Looking forward to Princess take on the new comet in GOP Sky: RICK PERRY So far, this extremely authentic Texan (infinitely more authentic than The Boosh transplants from New England) has been
1. hit by MIchelle Malkin over his admitted 'mistake' with ordering anti-VD vaccinations for teenaged girls
2. slimed by Obamunists for talking to vintage American Christian extremists like John Hagee (while the Obamunists are fine with their Obama's history of association with muslim extremists, Farrakhan extremists, Black Nationalist extremists, Left extremists and outright terrorists who have bombed and murdered inside the US)
3. attacked by Obamunist stat mongers for Texas economy and jobs (while they ignore the refutation by a serious, meticulous statistician linked here by Buck.
4. attacked by Obamunists for Texas "poor" economy, while they fail to explain why so many are fleeing socialist basket cases like California and heading to Texas if Texas is as bad as CA and Illinois and New York etc.
5. attacked by House of Boosh apparatchik Karl Rove and The OBama himself for "harsh language" against Helipcopter Ben Bernanke, who many experts will tell you is destroying the dollar and paving the way for hyperinflation that will eviscerate MIddle Class assets denominated in dollars.
6. attacked by the Left as an Army of God crazy and the Right as a "Bush-Bilderberger puppet"
Meanwhile, these critics may have to work on The Donald. Why?
DONALD TRUMP: I like Rick Perry. I like him a lot. He came to see me. He's passionate. Do I think he'd make a very good President? Yes, I do think that.
So we know what the harpies think. We also know what Donald Trump, an extremely experienced and astute judge of character, thinks.
And what thinks our House of Boosh-friendly Princess?
Hmmmm...I wonder what Pamela Geller thinks of Perry?
Let's see:
Pamela Geller, American Thinker: Rick Perry, The Stealth JIhad Candidate
Any (and every) candidate who hopes to win the Republican nomination and, ultimately, the presidency must understand the threat of the stealth jihad. It's not rocket science -- and it is apparent to every living breathing American who self-informs. Perry is a useful idiot in this -- and his failings are too monumental and damaging to be ignored.
And what about Debbie Schlussel? What is her opinion of Perry? Let's have a look, shall we?
HAMAS’ CAIR Netwk In Love With Rick Perry (& It’s Mutual)
By Debbie Schlussel
We’ve already had one Islamo-pandering Texas Republican Governor as President. We don’t need another, in Texas Governor Rick Perry. The first version of him, Gov. George W. Bush, beat Al Gore in getting the Islamic endorsement, then squandered the next eight years in the White House giving Muslims special treatment and increasing their immigration numbers to America.
Deja Vu: It’s George Dhimmiya Bush All Over Again . . . .
Herr Doctor... I think it's time to at least CONSIDER the possibility of freezing the entire operation for a couple of decades again.
It is obvious we're headed for another TVELVE YEARS of OBAMA plus veto-proof DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES in BOTH HOUSES!! Vich will be how they overturn the limitation on the Presidency and have OBAMA MATCH FDR's SIXTEEN YEARS!!
And since ve cannot do the obvious (whoever takes Obama's place vill be far more powerful and formidable) I think ve must consider freezing ourselves to fight another decade.
The state of Texas takes 2 billion MORE a year in federal spending than they contribute in taxes. That's Rick Perry's way of making sure that the real wealth transfer is from NY, IL, and CA to his state and the other Red states.
In the meanwhile they survive on an economy based on a 'national' resource, oil. Of course while the resource may be 'national' it's Texans that reap the benefits. No wonder they're always calling for 'Drill baby drill' and no EPA.
This is the big Republican lie being told over and over: We hate spending. No, they hate spending on things like 'welfare' which they suspect goes to a certain 'type' of people they're not fond of.
The flow of 148 BILLION of federal spending to the state of Texas? Well, that's welfare going to the 'right' sort of folks and isn't really 'government spending' , not the bad kind the Tea Party hates.
The RIGHT Perry is a Bush/Bilderberger puppet of the New World Order
The LEFT Perry is a Hagee-lover ready to lead a crusading Christian Army of God and deny medical insurance for children
ZIONISTS Perry is an Islamophile, enabling the cancer of Islam to infiltrate all sectors of Judeo-Christian-secular America, and even provide halal breakfast for school children
MICHAEL SAVAGE and DONALD TRUMP. We like Rick Perry. We like him a lot.
LEFT/RIGHT/ZIONISTS What the hell do idiots like Savage and Trump know? Where have they ever been in life?
J. WHITE UNION SOCIALIST Forget the fascists and Zionists. The problem with Perry: he's a racist. Why do the green teabaggers like him? Isn't it obvious? They're for David Duke, that's why. Perry said the 14 trillion dollar debt is a "dark cloud" over America. Why would he say "dark cloud"? You can't see or you don't want to see? He's a racist, attacking Obama. That's why. You know what color Obama is. Do I have to remind you? Why are you always talking about race?
REVEREND RAYISS KAARD: JWUS is my favorite cracker. Where can you find a boob like that? (dark chuckle)
[Perry] He is a friend of the Aga Khan, the multimillionaire head of the Ismailis, a Shi'ite sect of Islam that today proclaims its nonviolence but in ages past was the sect that gave rise to the Assassins
DJ,
What do you have on the Ismailis today, as opposed to "in ages past"?
Yes, "in ages past" can be fascinating, as it must have been with New England sects who used to burn women at the stake, not to mention royal Christians in England who could draw and quarter a heretic by tying arms and legs to four horses and then having the steeds race off in all directions.
I'll bet the Ismailis have a colorful history too. But right now I think the focus is on the contemporary Ismailis, no?
4. attacked by Obamunists for Texas "poor" economy, while they fail to explain why so many are fleeing socialist basket cases like California and heading to Texas if Texas is as bad as CA and Illinois and New York etc.

Texas is currently a Red State soon to turn purple then permanently Blue. This process will come to fruition by the 2020 election. That is if we still have a country in 2020. The fact is the demographics of Texas will overwhelmingly be comprised of Mestizos. The last time I checked Mestizos vote Democrat at approximately 3:1 ratio (Note: I'm not talking about ALL Hispanics, just Mestizos. The majority of Cubans vote GOP[BTW, the majority of Cubans are ethnically European]) . This voting pattern will not change, IMO.
Texas, the Republican mainstay of electoral college votes will soon be turned over to the Dems. That spells the end to the chances of the GOP winning the White House from there on in. Too bad most mainstream conservatives can't seem to get that fact through their thick skulls.
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL////When HAMAS’ front in the U.S. (CAIR Network) AND THE ISLAMO-PANDERING MAINSTREAM MEDIA are in ecstasy over Rick Perry, it’s a pretty big sledgehammer of a hint:
gringoNOTE: Huh? What's Debbie drinking? SLIME in ecstasy over Perry? The SLIME that's warning of his Christian ARMY OF GOD, his "poor economy" in Texas, his denying health insurance for the kiddies, his green teabagger "terrorists," his bashing of Helicopter Ben Bernanke, his being "the second coming of Cowboy Bush" etc ad Obamasuckum....and now they're even advertising for any slut or lap dancer in Texas who ever laid eyes (or anything else) on Rick Perry, to come forward and tell the pogwessive pervs her TRUE story.
This is what Debbie Schlussel, a trained Zionist lawyer with a hammer, calls "ecstasy over Perry?" Is Debbie smoking anything?
Hmmmm! Must the Gringo New World Dictionary do a special entry on that word?
ps What's gotten into MICHAEL REAGAN? Ronald's son is endorsing Rick Perry for President. (FYI.....GAB, The Gringo Advisory Board, is not yet endorsing anyone.)
(I know it doesn't stand for Demographic Jihad, or does it?)
Which of your points have not been covered already by the Democrat euphoria over Obama in 2008, as documented in James Carville's Victory Lap book, 40 MORE YEARS, how the Democrats Will Rule?
Libworld was eating up Carville's book like pepperoni pizza. That was then. Election 2010 happened. What happened to Carville's 40 More Years? Are you sending out copies?
But where can they be found? The "Victory Lap" book can't even make remainder shelves.
Or maybe you've advise Carville to try for a paperback reprint?
"Which of your points have not been covered already by the Democrat euphoria over Obama in 2008, as documented in James Carville's Victory Lap book, 40 MORE YEARS, how the Democrats Will Rule?"
----------------
Gringoman,
I see your problem. You read garbage written by space alien looking dudes.
Pope Strikes Progressive Economic Message, Calls For End To ‘Self-Regulation’ | Pope Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Spain today calling for a more equitable, fair, and regulated economy, saying, “[T]he economy cannot be measured only by maximization of profit but rather according to the common good.” As American conservatives call for ever more deregulation, the pontiff said the marketplace “cannot function as a self-regulated economy.” Benedict explained his economic views more fully in a 2009 treatise, which called for protections for “labour unions — which have always been encouraged and supported by the Church,” the elimination of world hunger through “wealth redistribution,” the protection of the “natural environment” — “God’s gift to everyone” — from unchecked economic expansion, and a strengthened “family of nations,” like the U.N. with “real teeth."
The Clintons started Chinagate by laundering Chinese campaign money while still in the White house. We let him accept a plea bargain instead of sending him to jail. Hey guys, this could be bigger than Whitewater.
Could Clinton be guilty of Treason? Would Obama sell him a pardon?
Oh, wait. We have the headline backwards. It’s “Obama says Syria’s Assad must “step aside.” Just like Obama said Libya’s Gadhafi “must go,” back in March, six months ago. Fancy that, our great Muslim leader of the United States, telling other Muslim leaders to step down. Just seems so ironic that we can’t keep the headlines straight. Everyone knows, it’s OBAMA that “must go.” Let Obama step down. Let the alien, lying, black African Communist Muslim traitor step aside.
What are the Syrian people saying? “Obama Step Aside”?
Black Barry of the White House accuses Syrian President Assad?
“His calls for dialogue and reform have rung hollow while he is imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering his own people. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
Actually, these words express how most true Americans feel about the alien in the White House, “president” Barry “Obama” Soetoro, whose words have “rung hollow” for three years, while allowing Americans to be slaughtered by criminal Mexicans–in Mexico and in the United States, to be without jobs (actually around 21.5% unemployed), without income and willing to beg (15% of Americans on food stamps), without hope, and with change–for the worse!
For the sake of the American people, the time has come for President Obama to step aside. Indeed. Thank you, Syria.
Barry Soetoro is locked in self-willed delusion. Never were the words of an American public figure so empty, meaningless, and frustrating. Rush Limbaugh said Obama was an “empty suit” when the alien was first campaigning in 2007. Most experienced, sensible adults knew it all along.
But Barry proved it. Pressured by Donald Trump to identify himself, Barry produced a universally recognized fraudulent birth certificate. I’d call that treason. Barry is an illegal president, and probably an illegal alien. His ascent has been based on lies, fraud, and pretense. What kind of deluded American public would honor such a fake? That is a very serious question. Trump has backed down from the birth certificate issue, but he was right when he said that Obama pulled off the biggest fraud in history. Why doesn’t Trump continue his pursuit of the truth?
It is as if the accuser is most guilty than the accused. To say Barry is an alien liar is to make yourself look lower than he is! How is that possible? Who is pressuring everyone to lay off Barry’s lying personal status? Are people threatened? Why can’t the public see that we have a lying alien in the White House? Is that too unbelievable, too uncomfortable? Would it embarrass Americans to much to admit that they’ve been hoodwinked by a black African liar? Why, that’s worse than being ripped off by a Nigerian on the side walks of New York, buying a fake Rolex. Why, it just can’t be that Obama is completely fake. He’s obviously completely incompetent, and completely anti-American. But, completely fake? That’s just too much.
Monica Crowley, you made a mistake in the story involving the Univeristy of Miami ponzi scheme. You erroneously stated the University of Florida in the introduction of segment. Please clarify your story.
I see an enraged Bill Clinton, angry at his personal humiliation while in office, teeming up with the Chicago anger at white. Did they intend to screw the Middle class?
The DOJ will not press the case of treason. It would have to be Congress. Hearings anyone?
We have seen the Chinese stonewall several western attempts at penetrating their markets. The major players have been rejected, while western markets are still wide open, and suffering.
Google, rebuked. Newscorp- deflected. Apple, faked out. Certainly the fakery and aggression by the Chinese has warranted concern. Investment without a return in China has hurt the US economy. It is unbelievable, that major players have not recommended cutting off the trade as a serious option. There are Coke possibilities, maybe some Macdonald's fries, and someday perhaps bluejeans. This is a failed economy.
What did Obama say to our economic generals, when they suggested pulling out??

4. attacked by Obamunists for Texas "poor" economy, while they fail to explain why so many are fleeing socialist basket cases like California and heading to Texas if Texas is as bad as CA and Illinois and New York etc. Gringoman
Most new private sector jobs in Texas are minumum wage jobs. The ONLY state that has a greater percentage of minimum wage jobs is Mississippi.
Liberal states like New York and Mass. has lower unemployment than Texas.
The housing market is better in Texas. Because states like Calif, Nevada and Florida, that have had massive increases in home values have suffered more than the REST of the country.
As, they say in the Stock market,"Trees only grow so high."
Texas also has one of the biggest deficits in the country.
And, being a right to work state, with low taxes and pro-business. That's why the right ignores that fact.

Gringoman,
I see your problem. You read garbage written by space alien looking dudes.
Thanks for the gift, but right now I'm more interested in untangling your logic.
1. Carville's book was partly about how demographics doom the Republicans. You made it clear, repeatedly, that this is a major DJ theme too, despite the outer space associations.
2. However, Carville's book, you say, is "garbage."
3. Is it garbage because Carville looks like a space alien or
4. Is it garbage despite promoting your demographic theme, i.e. Republicans are doomed?
5. If #4, is it garbage because it covers and documents the very same demographic theme, but with Carville approval, instead of DJ disapproval?
from ATLANTIC MONTHLY comment on CWA strike on VERIZON
Are the union brown shirts threatening local businesses there (WISCONSIN) now?
They've gone past threatening businesses that management or owners that gave money to Republicans. They've begun threatening businesses that have stayed neutral, demanding that they side with the unions.

THE ATLANTIC////// (RE CWA redshirts striking VERIZON, stalking families of executives, demanding that VERIZON cover their Obamacare.)
It says a lot about how f--ed up unions and there apologists are that they think workplace violence is acceptable. In any other setting, threats of violence, let alone attempting to enact those threats, would be grounds for immediate dismissal. But because it comes from a unionized thug it is somehow acceptable.

The Incredible Shrinking Union
By Megan McArdle/ATLANTIC
Aug 17 2011,
Verizon said it was asking for changes to the contract because its wireline business has been declining as people switch to cell phones. Union officials, meanwhile, say the company has been making billions of dollars in profits in the last four years.
The problem is that both of these things are true. Verizon's margins aren't particularly fat right now, but the company is still making a comfortable profit. Unfortunately, the landline business--the division that these workers work for--is collapsing.
gringoNOTE: But even fat, loutish and un-needed workers are still exploited by da capitalists. Read your Marx & Engels, or Democrat talking points.

Unions are in their death throes and have been for decades. It is only the emergence of public sector unions that keep the movement alive, and their days are numbered as the people who must pay the bills realize they are being taken for suckers.
gringoNOTE: How can this be? As go the unions, so go the Democrats. The prophets of Demogrpahic Doom tell us that it's the Republicans who are doomed. The Democrats and their union bosses, we are told, will be gaining millions of new members/voters from distant corn fields, cantinas, bohios, campos, selvas and barrios. Some are expecting a golden age of militant union re-birth, with cries of "Venceremos!"

What the hell ever happened to personal responsibility? Should I unionize and build outhouses and then complain when outhouses are no longer in favor? Or should I take my trade and go into another variant - like building park benches.
As a man, as a worker, and as an individual, I can't stand what modern union strikes represent - the ultimate in childhood temper tantrum. "I want what I want when I want it. And it's not fair that someone else has something ("profits") and I don't!"

That isn’t about to happen with anyone in the current GOP list. I honestly don’t think the dems are ready for the hell that’s about to be unleashed.
And all I can say is, it’s about @#%/ time.
“What’s with all the constitution-loving”? – Joy Behar

Let me be shamelessly political when speaking about the fat lady. Half of Philly is on food stamps, and collecting welfare. You can talks cuts, or go with the flow. Isn't it easier to get someone, say a former climate scientist, to say obesity is good? makes people happy?

M/M, I encourage you to do the same. A protest vote is better than not voting at all, IMO.
Moreover, faux conservatives such as Perry are far worse than liberals. Unfortunately most mainstream conservatives are too brainwashed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh to recognise that simple truth.

Gringoman,
My logic is solid. The message is clear. Third world immigration is destroying our Constitutionally limited Republic. Pat Buchanan, spelled it out in his book. If Carville is in accord with Buchanan, then Carville is right also. It sounds like Carville was 10 or so years premature in his prediction. But the fact is the browning of America will bring with it all the cultural "niceities" of the third world life style. I can't beleive you don't see it coming.
----
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."
"The author's thesis is that secularization (i.e. the pill and abortion) has given rise to a depopulation trend in Europe and North America, such that by 2050 America and Western Europe will be largely inhabited by Third World minorities. He is not making a racist claim, but rather pointing out the likely social impact of this change in the West's ethnic base. Despite the venomous criticisms by other reviewers concerning Mr. Buchanan's views on immigration, he makes a valid point. A country is not just an economy. The nation-state has always been held together by a common language and culture, not merely a belief in certain abstract propositions. There is a historical and qualitative distinction between the European migrations to North America a century ago and the current migrations from the South. Although the Irish experienced prejudice and anti-Catholicism, this did not change the fact that the Irish-Catholic immigrants shared the same European culture, religion and loyalty to their adopted country. This is why Irish-Catholics, German-Lutherans and Italians were able to assimilate and become Americans, rather than balkanized tribes. Under the banner of multiculturalism, many Mexicans, for example, do not immigrate with the intention of assimilation. Instead they intend to reclaim Texas and California for Mexico (there are a number of groups in California and Mexico that have stated this view quite clearly). Moreover, when over one million undocumented Mexicans stream across the border yearly, it is not immigration, it is an invasion. Our linguistic masters, however, refuse to acknowledge it and prefer Newspeak. I fail to understand why the left assumes it is immoral for a nation to control its own borders."
“When I ran for president in 2008, I tried to pressure the Republican candidates to take a hard line against illegal immigration. For this, Perry called me a racist.
When he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted “the children of undocumented workers” special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so.
“The message is simple,” Perry concluded, “educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” Education is the future, and (echoing Cesar Chavez’s slogan) yes we can.]
Just a few weeks ago, Perry defended his decision to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. He said “to punish these young Texans for their parents’ actions is not what America has always been about.”[Rick Perry not a true conservative Politico.com, August 11, 2011 (Links added)]
First of all, these are not “young Texans”–they are young Mexicans who live in Texas. Secondly, in letting them get cheap, Texas funded educations, he’s taking an opportunity away from some actual young Texans.
"If ever there were a post title that people would think was a joke, this is it. There was a time, however, when there were thousands of blacks in the Klan. While some folks over 40 are aware that blacks served with the Union Army during the Civil War and fewer people are aware that blacks also fought with the Confederate Army, almost no one is aware that blacks were members of the KKK. Info is scarce, but here are some basics: (I'll have the source link at the end.)
"The Ku Klux Spirit", by J.A. Rogers, noted Negro historian of the 1920's. The Ku Klux Spirit was first published in 1923, by Messenger Publishing Co. It was republished in 1980, by Black Classic Press. On page 34 of his book we find the amazing passage: "A fact not generally known is that there were thousands of Negro Klansmen. These were used as spies on other Negroes and on Northern Whites."
Albion Winegar Tourgee (1838-1905). In 1880 he published his book, "A Fool's Errand", (New York: Fords, Howard and Hubert). It was republished in 1989 by Louisiana State University Press as, "The Invisible Empire". On page 79 of his book we find the passage: "There were no Colored men in the band (of Klansmen) that night. Their hands were not covered. I could see their boots and pants, and I could judge from their hands and feet. Most of them were genteel people, besides being white people. I could also have told by their language if there had been any Colored people among them. Their language was that of white men, and cultivated men."
"Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography", by Jack Hurst. On page 305 we find this interesting quote: "...(the Klan was) reorganized to oppose radical proponents (the Radical Republicans) of what it perceived to be Black domination, NOT to scourge Blacks themselves. Although it has been written that Ku Klux Klan ranks were open only to the more than 100,000 honorably discharged ex-Confederate veterans, the hierarchy in some areas and some instances seems to have accepted and even recruited Blacks, provided they went along with Conservative-Democratic political philosophy. In Memphis of late 1868, sixty-five Blacks organized a "Colored Democratic Club" under the watchful eye of Klansman-editor Gallaway - - who according to an account in the Appeal, "made a motion on behalf of the White men present, that they give employment and protection to Colored democrats." (Yes, it was the Democrats that started the KKK, just ask former Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd)
One source of information is from the book: Hard Times by Studs Terkel (1970, New York). The book is about the conditions in this country during the Great Depression. On page 239 :
“The Ku Klux was formed on behalf of people that wanted a decent living, both black and white. Half the coal camp was colored. It wasn’t anti-colored. The black people had the same responsibilities as the white. Their lawn was just as green as the white man’s. They got the same rate of pay. There was two colored who belonged to it. I remember those two coming around my father and asking questions about it. They joined. The pastor of our community church was a colored man. He was Ku Klux. It was the only protection the working man had. ……. One time a Negro slapped a white boy. They didn’t give him any warning. They whipped him and ran him out of town. If a white man slapped a colored kid, they’d have dome the same thing. They didn’t go in for beating up Negroes because they were Negroes. What they did was keep the community decent to live in. What they did object to was obscenity and drinking.”
=============================
Quite a while ago I remember seeing some more info on blacks in the Klan, but it basically echoed what is shown above. By 1915, when the "new" Klan came about, the number of blacks in the Klan declined. During the 1920's Klan membership exceeded 3 million, and that was at a time when the U.S. population was about a third of what it is today.
As we can see, most blacks in the Klan were used as spies. Some, however, weren't.
Spin this bit of history as you will, but it is interesting."
Looking forward to Princess take on the new comet in GOP Sky: RICK PERRY So far, this extremely authentic Texan (infinitely more authentic than The Boosh transplants from New England) has been
1. hit by MIchelle Malkin over his admitted 'mistake' with ordering anti-VD vaccinations for teenaged girls
2. slimed by Obamunists for talking to vintage American Christian extremists like John Hagee (while the Obamunists are fine with their Obama's history of association with muslim extremists, Farrakhan extremists, Black Nationalist extremists, Left extremists and outright terrorists who have bombed and murdered inside the US)
3. attacked by Obamunist stat mongers for Texas economy and jobs (while they ignore the refutation by a serious, meticulous statistician linked here by Buck.
4. attacked by Obamunists for Texas "poor" economy, while they fail to explain why so many are fleeing socialist basket cases like California and heading to Texas if Texas is as bad as CA and Illinois and New York etc.
5. attacked by House of Boosh apparatchik Karl Rove and The OBama himself for "harsh language" against Helipcopter Ben Bernanke, who many experts will tell you is destroying the dollar and paving the way for hyperinflation that will eviscerate MIddle Class assets denominated in dollars.
6. attacked by the Left as an Army of God crazy and the Right as a "Bush-Bilderberger puppet"
Meanwhile, these critics may have to work on The Donald. Why?
DONALD TRUMP: I like Rick Perry. I like him a lot. He came to see me. He's passionate. Do I think he'd make a very good President? Yes, I do think that.
So we know what the harpies think. We also know what Donald Trump, an extremely experienced and astute judge of character, thinks.
And what thinks our House of Boosh-friendly Princess?

Any (and every) candidate who hopes to win the Republican nomination and, ultimately, the presidency must understand the threat of the stealth jihad.

Herr Doctor... I think it's time to at least CONSIDER the possibility of freezing the entire operation for a couple of decades again.
It is obvious we're headed for another TVELVE YEARS of OBAMA plus veto-proof DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES in BOTH HOUSES!! Vich will be how they overturn the limitation on the Presidency and have OBAMA MATCH FDR's SIXTEEN YEARS!!
And since ve cannot do the obvious (whoever takes Obama's place vill be far more powerful and formidable) I think ve must consider freezing ourselves to fight another decade.
Possibly 2060?

The state of Texas takes 2 billion MORE a year in federal spending than they contribute in taxes. That's Rick Perry's way of making sure that the real wealth transfer is from NY, IL, and CA to his state and the other Red states.
In the meanwhile they survive on an economy based on a 'national' resource, oil. Of course while the resource may be 'national' it's Texans that reap the benefits. No wonder they're always calling for 'Drill baby drill' and no EPA.
This is the big Republican lie being told over and over: We hate spending. No, they hate spending on things like 'welfare' which they suspect goes to a certain 'type' of people they're not fond of.
The flow of 148 BILLION of federal spending to the state of Texas? Well, that's welfare going to the 'right' sort of folks and isn't really 'government spending' , not the bad kind the Tea Party hates.

Perry said the 14 trillion dollar debt is a "dark cloud" over America. Why would he say "dark cloud"? You can't see or you don't want to see? He's a racist, attacking Obama. That's why. You know what color Obama is. Do I have to remind you? Why are you always talking about race?

[Perry] He is a friend of the Aga Khan, the multimillionaire head of the Ismailis, a Shi'ite sect of Islam that today proclaims its nonviolence but in ages past was the sect that gave rise to the Assassins
DJ,
What do you have on the Ismailis today, as opposed to "in ages past"?
Yes, "in ages past" can be fascinating, as it must have been with New England sects who used to burn women at the stake, not to mention royal Christians in England who could draw and quarter a heretic by tying arms and legs to four horses and then having the steeds race off in all directions.
I'll bet the Ismailis have a colorful history too. But right now I think the focus is on the contemporary Ismailis, no?

--------------
Texas is currently a Red State soon to turn purple then permanently Blue. This process will come to fruition by the 2020 election. That is if we still have a country in 2020. The fact is the demographics of Texas will overwhelmingly be comprised of Mestizos. The last time I checked Mestizos vote Democrat at approximately 3:1 ratio (Note: I'm not talking about ALL Hispanics, just Mestizos. The majority of Cubans vote GOP[BTW, the majority of Cubans are ethnically European]) . This voting pattern will not change, IMO.
Texas, the Republican mainstay of electoral college votes will soon be turned over to the Dems. That spells the end to the chances of the GOP winning the White House from there on in. Too bad most mainstream conservatives can't seem to get that fact through their thick skulls.

Pope Strikes Progressive Economic Message, Calls For End To ‘Self-Regulation’ | Pope Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Spain today calling for a more equitable, fair, and regulated economy, saying, “[T]he economy cannot be measured only by maximization of profit but rather according to the common good.” As American conservatives call for ever more deregulation, the pontiff said the marketplace “cannot function as a self-regulated economy.” Benedict explained his economic views more fully in a 2009 treatise, which called for protections for “labour unions — which have always been encouraged and supported by the Church,” the elimination of world hunger through “wealth redistribution,” the protection of the “natural environment” — “God’s gift to everyone” — from unchecked economic expansion, and a strengthened “family of nations,” like the U.N. with “real teeth."

Syria Calls for Obama to Step Aside
by David Yeagley · August 18, 2011 · ·
“Obama must go!” says the Syrian government.
Oh, wait. We have the headline backwards. It’s “Obama says Syria’s Assad must “step aside.” Just like Obama said Libya’s Gadhafi “must go,” back in March, six months ago. Fancy that, our great Muslim leader of the United States, telling other Muslim leaders to step down. Just seems so ironic that we can’t keep the headlines straight. Everyone knows, it’s OBAMA that “must go.” Let Obama step down. Let the alien, lying, black African Communist Muslim traitor step aside.
What are the Syrian people saying? “Obama Step Aside”?
Black Barry of the White House accuses Syrian President Assad?
“His calls for dialogue and reform have rung hollow while he is imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering his own people. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
Actually, these words express how most true Americans feel about the alien in the White House, “president” Barry “Obama” Soetoro, whose words have “rung hollow” for three years, while allowing Americans to be slaughtered by criminal Mexicans–in Mexico and in the United States, to be without jobs (actually around 21.5% unemployed), without income and willing to beg (15% of Americans on food stamps), without hope, and with change–for the worse!
For the sake of the American people, the time has come for President Obama to step aside. Indeed. Thank you, Syria.
Barry Soetoro is locked in self-willed delusion. Never were the words of an American public figure so empty, meaningless, and frustrating. Rush Limbaugh said Obama was an “empty suit” when the alien was first campaigning in 2007. Most experienced, sensible adults knew it all along.
But Barry proved it. Pressured by Donald Trump to identify himself, Barry produced a universally recognized fraudulent birth certificate. I’d call that treason. Barry is an illegal president, and probably an illegal alien. His ascent has been based on lies, fraud, and pretense. What kind of deluded American public would honor such a fake? That is a very serious question. Trump has backed down from the birth certificate issue, but he was right when he said that Obama pulled off the biggest fraud in history. Why doesn’t Trump continue his pursuit of the truth?
It is as if the accuser is most guilty than the accused. To say Barry is an alien liar is to make yourself look lower than he is! How is that possible? Who is pressuring everyone to lay off Barry’s lying personal status? Are people threatened? Why can’t the public see that we have a lying alien in the White House? Is that too unbelievable, too uncomfortable? Would it embarrass Americans to much to admit that they’ve been hoodwinked by a black African liar? Why, that’s worse than being ripped off by a Nigerian on the side walks of New York, buying a fake Rolex. Why, it just can’t be that Obama is completely fake. He’s obviously completely incompetent, and completely anti-American. But, completely fake? That’s just too much.

It is unbelievable, that major players have not recommended cutting off the trade as a serious option. There are Coke possibilities, maybe some Macdonald's fries, and someday perhaps bluejeans. This is a failed economy.

Most new private sector jobs in Texas are minumum wage jobs. The ONLY state that has a greater percentage of minimum wage jobs is Mississippi.
Liberal states like New York and Mass. has lower unemployment than Texas.
The housing market is better in Texas. Because states like Calif, Nevada and Florida, that have had massive increases in home values have suffered more than the REST of the country.
As, they say in the Stock market,"Trees only grow so high."
Texas also has one of the biggest deficits in the country.
And, being a right to work state, with low taxes and pro-business. That's why the right ignores that fact.

The Incredible Shrinking Union
By Megan McArdle/ATLANTIC
Aug 17 2011,
Verizon said it was asking for changes to the contract because its wireline business has been declining as people switch to cell phones. Union officials, meanwhile, say the company has been making billions of dollars in profits in the last four years.
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/08/the-incredible-shrinking-union/243761/
The problem is that both of these things are true. Verizon's margins aren't particularly fat right now, but the company is still making a comfortable profit. Unfortunately, the landline business--the division that these workers work for--is collapsing.
gringoNOTE: But even fat, loutish and un-needed workers are still exploited by da capitalists. Read your Marx & Engels, or Democrat talking points.

Gringoman,
My logic is solid. The message is clear. Third world immigration is destroying our Constitutionally limited Republic. Pat Buchanan, spelled it out in his book. If Carville is in accord with Buchanan, then Carville is right also. It sounds like Carville was 10 or so years premature in his prediction. But the fact is the browning of America will bring with it all the cultural "niceities" of the third world life style. I can't beleive you don't see it coming.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."

Re. The Death of the West by Pat Buchanan:
"The author's thesis is that secularization (i.e. the pill and abortion) has given rise to a depopulation trend in Europe and North America, such that by 2050 America and Western Europe will be largely inhabited by Third World minorities. He is not making a racist claim, but rather pointing out the likely social impact of this change in the West's ethnic base. Despite the venomous criticisms by other reviewers concerning Mr. Buchanan's views on immigration, he makes a valid point. A country is not just an economy. The nation-state has always been held together by a common language and culture, not merely a belief in certain abstract propositions. There is a historical and qualitative distinction between the European migrations to North America a century ago and the current migrations from the South. Although the Irish experienced prejudice and anti-Catholicism, this did not change the fact that the Irish-Catholic immigrants shared the same European culture, religion and loyalty to their adopted country. This is why Irish-Catholics, German-Lutherans and Italians were able to assimilate and become Americans, rather than balkanized tribes. Under the banner of multiculturalism, many Mexicans, for example, do not immigrate with the intention of assimilation. Instead they intend to reclaim Texas and California for Mexico (there are a number of groups in California and Mexico that have stated this view quite clearly). Moreover, when over one million undocumented Mexicans stream across the border yearly, it is not immigration, it is an invasion. Our linguistic masters, however, refuse to acknowledge it and prefer Newspeak. I fail to understand why the left assumes it is immoral for a nation to control its own borders."
Posted by: DJ | August 19, 2011 at 09:28 AM
Tom Tancredo writes
“When I ran for president in 2008, I tried to pressure the Republican candidates to take a hard line against illegal immigration. For this, Perry called me a racist.
When he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted “the children of undocumented workers” special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so.
“The message is simple,” Perry concluded, “educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” Education is the future, and (echoing Cesar Chavez’s slogan) yes we can.]
Just a few weeks ago, Perry defended his decision to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. He said “to punish these young Texans for their parents’ actions is not what America has always been about.”[Rick Perry not a true conservative Politico.com, August 11, 2011 (Links added)]
First of all, these are not “young Texans”–they are young Mexicans who live in Texas. Secondly, in letting them get cheap, Texas funded educations, he’s taking an opportunity away from some actual young Texans.

"If ever there were a post title that people would think was a joke, this is it. There was a time, however, when there were thousands of blacks in the Klan. While some folks over 40 are aware that blacks served with the Union Army during the Civil War and fewer people are aware that blacks also fought with the Confederate Army, almost no one is aware that blacks were members of the KKK. Info is scarce, but here are some basics: (I'll have the source link at the end.)
"The Ku Klux Spirit", by J.A. Rogers, noted Negro historian of the 1920's. The Ku Klux Spirit was first published in 1923, by Messenger Publishing Co. It was republished in 1980, by Black Classic Press. On page 34 of his book we find the amazing passage: "A fact not generally known is that there were thousands of Negro Klansmen. These were used as spies on other Negroes and on Northern Whites."
Albion Winegar Tourgee (1838-1905). In 1880 he published his book, "A Fool's Errand", (New York: Fords, Howard and Hubert). It was republished in 1989 by Louisiana State University Press as, "The Invisible Empire". On page 79 of his book we find the passage: "There were no Colored men in the band (of Klansmen) that night. Their hands were not covered. I could see their boots and pants, and I could judge from their hands and feet. Most of them were genteel people, besides being white people. I could also have told by their language if there had been any Colored people among them. Their language was that of white men, and cultivated men."
"Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography", by Jack Hurst. On page 305 we find this interesting quote: "...(the Klan was) reorganized to oppose radical proponents (the Radical Republicans) of what it perceived to be Black domination, NOT to scourge Blacks themselves. Although it has been written that Ku Klux Klan ranks were open only to the more than 100,000 honorably discharged ex-Confederate veterans, the hierarchy in some areas and some instances seems to have accepted and even recruited Blacks, provided they went along with Conservative-Democratic political philosophy. In Memphis of late 1868, sixty-five Blacks organized a "Colored Democratic Club" under the watchful eye of Klansman-editor Gallaway - - who according to an account in the Appeal, "made a motion on behalf of the White men present, that they give employment and protection to Colored democrats." (Yes, it was the Democrats that started the KKK, just ask former Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd)
One source of information is from the book: Hard Times by Studs Terkel (1970, New York). The book is about the conditions in this country during the Great Depression. On page 239 :
“The Ku Klux was formed on behalf of people that wanted a decent living, both black and white. Half the coal camp was colored. It wasn’t anti-colored. The black people had the same responsibilities as the white. Their lawn was just as green as the white man’s. They got the same rate of pay. There was two colored who belonged to it. I remember those two coming around my father and asking questions about it. They joined. The pastor of our community church was a colored man. He was Ku Klux. It was the only protection the working man had. ……. One time a Negro slapped a white boy. They didn’t give him any warning. They whipped him and ran him out of town. If a white man slapped a colored kid, they’d have dome the same thing. They didn’t go in for beating up Negroes because they were Negroes. What they did was keep the community decent to live in. What they did object to was obscenity and drinking.”
=============================
Quite a while ago I remember seeing some more info on blacks in the Klan, but it basically echoed what is shown above. By 1915, when the "new" Klan came about, the number of blacks in the Klan declined. During the 1920's Klan membership exceeded 3 million, and that was at a time when the U.S. population was about a third of what it is today.
As we can see, most blacks in the Klan were used as spies. Some, however, weren't.
Spin this bit of history as you will, but it is interesting."
