When she asks how she looks shrug and say "could be better" this will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness (or if she grabs your hand squeeze hers really really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs; they love to be roughed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is say you say "you better be". Repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement, and every girl needs some improvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most. Then, when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because jewelry is for pussies and asian ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes, mouth the words @#%$ you, and grab the other girls ass. Girls love competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then, take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then, drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because i can."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those special nicknames.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Warm her up when she's cold...and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop bitching about the cold right now you're going to be bitching about a black eye". The best way to get warm is with fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the partys dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things. Like basketball or waterpolo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. if you care about her, never ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way she'll go crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. Take her out to dinner. Right when shes about to order interrupt and say "no she's not hungry". Make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Look her in the eyes and smile. Then clock her one to the face. Girls love a spontaneous guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Give her one of your t-shirts......and make sure it has your smell on it. But not a sexy cologne smell. A bad smell. You know what i'm talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. When its raining keep asking her if she's crying. She'll say no it's just the rain. Ten minutes later, turn to her and just scream at her to stop crying you @#%$ baby. Girls like a tough man as i've already stated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. Titty twisters, and plenty of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. this way she'll think you're mysterious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. Remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her material objects aren't important. The only thing thats important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas or just&lt;br /&gt;whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then, next time you know&lt;br /&gt;she's coming over on a trash day, leave the trash can open and have the&lt;br /&gt;present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't like this one&lt;br /&gt;that much, but I think it's funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will,&lt;br /&gt;promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will&lt;br /&gt;make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call that you're&lt;br /&gt;going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really excited. Don't&lt;br /&gt;call.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;'Even before details were clear about the Arizona shooting, Left-wingers  tried to assess blame for the tragedy to Sarah Palin, the Tea Party,  Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the Second Amendment. When it became clear  that the gunman was a deranged lunatic whose political philosophy was  more in tune with the loony Left than the Tea Party, liberals continued  to cry out against a so-called climate of hate perpetuated by  Right-wingers.

Here are the Top 10  Examples of Liberal Hate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(1) Palin Derangement Syndrome&lt;/strong&gt;:  The Left’s obsessive hatred of Sarah Palin is well-chronicled and is  often accompanied by violent rhetoric. Let these three examples suffice:  (1) Keith Halloran, a New Hampshire Democratic candidate, said on a  Facebook thread that he wished Palin had been aboard the Alaska plane  that crashed, killing five including Sen. Ted Stevens; (2) Another New  Hampshire Democrat, Timothy Horrigan resigned from the state legislature  after writing this gem on Facebook: "Well a dead Palin wd be even more  dangerous than a live one . . .  she is all about her myth &amp;amp; if she  was dead she cldn't commit any more gaffes"; and (3) foul-mouthed  comedian Sandra Bernhard warned Palin she would be "gang-raped by my big  black brothers" if she tried coming to New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(2) Obama packing heat&lt;/strong&gt;:  Barack Obama has repeatedly sprinkled his political campaigning with  words more appropriate to a street thug than the President of the United  States. During his 2008 campaign he said in June, “If they bring a  knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” and in September, “I want you to go  out and talk to your neighbors. . . . I want you to argue with them,  get in their faces.” He kept it up during the recent midterm election  with this comment: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying,  ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends . . .  .”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(3) Courtland Milloy’s spit wish&lt;/strong&gt;: Washington Post  columnist Courtland Milloy said that after the health care vote he  wanted to spit on and assault Tea Party members: “I know how the ‘tea  party’ people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed  during the recent House vote on health care reform. I know because I  want to spit on them, take one of their ‘Obama Plan White Slavery’ signs  and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon  heads.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(4) Krugman’s flip flop&lt;/strong&gt;: New York &lt;em&gt;Times &lt;/em&gt;columnist  Paul Krugman was first out of the box connecting the Arizona shooting  to Right-wing speech that created a climate of hate, intoning, “the  purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the  GOP establishment.” He must have forgotten his own words in December  2009 during the health care debate when he wrote, “A message to  progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(5) Bush Derangement Syndrome&lt;/strong&gt;:  Before it fades into history, the liberal hatred of President Bush  should be recalled. Codepink, Michael Moore, rap stars and Hollywood  comedians hurled vitriol against the President. A movie was made about  his assassination. But as an example of violent rhetoric, special  attention should be given to remarks made by New York State Comptroller  Alan Hevesi, who later apologized for describing fellow Democrat Sen.  Charles Schumer as "the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically,  who will put a bullet between the President's eyes if he could get away  with it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(6) &lt;em&gt;Daily Kos&lt;/em&gt;’ hypocrisy&lt;/strong&gt;:  Markos Moulitsas, of the liberal Daily Kos, was also quick to indict the  Right for the Arizona tragedy, tweeting that Sarah Palin had  “accomplished her mission,” a reference to her midterm elections  bulls-eye target of politicians that included Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.  However, his Daily Kos website blog also included Gifford's district on a  list of congressional districts "bulls-eyed" for primary challenges.  And just last week, the website included a post declaring that Giffords  was “dead to him” after she voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the  House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(7) Exterminate Republicans&lt;/strong&gt;: This is  what passes for a theater review in the Village Voice: Michale Feingold,  while reviewing the play "King Cowboy Rufus Rules the Universe," wrote:  "Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of  them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen  work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings,  who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making;  Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don't  give a hoot about human beings, either can't or won't. Which is why I  personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more  harm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(8) Hang Drudge&lt;/strong&gt;: Liberal talk radio host  Mike Malloy suggested stringing up Internet king Matt Drudge, saying,  "Drudge? Aw, Drudge, somebody ought to wrap a strong Republican entrail  around his neck and hoist him up about 6 feet in the air and watch him  bounce.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(9) Outright assaults&lt;/strong&gt;: Sometimes the  hatred on the Left exceeds talk and escalates to violent assaults. Cases  in point: In August 2009, members of the Service Employees  International Union beat up Kenneth Gladney for distributing "Don't  Tread On Me" flags at a Missouri town hall meeting. In June 2010, Nathan  Tabor was punched in the face by a Democrat during a Tea Party protest  in North Carolina. Last October, Human Events reporter Emily Miller was  physically assaulted while interviewing Rep. Charlie Rangel during the  “One Nation Working Together” rally at the National Mall in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(10) Greenpeace "knows where you live"&lt;/strong&gt;:  Greenpeace advocated mass civil disobedience last April with this blog  item on its website:“The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass  civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and  skepticism. . . . If you're one of those who have spent their lives  undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science,  fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding  democratically elected governments into submission, then hear this: We  know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's a related article from &lt;a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html"&gt;Rush&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_011811/content/01125109.guest.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;The Left Creates a Climate of Hate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and more still,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marklevinshow.com/goout.asp?u=http://michellemalkin.com/2011/01/10/the-progressive-climate-of-hate-an-illustrated-primer-2000-2010/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Michelle Malkin&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-7910696891628149893?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/7910696891628149893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=7910696891628149893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/7910696891628149893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/7910696891628149893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-10-examples-of-liberal-hate.html' title='Top 10 Examples Of Liberal Hate'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-2799176308751135638</id><published>2011-01-20T09:48:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-20T09:49:56.109-05:00</updated><title type='text'>'nuff said.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TThLaYKgxdI/AAAAAAAAAnM/UoW-jINprVo/s1600/freedom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TThLaYKgxdI/AAAAAAAAAnM/UoW-jINprVo/s400/freedom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564280256151471570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-2799176308751135638?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/2799176308751135638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=2799176308751135638' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/2799176308751135638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/2799176308751135638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2011/01/nuff-said.html' title='&apos;nuff said.'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TThLaYKgxdI/AAAAAAAAAnM/UoW-jINprVo/s72-c/freedom.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-4676479898445365131</id><published>2011-01-06T18:12:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-06T18:13:38.520-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A World of Choices: If Hollywood Won’t Deliver, I Can Now Go Elsewhere</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Drinkin' with Bob goes Big...

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Radley Balko noted in yesterday's &lt;a href="http://reason.com/blog/2010/10/12/reason-morning-links-googles-w"&gt;Morning Links&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;Washington Post&lt;/em&gt; and other newspapers &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/08/AR2010100804947.html"&gt; pulled&lt;/a&gt; Wiley Miller's syndicated "&lt;a href="http://www.uclick.com/client/wpc/nq/"&gt;Non Sequitur&lt;/a&gt;" cartoon from their comics pages two Sundays back, because Miller pulled a &lt;a href="http://reason-contest.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html"&gt;familiar-to-&lt;em&gt;Reason&lt;/em&gt;-readers&lt;/a&gt; "where's Waldo?" &lt;a href="http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2010/10/03/"&gt;gag&lt;/a&gt; with the Prophet Muhammad, satirizing the new 21st century taboo on the depiction of even jokes about the fear of depicting a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Muhammad"&gt;historical figure who really existed&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;p&gt;As is typical of the genre, &lt;em&gt;Washington Post&lt;/em&gt; editors tried to play their own "where's Waldo" with the censorship process:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Style editor Ned Martel said he decided to yank it, after conferring with others, including Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli, because "it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message." He added that "the point of the joke was not immediately clear" and that readers might think that Muhammad was somewhere in the drawing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the &lt;em&gt;Post&lt;/em&gt;'s new standard for comics is to make jokes "immediately clear," then it might be time to kill the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artsandliving/comics/"&gt; comics page&lt;/a&gt; altogether. No, Martel/Brauchli, you pulled the cartoon because your fear of Muslims outweighs your commitment to free expression, period.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now comes &lt;em&gt;L.A. Times&lt;/em&gt; media critic James Rainey, who, even while &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/columnists/la-et-onthemedia-20101013,0,3182612.column"&gt; concluding&lt;/a&gt; that the cartoon should have run (the &lt;em&gt;L.A. Times&lt;/em&gt;, to no one's surprise, suppressed it), makes sure we understand that fear was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a factor, nosiree:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;That's not to agree with some commentators who have called the refusal to run the comic a cowardly retreat from radicals. I'd say the ax that fell on "Non Sequitur" had more to do expediency. Moving in a hurry, with many other decisions that seemed more pressing at the time, editors probably killed the item rather than face the possibility of a furor for a piece they honestly felt was not of high quality.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Uh-huh. This is really how these gut-checks work. A boundary-stretching case comes before you, and suddenly everyone's an art critic. (Rainey: "I didn't find the panel especially powerful or witty.") I'll never forget how many people reacted to the &lt;em&gt;fatwa&lt;/em&gt; against Salman Rushdie by saying that, the thing is, &lt;em&gt;Satanic Verses&lt;/em&gt; really &lt;em&gt;isn't&lt;/em&gt; a very good book, and it's understandable that Muslims would take offense, etc. Faced with the fear of being blamed for (or the target of) a mysterious cartoon dog whistle that sends 1 billion of the planet's humans into a homicide-bombing frenzy, editors bring to the table levels of scrutiny literally never used on the media in question. As is underlined by Rainey's own reporting:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;[&lt;em&gt;Boston Globe&lt;/em&gt;] Deputy managing editor Christine Chinlund said via e-mail: "When a cartoon takes on a sensitive subject, especially religion, it has an obligation to be clear. The 'Where's Muhammad' cartoon did not meet that test. It leaves the reader searching for clues, staring at a busy drawing, trying to discern a likeness, wondering if the outhouse at the top of the drawing is significant — in other words, perplexed."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Said Alice Short, an &lt;em&gt;L.A. Times&lt;/em&gt; assistant managing editor: "If they had produced a 'Non Sequitur' cartoon that said 'Where's Jesus?' I probably wouldn't have wanted to run that either."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is that the least believable media quote of 2010? Why yes, I think it is. This exchange at the end of the piece gets closer to the matter:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the Austin (Texas) &lt;em&gt;American-Statesman&lt;/em&gt; a senior editor named Drew Marcks told me when I asked about the cartoon, "I'd rather not talk about it."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I pressed. He hung up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Advice for my newspaper friends: Listen to &lt;a href="http://reason.com/blog/2010/06/26/why-mr-anti-bullshit-wont-call"&gt;Penn Jillette&lt;/a&gt;.

type='text'>Bar Stool Economics</title><content type='html'>Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and&lt;br /&gt;the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.&lt;br /&gt;The fifth would pay $1.&lt;br /&gt;The sixth would pay $3.&lt;br /&gt;The seventh would pay $7.&lt;br /&gt;The eighth would pay $12.&lt;br /&gt;The ninth would pay $18.&lt;br /&gt;The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, that's what they decided to do.&lt;br /&gt;The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed &lt;br /&gt;quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them acurve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.&lt;br /&gt;The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying&lt;br /&gt;customers? How could they&lt;br /&gt;divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his'fair share?'&lt;br /&gt;They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And so:&lt;br /&gt;The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(100% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).&lt;br /&gt;The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).&lt;br /&gt;The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant,&lt;br /&gt;the men began to compare their savings.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I got"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why should he get $10 back when&lt;br /&gt;I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks&lt;br /&gt;so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction.

that was Shot and Killed After Hostage Standoff at Discovery Channel Building had to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world  their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily  television programs at prime time slots  based on Daniel Quinn's "My  Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done  in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people  building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how  people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since  those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show  format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading  scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and  the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something  WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization  building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND  APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth  of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those  actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human  sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth  programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not  encouraging it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must  cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction  anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and  concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military  mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just  repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the  fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real  intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they  claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the  human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after  that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure  peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its  disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message  until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population  goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell  off the planet! Breathe Oil!  It is the moral obligation of everyone  living otherwise what good are they??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping  ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that.  Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop  solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR  these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the  US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted  pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND  THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding  the population growth of the Third World and those human families are  going to where the food is! They must stop procreating  new humans  looking for nonexistant jobs!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution,  International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human  economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution  which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find  solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in  order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food  production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about  Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid  people's brains until they get it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife  by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race  from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You're the media, you  can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so  many minds!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world  economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy  before they take the world to another nuclear war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on  TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the  people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather  than advertisements of Arms sales and development!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing.  All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more  war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and  are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and  breeding culture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into  farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100  YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE  FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on  by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy  practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas  their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth  is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a  thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a  couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in  this direction maybe other countries will too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of  the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other  creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed  to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that  humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world.  Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet  is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The  Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons,  Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humans? The planet does not need humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and  problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead  of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY  KNOW this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the  world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I  want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution  ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Roosevelt comforted the nation when he said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Harry Truman famously said, “The buck stops here.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And John F. Kennedy reminded Americans, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Needless to say, Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader  since November of 2006, has failed to live up to this proud heritage on a  &lt;em&gt;titanic &lt;/em&gt;scale.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Which is why, from The Home Office in Carson City, Nevada, &lt;em&gt;Silicon Graffiti&lt;/em&gt; is proud to present,  The Top Ten Harry Reid quotes!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 10: &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/07/01/video-harry-reid-says-energy-makes-him-sick/"&gt;Get this man a Claritin&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 9: &lt;a href="http://www.eddriscoll.com/archives/014434.php"&gt;The Peasants are Revolting&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 8, &lt;a href="http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/08/13/nineteen-minutes-in-a-car-with-harry-reid/"&gt;Beware&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204683204574356802422957272.html?mod=rss_opinion_main"&gt;Evil-mongers&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 7: &lt;a href="http://www.sundriesshack.com/2010/03/05/if-you-ask-harry-reid-its-practically-morning-in-america-again/"&gt;Jobs, Jobs, Jobs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 6: &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/82803-reid-men-when-theyre-out-of-work-tend-to-become-abusive"&gt;The Senator as psychiatrist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 5: &lt;a href="http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/56171937.html"&gt;Newspaper jobs saved or created&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 4: &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18227928/"&gt;Harry Supports the Troops&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 3: &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0909/Reid_Teddys_death_going_to_help_us.html"&gt;Beltway Babies Say Goodnight&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Number 2: &lt;a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/eddriscoll/2010/01/09/and-speaking-of-entoasted/"&gt;When Harry met Barry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And after that racial epithet, Harry doubles down!

While the anti-establishment Tea Party movement  has gained significant ground and is now a rising and powerful  political force to be reckoned with, many of the president’s own  supporters as well as independents are rapidly losing faith in Barack  Obama, with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2010/aug/10/robert-gibbs-crazy-liberal-critics-obama"&gt;open warfare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  breaking out between the White House and the left-wing of the  Democratic Party. While conservatism in America grows stronger by the  day, the forces of liberalism are growing increasingly weaker and  divided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Against this backdrop, the president’s approval ratings have been sliding dramatically all summer, with the latest &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll"&gt;Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll &lt;/a&gt;of  US voters dropping to minus 22 points, the lowest point so far for  Barack Obama since taking office. While just 24 per cent of American  voters strongly approve of the president’s job performance, almost twice  that number, 46 per cent, strongly disapprove. &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;According to Rasmussen&lt;/a&gt;, 65 per cent of voters believe the United States is going down the wrong track, including 70 per cent of independents.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html"&gt;RealClearPolitics average of polls &lt;/a&gt;now  has President Obama at over 50 per cent disapproval, a remarkably high  figure for a president just 18 months into his first term. Strikingly,  the latest &lt;a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html"&gt;USA Today/Gallup survey&lt;/a&gt; has the President on just 41 per cent approval, with 53 per cent disapproving.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100050002/the-obama-presidency-increasingly-resembles-a-modern-day-ancien-regime-extravagant-and-out-of-touch-with-ordinary-people/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related link: The Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancien Régime&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There are an array of reasons behind the stunning decline and  political fall of President Obama, chief among them fears over the  current state of the US economy, with widespread concern over high  levels of unemployment, the unstable housing market, and above all the  towering budget deficit. Americans are increasingly rejecting President  Obama’s big government solutions to America’s economic woes, which many  fear will lead to the United States sharing the same fate as Greece.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Growing disillusionment with the Obama administration’s handling of  the economy as well as health care and immigration has gone hand in hand  with mounting unhappiness with the President’s aloof and imperial style  of leadership, and a growing perception that he is out of touch with  ordinary Americans, especially at a time of significant economic pain.  Barack Obama’s striking absence of natural leadership ability (and  blatant lack of experience) has played a big part in undermining his  credibility with the US public, with his lacklustre handling of the Gulf  oil spill coming under particularly intense fire.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On the national security and foreign policy front, President Obama  has not fared any better. His leadership on the war in Afghanistan has  been confused and at times lacking in conviction, and seemingly dictated  by domestic political priorities rather than military and strategic  goals. His overall foreign policy has been an appalling mess, with his  flawed strategy of engagement of hostile regimes spectacularly  backfiring. And as for the War on Terror, his administration has not  even acknowledged it is fighting one.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Can it get any worse for President Obama? Undoubtedly yes. Here are  10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in serious trouble, and why  its prospects are unlikely to improve between now and the November  mid-terms.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100050002/the-obama-presidency-increasingly-resembles-a-modern-day-ancien-regime-extravagant-and-out-of-touch-with-ordinary-people/"&gt;a previous post&lt;/a&gt;  I noted how the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day  Ancien Régime, extravagant, decaying and out of touch with ordinary  Americans. The First Lady’s ill-conceived trip to Spain at a time of  widespread economic hardship was symbolic of a White House that barely  gives a second thought to public opinion on many issues, and frequently  projects a distinctly elitist image. The “let them eat cake” approach  didn’t play well over two centuries ago, and it won’t succeed today.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Most Americans don’t have confidence in the president’s leadership&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This deficit of trust in Obama’s leadership is central to his decline. According to a recent &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/12/AR2010071205453.html?hpid=topnews"&gt;Washington Post/ABC News poll,&lt;/a&gt;  “nearly six in ten voters say they lack faith in the president to make  the right decisions for the country”, and two thirds “say they are  disillusioned with or angry about the way the federal government is  working.” The poll showed that a staggering 58 per cent of Americans say  they do not have confidence in the president’s decision-making, with  just 42 per cent saying they do.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Obama fails to inspire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In contrast to the soaring rhetoric of his 2004 Convention speech in  Boston which succeeded in impressing millions of television viewers at  the time, America is no longer inspired by Barack Obama’s flat,  monotonous and often dull presidential speeches and statements delivered  via teleprompter. From his extraordinarily uninspiring &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100018536/barack-obama-is-no-churchill/"&gt;Afghanistan speech at West Point &lt;/a&gt;to his flat &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/7088623/Barack-Obama-State-of-the-Union-speech-text-in-full.html"&gt;State of the Union address&lt;/a&gt;, President Obama has failed to touch the heart of America. Even Jimmy Carter was more moving.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. The United States is drowning in debt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Congressional Budget Office &lt;a href="http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=11579"&gt;Long-Term Budget Outlook &lt;/a&gt;offers  a frightening picture of the scale of America’s national debt. Under  its alternative fiscal scenario, the CBO projects that US debt could  rise to 87 percent of GDP by 2020, 109 percent by 2025, and 185 percent  in 2035. While much of Europe, led by Britain and Germany, are  aggressively cutting their deficits, the Obama administration is  actively growing America’s debt, and has no plan in place to avert a  looming Greek-style financial crisis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Obama’s Big Government message is falling flat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The relentless emphasis on bailouts and stimulus spending has done  little to spur economic growth or create jobs, but has greatly advanced  the power of the federal government in America. This is not an approach  that is proving popular with the American public, and even most European  governments have long ditched this tax and spend approach to saving  their own economies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;6. Obama’s support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In an extraordinary act of political Harakiri, President Obama leant  his full support to the hugely controversial, unpopular and divisive  health care reform bill, with a monstrous price tag of $940 billion,  whose repeal &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/health_care_law"&gt;is now supported by 55 per cent of likely US voters&lt;/a&gt;. As &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100030793/a-dark-day-for-freedom-in-america/"&gt;I wrote at the time of its passing,&lt;/a&gt;  the legislation is “a great leap forward by the United States towards a  European-style vision of universal health care, which will only lead to  soaring costs, higher taxes, and a surge in red tape for small  businesses. This reckless legislation dramatically expands the power of  the state over the lives of individuals, and could not be further from  the vision of America’s founding fathers.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill has been weak-kneed and indecisive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;While much of the spilled oil in the Gulf has now been thankfully  cleared up, the political damage for the White House will be  long-lasting. Instead of showing real leadership on the matter by acing  decisively and drawing upon offers of international support, the Obama  administration settled on a more convenient strategy of relentlessly  bashing an Anglo-American company while largely sitting on its hands.  Significantly, &lt;a href="http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/06/fallout-from-spill.html"&gt;a poll of Louisiana voters&lt;/a&gt;  gave George W. Bush higher marks for his handling of the aftermath of  Hurricane Katrina, with 62 percent disapproving of Obama’s performance  on the Gulf oil spill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It is hard to think of a single foreign policy success for the Obama  administration, but there have been plenty of missteps which have  weakened American global power as well as the standing of the United  States. The surrender to Moscow on Third Site missile defence, the  failure to aggressively stand up to Iran’s nuclear programme, the  decision to side with ousted Marxists in Honduras, the slap in the face  for Great Britain over the Falklands, have all contributed to the image  of a US administration completely out of its depth in international  affairs. The Obama administration’s high risk strategy of appeasing  America’s enemies while kicking traditional US allies has only succeeded  in weakening the United States while strengthening her adversaries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the War on Terror, President  Obama’s leadership has often been muddled and confused. On Afghanistan  he rightly sent tens of thousands of additional troops to the  battlefield. At the same time however he bizarrely announced a timetable  for the withdrawal of US forces beginning in July 2011, handing the  initiative to the Taliban. On Iraq he has announced an end to combat  operations and the withdrawal of all but 50,000 troops despite a recent  upsurge in terrorist violence and political instability, and without the  Iraqi military and police ready to take over. In addition he has  ditched the concept of a War on Terror, replacing it with &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/24/AR2009032402818.html?hpid=topnews"&gt;an Overseas Contingency Operation&lt;/a&gt;, hardly the right message to send in the midst of a long-war against Al-Qaeda.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Barack Obama has made it clear that &lt;a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2009/apr/28/opinion/oe-kirchick28"&gt;he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism&lt;/a&gt;, and has made &lt;a href="http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2009/06/Barack-Obamas-Top-10-Apologies-How-the-President-Has-Humiliated-a-Superpower"&gt;apologising for his country&lt;/a&gt; into an art form. In &lt;a href="http://usun.state.gov/briefing/statements/2009/september/129519.htm"&gt;a speech to the United Nations last September&lt;/a&gt;  he stated that “no one nation can or should try to dominate another  nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over  another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold.” It  is difficult to see how a US president who holds these views and does  not even accept America’s greatness in history can actually lead the  world’s only superpower with force and conviction.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The most left-wing president in American history has tried to force a highly interventionist,  government-driven agenda that runs counter to the principles of free  enterprise, individual freedom, and limited government that have made  the United States the greatest power in the world, and the freest nation  on earth.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This, combined with weak leadership both at home and abroad against  the backdrop of tremendous economic uncertainty in an increasingly  dangerous world, has contributed to a spectacular political collapse for  a president once thought to be invincible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; America at its core remains a  deeply conservative nation, which cherishes its traditions and founding  principles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;President Obama is increasingly out of step with the  American people, by advancing policies that undermine the United States  as a global power, while undercutting America’s deep-seated love for  freedom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-5116676570167241176?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/5116676570167241176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=5116676570167241176' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/5116676570167241176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/5116676570167241176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2010/08/10-key-reasons-why-obama-presidency-is.html' title='10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TGSewJn7gJI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/_imFbanoyfk/s72-c/Mallard_Fillmore.20100812_small.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-7719103105965800309</id><published>2010-08-11T13:07:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-11T13:10:45.548-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NOBAMA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='It&apos;s time to take back America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOR SHAME'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='He Must Be Stopped'/><title type='text'>Public Housing</title><content type='html'>The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.  The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the  taxpayers.  Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes with the hard work necessary.  In fact, the opposite happens and the residents resent their benefactors because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves did not earn the right to live in the house.  They do not  appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any  way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result is the same whether you are talking about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless  antiques.  If the people who live there do not  feel they earned the privilege, they will make this known through their actions.

JUDGE  VAUGHN WALKER WHO WAS APPOINTED BY GEORGE BUSH SR, HAS STRUCK DOWN  CALIFORNIA’S PROPOSITION 8, WHICH SAID THAT MARRIAGE IS ONLY BETWEEN A  MAN AND A WOMAN.  IN A 138-PAGE DECISION, HE ASSAULTED AND INSULTED THE  VOTERS OF THIS STATE. THIS LITTLE CAESAR CLAIMED THAT PROPOSITION 8  PLACES THE FORCE OF LAW BEHIND STIGMAS AGAINST GAYS AND LESBIANS. THIS  LITTLE CAESAR CLAIMED THAT THE RIGHT TO MARRY PROTECTS AN INDIVIDUAL’S  CHOICE OF MARITAL PARTNER REGARDLESS OF GENDER. THIS LITTLE CAESAR  CLAIMED DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS DO NOT SATISFY CALIFORNIA’S OBLIGATION TO  ALLOW PLAINTIFFS TO MARRY. ALL OF THIS IS WRONG. BUT WHAT’S MORE  IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS THAT JUDGE VAUGHN WALKER HAS STOLEN THE VOTES OF 7  MILLION PEOPLE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW LITTLE CAESAR JUDGE WALKER, THIS HAPPENS TO  BE GAY. THIS IS A FACT THAT THE MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT TO YOU. AND HE  HAPPENS TO BE A RADICAL LEFTIST. IN 1999, HE REJECTED ARGUMENTS FROM THE  PARENTS OF A BOY WHO CLAIMED THEIR RELIGIOUS RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED BY  PRO-GAY COMMENTS THEIR SON'S TEACHER HAD MADE IN THE CLASSROOM. IN 2005,  HE SIDED WITH THE CITY OF OAKLAND AGAINST TWO EMPLOYEES WHO PLACED  FLIERS PROMOTING "NATURAL FAMILY, MARRIAGE AND FAMILY VALUES." THIS IN  NOT AN IMPARTIAL JUDGE. THIS IS AN DICTATOR IN BLACK ROBES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN  THE 1920S AND 30S, MUSSOLINI, THE FASCIST DICTATOR OF ITALY, SENT THUGS  IN BLACK SHIRTS OUT INTO THE STREETS TO BEAT UP ANYONE WHO MIGHT OPPOSE  HIS TYRANNICAL REGIME. MUSSOLINI USED BRUTALITY AND STOLE VOTES IN ORDER  TO GET INTO POWER. BUT NOT EVEN HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO STEAL 7 MILLION  VOTES TO ACHIEVE HIS ENDS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROPOSITION 8 WAS PASSED BY THE  VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA IN 2008. EVEN THOUGH THE STATE VOTED FOR OBAMA, ON  OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIANS SAID THAT MARRIAGE WAS JUST  BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. 7 MILLION CALIFORNIA VOTERS SAID THAT. AND  NOW, ONE BITTER, LITTLE CAESAR HAS VOTED TO THROW ALL THOSE VOTES OUT  THE WINDOW. SO THE QUESTION IS THIS – IS JUDGE VAUGHN WALKER 7 MILLION  TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ARE? ONE JUDGE HAS NULLIFIED THE VOTES OF  MILLIONS: IS THIS CONSTITUTIONAL? MICHAEL SAVAGE SAYS NO.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;a href="http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/index.php"&gt;&lt;img alt=""

The Dutch, experienced in the oil business, offered prompt help for oil  skimming booms and plans to create barriers to stop the oil from  infiltrating into wetland areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt;  Suspended  the Jones Act, as President Bush did after Katrina, to allow foreign  vessels into American waters to assist with recovery without having to  swap ships and transfer equipment onto American flagged vessels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt;  Suspended the Davis-Bacon  prevailing wage laws, as President Bush did after Katrina, to allow  rapid deployment of new workers to help with containment efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt;   Suspended FEMA contracting and bidding rules, as President Bush did  after Katrina, to allow a more rapid assignment of contracts to assist  with the recovery effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt;  Allowed coastal  governors to immediately begin dredging to create barrier islands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt;   Talked to BP's CEO to establish initial metrics for progress to gauge  BP's response so the federal government would have ascertainable metrics  to determine when federal intervention was needed.  Heck, he should  have talked to BP's CEO period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt;  Not imposed a  blanket deep water drilling moratorium, further crippling economies in  coastal communities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt;  Talked to experts about  how to fix the problem instead of trying to figure out whose "ass to  kick."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt;  Not waited to act lest he be seen as  owning the situation.  Guess what?  He owns it now so why is he still on  the golf course?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt;  Not have wasted time  trying to blame the accident on George Bush before diving in to take  responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.humanevents.com/"&gt;HUMAN EVENTS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-8307737898163597956?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/8307737898163597956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=8307737898163597956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/8307737898163597956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/8307737898163597956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2010/06/top-10-list-of-things-to-alleviate.html' title='Top 10 list of things to alleviate the disaster that Obama could have done but didn’t.'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-3594771423097381914</id><published>2010-06-17T21:40:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-17T22:20:36.877-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Liberal Nuts</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Have a tea party every day with delicious, &lt;a href="http://www.liberalnutcompany.com/index.html"&gt;Liberal Nut&lt;/a&gt; Jumbo Peanuts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TBrPnBbvSDI/AAAAAAAAAi8/iNetM7BwySU/s1600/homepageproduct.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TBrPnBbvSDI/AAAAAAAAAi8/iNetM7BwySU/s400/homepageproduct.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483923765583628338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.liberalnutcompany.com/index-1.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Liberal Nut Company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; offers delicious &lt;a href="http://www.liberalnutcompany.com/index-2.html"&gt;premium roasted peanuts&lt;/a&gt; served up in fun collectible bags that expose liberal politicians and intelligentsia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Different Characters (adding monthly)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Top 10 Liberal Nuts&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="style6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="style6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.)

The baller.&lt;/b&gt; Not only are we told that she’s “ambitious,  restless, [and] intellectually acute,” but, as Politico noted, she “even  shares the president’s love of a good, grinding pick-up basketball  game.” Say what? She enjoys a “grinding pick-up basketball game”? Well  now, that settles it then. Bust out the basketball trunks, throw on a  jersey, and move yourself straight to the front of the line for a  lifetime position on the most powerful court in the world! What could go  wrong? As an aside, can you even imagine Kagan “grinding” on the court?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. She’s one of&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;us.&lt;/b&gt; From the mouth of Barack, a Kagan  confirmation would be “more reflective of us as a people than ever  before.” And if by “reflective,” the president means that most Americans  go from Princeton to Oxford to Harvard to the University of Chicago…  then back to Harvard, well yes, Kagan’s mug should replace Lincoln’s on  the $5 bill because she’s so “reflective” of America. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.  Feminine products.&lt;/b&gt; At Harvard, Kagan &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703565804575238740862226702.html" target="_self"&gt;gained&lt;/a&gt; popularity by offering “free coffee outside  classrooms and free tampons in the women’s restrooms.” Surely, these  were exactly the type of qualities Thomas Jefferson sought when picking a  justice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. The tokens&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; Kagan herself tells us that  she strove to “bring people together,” specifically by hiring  conservative professors. Obama touts this as “openness to a broad array  of viewpoints.” Um, so let’s get this one straight. As the dean of one  of the nation’s most prominent law schools, she took steps to introduce  her students to different opinions and thus fulfill the mission of a  university? The left is asking us to pat her on the back for doing her  job? Okay, fine. Let’s buy her a meat-lovers pizza and call it even.  Besides, out of the 43 hires she authorized, only 3 were conservative.  Big deal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Born in the U.S.A.&lt;/b&gt; “Elena is the  granddaughter of immigrants,” Obama boasted of his pick, which is to say  that Kagan’s &lt;i&gt;parents’ parents&lt;/i&gt; immigrated to this country. And  that makes her special again how?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Triple Axel.&lt;/b&gt; Kagan,  we’re &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703565804575238740862226702.html" target="_self"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt;, improved “student life” at Harvard with a  “revamped student center, an upgraded gym and an ice-skating rink” that  also “doubled as a volleyball court.” Did I miss the memo, or is the  Supreme Court now the new training grounds for the 2012 Olympics?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.  Justice Pavarotti.&lt;/b&gt; Pete Williams of NBC News recently affirmed  Kagan as an “accomplished poker player [and] opera lover,” which, as we  know, are grounds for a swift confirmation, no?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Toilet  preference.&lt;/b&gt; Obama describes Kagan as a "trailblazing leader" for  being the first female solicitor general and the first female dean of  Harvard’s law school, as if we're supposed to judge her fidelity to the  Constitution because she happens to use the ladies room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;9.  Good news: Kagan ain’t deaf.&lt;/b&gt; Television legal analyst Lis Wiehl  gushed that the Supreme Court nominee ran Harvard Law with “grace” and  is an “avid listener.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. Kagan actually “welcomed the  military to campus.”&lt;/b&gt; So says White House shill Valerie Jarrett, even  though Kagan authored a memo bragging that she “reinstated”  the school's ban on the military in the Spring of 2005, but reluctantly  lifted the ban in the Fall of that same year, after the Department of  Defense threatened to “withhold all possible funds if the Law School  continued to bar the military” from Harvard.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-7948108706943374143?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/7948108706943374143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=7948108706943374143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/7948108706943374143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/7948108706943374143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2010/05/top-10-dumbest-defenses-of-elena-kagan.html' title='The Top 10 Dumbest Defenses of Elena Kagan'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-3028973792058716256</id><published>2010-05-31T13:10:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-02T01:14:48.553-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Formerly known as Decoration Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/TAXn_aikZHI/AAAAAAAAAic/tye_4aAeqlA/s1600/5312010-memorial-day-2010.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

from &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/23/road-radicalism-man-south-park-threats/"&gt;some dickhead&lt;/a&gt; at a &lt;a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=183&amp;amp;type=issue"&gt;radical Muslim&lt;/a&gt;

incident&lt;/a&gt; provides the latest example of how media conglomerates are still struggling to balance free speech with safety concerns and &lt;a href="http://thetoiletpaper.com/2010/04/ttp-for-crying-out-loud-south-park/"&gt;religious sensitivities&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt; I have a great idea on how to achieve balance. Grow a set and tell these extremists to fuck off! We have the 1st Amendment. Don't be afraid to use it!&lt;/span&gt; (while we still can).&lt;br /&gt;Comedy Central declined to comment on the latest incident, but the creators of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;South Park&lt;/span&gt;, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ixtNaqRpSqti8gDHGSyN8lXBhQjAD9F8P6I80"&gt;clearly disagreed&lt;/a&gt; with the channel's handling of the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"We’d be so hypocritical against our own thoughts if we&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;said ‘OK, well let’s not make fun of them because they might hurt us…" -Trey Parker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 208px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/S9G-hglTc5I/AAAAAAAAAh8/ACu-ajkqT-Y/s400/southparkAB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463357305868481426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They had applied a modicum of satirical self-censorship to the second &lt;a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/267116"&gt;episode&lt;/a&gt;, bleeping out mention of the prophet's name and covering his figure in a box marked ''censored''. But a &lt;a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878"&gt;statement&lt;/a&gt; posted on their website said that executives ''made a determination to alter the episode'' without their approval and that the usual wrap-up speech from one character did not mention Muhammad ''but it got bleeped too''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="285" width="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/76s-ww7tbig&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/76s-ww7tbig&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="285" width="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mainstream media has been largely silent on this issue of "Religious sensitivity at the point of a gun". It seems to me that when, say, Christian groups have merely organized protests or advertiser boycotts against media content they find offensive they've widely denounced as "chilling" free speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parker and Stone’s upcoming Broadway musical &lt;em&gt;The Book of Mormon&lt;/em&gt; hasn’t provoked any death threats, only an angry letter or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's an old clip in which Jackie and Dunlap discuss continued protests over a Danish newspaper's Mohammed cartoons, differences between Christianity and Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="285" width="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TSLuI4WYclY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TSLuI4WYclY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="285" width="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7180749059599783933-5502416414330845283?l=alspalais.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/feeds/5502416414330845283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7180749059599783933&amp;postID=5502416414330845283' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/5502416414330845283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7180749059599783933/posts/default/5502416414330845283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alspalais.blogspot.com/2010/04/commedy-central-caves-censors-cartoon.html' title='Commedy Central Caves, Censors Cartoon'/><author><name>alfred</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/SrKuMFAj3cI/AAAAAAAAAZI/p4AZP5MK8Yc/S220/GN0307.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/S9HAoiXsDpI/AAAAAAAAAiE/vOIOb8LR7Ac/s72-c/southpark_bear_600504gm-a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-2624239750000789262</id><published>2010-04-22T14:19:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T14:21:59.375-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Earth Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hH1xF-Nw4B8/S9HkxmDSDEI/AAAAAAAAAiM/tvSbOdkugQw/s1600/Mallard_Fillmore.20100421_small.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

Squealer manipulates the language to excuse, justify, and extol all of &lt;a href="http://www.moonbattery.com/ObamaPig.jpg"&gt;Napoleon&lt;/a&gt;'s actions. Squealer limits debate by complicating it and he confuses and disorients, making claims that the pigs need the extra luxury they are taking in order to function properly, for example. However, when questions persist, he usually uses the threat of the return of Mr Jones, the former owner of the farm, to justify the pigs' privileges. Squealer uses statistics to convince the animals that life is getting better and better. Most of the animals have only dim memories of life before the revolution; therefore, they are convinced.
