One of my friends is looking for a house in the south. 

Libtard or conservative?

If libtard tell them we don't have no houses down heah!

If conservative tell him new construction is between $100 - $105 sq ft in SC. (away from beach) 

Yes, but the country is better off with Obama at the helm. 

We all know that McCain really liked Teddy Roosevelt, the second most evil president ever.

America should've voted for the Mormon guy I was pulling for.  He would NEVER have tried to pass any type of costly health care scheme... 

curious:

the entire system is broke, all of it. Mish's site has been doing some really great pieces on this.

If they pass this piece of shit "healthcare" bill, the country is done, its pretty insolvent now, but within a 1 yr or 2 we will not be able to sell any bond without massive increase in interest rates, and we will have a very very very severe recession again. Jim Sinclair's website has done some great work on this. Jim used to be an advisor to Volker, when he was the fed chairman.

We've carefully examined the issues and thoroughly debated the options. 

Now, bend over and spread those cheeks.  It'll only hurt for a few decades.

Does this whole trillion dollar deficit thing mean I'm not going to get paid?  F**cking racist Rethuglicans.  We better vote for some more Democrats.

The next couple years is going to be remembered as a titanic battle between the forces of conservative and progressive thought. No time in our nations history have the stakes been so enormous. The threat of 1 trillion dollar deficits ten years into the future and the prospect of government's continuing intrusion into the private sector, including the idea of a take over of our health care industry is setting the table for the mother of all battles. Progressives now control our government. We have a president hell bent on a redistribution agenda, and a massive expansion of federal power.

I heard the other day a good description of the fundamental difference between conservative and progressive thought. In short, conservatives believe in freedom, and because of that they are willing to accept a disparity in economic outcome. Progressives on the other hand believe in equality, and are willing to accept a loss of freedom. Why would anyone dispute the idea of equality? Don't our founding doctrines say that all men are created equal? Yes, but equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are completely different concepts. Conservatives believe in the former, but they abhor the latter. Do progressive really not believe in freedom? Well, none would ever admit to that, but policies of wealth confiscation that takes from one and transfers to another obviously reduces freedom, and in a very subtle way condemns the recipient to an entitlement mentality that robs that person of self respect. They also seem to want to meddle in every aspect of American life, and set standards of conduct overseen by a nanny state that doesn't trust the individual to make decisions on his own

"She says soon only the poor and the lower middle class will be left."

Sounds like the next progressive step.  First there was urban flight.  Now state flight.

Fear not!  The country will collapse long before the decade is out.  No way we'll get a whole 10 trillion in the hole.

My friend Steven Spielberg and I love this country more than anybody.  Haven't you seen Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan?

Now, why would I call Obama a calm and wise man unless it was true?  I'm the nicest guy in America.

"Hey! Wouldn't this be a GREAT time to have national health care?" 

Yea!  And we could grant amnesty, allowing even 6th cousins to be reunited with their "families".  That'll take care of the jobs problem

Miss me, don't you?

Liberalism adopts and abandons positions whenever it is convenient, because they really don't care about individual issues. 

What they do care abut it acquiring power. So, anything that gives far left Barack power is ok. Anything that gave moderate Bush power is bad.

So the Patriot Act was bad then, and good now.

Once you apply this template, it becomes easy to understand leftist positions on issues.

Loyalty.  McCain helped Brown out big-time in the Senate race and brought Palin to national prominence.  I personally wish she would have stayed out, but she doesn't see things that way.  She gave him pretty faint praise on Leno this week, so I don't think she's terribly enthused about it.

On a related note, if McCain wins the primary, lets find somebody better than Hayworth to run against him next time.  Flake or Shadegg would be good.

You make that sound like a bad thing. Oh, and I prefer the term fascism. The union man, the big businessman, and the government bureaucrat all working together to enact the leader's vision - what a great system.

I tell you if your president would just focus on the trains a bit more, he would truly make me proud.

This is what we get for electing someone who never had a real job.

Oh he has [and has had] a "job" all right - his "job" is to destroy the United States of America, and, beyond that, as much of the civilized world as he can get his filthy grubby hands on.

Dude has been working towards this goal his entire life.

My point being that if you make the mistake of playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules and attributing this catastrophe to mere incompetence, then you lose [before the first shot has even been fired].

@ 122

I'm tempted to agree with you: we got ourselves into this mess by electing the wrong people into office, we can get out by electing the right people.

I make it a point to gently engage total strangers in political discussions and am finding much less in the way of lockstep liberal thought. Things are so bad now that even my friends who backed The Vapid One® enthusiastically are having second thoughts. It hurts them to think that they got hornswoggled, but that's a good thing.

Think I'll take a part-time college course and learn Chinese.  At least I'll understand what my boss will be yelling at me after they take over.  And out of curiosity, just how much does the Chinese government contribute to the Democratic Party?

Best take conversational Chinese, then, with romanized spellings.  I took Chinese in college (back in the day, as a lark) and their characters are wacky.  Don't waste time trying to memorize them if all you want is to understand what they're saying.  That's hard enough.  They've got sounds that are distinct to them and identical to western hearing.  Annoying as hell.

Teacher: "No!  Not Shyue!  Shyue!"
Student: "Um... Shyue?"
T: "NO!  Not Shyue!  Shyue!"

Beto, don't be so sure. This Intertubes thingy is enabling an increasingly engaged public to bypass the traditional power brokers. People who, five years ago, couldn't tell you who the speaker of the House is can now spout all kinds of political names and positions. This is a good thing IMHO.

Three States Sue EPA Over Global Warming Ruling

Texas, Alabama and Virginia, all led by Republican governors, have filed petitions since December, when the EPA ruled that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endanger human health, clearing the path for the agency to issue mandatory regulations to reduce them.

Where is the SC Rep gov in all this?  He is in Argentina and besides, the State is run by Lindsey Grahamnasty anyway.

Iceland expected to turn down bank failure repay

REYKJAVIK, Iceland – Economically struggling Icelanders resentful of international pressure were expected to vote down a $5.3 billion plan Saturday to pay off Britain and Holland for the debt spawned by the collapse of an internet bank.

A "no" vote would create another obstacle on Iceland's difficult road out of a deep recession, jeopardizing its credit rating and make it harder to access much-needed bailout money from the International Monetary Fund. It could also harm Iceland's chances of joining the European Union.

The global financial crisis hit particularly hard in Iceland, a volanic island with only 320,000 people. The country's three main banks, hobbled by massive debts run up during a period of rapid expansion, collapsed within the space of a week in October 2008, and the country's currency, the krona, plummeted.

You are describing the dynamic at play over the last 50 years in all the big urban cities (of the north esp) and now it's becoming the dynamic of the big bankrupt states.  Socialism/communism can only work by destroying the middle class, the so-called bourgeouis (sp?) of classic marxism.  The truly rich stay firmly in place, with their foot on the neck of the middle class.  The poor/the peasants are the foot soldiers who enforce the so-called equality.

I agree completely.  I'm not trying to justify illegal immigration.  I'm against it.  Vehemently.  I've pissed off a few telling them that they ought to stay in Mexico and fix the place, rather than run away.

All I'm saying is that they aren't lazy criminals any more than any other group of people.

Easy.  Andrew Sullivan travelled back in time on Alexander the Great's time machine with a vial of Trig Palin's extra-chromosomed blood and infected all of the Mayans and Aztecs.  The rest was just people doing what comes naturally.

Since we've all apparently concluded that America is screwed, demographically speaking...

Could we just appease the Mexicans by returning California? 

Hell, the state has become a net liability - we might as well just cut our losses...

What is the point you are trying to make?  I do not think that article says what you think it says.

peanut gallery:

The dysfunction you are ascribing to being Mexican is the dysfunction that permeates ALL GROUPS that become dependent upon the government and/or private charity. 

Any socialistic society will create dysfunction because it will incentivize negative behaviors, especially in heavily populated urban centers.  Go look at the trend lines for illegitimate births after Johnson massively expanded the welfare system and began subsudizing out of wedlock births. 

Illegitimacy increased across ALL RACES - the only reason that it was more pronounced in the black community, for instance, was because a much higher percentage of black Americans were eligible for welfare payments.

Mexicans aren't the enemy.  Socialism is.

Posted by: the peanut gallery at March 06, 2010 04:10 PM (mg/vv)

No it doesn't.  It says Hispanics who immigrate to the US and are poor and live in the welfare state act like other poor people who live in the welfare state.

Posted by: the peanut gallery at March 06, 2010 04:15 PM (mg/vv)

Now you're defending the welfare state?  Teh Stupid is strong in this one.  And NO ONE on this thread, dumbshit, is arguing that we should flood the country with poor latinos.  No one.

390 -

Your point is irrelevant.  As long as there is a welfare state, there will ALWAYS be "poor latinos," or at least their functional replacement (whether it be poor blacks, poor whites, poor Asians, poor Arabs, poor etc...).

Posted by: the peanut gallery at March 06, 2010 04:19 PM (mg/vv)

You're delusional.  Your article didn't say what you wanted it to say.  You'd rather blame skin color than the welfare state.  I thought you were just stupid, but maybe you're stupid AND racist.

We have a massive welfare state, but we don't suffer from any problems at all with unwanted immigration. 

It must because we're not next to a country full of lazy Mexicans.

225 "You are assuming Hispanics are all gonna go Democrat.  I can tell you their culture is slanted very conservative."

Yeah, that's what they keep telling me about blacks.  More outreach needed, I guess.

The only thing allegedly "conservative" about the average Hispanic or black voter is that they have no tolerance for homosexuality.  (and hatin' on homosexuals is really not part of conservatism these days, as CPAC just proved.) Otherwise they're cool with big government taking from the rich and giving it to them, aka Peggy Joseph in the 2008

I've known several so called red blooded American patriotic conservatives who have employed illegal labor and are just as complicit in the problem and love their wallets more than they love America.

Yep I have always said the the problem would fix itself if the started arresting and jailing the hirers and quit arresting the illegals.

Currently the only "penalty" these people pay is they can't be employed by a Republican administration if they have ever employed an illegal.

Double tap, indeed...

Why not do both?

Why spend the money? The illegals will deport themselves if they have no job and no welfare.

Sounds like barbecue to me. 

Every time that said that in historical texts, they were talking about a having a barbecue hootinanny.

Lemon  Pickers Wanted !!

The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job.

The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you this:
"Have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?"

"Well, as a matter of fact, I have!

"I've been divorced three times, owned 2 Toyota's, and I voted for Obama.

So, offerings to God or the gods, right?  Okay, whatever.  Good thing they didn't eat much.

I made a barbecue sacrifice today.  Tasted great. 

How far will you go to get laid?

Home plate?

Men watch Top Gun? I thought only chicks were into that.

Then again I always hated that movie. At the age of ten I knew something wasn't adding up with Tom  Cruise and Kelli McGillis (? is that her name?) scared me.

I didn't know why until I learned about all the gay overtones in Top Gun.

Yeah, it didn't quite add up for me either.  Here's one clear moment.  Ice tells Mav he's dangerous.  Right about then he opens his mouth and bites his teeth together with a click.  I've always that WTF?  What is that?  What does that mean?  Never seen that before.  Well, it means...

I guess it is a good thing that there is no news today, right? ThatÂ’s a positive with this administration. Or, a negative if you start wondering what exactly is going on behind closed doors right now that will be dropped on us soon.

Also I have to give props to "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and the first "Batman". And those are just four off the top of my head (well, one from yours).

Four-plus good movies, including "Nightmare", earns him his star on the sidewalk. Compare with James Cameron, who gave us Aliens and the first Terminator; everything he's done since then has been an overrated brown steamer.
