Have seen effects of Keystone pipeline [Full Thread] Post Date: 2012-02-25 23:05:01 by lucysmom

I would like to respond to Charles Davison's Feb. 13 letter to the editor regarding the Keystone XL pipeline. As a summer resident for some years now of Day County in South Dakota, I have observed firsthand some of the effects of the first Keystone pipeline now in operation. I am taken aback by Davison's statement that the dangers of a leaking pipeline into the aquifers is nothing. It is certainly nothing to him if it is not his water or land being contaminated. Keystone has had 13 leaks on U.S. soil since going operational. One in Day County was not reported to any government agency at the time of the spill. Lucky for Day County residents, it was a somewhat small and ...
Conservatives crow over push for privatization in British NHS, compare apples to oranges Post Date: 2012-02-21 22:49:00 by lucysmom

Hot Air and the daily caller are excited to pronounce socialized medicine dead as the British NHS plans to contract with private hospitals and providers on top of socialized care. From The Caller: Joseph A. Morris, a former Reagan White House lawyer who now serves on the board of the American Conservative Union, told TheDC that socialized medicine has turned out to be a threat to Britons' health, and to their economy as well. "Europe's message to the world is no longer that the socialist dream of the cradle-to-grave welfare state is an easy achievement," Morris said. "Rather, it is the shouted warning that it is a fool's paradise. The bills are coming due and ...

As per his daily garbage-dumpster dumping aka "posting-of-threads", Brian S's job here at LF is to post threads here that run down Constitutionalism and Conservatism, and/or provide oppositional propaganda that supports the re-election of the satanic Muslim-Kenyan-Commie. In other words, it has been my observation that he is a Leftist Shill and aider, abettor, and promoter of national treachery and treason. But at least GO65 seemed in retrospect not to be so obvious about it.
Does he/she/it have company here? Of course - we all know who the Leftist Loons (hiccup) are. Some of the neo-Statists at several forums aren't much better at promoting their own ...
Private Property vs. ‘Your Stuff’ Post Date: 2012-02-21 16:30:07 by Hondo68

I dont know what it is about the word property. Every time I think about it, the thought seems to include such state baggage as titles, and places to record those titles like county courthouses, and arguments in court over who owns it, and state regulations on transferring it, and even taxes! The latest big fuss over intellectual property does nothing to change this impression; rather, it is reinforced. Is property such a great deal after all? What, really, is it? The Wikipedia article contains lots of descriptions and theories about it, many of them conflicting. Apparently, people have many different ideas about it; that is, its meaning is not a ...
Why Right-Wingers' Hatred of Modern Women Is Going to Cost Them the Birth Control Battle (and a Whole Lot of Votes) Post Date: 2012-02-21 12:18:40 by Brian S

For many pundits and politicians on the Right, the visceral impulse to shame women for being in control of their own sexuality is so overwhelming that they appear to be totally incapable of maintaining their usual message discipline. That's going to cost them the fight over contraception. The polling on the Obama administration's recent accommodation with the Catholic bishops reveals an important trend. When the issue is framed as a battle over religious liberty for institutions associated with the church, Americans are deeply divided. When it's about access to contraception, they're not overwhelming majorities are in favor of mandating that ...

The New Blacklist By Pat Buchanan My days as a political analyst at MSNBC have come to an end. After 10 enjoyable years, I am departing, after an incessant clamor from the left that to permit me continued access to the microphones of MSNBC would be an outrage against decency, and dangerous. The calls for my firing began almost immediately with the Oct. 18 publication of "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" A group called Color of Change, whose mission statement says that it "exists to strengthen Black America's political voice," claimed that my book espouses a "white supremacist ideology."

Eight Things Barack Obama has Done to Make the World a More Peaceful Place. Post Date: 2012-02-19 01:59:21 by A K A Stone
1 Comments
There is a refrain I encountered over and over across the Internet and in the media today: it says that President Obama has offered nothing more than speeches and vision in the cause of peace. Now, Im not arguing that he has done enough to merit the Nobel Peace Prize, but his administration has *taken definitive action* to make the world a more peaceful place than the one left by his predecessor. 1. Announced Unequivocal End to Torture, Ordered the Closing of Guantanamo and the Closing of Secret Prisons. Three for the price of one! 2. Improved Relations with Iran. Remember when we were worried about a potential invasion of Iran while we were already mired in Iraq and Afghanistan ...
Sen. Brown/Sen. Kennedy – the Essential Difference Post Date: 2012-02-18 14:53:19 by Ferret Mike

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) now has invoked the memory of the late Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA), my former boss, to justify his co-sponsorship of Senator Roy Blunt's (R-MO) legislation to permit any employer or insurance company to deny coverage for any essential or preventive health benefit based on the employer or insurer's religious belief or moral conviction. In defending his actions, Brown references Senator Kennedy's 1995 health reform legislation which would have ensured that a "health professional or a health facility may not be required to provide an item or service under a certified health plan if the professional or facility objects to doing so on the basis of a ...

The Destructive Madness of Extremism: First McCarthyism, Then Radical Zionism Post Date: 2012-02-17 19:30:30 by Brian S

The right-wing government leaders of the state of Israel, bolstered by their powerful US allies, are trembling with excitement at the prospect of a military attack against Iran. Everything is in place for Iraq Redux. This time the Extremists are determined to get it right. No ground troops, just highly sophisticated bombing runs that will target nuclear targets in Iran. The American public is being manipulated by Israel's Zionist extremists to believe that Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear arms which will be able to "wipe Israel off the map." Time to choose up sides, folks: Are you with us or against us? GA_googleFillSlot("Ad_Shuffle"); Republican ...

High importance message distributed by Senior Navy official An email leaked by multiple active duty personnel shows that the military has issued a warning to troops encouraging them not to take part in the upcoming Veterans for Ron Paul 2012 march in Washington on Monday. The email, posted to the groups facebook event page and sent to organiser Adam Kokesh by several unconfirmed sources, lays out several directives on participation in political events by active and non active duty military. Referring to the event as a partisan political march, the insinuation is clear any active duty personnel, whether in uniform or not, and any reservists marching in ...

Iran: The Ultimate Test of Obama's Manhood Post Date: 2012-02-15 19:13:45 by Brian S

The most discouraging headline of the past week? The NYTimes' "Israel Hawks Warm to Obama." Translation: Prime Minister Netanyahu and his extreme right-wing government think President Obama is on board with an airstrike against Iran. Have we learned nothing from nine years of war in Iraq and ten more in Afghanistan? Could this be the year when Barack Obama makes George Bush look smart? Could Obama be somehow maneuvered by Israel into a war with Iran that would make Bush's forays into Iraq and Afghanistan look positively glorious. As Paul Pillar, CIA veteran and former National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia, warned last week, in the context of the ...

In the years of conscious, self-inflicted decline at home, losses continued to mount elsewhere. In the past decade, for the first time in 500 years, South America has taken successful steps to free itself from western domination, another serious loss. The region has moved towards integration, and has begun to address some of the terrible internal problems of societies ruled by mostly Europeanized elites, tiny islands of extreme wealth in a sea of misery. They have also rid themselves of all U.S. military bases and of IMF controls. A newly formed organization, CELAC, includes all countries of the hemisphere apart from the U.S. and Canada. If it actually functions, that would be ...

20 Things We Can Learn About The Future Of America From The Death Of Detroit Post Date: 2012-02-15 07:02:49 by A K A Stone

Do you want to know what the future of America is going to look like? Just check out what is happening to Detroit. The city of Detroit was once one of the greatest industrial cities in the history of the world, but today it is a rotting, decaying, post-apocalyptic hellhole. Nearly half the men are unemployed, nearly half the population is functionally illiterate, more than half of the children are living in poverty and the city government is drowning in debt. As economic conditions have gotten worse, crime has absolutely exploded. Every single night in Detroit there are frightening confrontations between desperate criminals and exasperated homeowners. Unfortunately, the police force in ...
Buchanan: On to Tehran -- or is it Damascus? Post Date: 2012-02-14 12:58:28 by Brian S

Our War Party has been temporarily diverted from its clamor for war on Iran by the insurrection against the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. Estimates of the dead since the Syrian uprising began a year ago approach 6,000. And responsibility for the carnage is being laid at the feet of the president who succeeded his dictator-father Hafez al-Assad, who ruled from 1971 until his death in 2000. Unlike Egypt's Hosni Mubarak who buckled, broke and departed after three weeks of protests, Bashar is not going quietly. And, predictably, with the death toll rising, those champions of world democratic revolution -- John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham -- have begun beating the drums ...

Where the Right Went Wrong Post Date: 2012-02-12 18:47:53 by Brian S

Interview With Bruce Bartlett: Where the Right Went Wrong BILL MOYERS: Heather McGhee speaks of how the neoliberal economic experience of the last 30 years including cutting taxes on the rich and waiting for the wealth and prosperity to trickle down -- has left her generation of Millennials standing under a spigot someone forgot to turn on. After a few drips and drops, it went dry. So did the very notion of equal opportunity for all. And today were living in a country deeply divided between winners and losers. Nowhere is that more evident than in our tax system so distorted by loopholes, exemptions, credits, and deductions favoring the already rich and powerful that it ...

Sarah Palin suggests Obama released his birth certificate to overshadow Ben Bernanke's press conference. But why? Of all the conspiracy theories swarming around the ridiculous question of where President Obama was born, my choice for most incomprehensible arrived this morning: The president, according to an avalanche of tweets, released a copy of his longform birth certificate specifically in order to distract attention from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes first-ever press conference. In inimitable fashion, Sarah Palin led the way, managing in the space of 140 characters to suggest both that Obama had been forced into the release and that it was some kind of insidious ...
Buchanan: Who Wants War With Iran? Post Date: 2012-02-07 14:02:50 by Brian S
0 Comments
Appearing alongside CIA Director David Petraeus before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence last week, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said of Iran: "We don't believe they've actually made the decision to go ahead with a nuclear weapon." Before the hearing, as James Fallows of The Atlantic reports, Clapper released his "Worldwide Threat Assessment." It read, "We do not know ... if Iran will eventually decide to build nuclear weapons." Clapper thus reaffirmed the assessment of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007, reportedly repeated in 2011, that the U.S. does not believe that Iran has decided to become a nuclear weapons ...
US Iran Policy in 'Lockstep' with Israel?: President Obama Risks Becoming a Major-League War Criminal Post Date: 2012-02-06 19:19:24 by Brian S

Its a relief to know that President Obamas preferred solution to dealing with disagreements with Iran is diplomacy, as he said yesterday in an interview on NBC TV, but at the same time, its profoundly disturbing that he is simultaneously saying that, as an AP report on the interview put it: he would not take options off the table to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Equally disturbing are the presidents mutually contradictory statements that, on the one hand, he feels that Any kind of additional military activity inside the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us, and that on the other, he will make sure that we ...
