Savage just had a good one:
Did you hear about Laura Bush's new handbag? It's red white and blue on the outside and pink on the inside.
He was talking about her support for Joba-the-Kagan.

Let see... 80% of native New Yorkers polled believe, TO THIS DAY, that 9-11 only happened with US gov involvement. That must mean that MOSLEMS DIDN'T DO IT, and if they had anything at all to do with it beyond being patsies, THEY HAD A LOT OF HELP.
Yeah, to anyone involved in the cover-up, even the stupified dupes at the bottom of the chain, THAT would be what is "wrong" with NYC.
Or rather, right, in the grand scheme of things.

It could be a cass of a lucky village. But are there any other possibilities? Let's see. A wandering troll. Regurgitates Marxist cliches about "the capitalists". Same old cliches that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot et al used to get their Azrec-like "Worker States" of blood and skulls. Like a homosexual missionary, troll announces that Jesus was down with same-sex marriage. Like a disinformatsya doozie, screams that 9.11 done not by fanatic jihadis doing what fanatic jihadis do. No, you see, 9.11 was done by Republicans, the same Reeps who tremble even to raise the issue of Obama's I.D. Then said troll, like a mullah-in-drag, warns of doom for all who do not submit to gay commie talking points.
Greenwich Village idiot, laughed out of Christopher Street? What about another possibility? What about this being a glaring example of defective straitjackets, unable to restrain shrieking lunatic, who then stalks our Warrior Princess at her Open House site, alternately making nice to her, then warning even our Monica to "use her brains" to submit to troll's talking points. A pattern here?
In other words, evidence of a purchase of lousy strait jackets? Yet another glaring example of massive Medicaid waste and fraud in the corporate-lib Neocom Republic?

Nah. Just another excuse for more quasi-intellectual quasi-commentary no one even tries to understand, let alone even bothers to read, because the writer thinks obtuse illustrates intellect.
Must have been too much LSD. Or maybe generic beer.
HOWEVER, correcting the straw disinfo people might have understood:
The LAST thing in the world George H.W. Bush, Georgie W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Karl Rove et al are or were, were or are Republicans.
Or even Americans. So the answer is NO, the "Republicans" did not pull off 9-11 anymore than Mossad did. They were merely in power and it was merely on their watch when it occurred, much to their endless profit.
Furthermore, such people see themselves far above mere nationality to any given sovereign country, despite all the lying jingoistic rhetoric to the contrary for the further detriment of the braindead base.

I've been busy. I saw your posts but I'm not going to NYC to protest. There SHOULD be enough people down there to represent me.
I joined a group on Facebook expressing my outrage. Now, I hear that the opening date is the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
I remember how the ACLU thought "God Bless America" was offensive right after 9/11, but it is ok to open a mosque on the 10th anniversary. This totally diminishes the memory of 9/11.

Thank God "you people" will never make the rest of America as small and frightened and petty and narrow-minded and as paranoid as you are.
Despite having your own cable propaganda channel.
The laughable thing? You all think you're a new deal, all happened as a "reaction" to an "attack" from "enemies" on 9-11, when you existed at the Salem witch trials, in the 1880's in posses, in the 1920's, the 1930's (throughout the world in that decade although mostly in Europe and the US), the 1960's, the 1980's, the 1990's, and now, of course, "because" of 9-11, now.
That is, it would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.
"We have met the enemy, and he is [a very small minority of] US."
"The only thing we have to fear, is [the] fear [of the small-minded] itself."
Sometimes even the Jew-hating wasp bigots who set up Armageddon in the Mideast sixty years before the fact spoke the truth.
For all the good it did them, or the wreck of a world they left behind in their wake.

You know the war you fought in wasn't too much fun

Not now. YOU happened.
If we can wake you fools up and stop your big biz fascist slavery stemming from your rampant paranoia and xenophobia, we might have HALF a chance at winning the culture war.
HALF.
Your way? No surer way to certain extinction. Ask Rome.
Oh, sorry. There's no trace of Rome anywhere TO ask.
And Israel won't be first in that extinction, either. You can rely on that. There will be no canary in the coal mine to warn of the US's demise, other than your existence, here, today, now.

Good News for the Tea Party:
Obama a buoy in some states, an anchor in battlegrounds
By: David Freddoso
Online Opinion Editor
05/15/10 11:34 AM EDT
Over at Real Clear Politics, Kyle Trygstad and Mike Memoli point to President Obama’s very weak numbers in some of the most critical states of the 2010 elections.
In what I’ll call the “Anchor States,” Obama is a dead weight on Democrats:
In Florida, the president’s net approval rating is -1.7; in Colorado, it’s -6.5; North Carolina, -2.7; Ohio, -7.8; Nevada, -5.0; and Pennsylvania, it’s -3.0. These six states all feature critical Senate contests this year, with the Keystone State also home to a potential bellwether special Congressional race next Tuesday. And five of the six were red states that flipped into the Democratic column in the 2008 presidential election.
Obama’s position is far worse in several other 2008 battlegrounds, as well as red states where Democrats are struggling to hold seats this fall. In Arkansas, where Sen. Blanche Lincoln trails all potential Republican opponents, Obama’s net approval rating is -28. In Indiana, a state Obama won, his rating is -13. And Missouri, which he narrowly lost and hosts an open Senate race Democrats had thought was a prime pickup opportunity, his rating is -11.5.

AP-GfK Poll: Only a third want own lawmakers back
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100515/D9FNAUV00.html
Just 35 percent say the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest measured by the AP-GfK survey since a week before Obama took office in January 2009. His approval rating remains at 49 percent, as low as it's been since he become president.

US faces one of biggest budget crunches in world – IMF
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/edmundconway/100005702/us-faces-one-of-biggest-budget-crunches-in-western-world-imf/
But the really interesting stuff is the detail, and what leaps out again and again is how much of a hill the US has to climb. Exhibit a is the fact that under the Obama administration’s current fiscal plans, the national debt in the US (on a gross basis) will climb to above 100pc of GDP by 2015 – a far steeper increase than almost any other country.

The new world devised by Maurice Strong and George Soros
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/6485
Have you ever wondered how capitalism was pushed over the edge of the cliff just six weeks before the American presidential election?
According to financial experts, the world, as we know it will change dramatically by the year 2012. People, who provided for their families only three years ago, will be desperately searching for food.
The story of the economic meltdown of 2008 begins and ends with the United Nations and its carefully managed One World Order.
Behind the curtain of this dark chapter in human misery are ogres Maurice Strong and George Soros.
It is both power lust and an all-consuming hatred of the United States of America that elevated this deadly duo to ogre status.
Fortunately for all of those searching for answers, much of their plan for the world, post November 4, 2008 is already mapped out in writing.
Leading economic experts and Strong agree that in 2012 people will be going hungry.
“Strong has worked diligently and effectively to bring his ideas to fruition, He is now in a position to implement them.” (Henry Lamb, The Rise of Global Governance, available at soverignty.net). “His speeches and writings provide a clear picture of what to expect. In 1991, Strong wrote the introduction to a book published by the Trilateral Commission, called Beyond Interdependence: The Meshing of the World’s Economy and the Earth’s Ecology, by Jim MacNeil. (David Rockefeller wrote the foreword). Strong said this:
“This interlocking…is the new reality of the century, with profound implications for the shape of our institutions of governance, national and international. By the year 2012, these changes must be fully integrated into our economic and political life.”
These chilling words are in line with ones he used for the opening session of the Rio Conference (Earth Summit II) in 1992, that industrialized countries have:
“Developed and benefited from the unsustainable patterns of production and consumption which have produced our present dilemma. It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class—involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing—are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns.”
The only change that has happened since 1992 is that Strong and Soros now have their Agent of Change coming to the White House.
In other words, the world according to Maurice Strong, is unfolding as it should.
In an era ridden by bankruptcies and job loss, Zombie-like cultists will swarm Washington, D.C. for the January 20, 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama.
Voluntary acceptance of global governance is the preferred means of achieving a takeover of America without a single shot having been fired.
“Education programs to teach the “global ethic” have been underway by UNESCO and by UNEP for more than twenty years.” (Page 90, The Rise of Global Governance). “That the U.S. government, through its representatives to the various U.N. agencies, has not already crushed this global governance agenda is s testament to the effectiveness of the U.N.’s education program.”
Back to how to how ogres Strong and Soros, along with others, were able to hijack a world economy.
“A new Economic Security Council (ESC) would replace the existing Economic and Social Council. The new ESC would consist of no more than 23 members who would have responsibility for all international financial and development activities. The IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO—virtually all finance and development activities—would be under the authority of this body. There would be no veto power by any nation. (Italics CFP’s). Nor would there be permanent member status for any nation.”
Bloggers and website owners may recall how the Ohama campaign team seemed to have thousands of volunteers available with G-Mail accounts to send out a barrage of nasty letters any time a blog or website asked too many questions or dared to criticize “The Messiah”.
In a post January 20 world, it seems that Obama will develop his activist base from within the White House.
But in Maurice Strong’s New World, NGOs will flag the new order about truth tellers: “The Commission (on Global Governance) believes that the U.N. should protect the “security of the people” inside the borders of sovereign nations, with or without the invitation of the national government. It proposes the expansion of an NGO “early warning” network to function through the Petitions Council to alert the U.N. to possible action.” (Italics CFP’s).
Maurice Strong has had a longtime influence with the major Foundations, which provide the funding for NGOs, and he has influence with the major international NGOs that coordinate the activities of the thousands of smaller NGOs around the world.
Small wonder that Strong spends his time far away in Communist China these days.
But there is a silver lining to be found even with the darkest of storm clouds over America and something for Americans to contemplate over the upcoming holidays.
In spite of the hype coming out of the Office of the President-elect, Obama is merely a fop for the global elite. He is their, and not the people’s true agent of change.
The January 20 inauguration with its promise of 5 million observers in Washington, D.C. will be the extravaganza of a lifetime, deepening recession notwithstanding.
It is Obama’s job to demoralize the 58 million people who did not buy into his campaign and for all of those who do not want One World Order.
Starring among all the glitterati at the Inauguration Ball, Barack and Michelle are like the stick figures from a kindergartener’s drawing, for this is an emperor who truly has no clothes.

SUPREME COURT TO FACE MECCA
http://www.anncoulter.com/
Americans can thank the Supreme Court for the attempted car bombing of Times Square, as well as any future terrorist attacks that might be less "amateurish" and which our commander in chief will be unable to thwart unless the bomb fizzles.
Over blistering dissents by Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Samuel Alito, five Supreme Court justices have repeatedly voted to treat jihadists like turnstile jumpers. (Thanks, Justice Kennedy!)
That's worked so well that Obama's own attorney general is now talking about making massive exceptions to the Miranda warnings -- exceptions that will apply to all criminal suspects, by the way -- in order to deal with terrorists having to be read their rights as a bomb is about to go off.
Let's be clear: When Eric Holder thinks we're being too easy on terrorists, we are being too easy on terrorists.
Either the five liberal justices demanding constitutional rights for terrorists are out of their minds, or the religious worship of President Franklin D. Roosevelt has got to stop. According to liberal logic in the war on terrorism, FDR was a bloodthirsty war criminal.
When six Germans and two Americans were suspected of plotting an attack on U.S. munitions plants during World War II, FDR immediately ordered them arrested and tried in a secret military tribunal held behind closed doors at the Department of Justice.
Within weeks, all were found guilty. Six of the eight, including one U.S. citizen, were given the electric chair. One German was sentenced to life in prison and the other American citizen -- who had turned himself in and revealed the plot to the FBI -- got 30 years.
The Supreme Court upheld the secret trial, but didn't get around to producing an opinion until after Old Sparky had rendered its own verdict.
Consider that the eight saboteurs never actually did anything other than enter the country illegally, which I gather is considered a constitutional right these days (except in my future home state of Arizona).
Still, FDR had them executed or imprisoned after trial in a secret military tribunal.
How many future car bombers would be discouraged if Faisal Shahzad were tried by military tribunal and executed by, say, the end of the month? What if Army doctor Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan had already gotten the chair?
But we can't do that because, according to five Supreme Court justices who aren't "progressive" enough for American liberals, terrorists waging war on U.S. soil get full constitutional protections.
So, instead, we're left arguing about whether an exception should be made to Miranda rights in the case of a terrorist who plotted with foreign agents to plant a car bomb in Times Square. ("You have the right to remain violent ...")
We are at war. The Supreme Court has no right to stick its fat, unelected nose into the commander in chief's constitutional war powers, particularly in a war against savages whose only reason for not nuking us yet is that they don't have the technology. (The New York Times hasn't gotten around to printing it.)
The reason Democrats are obsessed with controlling the courts is that unelected judges issuing final edicts is the only way liberals can attain their insane policy agenda. No group of Americans outside of Nancy Pelosi's district would vote for politicians who enacted laws similar to the phony "constitutional rights" liberal justices proclaim from the Supreme Court.
President Obama would rather surrender his authority as commander in chief to the Supreme Court than get blamed for deciding to treat terrorists as if they're Paris Hilton facing a drunk driving charge. Let the court do it.
(Recall that Obama's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attack, in a civilian court in New York was even less popular with the American people than Jay Leno at 10 p.m.)
Meanwhile, elected Democrats in Congress are also happy to yield their law-making authority to the court, so they don't have to be the ones voting for laws mandating late-term abortions; hard-core pornography on the Internet; government-sanctioned race discrimination; forced cross-district busing; confiscatory property tax hikes to fund socially engineered school desegregation plans; bans on the public observation of religious traditions shared by most Americans; free education, health care and welfare benefits for illegal immigrants; and a redefinition of the 2,000-year-old institution of marriage against the express wishes of voters in every state to vote on it.
(Note: This is only a partial list.)
The Supreme Court has become a Blue Ribbon Commission for Lunatics, issuing binding edicts in 5-4 votes that Americans would never in a million years vote for. Distinguishing between Elena Kagan and any other Democratic nominee is like distinguishing between Hannibal Lecter and Vlad the Impaler.

Can You Say ‘Radical Islam’?
http://article.nationalreview.com/434231/nicking-our-public-discourse/mark-steyn
“In the case of all three attempts in the last year, the terrorist attempts, one of which was successful, those individuals have had ties to radical Islam,” said Representative Smith. “Do you feel that these individuals might have been incited to take the actions that they did because of radical Islam?”
“Because of . . . ?”
“Radical Islam,” repeated Smith.
“There are a variety of reasons why I think people have taken these actions,” replied Eric Holder noncommittally. “I think you have to look at each individual case.”
The congressman tried again. “Yes, but radical Islam could have been one of the reasons?”
“There are a variety of reasons why people . . . ”
“But was radical Islam one of them?”
“There are a variety of reasons why people do things,” the attorney general said again. “Some of them are potentially religious . . . ” Stuff happens. Hard to say why.
“Okay,” said Smith. “But all I’m asking is if you think, among those variety of reasons, radical Islam might have been one of the reasons that the individuals took the steps that they did.”
“You see, you say ‘radical Islam,’” objected Holder. “I mean, I think those people who espouse a — a version of Islam that is not . . . ”
“Are you uncomfortable attributing any actions to radical Islam?” asked Smith. “It sounds like it.”

I have heard it argued that if this effort is successful, GW BUSH's decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq could ultimately go down as the biggest strategic blunder in history. It certainly is a controversial issue, but what's done is done!

Wowzer, even i they don't get their islamic Reich it was a huge mistake removing Saddam Hussein.
He was a brutal dictator, which is what moslems need.
And he hated iran.
He kept a lid on iran by bluffing re. his WMD. which is why he didn't want the world to know that he really didn't have any.
On the other hand, the reason Bush attacked was that Hussein demanded payment for his oil in Euros, which was a direct attack on the dollar.
Why do you think the Euro went up from an initial low of 75¢?
Thank God American banks had a fail safe in form of countries like Greece so they could cause turmoil for the Euro in case the dollar was ever in real danger, like now.
Which is what I think is happening.

"A radical cleric called Saturday for the creation of a "GREATER IRAN" that would rule over the entire Middle East and Central Asia, in an event that he said would herald the coming of Islam's expected messiah."
------------------------
A sobering prospect indeed but it aien't gonna happen. Iran simply doesn't have the military might to pull such an achievement off, especially with the U.S. military on the scene. That said, if or when the U.S. military pulls out of Iraq, tribal warfare will ensue as surely as the sun rises in the east. Conventional thinking informs us of two likely scenarios:
1) A civil war will break out along sectarian lines resulting in Iraq being broke up into three parts: Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish.
2) The same group of Iraqis (the Ba’ath Party) that ruled Iraq before we foolishly invaded their country will seize power again. Moreover, they are Sunni Muslims of Arab extraction; they certainly will not submit to being ruled by Persians let alone Persian Shiites.

Dj, I wish the Baath Prty would take over after we left. Better than Al Qaeda for sure. Plus that would tie up iran.
My strategy is to have them eternally fighting each other, we supply some light arms so they can do it more efficiently.
It's UP TO THEM to figure out if that is how they want to live.
Until then let them kill each other. Better than having them focus on us, with the contemptible weaklings we now have in our government.

There is a very good reason why a President or PM or Chancellor of any Nation should be native born: Adolf Hitler.
He was Austrian-born and we all know what happened next.
Shows the prescience the Founding Fathers displayed when they put that into the Constitution.
This mandate has been weakened already, since at least one of the Bama's parents was not a US citizen, as mandated by the "native born" requirements.
We should make d*mn sure that we don't alow them to weaken it any further or this country may well be terminated by the next president, in case the present occupant of the White House doesn't finish the job.
It also pays to keep in mind that Ahnold is not only an Austrian by birth but also a KKKennedy.

How sad for "it" that xbjllb's postings make more than significant contributions to the inescapable conclustion that "it's" IQ is one point below that of a common pebble.
Perhaps the real Americans on this site will consider demonstrating the inheritantly charitable nature of our great people and purchase xbjllb a one way ticket to Cuba, Venezuela or Communist China...someplace where it will feel more at home than it does living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Arab Media Praises Obama For De-linking Muslims From Terror
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/05/arab-media-praises-obama-for-de-linking-muslims-from-terror/
Israel National News reported:
A leading international Arab newspaper has hailed U.S. President Barack Obama for officially removing the description “Muslim terrorist” as part of his campaign “to reach out to the Muslim world.” The op-ed did not note the radical Muslim bacgkround of the terrorists and reasoned they are equal to other terrorists whose religion is not connected with their acts.
Osman Mirghani, the deputy editor-in-chief of ‘Al-Sharq Al-Awsat,’ which is owned by a Saudi Arabian company and published in London, wrote an op-ed last week under the headline “Why Didn’t Obama Mention Islam?.” The Obama administration has broken from the Bush government’s policy of using the term “Islamic terrorism” in official documents and “no longer [is] responding to extremist voices” that call for targeting home countries of terrorists, he explained.
He said the president is carrying out his pledge in his “reaching out to Muslims speech” at Cairo University in June 2008. Regarding Obama’s statements on the botched Times Square bombing, the editor praised President Obama for not once referring to prime suspect Faisal Shahzad’s being Muslim and for not “mentioning Islam in discussing the terrorist operation.”
An Ex-PLO Terrorist Turned Israeli Sympathizer says “Obama Is culturally a Muslim.”

Kerry, Lieberman Ready to End Senate Careers
http://www.conservativeforchange.com/2010/05/kerry-lieberman-ready-to-end-senate.html
It's official. Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman have signaled the end of their political careers. The two have introduced what they've titled the “American Power Act.” Yep, it's a global warming bill – Cap-n-Trade, Cap-n-Tax, etc. The premise for this bill is that the industrial emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are causing global temperatures to rise and to prevent global catastrophe the industrialized world must reduce its emissions of CO2.
A pork and power bill based on global warming propaganda has been a priority for the Obama administration. Given that it has already been established, absolutely, that predictions of catastrophic man-made global warming are a scam, you might question the two senators' sanity for introducing one. But new benefits to Israel have recently been negotiated, which might be all it takes to make Joe Lieberman happy. And it's very easy to imagine a chat between John Kerry and Al Gore that ends with Al Gore saying, “Yah, but the money is good.”
Kerry's term isn't over until 2014, when he will be 71 years old, so retirement isn't an unreasonable choice anyway. Lieberman is about the same age with his current term ending two years earlier.
Investor's Business Daily describes the bill as “cap-and-trade meets pork-barrel spending.” It's about regulations, restrictions and research. The bill creates some 60 new agencies and projects to eat up our tax dollars and buy support.
According to a leaked draft summary, there is "$7 billion annually to improve our transportation infrastructure and efficiency" to be paid for by a gas tax that is not called a tax but a "linked fee." There is "$2 billion per year for researching and developing effective carbon capture and sequestration methods and devices." There is even "a new multibillion-dollar revenue stream for agriculture through a domestic offset program." Tilling the soil releases carbon dioxide, don't you know?
Ironically, the draft summary acknowledges the bill will cause energy prices to necessarily skyrocket by promising to "provide assistance to those Americans who may be disproportionately affected by potential increases in energy prices."
The proposed legislation mandates reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels via a cap-and-trade system for power plants and, eventually, factories — with strict curbs on the types of trading that could be done. It would require oil companies, for example, to obtain emission permits at a set price not determined by the trading market.
"This bill is a compilation of just about every bad idea that has emerged in the energy debate," said Patrick Creighton, spokesman for the Institute for Energy Research, a free-market think tank. "Two things are certain if this bill becomes law: Energy prices will skyrocket, and jobs will be shipped overseas."
I don't think anyone today can reasonably claim that America's political system is working. From hiring ACORN with public money in violation of campaign finance law, to destroying the nation's health care to increase kick-backs, to destroying the economy to steal money based on energy use; it simply doesn't matter any more how obvious the scam or how completely corruption is exposed. The American Political Class count themselves as the modern “untouchables.” They'll do it anyway, mock the American public and laugh in the face of protests while they do.

As if Lieberman, Senator from the 51st state of Israel, would ever leave the Senate.

On the contrary, xbjllb got it perfectly. What MJ Fell is demonstrably intellectually incapable of discerning is that he is incapable of mocking anyone on an adult maturity level, preferring his own 3rd grade world view.
