This women has been out of touch with reality for so long even I am beginning to feel sorry for her. Not that it will happen mind you. I'm just sayin...


HuffPo - WASHINGTON -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is playing politics with its vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, an action she said that even she didn't seek as House Speaker when she thought someone was legitimately deserving of it.

"I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day," Pelosi said to laughter, during a sit-down with reporters. "I'm not kidding. There's a prison here in the Capitol ... If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him."

Rove was senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2007.

Asked on what grounds she could have arrested Rove, Pelosi replied, "Oh, any number. But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress. But we didn't."

Pelosi sounded off on the ordeal ahead of the committee vote.

"This is just strictly political," she said. "It's just the irresponsibility of the Republicans. We want jobs. Why are they spending this time doing this?" {Read It All}

    Nancy Pelosi has been a congressional representative of San Francisco, for 25 years. She has been pivotal in American domestic and foreign policy for most of those years, and far more than most of her Representative and Senate colleagues. She is obviously eminently qualified for the job. She is an excellent speaker, and a refreshing voice for the regular family coming from a place where you wouldn't think that was a major concern. Perhaps it's because she's also the matriarch of an impressively good and American family. Among her constituents are the movers and shakers of American and world society and business, as San Fran is a major world hub.

    To caricature Nancy Pelosi, as the cheap-shot, right-wing, dog-whistlers do, is to belittle your own site.

    Very disappointing.

    Nancy Pelosi is not an idiot, and certainly not the silly caricature of the right. She's not crazy. And she's most often not wrong. She is the consummate pragmatic politician - what we call today a "technocrat."

    It's a shame that some find that to be a bad thing. Someone has know how to run government functions!

    Nancy Pelosi does.

    Once again, I see you libertarians and Objectivists arguing against yourselves when you fall for this hyper-partisan nonsense about Nancy Pelosi. Worse yet, it sounds misguidedly misogynistic: In other words, wrong about being wrong. She's not your enemy in any way. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to find she was an Objectivist herself!

    But worst of all - Would you guys REALLY take a chance to vote for ANOTHER one-party state in 2012??? ANOTHER???

    I just don't understand why you would do that. You should be showing Pelosi's good sides right now more than ever. And she does have many for you guys.

    Oh I really hope you publish that! I know at parts it's harsh, but I was trying to make a serious point there. Remember Pelosi represents San Francisco - do you know just how many corporations are HQ'd in SF???

    She's not nearly the caricature of the cheap-stream right.

    Really, you should read more about her life. She's a TECHNOCRAT. If you want to hit her on that, then fine. We'd probably agree a lot there. But don't fall for this silly righty caricature nonsense.

      She's a nutcase, technocrat or not. A real nutcase.

    "She is obviously eminently qualified for the job."

    How so? Other than she is blithely ignorant of her own stupidity.

    She is ignorant of the constitution as well as the beliefs of her own church. The latter isn't a crime, but it does show that she lives in a fantasy world.

    And I'm glad Jersey brought up corporations. SF's list of corporations is paltry, 0nly two fortune 500 companies, and the list of corporations that have left is formidable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_based_in_San_Francisco


    California is bleeding out businesses and productive people, and their progressive, statist policies are to blame.

    A good example, San Fran Nan and her liberal millionaire bourgeoisie claim to love the poor, but their zoning rules and other policies have driven the working poor from the city. See also Boulder Colorado.

    Liberal statism hurts the very people they cynically claim to care about.

      They love the "poor" because the "poor" keep them in power so small tidbits keep getting tossed their way.

      Could never understand why they don't get the connection and the manipulative politics that are being played with them.

    Les,
    You do need to show Pelosi's good side is you can find it. She is right at the top of the elite element of congress. Made millions trading on insider information, gave special tax breaks to one of her husbands businesses. She is part of the privileged ruling members congress who spends your money for her own enjoyment.

    She is worth over 50 million and is the typical limousine liberal. Say the "rich" don't pay enough taxes and need to drive electric cars while she takes he limo to her private jet and goes to a 10k a plate fundraiser. This whole stinking scheme of Holders needs investigation. BHO said he has not seen any of the documentation and knows nothing about Fast and Furious yet he applies executive privilege which guards the president from investigation of things he has knowledge of. His lies are starting to catch up and soon they are going to move his book to the fiction isle.

Taxing the Sale of Your Home

BY: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny From the inbox at RN USA . I am sure there are many who remain unaware of this provision of ObamaCare. E-mail is reproduced here in full with appropriate linkage. Do you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill. Just thought you should know. SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill) REAL ESTATE SALES TAX So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 if you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to mess with the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote

Progressive Fascism... at It's Worst

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism If you have long wondered about just what it might be that is part of the the problem with America today you need look no further than radicalized progressivism. Or more accurately stated liberal fascism. One of the most glaring examples of liberal fascism I have seen recently can be found at This progressive website . It would be almost scary were it not so laughingly irrational, and shrouded in the thick fog of progressivism. The scum in Wisconsin's Senate chamber killed democracy today by voting for the controversial voter ID bill. The good people of Wisconsin are outraged, Democrats are outraged, and the fucking Nazi's in Wisconsin are on the march. They know their days are numbered so they are passing every measure they can to insure the voters of Wisconsin are tilted in their favor. This is fascism at it's finest, it's beyond despicable... { Read More } It is my guess the author

The Future of American Manufacturing...

Image
by  Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Not an economist, I cannot pontificate profusly about various economic models. Nor can I pretend to argue exactly what may be the correct model for any given business or household to follow. Sure I have my beliefs as to what might work best based on my experiences, and from a common sense point of view it is hard to argue with frugal concepts of spending and living within your means, building a nest egg for the future, and having a small "rainy day" fund to fall back on in times of uncertainty. It all makes sense in a simple and direct sort of way. The nation's fiscal house is  a mess. We have ever growing debt, the government continues to spend like druken sailors, we can't seem to find our way away from costly wars or conflicts, we continue to see our manufacturing base shrink in America as we continue to export jobs overseas. Think about it people, It'ws absolutly nuts what we have done to our manufacturing base and pr

Shared Scarcity versus Renewed Prosperity

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Sen. Scott Brown has announced his intention to support Paul Ryan's budget plan . This comes as a surprise as Sen. Brown is a moderate to liberal republican from  Massachusetts, one of the nations most liberal states. I'm content to chalk it up to the Senator finally coming to his senses. On to the real point of today's post. Rep. Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee delivered a speech to the Economic Club of Chicago highlighting the very real {and serious} fiscal issues facing America today. In a most compelling way Ryan drew the contrast between the progressives {democratic party} vision of shared scarcity and the vision of renewed prosperity shared by the more fiscally responsible conservatives. Rep. Ryan's speech for the most part will be overlooked by the liberal government/media complex. His speech will be greatly maligned by the progressive/collectivist sites that p

Two Quotes to Consider

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism The following two quotes were e-mailed to me by a reader of Rational Nation USA. They were taken from a small southern publication called "Tidbits." I thought perhaps my readers might enjoy them. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one further." My take is that all those many billions of people through out history believed just as firmly in their gods as many do today. So who is right and who is wrong? It doesn't really make any difference to me.     Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist "A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." Atributed to Alfred Wiggams As the RN USA reader commented,  "Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between the true conservative and those in public office today who call themselves conservatives." They have a point! Enj

The Continuing Saga of the Debt Ceiling Crises

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny The President, Congressional Democrats, and Republicans are action like spoiled brats. It's kinda like watching a child who throws a temper tantrum because they wanted a red lollipop and they were given a green one. There is every reason to blame both parties, as well as the President, for this modern game of brinkmanship playing out over the debt crises. In the event talks produce nothing and we default on our obligations the responsibility rests with both parties and the President. They, and I mean in unison, will bear the responsibility for the fallout both nationally and internationally for their inability to cut the deal. It is obvious that all concerned are interested more in their own agenda than the interest of the American people, or anything else for that matter. Simply disgusting... ...
