This link has two short clips of Janeane Garofalo talking about dissent. It's not at all surprising that in 2003, she claims that dissent is patriotic (of course. It's against Bush). Then, just this past week, she is calling the dissent represented by the tea parties as hateful and racist. This display of hypocrisy from the left has become so commonplace that it doesn't raise eyebrows anymore. But the reason for this post is not about something that everybody already knows. It is a warning to conservatives. You are going to be in "the wilderness" for at least the next couple of years. Look at the toll that Ms. Garofalo's anger and bitterness took on her between 2003 and now. Temper your anger. Don't let it consume you.
Here is a link to what has been described as 7500 of the most polite people to protest in Fresno. Pictures that don't fit the narrative that the cowardly blogger and others here have tried to introduce.
Yesterday, Democrat Congressperson Jan Schakowsky of Illinois blasted the Tea Partiers as despicable and shameful. "It's despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt," she added. "Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians." I thought that this was somewhat ironic coming from someone who's own husband was convicted of tax violations and bank fraud. My first thought was "What hypocrisy!". But then I had to remind myself that she is a part of the same governing party that has an admitted tax cheat in charge of the IRS. And the same party that has a man, Charlie Rangel, as chairman of the tax writing Ways and Means committee, under investigation for tax and ethics violations. So it must just be politics as usual for a Democrat. As common and natural as eating and breathing. It helps explain why they don't seem to have a clue why hundreds of thousands of people were in the streets protesting on tax day. After demonizing the Bush administration for holding enemy combatants indefinitely and making a big deal about announcing the closure of Guantanamo, the B Hussein 0 administration is now fighting in court to hold enemy combatants (or whatever new euphemism they're using to call them) indefinitely in Bagram, Afghanistan. The Obama administration yesterday appealed a judge's decision granting three detainees at a U.S. military prison in Afghanistan the right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts, arguing partly that compliance would inhibit the future capture of Pakistani citizens for detention by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The appeal makes clear that, despite the ruling this month by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, the Obama administration for now wants to stick with a policy set by President George W. Bush that those incarcerated by U.S. troops in foreign prisons have no U.S. legal rights. Tina Foster, an attorney for the International Justice Network, which represents the three Bagram detainees at the center of the case, said she found it surprising that the administration was still clinging to the Bush policy that it could capture chosen suspects in foreign countries and hold them indefinitely overseas without justifying its decisions. "I really thought Obama meant it when he said this is going to be the end of an overreaching executive who asserted he had the power to take people and lock them up and throw away the key, no matter whether they've done anything or not," Obamabots have just been punk'd So Barack Obama is just another politician who said one thing to get elected, then preserved his power once in office. When it comes to detaining bad guys without access to court, he said he would close Gitmo, he didn't say he would close Baghram. His words were just words, and you weren't listening carefully enough. You thought he said "no detainees without court review" but he really said "no 'enemy combatant' detainees without court review," and now there are none (there are "substantial supporter-detainees," but Obama never promised to let THEM go to court).
They said if I vote for McCain the country would have a president so dumb, he thinks that Austrian is a language. And they were right!
I'm payin'! And payin'... and payin'... and payin'... Some Liberals stirring up hatred... again.
That's what President Obama is telling American car owners and buyers, making them an offer they can't refuse: If General Motors or Chrysler won't honor their warranties, he will. But Uncle Sam won't stand by warranties held by current vehicle owners or safety recalls, which can occur years after the warranty expires. That would leave uncovered about 10 million to 15 million GM and Chrysler vehicles bought in the past couple years, said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety.
