Hillary Clinton vs. Purity Trolls 2007-10-02 11:20:00 "Purity Trolls
" is the term that HairyTrueMan used to describe a particular class of the Daily Kos mob that he obviously dislikes. The interesting part about this is that he is attacking the purity trolls in order to defend the purity of HillaryClinton
. Here is his definition of a purity troll:"'Purity Trolls' These are trolls from the left. Otherwise known in reallife as drama queens. No matter how pure your position is, their position is more pure. No matter how compassionate or informed or skeptical or vigorous your opinion is, theirs is more of it. These trolls are insistent that they are the true spirit of liberalism, and spend their time being quite put out that the rest of us don't turn over our resources, our audiences, and our respect to them, regardless of how thin their positions may be on the merits. Drives me nuts, personally."Honestly, after reading the quote I was starting to like HairyTrueMan. He even said that Hillary wouldn't be his first choice. I really thought Read more:Hillary Clinton
Nobody Likes Bank of America 2007-10-12 14:52:00 Today's diary entry by libertytree revealed a special union between conservatives and liberals alike: We don't like Bank of America
.Albeit for almost ideologically inverse reasons, Bank of America has angered both the Right and the Left. The admission of libertytree's distaste for one of the nation's largest financial institutions came in his applause for an email from Rainforest Action Network promoting "nonviolent direct action targeting the banks, Citi and Bank of America, that want to finance more than 150 new coal-fired power plants in the U.S. " Many on the Right were recently angered when the supposed Bank of America started giving credit cards to illegal immigrants and made it as easy as they could for them to send money to Mexico for free. So what did we learn from this post?1) libertytree and Rainforest Action Network are tree hugging hippies.2) Illegal immigrants can get credit cards easier than actual citizens of the U.S. and they can send money internationally for free Read more:Nobody
Liberals & Maps that Matter 2007-10-09 20:09:00 Daily Kos storyteller dreaminonempty recently posted this map, illustrating Bush's approval ratings in September '07 by state:Interesting to note, the diary entry by dreaminonempty is entitled "Approval Maps: Just One Red State Left." Only one left? Really? I'd like to now direct your attention to the text below the map. Notice it says "Based on 34 polls (24 states)." Less than half the states?? Leave it to a liberal from the Daily Kos machine to rely on data for the country that is based off 24 states and admitted "estimates."Sounds to me like ole dreaminonempty was doin a little too much thinkinonempty. Anyways, I understand...such is the sanity of the far Left. It's nothing new for them.Example: the 2004 election. View the map of the results below (states that went to Bush).Want another example? Here's a map of the election by county. From the same election, the liberals had to come up with an answer to these very "red" maps (representing support for Bush). It's actually kind Read more:Liberals
Liberal is Synonymous with Sore-Loser 2007-10-09 18:52:00 Courtesy of Pete Rock and his diary entry on the Daily Kos, my belief that Liberal
s and Leftists are (or at least have become) extremely sore losers is further confirmed.This is a relatively new pattern that started with...of course...the 2000 Election.Then continued with the 2004 Election and calls that if not for another vast right-wing conspiracy, Kerry would have won.Now, after Costa Rica voted in favor of CAFTA (the free trade agreement with the U.S.), liberals are arguing once again that the vote was rigged.Poor liberals...they're too stupid to realize when people don't buy their "evil America" arguments. Instead, they reduce themselves to the level of Pete Rock and gripe about how (in the name of "big business") the U.S. harms other countries by rigging elections against what the majority wants (any election that doesn't go the Leftist way, that is).Rrrright....

Dangerous Liberal Race-Relations 2007-10-08 16:39:00 Well, wilson279 is the Daily Kos ignorant fool of the day. His diary entry claims that any black Republican / conservative is an outright "fraud" and "selfish," by definition.What an outrageous thing to say! Not only does it provide very real insight into the ignorance of the Left, particularly the "diaries" at the Daily Kos. The statement shows wilson279's sheltered and fantasy world....I dare might even call it the favorite liberal insult/attack - closed-minded!!Though examples of prominent, successful, and admirable black Republicans and conservatives abound, I will concentrate on one man -- a true genius. He is Thomas Sowell. Talk about a success story!Thomas Sowell was born in N.C. and raised in Harlem. Growing up in a similar environment as many young blacks, Sowell never finished high school. Instead, he left home and eventually joined the United States Marine Corps. Following the Korean War, Sowell went on to attend and study at Howard University, Harvard College, Columbia Uni Read more:Liberal

Liberalism Is Suicidal 2007-10-03 11:33:00 Brian662 tells us to "Be Careful What You Wish For!" He explains by saying that while the US is focused on Iraq and the Middle East "it gives blossoming leftist governments to our south a chance to help their people out of the bonds of the Corporate / US stranglehold of their economies." My question is, is it really the US that has a stranglehold on those economies, or the blatant corruption that runs rampant south of our border? Bribes, kidnappings, drug and human trafficking - that's what will put a stranglehold on economies.Brian662 then goes on to say that having a democratic candidate in office would make things worse, because war operations would be run more efficiently. That's just liberal bias that isn't worth my or your time.The most insightful quote from the post came near the end when our lib of the day finally made his point: "Once the Americas can stand up to the USA, it will set a situation where US hegemony may finally be put in check." This guy really wants the US to Read more:Suicidal
Kucinich = Dem Party Principles 2007-10-23 21:20:00 This was...amusing. It's a post by rjones2818 that outlines how Dennis Kucinich
gets all these different issues "right.""We know what the path to victory is: Acting like Democrats and standing up for the principles of the Democratic Party
. Dennis [Kucinich] gets it right, again! Give 'em hell, Dennis! Go Dennis!" I hate to be the one to break it to rjones, but if Dennis Kucinich has it right, then he's the path to victory for the Republicans, not the Democrats. If Democrats embrace the positions of Kucinich, then America will remain a right-of-center country for many, many years to come. Read more:Principles
Iran Inspires New Liberal Lies 2007-10-26 12:33:00 Bill Tchakirides of the Daily Kos states that: "the real threat of Iran is that it will be the steamy compost used by Bush to fertilize his garden of death."Oh what imagery! Can you see it? Bush fertilizing his "garden of death?"For Billy, it's the typical far-Left and liberal approach to Iran. They 1) compare it to Iraq, and 2) make up "facts" to support their own lies about Bush's lies.It's all about how isolated we (the United States) are in approaching Iran. Billy says that our policy towards Iran is "without support of the...Europe." Ladies and gentlemen, that is FALSE. The truth is that most of Europe is opposed to Iran gaining nuclear capability. French President Sarkozy had this to say:"Iran with a nuclear weapon is not acceptable to me. I want to underline France's total determination on the current plan linked to increasing sanctions. This initiative is the only one that can allow us to escape an alternative that I can only call catastrophic: an Iranian bomb or the Read more:Liberal
Giuliani & Judicial Activism 2007-10-26 09:02:00 Our friend, distributorcap, over at the Daily Kos recently posted a "diary" entry about Giuliani
. He rips him pretty good. Due to time restraints, I will address one point he tries to make. Distributorcap says:"Rudy has flip flopped his positions SO many times on SO many issues that it is tough to keep track. If he hasn't flip flopped he has promised to appoint judges that are non-activist ---- which is just wingnut code for changing positions." Much of the weight of distributorcap's argument rests on the premise that appointing non-activist judges means the same as Rudy changing positions. I beg to differ. 1. Without dwelling on it (because the bigger issue puts this one to rest), Giuliani's belief in appointing "strict constructionists" and non-activist judges does NOT mean he is flip-flopping on issues such as abortion, gay rights, etc. The issues are very different.2. The issue of judicial activism is much bigger and much broader. It goes along the lines of how to view an Read more:Judicial

Impeachment Politics 2007-10-25 16:36:00 As "parmenides for change" valiantly points out, none other than Dennis Kucinich is leading a charge by the Democrats to impeach Vice President Cheney. Kucinich claims that Cheney manipulated intelligence about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, leading us to war "based on lies."I'm so tired of hearing the same banter from liberals...."Bush lied, Cheney lied, war based on lies" etc etc etc.So, for those forgetful or ignorant liberals out there (that includes parmenides for change and Dennis Kucinich)...(and NOTE - the video starts in 1998...way before Cheney was in office)Bush and Cheney lied??Bull.

Kos Bloggers Flock to Stark's Defense 2007-10-23 21:01:00 First off, what Pete Stark
first said (speaking to his Republican colleagues):“You don't have money to fund the war or children, but you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."Pelosi's response to what Stark said:"While members of Congress are passionate about their views, what CongressmanStark said during the debate was inappropriate and distracted from the seriousness of the subject at hand — providing health care for America's children."Then what Pete Stark recently said:"I want to apologize to my, first of all my colleagues, many of whom I have offended, to the President and his family, to the troops that may have found in my remarks as were suggested in the motion that was just voted on. And I do apologize. And, for this reason: I think that we have a serious issue before us. The issue of providing medical care for children. The issue o Read more:Defense
