Echelon works in mysterious ways, you know.<br /><br />The part that I like the most is this one --<br /><br />"Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy."<br /><br />Yes, of course. Never before. Except for, say, 1812, 1861, 1941, or perhaps 1962. But those piddling litte events don't count, you know. Or more likely, Teabaggers refuse to acknowledge any history that can't be found in the Old Testament.Nick from the O.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-32585790300223588242010-07-15T16:34:39.666-05:002010-07-15T16:34:39.666-05:00You've been reading my mail again, haven't...You've been reading my mail again, haven't you, Nick?Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-79721660475874447412010-07-15T16:31:09.152-05:002010-07-15T16:31:09.152-05:00If you think that President Obama was raised as a ...If you think that President Obama was raised as a Muslim, that he's been hiding his true Islamic beliefs since childhood -- and that his true (unChristian) religious beliefs disqualify him from being President, then you might be a Teabagger.<br /><br />If you think Jeremiah Wright's true religious convictions, whether called black liberation theology or the United Church of Christ -- or "Muslim marxism" -- have unduly influenced President Obama and thus render him unfit to be President, then you might be a Teabagger.<br /><br />If you think Pres. Obama should be impeached because he "people started treating him as a Mesiah and children in schools were taught to sing his praises," then you might be a Teabagger.<br /><br />If you believe that Pres. Obama's "science czar," John Holdren "believes in forced abortions, mass sterilizations and seizing babies from teen mothers," then you might be a Teabagger.<br /><br />If you believe that Pres. Obama has "set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade," then you might be a Teabagger.<br /><br />Oh, I have a LOT more of these, courtesy of an email from a business associate. The email includes this poignant plea for openmindedness --<br /><br />"Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn't. Please, find the truth, it will set you free."Nick from the O.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-62058158831738389292010-07-15T12:06:17.263-05:002010-07-15T12:06:17.263-05:00You think that multinational fiscal policy works j...You think that multinational fiscal policy works just like a checkbook and a credit card.mensleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-84600691834015550482010-07-15T10:20:03.421-05:002010-07-15T10:20:03.421-05:00Jim, you make a wonderful point with the parable o...Jim, you make a wonderful point with the parable of the good Samaritan. As a practicing (yet very liberal) Catholic, it still amazes and angers me when the religious right pulls chapter and verse from the fire and brimstone old testament, where the Big Guy was wrathful and had lots of rules, AND COMPLETELY FAILS TO HEED THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT!!! Yes, the new testament . . . the part Jesus stars in . . . where he says to love the Big Guy and love thy neighbor as I have loved you . . .

Bat Shit Crazy Michele Bachmann is ahead of Tarryl Clark, 48-39! It is turning out to be the most expensive campaign in the country.<br /> I was ambivalent about Obama getting the Whitehouse last elections because of the damage Bush and the Republicans did to our country and economy. Whoever is at the helm now, gets the blame. It is going to take a few years to dig out of the hole they made for us. It might be many more years, if the rightwing gets a hold of the reigns. Whatever happens, it is up to us to keep the country from going totally insane.
