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
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

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
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.

For You NOT to even Mention the sudden death of our Dear Friend Free Thinke, just goes to show what a POS you, and your Progressive friend are.
ReplyDelete1) FreeThinke/Franco/Roger was NOT a dear friend. Far from it.
Delete2) FreeThinke/Franco/Roger was an evil person, a demon in my view.
3) And, Thise weblog has nothing further to say about YOUR demon friend FreeThinke/Franco/Roger Anonomous.
Off topic, but interesting. I was banned from a RW blog a couple years back
ReplyDelete(adding historical context to a love feast about the Knights Templar), but
check by once in awhile. They report today-
"Please pray for all of us who knew Roger (FreeThinke, Franco……….whatever names he used!??)…His name was ROGER and I doubt he’d care if I mention it here and now.
He was a very rough guy…hot and cold, mean and kinder than anybody ever, very bright, opinionated to a fault, talented………you name it. A hard guy to care about but many of us did. I think most of us knew him about 20 years now! He was part of the blogging fabric. We will miss him." -- Not sure if he left his mess here, but sounds familiar.
YOU CAN KISS MY WHITE ASS , you asshole
ReplyDeleteSorry. I kiss NO ONES ass. Least of all a racist WHITE SUPREMACIST.
Deletemaybe we can do this and rid ourselves of the worst blogging ASSHOLE and BULLSHIT ARTIST in modern American Progressives history.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can do this and rid the USA of racist white supremacist bloggers and bullshit artists the likes of your pathetic ass.
DeleteGet out and stay out! YOU RACIST ASSHOLE.
What is it about people who try to make others feel bad about not wanting to be hypocrites? Many of us knew Roger/Free/Franco. He was a troubled man who I think suffered from a personality disorder. He had wild, violent swings of emotions, and that's why I terminated our brief friendship. He was too unpredictable and unstable to be trusted as a friend.
ReplyDeleteYou're entitled, RN, to your feelings about him, and no one has the right to suggest anything is wrong about your not wanting to be a hypocrite and pretend his passing upset you. Unlike many of his followers and fellow bloggers, you're not a two-faced hypocrite.
Bravo!
What is it about people who try to make others feel bad about not wanting to be hypocrites?
DeleteMy grandfather, a man I greatly admired as well as loved always said, and I qoute, if you call me a son of a bitch when I'm alive call me a son of a bitch when I die. His lack of hypocrisy and his sterling honesty provided an example I've tried to life by my whole life. Both my grandfather and father put a very high value on honesty and both had total disdain for hypocrisy.
I felt sorry for FreeThinke/Franco/Roger because I always knew he was was both intelligent and highly educated. As well as an accomplised musician. Unfortunately FreeThinke/Franco/Roger has serious anger issues that at times he was unable to control as you pontted out. Sad but it was was it was. Personally I always though he might be bi-polar. Not his fault if he was but if he suffered from that he sure did a lousy job of managing and controlling it. Whatever it was.
Had FreeThinke/Franco/Roger been less judgemental of those that disagreed with his views and refrained from the visious and untrue things he wrote about those who did my views ov him would have be vastly different. While I wish death on no one (not even tump) I cannot be a hypocrite and prentend he was great guy who I will miss. He wasn't to many and I won't, period.
And, thanks
RN... the hagiography towards Free is interesting. For me, I saw nothing charitable in his attitude towards his enemies. That's the very basis for the claimed faith that he claimed and called others to follow. The problem was that no one could see in his words and denunciations and of that charity, love or care for others, the least of these, or even his enemies that Jesus modeled in his life.
ReplyDeleteIf someone doesn't want to live that life, that's fine, it's their choice, but if you choose to follow that path, are vocal about it, and call others to do so also, you have a duty to represent the faith well. And the language Free used, and the militant attitude he displayed towards those with whom he disagreed was nothing like what Jesus would have done.
Here is how I have always viewed FreeThinke/Franco/Roger... he was a man interested only in his own SELFISH interests. If you agreed with his version of anything he was your friend. If you disagreed and vocalized your disagreement he was EVERYTHING but charitable. Many times he was off the rails.
DeleteWhether he had serious emotional/mental issue is anybodies guess. Not being a psychologists that worked with him this is of course just my armchair counselor viewpoint. But there is no question that FreeThinke/Franco/Roger did not represent the true Christian faith as I always understood it even while not be a devout Christian.
