And Yet Another Attack On Americans!

"I don't respond to partisan tripe, blah blah blah...."


And yet another brain dead Liberal bites the dust.


So stipulated.....the media is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberalism, Inc.

Like I said, your media is owned by 6 major multinational corporations, you can thank "liberal" Bill Clinton for deregulating the FCC. Furthermore you seem to have no trouble locating myopically slanted partisan material with which to reinforce your own myopic views and avoid anything that would challenge what you have accepted as a religion.
So I take that as a "no" regarding a discussion since you seem able only to paste in the views of others.

Oh....and one more:

"Like I said,..."

It's "As I said."



Government schooling let you down again.

I'm schooled enough to see all you're here for is to sling partisanshit.

A defining characteristic: on my side of the aisle, facts and knowledge; on your side of the aisle, profanity and vulgarity. Seems I've scored another point against ignorance, indoctrination and mythology.

Excellent.

Yes of course, have a nice day.

Punctuation errors make me (sic).

1. Let’s eat Grandma.
2. Let’s eat, Grandma.
3. Punctuation saves lives.

Not "Yes of course, have a nice day." It should be "Yes, of course. Have a nice day."


And, you....the same.

Given the fact this republican majority house and senate are nothing but a bunch of total cowards lying to their constituents as to what they would do if elected, and given they will probably do obama's bidding on this one too ----

I truly have to believe a majority of republican have incriminating evidence in their past that is now being used against them as blackmail should they dare speak out against certain powers. Obama gets away with murder and no one in congress challenges him, nor do they see any of these scandals to incriminating ends. Blackmail, mostly of sexual nature, has to be at play here.

So true....and so disheartening.

Conservatives are political orphans in this once great nation.

Who did that to them I wonder.

The bias of the news media, academia and government schools.

O'Sullivan's First Law (a.k.a. O'Sullivan's Law), paraphrased by George Will as stating that any institution that is not libertarian and classically liberal will, over time, become collectivist and statist.

O'Sullivan's First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows. http://old.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-jos062603.asp


BTW....are you a government school grad?

The ACLU is statist?

That must be why they are so often suing the government.

Now for yet another attempt to fill in your innumerable lacunae...(better look that up)

"The ACLU’s untold Stalinist heritage


Noted author Paul Kengor has unearthed declassified letters and other documents in the Soviet Comintern archives linking early leaders of the ACLU with the Communist Party.

Kengor found a May 23, 1931 letter in the archives signed by ACLU founder Roger Baldwin, written on ACLU stationery, to then American Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster asking him to help ACLU Chairman Harry Ward with his then-upcoming trip to Stalin’s Russia.
The letter suggests Ward intended to visit the Soviet Union to find “evidence from Soviet Russia” that would undermine the capitalist profit motive.

Baldwin wrote the letter at a time when Stalin was deporting 1.8 million Ukrainian peasants to Siberia under his policy of the forced collectivization of agriculture, which resulted in the deaths of up to 10 million Ukrainians in the two years that followed.

On his way out the door, Barack Hussein Obama is rushing to hammer one more nail in the coffin of the American economy.....that HE killed.



1. "Obama races to cement the big Pacific Rim trade deal that all his potential successors oppose

2. ...Obama is racing against the clock to cement a massive Pacific Rim trade deal that all of his potential successors oppose,....

3. Ordinarily, a presidential administration would wait until Congress ratifies a trade agreement before putting it into force with member nations. But with just eight months left in office and presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders all against the deal, Obama and his advisors appear to have concluded that they must speed up that lengthy process to preserve the trade pact.




4. ....both Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress have said they are reluctant to bring the measure to a vote during the heat of a presidential campaign in which the three remaining presidential contenders are avowed opponents.

5. ....critics in Congress were particularly skeptical of what they saw as overly generous terms for Vietnam to comply with new labor and environmental standards of the deal,....





6. .....a report from the International Trade Commission released last week, which found that the deal would boost U.S. annual real income by only a modest $57.3 billion by 2032, gave ammunition to opponents in organized labor who said its potential impact on U.S. manufacturing was too severe.


7. "[The] report is so damaging that any reasonable observer would have to wonder why the administration or Congress would spend even one more day trying to turn this disastrous proposal into a reality," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said."
Obama races to cement the big Pacific Rim trade deal that all his potential successors oppose





Just one more attempt by this tin-pot dictator, the titular head of the LGBT movement, to impose policies that will injure the American people.

While the programs are great for colleges — they have enabled an astronomical increase in tuition — they contain few measures holding the institutions accountable to their students.

· Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.

· The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.

· The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.

Heritage Foundation Chief Economist Steve Moore explained in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, “At 2 percent growth the economy doesn’t spin off enough jobs to increase wages, and tax revenues grow much too slowly to balance the budget.”

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened.

If the companies are leaving, why the steady job growth?

And you don't believe in Free Trade?

"The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population,..." The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment



a. ".... the number of Americans not in the labor force rose once again, this time to 93,194K from 93,175K, with the result being a participation rate of 69.45 or just above the lowest percentage since 1977, will merely catalyze even more upside to the so called "market" which continues to reflect nothing but central bank liquidity, and thus - the accelerating deterioration of the broader economy." Americans Not In The Labor Force Rise To Record 93,194,000 | Zero Hedge

Very steady, in a country growing older and retiring.

It appears your propaganda is not well though out. No surprise there.



Job Creation Isn’t Matching Population Growth


The decline in the participation rate has coincided with the longer-term deceleration in US growth. Back in the late 1990s, when the participation rate was at its peak, the economy was growing more than twice as fast as recent levels. Between 1996 and 2000, real US gross domestic product growth averaged 4.3%. Since then, GDP growth has averaged a relatively limp 1.8%, with growth never topping 3.5% for any given year. While there are a number of factors that help explain the declining growth rate – including slower productivity growth, slower population growth and the aftermath of the financial crisis – fewer people working is arguably contributing to the slowdown.


Job Creation Isn't Matching Population Growth - Market Realist

We are one of many dying nations, if not for immigration, and deregulation caused a housing crash we aren't even close to recovering from. Obama was supposed to fix all this, alone?

obama pushed policies that only benefited the wealthy. When the architect of obummer care states, in public, that they had to rely on lying and the collective stupidity of the American public to get it passed a thinking person would say to themselves, "hmmm. if it's so great why do they have to lie to me and rely on me being stupid to get it passed"?

I hate to break it to ya, but you're one of the stupid ones they relied on. What's sad is you could actually have used that moment to start educating yourself but no, you decided to double down on stupid.

Obamacare's subsidies and the expansion of Medicaid ONLY benefit the wealthy?

"The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Not much of a critical thinker are you? Who has benefited the most from obummercare? the insurance companies. Who WROTE obummercare? The insurance companies. The number of people who will benefit from obummercare will be vastly outnumbered by those who are screwed by it. It's called a cost/benefit ratio. Were you smarter than a gnat you would understand what I am talking about.

 

[miketx]

Perhaps when you begin to see the system as a whole and not just politician on the "other side" as your problem?

As a liberal I don't think you could be anymore fucking stupid. I did not blame one set of politicians, I said "Washington" meaning all of them. How the fuck do you stay so stupid?

 

[Dot Com]

I don't respond to partisan tripe, certainly not going to respond with pasting in partisan tripe in opposition to your partisan tripe. Did you have something you wished to discuss?

"I don't respond to partisan tripe, blah blah blah...."


And yet another brain dead Liberal bites the dust.


So stipulated.....the media is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberalism, Inc.

Like I said, your media is owned by 6 major multinational corporations, you can thank "liberal" Bill Clinton for deregulating the FCC. Furthermore you seem to have no trouble locating myopically slanted partisan material with which to reinforce your own myopic views and avoid anything that would challenge what you have accepted as a religion.
So I take that as a "no" regarding a discussion since you seem able only to paste in the views of others.

Oh....and one more:

"Like I said,..."

It's "As I said."



Government schooling let you down again.

I'm schooled enough to see all you're here for is to sling partisanshit.

A defining characteristic: on my side of the aisle, facts and knowledge; on your side of the aisle, profanity and vulgarity. Seems I've scored another point against ignorance, indoctrination and mythology.

Excellent.

Au contraire. "Intellectualism" abandoned your party w/ the departure of William Buckley Sugar Shorts and that was some time ago

You claimed that Obamacare ONLY benefited the wealthy. Prove it.

btw, Obama cut the payroll tax for 2 years. Did that ONLY benefit the wealthy?

The stimulus bill increased EITC. did that only benefit the wealthy?

The stimulus bill expanded child tax credit. Did that only benefit the wealthy?

Shall I go on?

Who benefited from health care before the passage of the PPACA? How many were left out and/or lost their life assets? The fact is the Republican Party opposed reform and did everything they could to protect the insurance companies, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. They and their constituents (the aforementioned insurance - medical - drug complex) orchestrated the summer of protest by feeding false pathos to the biddable (the Tea Party) in terms of "Socialism" which of course has been exposed as a joke, since who profits from the PPACA? (read your own post!).

Must be Obama's fault.

Have you got a similar graph for women?

Sure they do. propagandists simply love graphs. They can make them look however they want them to. There are no facts involved in these though. They are simply pretty pictures to keep the morons amused.

Ah, so numbers don't matter to you to then, it's just ideology.

So be it.

No. FACTS matter. You're posting up propaganda. I suggest you look up the meaning of the word.
