White House Blames GOP for Shrinking Economy

The decline in the countrys fourth quarter GDP isnt President Obamas fault, says Press Secretary Jay Carney. If you want to blame someone, blame the Republicans.
It is Carneys contention that opposition to the Presidents agenda is what is causing uncertainty in the markets. As anyone in business can tell you, uncertainty discourages investment and hiring.
What the country needs is unity, Carney advised. The sooner everyone gets in step and marches to the same beat the sooner we will be able to pull the nation out of the recession we inherited from George Bush.
The Republicans in Congress need to stop trying to impede the Presidents program, Carney demanded. He won the election. He has a mandate. The argument that we cant afford his program is bogus. As Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman has reminded us, the Government can print as much money as necessary. It should be clear that the GOPs resistance is spiteful obstruction, at best. At this point, one must really question their loyalty to the country and the will of the people.

Differences between your semi-satire and the real thing are now virtually indistinguishable.

I read
a great article by Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret. written February 4, 2011 from "NewsWithViews.com" and here's part of it.
COMPROMISE A DIRTY WORD
Compromise is defined as:A middle way between two extremes
If this is a literally correct definition, and I believe that it is,
what then are we to do when the two extremes at the opposite ends of the plane arethat which is moral
and that which is immoral?
Is it possible that a righteous compromise can be accomplished
when such a compromise, by the very definition of the word, must contain the elements of an extreme that is in and of itself evil or wicked ?
Compromise is as old as humanity;compromise began as a human endeavor to attempt to escape the penalty for the transgression of Gods laws
and to mitigate or contravene the absoluteness of Gods word.
Compromise is mans wayto lessen the seriousness of disobedience to immutable laws and dictums,
or to excuse or condone such disobedience altogether.
No good thing comes from compromise.
Mans accommodation of transgressions by compromise is not a defense for iniquitous acts in the eyes of God.
Compromise is the devils invention;God who is perfect in every way will not be conciliated by the conditions of a compromise.
Compromise was introduced into the lives of men in the Garden of Eden by that serpent of old, Satan,
and will remain with men until the Lord Jesus Christ brings this world to an end - which He will inevitable do - and establishes His Kingdom.
THE FRUITS OF COMPROMISE
Most people have come to believethat compromise is a useful tool
and that the negotiations thereof have brought about good things and useful policies.
If one examines that belief closely it soon becomes apparent thatthere are no useful results that accrue to negotiated compromise on any level.
In fact most oftencompromise actually breeds dissention and strife,which in turn leads to more compromise.
In short compromise feeds upon itself and eats up that which is just and right in the process.
To live in a world of compromise is to live in a world without absolutes,
and yet we know that the entire universe as well as the lives of men are managed, controlled, and kept within irrevocable bounds by the absolutes established by Almighty God.
We violate those bounds, via compromise of any kind, at our peril.
Political negotiations (compromise) in regardto the step down from the safeguarding of the sanctity of life
and from the immutable right granted by God to be defended against being murdered -as set forth in the sixth commandment
- has enabled an American medical assassination machinethat has claimed nearly double the number of lives of the combined number of military and civilian deaths attributable to World War II.
The killing of innocent babies has reached record heights.The lives of twenty-four percent of all unborn babies are delivered into the hands of the serial killers of the medical community.
A baby is murdered every twelve seconds,
and it is estimated that in this country alone there have been ninety-two million living beating hearts stilled by the bloody hands of the legal abortionists.
This conspiracy to commit murder,this aiding and abetting of murder,this disconnect between the forbidden pre-meditated murder of living adults and the sanctioned pre-meditated murder of living babies
has been wrought by a politically mediated compromise betweenthose who claim the right to murder babies
and those who know Gods absolute prohibition of murder.
And there is more.
Now continuing
compromise on morality resulted in the condoning of, and an exponential increase in, the filthy - God condemned - practice of sodomy and promiscuous sex.
For every compromise of Gods word a penalty is exacted.
Aids rapidly achieved endemic proportions, first in the United States and then in the rest world.
We were told that Aids was a disease of monkeys that had migrated to men.
The inventiveness of the scientific community and the political apologizers who defend such appalling and execrable behavior
often find fertile ground in the credulous minds of a spiritually deprived people.
Im not done.
POLITICAL COMPROMISE CONTINUES TO DESTROY THE REPUBLIC
Today as never before in our history the dishonorable who control our social destiny via their political intrigues
subject the nation to a slow death by way of political compromise.
Compromise through ill-conceived trade agreements has destroyed domestic industry and extinguished millions of jobs.
Compromise on sound financial practices has destroyed the housing market, seriously damaged the economy and crippled small businesses.
Compromise on immigration has demolished the social structure, bankrupted state and local governments, critically imperiled national security and jeopardized the safety and well-being of the people.
And compromise on moral integrity has corrupted the youth, encouraged extreme vice and given license to social prurience.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
In a recent article I wrotethat from this time forwardthe people of this nation will not know a day of peace,
there will be no good news, each bad day will fade into another equally bad day,
and the black and ghostly apparitions of the former will blend with the grim and ghastly tidings of the new.
The Lord has departed from a people that have departed from Him and prostituted themselves before heathen gods,a people who will in the coming days loathe themselves for the evils that they have committed in all of their abominations.
They will surely know that He is the Sovereign God who will carry out His wordto do evil unto them that defy His word and deny His Lordship over all of creation.
As I write this piecethe nation is seized by a 2,000 mile long arctic blast of an unprecedented magnitude;
each season delivers devastation of Biblical proportions.
Tornadoes ravage, floods inundate, conflagrations gobble up thousands of acres of trees and foliage and lumbering mudslides follow in the wake of these,
hurricanes terrify the coasts, and hail, ice, and snow bring cities and towns to a standstill.
Truly the day of the Lord is at hand.
One who reads these words and does NOT understand or relate to that which has been written
can be thought to possess one or more of the following character deficiencies:deep perversion, callous indifference, abysmal illiteracy, or appalling ignorance.
Believers in Gods word knowthat ignorance of a secular kind is directly attributable to a lack of spiritual discernment.
Solomon gives a litany of dangers that await the man who lacks Spiritual discernment:
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;Who leave the paths of uprightness,to walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
None that go unto her return again,neither take they hold of the paths of life.
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
A modern translation:
"Wicked and perverse men are scattered like land mines across the paths of our lives.
Without discernment we will soon be following them into the dark of destruction.
The adulteress, every mans worse nightmare, will seduce those who cannot see past her beauty and promises.
Behind her attraction lies the steps that descend to hell.
No one who goes to her returns,but how can anyone know this apart from God Himself telling us."

Compromise Is a Dirty Word for Club for Growth.
We will never unify under
"Establishment Republicans" .
"Establishment Republicans" have more in common with the Democrats, than they do with Conservatives.
The weak candidates are
"Establishment Republicans", weak on national security, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and government spending.
"Establishment Republicans" scream "COMPROMISE".
And people who study the Bible know that
COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
These
"Establishment Republicans" are being weeded out, one by one, and slowly but surely, the TEA Party is taking over.
Someone once said [We're]
'Not victims of "the Establishment." ' I disagree.
I ask you again:
Who was it that dumped all those negative adds on Conservative Candidates in the primary?
Who was it that constantly battered each leading Conservative in the primary with an average of three to one negative ads against our real candidates?
Who's money was dumped against the conservative choices?
It WAS Mitt Romney, leader of the
"Establishment Republicans"and it WAS the
"Establishment Republicans" who funded all those negative ads against Conservatives.
So conservatives, the BASE of the Republican Party, WERE
' victims of "the Establishment." '
Take a good long look at where
"Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.
"Democrats like to project and accuse others of crimes and misdeeds they themselves do"
Here's something to consider about liberals, and conservatives.
The liberal's problem is psychological projection.
Liberals do this all the time.
Here's a definition.Freudian ProjectionThe following is a collection of definitions of projection from orthodox psychology texts.
In this system the distinct mechanism of projecting own unconscious or undesirable characteristics onto an opponent is called Freudian Projection.
- "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept.
It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."
- "The externalisation of internal unconscious wishes, desires or emotions on to other people.
So, for example, someone who feels subconsciously that they have a powerful latent homosexual drive may not acknowledge this consciously, but it may show in their readiness to suspect others of being homosexual."
- "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies, e.g., an aggressive man accuses other people of being hostile."
- "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself.
Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest.
The would-be adulterer accuses his wife of infidelity."
- "People attribute their own undesirable traits onto others.
An individual who unconsciously recognises his or her aggressive tendencies may then see other people acting in an excessively aggressive way."
- "Projection is the opposite defence mechanism to identification.
We project our own unpleasant feelings onto someone else and blame them for having thoughts that we really have."
And here's a problem with honest people.
(General) ProjectionHere projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious.
Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism.
The following are given as examples:
- Individual A assumes that B sees the colour red as he does, until informed that B is colour-blind;
- Someone who never lies is easy to deceive because he projects his truthfulness onto others, assuming that others are honest also;
- It takes one to know one;
- An inept con-man fears that others are trying to cheat him, signals his fear and alerts others;
- (Freudian) An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as a protagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way.
Liberals constantly project their own vile values onto conservatives, intentionally or unintentionally,
and they need to be called on it, be shamed on it, and be laughed at to scorn, when they do it.
We MUST get rid of these evil people.

Child Obama out trick and treating, Republicans stole his candy. Child Obama hunting for Easter eggs, Republicans took his basket. Child Obama wanted to receive I love you Valentines from Republicans and sulked because he received none. Child Obama cried since his Republican playmates received more Christmas gifts under their tree than he did under his.
To: John Semmens
Good satire, but scarey because it does seem to be the prevailing mindset in DC during this administration.
To: Blue Collar Christian; John Semmens
This isn’t satire. The Administration really did blame the GOP for the 4th Qtr decline.

I know this is satire, but CNN is reporting this. I caught their report over lunch yesterday
“Housing is great, job creation is great, the economy shows all signs of a boom, except for the pointless infighting in Washington that could derail it all.”
What a bunch of BS.

To: Yosemitest
My own take on “compromise” is: threaten, capitulate. As in “Security has been compromised.” That means security no longer exists. Substitute security with: morality, ethics, virginity...

It might have helped, if the budget he submitted to the Senate would have gotten passed, instead of turned down 98 to 2... That would be a Democratic controlled Senate. Oh how soon they tend to forget, it´s freightening to think people might actually believe some of this stuff that Carney is saying. If a lie is repeated often enough, people do tend to believe it as true.

"Compromise" is the Devil's game.
It's a
"LOSE-LOSE" situation.

I know, it’s just the “quoted” words that are partial fiction but the thoughts expressed are quite accurate.
To: Yosemitest
Absolutely!
Compromise is what relativism is based upon.
Truth is absolute. God is truth.
Compromised truth is absolute evil.
Freepers, your Contributions make every difference!
Please keep em coming! Thank you all very much!
