As the Obama Administration and a Compliant Lame Stream Media Continue the Benghazi Spin...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny From the lame stream media, no doubt fed by the not to be trusted Obama administration, we are hearing more false spin from dutiful left wing wing nuts. The Washington Post The Romney campaign may have misfired with its suggestion that statements by President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice about the Benghazi attack last month weren’t supported by intelligence, according to documents provided by a senior U.S. intelligence official. “Talking points” prepared by the CIA on Sept. 15, the same day that Rice taped three television appearances, support her description of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate as a reaction to Arab anger about an anti-Muslim video prepared in the United States. According to the CIA account, “The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault agains
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
Another Republican Accused Of Sexual Misconduct...
David French had the following to say regarding Roy Moore and his alleged sexual misconduct 40 years ago. Conservatives, be careful. Don’t dismiss the claims. While I don’t know if the allegations are true, I’m deeply troubled on a number of grounds. First, these women didn’t seek out the press. According to the Post report, its reporters reached out to them after hearing that “Moore allegedly had sought relationships with teenage girls.” So far as we know, they weren’t put forward by the opposing campaign, and the woman who made the most serious allegations against Moore says that she voted for Trump in 2016. None of the women have donated to Moore’s primary or general-election opponent. Second, if you read the report, it includes validation from a number of witnesses who say that they were aware of the relationships at the time. While this isn’t proof of guilt of course, it bolsters the credibility of the accusers. Third, the youngest accuser’s explanation for her decision n

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
Illinois Democrats Move To Tighten Firearm Regulation/Restrictions...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the country struggles to understand, and come to grips with random acts of firearm violence by unstable and unbalanced individuals Illinois is already taking action to further regulate firearms. Like the millions of law abiding citizens I am torn between the right to bear firearms and finding the point at which it makes logical sense to restrict that right. In a modern society in which the tools of warfare are advanced beyond what the founders could possibly have envisioned, and the efficiency of modern armies are such that the citizens would stand no reasonable chance against the modern army, does the possession of semiautomatic assault weapons have any real purpose for the homeowner and sportsman? If deemed they do should they not be highly regulated and restricted to HELP reduce the incidents of tragedies like Sandy Hook? I certainly do not have the answers, nor do I believe the anti-gun crowd has the answers eith
Democrats Bought By Special Interest Money, and They Say It's All Republicans...
Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth We'll start with the thing that will catch your attention, as is the way: Democrats who voted for the giant spending bill on Thursday night received, on average, twice the campaign contributions from the finance/insurance/real estate industry as their colleagues who voted against it. Yes folks, it's true. Money talks, regardless of party affiliation. And so we continue witnessing the purchase of influence by the wealthy and powerful. Does this register? Does it tell us anything? Should it tell us anything? Or do we simply go along to get along and be thankful things are as they are? It seems worth questioning what we view as our biggest national domestic problems. READ THE FULL WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE . Via: Memeoandum UPDATE : JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon made calls to lawmakers on Thursday urging them to support the “cromnibus” spending bill... Dimon's involvement came amid progressive outrage that the House cromnib
The Public's Trust In Government on the Decline...
A PEW Research Center report shows Americans trust in their government has become less positive and at the same time more partisan. Since 2015, opinions about the federal government’s handling of several major issues have become less positive and much more partisan. Yet majorities continue to say the government should have a “major role” on such issues as defending against terrorism and helping lift people from poverty. And views about government’s role, unlike its performance, have changed only modestly over the past two year. Public trust in government, meanwhile, remains close to a historic low. Just 18% say they trust the federal government to do the right thing “just about always” or “most of the time” – a figure that has changed very little for more than a decade. And while more Republicans say they trust the government today than did so during the Obama administration, just 22% of Republicans and even fewer Democrats (15%) say they trust the government at least most of th
Explain This Liberals...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny The headline and the text below is self sufficient. The ball is again in your court liberals. AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWS - Cosby, an outspoken voice on cultural issues, says the recent trial did not prove that Zimmerman had racist motives at any point during his confrontation with Martin. That means race shouldn't be a part of the conversation regarding the case. "Let's not go into a racial discussion unless we really have something there," he told radio hosts Domenick Nati and Nate Foutz. Cosby also blasted the news media and said that he had stopped paying attention to "high-profile" court cases after the Casey Anthony murder trial because journalists were so convinced she would be found guilty and yet she was not.... Regarding the Zimmerman trial, Cosby said that he did not think the state of Florida was able to prove its case against him. "I found that the prosecuti
During the 2nd night of a convention meant to unify and rally all Democrats around the party's feeble, hand-picked choice for President, Joe Biden, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., used her allotted 60 seconds to speak I guess that they were afraid that she might piss on their party at the convention by nominating Bernie Sanders, the Communist Party rep screwed AGAIN out of the nomination in yet another rigged primary, for President.
ReplyDeleteFYI, Bernie Sanders, a strong competitor to Joe Biden during the primary season, did not release his delegates so AOC, one of the democrats in the progressive wing of the party placed Sanders name in nomination. A purely procedural process. It has absolutely nothing to do with anybody "pissing" on their party.
DeleteBTW, Bernie Sanders is not a member of the Communist Party. He is an independent with democratic socialist principles. Your total misunderstanding of terms is not at all surprising as you are a trumper, and, like trump facts do not matter to you as they are considered fake news. Right?
This convention is not rigged. The party, through the primary voting process selected their nominee democratically, just as it should be. But if you wish to focus on rigged focus on trump and his overt efforts to suppress the-vote. Something rethuglicans regular attempt to do because they know without vote suppression their chances of winning the presidency is almost nil. That is rigging an election.
I know VERY WELL. Where Bernie Sanders stands. AND I chose to call him a DISGUSTING ROTTEN COMMUNIST
DeleteThat is fine TOM. You're certainly within your right to hold your OPINION. Even when it is an incorrect one. But, you are not entitled to your own"facts".
DeleteBut do have a god day.
President Clinton. The last president to sign a balanced budget. The last president to lower the deficit.
ReplyDeleteCertainly he had his moral failings, but let's remember... He rammed his budget through Congress over the wishes of the entire Republican Party, which said it would crash the economy and destroy the US. Not a single Republican voted in favor of the bill and the policies that made the Clinton Budget numbers a reality.
What does it mean? It means, as if we need more evidence, that the GOP policy of continuous cutting of tax rates does not work!
At some point, you need to raise revenue, just as a family learns sitting at the dinner table when they've eliminated the cable bill, switched all their lights to LEDs, have given up eating out, steak, the movies and every other "luxury".
Sadly, the GOP, in its current form, does not understand this simple fact.
Of course your observations are, as usual, factual and on target Dave.
DeleteDwight D. Eisenhower may very well been the VERY LAST republican president that was a conservative yet fully understood the truth you so accurately point out. Then there is his understanding of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex. All things Dotard has no clue about. Nor does he care to.
RN... It's interesting. I've been following the story of Stuart Spencer, the former GOP Campaign consultant and founder of the Lincoln Project. In articles about him and his book, "It was all a Lie" he basically says the GOP since Reagan has been not about real policy, rather, it was about simply winning and accruing power. He points out that the GOP mantra of lower taxes has never worked, and even cited essentially what I posted above.
ReplyDeleteWhich of course, is exactly what Reagan Budget Director David Stockman admitted during the second Bush Admin.
The GOP has become a bad place, unable and unwilling to even try and communicate about their policies with people different from them.
For all of the reasons cited I chose to leave the republican party 15 years ago. I am now an independent and will remain so until the day I die. From party comes special interest(s) regardless of party. We see, in real, time, what that results in in the person of Donald J. Trump. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. DJT ran Trump management as an authoritarian business leader , just as an authoritarian head of state runs a nation. As Trump is attempting to do from he Oval Office. Just my opinion perhaps but it is how I see it.
DeleteIf the GOP collapsed after this election (it wont) I would not shed a single tear or give it a moments thought. Our country would become stronger and a better place IMO.
Tom... why do you, and people like you choose to call people names and make political disagreements personal? Bernie loves America. He sees problems we have and he proposes solutions. George W Bush loves America. He saw problems we had and proposed solutions. Joe Biden and Donald Trump love America, see our problems and propose solutions.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to agree with those solutions, but why impugn their love for America and call someone names. Why make it personal. For the life of me, I can't figure it out.
I don't like it from the left, and I don't like it from the right.
Ask your PAL Shaw that same question
ReplyDeleteAs Breitbart News reported earlier this week:
ReplyDelete“Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump in the national popular vote in the 2020 presidential election has virtually evaporated just days after the former vice president named Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate because of a significant decline in support from black and Hispanic voters, according to a poll released by CNN on Sunday evening.”
We'll see if Biden/Harris gets a big bounce comming out of the convention. If not much of America is definitely asleep.
