Karl Rove---You need to be checking out the DUmmie FUnnies if you are not already doing so.
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
Yesterday I heard a radio interview on the NPR show "Marketplace," where they were talking to a guy from the American Enterprise Institute about welfare reform. He is supportive, but they portrayed his statement about large numbers of the welfare recipients moving off the rolls and moving in with family as if it were a horrible tragedy, or as if welfare moms living in crappy public housing somehow have it way better than a single mother living with her Mom and Dad.
I said to my kids, "Let's have a teachable moment. What if Jetgirl (sorry, never use my kids' real names online) here grew up and got married, but when she got pregnant her husband freaked out and left her? And what if she asked to move back in with your Mom and I? Should I go to the other people on our block and say, Give me some grocery money right now. It's not a loan or a donation, it's required. Give me money right now because my daughter needs your help and you're going to help her and like it. These are extra mouths to feed, and it's not my problem, it's yours. Would that be OK?"
Of course, my kids said "No."
"Would it be anything like them giving it of their own free will to charity?"
"No."
"Well, that's what the state does. They say, 'gimme that or else,' and then call it charity. And for Pete's sake, why should anyone expect to depend on strangers forced to do it instead of depending on their family? That's nuts."
Just a little item from the Dad lecture series...But seriously, no single effort of government has robbed more from the taxpayers than the "War on Poverty," and no single government program has had a worse effect. But is there any doubt that the DUmmies and KOkos would expand it if they had power, and then still blame the evil Republicans for the resulting disaster?
Oh, this is cute! Can we say Tom Delay, little KOmmie?
Oh, this is cute! Can we say Tom Delay, little KOmmie?
You Democrats are so intimidating.
I think they have already been doing that since 2000.
Not One Damn Dime Day again? You already tried that.
Boy thats really being tough. "Mr. Fitz, the Republicans are being mean to us. Make them stop!"
Is there anything inconsistent in this statement? Statements of fact cannot be refuted. No matter what is opened up to scrutiny. What this traitorous, slimy idiot is advocating is lying anywhere but in the Democratic Party.
The treasonous motherless son is admitting as much. by acting as if they were true.
And here's the really sad part: They don't even realize it. They really don't.
Democrats must take the gloves off[Says KOmmie occams hatchet as he takes off his restraining straps.]
Yeah, yeah, go on, this is good. The Democrats are finally signing on to the war against terrorism!
Now they're sounding like they've been listening to Rush Limbaugh! No more fighting with one arm tied behind our backs and then wondering how these rag tag armies can "win" against our might."You wanna know how you do it? Here's how: They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now - do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?"[A moment of Divine Revelation! KOmmie occams hatchet gets his inspiration from a fictional movie character in his effort to turn the Democrats into Untouchables. No one would want to touch them if they took his advice.]
< /CRASH > WTF? Are you kidding me? They really are going to continue to put party before country? They consider Republicans to be the most serious threat facing this world?Are Democrats ready to do that? Have Democrats "had enough" cowering, groveling, simpering, appeasing, pussyfooting, equivocating and generally eating the crap of Republican abuse for the past six years to finally do what needs to be done to change things?
I guess they believe they can win the war on terror all by their lonesome (or "negotiate a peace") and thus need to dispense with Conservatives first because they would not have the support AFTER we won the WOT (or at least brought Iraq to a stable democratic conclusion). They team with the enemy to unseat the administration.
And that product is - say it with me -
OUR INSPIRING CANDIDATES!
The DUmmies just can not stop quoting movies can they? Oh, and by the way DUmmie, the character who said this...he got blown away.
"NOT ONE D*MN DIME!" keeps coming back like a bad penny with these guys.
Someone needs to cut off their access to BitTorrent.
When you think about it, they are really denigrating our armed forces by saying that they are too stupid to find Bin Laden if it is as easy as they think it is.
Can you say Slander? sure I knew you could.
Which is why KOmmie occams hatchet has taken the approach he has taken today.
Think this might be part of the problem? Perhaps they should try discussing the issues instead of acting like anyone who disagrees with them is a criminal.
If we say, for instance - in a unified, uniform, unblinking way
Well we know he has a thesaurus next to his knife/gun/tank.
- that the Bush administration has been spying on political enemies, the Republicans have no good responses. Never mind that they will say, "Well, we don't do that." And we'll say, "Why are you spying on political enemies?" And they'll say, "We don't spy on political enemies."
I'm rubber you're glue...whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you! At least they'd appeal to the 2 year old voter (who actually probably does vote democrat along with her long departed great-great grandmother).
And we'll say, "We know you're spying on political enemies - just like Nixon," and they'll have nowhere to go. And so we repeat that meme, louder and more often: JUST LIKE NIXON. And again, they'll have nowhere to go with that - there's no good response that won't raise more questions and add more validity to the charge.
Yeah, that'll work...remind people how you guys can't rip yourselves away from the past. Let them see you haven't had an original thought since Watergate.
There is no way they can defend against a relentless onslaught of that, unless they're willing to open up the NSA program (and every freaking other illegal COINTELPRO program that they're running) to scrutiny. Which they're not.
Defend against it? Hell, I want to ENCOURAGE you to do this. Aside from the fact that you'll look like a raving, neutered idiot without any REAL ideas, even the most "caveman-like" among us (in your eyes that's everyone who doesn't agree with you, which is a big part of your problem...but that's another nuanced subject) want proof.
I swear this guy is a plant...no one can be this paranoid and brain dead can they? Oh please, oh please oh PLEASE...use this idea (I double dare you to infinity)!!!

Um, so you just keep lying until people believe it? LOL! How about this response: "We're spying on terrorists, because we actually care about national security. You apparently do not care about terrorism.
