being id'd as CIA by Armitage---it was not a crime."  LINK

"While some lawyers don't seem capable of understanding it, SCOTUS ruled on the Constitution. You know, that old-fashioned document on which our country is founded----not popularity of partisan dogma. Nothing all that nuanced about the Constitution---its says what it means, much to the chagrin of blindly partisan Democrat lawyers who wish it said something else and/or arrogantly think they are so much smarter than the founders."   LINK

"....Maybe there is another explanation, but it sure looks like the long history of anti-Semitism again gaining prominence in the West. I think we have seen this play before. (I'm not a Jew either but, but "first they came for the Jews" is still relevant and our President's ties to Islam---before you reject that thought think about his spiritual mentor's anti-Semitism--- might be too.)"   LINK

"Mexico is a lot closer to being a totally lawless state---much like parts of Africa---than is PC to talk about.  Americans living near the border are being sacrificed for political purposes. (we all are, but most to a lessor degree)"  LINK

About the other "taxes" besides federal income tax, lower income folks often don't own homes and thus don't pay property taxes, and people who pay the payroll and Medicare tax get all that money back after they turn 65 (making it more of a forced savings plan than an actual tax). Sales tax should hit lower-middle income folks pretty hard though; but for low income folks, do they still pay sales tax if they pay with food stamps?"  LINK

Now it appears that hispanics want to insert some events into textbooks, despite those events having no impact on the country overall. I......  LINK

"....Yes, of course it is. In some areas of Northern Virginia the schools have deteriorated over the past 10 years because they have been over-run with poor hispanic immigrants. I've heard plenty about this over the years from my co-workers who have had children attend school in areas such as Woodbridge, Lorton, Burke, etc. This is an area about 10-30 miles south of DC down 495. Some schools went from a very small number of immigrants 10 years ago to a majority today (or at least by 2006, before they starting leaving after the housing boom peaked). My mortgage broker even warned me about those areas because large number of those homes were/are owned by immigrants and were being foreclosed upon and trashed. Does anyone seriously think that seeing a flood of hispanic immigrants into a school is going to make it better? Of course not. Most of them speak english as a second language. In may areas of Arlington and Alexandria there are large numbers of lower income ethnic minorities like Pakistanis, Indians, Nigerians, Hondurans, and Mexicans. Does anyone think that an influx of kids from those families is going to improve the quality of the school? Of course not. The best schools are going to be in the most affluent areas, where the parents are intelligent and have good professional jobs and the school district has plenty of cash."   LINK

"The main driver of single-parent households is lack of stable jobs for low income men? Most these folks simply can't do any meaningful work, much less work a whole 8 hours a day and 40 hours per week. Many can't even arrive at a designated workplace at the allotted time to begin that work. Large numbers don't even want to work. Sex drive is also a major issue here. These folks are extremely aggressive with women and have extremely low standards (they'll bond anything anytime). So sex with far more women results in far more unwanted pregnancies. Many AA men also have trouble staying with AA women, who are very tough household matriarchs. "    LINK

"Only a tiny percentage of total claims are declined, and most of them for good reason. IMO, more care needs to be declined as overuse is the problem with our health care system today. Most people declined for insurance at all because of pre-existing conditions are also declined for good reason IMO. Too many folks go without insurance for periods of time to save money, then want to hop back on when they want to go back to the doctor and put the bill on someone else. Most of them should be rejected."  LINK

"I see no "re-writing" of history in Krathhammer's remarks. I believe his comments are entirely accurate. Sure the Democrats originally voted for going to war with Afghanistan, but they became an anti-war party starting in 2004 and building into 2005 and 2006. Eventually, the Democrats decided they didn't want to be seen as doves on national defense, so they started talking about increasing efforts in Afghanistan from late 2007 onward to the 2008 elections so they wouldn't lose pro-defense centrist voters"  LINK

"If today's breakout in oil and gas sticks and we head toward $85 on oil, then that little blip up will be completely sucked up by the increase in gasoline prices. My personal opinion is that the equity market will go up on the energy, basic materials, and industrial stocks for a short time until people realize the run in oil is destroying the recovery completely. At that point the retailers and financials will start getting crushed. After a short time the late cyclicals will follow as people realize the move in oil is not justified by the economic fundamentals. I don't know how far down the market will go, but I think it will be substantial."  LINK

What's wrong with an American owning military equipment "designed to kill or injure large number of people in a short time"? Something like this is what I ultimately want. I need to protect my little castle out here 35m SW of DC in case disaster strikes. If there's a calamity in the city, people will be heading toward me. I need to defend my property, food, and supplies. There are plenty of people over in Manassas, about 15m from me, that would love to loot my community. If the situation is serious, there will also be hordes of people heading my way for food and shelter and I'll need to put up a good fight to protect my family and property.   LINK


"......The teacher also lives the rest of their life (and I'm talking about males here, head of households, not females who will marry and have the family's second income) with the lower class to lower middle class social status, which for a guy can make it very difficult to find a quality mate.

"ABout the Bush II deficits, most the budget deficit in 2005, 2006, and 2007 was all off-budget stuff from a war that lasted much longer and became far more expensive than anyone imagined before that budget year. Bush nor Congress wanted to raise taxes to fund the war, because every step of the way they thought wars end was just over the horizon. Besides that off budget war stuff, the 05-06-07 deficits were below the average since the early 1970s; they were lower than three of the four Carter's deficits in the late 1970s and Ford's deficits in 1975 and 1976 (if I remember exactly- one of those years could possibly have been better than 2005, but I don't think so)."   LINK

"... the bottom line is that things are terrible and continue to deteriorate at a rapid pace.

"Automation companies in manufacturing almost all went out of business in the US about 30 years ago. There just hasn't been enough business in this country. Just look at productivity. It boomed in the 50s and 60s, then pretty much flatlined in the 1970s and 1980s. Over the past decade, the US has just been bleeding manufacturing jobs to Asia. Automation has meant nothing in comparison to that. "  LINK

"Do the income numbers in the brackets include income from govt, like social security, welfare, unemployment, govt cheese, college grants, food stamps, free health insurance, etc? I don't think it does, and when youf actor all those govt freebies in, the total tax liability for tens of millions of folks quickly becomes zero. Plus, folks that make under $30k a year with dependents often get more money paid back in their tax refund checks then they paid in (negative tax). My sister, for example, hits the lottery every March/April when she gets her huge check from the govt. She gets several thousand back after being in very little during the previous year.

1013  Lamont claims we are certainly headed for hyperinflation

More Hyper-inflation, this time tied to Japan.  LINK


"If the economy falls back into recession during 2012 than NJ Governor Christie will come in, chose FL Senator Rubio as his running mate, and then win the election. Obama will put up a strong fight by replacing Biden with Hillary, but it won't be enough to beat the very powerful Christie-Rubio combo. If the economy somehow holds up well into 2012, then we might get a loser like Pawlenty to win the Republican nom and lose in the general by 6-10 points. "  LINK

"The CBO analysis is highly flawed. They have plugged in several extremely unrealistic assumptions to get that balanced budget with the old tax rates. First is growth. It is unconceivable at this time or in the next three to five years that economic growth can be anywhere near trend with higher rates. This is because of housing, weakness in the financial system, the continuing contraction in consumer debt ex-govt education loans, and the probability of weakness in exports cuz of Japan, Europe, and China all in recession or nearing it. It is very likely the economy will fall into recession over the next few years which will make the budget situation much worse. Second is inflation. For tax creep to happen there has to be meaningful annual increases in taxable income. Over the last two years there has been no increase in median or average taxable income ex-govt transfer payments. At this point it appears that only the highest or two highest income brackets will see any increases in taxable income. There also is unlikely to be significant employment growth over the following years. Last is the CBOs apparently extremely optimistic view of what going back to the old higher rates will have on the economy. NOte that there was even a substantial slowdown in the economy back in the firt half of 1993 when Clinton took over because of the prospect and then reality of higher rates. The economy flatlined. That was despite strong economic fundamentals. If rates were increased now, then significant demand will be taken out of the system, household debt to disposable income levels would move even higher, investment would go even lower, and savings rates would go even higher. Such a large tax increase would be completely foolish. I believe it's possible that if rates were hiked as of Jan 1 2012 back to Clinton era levels, that by as late as 2017, total govt tax revenues would either be lower or only slightly higher in 2017 than in 2012. The hikes would be very contractionary IMO. "  LINK
