Title: Get ready to pay dearly for the ‘deal’ (can you believe this was written by an adult?)

First “they came for the socialists. . . .” And they got them . . . and the progressives, and the moderates, and the entire middle and working classes, not to mention the economy itself. They got them all.

While Pastor Martin Niemoller’s famous quote referred to the Nazis, it could just as easily be applied to the tea party extremists who rolled President Obama and Democrats in a “deal” that will have dire consequences for a poor, job-hungry city such as Buffalo.

Obama broke a cardinal rule of presidents: Never negotiate with terrorists. But using the word “negotiate” may be giving this White House too much credit.

Afraid that a small band of tea party radicals would blow up the economy, feckless Democrats who have no idea how to craft a message simply caved instead of getting out front in the debate.

Who’ll pay for their timidity? You will, if you need help with your heating bill, want Western New York’s transportation network maintained, or don’t want education on the chopping block.

Buffalo Niagara gets millions in everything from transit aid to block grants for economic development. All such programs face added jeopardy because the president went back on his vow to demand the balanced approach of cuts and revenues that polls show most Americans want.

It’s one thing not to be able to lead people where they don’t want to go. It’s quite another not to be able to lead them in the direction they’re already pointing.

Instead, this deal—composed entirely ofcuts— will hurt older, poorer cities such as Buffalo and slow economic growth even more while doing nothing to create jobs.

In fact, it will cost jobs. The Economic Policy Institute says the plan’s failure to extend emergency unemployment benefits and the payroll tax holiday—the one tax cut that should have been included— will lower the GDP by a combined 1.2 percent and cost 1.5 million jobs next year.

Try telling the 7.7 percent of Western New Yorkers—and 10.2 percent of Buffalonians— who are looking for work that this makes sense.

And now that they’ve tasted blood— yours, if you’re not wealthy—the extremists will be back for more. With plans to stack the new “supercommittee” with members opposed to raising revenue, it’s possible the right wing will even sacrifice defense by triggering the $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts that result absent any other deal.

In other words, the damage has only begun as we transition to government by minority rule. At a time when the economy needs to be juiced, Washington will be run by those who drank the Kool-Aid.

And where were Chuck “Press Re-lease a Day” Schumer or other Democratic leaders—including the president —who could counter the right-wing nonsense machine and put so much heat on the non-crazy part of the GOP that the debate never would have come to this?

Obama’s somnolent “let your member of Congress know” had some last-minute effect. But imagine how a real leader—say, a progressive equivalent of Ronald Reagan—would have taken control of this debate upfront.

But the outcome shouldn’t surprise. Obama took single-payer off the table before health care talks even began, and this time, he nixed the 14th Amendment option even quicker. If you’re looking to score on a used-car deal, this is the guy you want to negotiate with.

In the meantime, optimists think we’ll now have a grand debate about the role of government as the rest of the deal is hashed out before the 2012 election. But that would require forceful leadership with the stomach for that debate.

Unfortunately for poor cities such as Buffalo, what we have instead are Obama and Harry Reid.

If you've read the Constitution, then you already know that it doesn't state that we are a capitalist nation.

You'd also have to know that the folks who wrote it valued life, liberty and property and wrote it (the US Constitution) in such a way that it shapes and designs our government to protect those things.

Even our laws are designed with capitalism in mind, protection of ownership, your life, your free will, your property, enforcement of contracts, etc.

Newspapers such as this one illustrate the problem we have, and perhaps why it is insurmountable short of absolute economic calamity.

Though its readership is down, it still apparently makes enough money to stay in business. Which means it has SOME readership

One has to assume those readers also vote.

Small business mercantilism was the most popular economic system used during the founding days. The revolution was actually fought against the instituting of large corporate cronyism on the colonies by England.

Other economic systems offer the same protections, but it doesn't matter because our Constitution guarantees them anyway.

Actually the founders were more like mercantilists, which was the economic system in vogue when the country was founded. If you knew your history you would know we fought a Revolutionary War against rugged, unfettered, global capitalistism which had already resulted in a true TEA PARTY revolt.

If that were a student paper writing assignment in a Poli Sci 101 class, it would rate at best a C for structure.

It was an action against the actions of the East India Company and it's unholy alliance with England that really cared more about placating its plantation holdings and resultant trade in it's other, more coveted colony, India, than it did the American colonies.

Of course, its a very common tactic to take offense when challenged to backup your comments. Palin does it too all the time doesn't she?

Meanwhile you've done very little to backup your assertions about Obama and/or capitalism.

But go ahead and keep trying to make this about me and not the fact that you've painted with an overly broad brush.

If I get my friends in the Tea-party to sponsor such legislation, will you get your friends in the House and Senate to allow it to come to a vote.

If it passes, will you ask your friend, President Obama, to sign it?

Wow, really? Next you'll tell me the American stars on Betsy Ross's flag couldn't have replaced hammers or sickles "'cuz the date was too early."

Small business mercantilism was the most popular economic system used during the founding days. The revolution was actually fought against the instituting of large corporate cronyism on the colonies by England.

WHAT "large corporations" were there in 1773?? And I noticed part of your ludicrous analogy didn't mention "heroic Unions". And anyway, here I thought the basis of the American revolution was fought over "taxation without representation."

Through the last 40+ years they certainly have ensured ALL citizens are victims to the trade imbalances while American government created all kinds of tax incentives for off-shore multinationals WHILE importing cheap labour.

It is credible what these people in government have done to America.

However I would consider that position to be economic nationalism NOT capitalism, despite a shallow attempt by some to claim otherwise.

Agree 110%. One of the reasons our economy is cratered is precisely because of ChiCom dumping.

How can we compete against slave-labor?? Strangely enough, US economic advisors, politicians, and our media NEVER saw this coming or forewarned us? We were betrayed by our own.

We needed to start following your suggestion 20 years ago, but it's never too late.

You're absolutely right, Buck...

Our so-called "peoples' representatives" sacrificed and sabotaged American industry, manufacturing, and obviously our national economic sovereignty....for the sake of their lobbying fees, hookers, and golf course perks.

Our own politicians represented FOREIGN INTERESTS over America. This makes them as much a traitor to America as ANY foreign spy or saboteur. As such, they ought to be addressed (even 20-40 years later) as traitors have traditionally been addressed - at the end of rope.

BTW why don't you answer my pertinent question regarding why your candidates have not sponsored legislation to end the wars, since you guys are so gung ho on stopping needless spending.

I would have to guess that it's because of the questions that I've posed which you ignored or disregarded.

I've tried my very best to not engage in name calling or innuendo with you, but when that is ALL that you do, even with your first post to me, it's kind of hard not to return fire.

I have a hard believing a male would use the word petulant, but then all you have to do is stop with the innuendo and present facts. Try it, you might even like it.

Like I said earlier when are you going to answer my question? Maybe you need to show some curiosity and an ability to research since you claim to be representative of the TP mentality. That is if it makes any difference to you if your "movement' lasts to the next election, because all I see in the TP is more empty suits.

Liberator wrote:: It is [in]credible what these people in government have done to America.

Your correction of my statement seems innocent and thanks for the attempt. Here, let me explain my statement (in brief) because it was not clear.

buckeroo wrote: It is credible what these people in government have done to America, [too].

That is how I intended the statement to read. And, thanks for picking up on the apparent confusion. Now, let me amplify my statement; it won't take long to read and is largely historical in nature.

You see, 65+ years ago there were many changes occurring within American society largely because of the aftermath of WW2. Two significant events occurred as a direct result of WW2:

1) the Great Depression was eliminated for the USA, and

2) a true sense of American Patriotism reappeared for all the world to see.

Indeed, America was the sole victor of WW2 with other nations around the world shadowing us by magnitudes of order.

Many of the otherwise leading world's nations were distraught at the same time (certainly ALL that participated in WW2) and required a HUGE re-build effort. America's military/industrial machine during WW2 was somewhat recast to perform that re-build effort which lead directly to increased US private sector jobs; and the fact that America had returning soldiers with continuing women already trained within the workforce.

Of course, coupled with the victory of WW2, FDR signed the omnibus GI Bill (1944) which lead to inproved training and college for returning soldiers and zero down house payments for those wanting to buy a home. Typically most Americans wanting to buy a home were family oriented (often with two incomes) and wanting a family. Of course, a two income family requires two cars. These factors, spurred the national economy even more.

I want to point out, this is the phenomena that drove America to where it is today. WW2 reshaped the modern family unit from its agrarian roots into the industrial dependents we see today. It often goes unseen to many because most fine folks are too busy looking at the symptoms of problems as opposed to the root cause of failure and thus are lead on a false path for a method of solution, ie: voting for a Democrat or a Republican. The American political party system is incapable of repairing the destruction of the family unit in America. All one needs to see is the rise of divorce rates in America from the 1940's to today: 14% to about 55% per family unit.

The fracture of the American family unit has destroyed America; it was lead by the exhilaration of new found wealth and income and an incredible trust of American government leading contemporary social directive dynamics. Along with the gradual decay of the American family unit came even more gradual decay of American society and moral/ethical values has occured leading to contemporary political gridlock. As time continues, even more social progression shall occur as result, too, as the demise for and about the American family unit continues to occur.

Simultaneously, of course, as a trust worthy American government (as a world power) stood tall and fast with tenacious resolve as a result of WW2. One of the areas that many folks don't consider is the fundamental reason for American military being everywhere around the world. And it started with the National Security Act of 1947 signed into law by Harry Truman; when he left office, he said it was the worst mistake of his tenure as president. He created the CIA as well as centralized the Department of Defense. Tremendous authority and power was granted to these rogue groups BEGGING for US involvement and military action; they lead American government's response toward world issues; not a president or even Congress.

As a result of the National Security Act, America almost immediately became involved with South Korea. And ever since, America has been eternally at war draining America's tax base for nothing in return. The last war America had a formal declaration of war was based on WW2; ever since, Congress rubber-stamps the CIA/DoD requests upto and even including this "0bama" Libya interference issue.

So, back to my earlier statement to wrap up my remarcks:

buckeroo wrote: It is credible what these people in government have done to America, [too].

We have a decaying American society that largely believes in government which has an overreach of military power around the world. We are still riding on the "shirt-tails" of military victory from the vestiages of WW2.

As methods of solution: there are none with the singular exception of total collapse and a possible rebuild from the ground up.

The American political party system can't repair the social decay of American families and simultaneously it can't remove American troops from around the world or the influences that the CIA has.

There is no repair of the two dynamics driving America today: war everywhere and social decay. It took some 60+ years to get where we are as of today and the only remedy is complete destruction of what we know American government is and about.

Again, there is only one remedy: total collapse and a possible rebuild from the ground up.

Thanks for your extension overview and explanation of our post-WWII dynamics.

As a result of the National Security Act, America almost immediately became involved with South Korea. And ever since, America has been eternally at war draining America's tax base for nothing in return. The last war America had a formal declaration of war was based on WW2; ever since, Congress rubber-stamps the CIA/DoD requests upto and even including this "0bama" Libya interference issue.

You nailed it.

Ike saw it coming, and so did probably JFK (until his opinion was made redundant.)

As methods of solution: there are none with the singular exception of total collapse and a possible rebuild from the ground up.

Pragmatically speaking, your solution seems to be the only answer to anything that is so totally FUBAR as we obviously are. However, this just won't work in our case. Thus one solution is the dissolution of this nation (as we knew it) in stages and the genesis of newly created state sovereignties through individual legislatures. Of course CWII is a possibility.

Because of the Leftist fetish for "multiculturalism" at the expense of American nationalism and sovereignty, we are NOT anywhere near E pluribus unum. We are now Unum E Pluribus - Algore (that moron) had one thing right.

Let's just end the charade and have like-minded majorities create the Founders' model on provincial scales. Let the Commies and socialist drown in their own blood.

Because you can't imagine the scenario doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

The historical characteristics for a rising American economy don't exist anymore with the caveat that someone in the private sector could lead a new technological direction spurring economic activity; since it isn't apparent anywhere, those hopes are a bit optimistic, akin to winning the Lotto.

And relying on government intervention is no answer at all. In fact, it never was other than WW2 creating some of the foundations of American wealth in the twentieth century. Today, American government has permitted multinational conglomerates to camp just about everywhere but in the USA. They aren't coming back either.

The Capitalist system you so admire thrives on wars and requires an absolute increase in the numbers of consumers in order to exist, so destroying this system to only implement a similiar one will only create the circumstances you say you hate in a few years.

Of course, Bell Labs (AT&T) was awarded US federal grants to design the "transistor." A lot has happened in technology as a result. But what were the reasons? Can you answer that question?

Another example is US space travel through the government funded research into private industries (NASA acted as the arm for US grants of scientific research and later technological revolution); but what were the reasons? Can you answer that question?

Most of that "integration" was during the GREAT WAR period, circa 1850s and 1860s. It really wasn't a "spark" of the Irish to immigrate to the US but because of the Potatoe Famine, largely caused by the British. And even then the Irish men and some children were quickly snapped upped into the Union's Army for landing in America to serve under America's first GOP President Abe Lincoln the GREAT KILLER.

NOT relevant to "American culture"; Moreiver, there was no such thing as "multiculturalism" as you stated was "always" a "historical" fact.

Aaaah, now you tell me you hate Rock and Roll.

Slavery" isn't a "European-Christian underpinning" of American culture, nor has it EVER been. It was a temporary condition of economic nature forged by African and European profiteers.

Actually slavery was considered a normal occurrence in the Old and New Testaments. And plantation and other business owners in the USA pre 1860 who owned slaves were most often of European 'underpinning' and Christian.

At Robin's Nest, there seemed to be a sense of "euphoria" when Norway's PM indicated that "more democracy" leads to "more freedom." I say that concept is diametrically opposing to the truth. "More democracy" leads to a police state or less freedom. And in the face of Norway's worst social disaster since WW2, they shall create further restraints upon individual freedoms, rights and liberties.

The slavery practiced in Biblical days was far different that practiced at the start of this nation.

The Bible forbid capturing people and enslaving them.

Slave owners in the US didn't capture and enslave them, they left the dirty work up to others. They bought them just like the Hebrews did.

On that same thread was my retort to Robin:

And then Robin's careful reply:

Considering the usual "war on terror", UnPatriot Act, knee-jerk reaction, I think he's very clever to get out in front of demands for protection that remove all liberty and freedom. IOW, the path America took, Norwegians are rejecting.

And the PM's other statement, makes it clear, that he's not backing-down on Norway's multiculturalism either.

"The answer to violence, is even more democracy. Even more humanity". "It's important to bear in mind that not all young white men are potential terrorists" -- Jens Stoltenberg, Norwegian Prime Minister"

Yeah, and look at the downfall of Marxism in countries such as the USSR and China as both are now capitalistic in nature because of their own reserved characteristics.

Your idea seems to diminish America as the world's greatest nation today even though we are on a downward curve and certainly understood by all because of the absence of US involvement in banking operations/processes/procedures that was actually spurred on by US authorities via CRA requirements. Of course, US border issues and illegal immigration which CAUSED 9/11 is the entire effort of the US government NOT doing its job, too.

YOU: "Actually slavery was considered a normal occurrence in the Old and New Testaments. And plantation and other business owners in the USA pre 1860 who owned slaves were most often of European 'underpinning' and Christian."

Please keep this debate in context and tuck your red herrings back into your multicultural Leftist/anti-Christian handbook.

AS I stated, slavery in America was a temporary condition of economic nature forged by African and European profiteers. Whom do you think hunted down West Africans like animals, caged them, then sold them to Europeans for profit?? Other Africans. But NEVER are they ever blamed for their part in slavery, nor have YOU. At least the Americans and Europeans worked to ban slavery relatively quickly - I'll attribute THAT correction to "Christian underpinnings."

Btw, what is your opinion on the African slavery that STILL operates with impunity today?? I hear that they are NOT Christian nor European.

I concur 100% with your assessment. A "Democracy" in action means a majority of the lowest denominator vote to micro-manage everyone's else's lives and steal everyone's else's stuff via a militant police state.

YOU might characterize them as, "hard-working Democrats."

Which made the unlikely re-election of Reid even more puzzling.

IOW..you can't name one Republican who has ever caucused with the Democrats in the US Senate.

Angle STILL should have beaten Reid-the-Mortician like a rented mule.

You can believe what you want, but again, the collusion of Unions with the Dem Machine and RNC-RINO sandbagging was more than enough to bury Angle or any conservative Pubbie thrown at Reid.

You can believe what you want, but again, the collusion of Unions with the Dem Machine and RNC-RINO sandbagging was more than enough to bury Angle or any conservative Pubbie thrown at Reid.

Nevadans to Reid: Stop! Thief!

By Wes Vernon

Democrats in Nevada have been accused of using strong-arm tactics best symbolized in recent years by the likes of ACORN and SEIU, so as to steal the election for Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid.

Here Citizen, let me "help you" vote

The "funny business" started when voters in Boulder City (near Las Vegas) showed up to cast their (early voting) ballot for Reid's Republican opponent, Sharron Angle.

Within five minutes, they reported that Senator Reid's name had already been checked.

Joyce Ferrara, one of the Angle voters, dismissed claims by Clark County Registrar Larry Lomax that there is no voter fraud and that "elderly citizens" may find the touch screens "very sensitive." (Translation: "You stupid old people.")

"Something is not right," Ferrara insisted. "One person, that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five-minute period of time, that's wrong."

Outright illegality

Cleta Mitchell — candidate Sharron Angle's attorney — charges that "Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright." On behalf of the campaign, Mitchell has demanded investigations into such tactics by Reid supporters as offering free food and Starbucks gift cards for a vote in support of the senator.

Ms. Mitchell alleges that Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller — a Democrat — "slammed the door shut on this behavior and issued a public statement permitting these ACORN-style tactics."

A few hours later, however, Miller announced that he was launching a probe into Republican allegations of early voting irregularities not only in Clark County, but in Washoe County (Reno) as well.

The Angle campaign's supporters — most of them small donors (in contrast to Reid's fat lobbyist/special interest war-chest) — are coughing up the funding required to "deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics."

Secretary of state

Traditionally, the office of Secretary of State on the state level has been a rather nondescript, non-controversial office. Not anymore. These are, after all, the people who count the votes.

The Left (mainly ACORN) has worked to get "its own people" to seek that office, figuring that when it comes time to steal elections, their tactics can get an official stamp of approval — deserved or not. Nevada's Miller, however, cites his own legal battles with ACORN months ago.

Cleta Mitchell — one of the best election law barristers in the country — cites Nevada Law (NRS 293.700) which provides that "A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or uses any other corrupt means directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony, and shall be punished as provided in NRS.193.130."

Miller says so far there is "no evidence" of the chicanery. So what does that say to the honest Nevada voter? If you suspect your vote may be being canceled out by an ACORN goon, better show up at the voting booth with a camera, a lawyer, and a notary public?

Just to compound the suspicion

1 — Clark County, home of 75 percent of Nevada voters, is where Harry Reid's son Rory — a gubernatorial candidate — is also a county commissioner.

2 — The voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the SEIU.

3 — In Nevada alone, the SEIU has given $500,000 to the Harry Reid campaign against Sharron Angle — perfectly legal but relevant to the above-cited circumstances.

Washington Examiner columnist Mark Hemingway writes that while there is "no verifiable evidence of chicanery with the voting machines (yet)," all this raises the question: Should SEIU members be responsible for tabulating votes? Is there "an appearance" of conflict of interest?

(Hmmmm. SEIU icon Andy Stern is reportedly the most frequent visitor to the White House? Hello. Fawncy meeting you here!)
