Gutless, Spineless Weasel

Just so this gutless, spineless weasel can't claim he was mis-quoted or taken out of context, I give you Paul Krugman verbatim and total.

Clearly Krugman likes to make a comment, but doesn't necessarily wish to face any challenge to his alleged superior, intellect. 

All you have to do is ponder back to the days shortly after 9/11 to see who drove the wedge into this briefly country.



Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?

Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?
The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.
I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.

Lazy Media...Social Security = Ponzi Scheme

I love the lazy media’s reaction to Governor Rick Perry, Republican Presidential candidate, calling the Social Security system a Ponzi scheme. Naturally they miss the qualification the Perry puts on his comments, that current recipients and those who are poised to join the system have nothing to worry about, but it is the young workers just starting out that are being taken to the cleaners by this huge lie.

For those clueless media types and their Liberal friends who like to scare old people into thinking that anyone who talks about changing Social Security really wants to take it away…let me share this definition of a Ponzi scheme…

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going. The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors.

Does any of that sound like Social Security? HELL YES IT DOES! The last I checked, the actual rate of return on the money that people invest in the social security system is about 1 to 1.5 percent. The need for an ever-increasing flow of money sounds oddly familiar when it come to the social security system.

So is Rick Perry some big dumb cowboy, like the lazy media would have you believe, or is the guy right on?

Follow Liberal Logic: "Let's take these sons of bitches out"

The following is an exercise in Liberal Logic:

Yesterday, while appearing at a Labor Day rally in Michigan, Jimmy Hoffa Jr. the head thug of the Teamsters Union loudly and now famously proclaimed of the Tea Party, “Let's take these son of bitches out”.

Today comes news out of Senator Harry Reid’s state of Nevada, that a currently un-named gunman opened fire inside an IHOP restaurant, wounding six and killing three, including two uniformed members of the National Guard.

Run this through the Liberal Logic machine that claimed that Sarah Palin’s “targeted” Congressional districts, somehow encouraged Jared Loughner to launch a murderous rampage, gunning down innocent bystanders and Congresswomen Gabby Giffords.

So where are the cries of outrage from Harry Reid, DNC Chair Debbie Dumbasdirt-Shultz, Nancy Peolosi and other deranged Liberals, claiming that Hoffa’s fiery rhetoric was the root cause of these terrible, senseless shootings? ***Insert Cricket Sounds Here*** Clearly many members of the military are supporters/members of the Tea Party movement, so it would follow that this shooter was some deranged, union member, hellbent to cap some Tea Party types.

Now do I know for a fact that this shooter was a union member? Or that he heard Jimmy Hoffa’s ridiculous and incendiary comments? No. But when did actual hard facts ever matter to Liberal Logic? They never bothered to get the facts before they launched the attack on Sarah Palin.

Once again, this just another illustration that proves how twisted and illogical the thought processes of Liberals really are.
