I'm from the streets & you're clueless. Sniveling wimps like you who talk shit about guns don't impress anybody but other sniveling wimps.

Intellect is merely the ability to process information. I don't need talking points.

You ain't nothing but a punk.

I'd like to not be here right now. I don't feel good about our direction as a nation...

Why waste it on you?

We have more guns so we'll win. I'm using the term "we" quite loosely.

Because I support my local shop owners, I have more guns than every liberal I know. So on a local level, my neighborhood will be liberal free come Armageddon time.

I hope so.... he's a little look at "Progressives" and their agenda.


This should scare the shit out of everyone.

It probably deserves it's own thread.

Woah!… Soros Group Says Obama Can Use Armed Forces to Push “Progressive” Agenda

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, November 18, 2010, 12:15 PM





John Podesta from the Center for American Progress released a report this week that, among other things, suggested that Obama can use the US Military to push the president’s radical totalitarian agenda.
The Blaze reported:

The liberal Center for American Progress doesn’t believe significant GOP gains in the House and Senate should stop the President from implementing more of his polices. The group released a report Tuesday suggesting ways Obama can bypass Congress to accomplish a progressive agenda, and it cites the president’s power as commander-in-chief to make its point.
“I think most of the conversation since the election has been about how President Obama adjusts to the new situation on Capitol Hill,” Center for American Progress head and former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta told the Daily Caller. “While that’s an important conversation, it simply ignores the president’s ability to use all levels of his power and authority to move the country forward.”
How does one “move the country forward”? In the center’s report, Podesta explains that Obama can use executive orders, rulemaking, and even the armed forces “to accomplish important change” and that such means “should not be underestimated.”
What exactly does Podesta think the president should use such powers to “accomplish”? Among others, the report suggests “job creation,“ ”quality affordable health care,“ ”sustainable security,“ and ”a clean energy future.”
The report cites specific goals such as mitigating the effects of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, supporting a Palestinian state, and reducing greenhouse gasses by 17 percent by 2020.

The Center for American Progress was given a 3-year $3,000,000 grant by George Soros’ Open Society Institute in 2006.
Media Matters, the communication wing of the Center for American Progress, was given a $1,000,000 grant by George Soros in October.

I don't need to explain anything about myself to punks. (& I don't say that with an Ashton Kutcherish twist) You're easily recognizable. It's been my experience throught the years that those who talk about being badass are most likely just pussies.



So Beandip,
Who, exactly, are the bad guys? Is there a Koch/Soros conglomerated plot to take over the world? Have they already succeded? Are the teabag progressives their PR army?

One more question: If somebody has the entire fringe of the political sphere pissed off, isn't that a sign that they're doing something right?

I still think Barack Obama is a pretty cool dude

I know many of my friends on the Left consider him a sell out. A year ago, former co-workers of mine bitched and complained that he wasn't doing enough to increase jobs. Then I was laid off 6 months later. Ha ha. But still, even though I'm looking for work, I am optimistic that we're on a better track than we were before. I'll get another job soon enough.

This Rolling Stone piece outlines many of Obama's accomplishments, and I have to say it's impressive. We all know about the health care bill, but when you get right down to the bank and auto bailouts, those actions will ultimately pay for themselves as the government recoups money directly from the banks and auto companies. Granted, many of the tea partiers hate the bailouts on principle, but 2 yrs ago I was very worried about what would happen if we let the US Auto Industry and the State of Michigan to go belly up. The ripple effects would have creamed the economy. Basically, there is no mechanism in private industry to prevent disastrous industry collapses from occurring that subsequently destroy the economy for all. You can't get IBM to pony up billions to save GM. Or Merck to pony up billions to save Citi. Obama, and his predecessor GW Bush, intervened with the US government in a way that private industry was incapable of doing. Thank God for that.

I still think it's way cool that we elected a black (or half white/half black) person as President. It's progress. I think in some ways, the criticism he gets from Beck, Limbaugh and others is natural. People have a hard time with radical changes from the status quo. People get a chance to speak their mind freely in this country during these changes. Eventually it won't be a big deal when we elect a non-white, or a woman, or even a GBLT to the top office.

Hopefully he'll get re-elected in 2012. But even if he doesn't, he'll have done a pretty good job under difficult circumstances. Not bad, in my opinion.
