The Delousing of a Movement By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. on 2.9.12 @ 6:08AM This health hazard and social menace is what the Left regards as America's next great political cause? WASHINGTON -- As the tents were coming down at McPherson Square, the dead rats and mice being retrieved, the urine and feces and filthy bedding disposed of by District of Columbia employees dressed in hazardous-materials suits like their contemporaries at Fukushima, I thought of the left-wing press. You see, I read the left-wing press. Not the urban throwaway rags, but I read the Nation, the Progressive, the American Prospect, and more -- I read them all. They have been raving for months about the exciting prospect of a great wave of reform coming out of the Occupiers' Movement. It was here to stay, and for a while silly old me took them seriously. Not the "Masturbate for Peace" movement, which made its rude appearance in Madison, Wisconsin, nor the "Urinate and Defecate Against World Hunger" crowd, who occasionally made headlines in Manhattan. Rather, I mean the-out-of-work Ph.D.s in Romance Languages or the mild mannered, middle-class schoolteachers, who the left-wing press kept coming across midst the delusional rabble. The left-wing journalists interviewed them. To read their reports one would think that this Occupy Movement really was sweeping America, rather than on its last legs and being shut down. Their end was coming for very good reasons, I might add. The Occupy Movement was a health hazard, occasionally a serious crime scene -- rape, robbery, and mayhem -- and in most places throughout the country it was in contravention of simple laws against vagrancy. Illustrious names from journalism's past -- even the New York Review of Books -- were showing themselves to be utterly out of touch with the way things are in America today with budgets so out of balance and economic growth so slight. Even President Barack Obama and other eminentoes from the Democratic Party sided with the Occupiers long after the Occupiers had discredited themselves. Now for the most part the Occupiers are no more. Yet the left-wing press raves on, and I suppose the mainstream media is complicit. This movement was more degenerate than they reported. In the Progressive someone by the name of Naomi Klein attests, "I've never seen anything like this in my life. Every day, new occupations [sic] are growing, not just in this country. People are so excited to have a new tent in which to meet, and the possibility of it expanding limitlessly. Political courage is contagious." So, apparently, is hysteria. Some of it was very funny? Did former Senator George McGovern make an appearance at Zuccotti Park? The New York Review of Books reports, "A bedraggled man who had arrived that day from Hawaii announced his candidacy for president and asked for the movement's blessing." I did not know George was in Hawaii. Yet some of it demonstrated just how dismissive of the truth the American left really is. There was this from the Nation in January, "The Occupation encampments that enlivened approximately 1,400 cities this fall provided a vivid template for the 99 percent's growing sense of unity. Here were thousands of people -- we may never know the exact numbers -- from all walks of life, living outdoors in the streets and parks…. The 99 percent, which might have seemed to be a purely aspirational category just a few month ago, began to will itself into existence." Ninety-nine percent? Does that include me? Does it include the 40 percent of the country that usually polls conservative, and the almost equally large percentage that polls independent? Who is deluding whom, and remember the entire left-wing press bought into this garbagespiel, most probably along with much of the major media. I have been saying for some time that Liberalism is dead. I shall even be coming out with a book on the subject in a couple of months. That the hitherto respectable magazines of the left would push such nonsense is to be included in my diagnosis. There was a day when the Liberals would argue according to some standards of objectivity. They would not push a line that was absolute flapdoodle. Yet Liberalism is dead. The Occupation hysteria adopted by every single journal on the left is but another proof of it. Those who read the left-wing press ought to demand their money back. They could have been killed at McPherson Square or Zuccotti Park, or at least have been robbed or raped.

Romney (Santorum even worse): "I'm not concerned about poor people." Millions and millions of Americans will die in the not too distant future thanks to wild spending on wars. We can forgive our trillions in debts but this won’t make life nicer, it will make it PURE HELL. Capital will vanish. Valuable things will be physically removed and the country stripped of anything portable. Our navy will be as small as Britain’s. Note that the elites there are making lots of noise about the Falkland Islands this week! Talk about insanity.

So what if he said that. He said poor people have a safety net already. He wants the middle class to grow. That growth could bring people off the welfare dole. You are to simple minded. He didn't say he dosn't like or care about poor people.
So what if he said that. First. There's no 'if' to it. Second: Anyone being inthe Multi Millionaire's club would not understand. Would not have a clue of what it's like living in Free Market Planet Hell. See Outback wants Florida to pass bill knocking Tipped Waiters' salaries down to $2.31 per hour.

Might as well have said, 'Let them eat cake.' LMFAO
You can make a cake for less then a buck. That is as stupid as the nurse I saw on TV yesterday saying she couldn't afford the 30 bucks a month for birth control pills and the catholic church should pay for them. She was a moron like all supporters of the pervert freak in the White House.
No. You can't. Price it for me. Clueless. Or just give me the price of a bu of Hard Red Winter Wheat.

Betty crocker is 89 cents. If you get the store brand it is cheaper.
Recently, the NYT finally had a small flurry of stories about Jews abusing each other. Yet, when it comes to abusing everyone else, silence returns. Questioning themselves as to why they are evolving into intolerant, violent bigots, is life and death for the entire Jewish community from the most ‘liberal’ to the far right wing lunatics.
OK. For shits&giggles I'll go with that. Now. What do you mix, and cook it in? Where do you get the stove? The fuel for stove? Are you paying the Underwater Mortgage that allows you to stay in the house where the stove is? Or do you rent? And is that cake ALL you're eatin? Hope the ER is nearby.

You still have to add eggs, which are more than a dime apiece, and sometimes vegetable oil.

Back at World Military Domination Headquarters, the WP, is this story: CIA digs in as Americans withdraw from Iraq, Afghanistan. Here is a map of their bureaus all over the earth. Note that virtually all of them are in the middle east arc, with a few in the EU.
Certainly not where I live.
Anyone claiming to be an expert is selling something. I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. Aaron Bady
Me too, but then I make my cakes from scratch too. I like real ingredients in my food not chemicals. We have too many bobcats to let the chickens out for very long, and certainly not after dark. One got a chicken a few days ago in broad daylight not thirty feet from a bunch of kids exercising their horses.

I guess that chemical garbage is good enough for the poor with the added advantage of being able to blame diet related illness on their bad habits. Our hens used to hang out with the goats for protection.

Certainly not where I live. Ok I'm wrong. Betty Crocker was $1.25 today at Meijers. Meijer brand was 93 cents for chocolate cake mix.
Some you add nothing to. Just a wipe of grease on the pan. I like using plastic sandwich baggies for that task. That way I don't get my fingers greasy. Then you can usually put it back in the container. Just doing my part to save the planet.
Have you actually read the list of 'ingredients'?

Regardless. You can make a cake for a buck if you borrow an egg from the neighbor.
It just looks like a cake.

By the way you can make it even cheaper using flour, cocoa mix, sugar and margerine, vanilla.
Two eggs for the average urban dwelling person is forty cents or more. I like my cakes with at least four. And I use butter instead of margarine or shortening. So far we haven't even gotten to the additional cost of the frosting.

You don't get any frosting during the Obama depression! You'll have to wait until Ron Paul becomes president.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
So far we haven't even gotten to the additional cost of the frosting. Cake doesn't have to have frosting. Although it is definitely preferred. I like mine better with butter too. But I use margering sometimes because it is cheaper. I don't get food stamps like liberals do so I have to watch the costs. After we add up all the other factors. Remember that you don't have to cook it in an oven. You can cook it with wood that you find around where you live.
I was shopping for baking chocolate last night - $8.99 for 6 oz. - the amount used in the recipe.

I got an idea the other day. Then I googled it. Someone else already thought of it. It is called White chocolate mashed potatoes.
I don't either because I work full time and cannot qualify. I find this amusing because many conservatives with little or no income get the food stamps they qualify for. Hunger usually has no ideology to it. And you mis-spelled margarine.
Go for it!

Someone else stole my idea of crushing up Doritos and using them for breading.
Everything likes chicken. Beautiful Red. Saved from a hawk as it was trying to pull it thru the cage. The Bird would not leave from around the doors/carport. just dumb and innocent as a box of rocks. The neighbors rottweiler just came up and grabbed her. My labs escorted the rott carrying the bird off our property. I watched. Dumbfounded.....8D
So do you think his wife and daughter know????
There are a lot of bad Republicans; there are no good Democrats!!!
Who knows?

California's January Tax Revenue was $528M Below Estimate We're collapsing now. Gasoline consumption has fallen thru the floor.
Then why is the MSM feeding us $4 gasoline prices just around the corner?
And the gas lines and the damned traffic here! And the out of state license plates. I swear one third of the cars in town are from St Elsewhere. I have NEVER seen it so crowded. And every hotel in town is applying to the planning commission to add more rooms.

So Oilbomber has an excuse to attack Syria, Iran, Pakistan, or any country that has oil. Neolibs and necons are united in agreement, attack some ragheads, any or all.
