1 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

2 Mr. Obama calls them “investments,” but this is really venture socialism.

LOL, loves me some DeMint. Gonna have to write him a letter begging him not to retire after this term.

3 I'm pretty sure we are not allowed to use the term "socialism" in connection with this administration, if I'm reading my Establishment Republican playbook correctly. 

Shame on Jim DeMint!

4 Venture Socialism

No no no no no no no *gasps for breath* no no no no, no damn it, no!

5 The obligatory "Jim DeMint caused the recession." -- Alvin Greene (D-Jupiter)

6 I really, really like Jim DeMint. It's amazing how pleasant, down-home and folksy he sounds even when he is ripping the shit out of the SCOAMF regime. Now he's presidential material.

7 Lots more of them than just Solyndra too.What a SCoaMF the whole administration is.

8 I think after Rubio, he's Romney's first choice for VP.

9  you need to look at these polls right now please.

I love DeMint.....he sure can 'turn a phrase"

Romney/Demint? interesting...

11 I would think liberals would be citing government investment success stories to counter the criticism.  I haven't read any.  Even if there were a few it isn't worth the loss on all the others.  Any alternative energy company that has a reasonable chance of success will be funded, there is simply no justification for blowing taxpayer dollars on any of this.

12 Venture Socialism is not the hill to die on.

13 First "Crony Socialism", now "Venture Socialism".

Time to tell bho & minions to "venture" with their own cash and leave OURS alone.

17 8 I think after Rubio, he's Romney's first choice for VP

Well, he'd better shape up then since Mitt was quick to distance himself from the "socialist" label others in the debate were using to describe Obama's policies.  Can't have any of that kind of talk now, can we?  Next thing you know he'll be calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme!  The horror, the horror!

18 I really like DeMint.  He would make a great VP.  An actual conservative to go with our chosen RINO.

19

But, does anyone think that "venture socialism" might maybe become a catchphrase? I do.

No.  Can't go using language like that.

Well, it is racist to point this kind of thing out.

But not if Bush Did It.

It is interesting how these idiot liberals comingle every little thing they do into some sort of racist soup...

It is racist not to drive an electric car, for instance.

See, that was easy. You can call a guy, or woman, who doesn't drive an electric car a racist.

Why? Because.

The real reason: the leftist philosophy of tribalism

Christ Almighty they are weird.

33

Nice phrase ...

 

34 We don't have enough DeMint's.

What we lack most of all are leaders that have a consistent backbone.

35 Venture socialism - outstanding. Fascism with a flair.

36 Any combo of Cain, Demint and Rubio I think I could really support. Love them all.

37 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
Watergate did not have a body count.
Obama sold weapons to a murderous criminal organization.

38 I don't think the s-word is going to harm Obama much.  No one knows what socialism is (most people), and so they just assume it's name calling silliness.  Or, they assume that it's not socialism unless the government owns EVERYTHING.

PS: Romney said a few months ago when he launched his campaign that "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy."  That's pretty close to socialism.

39 Posted by: phoenixgirl other work computer at September 29, 2011 04:38 PM

forecasts for 3Q GDP are in the 1.5% range.

78 For some bizarre reason, since Obama the left and establishment right act as if socialist is some sort of universal pejorative, devoid of meaning.  I guess "fascist" has become so (although thanks to Jonah Goldberg, it doesn't really get used by the lefties all that much).

79 #178, it's arguable that certain words, socialst, Marxist, reflexively close certain people's ears.  "Venture socialist" still uses the s-word, but may trick people into having it sink it.

"The glass-and-metal building that Solyndra LLC began erecting alongside Interstate 880 in Fremont, California, in September 2009 was something the Silicon Valley area hadnÂ’t seen in years: a new factory.

It wasnÂ’t just any factory. When it was completed at an estimated cost of $733 million, including proceeds from a $535 million U.S. loan guarantee, it covered 300,000 square feet, the equivalent of five football fields. It had robots that whistled Disney tunes, spa-like showers with liquid-crystal displays of the water temperature, and glass-walled conference rooms."

It took me about thirty seconds to find out on the Internet that hydroelectric power is the cheapest source of energy at $.03 per kWh.   Nuclear and coal are second at $.04 per kWh.   Wind comes in at $.08 per kWh.   But solar comes in at a whopping $.22 per kWh, or something more than seven times as expensive as hydroelectric power.   Hydroelectric power -- dams for you Democrats out there -- is renewable energy too, but you never here the leftists plumping for more dams, because dams aren't environmentally friendly, I guess.   Or, more probably, for Obama, they aren't "cool" enough for the "cool kids."   Dams don't count as "green" technology, you see.   They just work.  

In any event, it seems pretty clear to me that solar is a bad investment.   Indeed, I really didn't need the data to know that -- by definition if an investment is worth making, private investors would already be making it.   And, conversely, if an investment requires government subsidies, it's because the marketplace, filled with savvy people acting on good information and putting their own money at risk, has already decided that its a bad investment.

Government needs to get out of the business of subsidizing selected businesses, period.   It's bad economics, since they invariably will only subsidize bad investments that the private sector has concluded aren't going to produce good returns; and it's bad for our civilization, since it's so obviously an opportunity for graft and corruption.

Basically, it's because for lefties, "fascist" has no meaning. There's some authoritarianism there, but that's about it.

"I often like to ask college kids, except for the murder, bigotry, and genocide, what is it exactly about Nazism that you don't like? And they can't name anything. But, conservatives can come up with all sorts of stuff. They were socialists. They wanted free health care. They hated Christianity. They hated tradition. They were statists at the end of the day. All of those things are inherent to fascism..." -- Jonah Goldberg

You don't say anything.  Most of the time you post off-topic crap, most of which is to foster third-partyism.  You've stated outright that that is your goal, to sow the seeds of conservative discontent toward Republicans.

I won't give you all personal information and you don't like that.

Why not?  I'm not looking for anything stalkworthy.  Just something simple:
How old are you?
Did you go to college? What did you major in?
Do you have a job?  What kind of work is it and what kind of industry is it in?

Nobody on this website is as secretive as you are for a very simple reason, you aren't interested in even the kind of low-level friendship that comes with posting on a blog.

You bitch and whine and complain whenever confronted. I get hounded about being anti-lawyer all the time.  I defend myself and take it and move on.  But you can't stand a bit of it.

no bitch, come on. you threaten to reveal crap about someone dont leave now. come on, stop being a pussy

145 Uh guys, are we all done with the socialist/fascist Obama thingy? And on to nasty butt sex? I'm kind of a newbie here, and not quite up to and in tune with when the zeitgeist (God I love that word, hope  I didn't misuse it) of the post changed. Are there any pointers/ signs as to when the post goes in the shitter and I can do something else like bake potatoes or worry about Armageddon? Just a new moron looking for direction.

Venture Socialism is Gold. It should appeal to everyone that can read. We still need a nice slogan for those who can't or don't.

 

or the 52% that WON'T

those are the ones that boggle my mind.

ewww....I'm a very religious girl.

Which religion and denomination?

148

Hmmm. I wonder who they bought all that stuff from. I'd like to know if the whole thing wasn't basically just a way to funnel money to other cronies.

Well, yeah.  And if I were someone who had invested my actual money in this venture (not just a screwed over taxpayer) and lost all my money due to bankruptcy because of crap like this, I'd be hunting someone down.  Building a factory like that is so far beyond absurd, it is practically criminal.

When someone with the hash "k1rwm" posts a comment....

150 I'm in my car picking up my kids idiot

151 For those playing at home, who really would prefer to ignore "curious" or whatever personality is dominant that day, the GreaseMonkey script AoSHQ INCIF really works.  The only time I see its comments now is when someone is inconsiderate enough to quote it.  (You do have to know how to edit the script to add different hashes.  Someone with scripting skills should update it to be more moron-friendly, NTTIAWWT.)  All I see is a little grey line of text, kinda like a slime trail from a slug--but no word salad.

Dick Morris Panders To Conservatives With This Story
No doubt conservatives will bite. [Ben]

Dick Morris has been wrong so many times you would have to be terminal stupid to believe anything he said.

LOL LOL

 "very religious girls" *snort* do not find that level of ghey pron perfectly normal regarless of age. Freak.

Just admit you're an old fat ugly dude with a lace panty fetish and you would LOVE to be a young catholic school girl. It's really very transparent. Yuck.

155 I still think it was her mom that talked to Bachman.

156 I get hounded about being anti-lawyer all the time.

AmishDude,
In the interest of accuracy, I hate you because of your stupid hat and the beard.  But mostly the stupid hat. 

157 Hmmm. I wonder who they bought all that stuff from. I'd like to know if the whole thing wasn't basically just a way to funnel money to other cronies.

The part of their bankruptcy filing that might say who got what and who's owed what doesn't seem to be online, but I did think it was interesting that their bankruptcy lawyer had been paid THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS—as of his petitioning to be recognized as their representative in the bankruptcy case—and his firm gets as much as $3000/hour to work on it from then on.

So, next to Solyndra's building contractor, McDermott, Will & Emery has probably been given the largest number of your stolen dollars.

And they've given a lot of those dollars "back" to the GOP (they didn't become majority-D donors until 2008 (oh hey they like Scott Brown)), so...tough shit, serfs.

158 hahaha dagny she's either a big fat old dude or a very young, ugly girl......

159 101 that is not true at all, I immediately apologized profusely.....

161 guys,
the problem isn't even solydra, you got jon stewart and the times et al out there saying that the green economy is still a legit investment because all the other billions we've sunk into ventures haven't gone belly up like it did with this "startup".  but ace may have already posted that the green investment has cost us something like $4million per job?!  those are astounding sums of money, and makes all of us much, much poorer ever time this is done.  these are simple laws of economics.  you plunder money from the taxpayer and build a $1 billion airport in the middle of nowhere that gets no traffic.  it's the same problem, inefficient investment makes us poorer, no question about it.  heck, all this stupid political pay-off capital would have revived the economy much better as a helicopter drop sort of distribution.  that's effing keynesian.  why did they not do that?  because it wouldn't have gone to the people who needed paying off.  it's evil, it is indeed socialism, and it will make everyone less well off.  those jokers on the left will never acknowledge that because it will prevent them from doing the same crap in the future.

Interesting what you perceive as a threat.  It's not a threat, plain and simple. 

but hey, it's a free country.

<strike>venture</strike> MISadventure socialism.

TFIFY

164 [ so much for typing tags in manually.... *sigh* ]

165 The troll that always claims to be sending things to the FBI trying to claim its post couldn't be taken as a threat.  Hilarious.

166 Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

167 535 million. That is more than all the tax money that you and everyone you ever knew or will ever know will pay in taxes in their entire life. Burned up. Gone..

168 "Billions more have been wasted by politicians betting on favored companies and making Washington bigger, using the brute force of government to force liberal preferences into the economy."

I can think of another example.

Electronic medical records in the HITECH part of ARRA.

Google "healthcare IT failure"

Oh, did I mention the National Program of IT in the NHS (NPFIT) just went bust, at a waste of only 13 billion pounds Sterling?

169 In the same theme ...... "Cottage Government"

The entire government should fit in a cottage. (shower optional)

170 "Venture Capitalism"

Appearing on the bottom of stop signs in your neighborhood soon.

171 Venture socialism.

Hey, it's not just a job, it's a venture.

172 I used the term "venture socialism" in a letter to "Forbes" in 2006. I'm claiming credit, dang it.
