    Well Clem, you're a guy who leans right. You just might be that guy you speak of.

    The problem with guys like you is this... you go to multiple sites, disregard the rules of the bloggers to stay on point, are uncivil, tend not to be able to converse with swearing and never back up opinion with and factual evidence.

    RN wishes for an end to negativity in this post.

    Why not just post a simple Happy New Year, or if that is too hard, nothing at all?

    After all, Red was a generally positive guy who brought joy to millions. You should emulate him.

    Again... Have a great year Les!

      Can you believe the right wing imbeciles Dave? All they have to do is 1) stay on topic, 2) be civil and avoid profanity, 3) observing these 2 simple rules is all it takes and their comments will stand. Even is in total disagree with this blogs position on a specific post. But then they REALLY don't care about intelligent discourse. They, like their cult leader Trump,simply want to disrupt.

      I'm reminded of Ronald Reagan who once said; I didn't leave the democratic party, the party left me. Well I used to be a republican and a true conservative. A man of the right. I now say; I didn't leave conservatism and the republican party, they both left me. Yup, shortly after Dubya's first election win I knw the winds of the right we're blowing towards racism and racism so I completely jumped ship. Trump has merely accelerated the destruction of conservatism and the rethuglican party. I'm damn glad to be rid of its rank toxicity.

      Happy New Year to you again as well Dave!

      ... racism and fascism...

    3. Dave MillerWed Jan 01, 05:49:00 PM EST

      Les... my grandfather made and lost his bones multiple times during his life. He lived the last chunk of his time as a proud member of the Florida GOP. He supported Nixon, Ford and Reagan in my lifetime. They were generally good men, believed in some fiscal sanity and didn't personally demonize their opponents, while calling us, as Americans to be better.

      They weren't perfect... admittedly.

      But they would never recognize the GOP today.

      What exactly does it stand for? Can anyone define that? It's not fiscal sanity, character, strong foreign policy, a balanced budget, bi-partisanship, nothing.

      It's a shell of its former self.

      I supported Ford in '76, Elder Bush in '88 and W in 2004. But today in good conscience, I can't imagine supporting anyone from the party.

      I find myself in exactly that same spot Dave. The republican party now stands for... convenience. It has retained zero ethics and zer ok principles of its former self.

      It skates on the periphery of fascism and it fully embraces racism. I most definitely a party to vehemently oppose.

      I voted for Ford, Reagan, and Bush the Elder because I felt they were decent honorable people who, while making mistakes, truly loved their country and acted in what they fully believed was in our nation's best interests.

      Then came Dubya. A man who I believe THOUGHT he was acting in our nation best interests. He was wrong and having lived during the Vietnam fiasco should have known better. It's during his first 2 years I left the GOP for good.

      Then we have Trump, America's equivalent to Putin or the Saudi Crown Prince. A man entirely void of ethics, morals, America's best interests, or love of Constitution or country.

      In short, Trumpian conservatism and the present GOP can choke themselves to death for all I care. And the SOONER the BETTER!

      Not that the democratic left, especially the Bern and The Squad, don't exhibit some if the same offensive traits of the looney right. It's just the trumpian looney right is worse. Egregiously so.

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

The "Scandal" That Won't Go Away...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny CBS - Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up." Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently. "We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part

Spoken Like a True Dyed In the Blue Statist...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Ever hear of or read Mother Jones ? Well I just did, and as near as I can figure she must be Woodrow Wilson's or Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Mother. I say this because she sure as hell is pro statist and pumped up for growing the government bureaucracy. The article is short so it is being reproduced here in full. This site appreciates Mother Jones candor in expressing the statist credo and the desire on the part of the left for an ever larger and more intrusive presence in our daily affairs and lives. January's job numbers were fairly dismal, but the bad cheer wasn't equally spread. Private sector employment, as usual, increased—by 142,000 jobs last month. At the same time, public sector employment declined. Government employment at all levels was down 29,000 in January. Aside from the brief census blip in early 2010, this has been the usual state of affairs for the past four years, ever since the rece

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

She is a life coach who specializes in helping others who experience the suffering of anxiety. More about Eva in her own words: I began my career as an office manager, which actually started my journey to becoming a life coach.  I was constantly bombarded with employees telling me about their work stress, which naturally turned into a conversation about  everything  — work-related or not — that took a toll on their mental well-being. I found that my most satisfying workdays were those that allowed me to help someone take control over their stress, whether it was something I was able to do in my role as the office manager or just as a compassionate listening ear. It wasn’t long before I scheduled monthly lunch meetings where the entire office practiced stress-fighting techniq

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail.

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar
