Thank the Democrats
In this season to be thankful, what do you want to thank Democrats for?
I want to thank Democrats that they removed Bibles from our public schools and replaced them with drugs and crime. I want to thank Democrats that our children no longer have to read "Thou shall not Kill" but are free to kill their classmates. I want to thank Democrats for jailing men for not paying child support for children that are not theirs. I want to thank Democrats for electing a president that can't even be determined to be American. I want to thank Democrats for keeping patriotic Americans busy defending the Constitution that Democrats constantly trample. I want to thank Democrats for making our educational system the least effective for the amount of money spent. What do you want to thank Democrats for? RogerN |

RogerN I want to thank Democrats for rebuilding the economy after the Republicans destroyed it. And for Obama to have another term. Laugh..laugh..laugh.. TMT Fed says economy is healthier; takes no new steps By MARTIN CRUTSINGER | AP - WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve on Tuesday portrayed the U.S. economy as slightly healthier and held off on any new steps to boost growth. Hiring is picking up and consumers are spending more despite slower growth globally, the Fed said in its policy statement issued after its final meeting of the year. However, Fed officials cautioned that business investment has slowed and unemployment remains high. And they warned of strains in global financial markets that pose a threat to the world's economy — a reference to Europe's debt crisis. They left open the possibility of taking new steps next year if the economy worsens. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 66 points for the day, after being up by as much as 126 points before the Fed issued its statement. Broader indexes also ended the day lower. The Fed made only slight changes to November's statement. The policy committee approved it by an identical 9-1 vote. Charles Evans dissented for the second straight meeting, arguing again for more action by the Fed. Still, the modestly upbeat statement appeared to disappoint investors and triggered the late-afternoon slump on Wall Street. Traders had hoped the Fed would announce new policy action, even though most economists expected none. "The Fed did exactly what the markets were expecting, which is nothing, so the market decline is puzzling," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "It is always possible that there was some outside hope the Fed would do more to support the economy at this meeting and when the markets didn't get that, they fell." Many economists said Fed policymakers likely spent their final meeting of the year fine-tuning a strategy for communicating changes in interest rates more explicitly. The Fed has left rates near zero for the past three years. More guidance would help assure investors, companies and consumers that rates won't rise before a specific time. The Fed made no mention of a new communications strategy in its statement. But economists say it could be unveiled as soon as next month, after the Fed's Jan. 24-25 policy meeting. Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, said the November minutes showed the Fed discussed adding an interest rate forecast to its quarterly economic projections. Swonk said the Fed may be trying to build a stronger consensus before announcing the change. She also noted that three Federal Reserve regional bank presidents who opposed key policy changes this year will not have votes next year. Charles Plosser of Philadelphia, Richard Fisher of Dallas and Narayana Kocherlakota of Minneapolis all dissented from the Fed's policy statements in September and August after citing concerns that the actions introduced at those meetings could fuel inflation. In September, the Fed said it would re-arrange its bond holdings to stress longer-term maturities, to try to exert more downward pressure on long-term rates. That followed the Fed's announcement in August that it planned to keep its benchmark rate at a record low until at least mid-2013, as long as the economy remains weak. It was the first time it had committed to keeping the rate there for a specific period. The Fed repeated that timeframe in its December policy statement. "I think the Fed will shift its communications policy once the most vehement dissenters rotate off in January," Swonk said. Each year, only five of the 12 regional bank presidents have votes. Fed officials are debating how much further to go to signal a likely timetable for any rate changes. Under one option, the Fed would start forecasting the levels it envisions for the funds rate over the subsequent two years. It could publish this forecast, as it now does its economic outlook, four times a year. Doing so would help assure investors, companies and consumers that rates won't rise before a specific time. This might help lower long- term yields further — in effect providing a kind of stimulus. Some worry that such guidance risks inhibiting the Fed's flexibility to revise interest rates if necessary. Others counter that the Fed wouldn't hesitate to shift rates if warranted. And they say the benefits of clearer guidance outweigh any constraints it might impose. The Fed is also discussing setting an explicit target for "core" inflation. Core inflation excludes the volatile categories of energy and food. It's remained historically low — currently around 1.5 percent by one measure. The economy, while improving, is still weak. And it remains vulnerable to the European debt crisis, which could push the continent into a recession and slow U.S. growth. On Nov. 30, the Fed joined other central banks in making it easier for banks to borrow dollars. The goal is to help prevent Europe's crisis from igniting a global panic. Should the U.S. economy worsen, the Fed could take bolder steps, such as buying more mortgage securities. Doing so could help push down mortgage rates and help boost home purchases. The weak housing market has been slowing the broader economy. The boldest move left would be a third round of large-scale purchases of Treasury securities. But critics say this would raise the risk of future inflation. And many doubt it would help much anyway, because Treasury yields are already near historic lows. Unless Europe's crisis worsens and spreads, few expect another program of Treasury purchases. |

Young The underlying concept that (falsely) feeling morally superior was better than learning to take effective action showed me the hollowness of liberalism. Indeed. I'm waiting for a book from the library _Death of the Liberal Class_ by Chris Hedges. It sounds like a very upbeat book. snort And it appears to point out how the libs have become everything they hate about conservatives. From Amazon, Editorial Reviews: From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. In this tsunami of terrifying revelations, juxtaposed truths, and demonstrated facts, Hedges (War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning) argues that the traditional beacons of the liberal class—the universities, media, church, labor unions, and arts–have sacrificed themselves completely to the dominance of corporate greed and unbounded capitalism. We are all to blame and everything moral about our democracy stands to be lost—is indeed already vanishing, in Hedges's view—and those who draw attention to it are banished and booed. While every page erupts with calamities of the human spirit worthy of their own irate broadcasts and bull-horned fury, Hedges is at his best when he unpacks the density of his polemic and embraces the power of his narrative. Regardless of form, however, his most interesting theses include the parallel between the current domestic climate and the fall of Weimar Germany and the conclusion that "Everything formed by violence is senseless and useless. It exists without a future. It leaves behind nothing but death, grief, and destruction." These insights come not just as warning, but as witness. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist The real danger to progressive social ideals is not President Obama’s failure to push through a more liberal agenda or the threat presented by the Tea Party and others pushing the Republicans more to the Right. Hedges argues that the true threat to liberalism is the long and gradual weakening of its ideals. Drawing on analysis and interviews from his long career as a journalist, including 15 years with the New York Times, Hedges chronicles the corruption of such bastions of liberalism as the Democratic Party, academia, and labor unions. He cites the NAFTA agreement and welfare reform during the Clinton administration and union coziness with corporations as recent examples of the merging of government and corporate interests to the detriment of the interests of the poor or even the middle class. He also reviews the long history of assassination and co-optation of radical voices in the U.S. and the singular career of Ralph Nader as a consistent voice against capitalist excess. This is a thoughtful analysis of why and how liberals have compromised principles due to the allure of power and wealth. --Vanessa Bush --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. -- However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. -- Sir Winston Churchill |

Something else to thank Democrats for:
Iraqis unable to defend their borders as US exits By The Associated Press BAGHDAD - After billions of dollars and nearly nine years of training, American troops are leaving behind an Iraqi security force arguably capable of providing internal security but unprepared to defend the nation against foreign threats at a time of rising tensions throughout the Middle East. Building up an Iraqi military and police able to protect the country became a key goal of the United States and its allies after they defeated and then disbanded the Saddam Hussein-era force in 2003. As America's role in Iraq fades, the results appear at best incomplete. Iraqi forces - currently about 700,000 strong - have been largely responsible for security in Baghdad and other cities since 2009, carrying out their own raids and other combat operations against insurgents. http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news...rs-as-us-exits RogerN |

TMT The Bush economy was better than this, the decline began as Democrats won more seats in 2006 and dropped rapidly when Obama got ahead in the polls. You can lie, because that's what you do, but I, and many others, know you're lying. RogerN The day the Democrats took over was not January 22, 2009, it was actually January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this: January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5% The Unemployment rate was 4.6% George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION! Remember that day... January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES! (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and guess what? The sky did fall!) And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!! So when someone tries to blame Bush... REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!" Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel and they were driving the economy into the ditch. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th." |

If you are a conservative you may agree with some of his criticism of liberals but you will not like anything else he has to say. He is completely anti right wing. Which just shows how smart he is. He's a former journalist too and has covered a number of wars. He's a fierce critic of the U.S. and of republicans. Right wingers hate the guy so I know he's doing something right. I've heard him give lectures too so I know his philosophy. I can't say I agree with the premise of this book though. Hawke |

TMT The Bush economy was better than this, the decline began as Democrats won more seats in 2006 and dropped rapidly when Obama got ahead in the polls. You can lie, because that's what you do, but I, and many others, know you're lying. RogerN The day the Democrats took over was not January 22, 2009, it was actually January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this: January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5% The Unemployment rate was 4.6% George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION! Remember that day... January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES! (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie& Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and guess what? The sky did fall!) And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!! So when someone tries to blame Bush... REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"\ Yes!!, we remember that. It was the first time since 1995 that the Democrats got a majority in congress. I guess you forgot that from 1995 all the way up to 1/3/07 when all the damage was done or could have been avoided it was the republicans who ran the show. Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel and they were driving the economy into the ditch. Now that is a lie. The Democrats were unable to implement a single policy until Obama took office. Every initiative they took was vetoed by Bush. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. Look at every budget the republicans presidents put out since Reagan was first elected. Every single one spent more than they took in. No party with a record like that has a word to say about spending to anyone. Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008& 2009 as well as 2010& 2011. Controlled? They were a part of it. No more than that. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. Bush vetoed no spending bills until Democrats were in the majority then he vetoed them all. For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi& Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: Just like they did all during Bush's two terms. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th." Congress voted for it. Not Obama. Congress spends the money, the president just adds his name to the bill. Hawke |

There probably isn't a country that can defend against the USA with Republicans in control. With Democrats in control for a length of time we probably couldn't defeat a girl scout troop armed with flaming marshmallows. RogerN |

The fact that this particular author refers to liberals as a "class" speaks volumes about the author's misconceptions. If they are using Ralph Nader as some sort of Icon...they are indeed...mentally ill The fact that this particular author uses Ralph Nader as some sort of icon says something about the author's (mis)understanding of progressives. The fact that Gunner is (again) dishing out medical and psychological diagnoses is yet another of Gunner's continuing series of venturing into areas where he is eminently unqualified. Which just goes to show that Im right far more often than not about the Leftwingers I'm glad you feel so good about yourself. But you are only "right" about this if you buy the author's premise as fact, and if you believe your diagnosis. It's clear from the comments that none of you are familiar with Chris Hedges. He's a liberal. As liberal as you can get. His book is critical of liberals as a class. He thinks they have not done their job in society and have let down the country by becoming too republican-like. If you are a conservative you may agree with some of his criticism of liberals but you will not like anything else he has to say. He is completely anti right wing. Which just shows how smart he is. He's a former journalist too and has covered a number of wars. He's a fierce critic of the U.S. and of republicans. Right wingers hate the guy so I know he's doing something right. I've heard him give lectures too so I know his philosophy. I can't say I agree with the premise of this book though. Hawke- I stand by what I wrote. I don't care what the author may think, but I disagree with his analysis. |

Hmmm. seems like if you want anything done you need Republicans as Democrats can't do anything except screw things up and blame Republicans RogerN I understand that you don't know much about how our political system works so let me explain it. The way it is set up it's very difficult to get things done because it is very easy to stop things from being done and very hard to actually do things. If you have heard the republican speaker of the house lately he's complaining that they are passing bills in the house but none of them get signed into law because the Democrat controlled senate won't pass them. That's exactly what happened when the Democrats took over in 2007. They passed all kinds of things but the republicans stopped them. Now it's the Democrat's turn to stop the republicans from doing anything. That's how it works. To get things done you need a big majority. Bush had a big majority until the 2006 election and during that time he got all kinds of things he wanted done. When Obama got elected he had a big majority too and he got a bunch of things passed he wanted. He lost that majority in 2010 and since has not gotten hardly anything passed. So that's how it works. All that simply explains why when the republicans had the majority from 2001 until 2007 they put in place the right wing economic policies that exploded in 2007-2008. Obama has been working since he took office to try to repair the damage done by Bush's foolish trickle down, free market policies. So do us a favor and quit trying to blame the Democrats for the mistakes that were made by the republicans. That is a very unchristian thing to do. It's very dishonest. And a sin! So you better quit it if you have plans of going to heaven. Hawke |

You come on like a little boy trying to join an adult conversation, but you just don't have enough depth of insight to be able to make a useful contribution, plus you're too petty and obnoxious to even be amusing. You make big noises about your alleged poli sci degree, but all that you show us is that left = good, right(as in, anyone who points out your errors)= bad. You can't even recognize that there are valid political stances other than left/right or that there are people like me far to the left of you who see you for the shallow poseur that you are. Get lost. Just as soon as you're gone. Hawwk-ptooey Nah, I'll be here conversing with the adults. Maybe someday you'll grow up enough to join us. I'm not counting on it. David Where did you get the idea you're one of the adults? A) The fact that I know what I'm talking about, rather than spewing establishment left rhetoric. B) [See A above] Pretending to be one is different than actually being one. Hawwk-ptooey I will accept your superior knowledge and experience in pretending to be an adult. David |

Maybe some day you will grant us the privilege of actually hearing some of your wisdom on some subject. Because so far there doesn't seem to be any of your gems of knowledge anywhere for us to read. Just a bunch of condescending, know it all, blather comes out of you. But not a thing that would indicate you have any kind of useful knowledge or insight into anything of interest to anyone else. Here you had us all expecting these great things from you and then you say nothing. In business we call that over promising and under delivering or OPUD. Too bad. You had our expectations so high and then pffffft! Hawke |

Maybe some day you will grant us the privilege of actually hearing some of your wisdom on some subject. This shows you haven't been paying attention to anything but your ranting. I occasionally ask and answer questions, plus commenting on machining based on 30+ years in the metalworking industry. I guess you don't follow the threads that actually talk about metal. Because so far there doesn't seem to be any of your gems of knowledge anywhere for us to read. Just a bunch of condescending, know it all, blather comes out of you. But not a thing that would indicate you have any kind of useful knowledge or insight into anything of interest to anyone else. Nah, you're the only one I condescend to, now that Cliffie is gone. I don't do it to the adults. "I'll take the prisoner downstairs, said Tom Swift, condescendingly." I guess you missed the discussion I had with Ed about the old days of RYM, RYM II and radical chic in general. Demos against the war while the badgeless police rioted in the background. The memory of CS gas still brings a nostalgic tear to my eyes. Here you had us all expecting these great things from you and then you say nothing. In business we call that over promising and under delivering or OPUD. Too bad. You had our expectations so high and then pffffft! Hawwke-ptooey Maybe you can share some of your machinist experiences so I can contribute more derision about how you got your foot caught in the lathe chuck. David |
