We'll let the folks pay for it.' And everybody said, 'Great, what do we do?' And they said, 'Well, let's go to Los Angeles to a sex club.' And they said, 'Great!' So they end up there at a bondage club in Los Angeles. And I thought that makes perfect sense because Republicans love tying things up: health care, you know; climate control; financial reform." –David Letterman

With the health care win(d) behind him, Barack "Tenacious-O" Obama is all over the map doing this and thap. Doing what a president is suppose to do, working hard. Polls show the majority of Americans don't like it! Couldn't they find some brush for him to clear in the middle of friggin nowhere for a couple months?

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Navajo Wisdom
About 1966 or so, a NASA team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City where the terrain of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the Lunar surface.  Along with all the trucks and large vehicles, there were two large figures dressed in full Lunar spacesuits.
Nearby a Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being tended by personnel.  The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA personnel.  Since the man did not know English, his son asked for him what the strange creatures were and the NASA people told them that they are just men that are getting ready to go to the moon. 
The man became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. The NASA personnel thought this was a great idea so they rustled up a tape recorder.  After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate.  His son would not.
Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle and then refuse to translate.
Finally, with cash in hand, someone translated the message, "Watch out for these guys, they come to take your land."

By the Way, Conservatism is Dead
by Bob Burnett | 
Recently there's been a lot of speculation about why the mood on the right has turned so sour. Some observers attribute it to the lack of leadership at the top of the Republican Party, the surreal reality that Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh have more influence than do elected Republicans. Others say it's a poisonous combination of economic angst and racial hatred. But there's a more obvious explanation: we're witnessing the death throes of conservatism. The right-wing ideology that ran the US for thirty years has proven to be a total failure and the passage of healthcare reform was the final nail in its coffin.
In case you've forgotten, classic conservatism promised to keep us safe, reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and manage the economy. Republican broke each of these commitments.

During their small talk, the Navajo woman glances surreptitiously at a brown bag on the front seat between them.
"If you're wondering what's in the bag," offers the woman, "it's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman is silent for a while, nods several times and says, "Good trade."

Nine Myths About Socialism in the United States
by Bill Quigley | April 10, 2010 - 3:22pm | permalink
Glenn Beck and other far right multi-millionaires are claiming that the US is hot on the path towards socialism. Part of their claim is that the US is much more generous and supportive of our working and poor people than other countries. People may wish it was so, but it is not.
As Senator Patrick Moynihan used to say "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But everyone is not entitled to their own facts."
The fact is that the US is not really all that generous to our working and poor people compared to other countries.

Taxes lowest in 60 years, thanks to Democrats and Obama

by kos

Thu Apr 15, 2010 at 10:36:03 AM PDT

I'm sure the teabaggers in DC today will be thanking Obama and the Democratic Congress for overcoming GOP obstructionism and lowering taxes to their lowest level in 60 years?
On April 15, after laboring through their taxes, many Americans may be asking if the president meant what he said. More than three quarters of Americans, according to a CBS News/ New York Times poll released that same month, thought the Obama administration has either kept taxes the same for most Americans or increased them. The latest CBS News/ New York Times poll released yesterday shows that as many as 34 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama raised taxes.
Today, thousands of Tea Partiers will descend on Washington to declare they've been "Taxed Enough Already." Yesterday's poll found that 64 percent of Tea Party supporters think the administration has raised taxes -- a finding that might leave Democrats banging their heads against their desks.
"The American people need to be reminded that 98 percent of Americans got a tax cut last year," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday.
Reid was referring to the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the stimulus -- essentially, the only Obama policy to really impact people's 2009 tax returns. In fact, tax refunds reached an all-time high this year in part because of the stimulus, the president said in his weekly address on Saturday. Meanwhile, taxes are at their lowest levels in 60 years, according to William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center and director of the Retirement Security Project at the Brookings Institution.
"The relation between what is said in the tax debate and what is true about tax policy is often quite tenuous," Gale told Hotsheet. "The rise of the Tea Party at at time when taxes are literally at their lowest in decades is really hard to understand."
The misconception is largely due to Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, living in their alternate reality and sharing it with their audience of millions of incredulous conservatives. But it's also a failure of Democrats to sell their accomplishments.
98 percent of Americans got tax cuts. The richest two percent, well, they didn't. The teabaggers, doing the bidding of America's richest elite, will remain outraged about that injustice. So they are always welcome to send their record-high tax refunds to Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly. That way, they can prove once and for all that they are not all sound and ignorant fury.
Or are they more concerned about the deficit? If so, they are always free to tear up that refund check, doing their part to lower America's deficit.
Actions! They should would speak louder than their angry, uninformed words.

Poll: Tea partiers fear socialism, but love Social Security and Medicare

by Jed Lewison

Thu Apr 15, 2010 at 09:50:03 AM PDT

According to a new poll from CBS and the New York Times, 92% of tea partiers are scared that America is moving towards socialism -- but in a strange twist, most of them seem to like it.
Despite the fear that socialism is coming to America, 62% of tea party supporters also support Social Security and Medicare. In fact, nearly half of them either benefit from Social Security or Medicare or have somebody in their immediate family who does. And about one-third are directly beneficiaries at least one of the programs, compared to about one-fifth of the population at large.
Some other highlights from the poll (NYT, CBS):
  • 18% of Americans say they are tea party supporters.
  • 66% of tea party supporters say they usually or always vote Republican. (Just 5% vote Democratic.)
  • 73% say they are conservative.
  • 41% believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.
  • While 65% believe the Obama Administration treats blacks and whites equally, 56% believe it favors poor people over the middle-class and rich.
  • 89% are white and 52% believe too much attention is paid to the problems facing African-Americans.
  • 59% have a favorable view of Glenn Beck compared to 6% who view him unfavorably. (Among all Americans, the numbers are 18% and 17%.)
  • 63% say they get most of their political news from Fox News Channel.
  • 66% have a favorable view of Sarah Palin, compared to 12% who view her unfavorably. (Among all Americans, the numbers are 30% and 45%.)
  • 24% believe citizens can be justified in taking violent action against the government.
  • 52% believe the federal income taxes they pay are fair.
  • 84% of the tea partiers believe their views reflect those of most Americans, but only 25% of all Americans agree (remember: 18% are tea partiers).

Tea Bag truth: A sad collection of angry, undereducated people who are being manipulated and used
by Jack Lessenberry | 
No, the health insurance reform isn't perfect. But it is better than what we've had.
Late last week, hundreds of ignorant Tea Party morons were as ecstatic as pigs in a Dumpster full of stale doughnuts. Bart Stupak, the Michigan congressman who cast a difficult vote to make health care reform reality, was stepping down!
"That'll show 'em!" the know-nothings cried. How dare Stupak vote to provide all Americans a chance to have health care insurance! Fanatic anti-abortion protesters were happy too.
Never mind that Stupak may be the most anti-abortion Democrat in Congress. Never mind that he only voted for health care after President Obama signed an executive order declaring it illegal to use any federal funds for abortion.

Teabaggers wake up from a lifelong intellectual coma and suddenly realize life is not fair
by Stacie Adams | 
There was a stat recently that many people were losing their shit over. Apparently about 47% of the population doesn’t pay Federal Income taxes. Why, you ask? Because they make so little money that taxing it is pointless, or they receive assistance in the form of government credits aimed at reducing the financial stress of lower to middle income families.
Here is a more annoying stat; approximately 53% of your tax payment goes to military funding. On principle I can’t really object to that. However, in practice this money is squandered on bullshit like having outposts all over the world and slogging through two different wars that our military is apparently incapable of bringing to a close. Wasteful spending in the military is legion and has been for quite sometime. Comparatively, something like education, which is posing a huge problem to the US at the moment, is pathologically under funded.

 With heavy fighting in the former Taliban stronghold of Marjah now largely reduced to sporadic gunfights, U.S. Marines in the area have turned their focus toward eliminating the insurgents' cash source: opium.
But instead of eradicating the illicit poppy fields themselves, the Marines have begun piloting a new method over the past week -- paying farmers cash to destroy their own crops.

What scares the Hell out of me about all this is how confident the Republicans are about nixing the regulation of banking and Wall Street in the face of what we ALL know they did to us. They did more to hurt us than all the Negroes and Mexicans put together, in all of American history ever did to us!    

They stole over half our retirements, a third of the value of hour homes, tens of millions lost their homes, more tens of millions lost their jobs and still the Republican Party who is owned by Bankers and Wall Street who caused all that are touting no change - regulation is socialism - and believe they are going to win so big come November that they will take the House and Senate. Not to mention the glory of the GOP and W. Bush doubling the debt over the past 8 years and supporting two optional wars which  they GOP refused to pay for.

Video Chris Matthews hardball disarms whiny protesters who learn Obama has no plans to do same

Chris Matthews isn't playing softball with these two lunkheads. Armed with the ironic fear of losing "their rights" we presume they know of the multitude of rights they misplaced during Bush years and The Patriot Act, which by the way, they didn't utter a word of protest about. Matthews does a masterful job of helping the boys focus, until they have but one mutual "fear" - and a ridiculous one at that. It is a diabolical plan that President Obama has. He has not now, nor ever said a word about changing the second amendment, taking the country over, or a socialist/progressive  power grab; leaving poor defenseless, guest genius Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, and Skip Coryell of The Second Amendment March to represent others with similar fears, misinformation, and dare I say blind hatred. A look at Pratt's backround reveals an extremely unsavory and dangerous individual, too far out for the NRA. He has white spremacist ties, anti-Semetic, and advocates formation of "citizen defense patrols based upon those formed in Guatamala, and the Philippines, known as death squads. Chris knocks the wind out of the sails of the latter, and the former's little boat has..and still is sucking air badly. Matthews reveals Pratt's down and dirty hatred for the president, which obviously has nothing to do with the right to carry so much as a pez dispenser.

We so often see bogus stats that Tea Party membership is 83% white. Hello? That's because they are not only nasty and stupid, but they are liars as well. The recent NYTs poll properly put the number at a more reasonable 1% of the Tea Party are minority. We often see the Oreos and Sour Cream Burritos on the Tea Party stages, but they are getting paid, in silver we presume. But what about that 1% out in the audience?
