Lat line in video: Wishful thinking and hard work may be the Dems' only hope.

Guy makes a great point.  The Dems might convince voters Not to Vote Republican, but it is nearly impossible to get those same people To then vote Democrat.  They aren't convincing people TO vote D, just TO NOT vote R (basically not to vote at all).

I know no one here watches CNN, but they have the continuing "Black in America", which is much sweeter than say being black in Africa.

Anywho, it's their staple show, because they show it all the time. Anyway they have a new one out called  "Almighty Debt: Black in America", where they are pushing the idea that Debt is a new form of Slavery and worse than racism.

 

So get ready Tea Partiers, you can add Debtists to the list of accusations coming your war.

Oh, he is.  But doesn't it always sound more rote when he does?  He's far more convincing when he has those moments of insight.  When he does the usual lib thing, he's given so little thought to it and done so little defending of it, that he's less convincing than Colmes, who at least anticipates opposition to what he says.

Also, Juan will be the first black liberal who will declare Obama's presidency to be a failure and a mistake.

The computers and Internet industry has given 66 percent of its money in the 2010 election cycle to Democrats, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Of the $12.9 million the industry has given to federal candidates and party committees in the 2010 election, over $8.4 million has gone to Democrats.

Microsoft is the top contributor with 60 percent of its nearly $1.3 million in contributions going to Democrats.

Contributions from those associated with Cisco make it the second highest contributor in the industry with $557,919 in donations, 67 percent of which went to Democratic candidates and committees. Google is next, with $456,119 in contributions, 75 percent of which went to Democrats, followed by Intel, with 57 percent of its $373,205 in contributions going to Democrats. The fifth-most-prominent computer/internet company, Hewlett-Packard, also favored Democrats, despite the fact that its former CEO, Carly Fiorina, is running as a Republican in California's high-profile Senate race. Those associated with Hewlett-Packard gave $367,460, with only 40 percent going to Republican candidates and parties.

Ahhh... the moments of accidental truth even CNN can find... and then they decide "No, that's too hard- we'll go back to race baiting."

Debt is a form of slavery (or leads to it very quickly)- however, while I'm sure CNN will spin it as you say (you eeeeevil white male wallstreet types are oppressing the good, honest, hard-working blacks!) they won't spend the brain-sweat necessary to realized that the same thing is true for debt at all levels, and that, therefore, any further indebtedness by the United States is, functionally, making all of us slaves- first of the State and then of China.  Yay!

When it comes to Obama Chris Christie is disappointed in his angry rhetoric and partisan tone.

Christie doesnÂ’t think Obama can pull off angry well.

“When you’re president, your obligation.. I think.. is to set the tone and to embarrass the others into changing theirs. And I’ve been disappointed in the real partisan tone the president has taken, both in terms of his policies and in terms of his rhetoric. And now, he seems kind of angry about things when I see him out on the campaign trail. And I don’t think that President Obama does angry well. I don’t think that suits him well.”

I think the CNN connotation was that its worse for blacks. Apparently debt doesn't really affect whites, indians(dot and feather), asians, etc.

51 44 This gives the republicans an excellent opportunity to overhaul or defund NPR. They should do a test run to see if NPR will take a million or so from a conservative entity to develop "reporters" like they did with Comrad Soros. If not, which they obviously will not, it would be easy to say, sorry dude you are "public" radio and you cannot just be a communist tool. I guess they can figure out how many taxpayers are democrats and then use that formula to fund NPR since it's all whispering libs all the time.

Here's the thing about the modern civil rights leadership: They're not against slavery.  Not at all.  They're kind of for it, if they can be the masters.  They don't want to be the brave vanguards of principle, they want to use it as a bloody shirt.

Actually, the first is a statement of fact for all people (found predominately in the Proverbs of Solomon, where he says similar things almost as much as he says "wise men keep their traps shut")  The reason I say that is you can find it in non Judeo-Christian writings as well (I believe one or another of the Greek Philosophers brought up the same point a time or two, and I know there was a Roman era writing about the concept).

The laws you cited were specifically the theo-social laws of the Isrealites handed down for them specifically by God to Moses and Aaron.  God never said the Gentiles had to (or could not) do those things.

And, if you're Christian, you believe that those restrictions were also lifted when Christ died on the cross- fundamentally changing the nature of our relationship with God.

He's a Black Republican.  It's probably a story.
However, I certainly didn't hear anything about it on WBAP this morning (local News/Talk Station and Rush/Sean/Levin affiliate) on the drive in to work, so it may not have any legs on it.

I can't listen to the radio at work, so I don't know if Mark Davis (our local political guy) is covering it or not-  I'll check the Dallas Morning News and Forth Worth Star-Telegram websites to see if they're featuring it.

73 Follow-Up to 77:

Dallas Morning News has it.

Reading the Article, it's something that will get spun all out of proportion- and he was absolutely right based on the quotes in the article (you actually have to read it though).

Pull Quote (Emphases mine):

"We have a constitutional remedy," Broden said then. "And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."

Watson asked if his definition of revolution included violent overthrow of the government. In a prolonged back-and-forth, Broden at first declined to explicitly address insurrection, saying the first way to deal with a repressive government is to "alter it or abolish it."

"If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary," Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain's King George III.

Watson asked if violence would be in option in 2010, under the current government.

74 However, I certainly didn't hear anything about it on WBAP this morning (local News/Talk Station and Rush/Sean/Levin affiliate) on the drive in to work, so it may not have any legs on it.

Toldja.  If it goes beyond the usual internet Leftie fever swamps, Steele issues a condemnation (he's good at that) and it dies.

75 #78.  Meh.  Theoretical revolution after being pushed on it, after hemming and hawing and after citing a bunch of founding fathers?  It's impolitic, but with him being black and sure to lose the race, they won't push it.

Do they really want to push this with Bill Ayers' and Jeremiah Wright's best bud in the White House?

76 @80 - Consistency has never been the forte of the DMN- well, except for a decidedly Democrat tilt; that's been very consistent.

Like I said, I'm not sure it has legs, but they could push it.  Even the headline saying "...Violent Overthrow 'On The Table'" is designed to get readers to think that he's some savage insurrectionist.

Personally, I'm hoping the people in TX30 are smarter than that.  History, however, indicates they aren't.

77 But lawmakers somehow had the time to propose new pork spending for fiscal 2011.

Posted by: Hussein the Plumber at October 22, 2010 09:15 AM (r1h5M)

Note that is 2011. That bill is worthless and will never see daylight. First off, it expires at the end of this congress and second, the Republicans will have their own budget bill.

They will have to pass it in that brief span after Nov and have the Sen not stonewall it.Unless they get help from the RINOs it is dead.

78 I'm encouraged by Broden's comment.  I don't want to get banned here...but I'm encouraged by Broden's comment.  It's the type of scorched earth rhetoric that puts the kernel of fear into the libs, because if "we don't get fooled again," their remaining life spans would be measured in days.

79 As of today, the Democratic Congress has had responsibility for the Iraq war for three years and just under 10 months -- exactly as long as the Republicans controlled the purse strings on Iraq.
The Democrats' three years and 10 months goes back to Jan. 4, 2007, when Nancy Pelosi was handed the gavel as Speaker of the House.

80 The obstructionist Party of "No"......

That Lib talking point is a stark indication of just how fucking stupid these dipshit LibTards really are.

Newsflash you retards: When your Democrat Party has a SUPER-MAJORITY in Congress and STILL can't pass it's Socialist agenda- The Party Of "No" is YOU!

81 I'm encouraged by Broden's comment.

I'm not.  It's Mullah Omar-type talk.  Revolution for thee but not for me.  You don't talk about it if you don't intend to do it.  Regardless, he's a politician now, so that's his venue.  If he wants to be a revolutionary, then he should not be in the political arena.

Posted by: AllenG at October 22, 2010 10:12 AM

I see this as similar to the 1964 Goldwater "Extremism in the defense of liberty..." line. In other words, 100% true but unpalatable to the libs -- who were themselves running around yammering about "revolution" back in the '60s -- and squishes like "Poppin' Fresh" who programmed his blog software to reject the vile R-word.

Sometimes, it is necessary to face facts. Beginning with FDR and (I hope) ending with the Osama Obama regime, we have been led down the garden path to a form of benign slavery. If the Founders were here, they'd be readying a new manifesto and oiling their weapons....

Thank God it isn't the "first option" -- yet.

Allen G and McScribbler

Look, i think we all agree that worst case scenario nothing can be ruled out.

But why in the f bring this up right now?

Why 2 weeks before a possible landslide.

The democrats and the media are going to pull out all the stops as a trial run for what they can get away with in 2012, so why give them any ammunition.

Can't there be some things that are unspoken but understood?

Will you at least understand that there are 20 million or so voters out there that aren't ideologues like us but are willing to vote republican and stuff like this turns them off?

84 I think I've identified the other "There is no wave" Greg. It's Nancy Pelosi. Here she is telling Charlie Rose there's no way the Republicans will do better than the 30 seats the Democrats picked up in 2006, and she will still be speaker in the next Congress.

You know why it was brought up, Ben. The "D" in "Dallas Morning News" doesn't stand only for "Dallas."

But since it has been brought up, ignoring it only adds fuel to the fire. Silence is too often considered assent.

Oh, look! Lindsey Lohan! Juan Williams! Oooooh, shiny!

86 If there is any kind of revolution it would be 3 or 4 million people swamping the Mall in D.C. politely requesting that dear leader step down.

87 @87, @89 - Ummm... because he was asked in debate?

Yes, it's a gaffe, but it's an understandable gaffe (especially here in Texas- Remember the Alamo!) and he's a complete novice "politician."

And, again, the likelihood of TX30 flipping Republican short of EBJ just completely imploding (which even the fact she embezzled money which was meant to help disadvantaged kids get to college couldn't do- remember?) is so low as to be virtually unmeasurable

Which won't prevent me from trying to push/pull/carry Pastor Broden over the finish line anyway, but let's be realistic here.
