I think the Dems stabbed him in the back and he sees what is going on in his home State now.

If he was running for office this year he would be lucky to get 2 votes in the primary that would be sure to be held. His and whoever is his current boyfriend.

4 I posted this on one of the night threads but it bears repeating:

On the continuing "nationalize everything" front the House passed a bill with a voice vote (meaning you can't find which Republicans sold you out)  on the 9th. This from Fox:

High-energy electric pulses from the sun could surge to Earth and cripple our electrical grid for years, causing billions in damages, government officials and scientists worry.

The House is so concerned that the Energy and Commerce committee voted unanimously 47 to 0 to approve a bill allocating $100 million to protect the energy grid from this rare but potentially devastating occurrence.

The Grid Reliability and Infrastructure Defense Act, or H.R. 5026, aims "to amend the Federal Power Act to protect the bulk-power system and electric infrastructure critical to the defense of the United States against cybersecurity and other threats and vulnerabilities."

This bill allows the President to basically authorizxe taking over the electric grid and the internet if he deems it necessary. If you want to fight it in court the bill restricts you to only the D.C. court of appeals.

The justification is just as phony as Obama.

Solar flares wiping out the electrical grid - Note this is what caused the great NYC blackout of the 60s. Since then the grid has been strengthened against this and even with massive flares since then there has been no more wide spread blackouts from this cause.

Hackers taking over the grid is the other excuse. This one has been pushed by "some security experts".  I always love these unnamed experts as an excuse. Based on what I know of the grid and utilities, no large utility uses the internet to control their grid or their power plants. This excuse is a bullshit lie.

But they pushed this POS power grab through with little or no fanfare under a voice vote.

5 "The science about global warming has changed," Lindsey Graham noted, offhandedly.

NO! The scientific proof NEVER supported global warming or Gore's revisionist label "climate change" that according to Gore is not defined by the words' definition, but is defined in NEWSPEAK.

The only thing that CHANGED is the public awareness of the FRAUD, no thanks to Graham who never supported real science in his life.

Hackers taking over the grid is the other excuse.

Shit, fucking hackers already control the Executive branch. I figure any one of the hackers they are afraid of would do better for America than the Choker in Charge now.

Vic, would this also protect us from an EMP? If so, it would seem to justify the cost. But I have no idea if a giant flare and an EMP are the same.

The government has done absolutely nothing to prevent our annihilation given an EMP attack which is not so difficult for our enemies to perform.

And at the rate the Marxist Obama and Congress are working, erasing national borders and rule of law, one wonders when they'd either perform, endorse or passively allow the EMP against our own citizenry deemed undesirable.

24 Vic, would this also protect us from an EMP? If so, it would seem to justify the cost. But I have no idea if a giant flare and an EMP are the same.

They are similar in cause and effects but EMP would be orders of magnitude greater. In addition, an EMP strike would occur along with a lot of other devastating effects making the loss of the grid not a concern.

Personally, if I am lying in a ditch with heavy petechea and blisters, hair falling out, and puking my guts out on the way to a painful death I am not going to worry if I have electricity or not.

With Revolutionaries 'Looking On,' Teachers Take Kids on a Protest Trip to Arizona

Standing in front of a wall-to-wall mural featuring a who's who of revolutionaries, including Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, and boldly displaying the motto Patria o Muerte, Venceremos!!! (Fatherland or Death, We Shall Overcome!!!), a group of teachers, students, parents and community activists in the Los Angeles Unified School District gathered last month for an unusual field trip — to Arizona, to protest that state's controversial immigration law.

A video posted on YouTube shows LA social studies teacher Jose Lara interviewing teachers and students on May 28 at the headquarters of an organization calling for a Mexican revolution on U.S. soil. Soon after he shot the video, many in the group left for an overnight "freedom ride" to Phoenix to protest what Lara tells the camera is a "racist and outrageous" law.

Â….Lara, who made the video, teaches at the Unified School District's Santee Education Complex with Ron Gochez, another social studies teacher who came under fire last month after he was identified making incendiary remarks in a widely circulated YouTube video that shows him speaking at a 2007 rally for La Raza, a revolutionary group calling for Mexican revolt inside the United States.

In that video, Gochez referred to Americans as "frail, racist, white people, and to California as "stolen, occupied Mexico." The video's posting led to a groundswell of anger and a flood of calls for Gochez's firing, but a school district investigation found him fit to continue teaching history to public school students.

Not sure, but I believe for an EMP pulse to be effective and cause widespread havoc you have to detonate a device high up in the ionosphere. Iirc, we did it back in the fifties or sixties and it caused problems with radio and telephone communications for days over a large area

June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Sales at U.S. retailers unexpectedly dropped in May, signaling consumers boosted savings as employment slowed and stocks fell.

Purchases decreased 1.2 percent, the biggest drop since September 2009, following a 0.6 percent April gain that was larger than previously estimated, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. Demand plunged at building-material stores, reflecting the end of a government appliance rebate, and sales fell at auto dealers, in contrast to industry figures which showed a gain.

It's a hell of a recovery we have going. Everything is so unexpected.

90

The effect wouldn't be long ranged, but using a couple of those on several major cities would still bring a lot of chaos.

One more thing from that article

Companies reined in hiring last month, making it likely households will keep a lid on spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy.

“The strength of the consumer recovery was overstated,” said David Sloan, a senior economist at 4Cast Inc. whose forecast of a 0.7 percent decline was the lowest among economists surveyed. “I don’t think things are going into a nosedive. The economy is in recovery. The outlook is still moderately positive.”

It's moderately positive? WTF is that? With idiots like this no wonder why everything is unexpected for these "experts"

103 What we need to do first is eliminate Socialism on our university campuses. Get rid of tenure, drastically replace broad based Federal aid with funds dedicated to specific classes needed by the economy - or - modify the tax code so that employers can pay for previously incurred expenses that match their business needs, instead of new costs.

--It just occurred to me this morning, that Greene reminds me of Addie Murphy in The Distinguished Gentleman, a Congressman who gets elected solely because he had the same name as the previous one who died.

109 Zuggs, Socialism and Communism aren't about the proletariat; they are about establishing and maintaining power by a ruling elite - without any messy bourgeois, mercantile, or yeoman class around to interfere. That elite is defined by access to information and political power. It doesn't work because the economy is too diverse and the information needed to optimize it never gets to the top fast enough. Adam Smith's invisible hand being the controlling function works much better.

This is 'a red rag to a bull' to a lot of people who grew up in the former Soviet bloc.  I was a child of 50s and 6os but not what you consider as such in the West.  My parents didn't manage to get me and my siblings out of the communist sphere of influence until the late 60s.   By that time, as the eldest child, I understood a lot of things that were wrong simply by eavse-dropping on my own parents.  By the same token I understood what a great sacrifice they made for us kids by obliterating their own past.  Try to imagine how liberating to our family was the fall of the Iron Curtain.

120 Somebody posted earlier that if the dems don't get Greene out by noon today they're stuck with him.

From the Charleston story:

If Greene were to change his mind and withdraw before the State Election Commission formally certifies his win today, the commission could declare Rawl as the party's Senate nominee.

If Greene were to withdraw later, the process gets more complicated. 

So not a sure thing.

Heh. She could make me write bad checks. But I've always been a fool for good looking women.

I believe it's 3:00PM, will check.

Didn't the Torch prove to everybody that when it comes to commiecrats and elections, rules don't mean a fucking thing.

124 You were right it's noon.  Here from SC elections website:

June 10
County Election Commission meets before 1:00 p.m. to canvass votes and declare results. CEC must certify results to SEC no later than noon, June 17.
7-17-510

not later than
12:00 noon
Board of State Canvassers meets to canvass vote and declare results of primaries for federal, state and multi-county offices.

June 11 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg is being summoned to Washington for a meeting with President Barack Obama as politicians step up pressure on the company to settle damage claims and suspend the dividend.

Has Barry summoned him to kick his ass?

126 --It just occurred to me this morning, that Greene reminds me of Addie Murphy in The Distinguished Gentleman, a Congressman who gets elected solely because he had the same name as the previous one who died. Posted by: logprof at June 11, 2010 10:03 AM (Mmw0q) I mentioned that yesterday but no one said anything. I guess not many people saw that movie, but it really wasn't half bad

Oh I *so* want to volunteer my services to this campaign!!

And yea, I am sure there is a job for Blago in our new administration.

Rod!  Get that goddamned blank stare off your mug!  We're back in the game!

Eat me, bitches!

So if we're in a politician/movie role mode, is Odummy Lonesome Rhodes or Rupert Pupkin?

131 Can Blago even have a fair trial?

132 Either way, South Carolinians will replace Floridians as the laughing stock of the country.

133 54 I think you need an H-Bomb to get an effective nationwide EMP. Few nations have H-Bombs. Iran is not one of them. Pop off a few crowd-pleasers at high altitude over Kansas and you can send the entire USA back to 1801. Posted by: eman at June 11, 2010 09:31 AM (aj4hp) We can hope that the military, at least, has gotten religion about shielding the most important electronic bits they use. If not we're boned.

#91 Zuggs,

Communism is idiotic even on paper:  no marriage and parenthood?  If humans wanted that kind of setup they'd do it.  Marxists won't even say what a communist state would look like beyond vagueness that it'll be better and there won't be any possessions.

There you have it, John Lennon and the professional feminists all rolled into one.

135

Either way, South Carolinians will replace Floridians as the laughing stock of the country.

No doubt.  What a bunch of unsophisticated rubes!

136 We're not only imparial, we're impartial, too.

137 But at least they can spell their state name correctly.

138 Few nations have H-Bombs.

We don't have any anymore either.  They were dismantled a long time ago in favor of much more efficient smaller MIRV'd fission weapons.  The fission weapon initiators for the fusion weapons were recycled into updated fission weapons.

I would imagine the Russians scrapped theirs long ago too for the same reasons.

139 148, eman not know that. Interesting.

140 #46 Most nukes are air-burst, about 10-15,000 feet. It maximizes damage from flash and overpressure when the blast hits the ground from above

Yep.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were airbursts.

141 We don't have any anymore either.

Sure we do. All the modern weapons are some type of multi-stage device that works from fission to fusion, just not on the large scales we had in the earlier days.

142 Oh Harriet! you have a future in politics.

143

Can Blago even have a fair trial?

In actual fact he would have more than a fair trial.  Everyone will be bending over backwards for Blago long after he should have been strung up.  But that will never happen simply because liberals have no idea how the Constitution works and the conservatives are too timid to educate them.

144 Has Barry summoned him to kick his ass? or thank him for his generous support

145 Yep, sailing chick teen is AOK.  Exactly the scenario I described, last night.  Communications were taken out and so her only option was to set-off the EPIRB.

PA, When the SHTF, I want you on my team.

151

Yep.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were airbursts.

Very true. But remember, it depends on what effect you want the atomic explosion to have. Want to flatten a city, then airburst. Want to cripple not only a city but possibly the entire nation, blow it up in the stratosphere.. Same device, different results.

152 PA, When the SHTF, I want you on my team.

Ian, don't know if you peruse AofS much, but PA isn't your average Moron.  I expect he's got hidey holes all over his house, including a life-size one. 

If run out of ammo, I'll see you at Camp Bourgeoise, Ian.  I call top bunk.  Then we'll just have to wait for PA to summon teh smart and liberate us.

154 BTW -- fission weapons are better than fusion weapons (H bombs) for generating an EMP.

155 If Alvin defeats Nikki, South Carolinians will look like imbeciles. But if Nikki defeats Alvin, South Carolinians will look like, well, imbeciles. Think Great Britain could trade us Bermuda for South Carolina, and we'll overlook BP's little accident in the gulf? Just looking for a harmonious solution here.

156 119 Anyone else hear that clip on Beck, the one with the FBI agent who infiltrated Bernadine and crew?   How could that be around since the 80's and be ignored?

Didn't hear it but must be Larry Grathwol.  Said Ayers felt up to 25 million would need to be liquidated in america in order to bring in his brand of communism.
Look up Grathwol, there's a great Youtube video of his recollections from when he infiltrated the weather underground. 

Obama and Ayers are tied at the hip. Read Prairie Fire, a 1/3 of it is about the Palestinian cause, and Obama is implementing policies right out of this treatise.
Perhaps he will implement the rest of the WU's insanity?

164 Yeah, well, asshole, since I don't have a horse in that race, I don't give a shit.

So why don't you STFU and take your dumb ass troll self somewhere else.

165 BTW, Go fuck yourself, Vic. Like you never make goofs here. You jackass.

I just getting sick of people trashing SC because of what some asshole politicians are doing. 

So who are you socking for since I don't care to go researching post hashes?

166 Damn. 1-1 tie.  Since Mexico was probably expecting a win, this still feels pretty good.

167

I empathize with your embarrassment, in view of your predicament. But that doesn't exuse your snottiness. Get used to it, you old coot. People will be cracking jokes about South Carolinians now, just like they joked about Floridians after the 2000 elections. Try to be a good sport, instead of such an uptight, old geezer.

BTW, you're smarter than me, huh? Yeah, right, I haven't seen any evidence of that.

(chuckling here)

168 Fear the LOL, fear it!

169 I empathize with your embarrassment, in view of your predicament. But that doesn't exuse your snottiness.

Well after a short bit of research I will offer "Just a Thought". It seems that most of the posts I find from you are just some kind of argument to stir up trouble, start a flame war, or in general just being an asshole troll.

So I offer a counter offer. Fuck you and the asshole dumb ass State you come from. I'm sure the IQ went down 50% went you showed up in the State.

170

Oh yeah, that was clever and effective, Vic. Whoa, now I'm really impressed with your intellect.

You've gone from sophomoric to juvenile to infantile in three posts. Care to try for braindead?

C'mon, dimwit, go for it.

(chuckling here)

171 Has anyone linked this Rolling Stone article?

The Spill, The Scandal and the President
The inside story of how Obama failed to crack down on the corruption of the Bush years – and let the world's most dangerous oil company get away with murder

172 Blago live tweeting is not at all likely since he doesn't know how to type, tweet or even email, as seen in his "leadership" (in)ability as Rock Solid Team Captain on Trump's show.

What Blago knows how to do, is to do as he is told, and to an extent to "delegate" as in naming someone else ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE for accomplishing his own tasks.

Blago is an amicable person, much more so than Obama.

173

BTW, you're smarter than me, huh? Yeah, right, I haven't seen any evidence of that. (chuckling here)

So you're blind as well as stupid.

174

Yeah, maverick muse, and anyone can see that you're one of the intellectuals here.

Mind your own business, you schmuck.

175 Looks like this thread could use an anvil salesman. It will work. Wrap the horn with some super duper plastic gasket material, drop it in the hole & poof, no more spill. Let me be clear: it might work.

176 Maybe much ado over nothing:  FTC dodges Drudge Tax questions

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) leaders are attempting to distance themselves from controversial proposals published in a May 24 working paper on "reinventing" the media. The report presents a suite of options through which government could step in and supposedly rescue journalism, most notably by imposing taxes. A fee could be levied on websites such as the Drudge Report that link to the best news of the day, or a tax could be imposed on consumer electronics such as iPads, laptops and Kindles. Funds collected would be redistributed to traditional media outlets.
