The Time has Come for Albert to go to jail for assaulting unwilling women in motel rooms
(“Deniers” made all that shit up, didn’t they, Albert. Your former wife knew better, however.)
How about a carbon ax (lightweight) to be used on politicians with carbon footprints bigger than my 5t/year and who are trying to impose a carbon tax?
Yes, lucky the SCOTUS didn’t order a full recount but rather elected W 5 votes to 4.
I hear that Obama voters in Ohio get six votes each.
I know ! I am shocked too–those 19 cases of voter fraud. Let’s see, 5,500,000 votes in Ohio, 19 possible fraudulent, hmmm that’s 00000345454 pct. Now if we only knew how all those 19 voted!
Amazing, you personally checked all ten million missing Romney votes, and cleared every one of them.
Hmmm, let see, precincts with greater than 100% voter turn out… nope, no voter fraud here … move along…
You mentioned Ohio, and 19 is all the voter fraud I can find. What documentation do you have for these so-called missing votes?
Normally polls like Rasmussen are +/- 0.2% . This year the counted Republican vote was millions lower than the polls taken the day before.
Yes, Rasmussen ranked 24th in accuracy last time, Gallup 26th. They need to update their methods. Why were you looking at them when Nate Silver had it dead on?
Did he have an inside track on Dem cheating?
In about 3 years you’ll see exactly what “voter backlash” looks like
And where exactly was all this cheating, anyway?
Anyway, which is worse: a carbon tax or the Iraq War?
Loud mouthed twerp progressives is worse.
What a zinger! Got me good!
Let’s weigh the harm.
The Iraq war was a one off that resulted in the toppling of a dictator, free and fair elections for a country of 25 million souls.
A carbon tax and it’s resulting suit of ancillary laws, strictures, and prohibitions, with it’s bureaus, departments, and agencies, will be a plague on future generations in pepertuity.
Carbon taxes are purely schemes to rip money off average people. End of story.

The long-term costs of the war will exceed $3 trillion. Economic expert Linda Bilmes and Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz estimate the direct long-term costs of the Iraq war at over $3 trillion. [Washington Post] That includes the cost of caring for wounded veterans, repairing and replacing worn-out military weapons and equipment, and paying interest on the national debt caused by the war. This staggering sum could have:
Paid off 1/3 of the national debt; or
Paid not only for our transition to energy independence, but also provided our nation with the most modern and efficient transport, communications and waters systems in the world, while creating literally millions of jobs here at home.
But hey, at least we have no extra tax…
If you went to that war to help in any way, criticize all you want. Otherwise, your closed mouth will prevent people from mistaking you for an imbecile.
I met exactly zero “progressives” the whole while I was there. Not from our side, not from the Iraqis, not even amidst the insurgency. It was a blessing.
Nobel Prize winners in the mold of Al Gore, Paul Krugman and Mike (I was on the team) Mann?? Need I say more?
So you are good with $3 Trillion +, 4000 US dead, thousands wounded, 300,000+ Iraq dead. Worth spending all that for what, exactly?
:”The Iraq war was a one off that resulted in the toppling of a dictator, free and fair elections for a country of 25 million souls.”
Sorry, not worth it. All the lies added up to the biggest US blunder since Viet Nam.
Anyone one here remember Cap and Trade came from the first Bush administration?
Voter Fraud update: …Of the 19 voters who are under investigation in Hamilton County, most voted early via absentee ballot and then went to cast provisional ballots at their polling place on Election Day. In each of those cases, the provisional ballot was rejected. So even if they were attempting to knowingly and fraudulently double vote, the system was already in place to catch them, and their second votes didn’t count.
Whew!!
Precincts with more Obama votes than eligible voters … no voter fraud here … move along
And that was where, exactly?
Oh peleeeze … do your homework …
I looked–found no documented cases. Can you drop some wisdom on us all?
The US economy is in so much trouble structurally, you might as well introduce an energy tax and put it out of its misery.
Government to get more money and additional powers from it’s citizens – Carbon Tax what isn’t there to like?
We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Jaw jaw jaw is better than war war war.
–Sir Winston Churchill
Why do you think Obama has purchased 2,700 tanks, 7,000 assault rifles, and 1.6 billion rounds of ammo – for domestic use? He tells us that the only purpose for assault rifles is to kill people.
What’s your vote on the Carbon Tax vs Iraq War question?
If we developed North American oil, we wouldn’t need middle eastern oil. I vote for Keystone.
Why is that “vote” important to you? Are you looking at the comparison from economic cost, loss of life, improvement in living conditions, a death/violence index? Or are you just trying to draw out some Rambo to say “you wanna war?” Do you work in the London Financial District or are they just paying you for your activism?
Economic comparison:
By 2050, the boofheaded Australian government estimates the carbon tax to be $131 per tonne requiring offshore (London Financial District) carbon credit purchases of over $75 Billion per annum which will be much more than Australia spends on DEFENCE. Who pays? We pay – on average $10,000 per annum per average Australian household in 2050. More than most households pay for food during the year. It will become the single biggest expense after income tax for the average Aussie family. That’s why the dumbest tax of all time will be reprealed after the next election in September 2013.

Improvement in living conditions? – When you’re freezing to death? No contest.
Strewth. The mention of a dumb carbon tax messes up my typing skill. – “repealed”
PPS My comment above is in response to the “vote” on a carbon tax
The dirty Keystone oil is going to China, by the way. The pipeline will create 32 full time jobs.
As for your last post about the tanks and all, I found the answer via the NRA’s page:
After receiving numerous questions from his constituents regarding the contract, pro-Second Amendment U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) and his staff set out in search of the truth. In a press release, Rep. Westmoreland’s office explains:
If you take the number of agencies that will be using this ammunition – CBP, Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), ICE, the U.S. Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration, the DHS police force, and all the guards that protect the various buildings these agencies are housed in, and spread that out over 5 years, you start to see that 450 million rounds really isn’t that large of an order. Especially considering it is used for training purposes like firing range and live fire exercises, on-the-job use (though that is very limited), and to shore up their supplies. In fact, there are 65,000 – 70,000 law enforcement personnel at DHS who would be covered under this … ammunition contract. If DHS were to purchase all 450 million rounds over 5 years, then that would equate to only about 1,384 rounds of ammo per year per law enforcement [officer] … assuming the lower estimate of only 65,000 law enforcement personnel at DHS. Considering those agents go through training exercises several times per year, that is not a lot of ammunition.
http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/articles/2012/federal-law-enforcement-agencies-buy-ammunition.aspx
They need 2,700 tanks to stop 19 guys with box cutters, or a guy with exploding shorts.
You have some many charts about the weather, why can’t you check any of these stories? Facts beat all the typing typing that goes on here:
The conclusion that the 2,717 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles are for the Department of Homeland Security is false. Instead, they are part of a contract award to the US Navy and will be subsequently used by the United States Marine Corps.
Previous contract M67854-07-D-5032 can be found here and modifications to same contract can found here.
A search for M67854-07-D-5032 at the Federal Procurement Data System reveals that all contract under this number are for the United States Navy.
Finally, I’ll leave the reader to one more source here:
Navistar lands $880 million defense contract
Lisle-based Navistar Defense LLC landed an $880 million order from the U.S. Marine Corps to upgrade more than 2,700 mine resistant ambush protected vehicles, the company announced Tuesday.
The Navistar International Corp. subsidiary will retrofit the MaxxPro vehicles with new rolling chassis to improve their off-road capability.
“As Defense budgets are being reduced, it is imperative that we continue to develop economical solutions that repurpose assets while also working to ensure warfighters have access to emerging technologies and capabilities,” Navistar Defense President Archie Massicotte said in a statement. “Our rolling chassis solution allows us to leverage our unique vehicle design and replace an older chassis with a new, highly mobile independent suspension chassis.”
In summary, the 2,700 vehicles are not for DHS but the USMC by way of the US Navy.

How about the the 7,000 assault rifles? Obama says those are only for killing people. Who is DHS planning on killing?
How many jobs do you think are created by lowering the cost of fuel, Dung Head?
I can’t take any more progressive “reasoning”
The Iraq War is estimate to have raised the cost of a barrel of oil by $10 to $40.
http://firedoglake.com/2011/05/08/forward-this-graph-to-anyone-you-know-blaming-obama-for-high-gas-prices/
In other words, the addition of 2.56 MM bbl of oil per day to the free market had the effect of raising the price of oil by $10/bbl. The price increase had nothing to do with foreign speculation in the market.
The same progressive type of reasoning led us to conclude that increasing global temperatures from the mid 1980’s through mid 1990’s then flattening out came from “CO2 in the air and the science is unquestionable.”
The Iraqi insurgency, car bombs and all, couldn’t cause the damage progressives can
Hollow points aren’t used in training, too expensive.
That “dirty” oil is already coming into the U.S. via Keystone pipeline all the way to Ok and over to Ill. Where is the outrage?
Warren Buffett’s trains are carrying a lot of Keystone Oil. Obama is probably waiting for Warren’s approval. States would gain millions in property taxes from the line and it would also pick up oil from the fields in the Dakotas. There’s 55,000 miles of crude oil lines and this one will be the tipping point, I tell ya, it’s the end. People have no fears of mad dictators with nuclear weapons, but a pipeline is sure to bring doom to all of us. This is why the country is doomed, because people have lost all reasoning and run their lives with emotions, pulled to and fro by propagandists who use them to make millions.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/
The spokesperson for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center states that training centers and shooting ranges run by Homeland Security only use 15,000,000 rounds per year. The ordered ammo is enough for more than 100 years
At the height of the Iraq war, we were expending 6,000,000 rounds per month. Thats enough ammo to fight an Iraq sized war for 20+ years.
Department of Homeland Security includes such law enforcement agencies as the Border Patrol, US Customs, the Federal Protective Service (which guards federal buildings, including Congress), the Secret Service, and the Coast Guard—all of which use guns and bullets as part of their regular duties. It also runs the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
Right. I forgot about their gun running operations to Mexican drug lords.
Some retired officers think otherwise
