Comment on Lazio, GOPers respond on Obama mosque speech by jason

The voices crying out to disallow this project are the same intolerant bigoted voiced that led to the rise of the brutal regimes in Germany and China and Italy in the middle of the last century. The sensitivity of the victims – is not a real excuse – that is a simple excuse to allow xenophobic, hostile, racist and prejudiced thinking to take root in our democracy. muslims died in the collapse of the towers as did jews and christians and non-believers. This was not an attack by the world muslims on America. It was an attack by a handful of thugs. We cannot let our own native thugs take control of this debate. Please people, come to your senses.

The closer we get to midterms, the crazier the GOP seems to be getting. Maybe it’s starting to backfire on them.

Comment on Lawmakers trade charges of ‘fanning the flames’ of violence by Pennsylvania

The Tea Party crowd are just trying to retain the individual liberties that your crowd have not already taken away. These liberties are inalienable rights, bestowed by the creator and evil forces are trying to remove them and turn us into slaves. Slavery to the government is still slavery.

Comment on Lawmakers trade charges of ‘fanning the flames’ of violence by Montana

Since their inception the Teaparty crowd (not a movement since they do have the numbers or clout) have been “haters not debaters”.

In my opinion this is what the small portions of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. They are good at “Follow the Leader” of their dullard leaders, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think?

The world is complicated and most republicans (Hamiliton, Lincoln, Roosevelt) believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. Although some republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe most of them are just going along and fanning the flames.

Comment on Investigator: Demjanjuk on Nazi death camp papers (AP) by Lubomyr Prytulak

After 33 years of featuring the Trawniki ID Card as the sole documentary evidence placing John Demjanjuk in German uniform, suddenly the Kremlin wants to take the public’s attention to some freshly-discovered documentary evidence. How convenient, just when it has been shown that the “Demjanjuk” signature on that Trawniki ID Card is forged, and has been obliterated to conceal that it was forged:

FORGED AND OBLITERATED: THINGS YOU WON’T READ IN WIKIPEDIA ABOUT THE TRAWNIKI ID CARD’S DEMJANJUK SIGNATURE
http://www.xoxol.org/traw/forge.html

And how convenient to deflect attention away from the Trawniki ID Card just when it has been shown that it was not the German military during the war, but the KGB in recent times, who glued the photograph of John Demjanjuk to that card:

WHO GLUED THE DEMJANJUK PHOTOGRAPH TO TRAWNIKI CARD 1393?
http://www.xoxol.org/traw/photo.html

Yes, the Kremlin has good reason to want us to stop thinking about that Trawniki ID Card, to stop remembering that there ever was a Trawniki ID Card! And notice how the Kremlin never submits its evidence to a court, not to the court that tried John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem, and not to the Munich court–because the Kremlin doesn’t want to take responsibility for the evidence or to answer questions concerning it or to supply a chain of custody. It always gives its evidence to some third party who then hands it in to the court.

Comment on Obama report warns of health premium spikes by Wellescent Health Politics

Wellescent Health Politics — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:23:46 +0000

These dramatic increases really point out the vulnerability of the current health insurance system to economic depression. As something for which people get no immediate benefit, health insurance is quickly dropped when times get tough leaving those that need it having to pick up a bigger tab to retain it.
