The Liberals claim that the world hates America and that anyone who supports America is doomed. Then John Howard goes on to win a decisive victory, Tony Blair is re-elected in historic fashion, Mexico and Canada move conservative and now France! Once again, it is as Bret Stephens wrote in the Wall Street Journal several years ago, that an historian looking for clues leading up to major events like the collapse of the Soviet Union or the end of the Japanese economic "juggernaut" would find (he says "most", I say all) contemporary journalism useless.
Why is the contemporary press so useless? Stephens says it's sloth, incompetence and ignorance. I say it's multiculturalism -- the desire to use their power to "prove" that America isn't special. They simply NEED to create a world where the Soviet Union is just as successful as America, where Japan beats us in capitalism and where the rest of the world hates us. It doesn't matter that it's not true because truth is meaningless to the Modern Liberal as proved by their adoration of Michael Moore, their silence in the face of Sandy Berger, their love of Bill Clinton and their embrace of the lie of "man-made" global warming.
Sarkozy's win is a HUGE victory for good which, of course, is while he'll be denounced as "Hitler" by those on the left who would have championed Hitler in any way against America for the sake of "multiculturalism." After all, you can't "impose" freedom on Europe.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 436 of 436Your little personal responsibility tack is getting old, and it sounds to me like the all-purpose fallback to avoid responsibility for your fellow man, actually. It's like when the US or France or some other big country criticizes other countries for not having good democracies or something. Like, hey, Congo, why can't you get your shit together? Right? Except everyoen fails to mention that Congo's past is riddled with fascinating events like that one war that was started by... Elf, the french state-owned oil company at the time.
Gee, expecting people to exercise personal responsibility if an American democracy IS pretty unrealistic. The government just needs to print the money and hand it out. It's literally THAT simple! LOL!
The kansas city story only lasted 12 years. This is, like Iraq :), a very long-term commitment kind of project. 12 years is not even 1 generation.
You must be your brothers keeper, dammit. If he falls down, you must carry him. Don't just kick him and tell the lazy 'f to get up!
dora's utopian totalitarian command economy is only a stone's throw away from today as one moves in the progressive direction.
you need new material.
My ex-bosses Japanese family was wiped out in 1945. By 1975 they were very successful california entrepeneurs that owned their own (very large) houses AND business.
I know, one case does not prove the rule. Or does it? How many Japanese families in California are doing poorly and haven't "recovered" from WWII? Zero.
QED
Excuse me, i've got to go listen to NPR and make myself some sort of organic, healthy lunch. I know, i know, not being a fat, idiotic lardo is letting the terrorists win.
In twelve years the Kansas City School System, given an almost "unlimited" budget, went from bad to bad. Improvement in outcomes. Zero.
Evidently the kids in public school aren't learning enough math in the classroom from watching R rated feature films like Brokeback Mountain.
We could at least afford to let them watch Spiderman 3. All we need is to spend more money.
dora: "We need to try it!"
Doesn't know what racism is or where it came from, has never investigated the nature of racism, ignores all studies from professional psychometricians, can't provide any evidence of racism, yet has the solution.
Education.
So Karnac, are we ready for the next envelope?
...and the answer is, "Increase taxes!"
Damn, predicting the direction a progressive liberal is going is kinda like calculating the slope of a side for a 3-4-5 triangle.
But not this kind of education:
Teachers at a US school have been criticised after staging a fake gun attack during a class trip, telling children it was not a drill.
Many of the 69 pupils, aged about 11, were reduced to tears when they were told to hide under tables and keep quiet as a gunman was on the loose.
I wonder what Farmer thinks of this...
I like the drill idea. We used to duck & cover when I was a kid. The modern day pedagogy that favors the "real" over the ideal is what I have trouble with...
"Excuse me, i've got to go listen to NPR and make myself some sort of organic, healthy lunch. I know, i know, not being a fat, idiotic lardo is letting the terrorists win."
PLEASE-PLEASE-Let it be one of those tainted spinach sandwiches...
Dora's mom
Oh, FJ, you would like that drill thing, right? Any chance to show how much of a big fearless man you are, even if only vicariously through children.
Hey there Beamish, try not to stuff too much triple cheeseburger in your pie hole.
Oh, look at that, xkvsxe:
“I am gladly escaping the ‘Plantation,”
wrote one African-American 33-year veteran of the Justice Department upon her retirement from the Civil Rights division. The division, and the voting rights section in particular, “has seen a dramatic drain in African-American staff over the past few years. And a number of those who have remained have alleged discrimination — according to a knowledgable source, at least two African-American employees have filed Equal Employment Opportunity complaints against their supervisors, claiming they’ve routinely been passed over for promotions given to white staff.”
Given only 4% of lawyers are African American.... it almost sounds credible. Given the lowering of standards required for African American lawyers to get into law school... perhaps not so.
Mr. Beamish, in case you were worried, it seems I have survived the spinach-arugula salad. Now it's time for my fair trade organic espresso.
xkvsxe, here's another thought. If you're so mr. personal responsibility, how about all them darkies killing each other in IRaq? We didn't make them do it. We should just leave, and tell them, here's a copy of the federalist papers, sort your own shit out.
Maybe if many of these "darkies" did not want to nuke America, we could do that. Although I never said I was against helping people. I simply denied that racism is the end all be all cause of the problems of blacks.

Well, i suppose that's good, that you're not against helping people. Although you are a libertarian, aren't you? How does that work? If you're not libertarian, and I've confused you with someone else, ignore previous question.
And i don't think many of the darkies want to nuke us. In fact, ironically, the worse the right wing can paint the treat, the easier it si for the right wing to stay in power. I'm having one of my visions...I see a conflict of interest.
"treat" is not a "threat." should have been "threat."

You are not confused. I agree, for the most part, with Larry Elder, although I do not use the term libertarian to discribe myself as he does. I do not believe, as the LP does, for example, that all land should be privatized, or that the Federal Reserve should be abolished. I do not believe, for example, that simply making a choice makes that choice right. I do have many arguments with libertarians over the idea that letting someone die, when you have the power to stop it, is evil. They often respond "it is my choice and you want to force me to do it". I respond that, who's choice it is was never in question, the question is, what is the right choice? I believe the right choice is to help people.

Illuminati or Skull & Bones?

I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
Do not worry about it. I was giving you a hard time, suggesting you were having visions of a vast right-wing conspiracy. I wanted to know if it was a vision of the illuminati or Skull & Bones.
Oh, no, no vast rightwing conspiracy. Just a plain old conflict of interest: scaring people with ghastly visions of the future will help keep you in power, and you are in charge of giving people an honest assessment of the aforementioned future. There is obviously something problematic there...
xkvsxe, can I ask you, where do you live? in a diverse place? you ever travel? do you have any black friends? don't lie. I only have 3, and only 1 hispanic friend, and at the moment, i don't have any close asian friends. but that's the truth.
I grew up in the South Bay outside of Los Angeles. The area is diverse. I had a good friend who was black in high school, but I lost touch with him. I have an Assyrian friend, Persian/Jewish friend, Russian/Jewish friend, Filipino friend, Pacific Islander friend, a german/itlalian/mexican friend, two chinese friends, an Indian friend (as in the country of India). Out of my friends, whites are a minority. I used to work at a Pizza place which was majority Mexican. I got know them pretty well. I have also worked in a small office of 10, where 5 of the employees were black.
scaring people with ghastly visions of the future will help keep you in power
I guess we've finally cleared up to what effect the progressive "Discrimination Theory" and "Social Justice Theories" serve... (and, of course, their noble origins).
xkvsxe,
South San Jose, here, brah!
Oh, no, no vast rightwing conspiracy. Just a plain old conflict of interest: scaring people with ghastly visions of the future will help keep you in power,
You mean like Al Gore? Unfortunely, the Democrats took controll of Congress in 2006, so I'm not sure how that works into your theory.
...but started on the East Side near Fremont/Milpitas. PHHS ~35% white.
South San Jose, here, brah!
Awesome dude... brah lol.
..HS job - Straw Hat Pizza - Bus boy! Another California boy makes good!
Sorry dora, this guy's from Californistan... one of the few minority-majority states in the union. Can't get much more multicultural than there.
I've met some wildly unexposed people from San Diego. So, you know...but yeah, CA is better than... say Arkansas.
Take that, Bill Clinton!
VAUDEVILLE ROUTINE
I posted this "vaudeville routine" on another website (inspired by another, or maybe the same, troll who called itself "ME") in response to an article on the deleterious effects of postmodernism on education. Since there is also a "ME" here, I thought it might be worth sharing it with y'all.
IDENTITY CRISIS
A – Who is “me?”
___B – That’s “me” is “who.”
A – O.k., “Me” is who?
___B – That’s right.
A – Are you going to answer my question?
___B – What question?
A – “Me” is who?
___B – That’s right. Now what’s your question?
A – That WAS my question!
___B – That wasn’t a question. It was a statement of fact.
A – What do you mean?
___B – In Hebrew, “ME” means “WHO,” but “WHO” doesn’t mean “ME,” so I corrected you.
A – Why did you do that? I don’t even speak Hebrew.
___B – Well, now you do. You wouldn’t want these nice folks to think you weren’t educated, would you?
A – No.
___B – All right, then. Now what’s your question?
A – Who is the troll who posts here who calls himself “Me?”
___B – How should I know? Why don’t you ask him?
A – Who?
___B – “Me!”
A – But I already asked you and you said you didn’t know.
___B – What are you some kind of wise guy? Now get on over there and ask him.
A – But suppose “me” and “him” don’t get along. I wouldn’t want to start any trouble.
___B – I never would have guessed. . . . Now behave yourself, and go over there and ask him.
A – I Don’t wanna.
___B – Why not?
A – ‘Cause I’m shy.
___B – Oh, for heaven's sake! Just go ask him.
A - Him?
___B - Yes, him!
A – Suppose he is a she?
___B – What difference would that make?
A – Do I look like your father?
___B – Now cut that out.
A – But, suppose we don't have anything in common?
___B – Oh, I think the two of you were made for each other.
A – How so?
___B – Well, because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, either.
Such a nasty little troll that dishonest self-centered "ME." Notice how it tries to pit us against ourselves, like all Leftists do. Interresting how it mocks us for being glad Sarkozy won, and criticizes him for "not being conservative enough," like it cares.
That's the kind of person who would argue the USA shouldn't exist just because we couldn't get rid of slavery when we were founded, but had to wait for the conservative REPUBLICAN Lincoln to get the ball rolling, and for the conservative REPUBLICANS in congress to follow through.
And then it would probably complain that wasn't enough and would say it was Dems who finally achieved it in the middle of this century, even though FAR MORE REPUBLICANS supported it than Dems (Al Gore's father being among those voting AGAINST).
And Black people think that Dems are their friends?!! Sheesh!
