That post right there IS a case of someone not capable of clicking a link and reading the article. Had you bothered to even move your wrist slightly and gently press the left button on your mouse, you would have found this tidbit in the linked article:

Republican Assemblyman Jim Conte said the legislation would cut down on “mean-spirited and baseless political attacks” and “turns the spotlight on cyberbullies by forcing them to reveal their identity.”…

Sen. Thomas O’Mara, a Republican who is also sponsoring the measure, said it would “help lend some accountability to the internet age.”

REPORT: “Senate Dems pay female staffers less than male staffers…”

“A group of Democratic female senators on Wednesday declared war on the so-called “gender pay gap,” urging their colleagues to pass the aptly named Paycheck Fairness Act when Congress returns from recess next month. However, a substantial gender pay gap exists in their own offices, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of Senate salary data reveals.

Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers.”

Didn’t the British try to seize those awful tracts that Thomas Paine put out anonymously?

Good grief, you would have thought by now we would have learned that anonymity doesn’t work.

Or did it ?

“Published anonymously by Thomas Paine in January of 1776, Common Sense was an instant best-seller, both in the colonies and in Europe. It went through several editions in Philadelphia, and was republished in all parts of United America. Because of it, Paine became internationally famous.

“A Covenanted People” called Common Sense “by far the most influential tract of the American Revolution….it remains one of the most brilliant pamphlets ever written in the English language.”

Paine’s political pamphlet brought the rising revolutionary sentiment into sharp focus by placing blame for the suffering of the colonies directly on the reigning British monarch, George III.”

TBS–Jay is a total hypocrite. He chastises bloggers for attacking others personally, then turns around and does the same to TD. He blasted Thulsa for playing the “But, But Obama card”, yet regularly plays the “But, But Bush” and “But, But Reagan” cards himself. When Jay does it, he’s merely providing “context”. When cons do it, they’re “deflecting”. Add to that his penchant for telling only half the story using skewed data/statistics, and it’s a wonder he has any intelligent readers at all.

The reason I’m so harsh on him is because Jay is a very smart man and appears to be good-hearted most of the time. As such, it’s hard to understand when he’s deliberately unfair.

Can you give some examples of what Obama “giveaway programs” have caused the current deficit? Can you account for even a fraction of that deficit? Do you think revenue plays a role. Maybe you guys can convince me if you could actually provide an accounting of all this supposed increased spending.

DF–Great to see you also. You don’t have to look much beyond the stimulus spending, Cash for Clunkers, the GM bailout, first time home buyers program, 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, Medicaid/food stamps/disability for virtually anyone who applies, etc., etc. to find the “giveaway” programs. I don’t have time now to add it all up, but whatever amount all these programs contributed to the deficit is too much in my book. The bottom line is that there’s no way to spend your way out of debt. Obviously the decreased tax revenues are a large part of the problem. The Obama/Dem solution was to extend the Bush tax cut and throw in an extra 2% reduction in FICA taxes, all while blaming the Republicans.

My return challenge to you is to show me even one instance in which Obama either (1) increased revenue or (2) decreased spending while in office. I’ve issued that challenge many times here, but have yet to get an answer.

I do not have a problem posting under my real name. Now I am adamantly opposed of the government telling me what private industries can and con not do. Less government is better government.

If you can’t see the irony in your post to Jay. No big deal, but it is there

No. It is an example of someone that forgot to bring his glasses to a restaurant and attempted to post on a blog using a blackberry. Maybe they should outlaw blackberry users from posting on blogs (especially the ones that are to old to do so without glasses)? They could call it posting will blind.

Well it ain’t much but you can’t do much by executive order which is all he can do without congress.

He also proposed a spending freeze on discretionary spending with numerous exceptions but I’m not sure that it ever happened, probably because his budget was defeated.

Then there’s this.

President Obama managed “to get Congress to ax several programs that had bedeviled President George W. Bush for years….Mr. Obama was victorious in getting Congress to slash 24 programs and achieved some level of success in reducing nine other programs,” including the “F-22 Raptor program, ending the LORAN-C radio-based ship navigation system and culling a series of low-dollar education grants. In each of those cases, Mr. Obama succeeded in eliminating programs that Mr. Bush repeatedly failed to end.”

It’s still not a ton of money but it’s more than you asked for. As for the GM bailout, we’ve gotten 13 billion back so far by selling a portion of the stock the government owns, more to come. The TARP also ended up costing much less than the $700 billion that was originally approved. From the NYT

“The Treasury never tapped the full $700 billion. By the time its authority to spend the money expired on Oct. 2, 2010, it had committed $470 billion and disbursed $387 billion, mostly to hundreds of banks and later to A.I.G., the car industry — Chrysler, General Motors, the G.M. financing company and suppliers — and to what has been, so far, a failed effort to help homeowners avoid foreclosures.”

Funny these are democrats that are proposing this NOT the republicans., So Fred do you want to change what you said, or is it your blind ignorance you prefer to shine?

Hysterical.

Right on cue, the anti-intellect, Fox News/ Wheel of Fortune crowd demonstrates their party-wide penchant.

To wit, I read recently where the Republican membership of the US Congress that believed in anthropogenic climate change stood at 11%.

Eleven percent!

This is the kind of number one would see in Ethiopia or Iran or North Korea.

And only then amongst the non-educated people in those countries…

Is this not an infringement on the Supreme Court’s already pre-existing position (based on past decisions) of privacy? And free speech by extension?

Anyway I am uncomfortable in general with a lot of different places having that much detailed information about me. It’d be one thing if I was a public official, or working publicly in an official capacity. I think the only thing I’d be comfortable with is somehow tagging people that have IPs outside of the area (if the blog is about a local issue) as such, and either auto-moderating them or putting a big red sign on them so everyone knows.

Do you remember the debt ceiling deal? I know it hasn’t happened yet, but does it count as a promise broken if he and Democrats stick to it but Republicans vote to change the deal (as they have tried to do already)?

Free speech is no longer protected in this country. Obama now claims the power to imprison indefinitely and even assassinate anyone he desires without due process (and has murdered two already). Maintaining anomymity in this day and age has tragically become critical. We now live in a police state. Congratulations, this is the america you all have worked so hard to allow to happen.

To be clear, Obama has already murdered 2 american citizens already. He has murdered hundreds if not thousands of individuals without due process through drone attacks, etc

Can you tell me how many American citizens George W. Bush murdered in a WAR that should not have been? Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

So first they pass a law allowing the government to indefinitely detain US citizens because of “suspected” terrorist affiliation. Now they want to pass a law requiring identification on internet blogs….Does anyone else see a pattern developing?

And by the way, I have been speaking out against every war criminal president since I got in volved in politics in the late 80’s. I have no problem slamming a democrat or a republican if they violate the constitution, the rule of law, their oath of office, etc. If everyone took that stand we wouldn’t be in the mess we are currently in.
