Free 'Wrong Guy' now!” 6:29:31 AM 5/09/08 “i hate that a person cant dissent without being called an america hater - crash There's a difference between reasoned dissent and violin/tilt style hatred. Heck, I dissented. At the time, I didn't think GWB should've invaded Iraq when he chose to.” 6:58:09 AM 5/09/08 “here's a difference between reasoned dissent and violin/tilt style hatred. youre the hater. i disagree with one aspect of america, and people like you blow it up into me hating the country as a whole thats not very reasonable, either if i said your singing is terrible, or your haircut is bad, or you dress ugly, is that the same thing as saying i hate you?” 7:12:11 AM 5/09/08 “"There's a difference between reasoned dissent and violin/tilt style hatred." That is something that you mad dog neo-cons have made up and bandied about until you take it for "fact" and keep referring to it as if it is to be taken seriously. Thanks for your response to Bacpac, Crash. "thats not very reasonable, either" Nor is it reasoned..... These guys would surely have been Tories in 1776. last edited: 5/09/08 7:23:29 AM” 7:20:01 AM 5/09/08 “Recorded and listened, looked in the mirror and decided I hate my country ,so I'll get back at them by voting for the choice of one of the two parties.” 7:24:32 AM 5/09/08 “youre the hater. i disagree with one aspect of america, and people like you blow it up into me hating the country as a whole - crash EDIT: Ah nevermind, it's not worth it. last edited: 5/09/08 7:47:31 AM” 7:42:50 AM 5/09/08 “EDIT: Ah nevermind, it's not worth it. more of your hate, i assume” 8:01:10 AM 5/09/08 “Actually I was contrasting your perspective with true hate.” 8:06:04 AM 5/09/08 “ ”8:20:21 AM 5/09/08 “Long Beatch even, hold the hamburger.” 8:57:26 AM 5/09/08 “Mutt's throwin' HaterAid!” 10:00:22 AM 5/09/08 How's that recovery summer going? “LOL...What a great time to remember this. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lachlan-markay/2010/08/09/recovery-summer-vs-mission-accomplished-will-msm-call-out-obamas-lau#ixzz0w90fsKMr First, it should be noted that the "Mission Accomplished" meme, as trumpeted by the media since May, 2003, is largely a myth. Bush never delivered those words in the context portrayed by many media liberals. The phrase was never actually uttered on the USS Abraham Lincoln, where Bush spoke in front of a banner displaying the infamous phrase. In fact, the banner was draped from the ship with little involvement or input from the White House. And Bush, during the speech on May 1, 2003, made sure to note that "Our mission continues" and that "We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide." In other words, Bush plainly stated that the overarching mission was not accomplished. Granted, he did say the following to a group of troops a month later: "America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished." But in the context of the time, that statement was true. A grave threat in the Iraqi dictator had been removed, and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that bore the brunt of his dictatorial rule had been liberated.

Three days after Geithner made his "welcome to the recovery" proclamation in the op-ed pages of the New York Times, the economy shed 131,000 jobs. The administration and its left-wing media cheerleaders touted the 71,000 private sector jobs created, not mentioning of course that about double that number would need to materialize for the economy to keep pace with new entrants in the job market. Ed Morrissey explains the numbers in more detail: This isn't a Recovery Summer. It's a slow slide, certainly better than the rapid disintegration of 2009, but we haven't replaced those jobs yet, either. Job losses are cumulative. In a normal recovery with proper economic policies of lower barriers to investor entry, we would see a rapid replacement of jobs in this time frame that would take us back to somewhere around 80% of what was lost, with the remaining 20% being the most difficult to recover. We have not yet even begun that ascent. I'll update this with a couple of slides later this morning to demonstrate the problem. Expect the White House to hail the best private-sector job creation numbers since March, but economists won't get fooled. We're still descending, and will until we get job creation solidly above 100,000 new additions per month. That Geithner's "welcome to the recovery" statement was "dramatically premature" seems an understatement. Is Tim Geithner stuck in Never Never Land? The Treasury Secretary's declaration of the non-recovery recovery came in the middle of what the White House has formally dubbed its "Recovery Summer" campaign. The effort aims to promote "the surge in Recovery Act infrastructure projects that will be underway across the country in the coming months - and the jobs they'll create well into the fall and through the end of the year," according to a release. "Summer 2010 is actually poised to be the most active Recovery Act season yet," the White House claimed in June. Total job losses during "Recovery Summer" have totaled 352,000 so far. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, has declined slightly, indicating that thousands of Americans have given up on their searches for jobs.

That's because that part of the mission was accomplished. A mission isn't a whole project. It's a small part of it. There was still rebuilding and police action to take place.” 6:37:05 AM 8/10/10 “Yessirree!!! Sadly the Democrat socialist plan is to skew the facts because reality....well its just too tough for them.” 6:55:07 AM 8/10/10 “Can you face the reality of living in a dying superpower, in which nothing can be done, except accept the debt ridden future with your eyes closed to what really happened again as has always happens when the wealth all goes into the hands of a few who will let go of even their handgun before they'll let go of the all mighty buck. Punctuation needed, send to...” 8:29:32 AM 8/10/10 “Thanks to Obama sale. Don't vote for democrats because they enjoy the flesh of young children.” 8:40:44 AM 8/10/10 “It's not just Obama and you know it. We have spent so much on prisons, military , foreign aid, drug interdiction, false immigration control and on and on while at the same time lowering taxes and it just doesn't work. I've haven't voted for a dem or rep for thirty years, but I see no difference in the two, because neither has any power- the power is in the Buck$ that lobbyist hand out with the new laws and voting instructions package. A whole new form of gov is the only way to avoid total collapse, but the constitution and the bible get in the way of any creative thinking and you and all of the rest of this country know things have to change ,but just don't have the balls to admit and face it.” 9:50:38 AM 8/10/10 “The UN, at one time was supposed to take the burdening weight of the world off the shoulders of the self righteous USA, but it became just as corrupt as the US and became a twin political football game of absolutely no more worth than the US foreign policy.” 9:55:52 AM 8/10/10 “We have spent so much on prisons, military , foreign aid, drug interdiction, false immigration control DoD spending is a big outlay. However, how do the others compare to what's spent on social security, health care programs, and other social safety nets?” 10:13:10 AM 8/10/10 “LOL....entitlements for the parasite generation have always been significantly more damaging than all the Sale Listed whines.” 1:12:55 PM 8/10/10
