Anyone watching the massive protests for your Messiah in London?

Just curious.

Maybe he is so loved now since the rest of the world also is afraid he will spin the entire world economy into a massive Depression.

In his press conference last week, Obama said, “But, I’m — look, I’m not going to lie to you. It is tough. As I said, that’s why the critics tend to criticize, but they don’t offer an alternative budget, because even if we were not doing health care, we were not doing energy, we were not doing education, they would still have a whole bunch of problems in those out years, according to CBO projections. The only difference would — is that we will not have invested in what’s necessary to make this economy grow.”

Paul Ryan is going to make Obama regret that taunt.

hehehehe

Indeed, the last budget passed by a Congress with GOP majorities was for fiscal 2007. That budget had a deficit of $162 billion, or 1.2% of GDP. But under Obama’s budget, the deficit for this year would total $1.845 trillion, according to the CBO, the highest ever. That would be more than 7 times Reagan’s largest deficit of $221 billion, which caused so much howling among liberals and Democrats.-Amspec

Any other questions?

I’m all for strong military and national defense, but, in a rare event, you are right, Jay. There is too much waste in defense spending. Of course now that we are spending a few trillion extra on other things, I’m sure the waste in other areas will soon far exceed wasted money in defense spending.

So far in New York, home of the dimwitted liberal, in a district that went full blown Oblahmi, One Term’s “approval” rating seems to be down to about 50%-

Scott Murphy (Dem) 77,344, James Tedisco (GOP) 77,279

And who knows how many fake ACORN votes there are, maybe you libs should have had ABC “News”/WashingtonPost run this election, Obambi would have got 64% of the vote, yay!

So ……….

1) The Army Manual we are referring to is not based on the Geneva Convention. Why? Because the Geneva Convention says a prisoner only has to give name, rank and serial number. So why is there a 384 page interrogation manual? We both know why.

2) I ask one more time. Forget the Geneva Convention. Forget the Army Manual Interrogation Manual. DO YOU think these techniques are torture? Any or all?

a) isolation for 30 days or more,

b) sleep deprivation,

c) modified sensory deprivation,

d) use of fear/manipulation of phobias,

e) some use of sensory overload,

f) use of drugs in interrogation.

Corporal, I think that any interrogation technique that has been agreed to via the Geneva Convention is not torture. Otherwise, they would be called ‘torture’. As far as any of those techniques being inappropriate, I guess that depends on what you expect to accomplish. I think it is inappropriate to take pictures of such things and post them on the internet. I suppose there are other things that I think are inappropriate as well. I also happen to agree with others that have stated, based on first-hand knowledge I presume, that torture is an ineffective method of obtaining reliable information and that likely is true for many of the other interrogation techniques. How many people have you extracted information from, useful or otherwise, through the use of torture or the use of Army Field Manual interrogation techniques.
