The News Says that the Republican Brown is going to START with the Democrats

We aren't going to have a nuclear war with Russia, but we're willing to allow your rouge states to take out Tel Aviv, Warsaw, Budapest, Paris, London, whatever, because not deploying a defensive shield is what the Russians would like us to do so they can maintain their drive to dominate two continents...

Damn those rouge states. Not quite pinkos, not quite Reds.

You're late to the party...







That was a bang up job those Republicans did these last two weeks in upholding their core "conservative" principles and heeding to the will of the people...

No wonder they're already Wrighting stories about the failure of the Tea Party Congress and the Comeback Kid II.

This is the typical response of the Left and the proof is in the cackling of the trolls. When the pedophiles like Throb find you clever and witty, it should give you pause, but I guess the comfort of the consensus makes one a bit immune to shame...

Of course it is typical to slam your distorted and ludicrous nonsense. It deserves nothing else but disdain and ridicule. You're just a useful idiot to the wingnuts and tea baggers. I bet even they giggle at your posts. But, you've got the c/p skillz that they so adore.

Hmm..."73% of Americans favor ratifying START treaty."..."78% favor repealing DADT"..."59% support the tax compromise."

Which people are they out of touch with, again?

I know, you can show me several "conservative" websites that swear up and down, honest Injun, that THOSE were the conservative positions all along...



DADT was a Clinton initiative, the liberal DEMOCRAT position, which is why it was the law of the land for so long...

Those are RINOs. They're probably illegals too.

Were you always this stupid, or is it the disappointment?

I bitched about Bush for six years, and through all that time the Republicans on this board never trashed me the way the Democrats do now that "their guy" is "in charge."

They were angry when Bush was President, but they seem even more angry now that Obama is President.

Maybe it's just disappointment.

Maybe because that's who they really are!

Seriously? This is your reply? No other retort to calling out your hypocrisy concerning polls? Nothing to c/p even? Are you feeling well today?

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

I have my answer.




To two questions, the second being, how many posts does it take before a liberal hurls the "h" word at anyone who disagrees with the "right" position on any (and every) issue.

I now have enough instances from you to do a statistical analysis and it's about 2.85.

That isn't a retort. It's a weak wet fart at best. You usually do much better than this. I might have to take BB off ignore.

It looks like it would be an even trade. Not really worth the effort, sad to say.

A single 100 megaton air burst would be enough to cause a nuclear winter and pollute the Earth for many many years

There are plenty who believe a post-nuclear war would have many benefits:

• reduced traffic congestion
• better seats available for Super Bowl
• annoying Australian accents almost eliminated
• cellphone health dangers put in proper perspective

Murkowski is already showing a fierce independent streak, becoming the only Republican to cast votes*on all four items on President Barack Obama’s wish list: a repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” a tax-cut compromise, the START deal and cloture for the DREAM Act.

And so it goes, the 75-percenters...

Riding the lamest of ducks, President Obama just won the Triple Crown. He fulfilled (1) his most important economic priority, passage of Stimulus II, a.k.a. the tax-cut deal (the perfect pre-reelection fiscal sugar high — the piper gets paid in 2013 and beyond); (2) his most important social-policy objective, repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell”; and (3) his most cherished (achievable) foreign-policy goal, ratification of the New START treaty with Russia.

Politically, these are all synergistic. The bipartisan nature of the tax deal instantly repositioned Obama back to the center. And just when conventional wisdom decided the deal had caused irreparable alienation from his liberal base, Obama almost immediately won it back — by delivering one of the gay-rights movement’s most elusive and coveted breakthroughs.

The symbolism of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal cannot be underestimated. It’s not just that for the civil-rights community, it represents a long-awaited extension of the historic arc — first blacks, then women, now gays. It was also Obama decisively transcending the triangulated trimming of Bill Clinton, who instituted “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the first place. Even more subtly and understatedly, the repeal represents the taming of the most conservative of the nation’s institutions, the military, by a movement historically among the most avant-garde. Whatever your views, that is a cultural landmark.

Then came START, which was important for Obama not just because of the dearth of foreign-policy achievements in these last two years but because treaties, especially grand-sounding treaties on strategic arms, carry the aura of presidential authority and diplomatic mastery.

No matter how useless they are, or even how damaging. New START was significantly, if subtly, damaging, which made the rear-guard Republican opposition it engendered so salutary. The debate it sparked garnered the treaty more attention than it would have gotten otherwise and thus gave Obama a larger PR victory. But that debate also amplified the major flaw in the treaty — the gratuitous re-establishment of the link between offensive and defensive weaponry.

...

The great liberal ascendancy of 2008, destined to last 40 years (predicted James Carville), lasted less than two. Yet, the great Republican ascendancy of 2010 lasted less than two months. Republicans will enter the 112th Congress with larger numbers but no longer with the wind — the overwhelming Nov. 2 repudiation of Obama’s social-democratic agenda — at their backs.

“Harry Reid has eaten our lunch,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, lamenting his side’s “capitulation” in the lame-duck session. Yes, but it was less Harry than Barry. Obama came back with a vengeance. His string of lame-duck successes is a singular political achievement. Because of it, the epic battles of the 112th Congress begin on what would have seemed impossible just one month ago — a level playing field.

Good morning Democrat tool.

Obamacare is the gift that just keeps giving...whether you want it or not. I just received a letter from my health insurance company informing me that they were "updating my plan to include additional coverage." As a business owner, I directly pay for my own insurance, and last year I saw my rates rise significantly in anticipation of the new health care law.
My new coverage includes the following:
· My lifetime dollar maximum is removed. Since I understand the meaning of the word "insurance," I had chosen a policy with a high deductible and a very high lifetime maximum. I suspect that I'm now subsidizing those who had chosen a small lifetime maximum.
· My lifetime maximum is removed for transplant services and sterilization services. I'm not sure how many times I might want to get sterilized. I suspect one time would do it, but there you go.
· Adult children will be considered dependents until age 26, no matter what. Now by age 26 I had been serving in the Army for 8 years and would not have dreamed about living off of my parents in any way. I think I'll consider myself a failure as a parent if my children haven't made their way in the world by age 26.
So the bottom line is that I have new benefits that I did not want , would not choose to pay for, and don't need. By sheer common sense and the laws of economics, those benefits must come at a cost (No Free Lunch). The hefty hike in premiums that I faced last year was certainly in anticipation of the new law.

Of course, Obamacare was meant to increase my choice in health insurance and make it more affordable, right? Apparently not. The last section of the letter tells me about "my grandfathered status." "Your plan does not have to carry other mandated benefits required by plans purchased after the new health care legislation was passed. Those additional benefits will likely mean corresponding increases in premium." So if I ever want to change health care plans or providers I must accept the coverage dictated by the government, regardless of what I want, and pay accordingly. Thank you Mr. President, I can't wait to see what you will get me next year.

M Allen Fritsch is an entrepreneur and business owner. He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy and a former Army officer. He foolishly believes he is responsible for paying for his own health insurance.

Sure, it pays for them when they're in the emergency room. When they could've been treated for a whole lot less if they'd been seeing a doctor for preventive care. And guess who pays for that expensive care through higher premiums.

AJ, this isn't rocket science. Even you can do the math. Heh.
