I have given up on LP altogether. I take a peek at the channel sometimes, though. There are some brilliant comments, too. Check this one out: #14. To: redleghunter (#2) Why have so many in the military donated to Paul? Because we took an oath to defend the constitution. Any who have honor and follow their oath, have no other choice. To *not* support Ron Paul is treason. VikingisaVerb posted on 2011-08-17 17:11:31 ET Great comment and it needs repeating.

"One of the challenges in terms of rebuilding our economy is – businesses have gotten so efficient, that, uh, when was the last time somebody went to a bank teller? Instead of using an ATM. Or, used a travel agent instead of going online. A lot of jobs out that that used to require people now have become automated." Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Tonight, Donald Trump takes to Twitter! He slams the president. DONALD TRUMP goes "On the Record" right now. DONALD TRUMP, TRUMP ORGANIZATION: Thank you. VAN SUSTEREN: I wanted to talk to you about the recent news about Pakistan and China. But first I want to ask you about your tweet. I can't resist. A recent tweet from you, on your Twitter account, says, Barack Obama played golf yesterday, now he heads to a 10-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, nice work ethic. TRUMP: Well, the fact is, he takes more vacations than any human being I've ever seen. They used to complain about George Bush, but I understand he's already exceeded ...
As America's Economy Collapses, "New Normal" Police State Takes Shape

Forget your rights. As corporate overlords position themselves to seize what little remains of a tattered social net (adieu Medicare and Medicaid! Social Security? Au revoir!), the Obama administration is moving at break-neck speed to expand police state programs first stood-up by the Bush government. After all, with world share prices gyrating wildly, employment and wages in a death spiral, and retirement funds and publicly-owned assets swallowed whole by speculators and rentier scum, the state better dust-off contingency plans lest the Greek, Spanish or British "contagion" spread beyond the fabled shores of "old Europe" and infect God-fearin' folk here in the ...

According to a whole host of polls and surveys, the American people are incredibly angry right now. The American people are hopping mad at the government, the American people are hopping mad about the economy and the American people are hopping mad about the direction that this country is headed. Never before in modern U.S. history have the American people been this angry. There is vast disagreement about what the solutions to our problems actually are, but what everyone can agree on is that the American people are absolutely seething with anger right now. The statistics that you are about to read are mind blowing. We used to be such a happy country. Once upon a time we were one of the ...
Taxed Into Oblivion

In the United States today, we are being taxed into oblivion, yet it is being done so stealthily that most Americans don't even realize what is happening. Most people are fixated on federal income tax rates, but the federal income tax is only one of the dozens of different taxes that each of us pay each year. The politicians have learned that people get really upset when income tax rates are raised, so they have found hundreds of other ways to raise taxes on us. What most taxpayers in the United States today are facing is "death by a thousand cuts". When you add up all forms of taxation from all levels of government, approximately 40 percent of all the income in the country is ...

Sparks flew Tuesday during the Congressional Black Caucus "For the People Jobs Tour" town hall in Detroit, MI, as black caucus members told the mostly black audience to "unleash" them to confront President Barack Obama on the issue of jobs. During the sometimes heated town hall, peoples' frustration over their economic conditions overwhelmed decorum and order.

Another White Teenager charged in plot to blow up high school (Who let these people into the country?) TAMPA, Fla. -- A 17-year-old boy was arrested today on charges he plotted to set off explosives at Freedom High School, which expelled him last year. Jared Michael Cano was charged with threatening to throw, project, place or discharge a destructive device. Cano also faced charges of possession of bomb-making materials, cultivation of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. Police said they found a diary with minute-by-minute plans to carry out the plot, including a reference that he wanted to exceed the casualty count of the 1999 massacre at Colum
Texas and the government are chummier than you'd think: Though Texas has lost its fair share of jobs in the private sector, it's added a huge number of government jobs

Texas and the government are chummier than you'd think Though Texas has lost its fair share of jobs in the private sector, it's added a huge number of government jobs his chart shows the net number of private and public sector jobs lost and gained in Texas from 2007 to 2010. Despite the anti-government rhetoric from Texas Governor Rick Perry, a 2012 presidential candidate, the state has very much benefited from government jobs.

Obama’s Approval Ratings Still High Among His Children (Everyone thinks you’re an asshole, dad. But we love you)

Following what could arguably be the worst week of his presidency, Barack Obama’s job approval rating dipped below 40 percent for the first time, according to the latest Gallup tracking numbers Tuesday. However, the same poll also found a silver lining in Obama’s ratings, citing that the President is still receiving extraordinarily high approval numbers from his closest constituents: his children. The results found that at least two out of every two children of Obama found the President’s performance in office acceptable, if not “totally awesome,” leaving them in the minority of current public opinion. The President’s approval rating among his spawn remains in ...
Yes, Rush, I hope Obama fails, too

Ever since President Obama (PBUH) dropped Rush Limbaugh's name recently, the talk-show host has figured prominently in the news. And now he is being attacked by the mainstream press — and truly odious entities such as MoveOn.borg — for saying that he wants Obama (PBUH) to fail. It is being portrayed as an un-American sentiment by those great patriots on the left. I actually agree with Limbaugh wholeheartedly. I also want Obama (PBUH) to fail — abjectly, miserably, completely — and visibly. I may even pray for it. Anyone on the left who takes issue with this is either ignorant or a liar — and probably a hypocrite as well. I will explain. To say it's always ...

That poll showing Barack Obama underwater in New York may not have been an outlier after all. Quinnipiac finds Obama’s approval plunging neighboring — and nearly-as-blue — New Jersey. While Chris Christie’s numbers have rebounded a little, Obama’s have slid to a new low: President Barack Obama is headed in the wrong direction as New Jersey voters disapprove 52 – 44 percent of the job he is doing, down from a 50 – 46 percent positive score June 21 and the president’s lowest score ever in the Garden State. Again, the gender gap is huge as men disapprove 60 – 37 percent while women approve 51 – 44 percent. Turning thumbs down on Obama are ...
Perry Backed and Signed Law That Inhibits Veterans Voting Rights

As Governor Rick Perry tours Iowa, talking a lot about his own military history, a veteran in Texas wants people to know that Perry's rhetoric doesn't meet his record. Specifically, Perry backed and signed a new voter ID law in the state that would prohibit veterans from using their ID card from the Department of Veterans Affairs to vote, even though it is a government-issued photo ID. "Given that Governor Perry is talking up his veteran status in Iowa, and taking constant hits at our Commander in Chief, one would think he has a pretty good record when it comes to those who served," said Allen Vaught, an Iraq War Veteran, who was awarded a Purple Heart.

The attack on Michele Bachmann by the mainstream media was obvious to anyone who saw the unflattering Newsweek Magazine cover. Now, thanks to a delicious fast-food staple served at State Fairs all across America, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry have found themselves being ridiculed in photos published all over the globe. From the liberal Daily Kos to the largest selling newspaper in London — The Telegraph — and even a Texas publication called The Dallas Voice, the conservative candidates are being mocked. In fact, some have even called Perry’s sexual preference called into question. It all seemed to start with the Telegraph’s photo of Congresswoman and top-tier GOP ...

Drinks On the House? Ohio Statehouse Considers Bar (AP) COLUMBUS, Ohio — Officials in Ohio are weighing whether to open a bar in the basement of the Statehouse. Opponents say there's no place for such a venue in a government building crawling with children on field trips. Others note that alcohol already flows freely at the Statehouse during special events. The caterer who conceived the idea says it has been misrepresented as bigger and flashier than he intended. Louie Pappas says he was "just trying to think outside the box and create a little more revenue for that space." The panel that oversees Statehouse operations has slowed the project's pace while a study ...
Buffett higher tax call strikes a nerve

The 80-year-old "Oracle of Omaha," one of the world's three richest men, has taken to the pages of the New York Times to call for higher taxes -- yes, higher taxes -- for himself and his well-off peers. "My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice," he said. Buffett calling for a higher tax burden for the wealthy is nothing new; last November, in a lengthy sit-down interview with ABC News, he insisted that the wealthy "have it better than we've ever had it" and that they had an obligation to pay substantially more tax. However, the timing of ...
Rick Perry to Ben Bernanke: treasonous to print more money

WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - The White House denounced Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on Tuesday for his threatening remarks toward the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve that represented some of the most inflammatory rhetoric of the 2012 election campaign. Campaigning in Iowa on Monday, the Texas governor said he would consider it "treasonous" if Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke "prints more money between now and the election" in November 2012 -- a fresh sign of the political heat the central bank faces as it tries to right the stumbling U.S. economy. "If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don't know what y'all will do to ...

President Barack Obama said yesterday in Decorah, Iowa, that he absorbs more political criticism than Abraham Lincoln, the assassinated 16th U.S. president, attracted from his Civil War critics. The comment came during a question-and-answer session where one invited audience member asked Obama how he deals with his congressional critics in the GOP. “The Congress doesn’t seem to be a good partner. You said so yourself, they’re more interested in seeing you lose than [seeing] the country win,” the questioner lamented. “Democracy is always a messy business in a big country like this,” Obama responded. “When you listen to what the federalists said about the ...
GOP front-runner Perry's four economic vulnerabilities

The latest GOP presidential contender has started running with the wind at his back. Unlike most other candidates — including President Obama — Texas Gov. Rick Perry can claim a measure of economic success over the last several years. Texas has bucked some dispiriting national trends, with an unemployment rate that's lower than the national average and an economy that has held up relatively well during the devastating downturn. Perry's mission is to convince voters that if elected, he can replicate the "Texas Miracle" on a national scale. ---SNIP --- Click for Full Text!

Karl Rove Piles On Rick Perry: Bernanke Line ‘Not A Presidential Statement’

It's no secret that Team George W. Bush and Team Rick Perry are not exactly close. And with Perry flailing after he accused Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke of "almost treasonous" behavior, one of Team W's biggest names is taking the opportunity to twist the knife. "You don't accuse the chairman of the federal reserve of being a traitor to his country. Of being guilty of treason," Karl Rove told Fox News Tuesday. "And, suggesting that we treat him pretty ugly in texas. You know, that is not, again a presidential statement." Click for Full Text!

Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan is strongly considering a run for president. Ryan, who has been quietly meeting with political strategists to discuss a bid over the past three months, is on vacation in Colorado discussing a prospective run with his family. Ryan’s concerns about the effects of a presidential campaign – and perhaps a presidency – on his family have been his primary focus as he thinks through his political future. “He’s coming around,” says a Republican source close to Ryan, who has been urging the 41-year-old to run.

Obama clashes with Tea Party member

President Obama came face-to-face with the Tea Party last night in Iowa, clashing with a member during and after a town hall last night. Ryan Rhodes, a group leader in the Hawkeye State, stood up and shouted a question during a town hall, asking the president how he can call for more civility when "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist.'" Obama, who had not called on the man, said the town hall wouldn't work "if you just stand up when I asked everybody to raise their hand. ... I didn't see you. I wasn't avoiding you. ... Please." After calling another person, Obama circled back to address Rhodes' ...
#Palin: This is disappointing, if true

Anyone who knows me or who has read my posts for any length of time knows I’m a fan of Sarah Palin. A big fan. I like her politics, I like her outlook, I like her record, and I think she has the makings of a good president. Which makes this news both disturbing and disappointing: What happened was that Alex Pappas of The Daily Caller, one of the rising stars among political scribes and a meticulously careful and wonderfully polite, fair-minded young man (an aside: I’ve known him since he was in junior high school), wrote a perfectly fine story about Palin’s current stances vis-a-vis the presidential race. In it, one of the things she said was that if Mitt Romney is the ...
