Unpatriotic Debt
— andy

New RNC ad below the fold ... just in time for July 4th.

Or, as John Roberts calls it, April 15th.

Four years ago today at a campaign event, Candidate Obama said that adding $4 trillion to the debt was "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic." During his three years in office the "undisputed debt king" has added over $5 trillion to the national debt and has racked up the largest deficits in U.S. history.

Meh.  This is nice and all, but we've been fear-mongered about the debt since the 80's and before.  I doubt it has the same impact it once did on Joe Sixpack.  This isn't going to win the election.  Especially since no one believes the Republicans will do jack to fix anything.  Regardless, once a number gets over a certain level, the human mind can't handle it.  It just becomes a "big number."  1 trillion, 5 trillion, 100 trillion - it's all the same in psychological terms.

 

 

 

 

I'd be a lot happier to see ads about things people are concerned with in day to day life.  We have about a thousand ways to bash this current administration in terms of jobs, for example.  And energy prices.  And food prices.  Bash him on that stuff!  If we just pointed out the various ways this traitor hurts us in our day to day lives we'd already have his balls in a vice.

VERY good ad. My only criticism is that the giggling Chucklenuts Barry image did not comport with the serious tone of the ad. To me, it implied he's simply detached or incompetent.

 

I recommend they replace it with one of the many Mussolini Chin-Thrust Barry images out there.  That would drive home the impression that he's purposely driving the deficits.  He's PRESIDING over them.

10 One thing that e will have to be careful on though is he is not the only one responsible for all this debt. Congress had a hand in it as well. In fact, you may say they had the biggest hand in it.

Sure, during the first two years the Dems owned all of it and did the bidding of Obama, but the House is now Republican and has been spending away as well.


And they have NOT done what they said they would do in partial budgets and take it or leave it.


This debt shit could be a two-edged sword.

And where are the people talking about how the Obama economy ruined their lives. Esp.- where is the contrast with Reagan? Have older people talk about Morning in America. That would kill Golfy O'dog-Gobbler and the Dims.

I don't think I ever did either. Honestly with 20/20 hindsite I've looked at the characture of the candidates and been batting 1000% ever since I was old enough to vote.

I spotted Dick Nixon as untrustworthy as soon as he was elected.

I had Jimmy Cahter figured out when he campaigned at my college on his intention to "put LUV back in tha guvahmint".

I loved Ronald Reagan BEFORE he was nominated.

I had GHWBush spotted as simply a continuation of the Reagan administration and not capable of much more. May be my worst opinion. He did well in Desert Storm right up until he let the liberals talk him out of completing the mission and marching into Bagdad and taking out Saddam.

Slick Willy smelled of snake oil in the party debates. I said before he was elected that if he got in he'd be the most scandle ridden administration in history.

Spotted GWBush in the primaries as the best of the field and questioned if he was up to the political aspects of consensis building. PRAYED he was elected over Gore as the only alternative but not so much thrilled about him as an individual. Since then, I like him and most of the choices he made with the exception of failing to confront the media on their lies and spin.

I spotted the SCOAMF in the democratic primary debates and new immediately that he was a media creation and a totally hollow characture but that he was also inevitable. The media had been building him up and Bashing Bush for 9 years leading up to his ascendancy. It really didn't matter who the right ran against him because they would be running against a stacked deck including virtually ALL the mainstream media.

With that record, you wouldn't like to know what I think of Romney as an individual or what his administration will be like. He's the only alternative we're being offered to death by socialism. But it's hard to get excited about the prospects being offered of "a little less death" as opposed to the utter and complete destruction of America, her assets and history.

22 I was talking to my Dad a couple months ago, asking what it was like during FDR.  He told me that his father just despised FDR and he wasn't alone.

We will get rid of Obama, the problem is how do we roll back all of this "progress" that has been given to us by FDR, LBJ, Bush, and Obama?  The only thing I've seen that actually rolled things back a little has been the welfare reforms in the 90s.

Nobody sees TV ads anymore either.  My understanding is they're already hitting certain markets with TV and Radio ads, but we're in the era of viral marketing (meaning: send it to people if you want them to see it) and nothing but direct/personal contact is going to be guaranteed to get to anyone.

Funny you should say that.  I started running the week after Andrew died, and I'm running two 5Ks and a longer run (6.6 miles last week) every week now.  Working up to running half marathons.

I'm finding that the days I run are my favorite, because I quit stressing over this mess.

In a move unprecedented in American history, the Obama Administration quietly banned the re-importation of nearly 600,000 American made M1 Carbine rifles.

And I've just discovered Obama may be blocking as many 300,000 1911 Colts too!

That's nearly one million pieces of American history denied to the American people.

The M1 rifle, developed in the late 1930's, carried the United States through World War II seeing action in every major battle. General Patton at the time called the M1 "the greatest battle implement ever devised."

The rifle is largely credited with giving American soldiers the advantage and securing victory for the allies.

During the Korean War, nearly one million of these rifles were brought to South Korea and left with the South Korean government afterward. Now, South Korea wants to give American gun collectors the chance to get their hands on this unique piece of history.

A piece of American history that Barack Obama would like to see go down the memory hole. After World War II, the United States government sent millions of these rifles overseas to our allies and friends.

That includes 950,000 M1 Garands, 1.2 million M1 Carbines, and 300,000 1911 Pistols.

Over the past 50 years, many of the countries we lent them to returned them to America to be bought and sold by firearms collectors.

This is nothing new.

On top of banning American citizens from owning these historic firearms, Obama's State Department is arranging for the destruction of nearly one million of them -- ironically, at a time of ballooning federal deficits.

What a SCFoaMF!

Yeah, I don't think it's due here.  The only reason he would warn that it would be hard and that (his word) "the odds are against" it would be to lay the groundwork for not doing it.

You don't say, "Oh, we're unlikely to win," if you think you're going to win- it demoralizes your side and energizes the opposition.

I would love to be wrong, but I doubt I am.

42 Current US debt stands at 15.8 trillion; the new and improved debt limit agreed to just a few damn months ago (you know, the one where all kind of mandatory cuts were put into place and are being wealseled on as we speak) is 16.4 trillion.
 
Chances are we will run out of ceiling before the end of the year, right around the same time Taxageddon arrives. Taxageddon is the expiration of all the Bush tax cuts, some temp cuts made by the SCoaMF and crew, and the arrival of new taxes via ObamaTaxCare.

What I see here in MA is lots of ads for Bark Obama. Actually, the same ad, repeated over and over, in which he Cares Most About the Economy and Unemployment, as opposed to Eeeevil Mutt Romney and His Billionaire Pals.

One Scott Brown ad is repeated nearly as often. It's a dipshit ad, but then Brown is a dipshit, if marginally better than Lizzie "Ugh" Warren.

Just wait till O'Dogeater starts running ads warning all those new "clients" on food stamps that the mean old republicans will take away their free food.

 

Illinois is not a swing state and the ads are running non-stop to get old people to sign up for food stamps, going after the one demographic left who might have some shame at taking government cheese. 

 

And somehow the government has arranged for farmers markets to take food stamps, and if you use food stamps at a farmers market you get "food stamp bucks" to buy twice as much stuff!  The government is using our (borrowed) money to sell us all into debt slavery forever.

49 The thing is that Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, and ObamaTax are all going to be changed one way or another in the next decade.  As Monty was fond of saying, money that can't be paid, won't.

So McConnell is hedging about repeal.  That is fine, but something will be done because the law is unworkable.  Especially now that the states were given an out to not participate and force the Feds to set up the exchanges.

54 #48 -- Yeah, it should be an encouraging sign that the Traitor-in-Chief is blowing chunks of money to preach to the MA faithful, but I don't see it as particularly encouraging. Instead, I think he's just covering his bases. He likes to see himself on TV, too.

Neither the Repubs in general or Mutt Romney in particular are really holding President Historic First's© feet to the fire, here or anywhere. As long as "conservatives" adopt the Ed "Poppin' Fresh" Morrissey approach -- "woohooo, it's an Obamateurism! *giggles*" -- approach, I'm afraid he's going to walk his choom-addled ass right into another four years.

So far, it looks like this:

Republicans: Hey, Obama has spent a little more money than he maybe should, and we might do a little better, if we have to."

Democrats: Obama is black. And he cares. Did we mention he's black?

All I see are political commercials right now. From what I can tell in the miliseconds that I see them before the blinding rage descends, it looks like it's one Romney then one Obama, one right after the other.

 

On the debt thing, I do think there needs to be a huge push to remind everyone that a.  there's been no budget for, what, three and a half years and b. Obama's proposed budgets are so huge they've been voted down by the Senate.

57 Re: 39 That is just typical of this administration- cut the nation's people off from their history while denying them their 2na Amendment rights. The original M1 as designed by JC Garand was chambered for the .308 Winchester round (7.62mm for you kids on the lawn) and had a magazine capacity of 10 rounds. That version was never approved for production because then Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacAuthur felt that millions of surplus rounds of 30-06 ammunition left over from WWI would go to waste. So prior to production the rifle was re-chambered to fire the 30-06 round. This change required reducing the magazine capacity from 10 rounds to 8. In case you ever wondered why it carried 8 rounds- which always seemed a little peculiar to me. Also, if you are ever in the mood to do something scary try firing a "right handed" Garand from your left shoulder.

Yeah, I saw what he said and it was very very different from what I thought given the reactions. I read it as more "this is going to be hard so we need all the votes in the Senate we can get" than "this is going to be hard so we're going to take our ball and go home". As far as discouraging, maybe I'm being a Pollyanna but, again, I took it as more it'll be hard so we need to go out and get people elected.

 

That being said, there is ample, nah, overwhelming evidence that the Senate Republicans will dork us in the squeakhole sans lube.

63 That 8 round clip was also a problem in two ways. First the god old M-1 thumb for those who were not wary.  Then the distinctive "ping" when it was ejected after the last round.



The Japanese started charging the gunners when they heard that ping so they could kill them before they had chance to reload.  Of course that led to soldiers thumping an empty one against the receiver to make the ping noise when they had a fully loaded clip.

I did have one for a while. That was the most accurate gun I ever shot.  Used to get three round groups that would fit inside a thumbnail at 150 yards.


But alas, I was stupid.  Traded it to my brother for a Mini-14.

On the debt thing, I do think there needs to be a huge push to remind everyone that  a.   there's been no budget for, what, three and a half years and b. Obama's proposed budgets are so huge they've been voted down by the Senate.

 

The first casualty of any political campaign is the truth. In this one, as with   all the others, we'll never hear it  from teh Pubbies. And there's a lot of it  to ignore: a real UE rate of   around 11%,   real inflation of about 5%, the deficit,  gas prices are  still  too damned high,   grocery prices through the roof,  regulations  keeping the economy down, teh SCOAMF bypassing Congress to do as he damn well pleases, the list is as long as your arm.

 

But what do we hear from teh Pubbies? Milquetoast platitudes that still try to sound nice. Hell, let them interview me, I'd  give them enough fodder for a couple of hours just on the shit I've had  to go through since this country was stupid enough to  elect a  bald-faced Marxist/Communist as president.

This marries up with a comment I was reading over at PJM about the next thing Obama will go after if re-elected: the 2nd Ammendment.

 

This is what's keeping the radical left from a true political takeover.  They're already making the military more liberal friendly and when you get a chance, start checking out opinions of senior officers - more and more either actively liberal or blindly buying off on liberal propaganda (global warming, gov't spending).

Posted by: Burn the Witch at July 03, 2012 05:49 AM (rX1N2)

85 Anne Bayefsky of National Review notes that the Obama administration has effectively backed an extraordinary session at the UN Security Council today, in which the United Nation's High Commissioner for Human Rights, the notoriously anti-Israel Navi Pillay, will brief the Council on the subject of Israel--and Israel alone. The U.S. failed to veto the session, which was scheduled in order to give the Council cover to deal with the atrocities being committed by Syria at this very moment--a crisis that has nothing to do with Israel whatsoever. From Bayefsky: Though the U.S. is a veto-holding power, the extraordinary move has full American approval, despite the fact that the global soapbox will be handed to Navi Pillay, a notorious anti-Israel partisan. Moreover, the American-backed action exposes President Obama’s profound weakness on the international stage. It turns out that the deal to sponsor an Israel-bashing session at the highest levels was a trade-off for having the high commissioner brief the Council on the subject of Syria... Team Obama’s only caveat? The Syrian briefing should be in the morning and the Israel briefing should be in the afternoon so that the briefings — by the same person — can be labeled “two” meetings and the trade-off will be less visible. Obama’s U.N. ambassador Susan Rice can then run to the cameras before the afternoon session and claim the Council’s consideration of Syria was a “success.”

Vic, I got that percentage from the good folks who counted the workforce participation figures from  the beginning of His Immaculation   in '09,  as opposed to the anemic number they use today. And the inflation rate is going by the old method that counts things we actually have to purchase like gasoline and groceries.

 

If we can ever regain control   of our government, we should demand that they realistically calculate the numbers they use based on real-world metrics, not massage them to make themselves look good. I'm not  very optimistic of that  ever happening,  tho'.

It is not a good ad. Give me 1/10 of the money they spent on this ad and I could make an ad 100 times better.

Why?

Because this ad is made for, made by and approved by a whole bucket of fish who live in, around and on DC--they have no idea what is going on out in the real world.

Now Pennell has been expelled from the university and faces numerous criminal charges that she faked the notes, The Hartford Courant reported. Police who were investigating Pennell's allegations installed (with her knowledge) a camera to try to identify who was leaving the notes. Twice the camera was turned off, and during one of those times, a note arrived. Authorities then installed another camera in a hall closet and recorded Pennell leaving the notes herself.

America's carbon emissions may drop back close to 1990 levels this year. That result would have been thought impossible, even at the end of 2011.

Speaking of debt:

Scranton's police, fire and Department of Public Works unions Monday filed a lawsuit to overturn Mayor Chris Doherty's unilateral slashing of their salaries to minimum wage.

The unions - International Association of Firefighters Local 60, the Fraternal Order of Police E.B. Jermyn Lodge 2 and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 2305 - are seeking an injunction against the mayor to prohibit him from cutting pay to the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.


The city has been run by Democrats since forever.

246 In March, hundreds of students at Central Connecticut State University held a rally to back Alexandra Pennell, a student who told the crowd that she had been receiving notes in her dormitory room attacking her for being a lesbian. Now Pennell has been expelled from the university and faces numerous criminal charges that she faked the notes, The Hartford Courant reported.

The usual outcome for most "hate crimes" against libs.  Sometimes I wonder if Harvey Milk blew his own brains out just to make a point.

Since everyone is talking about their favorite eps of "The Andy Griffith Show," I feel I must admit that I've never seen a single episode.   It's one of   many    classic   and/or popular   shows that   have never interested     me,    including:

 

- The Andy Griffith Show

- The Brady Bunch

- Happy Days

- The Mary Tyler Moore Show

- The Dick Van Dyke Show

- M.A.S.H.

- Dallas

 

The list goes on and on.

 

It's amazing the looks people give me when I say I've never seen an episode of "The Brady Bunch."   You'd think I'd     said    that I just finished curb stomping a puppy.

335 The Algonquin Round Table was a celebrated group of New York City writers, critics, actors and wits. Gathering initially as part of a practical joke, members of "The Vicious Circle", as they dubbed themselves, met for lunch each day at the Algonquin Hotel from 1919 until roughly 1929. At these luncheons they engaged in wisecracks, wordplay and witticisms that, through the newspaper columns of Round Table members, were disseminated across the country.

>>The Algonquin Round Table was a celebrated group of New York City writers, critics, actors and wits. Gathering initially as part of a practical joke, members of "The Vicious Circle", as they dubbed themselves, met for lunch each day at the Algonquin Hotel from 1919 until roughly 1929. At these luncheons they engaged in wisecracks, wordplay and witticisms that, through the newspaper columns of Round Table members, including Brian Dennehy, were disseminated across the country.

380 Chippewa Falls - The extreme heat that has blanketed Wisconsin caused Highway 29 to buckle, creating a ramp that sent an SUV flying through the air as another motorist captured it on camera, WQOW TV in Eau Claire reported.

Theresa Reich from Eau Claire had stopped on an overpass Sunday to take a still photo of the pavement and did not realize her phone's camera was set to capture video.

The SUV went into the air, crossed the median and both lanes of oncoming traffic in front of vehicles before stopping off the road.

401 "So I ask again: What the fuck good is "moral authority" in any measurable, objective way?" - Nom de Blog

The best way I can explain moral authority is to use an example. Do you read comics? If so, I point to exhibit A or moral authority, Captain America.

Captain America would always do the right thing, and by doing so, he inspired his fellow heroes to follow his example. Even though a mere mortal with powers far surpassed by most other superheroes, he LED the Avengers, which included powerhouses such as Hulk and even gods in Hercules and Thor. They all believed in the goodness of Captain America.

The antithesis to Captain America would be Frank Castle, aka Punisher. He also went after bad guys, just as zealously as other heroes. But he had no moral compunctions, for him, the ends justified the means. And while he struck fear in the thugs of the world, he never shone light in the cities he staked out. Citizens feared him just as much as the criminals he fought.

So in conclusion, moral authority is what Captain America represents. It's something that President Obama is bringing back to our great nation

414 Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.


Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system -- ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

Bingo!

People fuss too much over their ribs.

By the way, I tried a little twist on mine a few weeks ago. My standard dry rub is a bit spicy, and we were having kids over, so I sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar on the ribs before cooking. It glazed nicely and added a sweet component that was really good, even for the adults.

439 Storm-related outages at an Amazon data center in Ashburn prompted some congressional officials on Monday to question whether the federal government is moving too swiftly to put important data on private-sector cloud computing servers.

The outages affected companies such as Netflix and Pinterest, not the government. But several federal agencies have moved e-mail and other services to cloud servers, which are housed at remote data centers and typically managed by technology companies such as Amazon or Google.

The House subcommittee on commerce, manufacturing and trade is studying the risks of such moves and hopes to schedule a hearing on the matter ahead of the August congressional recess.

“Last week’s powerful thunderstorms, along with the massive disruptions they caused, exposed some of the vulnerabilities of cloud computing,” said the panel’s chairman, Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), in a statement. “But I also believe the problems extend way beyond consumer convenience and customer service. There are some serious privacy issues which we need to look at as well.”

481 An ethics complaint against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has been filed by David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh with the Office of Bar Counsel, Board on Professional Responsibility of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Codrea and Vanderboegh are the two bloggers who first broke the news of the Fast and Furious scandal in December 2010.

Said Vanderboegh, Eric Holder believes that he will escape serious consequences of the congressional investigations of the Fast and Furious scandal simply by running out the clock on his tenure. We intend this ethics complaint to place him on notice that his lies and malfeasances will follow him until justice is done.”

You have to factor in that they always spot the lefties 5 points, sample more Dems, and manipulate the wording of the questions to get the desired results

I actually am trying to find the post where Ace first called us morons. I found one post that I'll link in a minute, but I don't think it was the first.

 

As I remember it, he was saying something like "everybody knows" such and such. And then said "except you people reading this, you're morons."

 

But I could be remembering it wrong...because I am, of course, a moron.

That one is much more recent.   I think it dates back a few months to when    some folks were talking about how we should form our own PAC.   We were trying to come up with an appropriate name.   "The Moron Horde," I believe, was one of the options.

Last month, the economy created just 80,000 jobs. That's just not good enough, working out to fewer than a million jobs a year when we would need about that many jobs per month to get back to full employment by year end.

Counting from his first full month as president, the economy under Obama has performed poorly. Only GW Bush, with an average monthly job loss of 25,000  the same number of months into his presidency did worse than Obama's loss of 12,000.

Ever heard that retarded saying “SCOAMF” CanÂ’t tell you what it means, look it up. I said people if they are tired of hearing this crap. Turns out they arenÂ’t, because they never heard. One a certain group of people never head the disrespectful trope. Classy, Respectful, Intelligent People.   ObÂ’s such a Miserable Failure he grad Harvard Law and passed his bars and practiced law and beat the  “war hero,” John McCain & Simple Sarah. Got Bin Laden.   The white supremacists of the GOP Base reek of envy and desperation.

Obama evil? You mean after Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-il (along with father and son)? Or on the local front Ted Bundy, Dennis Rader (BTK killer), John Wayne Gacy, Timothy McVeigh et al? Then no, President Obama is neither evil nor wicked. He has neither killed, maimed or intentionally harmed another human being insofar as is known
