Republicans Are Playing the Tea Party for Saps

Here is a question I have for Republican candidates, Independent voters, and the elderly: Should the Medicare prescription drug benefit be repealed? There is no need to ask the question of Democrats--they like the benefit, and improved it this year by closing the infamous "donut hole" when they passed healthcare reform. But Republicans must be planning to repeal the biggest federal expansion of Medicare. Nothing could be more socialistic, right? It added gazillions to the deficit and our long-term debt. President Bush may have wisely recognized that modern medicine is changing, and that more and more of us make it into our golden years by virtue of expensive pills and salves, ...

Much hoorah, there is, over the mosque that may or may not be built in New York. I don’t give a tinker’s damn (whatever precisely that may be; I presume that tinkers’ oaths were thought more efficacious than others) whether they build it or not. The matter does however put to rest for me any hope of rationality in human affairs. This, I grant, could be accomplished with a very small bed. At this writing, the government’s war for oil and AIPAC has more or less solidly metamorphosed, among the rubes at least, into a war against Islam. Men of thunder and portent peddle the notion like starving encyclopedia salesmen. No less a political howitzer than Pat Buchanan says that ...
Nine Years After 9/11, Let's Stop Fulfilling Bin Laden's Goals

The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, succeeded far beyond anything Osama bin Laden could possibly have envisioned. This is not just because they resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths, nor only because they struck at the heart of American financial and military power. Those outcomes were only the bait; it would remain for the United States to spring the trap. This StoryNine years after 9/11, it's time to stop helping bin LadenA war more costly than we thoughtWhere were you on 9/11?: Where were you on 9/11? The goal of any organized terrorist attack is to goad a vastly more powerful enemy into an excessive response. And over the past nine years, the United States has blundered into the 9/11 ...

Newt Gingrich has just sent out an e-mail to his supporters entitled "America at Risk, A War with No Name," which argues for the development of a "long overdue serious strategy in fighting terrorism and the ideology behind it." "Radical Islamists are people who want to impose Sharia (or Islamic) Law on the entire world... Radical Islamists view their struggle as a religiously inspired and approved jihad." The Obama administration, he continues, has renamed the Global War on Terrorism, (all with initial caps) the "Overseas Contingency Operation." The Administration, he asserts, is blind to the danger abroad. Despite eight disastrous years of the ...

I like Science Fiction, Fantasy and end of the world movies. I wonder who out there likes them too. Here are a few that I like in no particular order. Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, THX1138, Logans Run, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, Demolition Man, Conan, Krull, Sword and the Sorcerer, Excalibur, 1984, Six String Samurai, Minority Report. There are a few off the top of my head. I'm looking for good movies. Any recommendations?

It's hard to imagine stranger times than these, though stranger times surely lie ahead. It seems that before we had much of a chance to perfect it our civilization entered its inevitable period of decline. That it happened just when it did of course was not inevitable at all IMHO. No, I believe it could have all been very different. I won't elaborate on that theme, I've beaten it like a drum for years. I'll just refer the curious to this previous diary, The Dirty F@#*ing Hippies Were Right!

Glenn Beck May Be a Clown -- But the Shady Right-Wingers Who Pull His Strings Are Dangerous

Glenn Beck is a charlatan. A clown. A buffoon. He belongs on a second tier stage in Vegas, and he very well may end up there, some day. He is not dangerous, but his ability to exploit the legitimately angry dispossessed reveals something that is dangerous. Decades of right wing economic policies have undermined unions, the middle class, the social safety net, and the sense that we are all in this together, moving into a better future. Few believe their children or grandchildren will inherit a better world. People are afraid, and they don't understand why they are afraid. And while Glenn Greenwald is correct that by not seizing the mantle of populism, the Democrats have created a void ...

Nine years after 9/11, can anyone doubt that Al Qaeda is simply not that deadly a threat? Since that gruesome day in 2001, once governments everywhere began serious countermeasures, Osama bin Laden’s terror network has been unable to launch a single major attack on high-value targets in the United States and Europe. While it has inspired a few much smaller attacks by local jihadis, it has been unable to execute a single one itself. Today, Al Qaeda’s best hope is to find a troubled young man who has been radicalized over the Internet, and teach him to stuff his underwear with explosives. I do not minimize Al Qaeda’s intentions, which are barbaric. I question its capabilities. ...

Dear President Obama, My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country. One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes. I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die ...

WASHINGTON — You have to wonder exactly what you're supposed to say in a week like this one, as President Barack Obama officially declared the end to the U.S. war in Iraq and most Americans breathed a tempered sigh of relief. You have to say Obama did a good job with the speech — dignified, fair, balanced — rightly praising the American troops for their courage and resolve, going out of his way to mention President George W. Bush favorably, and deliberately placing the onus of responsibility on the next war, Afghanistan. An American like me who was against the war from the start for all the obvious reasons — no reason to attack Iraq for al-Qaida's attack on us; ...
God’s Tea Party

Glenn Beck is better than most nationally syndicated talk hosts. While right-wing radio mainstays Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity offer little more than Republican talking points, Beck regularly eschews such hackery, instead warning of the “progressivism” that exists in both parties or even the perils of blind partisanship. It’s hard even to fathom Limbaugh or Hannity saying what Beck did at CPAC this year, “I have not heard the people in the Republican Party yet admit they have a problem… I don’t know what they stand for anymore.” But after last weekend, I’m not quite sure what Beck thinks the Tea Party should stand for anymore either. Beck called ...

Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- We were warned there would be no ticker-tape parade, no soldiers kissing nurses in Times Square, no spoils of war. What we got was a president so somber and worn, it looked as if he needed a good rest, even though he just got back from one. No amount of rest could have made it more palatable to announce the end of what began as shock and awe, but then turned shockingly awful. More than 4,400 American lives lost in Iraq so far, more than $700 billion spent, and what do we have to show for it? Yes, Saddam Hussein and his murderous sons are gone, Iraqis have held up fingers stained purple to indicate they’ve voted, and there’s a hospital here, a school ...
Anti-Thiefism Not Anti-Semitism

Prior to Zionism, Jews have lived with Arabs and Muslims and it was not easy to tell who is a Jew and who is a Muslim :::::::: Judaism : Great Religion Kidnapped by Zionism. At the outset it has to be made clear that Zionism is not Judaism. Judaism is a sacred religion meant to purify the sole of hate, greed and evil. Zionism is a political movement meant to conquer the world politically and economically using Judaism and the plight of the Jews to achieve these objectives. It creates a sad feeling that a respectable institution such as YaleUniversity fell in such trap when it held a conference on Anti-Semitism blaming Muslims for the rapid growth of this phenomenon as if Israel's and ...

Former American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) staffer M.J. Rosenberg told the Israel lobby to “pull the plug” on activities fanning the “anti-Muslim explosion that has seized this country over the past month.” The former insider charges organizations such as AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, and assorted neocon outfits with having “set the stage” for hysteria by demonizing Muslims in the name of “advancing their Middle East Agenda.” This strategy has been decades in the making. Many in the mainstream media play roles assigned by the lobby long ago. Glenn Beck consulted ...
LEFT WING KOOK SAYS:: Glenn Beck Cult Holds Creepy Revival at Lincoln Memorial in DC [Full Thread]

People gathered Saturday in DC at the Lincoln Memorial as part of an event that Glenn Beck was hosting. The rally was a hybrid neocon pep rally/religious revival, consisting of pictures on a giant TV screen of famous moments from American history, along with inspirational music, waving flags, and talk of destiny and God from a loudmouth Fox News preacher who hides the insincerity in his eyes behind a thick layer of glasses while weeping in breathy sobs to mask his laughter.
A speaker at the event even said "Glenn Beck is one of America's most trusted and honored citizens."
With Beck being inserted into the mainstream consciousness as the "patriot" opposition to Barack Obama and his ...

Michael Enright, a 21-year-old college student, slashed a NYC cab driver in the face and neck because this man was Muslim. Enright is being held in a psychiatric ward. If he is mad, then the United States is also insane. Enright's assault merely mirrors what we, as a nation, have done for nearly a decade. The United States has responded criminally and incoherently to what happened on September 11, 2001. Lopped of our twin members, downtown, we also lost our authoritative voice. Two days after that disaster, George Bush grimly declared, "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." Six months ...
Glenn Beck's Hypocritical Revival

The talk sensation looked more like a televangelist at his “Restoring Honor” rally this weekend, but his preaching about unity only proved that his biggest adversary is himself. The Rev. Glenn Beck staged a religious revival on the National Mall in Washington yesterday. His “Restoring Honor” rally sidestepped politics, instead offering a tribute to the troops and calls for a new Great Awakening, proclaiming “We’ve got to go to God Bootcamp,” to the applause of hundreds of thousand of followers. But the most striking thing about Beck’s heartfelt evangelism was its hypocrisy. “We’re dividing ourselves,” Beck lamented. “There is ...

ANOTHER weekend, another grass-roots demonstration starring Real Americans who are mad as hell and want to take back their country from you-know-who. Last Sunday the site was Lower Manhattan, where they jeered the “ground zero mosque.” This weekend, the scene shifted to Washington, where the avatars of oppressed white Tea Party America, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, were slated to “reclaim the civil rights movement” (Beck’s words) on the same spot where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream exactly 47 years earlier. Vive la révolution! There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless ...

At a recent gathering of the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States, thousands join in Jewish/Israeli dancing and singing, cheerily wave Israeli flags, speak a fair amount of Hebrew, and express a great love for all Jews. They also praise Jesus, baptize their children, and cite the New Testament, because they're evangelical Christians.The potential impact of Christian Zionism in the coming years is hard to overstate. Christians United for Israel claims more than 400,000 members—and as the Jewish Telegraph Agency noted, that's just "the largest organization representing what are believed to be tens of millions conservative evangelical Christians who support ...
Why Are Palin, Gingrich, and Fox News Doing Bin Laden's Work?

I have been told by Fox commentators Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich that to be a good American I should detest Muslims. After all, it was Muslims from Saudi Arabia who steered the airplanes into the Pentagon and the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. And now they want to build a mosque at ground zero! But by their own logic, shouldn't I detest Palin and Gingrich? After all, they work for Muslims. It's true. A Saudi royal prince is, after Rupert Murdoch and his family, the second largest investor in NewsCorp., the company that runs Fox News, employs Palin and Gingrich and Glenn Beck and which recently gave a million dollar donation to the Republican Party. That's right: the same ...

Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Thirty-six years ago, the director of the liberal Republican House caucus urged me to see a promising young congressional candidate from Georgia; reluctantly, I did. That was Newt Gingrich. He didn’t disappoint. Bright, energetic, effusive, he spent a couple of hours extolling the need to transform his party, embracing the anti-Richard Nixon progressive Republican governor of Virginia, Linwood Holton, as a role model and civil rights as a central cause. It took him two more elections to finally prevail. It wasn’t much longer before Holton and civil rights were in his rear-view mirror. This flashed back as the remarkably durable Gingrich leads the protests ...

The headline does not comprise the framework for peace reported by the national AP and CNN in describing the Israeli stance for successful ’direct talks for peace’ with Palestinian negotiators, but it should … - Instead, we are treated to this: Mr. Netanyahu said a future Palestinian state would have to be demilitarised, recognise Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people and respect Israel’s vital security interests. Some of his demands have already been rejected by the Palestinians. No one—outside of true American believers like Sarah Palin and John McCain, for example—seriously believes that these conditions voiced ...
