Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace o Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the chickens come home to roast... Unbelievable we have been this stupid. ( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely
As the Liberal/Progressive Media and Blogosphere Attempt To Destroy Governor Chris Christie...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth As the liberal/progressive media and bloggers attempt to trash Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey over the George Washington Bridge lane closings, ostensibly because he is a formidable threat to their darling would be 2016 democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, there remains NO EVIDENCE he had any involvement or was aware of the actions by his underlings. If Governor Christie indeed had no involvement in the closings, and at this point is is prudent to assume he didn't, the valid question is... should he have known? If we believe an executive sets the tone and culture for his administration then indeed the actions of his loyal staff at least become somewhat understandable. Wrong, but understandable. From NorthJersey.com Nothing in the approximately 2,000 documents released on Friday by the Assembly committee investigating the matter suggest that Christie knew of the lane-closure scheme beforeh
Race Baiting at the Highest Level of the Federal Government...?
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny I listened to the full Presidential news conference this afternoon. Obama said some things that made sense. Then he made the following remarks that IMNHO told the nation in full agenda with respect to said issue. Having a in depth discussion of race relations might very well be appropriate and a general discussion is something that MOST American's would welcome. Using the Zimmerman verdict ks simply the WRONG event at possibly the right time. However, don't expect the President, the Department of Justice, or the liberal media or ultra liberal populace to understand what this means. If I can find a video of the full and complete news conference it will be posted later. Via: Memeorandum Update : via You Tube. Your views and thoughts are most welcome. Left and or Right leaning...

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli
More Thoughts On Reasonable Firearm Control...
by: Les Carprnter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy in which 20 innocent children lost their live to a sick and mentally unstable individual the subject of gun control has remained center stage. This is understandable, and as it should be. The pursuit of finding improved methods to better identify unstable individuals and thereby keep firearms out of the hands of such individuals is a worthy pursuit. As we consider how to deal with increasing societal violence we must find a happy medium that will both improve public safety and preserve our second amendment rights. It can be done, if both sides of the gun control debate will start listening to each other rather talking A T each other. We have heard from the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, who has offered essentially the same solution as the organization did in 2007. Put armed police guards in every school in America. Not anything most suburban and rural Mom's and Dad's will b
The ObamaCare Divide Creating Two America's...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Red and blue state map, based on returns in last four presidential elections. (Wikimedia Commons/ Angr) This site is not a supporter of the mechanisms of ObamaCare and questions whether it in fact will ultimately make health care either more accessible r affordable. Except for those receiving a subsidy or are getting it free. All that aside I do agree with following Moyers & Company article stating that ObamaCare is widening the gap between red America and blue America. Something needed to be done with our health care and insurance system. Most agree that the pre ObamaCare system needed some work. Unfortunately reason failed American politics and what we have achieved is an ever more polorized country with no end to the polarization. Perhaps it is time to officially form a Blue United States of America and a Red United States of America. Because in reality we are moving ever closer to the breaking point. Th
Obama the Socialist, or Is He? Listen to the Voice of One Who Knows...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny at the 44th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Every so often we have our views called into check. Whenever this happens the wise person considers the perspective, as well as the experiences of the person calling the entrenched views into check. In doing so one learns and therefor grows. At least that is how it should work. Milos Forman , the immigrant from Czechoslovakia who later won Academy Awards for best director for the films “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Amadeus”, provides just such a check for America. He clearly, and accurately describes American politicians misunderstanding of totalitarianism and western European democratic socialism in his July 10th op-ed piece in the New York Times . He ends the article with a very poignant warning. Mr. Obama, and politicians of both major parties, as well as every American citizens ought to consider his words... and warning. The New York Times - WHEN
Humor in Truth...
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Eleven days into 2016 and still recovering from the hustle and bustle of the preceding year end holidays I was looking for something to get me back to normal and give me a great belly splitting laugh. But that laugh needed to be a laugh caused by something that was funny because of the great truths it held. Today that great belly splitting laugh happened. June 28, 2015 Jeff Landry, an aide to Donald Trump, scratched the back of his right leg with his left shoe, stalling. You have to answer just right , or he goes apeshit . Jeff remembered grimly what a pleasant change he’d thought this job would be, but now he looked back on those six harrowing weeks working for Harvey Weinstein like a long-ago Hanukkah. The question Trump had put to him was “How do we close this?” Jeff played it safe: “I say go big.” Trump lit up. “I can do big,” he said. “This whole thing, which was my idea, incidentally, and a very good idea, really a very gr

DeletePlease go back to the Daddy blog and spread your ignorance there
The above comment was stolen from my blog. It was my comment. APP is a stupid troll who was born in the petri dish of the Daddy blog.
DeleteWhy thank you very much JBG. Coming from you that is a platinum compliment.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that you escaped from the Stench Trench, aka The Smut Hut and took the time to stop by. Give my best to inmates when you return.
Buh Bye...

DeleteWhatever. The lounge for idle pointless chatter Can be found over at lisa's place.
DeleteMitch McConnell has admitted that Donald Trump knows very little about the serious issues facing this country, and he has said Trump needs to choose a veep who's smarter than Trump. Really. That's the majority leader of the US Senate telling America that Trump is unqualified to be president. He also said Trump should use the teleprompter more often so that he doesn't say things that get him in trouble. IOW, so that a prepared speech by someone else masks what a foul-minded demagogic know-nothing Trump truly is.
ReplyDeleteThe two former Bush presidents as well as Mitt Romney and other conservative political luminaries who believe in principles and not just party loyalty will not be voting for Trump. It is shameful that the majority leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the House haven't the courage of other principled conservatives.
When you have the bigots, misogynists, anti-Semites, pornorgraphers and low-lifes from the Stench Trench vigorously supporting Trump, it confirms our opinion of what a repulsive reptile Trump truly is.
The chump will never become head of ST8 or make America GRR8. H8 has sealed his F8. Too L8. He'll never get another D8. How many legs does a cephalopod have?
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump's lack of familiarity and understanding of the issues facing the nation is troubling to say the least. Combined with his xenophobia, extreme nationalism, apparent lack of regard for the rule of law, and what appears to be a tendency towards white supremacy he is indeed unfit to be the president of the United States of America, IMNHO.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, he is not stupid (neither were Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Peron, etc.), just very misguided. Because it is possible Trump could be elected we should all hope he picks a very knowledgeable veep and surrounds himself with smart people that will not be afraid to criticize him when he needs. Which, as we know, is likely to be quite often.
There are I am sure many good decent folks supporting Trump. While I personally cannot understand why, given the abundance of data that leads me to believe he is unqualified for the presidency, many others think differently.
Some folks at lisa's Lunacy Lounge are simply what they are. And we both know what that is.
Ha. Lunacy Lounge? So far the Daddy blog has a number of alternate names: "The Stench Trench," "The Smut Hut," "The Skank Tank," "The Sh*t Pit," and now the "Lisa's Lunacy Lounge." And two escapees from Lisa's Lunacy Lounge are stinking up the place.
DeleteAs much as the folks at the Lunacy Lounge claim they want to discuss issues they don't. Unless those who actually understand what discussion is AGREE . If with their line or reasoning. If you don't agree you are labeled a commie.
DeleteHaving said the above, there are liberal sites guilty of the same type MO.
I'll slow a certain level of stinking the place up here. A low level.
Good One (O)CT(O)PUS! :-)

ReplyDeleteA brilliant display of the intellect of the rabid Trumpian supporters.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for dropping by MC.
DeleteRN... Why are some people, like MC, and people on the felt also, unable, or unwilling to talk cogently about the complex issues we face today?
ReplyDeleteInstead we get hyperbole, swearing and word salad thoughts.
I don't know Dave. Lack of curiosity? Lack of depth? Perfectly happy in their comfort zone? Uncomfortable with new information? They are sheeple following along happily? All of the above?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing many are intelligent people who are simply locked in their old paradigms and feel threatened whenever their positions are called into question.
