Dearest Casey, Brandon, Ray Gun, Anon 2, Various and Assorted Anonymouses, and all my other devoted Pen Pals:
Tomorrow I head off on a two-week cruise from LA to the glorious Hawaiian Islands.
I know how concerned Casey has been in the past when I drop out for a few days, and I greatly appreciate Casey's concern.
So, please let me re-assure you all that I am perfectly fine --- just cruising on a Summer (almost) Afternoon.
I'll try to chime in with a few comments from time to time, while At Sea.
Meanwhile, I hope you will all keep the faith, and continue with your frank exchange of opinions.
"Frank Exchange of Opinions" is a phrase which emerged at the United Nations during the height of the Cold War when the USA and the USSR threatened to nuke each other. "A Frank Exchange of Opinions" was considered the final phase just before "Mutually Assured Destruction".
Good Luck, Everybody. Keep Up The Good Fight.

Have a great time, CJP! We'll miss you!
I'll miss you, too, Casey. I love the good old Give and Take.
Happy sailin' CJP!!
Don't know where else to put the article below. As one can see its about the CONS dirty politics.

After Hobnobbing With Bankers, McConnell Attacks Wall Street Reform
"In February, the Wall Street Journal reported that Republicans were "stepping up their campaign to win donations from Wall Street. In discussions with Wall Street executives, Republicans are striving to make the case that they are banks' best hope of preventing President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats from cracking down on Wall Street."
Two months later, it seems the GOP is relying on the same strategy. In return for obstructing Democratic legislation to hold Wall Street CEOs accountable, Republican lawmakers are pressing bankers for financial help heading into the November elections.
FoxBusiness.com reported that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn (R-TX) had a "private meeting" with "25 Wall Street executives, many of them hedge fund managers." After listening to "numerous complaints the executives have with the bill," the GOP lawmakers reportedly assured the bankers that Republicans would be their ally in the fight. After discussing likely Republican electoral gains this November, "McConnell and Cornyn made it clear they need Wall Street's help."
A day after the story broke about McConnell's "private meeting" with Wall Street bigwigs, he stormed onto the Senate floor to spout false attacks on Democratic efforts to hold those bankers accountable. The timing was no coincidence.
Republicans are brazenly playing politics by putting the needs of big banks and credit card companies above struggling American families. Now is the time to hold Wall Street accountable for causing the worst recession in a generation.
True financial regulatory reform would restore fairness to America's banking system, get rid of confusing fine print, and hold Wall Street's bad actors accountable for getting us into this mess."
Sorry CJP for having spoiled your fun thread.
"CONS dirty politics."---Anon2
Blah, blah, blah...How is this "dirty politics"? Trying to get donations and support---this is how it is done. I will tell you what "dirty politics" is---how about making deals for votes, as on the healthcare bill. Now THAT is dirty politics. Backroom deals and downright blackmail (as in turning back on the water for Central Calif farmers in exchange for a vote in favor)that is dirty.
As for the Wall Street banker support?
Explain to me why Obama has so many of these people in his Administration and on his advorory committees.
How about Tim Geithner! Where do you think HE came from?
Soliciting support is not the same thing as putting these people in positions of power---essentially REWARDING them for their role in the mess!
For Demos blaming conservatives for SS Failures think again:
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!
------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
The worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it and believe that the Democats are "for the people."
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
You are so right! These Progressives have no clue. They live with their heads in the clouds. They refuse to hear or find out the facts for themselves, and would rather take the opinions of others as their "truth". (the reason that so much of their "evidence" turns out to be opinion pieces written by people that get posted on Huffington)
Instead of forming their opinions based on FACTS, they work backward and look for only the parts that support their already formed opinions, disregarding the rest. Things that don't fit their views are discounted. Facts are not responded to, and when they are, they are called "lies".
It is a unique filtering system.
I stick with it because I am intrigued by it. I have not seen anything like it.
-Cause of the recession-
"Exactly, RG. It's the lack of legislation -- the lack of regulation"
-CJP
The conservatives didnt pass any legislation it must be only their fault? What about the liberals?
Nice post Anonymous! To bad the liberals refuse to accept facts into their minds.
Anyone for coco puffs? you are all nuts
Hehe. Mitch McConnell, the starched out faced minority leader flip flopped and will work together with the Dems to create regulations for Wall Street.
Of course he changed course because 72% of the polled people favor Wall Street Regulations.
The Con must have been thinking about the November Elections.

Where did you go Raygun? Why wont you own up to your blame? Why wont you admit that the liberals failed America by allowing the recession?
Raygun-
When are my taxes going to go down? Obama is going on year two and I have only see increases in spending and ZERO cuts in my taxes. Lets not forget the liberals raising my state taxes!
We now know who Americas terrorists and racists are, they are the liberals possing as tea party members in their attempt to discredit the tea party movement. Just like normal, the liberals cant argue the common sense coming from the tea party movement so they LIE!!!
"Just like normal, the liberals cant argue the common sense coming from the tea party movement so they LIE!!!"---Brandon
One of the things that I have noticed---more so lately. They have a moving moral compass...Or "the ends justify the means" mentality. They can't fight or debate on common ground, so they resort to these immoral tactics. The name calling, the "infiltration of the TeaParty Movement", the slander and the violence (yes. I said violence, because the only violence at teaparty gatherings so far has been from the left)
They want to shut them up. They would love to take their right to speak out away. However, they were screaming during the Bush years about "censorship" and their "right to speak out" Remember that? At that time, they called themselves "patriots" for speaking out and demonstrating against the Bush Admin. Now that the table is turned, it becomes "dangerous" and "unAmerican", the protestors are "Nazis". Moving moral compass. unbelievable!
Cons are Nazi's? Read what a Cardinal says.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/20/cardinal-mahoney-nazism-i_n_544892.html
Excerpts:
Cardinal Mahoney: Nazism In Arizona Immigration Bill
"LOS ANGELES — The head of the nation's largest Roman Catholic archdiocese has condemned a proposed Arizona crackdown on illegal immigrants, saying it encourages people to turn on each other in Nazi- and Soviet-style repression."
"But Mahony, whose archdiocese has a huge Hispanic immigrant population, said the Arizona Legislature was passing "the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited, and useless anti-immigrant law."
""I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation," the cardinal said. "Are children supposed to call 911 because one parent does not have proper papers? Are family members and neighbors now supposed to spy on one another, create total distrust across neighborhoods and communities, and report people because of suspicions based upon appearance?"
Anon2: You need to look into who and what you quote, before you actually do it. Try this:
"The U.S. attorney in Los Angeles has launched a federal grand jury investigation into Cardinal Roger M. Mahony in connection with his response to the molestation of children by priests in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, according to two law enforcement sources familiar with the case.
As the Catholic Church's highest-ranking official in Southern California, Mahony has been dogged for years by allegations of covering up the sexual misconduct of priests."
*January 29, 2009 Los Angeles Times
He finally made a financial settlement to avoid going to trial.
Great. Any other great guys you want to quote?
Now, I am not going to pass judgment on this bill because I haven't actually read it yet. Have you, Anon2? Didn't think so.
However having been a resident of Arizona until not too long ago I can tell you first hand that the illegal immigrant problem has become a serious issue. (and don't call me a racist, because nothing could be further from the truth! I have hispanics in my family, and I love the culture and the people. My heart breaks for these people that want to come here!)
BUT, I have watched as the gang problem has grown, the drug problem---Heroin and Meth---has gotten to the elementary school level, and the crime rate has skyrocketed to where Phoenix is now 5th in the nation for crime. I believe in a guest worker program, but we have to know who is coming here, because quite frankly many that come up are gang members and criminals. The human trafficking in illigals have made them slaves to the coyotes that bring them up. They have been left to die in the back of locked trucks, raped, beaten and killed. They are exploited and used and mistreated, and their illegal statis makes them the perfect victims.
It is very obvious that you know very little about this issue and the very serious and tragic consequences it has had on all involved.
You ASS-ume what I'm thinking? Duh!
You're dead wrong caseyboy.
Arizona passed a law that is unconstitutional. Read up on it instead of attacking the writer.
Personally, I am dead set against illegal immigrants. One should apply to enter any country in a lawful way. Once caught they should be deported. But what about if they have kids that were born in the US? That's the big dilemma.
The illegals are human beings and perhaps many forget about that.
The ones that employ the illegals should be penalized so severely that they won't hire them anymore, not just a slap on the wrist. Then there is the fact that Americans love the lower prices due to exploitation of the illegals and therefore contribute to the problem.
PS: Has anyone thought about the natives who saw their country overrun by ILLEGALS who claimed the country as theirs and in turn massacred the natives out of *gratitude*?
"The illegals are human beings and perhaps many forget about that."---Anon2
I don't believe that I was assuming what you were thinking...I don't even want to go there.
Yes, they are human beings and I believe that I mentioned that my heart breaks for them, because I have seen some of the living conditions that these people have come from. I happen to have a sister in law that is illegal, and I am certainly concerned about the effect that this will have on her. She is a sweet person.
However, here is the problem and why I believe that a guest worker program is in order.
These people come up here and because they are illegal, they are mistreated and exploited at every turn. Sadly, it is not just the white people who are doing the exploitation, it is the Mexican legals that do it in most cases. Knowing that these people have no recourse, is an open invitation for them to be taken advantage of.
There is no simple solution to the problem and yes, the employers need to be held accountable. A guest worker program would help that.
I am sure that you are also making reference to your own country when you speak of the indigenous peoples being overrun by Europeans, right?
That was a very long time ago, and we are not the same unsophisticated people with the same mindset that they had back then. You and I would not dream of doing the things that were done back in those days. To equate it to todays world is just silly.

How is it unconstitutional? Why not make the penalty for hiring illegals, revoking their buisness licence?

"Arizona passed a law that is unconstitutional"---Anon2
The Bill that was passed was NOT unconstitutional, it just gives the local police the power to enforce the law that is already on the books. The feds aren't doing it.
5th in the nation for crime
2nd in the world for kidnappings
1st in the nation for carjackings
1st in the nation for identity theft
1st in the nation for home invasions
That is now Arizona. Yet INS doesn't even show up.
Several years ago I was involved in a car accident where the girl that changed lanes into me was only 14, had no license, no registration, and naturally no insurance. She was here illegally, and the police came out. I was injured. The police could do nothing. They called INS, but INS refused to come out and take this girl into custody. She was let go. A citizen of the US would have been arrested under those circumstances, yet she went about her life with no consequences because she was here illegally and the Feds refused to enforce the laws.
You think that makes our auto insurance premiums go up?
Under this new Bill, the local police would have the power to detain someone like that.
The boarders need to be secured. Employers need to be held accountable, a guest worker program needs to be implemented, and the US needs to know who it is that is already here.
It is interesting to note that these demonstrators are throwing bottles at police and vandelizing businesses and personal property, yet it is the TeaParty people that are being called "dangerous".
More hope and change–
"A damning health care report generated by actuaries at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department was given to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the health care vote. She hid the report from the public until a month after democrats rammed their nationalized health care bill through Congress.
The report released by Medicare and Medicaid actuaries shows that medical costs will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose their employer-based coverage. Millions of Americans will be left without insurance. And, millions more may be dumped into the already overwhelmed Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax penalties under this new law.
Hey, this sounds GREAT! And to supress it until AFTER the bill passed? Well, the "transparency" of this administration is impressive! I can't wait. We only have another 3 years of this crap!

The higher courts will decide whether it's constitutional or not. I'm sure that a lawsuit will come out of it. Federal or States cannot do each others jobs.
Read what the local police infringes upon.....

"ZERO cuts in my taxes. "
You as a con forgot rapidly about the tax rebate cheque that Obama gave to everyone last year. You're plain lying now and in the vast majority of your posts that aren't even worth answering to. lol
"You as a con forgot rapidly about the tax rebate cheque that Obama gave to everyone last year"---Anon2
HaHaHa! That's funny...What check? I don't know a single soul that got a "tax rebate check" from the Obama Administration! There were none. They didn't exist. Are you referring to the "tax cut" where we got to keep a whole $8.00 per paycheck MORE? Oh we just need to use that to pay for that new additional tax on gas, and everything else that they are adding new taxes to. Of course that $8.00 won't come NEAR to touching the new taxes, but who cares, right?
Anon2, if you knew what you were talking about you would be dangerous---but you are far more entertaining as you are!
Hey Brandon! Did you get a "tax rebate check" from Obama this year? Anon2 seems to think that we did...I just stopped laughing!
What did you do with your extra $4.00-$8.00 on your paycheck? Did you go out and buy BIG THINGS?
I am self employed so I didn't get jack, but maybe you went out and bought a new car, or boat? (I'm talking matchbox car, or toy boat--certainly not a REAL one with that big haul of a tax cut!)

-Anon2
Your so full of shit! I the only tax rebate I recieved was from Bush for a few hundred dollars. If you refering to the adjustments to my federal withholding from my paycheck, your miss led! My tax bill was the same at the end of the year and I simply got a smaller refund. Stop believing everything Obama and friends tell you and open your eyes. Government spending is increasing and taxes must increase to pay for it, thus EVERYONE will have to pay more.
I guess it is to difficult for you to answer my posts since you dont have a clue to what going on around you!
What did you do with your extra $4.00-$8.00 on your paycheck?"
-Casey
I didnt spend it on anything, I had to save it so I could pay my taxes at the end of the year. My tax bill at the end of the year was still the same. This is just the liberals moving numbers around and lying to the American people.
You are so right, Brandon. Now they are talking about a VAT tax ("it's on the table") and many, many additional taxes.
I don't know where Anon2 got that misinformation. She drinks the Kool Aide for sure.
But don't you remember, Brandon? Obama said that we should be "thanking him". It's a shell game that they are playing. They think that we are too stupid to notice.
I know some lower income people that had to pay at the end of the year this year. They got to keep that extra $8.00 on their paychecks, but as you said, the amount owed at the end of the year was the same, so not enough had been withheld. For the very first time in their lives these people owed at the end of the year, or their refund was GREATLY decreased.
What's the matter Anon2? Can't find a Huffington Post article to base an argument on?
I have an idea...Why not just look into the specific issue on your own? It isn't hard, but then again it does require you to form an opinion of your own based on FACTS. I know...Tricky stuff. A good way to start is to read BOTH SIDES of the issue, and then...(this is where it gets a bit tricky) Think for yourself!
Sounds crazy like Nazi behavior who used to treat other human beings like animals. Of course the idea is made up by a Con. Whomever want to be associated with Cons is plain crazy.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/27/pat-bertroche-iowa-congre_n_554073.html
"Illegal immigrants: can't live with them, can't put them on leashes, like human chattel. But at least one Republican candidate for the 3rd District Congressional primary in Iowa, birthplace of presidential primaries, wants to do something about this dilemma. By which I mean to say he wants to implant microchip tracking devices inside illegal aliens, because why not, right? Then we can all keep tabs on them with our android phones!
While speaking at a Tama County Republican forum, [GOP Primary contender Pat] Bertroche made it clear that he wasn't joking when he suggested treating undocumented immigrants like pets.
From the Cedar Rapids Gazette:
"I think we should catch 'em, we should document 'em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going," said Pat Bertroche, an Urbandale physician. "I actually support microchipping them. I can microchip my dog so I can find it. Why can't I microchip an illegal?
I don't know! Why can't you? Why can't you train your Pomeranian to pick seasonal fruits and vegetables, and staff Mitt Romney's Sanctuary Mansions?
Bertroche went on, "That's not a popular thing to say, but it's a lot cheaper than building a fence they can tunnel under." Oh, sure. Catching and chipping hundreds of thousands of people sounds unbelievably cost-effective, and not at all that sort of thing that a big, intrusive goverment would do."

Excerpt:
"Certain moments in our nation's history have consistently opened the door for the least civil voices to enact evil through civil policy: think the institution of race-based U.S. slavery, the Indian removals, Jim Crow laws, legalized segregation, the federal protection of lynching mobs, and, don't forget, the Japanese internment camps, among others. In each case, hard economic times led otherwise sane people to unleash insane injustice under the guise of public policy.
There's something about hard-knock times that consistently opens civil minds to uncivilized acts. When those minds hold the power of the policy pen, then personal malice becomes government-sponsored acts of terror against its own citizens.
This time it is the good, economically recessed, fear-ravaged people of Arizona who have elevated bottom-dwellers to the place of law-makers. They actually handed a registered hate group, FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform), the pen and asked them to help write Arizona's anti-immigrant law, SB1070, which requires police officers to ask for "papers" from anyone they "suspect" might be an illegal immigrant. If they cannot prove their legal residence, they will be thrown in jail. This Machiavellian law places the U.S. in company with Apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, and the Antebellum South, each of which demanded the presentation of "papers" demonstrating the individual from the minority group was allowed to be in certain areas of town.
On April 23, Governor Jan Brewer took her policy-making pen and placed her government-issued stamp of approval on SB1070, signing it into law.
The first victim fell before the bill was signed. The victim, Abdon, a Latino trucker, was pulled over and asked for his "papers." When he didn't have his birth certificate on his person, he was jailed. His wife was called and told to bring his birth certificate to the jail to arrange his release. Abdon is a United States citizen born in Fresno, California."
Increase of population in Arizona from 2005 to 2008.
Violent crime has gone down during that period. So has property crime.
Google for the exact number and percentages.
Therefore, the Repugnicans had no reason to sign that bill of overt blatant racism.
Oh Anon2. You are so dramatic. There are several problems with your little story.
Lets begin by saying that as a Jew, I resent the constant comparison to Nazi Germany. To put this in the same catagory is to trivialize the suffering of Jews during the time of the Holocaust. Knock it off, because it is beginning to get offensive.
Next: If this really happened, we would be hearing about it for sure.
Next: If you look at the rules and regs of being a legal immigrant to this country, you will find that you are required to have your green card, or "papers" as you people like to call it, on you at all times.
Next---and more importantly, this is where this story becomes total bullshit: if Abdon (a Hebrew name)is a truckdriver, was DRIVING his truck at the time that he was "pulled over", shouldn't he have had his CDL License on him? Maybe he should have been put in jail for driving a TRUCK without a license.
Lastly: This law has not even taken effect yet!
I am still laughing about your stupid story. More bullshit from the left. Only a moron would fall for this one.
Anon2, you are freaking nuts!
Look at the statistics. There is an increase, This is now 2010, and Phoenix is now the 5th in the nation for crime. Tuscon crime rate has DOUBLED. New York has the HIGHEST rate, but the violent crime rate and murder rate in Arizona is HIGHER than that of New York--and higher than California. I LIVED THERE, REMEMBER? UNTIL 2007
I SAW the crime rate go up. It became unsafe to have your windows open. The nightly news would warn of not sleeping with your windows open. Yes. It was a slice of Heaven living there.
I don't really know what your point is in all of this, but between your bogus story of Adnon, and now these twisted statistics, I have to wonder...is there something weird in the water up there in Canada?
What, may I ask would be YOUR solution to the problem? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Caseyboy, you only listen to Fox. lol
Watch unbiased news on CNN now and then for a while, that's where I got the info about crime rates went down in Arizona while the population increased a lot for the mentioned 3 years.
Get a grip on yourself. I read your posts and they're so unreal, you must be living in lalaland and completely out of touch.
Nice environment for a preteen to grow up in. Duh!!
I just gave you the website for the real national statistics. I don't know what you saw on CNN, but you told me to Google it and I did. Were you being less than honest about the Google thing, Anon2?
"Nice environment for a preteen to grow up in. Duh!!"---Anon2
What the Hell? I know that you think that you were slamming me on that one, but seriously, what did it mean?
Oh Anon2, you're just all butt hurt because I didn't fall for the Abdon story. I'm sorry. Was I too rough on you?
"Lastly: This law has not even taken effect yet!
I am still laughing about your stupid story. More bullshit from the left. Only a moron would fall for this one."
-Casey
I was under the impression the law didnt go into effect until July or some date in the near furture. So where do you suppose Anon2 is getting his facts? Must be a bias station that is only concerned in promoting the liberals garbage!

Where are the tax cuts? You failed to address my previos post on this topic! Incase you forgot:

I don't know WHERE Anon2 got that stupid story, however you notice that when she was challenged, she never responded!
Did you read that story, Brandon? Seriously, you would have to be a moron to believe it. Personally, I enjoyed the Hebrew name of Abdon. The name is not even Biblical---but it IS Hebrew. Nice touch. No mention of why this guy was driving ANY vehicle without a license on him! (I think that law requires a state ID---not birth certificate.)
The best part is---this law is not even in effect yet! Put somehow, these people do not even THINK about what they read. Huffington Post? Media Matters? Must be true!
Should explain why the world is in the mess that it is in.
Wasn't it Marx that had a term for it? "useful idiots"?
By the way---did you see that story splashed on the national news stations? Don't you think SOMEONE would have picked it up had it really happened? Pleeeeze!
"did you see that story splashed on the national news stations?"

I hadnt heard the story anywhere else but here. Anon2 need to try doing some fact checking or at least use her brain?
Anon2 is a woman?
"Anon2 is a woman?"---Brandon
Yes, she is. In addition---I don't know if you saw it----but she claims that she saw on CNN that the crime rate in Arizona has gone DOWN in the past 5 years! THAT ONE was pretty funny too! Instead of fact checking, and going to the FBI website that I provided, I think she got pissed off at me and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about!
There are tons of websites with the stats on this, and CLEARLY the violent crime rate in the state of Arizona is the HIGHEST in the nation, beating out NY and CA. The kidnapping rate is 2nd in the world.
Yeah. I am STILL waiting to hear about poor Abdon and his imaginary plight!
BTW---how do you explain this one?
Violence broke out on May 1 during several demonstrations over the new Arizona law. Police attacked with bottles and windows of businesses broken, etc. BUT WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DANGEROUS TEA PARTY PEOPLE. THOSE OLD PEOPLE WAVING FLAGS ARE REALLY SCARY!!!!
"BUT WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DANGEROUS TEA PARTY PEOPLE. THOSE OLD PEOPLE WAVING FLAGS ARE REALLY SCARY!!!!"

What a bunch of losers!
I know...Don't they realize that we aren't going to fall for this stuff anymore? The Alinsky tactics aren't going to work on us because we now know what they are. The race card, the name calling, the discrediting.
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule."
"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it."
"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."
"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008."-- --Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky
