The "private sector" has robbed you of more money to this point in your life than "big government" will in your entire lifetime. The "private sector" is not completely "efficient", not above corruption, and definitely in need of a counter balance, (i.e. "the people"). Private enterprise? Heck yes! Free market worship? Heck no! And remember, the military is a socialist institution.” 3:29:35 PM 9/29/09 “Oh yeah? Well they did it too! Yeah and Bush lied! Oh and they helped Haliburton! Yeah and big oil is polluting the World. And i lost 75 cents at the car wash yesterday...so we should let Obama force it's way into our healthcare at the point of a gun or you go to jail.... Real nice logic Dan. Pepsi the red nosed liberal- You just said you never do what I said you do then you did what I said you do then you said you'de never do what you just did...nice try. Quit pretendind you're objective, quit acting like you know what I think and who influences me. Right wing mouthpieces associates? WTF told you that steeming pile of horsecrap? Where do you get your information? OOh, I get it...the vast right-wing conspiracy....” 5:57:23 PM 9/29/09 “Just reading the exchange is hilarious..Pepsi...change subjects Strat is ripping you a new one (not that there is anything wrong with THAT)...LOL” 6:01:33 AM 9/30/09 “Well its over...start looking for the new Messiah (LOL). Yep this one didn't make a year before the Tshirt industry turned on him. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/29/national/main5350595.shtml That's been the biggest shift in Obama merchandising - the rise of anti-Obama sales in recent months. Online retailer CafePress.com, where users can make and sell their own shirt designs, saw anti-Obama sales boom since June. "When it comes to political or pop culture we can become somewhat of a barometer of what's going on in the world," said Amy Maniatis, vice president of marketing for CafePress. "Our T-shirt sales now are much more reflective of the opinion polls - about 50-50 pro vs. con." The numbers were in Obama's favor 99-to-1 during the inauguration. Still, even on his worst days, Obama's support measured in T-shirt sales hasn't fallen below the best days of President George W. Bush's popularity, she said. "For the first time, wearing a T-shirt with the president on it was really hip," Maniatis said. "That hadn't happened in a long time." The site raked in more than $20 million in political sales last year, thanks mostly to Obama. It now carries about 3 million different Obama designs - with about 2 million singing the president's praises and 1 million making fun of him. Socialist and communist themes are most popular, such as "Obamunism" and "Comrade Obama." And in one night, "You Lie!" became a big-selling T-shirt topic after South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson let loose on Obama during his speech to Congress about health care. ” 6:42:02 AM 9/30/09 “No, Strat, (if you are addressing me), that is as inaccurate interpretation of what I'm trying to say as you can get. I'm saying that thinking you can solve all the world's evils by tearing down government and not addressing corruption in the marketplace is simplistic at best. Is it not true that the financial meltdown has cost this country billions upon billions of dollars? I'm all for a more streamlined and efficient government. However, I am absolutely for checks and balances for both the government and the private sector. And, as I want to point out again, big military is big government.” 11:03:14 AM 9/30/09 “As IKE indicated when he handed the Industrial Military Complex over to JFK: Close attention must be payed to these industrial giants that have the capacity to become the masters and not the slaves of the american people.” 11:10:29 AM 9/30/09 “They're the Masters of War! They build the big bombs!” 11:12:46 AM 9/30/09 “Not more BloB?” 11:30:08 AM 9/30/09 “"You just said you never do what I said you do then you did what I said you do then you said you'de never do what you just did" ooh, yeah... burn. Strat, what's communism again? Still can't explain it, can you?” 11:42:30 AM 9/30/09 “Peppy, You should know that communism is so bad that learning what it is is worse than being one.” 11:51:54 AM 9/30/09 “I'm lumping him in with people by calling him a lone nutjob jerkoff... lol, perfect... and if Beck isn't right wing, what is he?” 11:53:17 AM 9/30/09 “Wrong wing?” 12:05:24 PM 9/30/09 “Fright wing?” 12:10:03 PM 9/30/09 “Paranoid Bigot Wing?” 12:22:33 PM 9/30/09 “"I will make money any way I can no matter to whom I have to sell my soul" wing?” 4:19:38 PM 9/30/09 “Poor little messiah.” 4:23:02 PM 9/30/09 “I'm staying Upwind and Upstream of the Industrial Hog Farm wing.” 4:28:17 PM 9/30/09 “I'm arguing with idiots..... Oh look, here's one now.... what's communism again? Still can't explain it, can you?” pepsisformosa DErrRRrrerrr, duh, no me two stoopud {drool}” 5:52:39 PM 9/30/09 “oh yes, how completely STUPID of me to challenge you to define these commies and fascists you're hiding under your bed from. You're right, it was awful stupid of me to ask for something I know you don't have... lol” 5:55:33 PM 9/30/09 “I'm not hiding from $h1tand I never will. I'm standing out in the open confronting it. I don't hide my agenda the way you do.” 5:59:03 PM 9/30/09 “well, you've said variously (I'll give you the quotes if you'd like) that Obama is both a fascist and a communist - although those two seem mutually exclusive. I figured that indicated that you didn't know what one or the other (or both maybe?) were... so I asked... repeatedly. You proved my suspicions correct. Let's hope Glenn Beck does a show on the definition of communism soon... then you can come on here and prove me wrong” 6:00:52 PM 9/30/09 Maybe this'll help ya sort it out “Kim Jong-il Opts for Socialism Over Communism North Korean leader Kim Jong-il apparently explained the deletion of the word "communism" from the country's constitution, which was revised in April. "It is difficult to comprehend communism. I will try to get socialism right," Kim was reported as saying by a spokesman for the state-run Minju Chosun newspaper. The spokesman was talking to South Korean reporters on the sidelines of inter-Korean family reunions in Mt. Kumgang. "This is the reason behind the deletion of 'communism' from the constitution," he said. "Communism is meant to be a one-class society where there is no distinction between exploiter and exploited, but that system cannot exist while American imperialism lasts." The term "communism" has been removed from clauses 29, 40 and 43 of the revised constitution, disclosed for the first time on Monday by South Korean officials who obtained a copy. "It appears that North Korea has decided it is better to be flexible stance and reform the system from a socialist perspective rather than continue droning on about something as anachronistic as communism," said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korean studies professor at Dongkuk University. "Through these changes, North Korea appears to be sending out a message that Kim Jong-il is firmly in control and leading the country." Meanwhile, Clause 100 of the revised constitution stipulates, "The chairman of the National Defense Committee is the supreme leader," officially recognizing Kim Jong-il's absolute power. Clause 101 stipulates that Kim's term will last as long as the committee exists, and Clause 102 states he serves as the commander in chief of the military. Those clauses did not exist before. The North Korean leader also formally assumes "special pardoning rights," previously the domain of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, as well as the right to ratify and scrap important treaties, declare states of emergency or war and mobilize the military. Clause 8 stipulates that it is the state's responsibility to protect the human rights of citizens. The old constitution held the state responsible only for the people's safety and welfare.” 6:11:59 PM 9/30/09 “anybody can copy and paste something... but a person who actually understands it can do it in his own words. It can be done in a single paragraph, if not a sentence. In the time it took you to read that article (assuming you read it... you do read everything you copy/paste, don't you?) you could've answered me ten times over in your own words... if you had any” 6:13:43 PM 9/30/09 “anyway, it's been a hoot, but I'm heading home - I like to keep my TT limited to work time, but feel free to blather away on here all you want. I'll answer you tomorrow morning if I'm not too busy” 6:14:51 PM 9/30/09 “I'm not hiding from $h1t and I never will. I'm standing out in the open confronting it. I don't hide my agenda the way you do.” Stratd00d” 8:40:50 PM 9/30/09 “You drooled on yourself again.” 8:47:21 PM 9/30/09 “message from Tllt being ignored again” 8:48:41 PM 9/30/09 “Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Start there, Strat. Proletariat rule, right after horrifying re-education. Karl with a "K". These are all good quotes to show you have an understanding of communism.” 10:25:55 AM 10/01/09 “I like that he makes a point to TELL you he's ignoring you, Tilt. Fingers in ears, shouting "I can't heeeeaaaar you! Lalalalalalala!" How can you surround someone you're ignoring?” 10:53:19 AM 10/01/09 “Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary? A: One’s full of tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for prisoners.” 6:47:59 PM 10/05/09 “http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/ISL512222.htm WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Robert Gates blamed the Taliban's revival on a past failure to deploy enough troops to Afghanistan and said U.S. forces would not withdraw whatever the result of President Barack Obama's strategy review. "We are not leaving Afghanistan. This discussion is about next steps forward and the president has some momentous decisions to make," Gates said in a TV programme taped at George Washington University on Monday and being aired by CNN on Tuesday. Obama faces pivotal decisions after the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, presented a grim assessment of the eight-year war.” 7:27:00 AM 10/06/09 Interesting post there ExLax “...Gates suggested U.S. and allied failure to put more troops into Afghanistan in the past, when then-president George W. Bush shifted resources to invade Iraq, gave the Taliban an edge. "Because of our inability, and the inability, frankly, of our allies, (for putting) enough troops into Afghanistan, the Taliban do have the momentum right now, it seems," Gates said.” 7:45:48 AM 10/06/09 “We coulda whipped the Japs sooner, too, I we did not have to spread our resources over Europe.” 7:50:22 AM 10/06/09 “True, but Nazi Germany was by far a greater threat than Hussein's Iraq ever dreamed to be.” 7:56:29 AM 10/06/09 “Defense Secretary Robert Gates blamed the Taliban's revival on a past failure to deploy enough troops to Afghanistan The Taliban weren't defeated in 2001. They withdrew from the cities because organized military maneuvering would've quickly been decimated by American air power. This is why they fled and morphed into a decentralized guerrilla force. I don't think there was ever any doubt that the Taliban would be back, no matter what our troop commitment would be. It was just a matter of when. Statements like Gates' strike me as a bit dishonest.” 8:27:14 AM 10/06/09 “Bottom line AGAIN: Bush screwed the pooch.” 8:34:46 AM 10/06/09 “In afghanistan? In what way?” 8:37:46 AM 10/06/09 “Watered down forces in Afghanitsan by shifiting resources to a trumped up war in Iraq. We've been down this discussion road before. No need to regurgitate.” 10:02:59 AM 10/06/09 “Oh that's right - I remember you presupposing the war was "winnable".” 10:28:30 AM 10/06/09 “Nope. I've never entertained it either way.” 11:16:45 AM 10/06/09 “When we even have troops in Pakiscam -Waziriscam , we still won't be able to handle all of Israels buddies to the east.” 11:37:30 AM 10/06/09 “ ”6:54:36 PM 10/06/09 “ ”7:03:01 PM 10/06/09 “A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan. Once he discovers the cowboy is from President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words. As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?" Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies." "Well Sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse." "Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?" "No, Sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse's ass." "That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more. After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."” 7:43:36 AM 10/07/09 “Barack Hussein D'ohbama...MMMM MMMM MMMM” 7:47:24 AM 10/07/09 “MMMM MMMMM MMMM http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28004.html Despite the embarrassing rejection of his effort to lure the 2016 Olympic Games to his hometown of Chicago, President Barack Obama will keep the first-ever White House Olympic Office, POLITICO has learned. The White House stressed that the office, officially called the White House Office of Olympic, Paralympic and Youth Sport, is permanent and has purposes other than helping U.S. cities bid on and host the Olympics. “It was always our intention that this office would continue to exist regardless of the outcome of the 2016 bid,” said a White House official, explaining that the office will work to boost youth sports and will coordinate with the State Department and other agencies to facilitate U.S. athletes’ participation in the Olympics and Paralympics in other countries.
