@bobbershop Yay! We got 'em. The German Green Party. Pretty much like the tea party, only that they're leftist fanatics not right-wingers. To them President Obama would be a nationalist... As he is a communist to Airbrain Airliner Sarah Jizz, erm, Sarah Palin! xD So, if you get bored being called a communist-hitler: Live in Germany! Here you are free to be called Hitler again! Black Hitler, it makes sense, doesn't it. Well, I just said: "WTH I always knew Jesus was black!" Or Alanis Morissette

This could be a theme song, composed and specifically wriiten for Obama by FOX NOISE..Oops, FOX NEWS, Evangelicals, The entire Republican members of congress, The NRA, and the other right wing WACKOS.
@plasmatv By "right wing WACKOS" do you mean the majority of the American electorate? In case you didn't notice, we handed you folks a "shellacking" (as your beloved president put it) last November. We voted overwhelmingly to send a message that "we're against it." Maybe it's you that's out of the mainstream.
So frank your saying you'd rather them invade us? Have the terrible man saddam in control of the terrorists? It was never just a war in Iraq, the war is officially called the war on terror. Not saying I'm all for the war, I am very saddened every time I hear another soldier has died. But just lighten up your attitude and pray for what is happening will end one day. Because that's all we can do sometimes is just let God's will be done.
Hmm, I think not invading Iraq would have saved even more lives, don't ya' think (wink)?
This song is more of a perfect fit for the current republican trend of being against anything (even their own ideas) even if a certain black person agrees with them.
@BigWallyFilms - So I guess that means your entire (dImocraps/libtards) theme song consists of "I can't make decisions that are intelligent because I'm too stupid to be cognizant or cogent of the reality of the situation. I cater to the LCD and realize that I'll always be another idiot in the way of being what we ought to be, which is a stand alone country not dependent upon anyone from the outside"?
@archona4 Boy, you sure are bass ackwards. Don't strain yourself coming up with another convoluted "argument" such as that. Extracting heads out of asses can be quite painful.
Whatever it was, Barack was against the surge. Had he known that it would win the war, he still would have been against it. There he is, saying he was against the surge, whatever it would accomplish, even if it ended up saving more of our soldiers' lives. It would have been fine with him if more of our soldiers were dying and our allies had to be abandoned to the wolves.
@happystance6able The surge" won the war"??!!!! WOW!!! So, tell me son, now that the war in Iraq is "won", explain the jusitification for murdering off and crippling tens of thousands of Americans? You're a rightwinger, so I know you would never serve in war, but please explain, even if you have to quote one of the shock-jocks or drug addicts who tell you what to think: What did "America" achieve by recklessly slaughtering American troops?
@HNK222 >>explain the justification for murdering...tens of thousands of Americans<<
Soldiers who die in battle are not murdered. You attack their honor by claiming that. Troop morale was very high under Bush, indicating they believed in the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan; believed in removing one of the world's most hideous tyrants, setting up the first free elections in the Middle East, and creating a Mosquito Magnet for the type who attacked us on 9/11. Many died so YOU could vote too.
@Thys93 More than money, it's about controlling other people; telling them what kinds of light bulbs they can use in their homes, what kinds of toilets they can have, where when and what kind of medical services they can have. It's about power. Think about it: Who the hell wants to be a Saddam Hussein? It's unimaginable for most of us, but there are those who crave that. Obama's like that. He wants you coming to government officials for your medicine, like you're borrowing your body from them.
One of my absolute favorite Groucho songs. At one large bureaucracy where I once worked, the answer to any question asked was always NO. . I took to walking up and down the halls singing this song. . Then, I would go into my office, and do whatever I decided was best. Thanks so much for posting this.
Being for something is more desirable to being for nothing or being against everything. Saying Cutting Taxes creates jobs is to flunk History, Math, and English, all in one. The evidence is clear.
@ATKeys I love it! I love it! I thought I was the only one who remembered this song. So appropos to the Republicans. Someone should sing it at the next session of Congress.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Obama is systematically destroying every institution that made this country great. He promised to transform the country and is trying to turn it into his vision of a socialist paradise. That always ends badly.
Since everything he does is wrong, whatever it is, I'm against it.
Might I suggest you get your talking points and info from others than Rush, Beck, Sarah, or such? Seems your info is from some extremely distorted perspective(s).
Given the steaming pile he was left, and the global damage from Bush/Cheney, I'd suggest that Mr. Obama's prime failing was the knee-jerk recovery limitations imposed by the NOs. What he's accomplished is actually amazing.
@jolati Where has socialism ended badly? Communism has ended badly, but all or nearly all of Europe is socialist. You think their lives are worse than ours? You think those people are suffering? You think those people hate their governments? Do you see the French, Dutch, English, Finns, Danes, Swedes breaking down our doors trying to get in here? Hell NO. As woodscritter said, I suggest you get talking points from someone other than Beck or Rush or idiot Sarah.
@jolati Calling him President Hussein is just fucking stupid. Did you pick your middle name? There are people in this country whose names are Adolf, so does that make them nazis? Of course not. But then, referring to him that way just reflects your overall level of intelligence, which is to say, NOT MUCH! Let me make that very clear in case what I just said is too subtle for you. YOU ARE STUPID.
You are stupid. He comes from a muslim father, which makes him a muslim according to that religion. He was registered as a muslim in a muslim school in indonesia and educated as a muslim his entire childhood. Get your head out of your ass. How many people named adolph do you know, you retard?
@jolati It doesn't matter if the religion considers him muslim. It's what he considers himself. My head is not in my ass you idiot. He attended a Christian church for many, many years here in the U.S. In fact, the republicans made a big fucking deal out of things his Christian minister said in sermons. He & Michelle were married in the Christian church. How many people I've known named Adolf? Only one personally, but I've known of others. You're so fucking stupid it's painful. I'm done with you
@jolati Your point is? So what if he is muslin what the hell does that have to do with being president? I do not recall a law saying you have to be Christian to be president. News Flash: just because you are muslin does not make you a terrorist! Wow people are hung up on really pointless things. Time to move on!
@kcdshg England is socialist? And here I was thinking it was a parliamentary democracy, with a non-functioning AND dysfunctional Royal Family. Anywho, socialism would be the best form of government. The only problem? Somewhere, somehow, (actually everywhere and rather easily) assholes exist. And so someone takes over 'for the people' and you get China or the Soviet Union. It would be the best government, but it doesn't work. So we're just left with representative democracy, buggy but good.
@TheZacula I don't think England is officially socialist, but if you listen to the radical wingnuts in this country they are because they have socialized medicine, which I wish we had. I have no problem with socialism as long as it doesn't evolve into communism, & there's no reason to think it would. Our representative democracy would be a lot better if it weren't for the crazies on the right.
It's amusing that people would pejoratively apply this to Republicans when, though expressing it through comedic routine, Marx was a great abhorrent of Keynesian economics, and by extension I am certain would be appalled at what is within the sights of this administration for destruction: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."
It's sad so many people laugh with him without really ever getting the joke.
@thtrgremlin Actually... being nitpicky... :)... While many Marxists have criticized Keynesian economics, Marx himself died the same year Keynes was born, and thus well before the advent of Keynesian economics. (Unless Keynes was even more of a prodigy than received wisdom allows!)
Should this great republic survive to 2011 this is what the new leaders of the senate and house are going to have to do to combat the retards currently infesting the executive branch. (Who would have thought that we'd ever get a president that would make Joe Biden look smart?!?)
I should have known ol Grouchos Gilbert and Sullivaneske would be turned against the Tea Party. Spend some time educating yourself on professional politics vrs philosophical politics. In professional politics this is the song for whichever party happens to be "out". We Americans love to discover the truth every day of the year.
Please explain why you believe this about a relatively intelligent centrist, corporate Dem?
If Obama is "horrific" then it follows that Bush was "SATAN!"
And I'm not a big fan of Obama. He's too middle of the road!
If he had any guts (or more humanity) he would've thrown every member of the Bush administration into prison and hauled them all to the international court at the Hague for a multitude of crimes against humanity!!
Bush's predecessors paved the way to the country's ruin. He hit it with a good hammer blow and got it further on the road. Now Obama's giving it the Grande Finale. If only there were more people who listened to Ron Paul and studied austrian economics, maybe... maybe the world (and America) might be a decent place.
Economics isn't like physics, its credibility for a large part cannot rely on pretended empirical evidences because it studies human interactions. What you observe in economics is likely to be the product of so many different causes and then give birth to just as many consequences that theories that rely on "empirical gauge" have no value at all. It's not fair to blame the economic field of study for not being able to overcome difficulties that are common to all social sciences.
@BadMunckY If you believe in the credibility of the Austrian school please give me an example of where they correctly identified a problematic economic event & perscribed the correct course of action. Just one.
The Great Depression is the first example that comes to mind. Almost a good 100 years ago, Ludwig von Mises correctly predicted the boom in credit caused by the Federal Reserve would cause a catastrophe sooner or later and accurately described its chain of events. Or generally it has been the same with every major crisis since then.
"Nobody could have seen it coming" say the mainstream economists. O rly ? It's already been accurately explained for decades, starting with Mises and Hayek.
@BadMunckY You don't have to be a follower of the Austrian school of economics to know that the Fed runs counter to the economic well being of our country.
@BadMunckY Well, Krugman and Stiglitz predicted our current depression and they aren't Austrians. Besides, Mises himself states "radical apriorism" is the only way to be an economist. The Austrian school has the feel of a cult; since results prove only improper application, never improper theory, they can never be proven wrong. Its the perfect circle of self-congratulation.
Excuse my skepticism but Krugman & Stiglitz largely impute the crisis to a supposed market failure. They may know all there is to know about financial derivatives and the sequences of recent events, except for the important part : they barely have any idea about what caused it. Btw wasn't that Stiglitz who foresaw few years ago that there was a 1 in 1 000 000 chance for Fannie Mae to go bankrupt ?
@BadMunckY "Supposed market failure"? There is no way to say the market does not bear a large responsibility for the current collapse. I'm sorry, you would have to be aggregiously blind and partisan to not see that the 'free market' played a role in it. As for what Krugman blames it on? So what, he called it long before it happened. Actually, I'd say that gives credence to what he blames for it.
Anyway I recognize there is some truth in what you say. But the fundamental difference is in the approach. (To me) economists like Krugman may be brilliant intellectuals, if you let them in command they are condemned to repeat errors of the past. Because they have no understanding of the importance of individual responsibility and the absence of distortions for a free market economy to work properly - and the worst distortion above all relies in monetary manipulations.
@BadMunckY I have a degree in Bus & am constantly amazed at how easily people throw around the term "free market!"
Exactly how would a laissez faire attitude toward the "free market" prevent predatory financial "n'er do wells" from again destroying our financial system?
Responsibility and justice to enforce it. The threat losing your bet, possibly more, which supposes you are accountable for your faults is the primary way for capitalism to regulate itself. Of course there's no such thing in a central banking system. Banks appropriate others' property taking it without consent with the law's blessing, then bet it, then lose it, then get bailed out, then get a free ride. How does it have something to do with capitalism, I don't even have a clue.
@BadMunckY "They have no understanding of the the important of individual repsonsibility". How do you figure? Provide me a quote or something that shows this. Are you so incapable of defending your position that you need to invent Krugman's?
@eirefrance They are keynesians. Isn't that enough ? Need I explain why interventionism creates moral hazard and irresponsibility at every level, especially when it's so outrageous ? Or why legally confiscated private property and permanent inflation mean the end of civilisation ? I think not.
Ps : there is no such thing as a free market. Not now, and not ever while the fed and its central fiat money monopoly still exists.
@BadMunckY Yes, you do need to explain how Keynesian economics = no understanding of individual responsibility. How does increasing demand = moral hazard? If you blame our recent bailouts on Keynesian policies, than I blame the financial collapse on Friedrich Hayek. The two are about as close in relationship as what you propose.
@eirefrance Despite the differences between giving money to the financial sector, or GM, or the poor, it increases their respective demand. Meddling policies led throughout the world at present are commonly qualified as Keynesian anyway, so I don't see how following the consensus would be absurd.
Anyway it's inappropriate to pursue this argument. You have your own well anchored beliefs, as well as I do, nothing will come out of few exchanges of a hundred words of ranting on youtube.
@BadMunckY By the way, you never answered a question that I asked awhile ago.
How would a laissez faire economic model, as typified by the Austrian school, be able to prevent more meltdowns or control predatory entities like Enron or WorldCom?
@adamrosemead I'm not getting on with this arguing. But I live in France so I shall react to that particular point : France's stimulus package is a complete mess of squandering and pork barrel. But it's not really "massive" (thank god). Overcome the financial meltdown ? Get up to date with the news. France is broke. Its banks are among the most vulnerable. Unemployment keeps growing. Public debt and deficit are completely out of control. Who knows what Greece's imminent failure will bring.
@adamrosemead & our retirement system is beyond repair too. Speculators are now betting on France's default. The whole country is so dependent on public expenses that the idea of an unavoidable bankruptcy simply chills my blood thinking of the political and social unrest that would result. It's not a question of laissez-faire against public intervention anymore, it's a matter of safeguarding our society. If we don't act now against it we incur the same troubles as the Weimar Republic did.
@BadMunckY But, how would allowing the private sector to take over what had been the govt's responsibilties improve the situation?
As we now know, comparing our govt run Medicare to private health providers, we know that we get more for our money using govt services vs a "for profit" system!
@adamrosemead You don't really get 'more'. You trade a satisfaction in the present for the hidden debt taken up by the public (the unseen cost). It's not that I'm really enthusiast about the "end welfare for private charity now" most libertarians want nor am I a particular private health defender. France's health system has worked well for years and brought relief on many people's head. Until it was made quite a mess.
@adamrosemead But the fact is I think corporate welfare is a nuisance, and welfare for the poor is desirable as long as it doesn't interfere too much with personal responsibility. The thing with so many government programs and regulations is that it may seem like a harmless idea at first and then it grows in an uncontrollable mess. Like smart growth policies for example : invisible at first, then turning real estate prices in a bubble and depriving people of an affordable home. And it goes on.
@eirefrance Want a good advice to hasten the end of civilization ? Follow Krugman's advices : exactly what the Fed and Obama administration are doing, except 10 times larger. More insane deficit spending, more crazy increases in the money supply, more arbitrary bailouts for pals (while others are prayed to foreclose and gently stfu). Which leads inevitably to default (we're already almost there) or (hyper-)inflation in prices, or both.
@BadMunckY Actually, the Obama administration has been IGNORING Krugman's suggestions that the stimulus package should have been MUCH larger!
The massive stimulus packages used by the Germans and French have been given as the main reason that both countries have already overcome the financial meltdown that we've only begun to fix.
LOL, but republicans are against education. They defund public schools, they teach religion in science class, and they hate anyone who is actually educated and articulate.

Whatever it was, Barack was against the surge. Had he known that it would win the war, he still would have been against it. There he is, saying he was against the surge, whatever it would accomplish, even if it ended up saving more of our soldiers' lives. It would have been fine with him if more of our soldiers were dying and our allies had to be abandoned to the wolves.

@happystance6able The surge" won the war"??!!!! WOW!!! So, tell me son, now that the war in Iraq is "won", explain the jusitification for murdering off and crippling tens of thousands of Americans? You're a rightwinger, so I know you would never serve in war, but please explain, even if you have to quote one of the shock-jocks or drug addicts who tell you what to think: What did "America" achieve by recklessly slaughtering American troops?

@HNK222 >>explain the justification for murdering...tens of thousands of Americans<<
Soldiers who die in battle are not murdered. You attack their honor by claiming that. Troop morale was very high under Bush, indicating they believed in the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan; believed in removing one of the world's most hideous tyrants, setting up the first free elections in the Middle East, and creating a Mosquito Magnet for the type who attacked us on 9/11. Many died so YOU could vote too.

@Thys93 More than money, it's about controlling other people; telling them what kinds of light bulbs they can use in their homes, what kinds of toilets they can have, where when and what kind of medical services they can have. It's about power. Think about it: Who the hell wants to be a Saddam Hussein? It's unimaginable for most of us, but there are those who crave that. Obama's like that. He wants you coming to government officials for your medicine, like you're borrowing your body from them.

It would be the best government, but it doesn't work. So we're just left with representative democracy, buggy but good.

It's amusing that people would pejoratively apply this to Republicans when, though expressing it through comedic routine, Marx was a great abhorrent of Keynesian economics, and by extension I am certain would be appalled at what is within the sights of this administration for destruction: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."

BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY In order to be able to respond to you, I just spent the last half-hour reading a synopsis of what the Austrian school of econ was.
Look, I studied econ in college along with some philosophy.
W/o an empirical gauge of your work your field of study has just ventured into the "metaphysical" (That's not good.)
adamrosemead 1 year ago
Economics isn't like physics, its credibility for a large part cannot rely on pretended empirical evidences because it studies human interactions. What you observe in economics is likely to be the product of so many different causes and then give birth to just as many consequences that theories that rely on "empirical gauge" have no value at all. It's not fair to blame the economic field of study for not being able to overcome difficulties that are common to all social sciences.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY If you believe in the credibility of the Austrian school please give me an example of where they correctly identified a problematic economic event & perscribed the correct course of action. Just one.
adamrosemead 1 year ago
The Great Depression is the first example that comes to mind. Almost a good 100 years ago, Ludwig von Mises correctly predicted the boom in credit caused by the Federal Reserve would cause a catastrophe sooner or later and accurately described its chain of events. Or generally it has been the same with every major crisis since then.
"Nobody could have seen it coming" say the mainstream economists. O rly ? It's already been accurately explained for decades, starting with Mises and Hayek.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY You don't have to be a follower of the Austrian school of economics to know that the Fed runs counter to the economic well being of our country.
adamrosemead 1 year ago
@BadMunckY Well, Krugman and Stiglitz predicted our current depression and they aren't Austrians. Besides, Mises himself states "radical apriorism" is the only way to be an economist. The Austrian school has the feel of a cult; since results prove only improper application, never improper theory, they can never be proven wrong. Its the perfect circle of self-congratulation.
eirefrance 1 year ago
@eirefrance
Excuse my skepticism but Krugman & Stiglitz largely impute the crisis to a supposed market failure. They may know all there is to know about financial derivatives and the sequences of recent events, except for the important part : they barely have any idea about what caused it. Btw wasn't that Stiglitz who foresaw few years ago that there was a 1 in 1 000 000 chance for Fannie Mae to go bankrupt ?
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY "Supposed market failure"? There is no way to say the market does not bear a large responsibility for the current collapse. I'm sorry, you would have to be aggregiously blind and partisan to not see that the 'free market' played a role in it. As for what Krugman blames it on? So what, he called it long before it happened. Actually, I'd say that gives credence to what he blames for it.
eirefrance 1 year ago
@eirefrance
Anyway I recognize there is some truth in what you say. But the fundamental difference is in the approach. (To me) economists like Krugman may be brilliant intellectuals, if you let them in command they are condemned to repeat errors of the past. Because they have no understanding of the importance of individual responsibility and the absence of distortions for a free market economy to work properly - and the worst distortion above all relies in monetary manipulations.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY I have a degree in Bus & am constantly amazed at how easily people throw around the term "free market!"
Exactly how would a laissez faire attitude toward the "free market" prevent predatory financial "n'er do wells" from again destroying our financial system?
adamrosemead 1 year ago
@adamrosemead
Responsibility and justice to enforce it. The threat losing your bet, possibly more, which supposes you are accountable for your faults is the primary way for capitalism to regulate itself. Of course there's no such thing in a central banking system. Banks appropriate others' property taking it without consent with the law's blessing, then bet it, then lose it, then get bailed out, then get a free ride. How does it have something to do with capitalism, I don't even have a clue.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY "They have no understanding of the the important of individual repsonsibility". How do you figure? Provide me a quote or something that shows this. Are you so incapable of defending your position that you need to invent Krugman's?
eirefrance 1 year ago
@eirefrance They are keynesians. Isn't that enough ? Need I explain why interventionism creates moral hazard and irresponsibility at every level, especially when it's so outrageous ? Or why legally confiscated private property and permanent inflation mean the end of civilisation ? I think not.
Ps : there is no such thing as a free market. Not now, and not ever while the fed and its central fiat money monopoly still exists.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY Yes, you do need to explain how Keynesian economics = no understanding of individual responsibility. How does increasing demand = moral hazard? If you blame our recent bailouts on Keynesian policies, than I blame the financial collapse on Friedrich Hayek. The two are about as close in relationship as what you propose.
eirefrance 1 year ago
@eirefrance Despite the differences between giving money to the financial sector, or GM, or the poor, it increases their respective demand. Meddling policies led throughout the world at present are commonly qualified as Keynesian anyway, so I don't see how following the consensus would be absurd.
Anyway it's inappropriate to pursue this argument. You have your own well anchored beliefs, as well as I do, nothing will come out of few exchanges of a hundred words of ranting on youtube.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY By the way, you never answered a question that I asked awhile ago.

adamrosemead 1 year ago
@adamrosemead I'm not getting on with this arguing. But I live in France so I shall react to that particular point : France's stimulus package is a complete mess of squandering and pork barrel. But it's not really "massive" (thank god). Overcome the financial meltdown ? Get up to date with the news. France is broke. Its banks are among the most vulnerable. Unemployment keeps growing. Public debt and deficit are completely out of control. Who knows what Greece's imminent failure will bring.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@adamrosemead & our retirement system is beyond repair too. Speculators are now betting on France's default. The whole country is so dependent on public expenses that the idea of an unavoidable bankruptcy simply chills my blood thinking of the political and social unrest that would result. It's not a question of laissez-faire against public intervention anymore, it's a matter of safeguarding our society. If we don't act now against it we incur the same troubles as the Weimar Republic did.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY But, how would allowing the private sector to take over what had been the govt's responsibilties improve the situation?
As we now know, comparing our govt run Medicare to private health providers, we know that we get more for our money using govt services vs a "for profit" system!
adamrosemead 1 year ago
@adamrosemead You don't really get 'more'. You trade a satisfaction in the present for the hidden debt taken up by the public (the unseen cost). It's not that I'm really enthusiast about the "end welfare for private charity now" most libertarians want nor am I a particular private health defender. France's health system has worked well for years and brought relief on many people's head. Until it was made quite a mess.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@adamrosemead But the fact is I think corporate welfare is a nuisance, and welfare for the poor is desirable as long as it doesn't interfere too much with personal responsibility. The thing with so many government programs and regulations is that it may seem like a harmless idea at first and then it grows in an uncontrollable mess. Like smart growth policies for example : invisible at first, then turning real estate prices in a bubble and depriving people of an affordable home. And it goes on.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@eirefrance Want a good advice to hasten the end of civilization ? Follow Krugman's advices : exactly what the Fed and Obama administration are doing, except 10 times larger. More insane deficit spending, more crazy increases in the money supply, more arbitrary bailouts for pals (while others are prayed to foreclose and gently stfu). Which leads inevitably to default (we're already almost there) or (hyper-)inflation in prices, or both.
BadMunckY 1 year ago
@BadMunckY Actually, the Obama administration has been IGNORING Krugman's suggestions that the stimulus package should have been MUCH larger!
The massive stimulus packages used by the Germans and French have been given as the main reason that both countries have already overcome the financial meltdown that we've only begun to fix.
