Paradigm Shift in Politics Lost on Establishment

They insist that conservatives be so squeeky clean they are abnormal, while letting Dems have homosexual prostitution rings in their basements or millions in graft pouring into their bank accounts.

And then there are the "church lady" conservatives all too eager to eat their own for the silliest infractions the media can dredge up. Then they give the democrats a pass because, well, what else do you expect from them?

It would be funny if it were not so destructive.

I am a retired Army senior NCO, and am still serving in the DOD. I am 100% pro military. However, the numbers of men who served in Vietnam, as a percentage of the population, was minuscule. That is why there came a generation where almost no one in the House or Senate was ex-military. I appreciate the sacrifices made, but most men of that generation opted out.

Nation digging in against big government

September 21, 2010

BY STEVE HUNTLEY

The more Americans see of the Obama administration’s big-government programs, the less they find to like.

Consider a couple of revelations about the $862 billion stimulus act. In Los Angeles, two departments got $111 million in stimulus money and created just 55 jobs, according to the city controller. Government red tape was blamed for keeping the departments from creating jobs more quickly.

One of the knocks on the “recovery” act has been that it was written to benefit government agencies, employees and private firms that aid them. Further evidence of that came in figures showing more than $3.7 billion in stimulus contracts, grants and loans have gone to the District of Columbia and two adjoining congressional districts. That adds up to nearly $2,000 for every resident, three times the national average, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal.

The more criticism President Obama’s policies face, the more extravagant the claims are made in support of them. Administration supporters routinely claim the stimulus saved or created 1.4 million to 3 million jobs, despite the unemployment rate hovering at 9.6 percent — much higher than the 8 percent ceiling the act was supposed to put on joblessness.

Now former President Bill Clinton has upped the ante. In an interview on “Meet the Press,” Clinton asserted that without stimulus the bill, the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates at zero and the government “saving the financial system” — presumably meaning the bank bailout — “eight and a half million more people would be unemployed.”
