Beck SLAMS Olbermann: 'He Is Such A Joke'


Dish out but can't take it much?

Isn't this the same cult leader who regularly cries whenever someone calls him on his lies?

The Obama Disappointment and Its Cost

"Sometimes you have to sacrifice the present to better the future."



Our country requires intensive care treatment at this point after the mess left to our president, but the bailouts and taking ownership without control or accountability is really more of a "sacrifice the future to save the financial interests of the few in the present."



Yes, there has been progress, and I appreciate the student loan reforms too. However, it isn't rational to bend over backwards to try and please people who utterly hate you and, by judging some of their signs and slogans, want to hurt you as well, while ignoring the people who support you and want you to succeed. Yes, Barack Obama is everyone's president and just like a father who sometimes has to drag the kids kicking and screaming to what is right, he needs to make the hard decisions that are going to incur the whining and loud noises from fox et al. For the good of everyone, the benefits to the majority really do outweigh the slight loss of money and privilege to the few. If he can't, then we are going back to he Dark Ages when he is defeated.

We're in a One-and-a-Half Dip Recession


Candidate bush jr. pushed his tax cut as the central theme of his campaign, the number $1.6 trillion over 10 years was used so many times you'd have to be braindead not to remember. His next round in '03 was also large and the republicans did not even hint as to cutting any spending to offset the loss of revenue, remember the rather large "transition cost" attached to SS privatization? So that is at least a trillion. As to 50% of the country not paying any taxes, how does this myth ever get traction? If you're going to make this claim at least qualify it as "Federal income taxes" because even if you have no income at all you still pay all sorts of excise and sales taxes and FICA is deducted from the first dollar of your income. Also, most of the business tax cuts you cite were actually rebates given to well-established multinationals, given even when the company weaseled out of any tax liability. The failure rate of business startups has not improved by these gifts, so how exactly do tax cuts help the rich people who "took the risk to start a business" benefit anyone?
