Well we knew it was coming

Even though the DOJ assholes have lost one case already they wish to double down on SC. This tie they will not have the shitty 9^th circuit to help them.  Jan Brewer on F&F talking about her meeting with Obama over this shit. She says Obama was “condescending” and that Obama said the borders were under control. IOW he is a liar in private as well as public.

7 Thank goodness it's Friday.

8

Let's see how this asshole fares in court. From the early stories he got that $1.5M salary through corruption.

Contracts obtained through illegal activity are not enforceable.

9

Senate passes budget busting spending bill and calls it a cut

10

DOJ have approved new SC 7th district. Dickhead Hartpoollian plans to sue anyway.

Grounds for suit?  ClyburnÂ’s district is too black. I have some news for him, the courts want it that way.  This new 7^th district comes largely out of 1^st and 5^th anyway. What he wants to do is tie it up in court through the 2012 election. Hartpoolian is a real asshole and the only reason he gets anything is the press and the courts. 

The only Democrats left in SC are the aged yellow dogs who are dying out and blacks. And blacks are weaning themselves off of the Democrat plantation in increasing numbers. Look at district 1, last election a black conservative Republican was elected. He will likely be reelected in massive numbers in 2012.

11

You know who this helps? HH takes issue with George Will's editorial bashing his man.

12

And thatÂ’s it for the news. F&F still beating the shit out of the Cain crap this morning. Must not be much out there today. How was trick or treat for the M&MÂ’s yesterday? I only had a total of 8 kids come by and 5 of them were in cars coming from outside the neighborhood. We talked about this yesterday. Family sizes are getting smaller and smaller, many with no children at all.

13

But lo, Gretchen had to quote the stupid TX poll that says Cain is beating Perry in TX.  LOL, she has the gall to say “the press is tearing down PerryÂ’s campaign”. Who does she think she is?  That poll is the worst of all the polls, it is a University/News poll.

14 I closed out the highs and lows for the month of Oct yesterday. The average daily high temp was 5° lower than last Oct. Admittedly, last Oct was slightly higher than the previous year but not that much.

The temps may bounce up and down in some of these months like this past July which was exceptionally hot, but the long term trend since I have been keeping track has been consistently down.

15 Good morning,  Vic!

I only had about 20 trick-or-treaters total, in groups of  2 or 3, with parents out in the street.  When we moved in here 30 years ago I used to have 50-75 kids.  Of course,  part of this is that the neighborhood's children are grown and live elsewhere with families of their own.

What I notice is that children are no longer by themselves,  but always have a parent following along.  When I was a kid in the late 50's,  we would wander all over neighborhoods all by ourselves and were just told to be home by 9 PM.  I think it was a lot more fun then.  Also,  we always looked for the people who handed out home-made treats like caramel apples and popcorn balls, which of course now parents are instructed to throw away. 

16 We had maybe a hundred kids altogether.  Here too they are always with a parent or group of parents walking along with them.  You cannot be too careful these days.

17 Also,  we always looked for the people who handed out home-made treats like caramel apples and popcorn balls, which of course now parents are instructed to throw away.

I would love to have one of those old caramel apples. I noticed that what the kids had in their bags was mostly the little miniature candy bars which is what I was giving out.

18 Most of the kids had mommy with them here as well. But most of them were very young as well so you expect mommy to be with them.

19 Which of you bitches is my mother?

Is there any creature more depraved than a Pali?  Any decent, reasonable person is disgusted by them.  Anyone who stands up for those rats is himself an enemy of civilization. 

For all its ugliness, the world was a better place when men were less squeamish about dealing out harsh justice to such scum.  If they were gone no one would miss them. 

The Palis do offer one useful service, though.  They are a reminder of what Islam looks like when it is strong enough to take on a real civilization.  Once there are enough muz in the West, all our lands will be like Israel.  Let's hope we have the stones, collectively, to do what we forbid the Israelis to do.

23 Here we go with the idiot government commercials again: the poor girl bothered constantly by her boyfriend (dressed as a cell phone). And... He wants naked pics! See, She's Always the Victim, and Always Will Be. She is manipulated to give nude photos... Girls NEVER manipulate BOYS with their bodies, OH NO! Snd then there's the girl that demonstrates her determination to go to college by... Skateboarding. How about STUDYING, sweetie? Or the boy showing his determination to succeed by... Vandalizing a wall with spray paint?

24 Although Newt endorsing crap and tax with Nancy is enough to kick him off my list, he has a lot more problems that just that.

I urge all to do some research before defaulting to that slug.

25 I regret to report....

I guess, we'll just have to un-elect him, next November.

26 Vic, (And I say this as someone that was all in for Perry until Perry melted down) Don't you think that, really, it's all over on the GOP side?

27 CoolCzech at November 01, 2011 07:45 AM

Probably should wait til, I don't know, maybe, some votes are actually cast or something like that?

28
Wretchard has a great post on Israeli settlers' being forced to engage vigilantism against the pali animals.

I read him almost daily. He's one of the few true intellectuals writing interesting, original stuff on the internet.

29 No I do not see it as being "all over". The Perry "meltdown" as you put it is all media hype and largely driven by worthless "news" polls.

I still have both Perry and Cain on my short list. Too many morons are allowing the MFM to chose our candidate again this time. I urge you not to join that group.

30 good to see you all Morons. Had about twenty kids but we live in the back of beyond so that was up from last year. It is very interesting here in SA. The neighborhood we rented in for a while would get vans full of kids from the "south side" who would pull up, drop the kids off in the neighborhood and then park in the playground parking lot. The parents sat around and drank beer and were obnoxious, and the kids swarmed the streets. Most had no costumes and used trash sacks to collect candy. I went through twenty pounds of candy that night and couldn't figure out where these kids came from until my husband came back from trick or treat duty and described the scene in the parking lot.

31 Most had no costumes and used trash sacks to collect candy.

I had one "older" kid come yesterday with no costume. I asked him if he was "trick or treating" since he was with a younger kid who was in a costume and he said yes.

32 Gabe, are you going to do a straw poll for Oct (early Nov)?

33 Well M&Ms, the salt ain't gonna mine itself. See you on the DOOOOOOM thread.

34 I had six kids come by last night out in the country. Only one girl, who was dressed like Scarlett O'Hara. She was lovely.

35

I still have both Perry and Cain on my short list.

As do I. I liked Cain before Perry entered the race. I so wanted to believe that Perry was the one, but alas, it was not to be. And I still remember that link from the sidebar a few weeks ago where some GOP bundler I'd never heard of said that it had already been decided: Mittens was it in '012.

Thanks a lot for listening to the voice of the people, Rinse Prius. I'm about ready for a takeover of the GOP by the Tea Party, hostile or not.

36 Halloween in the ghoulish House of Saud

Saudi Arabia is the initiator and major sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islamofasist Jihad (including al-Qaeda sponsorship), having spawned their own version of a Sunni offshoot as means, Wahabbi doctrines of absolute intolerance for all things deemed infidel, first in order to usurp all of Islam conquered under Saudi control and globally "legitimized" by Britain/US, and then conquering the world as Caliphate. Any real sorcery is vested therein. Amnesty International publicizes timely updates per Saudi death sentence. Note well that the Western media took no notice from Sept. 20th except to acknowledge another Saudi execution of a convicted sorcerer making a Nov. 1 Drudge headline link after the fact.

Daily Mail UK, by Oliver Pickup

Last December, Saudi Arabia was one of a minority of states that voted against a UN general assembly resolution calling for the worldwide moratorium on executions.

44 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia this year
    Alarming rise in killings since end of Ramadan
    Seven killed since Sept 5, when executions restarted
    140 prisoners facing the death penalty
The known total for 2011 is 17 more than for the whole of 2010.

"The moment man" was publicly beheaded in a Saudi Arabian car park for being a 'sorcerer' on September 20. Crouched on his knees and blindfolded, Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki was executed in a car park Medina, in the west of the country, as dozens looked. Abdul Hamid, Sudanese, had been arrested in 2005 after he was entrapped by the Mutawa'een (religious police).  Hamid is believed to have been the 44th person executed in Saudi Arabia this year - and the 11th foreign national.  He was asked to concoct a spell that would cause the officer's father to leave his second wife, then arrested and beaten, forced to admit to acts of sorcery. In a secret trial, where he was not allowed legal representation, he was sentenced to death by the General Court in Medina in March 2007. At the time of his arrest, English language Saudi daily The Saudi Gazette ran an article entitled Magic Maids which said that 'we must face up to the threats from some maids and servants and their satanic games of witchcraft and sorcery, their robbery, murder, entrapment of husbands, corruption of children and other countless stories of crime that have been highlighted by both experts and victims of these crimes'.

Lebanese TV host Ali Hussain Sibat, who was sentenced to death over making predictions of the future on his show, had also been scheduled to be beheaded, not reprieved.

Saudi Arabia 17 March 2010. “Sorcery” death sentence upheld: ‘Ali Hussain Sibat, who is 46 and has five children, was a presenter on a TV show on the Lebanese satellite TV station Sheherazade, where he gave advice and predictions about the future. He was arrested by the Mutawa’een (religious police) on charges of “sorcery” in May 2008 while he was in Saudi Arabia to perform a form of Muslim pilgrimage, the umra. Ali Hussain Sibatwas sentenced to death by a court in Madina on 9 November 2009 after secret court hearings where he had no legal representation or assistance. Amnesty International is concerned that the charge of “sorcery” and others arose solely from the peaceful exercise of his right to freedom of expression. March 10, a court in Madina upheld the death sentence. The judges in a statement said that he deserved to be sentenced to death because he had practised “sorcery” publicly for several years before millions of viewers and that his actions made him an infidel. The court said also that there would be no way to verify that his repentance, if he should repent, would be sincere and that imposing the death sentence would deter other people from engaging in “sorcery” at a time when, the court said, there is an increase in the number of “foreign magicians” entering Saudi Arabia.

37 Anyone who stands up for those rats is himself an enemy of civilization. The first time this really hit home for me was in the late '90s. I was mailing my tax return at the regional post office (Merrifield in northern Virginia) on the evening of the due date. There was a line of cars around the block. There were a bunch of whitebread college kids and a few professor-looking shitheads in the grass between the sidewalk and curb demonstrating in support of the pali animals. The gist of their message was that our taxes go to Israel as foreign aid, and the Israelis are engaging in genocide. WTF? I was in that car line for about six or seven minutes. After the first minute or so, their message sunk in, and it made me sick to my stomach because the suicide bombings from the intifada were still fresh in my mind. A minute or so after that, I opened my passenger side window and started taunting the fuckers and telling them that I hoped suicide bombers would hit their classrooms and kill their families in their own homes. I am pretty sure that I wasn't the only one because I could see them engaging with other drivers in my rearview mirror. I have no idea whether it got uglier later that evening, but I never saw another protest around that post office on tax day again. What's hilarious is that later that evening, I felt a little badly about what I had said about suicide bombers hitting their classrooms and their homes. That was then. Nowadays, I really do wish death on these motherfuckers.

38 Hey !.. I know what let's do !

Let's store energy in big, giant flywheels.

What could go wrong?

39 Thanks a lot for listening to the voice of the people, Rinse Prius. I'm about ready for a takeover of the GOP by the Tea Party, hostile or not.

I started with 4 or 5 on my short list and it has gradually winnowed down. Bachmann was the last to drop off it when she finally when full bat shit crazy over the Gardacil thing.

That was too bad too as she was the best choice for "most conservative". That is left to equally crazy Ron Paul and can't get any traction Santorum.

I kinda thought it was over for Perry, but then I see the new Rasmussen poll that shows him beating Obama 46% to 42%, and I think maybe there's still a chance.

I think Perry is in it for the long run, and if he can get covered by the press in each of the individual states as he does his stump speeches, he may still surprise us.  Aside from that looney speech yesterday, he's usually pretty good.  I'm not sure how many voters have really seen his debate performances.

42 For all his foibles, Newt is beginning to ring some folks bells. If he just hadn't smooched Nancy on the couch.

Posted by: Doctor Fish at November 01, 2011 07:31 AM (Lt/Za)

If we want to have a candidate, we are going to have to get past something, be it Cain's golden tongue, Mitt's record, Perry's heart, Newt's foibles, or Bachmann's Crazy.

43 Well, Vic & Dick, If Perry is still in the game when the vote comes to CT, he's got mine. But I'm not betting too much $ on that eventuality...

44 I still have both Perry and Cain on my short list. Too many morons are allowing the MFM to chose our candidate again this time. I urge you not to join that group.
Posted by: Vic at November 01, 2011 07:48 AM

Same here. The "scandals" being run down about both strike me as ultimately trivial, particularly when compared to the stupendous pile of felonies the stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure has racked up.

Compare both Cain and Perry to the Repub opposition and the story is similar. The Newt strikes me as lazy (what has he done since quitting the House? Talk a lot, that's what), Romney is -- I'll be polite -- inconsistent in his stands, and the rest slide downhill from there.

I'm sure Ace will have some new accusations to heap on Cain today, but that's hardly a disqualifier in my book. Sad that he joins hands with Bullshitico, Tepid Air and the MFM on Hate-on-Cain-and-Perry routine.

45 Well even though CT is not until April 24 there is still a good chance since everything in front of Mar 1 is "proportional delegates".

46 @43: the polls keep changing; I still think that the country will be so desperate by 11/2012, it would a elect a ham sandwich.

47 I'm going back to bed, still feel like shit today. Y'all have fun.

49 i am not in love with any of the Republican candidates.  but i will vote for whomever is the GOP nominee.  Obama has to go!

50 As bad as the choices are now they are still better than 2000 and 2008. Go back and look at who we had to chose from.

51 If we want to have a candidate, we are going to have to get past something, be it Cain's golden tongue, Mitt's record, Perry's heart, Newt's foibles, or Bachmann's Crazy.

I would go with Bachmann's crazy before Newt.

52 Here's a little ditty from Mark Steyn that makes good sense.

http://bit.ly/s2rxcz

I recommend it to Ace in particular.

It's always a good idea to keep priorities in order.

Oh, and Vic: I thought Perry was getting The Treatment here at the HQ a few weeks ago. His crime, like Cain's (until the Big Sex Scandal!!11!!!), seemed to be that he's some rube who isn't a, you know, real politician who can't make the sale the way Mutt Romney can.

53 vic, I don't think Bachmann can go the distance.  just my opinion.

54

Well, I finally made it inland today after the Snowpocalypse over the weekend here in CT.  Thankfully, I had a job in Bridgeport yesterday.  Rarely am I thankful to go to Bridgeport, but there you have it. 

What a freakin' mess.  It's going to be weeks cleaning it up.

55 Happy November 1. I love this time of year. Thanksgiving in a few weeks and Christmas to look forward to soon. Haven't had much to say about election news. We all know it is going to get ugly for any of the conservative candidates (actually any republican). Too exhausting to get too high and too low with news and polls. Sometimes I just have to get away from all of it.

56 I'm sure Ace will have some new accusations to heap on Cain today, but that's hardly a disqualifier in my book.

I'm really not sure why ace dislikes Cain so much.  There isn't really much there to dislike.  He doesn't really have much of a record, which is his big problem.  The guy steps on his dick a lot, but so does Perry.

57 Oh, and Vic: I thought Perry was getting The Treatment here at the HQ a few weeks ago.

Oh the "moderate-conservative" Romney clowns have given him the treatment but I don't think that includes ace. There aren't that many Romney people on here although the few we have make a LOT of noise. Ace was originally for T-Paw but switched to Perry after T-Paw dropped out.

He hasn't said much lately about who he supports but I don't recall a post really attacking Perry the way he went after Cain yesterday.

58 In good news, the Wisconsin Conceal Carry law in effective today.  Also, the Wisconsin legislature is taking up a "Castle Doctrine" law in the assembly today, and possibly the senate tomorrow.

61

I'm really not sure why ace dislikes Cain so much. 

 

He's obviously a racist.

I kid, of course.

That said, this blog has been my go place for getting info on our candidates.  I'm not completely settled, but I'm still leaning towards Perry based on everything I've seen and read.

62 Gonna go fix up some veg beef soup in the crock pot. Back later folks.

63 Liking Cain does not mean you have to throw reality out the window.  And there are some of us, and I think that might include Ace, that think Cain simply will never get enough votes to be the nominee, much less be able to beat Obama.

It seems the Cain folks are quite willing to toss aside his problems.  His 9-9-9 plan is a disaster.  Nothing even similar to that could even get out of committee much less pass either house of Congress.

Yes, he's likable.. but likable only gets ya so far in politics.

64 Doc, are you tellin me that it's 8:25? Damn, i'm late for school!

65 forget cain, he's a rookie

66 You don't like the idea of Newt, sitting on a couch with Pelosi?

It is very interesting here in SA. The neighborhood we rented in for a while would get vans full of kids from the "south side" who would pull up, drop the kids off in the neighborhood and then park in the playground parking lot.

Halloween was the one day of the year I really disliked living in Del Rio. Busloads of kids from across the border, bumper to bumper traffic with parents driving while the kids walked, kids with no costumes, ADULTS with no costumes and no kids with them, etc.

The vibe was just...off.

Last year was great here, but this year wasn't as good because it was Monday. Tons of people come into the neighborhood because it's big and has sidewalks. Our street is pretty quiet, though. My husband was disappointed that there weren't more kids. The kids had to do a lot of walking because so many houses didn't have their lights on.

70 Liking Cain does not mean you have to throw reality out the window.  And there are some of us, and I think that might include Ace, that think Cain simply will never get enough votes to be the nominee, much less be able to beat Obama.

Ace explicitly stated that he doesn't like Cain.

Not exactly new thinking.

73 Ace explicitly stated that he doesn't like Cain. Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at November 01, 2011 08:41 AM (FkKjr) I like him as a person but not as a candidate

74 Suppose you (God Forbid) were a Liberal, seeing Pelosi sitting on a couch with Newt. Newt is serious standard-bearer material except when he undermines himself because of his shitty temperament. I met some dude from the Atlanta area during the "Contract with America" campaign whose family was friends with Gingrich. Newt was a generation ahead of this guy, so, he would be friends with the guy's parents and uncles. I have no idea whether this is true or not, but this guy told me that Gingrich can get really cranky. At the time, it sounded to me like how hypoglycemics can get. Now, I wonder if maybe it's that fake assburger's syndrome. A couple years later, Newt showed that face when he pulled defeat from the jaws of victory over the '95 government shutdown. He got in front of cameras and whined about how he was going ahead with the shutdown because Clinton made him and Dole sit in the back of AF1.

75 Abbas says he will never recognize a Jewish state.

But Islamic republics?  Hey, that's different.

76 It seems the Cain folks are quite willing to toss aside his problems.  His 9-9-9 plan is a disaster.  Nothing even similar to that could even get out of committee much less pass either house of Congress. Yes, he's likable.. but likable only gets ya so far in politics. This. My self-worth is not so tied up with a fucking political candidate that I am willing to overlook his many, MANY missteps. The Herman Cain that is, is not the Herman Cain that so many here WANT him to be. Yes, I like his story. I like the idea of a candidate like him. Throwing a fucking hissy fit when people point out his very real, very obvious shortcomings doesn't help your case.

77 For example: I want Rick Perry to be a better candidate than he is. I recognized and was disgusted by his shittastic gaffes and debate showings, and I said so. I still prefer him, but I don't blame commenters here for pointing out Perry's flaws. I blame Perry.

78 Suppose you (God Forbid) were a Liberal, seeing Pelosi sitting on a couch with Newt.

If he had sat on the couch and lectured her on what a scam AGW was and how that bill of her's would destroy America I would have said OK, he's cool. Instead he supported that POS. Look att eh 8 Republicans who voted for that POS, DIABLOs all.

No Republican could support that bill and call themselves a Republican, much less a conservative.

And that isn't his only problem. He has been out there THIS year actively pandering to Hispanic groups talking up the latest version of amnesty, which he of course, denies is amnesty. 

He also supported Dede Scruntacosa, and attacked the Ryan plan as "social engineering" when the Party was trying to get it through congress, 

And on top of all of that since it has been so long since he was actually in office his record is outdated and all we have to go on his rhetoric, much like Cain. And with Newt we know that he can not be trusted past the front door of his house. 

In short, he is worthless. I'll take crazy Bachmann over him, Gardacil and all.

79 Somebody made a visual of Zombie's list of OWS supporters. Link goes to Don Surber's place.

80 I still prefer him, but I don't blame commenters here for pointing out Perry's flaws. I blame Perry.

I look at it like once again we have to vote for the lesser of the evils, even in the primary. As for the debates I don't elevate those to the all encompassing crap that some people do. I look it like just another MFM hit job.

But he does need to learn FYNQ, and so does Cain.

81 …and attacked the Ryan plan as "social engineering" when the Party was trying to get it through congress … I consider this yet another of his self-undermining, cranky outbursts.

82

We had very few T&Ters last night in my neck of the woods.  We rarely get many because we're at the far end of a loop road and our driveway is longer than those of our neighbors; and also 'cuz, you know... New Hampshire.  If you don't live in an actual city you don't get a ton of kids.

But this year was on the low side even for us.  Usually I have at least one hour of the three allotted for Trick or Treating where I'm answering the door every few minutes, and usually to groups of four or five kids at a time.  This year I only had about half an hour when I got any volume of kiddos; I spent the rest of my time watching "Halloween: H2O" on AMC and screaming at Jamie Lee Curtis to just bury her fireaxe "in Michael's head, fer Chrissake!  KILL HIM!"

I blame the snow.  I suspect parents were keeping their kids close to home in a tight circumference so they could get home earlier than usual and not be out in the cold too long.

83

I consider this yet another of his self-undermining, cranky outbursts.

Sad state we're in when I think "still might be a better way of dealing with foreign leaders than bowing to them".

84 Â…and attacked the Ryan plan as "social engineering" when the Party was trying to get it through congress Â…

I think this was an instance of not managing soundbytes well.  Newt should have known better than to go down that road, but he accepted a ridiculous premise (I believe the interviewer said it was social engineering and Newt agreed).  I can't imagine he thought it was a good idea to attack the Ryan plan.

85 I blame the snow.  I suspect parents were keeping their kids close to home in a tight circumference so they could get home earlier than usual and not be out in the cold too long.

Parents in general are more overbearing nowadays.  The child leash is becoming tragically common.  Halloween probably won't survive in its current form much longer.

86 The child leash is becoming tragically common.  Halloween probably won't survive in its current form much longer.

I think there are a lot more crazy people out there now than there used to be when I was a kid in the 50s.

As for Halloween/trick or treat, I think it is going away, but mainly because there just aren't very many kids anymore. Keep in mind that "trick or treat" is relatively new and is an American phenomena.

87 On Monday, Cain — who completed a round of Washington appearances amid a frenzy of media attention — labeled the charges a witch hunt.

Erin Matson, a vice president for the National Organization for Women, said the women in question should be given the benefit of the doubt.

"It is deeply insulting that this is being called political," Matson said. "Sexual harassment allegations are always about a woman who is simply trying to go to work."

I wonder if that's what Erin said about all the dirt on Bill Clinton or any other Democrat. And for that matter where was NOD (National Organization of Dykes) when Sarah Palin was being viciously attacked on a daily basis? 

Still, for some the desire to oust Obama could trump most anything else.

Because Dims and the non-biased media didn't feel that way about Bush

88 Snow and Monday--tough combo. We didn't have snow--actually had perfect weather that wasn't too warm for costumes and wasn't cold either. And still fewer kids.

89 @ 92, What leash? The leash of common sense? I've got two 5 year-olds, a 6 year-old and a 7 year-old. How the hell do you justify letting little kids roam the streets at night? If they're too old to have their dad walk with them (drinking Maker's Mark), then they're too old for trick-or-treating, in my opinion.

90 Our neighborhood is dangerous at night...because the sidewalks are uneven and torn up by roots every 3 feet. And I thought we might lose my youngest in the driveway cracks of this one house...

91 What leash? The leash of common sense?

I mean the physical leash that some parents put on their kids.

Somehow a lot of things that used to work in the 50s stopped working in the 80s.

92 If they're too old to have their dad walk with them (drinking Maker's Mark), then they're too old for trick-or-treating, in my opinion.

I used to keep a bottle of wine and cups to hand out to the dads when I lived in a townhouse development.

I used to get the occasional teen-agers trick-or-treating and found myself imposing the rule from my childhood: no costume, no treat.

I hate the security harness. Its a child...not your damn pet Lab.

I despise it for that exact same reason.

94 Wretchard has a great post on Israeli settlers' being forced to engage vigilantism against the pali animals. Several paragraphs into it, he lays out an airtight explanation of how the left is destroying civilization by undermining the nation-state.

That was a great piece...I kinda sorta knew that sort of thing must be going on by now, but wasn't aware it had gotten to the point of mosque burning...no surprise there at all.

I wonder how long before this sort of stuff makes its way to our shores. The leftists here are working just as hard to destroy our sense of community and nationhood and culture as they are anywhere in the world.

The only Democrats left in SC are the aged yellow dogs who are dying out and blacks. And blacks are weaning themselves off of the Democrat plantation in increasing numbers. Look at district 1, last election a black conservative Republican was elected. He will likely be reelected in massive numbers in 2012.

Examples like this are some of the a very few things that make me - every great once in awhile - feel optimistic about the future of this nation.

96 Liking Cain does not mean you have to throw reality out the window.  And there are some of us, and I think that might include Ace, that think Cain simply will never get enough votes to be the nominee, much less be able to beat Obama.

It seems the Cain folks are quite willing to toss aside his problems.  His 9-9-9 plan is a disaster.  Nothing even similar to that could even get out of committee much less pass either house of Congress.

Yes, he's likable.. but likable only gets ya so far in politics.

Exactly. I was thinking of supporting Cain (before Perry got in) and have, in fact, voted for him before (US Senate primary in Georgia in 2004), but almost every time he opens his mouth (unless it's something scripted), he tells me he's not up to the job of beating Obama or governing afterwards if he lucked up and did win next fall. (shrug) He's always seemed a likeable guy (though less so now that I know him better), but I'm not electing someone to sit around and watch football games with or go get a beer with.

97 I wonder how long before this sort of stuff makes its way to our shores. The leftists here are working just as hard to destroy our sense of community and nationhood and culture as they are anywhere in the world. If OWS really is being run by the lefties in charge and this year's is just a dry run to some serious havoc next year, then the balloon is up so far as I'm concerned. I still think that the most likely form of vigilantism by Americans not of the parasite classes will be a tax revolt following some future unconstitutional move that SCOAMF adds to his already impressive list. If a big enough movement of Americans declare their refusal to pay taxes, "full faith and credit" will mean jack shit.

98 Who knew "Sullenberger" was a Polish name?

A great landing involves using the aircraft again.

If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going. Made in USA, bitchez.
