Facebook Fairy Tales
Ms. Palin… YOU LIE!
It appears that Sarah Shit for Brains continues to lie at every corner she turns and she is a walking example of Diarrhea of the mouth. This Pathetic Ditz is so starved for attention and so motivated by money that it’s a sickening spectacle every time she opens her mouth and spews her grade school level spin on everything.
On Thursday in an interview with Greta Van Susteren when asked if she would attend the Tea Bagger Event next week even after Bachman and Blackburn pulled out, she had this to say…
“Oh, you betcha I’m going to be there,” Palin told Greta Van Susteren. “I’m going to speak there because there are people traveling from many miles away to hear what that tea party movement is all about and what that message is that should be received by our politicians in Washington. I’m honored to get to be there.”
“I’m honored to get to be there.” Huh? No, She is going to show up for one reason… To collect 100K for her appearance and nothing more. Now her foaming at the mouth pathetic Tea Bagger followers, who’s collective brain capacity is equal to a sack of ball-peen hammers, hang on and believe every word this Ditz spews. Fortunately it’s easy to see past her phony facade based on pure history. She claims to be showing up for those “people traveling from many miles away to hear what that tea party movement is all about.” If this was true, why did Ms. Palin QUIT half way through her term as Governor leaving the People in Alaska without a Governor? To cash in on a book deal and stint on Faux News. If you pathetic dweeb followers cannot see that, then you really are stupid! But, then again after you see this video, that’s a foregone conclusion.
Now Ms. Palin’s Facebook Fallacies
He called for Democrats and Republicans to “work through our differences,” but last year he dismissed any notion of bipartisanship when he smugly told Republicans, “I won.”
Oh come on Ms. Palin, Really! And just what was the new President supposed to say after the election? “Yeah I kicked John McCain’s Ass, didn’t I?” You are a pathetic sore loser Ms. Palin and he did kick your ass and Grandpa Gumby’s ass up one side and down the other. And so this comment over a year ago is relevant to WHAT Ms. Palin? Give it a rest and grow up!
He dared us to “let him know” if we have a better health care plan, but he refused to allow Republicans in on the negotiations or consider any ideas for real free market and patient-centered reforms. We’ve been “letting him know” our ideas for months from the town halls to the tea parties, but he isn’t interested in listening. Instead he keeps making the nonsensical claim that his massive trillion-dollar health care bill won’t increase the deficit.
Ms. Palin, the last time I checked You ARE NOT an elected Official in Washington DC and every time you post your trash on Facebook you act and state like you are on the Washington Inside. I have News for you Quitter, You are NOT, so Stop Phrasing things like you are in Washington DC every day sitting in one of the seats of Congress. “We’ve been “letting him know” our ideas for months from the town halls to the tea parties, but he isn’t interested in listening.” You’re a Liar Ms. Palin and By the By, Here is the Republican Party’s Health Care Plan…
Oh and we all know the Republican’s answer on everything!
Americans are suffering from job losses and lower wages, yet the president practically demanded applause when he mentioned tax cuts, as if allowing people to keep more of their own hard-earned money is an act of noblesse oblige. He claims that he cut taxes, but I must have missed that. I see his policies as paving the way for massive tax increases and inflation, which is the “hidden tax” that most hurts the poor and the elderly living on fixed incomes.
Oh Ms. Palin, Aren’t you the Delusional one? You know it amazes me how you spin your little spider web for your trailer trash followers and provide absolutely NO Substance nor proof of your pathetic rants. Here let me help your pea brain figure this out…
When Clinton left office the budget was balanced. Future generations were saving $400 per person on the cost of past debts. That amounts to a savings of more than $2000 per person over the deficits that existed when Clinton took office.
The worst plunge into deeper deficits occurred under George W. Bush. In just four years after George W Bush took office the deficit jumped to over $1600 per person, or about $4800 per year for each family of three. So, some future families will have to have their taxes raised this much to pay for benefits already paid out that they will not receive. That’s an increase of more than $2300 per taxpayer, nearly $7000 for a family of three.
It has been claimed by George W Bush and Reagan that tax cuts improve the economy. It has been claimed by George W Bush and FDR that increased spending will improve the economy. But during the Clinton years spending fell and taxes rose slightly while most economic indicators improved consistently for eight years. During the first three years of the George W Bush administration, spending increased at the fastest pace since 1942 and taxes dropped, while most economic indicators languished. The last 11 years of data clearly run counter to the theory.
By contrast, the largest spending increase during the Great Depression, America’s worst economic crisis, was $222 per person in 1939. The average spending increase during the Great Depression was $85 per person. That’s much less than the $250 to $309 spending increase per citizen per year under George W Bush.
So Ms. Palin, It was George Bush and the Republicans who lied to the American People about the need to start a war in Iraq due to WMD’s and how many years later and over a trillion dollars later and how many American lives later are those WMD’s that we heard about? It was George W. Bush and the Republicans including John McCain who pushed for Bank Deregulation which put this country on the brink of the next depression and as GWB was leaving the White House, he handed over the keys to his train wreck to President Obama. And in only one year in office President Obama while continually dealing with the party of NO has averted a major catastrophic financial failure.
I see his policies as paving the way for massive tax increases and inflation, which is the “hidden tax” that most hurts the poor and the elderly living on fixed incomes.
Ms. Palin, Please provide your sources for these “Massive Tax Increases and Inflation.” Inflation and the Recession happened before Barack Obama even took office. Ms Palin, please provide and enlighten us all about this “Hidden tax” that will hurt the elderly.
Ms. Palin YOU Madam are a reckless and dangerous person. Just like your Death Panel Claims which are lies as well, YOU Madam are trying to be a Fear Monger creating unsubstantiated LIES to feed the fire of hatred and anger in this country. You Madam continually spew your lies and fear mongering and YOU are like chicken shit little yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater! You Madam are a despicable disgrace to this country and every time you open your pathetic trap and post your lies I will be there to counter post to make you out to be the fool.
Your partisanship does this nation no favor. In truth it is both Democrats and Republicans who have incrementally destroyed much of what made this nation great.
You claim that “When Clinton left office the budget was balanced.” This is not true. We believe that there was a surplus because we have heard that there was so many times, but in truth it never existed outside of accounting sleight of hand. The US Treasury should be your one and only source to determine the truth:
Fiscal
Year Year
Ending National Debt Deficit
FY1993 $4.411488 trillion
FY1994 $4.692749 trillion $281.26 billion
FY1995 $4.973982 trillion $281.23 billion
FY1996 $5.224810 trillion $250.83 billion
FY1997 $5.413146 trillion $188.34 billion
FY1998 $5.526193 trillion $113.05 billion
FY1999 $5.656270 trillion $130.08 billion
FY2000 $5.674178 trillion $17.91 billion
FY2001 $5.807463 trillion $133.29 billion
To understand how the fictitious surplus came about you need only review the difference between Public Debt and Intra-Governmental Holdings. Essentially, Presidents Clintons budgets were borrowing money from the Social Security and calling it a budget surplus.
It is true that George W. Bush led us on a wild goose chase for WMD’s in Iraq, but moreover wasn’t this supposed to be a War on Terror? Name the terrorists organization that was in Iraq? There wasn’t one. The WMD debate is a ruse that distracts the people from the real issue. Where are the terrorists that this war was supposed to be about? Today we’re chasing the Taliban around Afghanistan, but the Taliban is NOT a terrorist organization according to the US State Department. President Obama just committed more troops to that conflict.
The State Department claims that states which supported terrorism are the Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, but we aren’t in any of those countries, are we? Furthermore, we also know that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are major contributors to international terrorism, but once again we aren’t doing anything about them either. President Obama has the authority to withdraw from both of these conflicts but has chosen to continue with Bush’s agenda. President Obama cannot claim to be a victim of the previous administrations decisions. He must stand or fall by his own decisions and his decision is clear with the deployment of another 30,000 US troops to the region.
Later you state, “It was George W. Bush and the Republicans including John McCain who pushed for Bank Deregulation which put this country on the brink of the next depression” this is a misleading, if not false, statement depending on which particular deregulation act you are speaking about.
1980 – Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act – which forced all banks to abide by the Federal Reserve’s rules, allowed banks to merge, allowed banks to set the interest rates of savings accounts, raised the deposit insurance of US banks and credit unions from $40,000 to $100,000, allowed credit unions and savings and loans to offer checkable deposits, allowed institutions to charge any interest rates they choose. The Act was passed with strong bi-partisan support.
1982 – Garn–St. Germain Depository Institutions Act – The bill is named after its sponsors, Congressman Fernand St. Germain, Democrat of Rhode Island, and Senator Jake Garn, Republican of Utah. The bill had broad support in Congress, with co-sponsors including Charles Schumer and Steny Hoyer. The bill passed overwhelmingly, by a margin of 272-91 in the House. The Act allow anyone to place real estate in their own trust without triggering the due-on-sale clause that allows lenders to foreclose on a current loan upon transfer to another. This greatly facilitates the use of trusts to pass property to heirs and minors.
1999 – Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act – allowed commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms and insurance companies to consolidate. November 4th, 1999 the final bill resolving the differences was passed with huge bi-partisan support in the Senate 90-8, and by the House 362-57, and signed into law by Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999.
In truth what screwed up the banks were subprime mortgages and that had nothing to do with the “deregulation” and everything to do with Congress sticking its nose in where it had no clue what it was doing. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is what caused the issue that we are facing today with banks and credit. The Community Reinvestment Act forced banks to make loans based on a bizarre racial quota system depending on the demographics of their service area. The upside was Clinton had an awesome economy supported by a housing boom due to many minorities who had not qualified for mortgages due to credit and income factors in the past suddenly could. The downsides were that the housing boom was built on people with poor credit, questionable incomes, and very little equity in the homes. Furthermore, when the Federal Reserve should have stepped in and raised interest rates knowing full well there was a housing bubble, they failed in 3 out of 4 of their primary purposes:
1. Conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
2. Supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system, and protect the credit rights of consumers.
3. Maintaining stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.
4. Providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nation’s payments system.
In conclusion, as American’s we need to stop playing the me vs. you, red vs. blue, Democrat vs. Republican, and Liberal vs. Conservative game that only distracts us from the facts that need to be addressed. The Congress in general has failed the People! The White House in general has failed the People! The Federal Reserve in general has failed the People! We have been lied to, misled, used, abused, and both parties are to blame. They have been playing a very old game called “divide and conquer”, and we should be mad as hell about it.
Thanks for your comments… In Principle I agree with much of what you wrote and the real core problem is allowing the same old bastards in Washington Democrat or Republican spend their lives in Washington. Term Limits should be imposed and once you did your 6 to 8 years in Washington, that’s it, no more. This prevents Lobbyists from brainwashing and pocket lining their “Old Friends.” It also fosters new ideas from new and fresh thinkers and possibly better direction.
I’m apologizing in advance for the length of my reply. The only appeasement I can offer for turning your blog into the web’s equivalent of an EPA Super Fund Site is to invite you to retaliate in kind on my blog.
Thanks for having the integrity to post my comment and for your constructive response which allows for the continued enlightened discussion on some of the most critical issues facing the American people today. You exhibit a strength of character and your convictions which is sadly absent in the venue of political debate. It has sadly become commonplace in public discourse to run for the safety of our political, ethnic, or socio-economic trenches from which we lob inflammatory rhetoric at each other before we hear the heresies of each other opinions. Heaven forbid, if we go about listening to each others ideas and possibly adding, subtracting, or modifying our core beliefs where we find it appropriate, peace and understanding might break out.
On the career politicians and lobbyist issues, we have solidly common ground. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and 10, 20, or 30 years in Congress is enough to convince a man that he is not only omnipotent but that he is the source of his own power, not the People he is supposedly representing. Eventually, his grand elevated status leads him to infallibility, so he can justify cutting the shady deal with the lobbyists holding a wad of big PAC money since he has to be re-elected to continuing to bestow his beneficent leadership upon his frightened, confused, and plebeian constituency. Term limits have their negative effects as well, as they can throw the baby out with the bathwater. I see the solution as REAL ethics reform and REAL champaign finance reform, because the two must walk hand in hand. The corrupting influence of corporate cash must be totally and irrevocably amputated from manipulating a government for and by THE PEOPLE like a puppet dancing on strings. Corporations have a vital role in out economy, but they cannot perform this role in an environment where their own political intrigues create the instability and volatility that skew markets into absurd aberrations and create speculative investment bubbles based on rarefied air.
Corporations must also be made to heel at the feet of public interest as was once the proper place of the business organization. When the IRS finds gross tax violations and the co-mingling of personal and corporate funds, the IRS had the authority to peel back the corporate veil, exposing the management of the former corporation to personal liability. This reasonable, equitable, and awesomely powerful incentive must be available to protect the interest of the People, who grant corporations their charters, but then are treated as fodder by enterprise they bestowed it upon. In cases where a corporation knowing and willingly commits heinous crimes against the People, then its corporate veil should be peeled back and the executives who perpetrated these crimes should be held criminally and financially accountable. Ken Lay and the entire Enron board of Directors and senior management should be rotting in a federal prison and forfeiting all prison job wages for eternity with all of their assets personal assets liquidated to repay the small fraction of the losses incurred by investors on account of their fraud. How is that for corporate governance?
The tragedy in all this is the American people are arguably more divided now than we were at the time of our Civil War. During that conflict we identified ourselves as hailing from the State or Territory in which we resided, but they all had common ground in that they were American States and American Territories. Today we are African-Americans, German-Americans, and Mexican-Americans regardless of whether or not we have ever set foot in Africa, Germany, or Mexico, respectively. Serving to balkanize us further we are split along an ever increasing number of sub-categories:
Republican or Democrat.
Ethnic heritage
White, Black, Yellow, or Red
Christian, Muslim, Jew, or Atheist.
Labor or Management.
Rich or Poor.
Left wing or Right wing.
Pro-life or Pro Choice.
Gay or Straight.
Liberal or Conservative.
And now, just when it seems we cannot be split up anymore, this silly red and blue thing that is a complete mystery to me since in my mind the reds are still the Chinese, Cubans, and North Koreans, although the Native Americans would have merit in disagreeing with me. How can “We the People” find any common ground on a single critical issue, when we find ourselves at odds over which definition we will use for the phrase “We the People”? Oh crap it’s a political third rail, now we can’t touch the critical issue because there is a semantics bomb attached to an inconsequential phrase in the preamble.
How did the nation that epitomized the great multicultural “melting pot” for all people just one generation ago, become the ala carte food fight served cafeteria style of today? My instinct is to blame the media en masse because I can’t find any evidence to support an indictment against the other usual suspects in mass cultural change (Microsoft, fast food, or radical Islam). The media had no few numbers of accomplices in the dispersion of the American essence, as it was and is so conveniently used by most Americans, very people it is separating, in our progressively less common vernacular.
It seems like one of those designer computer viruses designed to damage a specific target (oh let’s say Hewlett-Packard DV900 Notebooks) at a specific weak point (the moronically unventilated video card) in its design, or the way that auto anti-freeze is at the same time attractively scented, sweet tasting, and highly toxic to dogs. The single most alluring words to Americans are the ones that we can use in exhaustive descriptions of our exaggerated sense of uniqueness and personal identity… just like everyone else.
The other obvious benefit of keeping these words in ones arsenal of vocabulary is our second favorite pastime… minimizing the validity of opposing arguments by ad hominem attacks on the individual vocalizing them. It’s far less costly and time consuming to kill the messenger than to ferret out what is true and valid or untrue and invalid in the message. When presented with the opportunity would we chose to call someone “a Godless, dope smoking liberal” and promptly end the ridiculous foolishness, or be forced to sift through 3 millennia of the merits of medical marijuana and it’s embarrassing cost-effectiveness when compared to marginally effective and highly addictive designer pharmaceuticals?
When faced with those kind of options… this Libertarian, Russian-American, White, Christian, Heterosexual, self-employed kid can pick the obvious choice.
Zdravstvuite Mikhail You’re welcome and I believe you have had important and valid things to say and I welcome your comments always
