Spotting Wiccans: This information could save a Christian life! Post Date: 2012-02-06 06:53:09 by A K A Stone

Wiccans are generally overweight and of pale complexion. If they are not pale, they use powder or makeup (even male Wiccans!) to generate the illusion of paleness or death. Wiccans are given to the piercing of skin as a sign of submission to their master, Satan. Look for multiple piercing and piercing in peculiar places like the nose, cheeks, eyebrows, lips, fingertips, chin, forehead, tongue, and on the shocking devils tip of the ear! Some Wiccans pierce their genitals as well. If you happen to peek over into the stall next to you and see a urination stream spraying in three directions (to mock the Trinity), it is likely the person is a Wiccan who just had the tip of his penis ...
It is official: Elections in America are a complete hoax Post Date: 2012-02-05 23:45:44 by A K A Stone

It is now almost 24 hours after voters in Nevada went to their caucuses to try to cast their votes and we still mysteriously only have results for 71.1% of the caucuses . The remaining caucuses that are still not reported actually make up the most populated caucuses in the entire state. We were told late last night that all the votes cast in Clark County had to be recounted to ensure accuracy before they would release any of the numbers to the press. Excuse me? Where does one even begin to voice their outrage regarding this complete joke of a corrupt system we are all witnessing? If you believe the results finally coming out of Nevada, you must be living on Fantasy Island. How can caucuses ...
How the Komen Decision Had Race and Class Written All Over It Post Date: 2012-02-05 10:21:30 by lucysmom

snip The political game over abortion, however, is really not much more than a subtext of the bigger clashes over race and class. What was missed during this entire week of debate is that the Komen flap had all kinds of race and class written all over it. But, no one really wanted to step into that. Gatekeepers of partisan talking points struggled with every last breath on talk shows to stay away from either conversation, pretty much using abortion as the perfect cover. Untouched was the fact that this was pretty much a decision made by pink-ribbon wearing affluent White women comfortably detached from the reality of what Planned Parenthood is doing and who benefits from those services. ...
Buchanan: Ron Paul, Reactionary or Visionary Post Date: 2012-02-03 14:23:15 by Brian S

After his fourth-place showing in Florida, Ron Paul, by then in Nevada, told supporters he had been advised by friends that he would do better if only he dumped his foreign policy views, which have been derided as isolationism. Not going to do it, said Dr. Paul to cheers. And why should he? Observing developments in U.S. foreign and defense policy, Paul's views seem as far out in front of where America is heading as John McCain's seem to belong to yesterday's Bush-era bellicosity. Consider. In December, the last U.S. troops left Iraq. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta now says that all U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan will end in 18 months. The strategic outposts of empire are ...
The Empty Contrarianism of Tea Party 'Leaders' Post Date: 2012-02-02 12:16:31 by Brian S

There were two really impressive facts about the Tea Party. One was the way it managed to convince tens of thousands of Americans to care about the very dry matters of budget policy. That didn't always mean that the level of discourse was on par with the Krugmans and Mankiws of the world, but it was fundamentally a movement that had a real policy goal: lowering taxes, slashing the budget and lowering the deficit. Its second great strength was its leaderlessness. Yes, groups like FreedomWorks and benefactors like the Koch brothers gave it monetary and organizational muscle, but the movement's behavior -- feuding over who was really a Tea Party candidate, or managing to nominate ...

6 Shocking Ways Capitalism Is Failing Working America Post Date: 2012-02-01 12:56:34 by Brian S

Capitalism is coming apart at the seams and the middle-class is paying the price. This weeks news alone bombards us with examples of how, absent a dramatic rethink, our "free-enterprise" system may never again provide enough decent jobs for those who need and want them. 1. iSlavery Apple is arguably the worlds most successful company. Yet most of the 700,000 jobs needed to produce its cherished products are located abroad, especially in China. Why doesnt Apple manufacture in the United States? Charles Duhigg and Keith Bradsher writing for the New York Times reveal that Apple is looking for a cheap, flexible workforce that can be put to work whenever ...
Alinsky And Gingrich—Separated At Birth? Alinsky's Son Speaks Post Date: 2012-01-30 15:18:41 by Brian S

When Newt Gingrich fulminates, the name of Saul Alinsky springs easily to his lips. President Obama is, you know, a "Saul Alinsky radical." The race for president is "American exceptionalism versus the radicalism of Saul Alinsky." Just about everybody who knows anything about Alinsky has weighed in on Gingrich's zany offensive, often with a guess-it-takes-one-to-know-one air of amused irony. For instance, here's how the Tribune's Eric Zorn began his remarks: "I suspect Saul Alinsky would nod with grudging admiration at the way GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich repeatedly injects his name into speeches and interviews." And here's Philip ...
Buchanan: Who Commissioned Us To Remake The World? Post Date: 2012-01-27 13:16:21 by Brian S

U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul, Obama's man in Moscow, who just took up his post, has received a rude reception. And understandably so. In 1992, McFaul was the representative in Russia of the National Democratic Institute, a U.S. government-funded agency whose mission is to promote democracy abroad. The NDI has been tied to color-coded or Orange revolutions such as those that dethroned regimes in Serbia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Lebanon. The project miscarried in Belarus. The NDI is one of several agencies, dating to the 1980s, that were set up to subvert communist regimes. With the end of the Cold War, however, these agencies were not decommissioned, but recommissioned to ...

I have started this post without a title, as I'm still trying to sort out which might be the best subject for a post. The slow motion car crash of the Euro is always tempting. Then there is the current state of China, which increasingly appears to be in trouble. Then there is the US 'recovery' or the latest discussions at Davos. For the last point, an interesting perspective was aired at the forum in Davos, and it may be that it can tie together some of the many stories that are being discussed. This from Jeremy Warner of the Telegraph: The contrast between Western gloom and Eastern optimism is again striking this year, and it is something that goes beyond the immediate ...

Dear President Obama, Yesterday you told us to eat our peas. You even told us to pull off the bandaid in the context of raising the debt ceiling, and spending more money we will never have on Obamacare. I cannot fathom a President in my memory speaking in a manner that you have chosen to. I guess it is just a barometer of how bad our standards have fallen. I see it all around me, cars cant be fixed because children have been taught that fixing them is beneath them. Adults like you act like infants at microphones. Then there is The Forgotten Man, people like me, who just want everything to get back to normal without having to take the next historical step to get to that ...

Edelman is one of the worlds most respected public relations firm. Every year they do a big global survey in order to report on that most elusive of subjects trust. For this years edition they asked 1,000 members of the general public in each of 25 countries to respond to their online survey, but also at least 200 members of the informed public in each country richer, older, college-educated and eager consumers of news and public policy. So, who do they trust, what do they want and what does that mean for you and me? Well, Edelman the clean-up crew of the corporate world wouldnt quite put it this way but I will: they want, in large ...
GRANIA THE MORON: Bachman most qualified Post Date: 2012-01-22 11:20:49 by A K A Stone

I supported Bachmann. It almost seemed like a setup with the bad advisors she had. I wish she'd stayed in, as she's the most qualified. Interesting how the media and ptb marginalized and ignored her after the straw-poll victory in Iowa. One would assume that they, too, knew that she would be a real good candidate to articulate conservative values and match up well against Obama.

‘Israel Firster’ Gets At An Inconvenient Truth Post Date: 2012-01-21 14:51:31 by Brian S

By Philip WeissThe new battleground in the argument over Israels influence on American policy is the idea that some of those pushing an attack on Iran are Israel Firsters.The term has been used by MJ Rosenberg of Media Matters and Zaid Jilani, formerly of Center for American Progress. Israel supporters have struck back hard. They claim that using the term is anti-Semitic because it calls on a long history of questioning Jews loyalty to western countries.Yesterday Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street bravely defended the use of the expression in an interview with the Washington Post. If the charge is that youre putting the interests of another country before the ...
Newt Gingrich and the Tofflers Post Date: 2012-01-20 19:05:09 by Brian S

Glenn Beck recently interviewed Newt Gingrich and asked the former Speaker who was his favorite President. Newt said it was Teddy Roosevelt, the famous Progressive whose Bull Moose Party made it possible for liberal Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the presidency in 1912. Beck drew from that reply that Newt was a Progressive. Gingrich denied that he was, but Beck was not convinced. After all, if you love Teddy Roosevelt, youve got to be a Progressive. By the way, John McCains favorite President is also Teddy Roosevelt. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is that unusual combination of politician, historian, intellectual, thinker, writer, consultant, and opportunist. He ...

He rails against the "American empire" that "brought the September 11 attacks on us". He condemns Obama for killing Osama. He is indifferent to attempts to prevent Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. He defends Julian Assange and lauds Bradley Manning, the soldier accused of leaking US secrets to WikiLeaks, a "true patriot". And he is barred from addressing a Jewish forum because of his "misguided and extreme views" on Israel. Who is this crazed left-wing radical? If you're not closely following the Republican presidential race, you might think he was Noam Chomsky or Michael Moore. Advertisement: Story continues below In fact, he's Ron Paul: ...

A new acquaintance recently asked whether she and I could get along, considering that shes a liberal while Im libertarian. Her second question focused on Ron Paul, likely the only person she ever heard of associated with libertarian philosophy: Are all libertarians as conservative as Ron Paul on topics like abortion and gays? This is where things can get complicated even when we try to keep them simple. Libertarians are not conservative. Were not liberal, either. Were libertarian. Even saying we are fiscally conservative and socially liberal though theres some accuracy to that can be problematic, because the concepts of conservative ...

Mitt Romneys recent comment about how he would repeal Obamacare if elected president was almost laughable. After all, Romney was the man who brought the same type of mandatory health coverage to Massachusetts when he was that states governor. Government healthcare has been a political issue for generations, and interest accelerated during the Clinton years, when it was called Hillarycare. But Mitt delivered Romneycare. No matter whose name is on the alleged care, its government controlled, and thats a problem for at least two reasons: the practical and the constitutional Lets look at the practical first. Universal healthcare will be anything but ...
Ron Paul ties GOP in knots Post Date: 2012-01-13 15:39:42 by We The People

updated 11:25 AM EST, Fri January 13, 2012Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul greets supporters outside a polling station in Manchester, New Hampshire.(CNN) -- To get a sense of how Ron Paul is tying the GOP establishment in knots, look no further than Sen. Jim DeMint, the powerful Republican from the site of the next major primary, South Carolina. Until November 2010, DeMint had a clear claim on being the most influential, populist-flavored fiscal conservative in the Senate. Then a wave of Tea Party freshmen helped bring a Republican majority to the House of Representative and a new breed of politician to the Senate -- one best exemplified by Kentucky's Rand Paul, whose ...

Last May, Ron Paul filed his financial disclosure form, and the Wall Street Journal enlisted financial analyst William Bernstein to scrutinize his investments. "Paul's portfolio isn't merely different," said an astonished Journal, "it's shockingly different." Twenty-one percent of his $2.4 to $5.5 million was in real estate, 14 percent in cash. He owns no bonds. Only 0.1 percent is invested in stocks, and Paul bought these "short," betting the price will plunge. Every other nickel is sunk into gold and silver mining companies. Bernstein "had never seen such an extreme bet on economic catastrophe," said the Journal. "This ...

Ron Paul has outperformed his previous run for the GOP nomination for president, garnering solid support in Iowa and New Hampshire. Yet for some in the party his rising popularity could spell trouble for the party. As Chris Cillizza reported : In the wake of his second-place showing in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday night, Texas Rep. Ron Paul declared: We are dangerous to the status quo of this country. Hes right. And that could be a very bad thing for a Republican party hoping to take back the White House this November.A look at exit polling from New Hampshire suggests that Paul has a significant and steady following that exists almost entirely apart ...
Ron Paul: How badly does GOP need his voters? [Full Thread] Post Date: 2012-01-11 21:20:09 by We The People

Many in the GOP realize that Ron Paul is not going to fade away once the early primaries are over. If Ron Paul doesn't win the primary battle, they'll need his voters to win in the general election. Ron Paul did pretty well in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday. He placed second, slightly outperforming pre-election polls, and perhaps more importantly he tripled the number of votes he got in the Granite State when he ran for president in 2008. More and more, many in the GOP are realizing that this time around Ron Paul is a significant phenomenon thats not going to fade away once the early primaries are over. Theyre also realizing that its ...
