Morning Must Reads: Revival

“…[S]mall-government conservatism is a volatile element in the Republican coalition — powerful, restorative but also potentially explosive”
.
Problem is, it’s also highly selective. Lest you forget the Schiavo case where every neocon wanted their fingers in the pie…or going to war without a clear reason…or “fighting for the rights of the unborn” (versus tacitly condoning the rights of everyone who’s sexually active, including kids who should not).

Marco Polo’s losing ground? And Sink rises (yay!)

My 5 year-old doesn’t understand the 1st Amendment. Can he get on the cover of Time like Chris OD?

“Republicans have wiped out the advantage held by Democrats in recent election cycles among women, Roman Catholics, less affluent Americans and independents.”
.
This can only be a surprise to the MSM and the progressives. For their supposed brilliance, they cannot come to grips that a progressive agenda is toxic waste in a country that is center/right. Just like in 2008, the successful Democrats will be ones running from Obama (the idea he is a moderate is a joke), health care, bailouts etc and running toward traditional American values (You the ones progeessive despise and ridicule)

Let me break things down for you so it’ll make sense:
You’re full of it.

Across the United States today, the pro-America community will be rushing to purchase Time magazine’s take on Republicans? Dream on, you morons.

It is brilliant analysis like yours that overestimates a bankrupt philosophy like liberalism and why Demos are getting spanked despite the all out effort of for nearly 2 years by the MSM to paint the Tea Party and conservatives as extremists.
.
If you and liberals want to see extremism–look in the mirror. As I have said here dozens of times, the biggest lie liberals tell is to themselves.

The real difference is those of us who are in favor of a smaller, leaner Federal Government versus those who believe in a bigger, bloated, tax dollar eating machine.
.
That is the difference.
.
Tea Party groups across this country have been calling for the end of the huge progressive expenditures brought to us by both the current Democrats, and before them the likes of George Bush II.
.
The end of the big progressive push to create the monster we know of as the Federal Government is coming to a quick end.

What did I miss?

Tackling a new defense of the Citizens United decision.

“Conservatives are allergic to facts, they do love anecdotes. Nothing disproves years of global warming research like a cold day in July, and food stamps are a waste of money because some guy somewhere traded them for a flat-screen TV. As soon as a conservative pundit has found one counterexample, he’s done all the research he’ll ever need.

So it’s no surprise that Reason came up with a new anecdote that will show that the Citizens United decision is irrelevant :

Will anybody point to the failure of eMeg’s record-busting campaign splurge and revisit their commitment to getting private money out of politics?

[...]Whitman is outspending Brown 6-1 in the race, but Brown has the advantage of already being well-known, and Brown has enough money to launch a significant media campaign of his own. It costs $3 million per week to do a full-state media campaign, and Brown has sufficient cash to do that in the closing weeks of the race.

The kind of race where corporate spending makes a big difference is one where the candidates don’t have enough money to launch a credible media campaign, and those races are generally for House seats…In a typical gerrymandered Congressional district, a surprising number of voters don’t even know the name of their Representative. In those races, a million bucks of corporate cash can dwarf the expenditures of either candidate, and it can make a hell of an impact in the race.”

“The Sore Winners: Will America’s Super Minority Sink Us All?”

“It is one of the biggest dividing lines between liberals and conservatives: sensitivity. Liberals are supposed to be the sensitive ones, but even the liberals who worked themselves into a froth over George W. Bush never really cared very much about what he thought of them. But conservatives care what President Obama thinks. They care to the point of imagining what he thinks. I get the same feeling listening to them that I’ve gotten living in the South and listening to Southerners tell me about Yankees and the War of Northern Aggression. Well, although I’ve lived in the South nearly 30 years I’m a Yankee born and raised, and I can tell you with reasonable authority that no one in North thinks or talks about the Civil War. Nor do they talk about SEC football. Nor do they worry about what Southerners think of them, whereas I’ve heard many Southerners explain the football prowess of SEC schools in terms of self-esteem — i.e., that success on the football field is what allows Southerners to feel they’re ‘just as good’ as everyone else, even though everyone else is blessedly unaware of the outcome of the Iron Bowl, or even where it’s played.

Worrying about what someone who doesn’t think about you thinks about you: this is the essence of Sore Winnerdom, and it is no accident that it also the essence of the Republican animus.”

Limited government is actually a liberal concept.
.
I can’t speak on behalf of all liberals but most of the ones I know still think there is something called a business cycle. They believe the gov’t ought to adjust it’s fiscal and monetary policy in response to where in the business cycle the economy is. For example, when the economy is down, liberals believe in stimulating it. When the economy is booming, liberals believe in balancing the books. In other words, liberals don’t believe in one fiscal or monetary policy, for all seasons, like the right does. They believe in using the right tool for the job, when the right tool is called for.

Even though they’ve largely lost on gay, minority, and reproductive rights, there’s still an argument the GOP can use to rally the evangelical base.

“The Republican Party’s attack on the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment has gone into high gear in this election. All the GOP candidates are sounding like Pat Robertson.

Now anti-wanking candidate Christine O’Donnell’s campaign manager, Jonathon Moseley, is offering a $1000 “bounty” to anyone who can find the exact phrase “separation of church and state” in the US Constitution.

The sheer dim-witted stupidity of this empty, faux legalistic argument is its most notable aspect. Har! The joke’s on you! The exact phrase isn’t there!

Are there really people who find that convincing? Unfortunately, way too many.

The legal principles derived from the Establishment Clause and other founding documents are overwhelmingly supported by more than a century’s worth of Supreme Court decisions.

But it’s obviously still a sore point to the theocratically minded religious right.”

Extinction.

“A growing number of creatures could disappear from the earth, with one-fifth of all vertebrates and as many as a third of all sharks and rays now facing the threat of extinction, according to a new survey assessing nearly 26,000 species across the globe.

In addition, forces such as habitat destruction, over-exploitation and invasive competitors move 52 species a category closer to extinction each year, according to the research, published online Tuesday by the journal Science. At the same time, the findings demonstrate that these losses would be at least 20 percent higher without conservation efforts now underway. [...]

Southeast Asia’s animals have experienced the most severe hit in recent years, stemming from a combination of agricultural expansion, logging and hunting. Species in parts of Central America, the tropical Andes of South America and Australia have also all suffered significant population declines, largely due to the chytrid fungus killing off amphibians. Forty-one percent of all amphibians are now threatened with extinction.”

“I, uh, I honestly, uh, I don’t know enough about him to answer that truthfully.”

“One young man insisted that Holder is ‘the most anti-gun attorney general this nation has ever had.’ When Rachel asked how he arrived at this, he had absolutely no idea why he believes what he believes. He referenced Holder’s ‘voting record beforehand,’ which made no sense, since Holder has never held elected office. Asked what it was, exactly, that Holder did on gun policy he didn’t like, the Miller supporter — who, remember, feels so strongly about this issue that he brought it up — replied, ‘I, uh, I honestly, uh, I don’t know enough about him to answer that truthfully.’

So, Rachel moved to the next voter who’s mad about Holder, and who also brought up the subject. ‘He’s anti-gun,’ the woman said. Asked what he’d done that’s anti-gun, the Miller support replied, ‘I don’t have all the facts, but I know that he is.’

Paul Waldman noted, ‘Keep in mind that these are folks who are so mad about this particular issue, and so fervent in their defense of their Second Amendment rights, that they’re out on a corner talking to people about it.”

“It is brilliant analysis like yours that overestimates a bankrupt philosophy like liberalism and why Demos are getting spanked despite the all out effort of for nearly 2 years by the MSM to paint the Tea Party and conservatives as extremists.”
.
I’m going to make it very simple for you – it has nothing to do with politics and all to do with the economy. That’s why people are actually voting for extreme candidates. Not because their ideas ar mainstream or appealing, but because they’re not the establishment.
.
If the economy was rebounding stronger then what it is doing now people would vote for democrats.
.
You might be hardknock and believe all the garbage you hear about liberals, ignoring the elephants and all that, but most people are simply just scared. If they were’nt they would realize that the right hand of the isle don’t offer any ideas whatsoever to fix the economy other than mauled over tax cuts. That pretty much sums it up. If they actually read what the extreme candidates are saying they would realize that it means heavy cuts in the kind of programs they’re afraid that the democrats are cutting. Like social security and Medicare.
.
But it’s not as quick and stinky as your ‘evil liberal’ meme..

Hey, that ‘Bama-Auburn tilt is just about as much fun as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”

No thanks. I’ll take my own pictures and they will not be of these characters.

The problem with ‘Cutgo’.

“When Democrats recaptured Congress, they re-imposed pay-go rules, leaving an exception for extension of the Bush tax cuts for income under $250,000. That’s one reason why the Affordable Care Act had to be offset with hundreds of billions of dollars in politically-painful Medicare cuts, rather than financed solely through borrowing like the Medicare prescription drug law. Naturally, this made the Affordable Care Act much harder to pass through Congress as well as less popular — bills that hide their cost pass more quickly and with less complaint than bills that make make explicit who is going to pay for their costs.

Looking ahead to controlling Congress, Republicans again propose to eliminate Paygo, as they did under Bush. But this time they propose to replace it with a different rule, Cutgo, which would require that new spending be offset with spending cuts. That would indeed be an effective way to limit new spending programs. Of course, it would retain the ability to pass tax cuts with no offsets whatsoever. The decision once again reflects the core Republican belief that tax revenues do not need to bear any relationship to expenditures.”

The false foreclosure nightmare continues.

“As lenders have reviewed tens of thousands of mortgages for errors in recent weeks, more and more homeowners are stepping forward to say that they were victims of bank mistakes — and in many cases, demanding legal recourse.

Some homeowners say the banks tried to foreclose on a house that did not even have a mortgage. Others say they believed they were negotiating with the bank in good faith. Still others say that even though they are delinquent on their mortgage payments, they deserve the right to due process before being evicted.

Some consumer lawyers say they are now swamped with homeowners saying they have been wronged by slipshod bank practices and want to fight to keep their homes. Joseph deMello, a Massachusetts lawyer who represents Mr. Rought, said the common denominator in many of the cases was an overwhelmed system of foreclosures in which banks relied on subcontractors to do much of the work.

‘No one double-checks anything,’ he said. ‘It’s completely high volume and that’s unfortunately what leads to this.’”

The false foreclosure nightmare continues.

“Then:

Wells has not halted foreclosures and says it has discovered no problems in the legal documents used to process them. The company said earlier in the week that it would review pending foreclosures for potential defects.

Now:

Wells Fargo said on Wednesday it will re-file documents on 55,000 foreclosures, drawing immediate fire from one of the state attorneys general most critical of banks in the continuing home foreclosure crisis.

“

The false foreclosure nightmare continues.

“They looked at ‘several’ hundred foreclosures cases and found documenting errors in ’10 to 25.’ That’s simply amazing. Like, it’s hard to do that with random samplings provided we want to have a court system that works here.

Because as we discussed earlier, the damages of kinds of mistakes aren’t capped at forgetting to put a TPS cover on your report. These errors can result in excessive fees not being caught, improper recording of debts and balances. These can turn an underwater homeowner above water, saving him or her from worries of continuing problems. They can allow for a short-sale. They can mean thousands of dollars to people who are now going to be kicked out of their home.[...]

I think a simple dose of game theory helps with these things. Given that servicers are being sued by their investors, wouldn’t they want a moratorium, want the government to step in with a heavy-hand and lend credibility? Nobody believes them, and nobody has a reason to. And I can’t tell what is scarier: that Bank of America knows it isn’t credible here, and just wants to hope it goes away, or Bank of America is simply too large, complicated and poorly functioning to figure out and/or learn whether or not they have a problem here.”

A small quiz.

“Charles Murray’s piece in the Washington Post today argues that yes, of course there’s a new elite, and yes, of course they’re totally out-of-touch. He describes the new elite in some detail. I was surprised to discover that apparently I’m half-plebe, despite having been sure that if anyone qualified as ‘elite,’ it was me. [...]

.

“MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — An Islamic group that controls much of southern Somalia executed two girls by firing squad, and hundreds of residents of a town were forced to view the spectacle.

Sheik Mohamed Ibrahim on Wednesday sentenced the girls to death in the town of Belet Weyne for spying for government soldiers fighting the Islamist group al-Shabab. The local al-Shabab administration appoints judges and the only needed qualifications are that the person must be a man who knows the Quran.
.
Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaida and has carried out several whippings, amputations and executions to enforce its own strict interpretation of Islam. This was the first public execution of girls in Belet Weyne, a western Somali town.
.
Abdiwali Aden, a witness, told The Associated Press by phone that al-Shabab militiamen had walked through Belet Weyne’s streets, informing residents about the pending executions by loudspeaker and ordering everyone to attend.

.
The only difference between the Nazi-like Muslims and our own Progressives is that people may or may not be murdered out in the open. Our progressive friends on the left would rather we execute people under the darkness of night.

‘I, uh, I honestly, uh, I don’t know enough about [insert name or issue here] to answer that truthfully.’

I think that quote pretty much sums up the knowledge of most of the tea partiers and the rw reactionaries……….nothing but froth and spittle.

Its interesting that you as usual gloss over that most of the deficite came from the previous administration and have run with the debunked meme that all this happened in the last 2 years. Sorry, bud, when you use childish insults like go sit in the corner and use driveby commentary about the current economy by ignoring all the facts, it just cement the larger point; hardknock people like you are not interested in the facts. You want to win and you will say whatever you need to scared people to vote your way.
.
Like Freedomrusty wanted rain so fewer democrats vote I’m sure you’re onboard with that idea as well. It’s not about the democratic process and ideas – it’s about winning to you.
.
But please show any facts to the contrary that most people vote based on the economy. It’s the economy stupid, remember that phrase? Very apt. They even reelected that guy despite his moral abyss. Explain that if you’d like unless it has something to do with the economy at large.

“Yes we can, but….”

Obama wore a displeased grin as Stewart diagnosed, with high accuracy, the administration’s condition: “The expectation, I think, was audacity going in there and really rooting out a corrupt system, and so the sense is, has [the] reality of what hit you in the face when you first stepped in caused you to back down from some of the more visionary things?”
.
“My attitude is if we’re making progress, step by step, inch by inch, day by day,” Obama said, “that we are being true to the spirit of that campaign.”

“You wouldn’t say you’d run this time as a pragmatist? It wouldn’t be, ‘Yes we can, given certain conditions?’”

“I think what I would say is yes we can, but — ”

Stewart, and the audience, laughed at the “but.”

“I sleep around.”

Explain to me how/when the Republicans limited the size of government spending when they were in power? Expanded defense spending, expanded medicare spending, expanded farm bills, while reducing revenue for the government. Republicans have a clear political agenda, obstruct, reduce taxes on the wealthy, and continue or expand government services while blaming the deficit on Democrats.

Unfortunately the public is too brainwashed by Fox News to notice.

No this is my honest way of saying as I did previously before you once more added another straw man to burn down that despite your froth, spittle, p!ss and vinegar that it’s about the economy. And if the economy was improving more robustly than it is now, people would vote for the democratic party.
.
I know you keep proving to me that you’re an @ss with your lame insults, but please – if the economy is such a nonsense part of why people will vote for conservatives, then prove it. Stop deflecting and projecting and offer some stats that prove that people have rejected liberal policies and it’s not the economy. That they would have done so even if liberals won in 2008 and the economy was boom busters.

Americans wake up to what is going on. No more carrying the tax burden, while GOP let wealthy and corporations get away with Paying No taxes or very little. That is why we have such a high tax burden. No more saying Nay to not investing in America, which creates Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, while our jobs go to China and India. Realize that less Government, means No Regulations and no one to get in the way of their fraudulent schemes! Say no the Party of No on November 2nd! And, if you do not vote, and you lose Social Security benefits because of privatization or if Unemployment Benefits are put on Freeze, or more jobs shipped overseas, and all you get in Congress is Gridlock and Fillibusters, so that nothing can get accomplished, then there is no one to blame but yourself!

The Pretenders, GOP/Tea Party’s, “mission” is to sell to the American people the “bill of goods” that we Need less government, after all, government will only get in the way of their fraudulent schemes and try to hold them accountable to people and not to corporations!

Then, they pretend that they want to lower taxes for the American people knowing full well that the loopholes they created for the wealthy means that Corporations and wealthy Americans pay very little taxes or No taxes at all, so that every-day Average Americans have to carry and Shoulder all the tax burden.

Then they pretend they want to Create Jobs in America, but to Create Jobs, you must Invest in America, not in China and India — that grows their economy, not ours!

As I said above liberals believe in a business cycle. In fact, a pretty good way to distinguish between liberals and conservatives or socialists is the fact that liberals believe in at least 3 different sets of fiscal and monetary policy for managing the full business cycle. One set for when it is slow, one for when it is rolling along and one for when it over heats. Conservatives and socialists only believe in one set, no matter what is going on in the business cycle.

Well more paragraphs to essentially say nothing. Yes its the economy and the people have decided that liberal politics is not fixing it. You can (and will) try to blame all the evils of the earth on Bush and the people are showing their disgust with the excuses.

“while GOP let wealthy and corporations get away with Paying No taxes or very little”

I find it amazing that all of this has gone on and there has never been a single Democratic Congressman, Senator or President that ever voted for any of these.

They have stood idly by deaf dumb and blind to it all.

“Explain to me how/when the Republicans limited the size of government spending when they were in power?”

You would have to go back a long way. The modern Republican approach is to lower government revenue while expanding government expenditures at the same time. Reagan transformed the country into a debtor nation. He had to borrow massive amounts of money to pay for his expanded government and tax cuts. The right is still doing the same thing. They propose these policies whether the economy is up or down. The last guy to balance the books was Clinton, who was simply following basic economic theory. You really can’t find what the right does in any economic textbooks because no rational person would do it.

Republican women candidates insist that Democratic male candidates “man up”. After all, they have their heroes. There is the men who threw a woman to the ground and then stomped on her head and now this new male hero taking on a woman protester:

First off “Clinton” was not responsible for the budget surpluses, it was a Republican Congress who passed legislation and approved budgets which met with the guidelines Clinton HAD to follow. The result, we ended Clinton’s years with a surplus under a Republican controlled house and senate.

Bush II did spend, and spend some more. Especially on the “War against Terror”. But, please tell us how and why after getting a Democrat President and Democrat controlled House and Senate all we have seen is a deficit which has exploded, and more money has been spent in the past 2 years as all other years combined under any previous President or Congress for that matter.

Because Obama inherited two unfinished wars, an unfunded entitlement, an economy losing 700,000 jobs per month, a financial crisis and a deficit which was already at 1.3 trillion dollars. He did enough to stop the bleeding, but not enough to turn it around. His greatest mistake was surrounding himself with nothing but “centrists.” Thanks to economic ignorance and ideology strap yourself in for a decade of high unemployment.
