"fiscal Conservatives"

In 2001, President Bill Clinton had left America a $236 billion budget surplus.
All the Republicans could focus on was Oral in th Oval.
These GOP "fiscal Conservatives" were given a projected 10-year surplus of $5.6 trillion to work with.
They could have paid off the National Debt!
That would have been the ultimate demonstration of "fiscal Conservative" --
A "fiscal Conservatives" has no debt, lives well within their means and dosen't borrow more than they can pay off during you administration.

The day Bush administration left office, it handed President Obama a $1.3 trillion deficit.
The projected ten year deficit: $8 trillion.
BUSH BLEW $13.6 TRILLION - that's the Rush Limbaugh & GOP idea "fiscally Conservative".
The Bush administration passed two major tax cuts skewed to the wealthiest Americans -- that is they and their friends opened the vault and robbed the bank they were charged with managing.

NOW! 2010 is expected to bring more GOP "fiscal Conservatives" into Washington.
This nation cannot afford to be "fiscally Conservative" -- it clearly costs us too damned much.

Jihadist route to Hell

In a video, Humam Khalil Abu Mulal al-Balawi declares "We will always demand revenge for him inside America and outside. It is an obligation of the emigrants who were welcomed by the emir."

Note what The Koran says about those who seek revenge:
Surah 9:74. Repentance, Dispensation.
"They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: They shall have none on earth to protect or help them."

What part of this phrasing do these leaders of Islam not understand? Look at it again:
"this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them;"

Revenge, in Islam -- explicitly stated in the Holy Koran -- is something to repent of. The failure to repent of this means "Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter"

Humam Khalil Abu Mulal al-Balawi, 32-years-old, was a Doctor, CIA informer, who blew himself up in a Dec. 30 CIA meeting, killing seven including the CIA's base chief.

The only happy thing? ... If there is a Hell, Humam Khalil Abu Mulal al-Balawi is in permanent residence and suffering an eternal revenge that only Allah can inflict. Thus is the fate of all who claim Jihad when they are only engaged in the prohibited murder of innocents, or equally prohibited acts of revenge.

Another happy thought ... the average suidide bomber kills -- at most -- ten people, generally innocents who are then granted immediate entrance to Heaven, as their murderer begins the eternal tortures of Islamic Hell. Think about ten to one ... these clowns, who are noted for killing their own, will kill themselves off without inflicting serious harm to anyone in the civilized world.

One wonders at an educational system which produces a doctor who is such an idiot.

United Nations Propagada - USA politics?

Pro-Life, anti-Israel, anti-Medicalcare Bill (currently before Congress) propaganda "census" claims UN recognition and infers their authority & approval.
ID PUBADV2009 NEW JERSEY PHONE NUMBER.
They give extended biased speech, in the form of lengthy multiple part questions.
The questions offer no means of responding.
Therefore, the call is a fraudulent "census"
Time to deceive so that they can publish false conclusions or response data.
Ah the beauty of the Criminal Mind and -- if truly UN authorized -- the violation of American Law through interference in domestic political of Health Care

Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate

America is doomed to paying twice as much as we should for health care ... the Republicans have won ... they won when they doubled the deficit under Ronald Reagan, they won when they doubled the deficit under Bush 43.

America cannot stand, cannot afford the Republican desire to waste our money.

We need politicians who are honest and willing to represent those who elect them. We need politicans who are fiscally conservative -- who can provide what Americans need and still (as Clinto did) reduce the deficit and provide annual budget surpluses.

Of course, Americans are self-destructive. They want, with all their hearts, to see an end to this noble experiment -- to put an end to this noble experiment... To see that this land becomes a wasteland dependent upon foreign energy until we are bankrupt and have no chance of establishing renewable resources. At that point our military power will become meaningless ... not military force can exist without energy to power its equipment ... and we will drain our resources ... the Republicans have made it clear they want use to drain our resources ... until we are a third world nation begging for assistance from the great powers of Europe and Asia.

Hey! Who cares? We baby boomers will -- for the most part -- be either dead or too old for it to matter.

In 2010 -- be sure to vote Republican. The more they win, the quicker this nation will die.

Constitution & Guantánamo

By HELENE COOPER and DAVID JOHNSTON: "WASHINGTON — In ordering the federal government to acquire an Illinois prison to house terrorism suspects who are currently held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, President Obama on Tuesday took a major step toward shutting down the military detention facility that its detractors say had become a potent recruitment tool for Al Qaeda."

This simple paragraph belies the real Constitutional issue -- one the detainees are on American soil the Constitution rules! And it requires that the detainees be granted all the rights of anyone under our jurisdiction!

Will the GOP fight to violate American Law -- or will they push for it to be honored?

If it is honored the detainess finally get their day in court ...

If dishonored ... America dies as a moral and ethical force (if it ever was one)

Legalize drugs & it will stop usage

News story shows legalization best control:
==========================================
Dutch among lowest cannabis users in Europe
AMSTERDAM, Nov 5 (Reuters) – The Dutch are among the lowest users of marijuana or cannabis in Europe despite the Netherlands’ well-known tolerance of the drug, according to a regional study published on Thursday.

Among adults in the Netherlands, 5.4 percent used cannabis, compared with the European average of 6.8 percent, according to an annual report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, using latest available figures.

A higher percentage of adults in Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and France took cannabis last year, the EU agency said, with the highest being Italy at 14.6 percent. Usage in Italy used to be among the lowest at below 10 percent a decade ago.

Countries with the lowest usage rates, according to the Lisbon-based agency, were Romania, Malta, Greece and Bulgaria.

==========================================

The idea that you can force changes in behavior has long been proved false -- yet those who wish the most harm to the most people continue to promote the concept.

Roe v Wade legalization of abortion (c1973) actually reduced the number of abortions in the United States. Given time to think & choose, because they no longer had to seek an abortionist, many women decided to have the child -- thus there has been an increase in unmarried mothers. The legalization dramatically reduced the number of women who died from, or were rendered sterile by, backroom & self induced abortions.

Thiose whose lives are decvoted to inducing the most harm to the most people still call for a return to the old days. These people, generally members of the Republican Party, are evil incarnate -- they are proud of it ... but will lie about the pride they take in hurting their innocent neighbors. These people have counterparts in A; Qaeda and other terrorist groups -- they know, they aid, they abet each other at every opportunity.

If we want to stop illegal drugs -- we do not engage in border concerns. The goal is to remove the profit which comes from marketing the drugs, and the "coolness" of breaking the law. The Dutch have proved the point. Make it legal and available ... then people will think and decide. Most people will decide to favor their health and ability to function -- so they will turn from any activity which hurts only themselves. People, given the chance might try, but then will ultimately reject, anything which negatively impacts their quality of life. However, there still remains those whose enjoyment comes from hurting others -- or controlling the actions of others and denying them their God Given Right to freewill and choice ... those people invoke and live by a policy of the most harm to the most people.

A rational approach to energy

"If we prepare for climate change by building a clean-power economy, but climate change turns out to be a hoax, what would be the result? Well, during a transition period, we would have higher energy prices. But gradually we would be driving battery-powered electric cars and powering more and more of our homes and factories with wind, solar, nuclear and second-generation biofuels. We would be much less dependent on oil dictators who have drawn a bull’s-eye on our backs; our trade deficit would improve; the dollar would strengthen; and the air we breathe would be cleaner. In short, as a country, we would be stronger, more innovative and more energy independent."
--By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, December 9, 2009


Finally, a rational approach to energy.

Those who seek to destroy America want us to remain dependent on foreign fuels -- until they run out and there is no time to avoid disaster. From the military standpoint: Think Nazi Germany and their dependence on foreign fuels. When they needed fuel the most, when their tanks, trucks and planes were needed to defend against Allied forces, they had no oil. All their fine military mobility came to a halt -- no more blitzkrieg for them ... lighting war was now worm war ... they were crawling home on their bellies and being stepped on ...

America faces the same problem the Nazis did -- we need oil to reach the other guy's territory and keep him off ours. If we continue to burn more than we have, we will have nothing ... any idiot with a pipe bomb could attack us and we would have no defense ... certainly no ability to launch a battle in Afghanistan or some other far off point ...

By one estimate supplying troops in Afghanistan costs $300 per gallon of fuel used ... add to that the losses to the economy because we need to import $100/bbl oil ... and the current recession is a thing of our own making. Everything we import exports wealth and security. If we could generate renewable power, we could do things cheaper here ...

But screw it! There isn't a single American in a position of leadership who wants America to survive past their lifetime. They all want the bribes paid by lobbists from Islamic nations -- whose real goal is to weaken us for an Islamic Jihad takeover. HELL! Ben Laden has told us as much -- when he was telling Bush 43 to waste wealth and leave office with the Trillion Dollar deficit he left Obama. Like Bush 43, Major portions of American leadership take their marching orders from Al Qaeda.
