Anonymous said...: Is this skewed to favor the flea baggers and their communist president barry soetero?? He never legally changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama.; January 5, 2012 at 10:58 AM

Kathy Meeh said...: Better to develop this country toward the European model which favors sanity, evolved thinking and better conditions for humans. Better to not revert backward to a "survival of the fittest" conformity model. Yes, #1 for me the clear choice is Barack Hussein Obama.

Anon (1058) what you support appears to be chaos lead by an obstructionist congress and candidate clown show.; January 5, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Anonymous said...: The hippies have learned a new phrase that they apparently don't quite understand, so I guess everything is going to be a "push poll" now.

Up next: Our push polls are our economy.; January 5, 2012 at 1:22 PM
Anonymous said...: We will never be europe. Blzzt!. Another foreigner or brainwashed commie trying to force americans to be something we ran away from. Give it up.; January 5, 2012 at 2:43 PM
Kathy Meeh said...: Anon (243), your comment describes the reason education and travel are important.

Uh, what did "Americans" run away from? Colonial History made simple. Prior to that other "Americans" were here.

Why you work against the best interest of what used to be the middle-class, and favor ownership by the most wealthy is beyond reason. Clue: you're not one of them.; January 5, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Anon243, Gosh, I haven't heard/read the phrase "foreigner or brain-washed commie" in years. I think you're kidding. But you do take me back to family dinners with my late, not so great Bircher&coulda been KKK, father-in-law. Anon,I want to thank you for the holiday nostalgia. And, please, it's too late for you. Stay home.; January 5, 2012 at 4:06 PM
Anonymous said...: It's usually the democrats that come from kkk family's. That didn't work out too well for you, did it? I know now all of you democrats support communism. Good luck with that. LOL!; January 5, 2012 at 5:46 PM
Anonymous said...: Whoa there severely-sheltered one...It worked out fine for me and mine. The FOB had a coronary on a Texas golf course with his Bushie master of the universe buddies. Left enough good old boy money to put all the grandkids through good schools and great colleges and make his kids pretty damn comfortable. True, I am a democrat but I don't mind saying that man was a real useful Republican.; January 5, 2012 at 6:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Look, it really is no secret anymore- that The Democrats embrace Communism. Just don't get that all-hurt-look on your face when it is slapped out of you. Those cuts will make you cry.; January 5, 2012 at 8:11 PM
Anonymous said...: You big brute!; January 5, 2012 at 8:34 PM
Kathy Meeh said...: I agree with Anon (834). Anon (811), you are a "brute"-- and your national politics are disgusting. Anon (811), how did you do on the political "choose a candidate" test above. Or, is it that you could not track the questions?

Democrats and hiding moderate Republicans may be the true "saints", and the people who follow benevolent teachings of social, religious and secular leaders.

The polar opposite of labeling American Democrats and European social-political systems "communist" is the far-right-wing politics of neo-fascism. That seems to be the chaos of what you are promoting, rather than accountable capitalism. Against known reason, science and evolved thought, have you convinced yourself that there should not be human advancement, fair dealings and a safety-net system built-into modern societies?; January 5, 2012 at 10:44 PM
Anonymous said...: An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Anonymous said...: America has not had true capitalism since The Great Big Deal, which by-the-way prolonged the depression. So quit with the fascism and name calling and pay attention. Your propaganda is failing.; January 6, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Anonymous said...: You got to read this;

Excerpt;"The scores of Highway Patrol cars that now dot our freeways are looking for the middle class — the minor, income-producing infractions of the generally law-abiding — inasmuch as in comparison the felonies of the underclass are lose–lose propositions.

If I were to use a cellphone while driving and get caught, the state might make an easy $170 for five minutes’ work. If the same officer were to arrest the dumper who threw a dishwasher or refrigerator into the local pond among the fish and ducks, the arrest and detention would be costly and ultimately fruitless, providing neither revenue from a non-paying suspect nor deterrence against future environmental sacrilege. We need middle-class misdemeanors to pay for the felonies of the underclass."

Brown could balance the state budget without tax increases through reform. He can’t do that. He’s a product of the iron triangle of public-employee unions, the bureaucracy that houses them, and academia and the media that provide the propaganda to justify the disaster.

Once in a while, Democrats in the Legislature give away the shabby con. A bill was introduced last week to exempt the bullet train to nowhere from environmental review. This train would pave over some of California’s best agricultural land, block wildlife movement and pollute the air. This bullet train makes the Keystone XL pipeline look like a butterfly sanctuary. Documenting these environmental impacts would embarrass the liberal elites, so the report won’t be done.

Environmental review was already waived for a new football stadium in Los Angeles. Crony capitalism meant that the NFL was more important than the environment. In fact, the “environment” is increasingly used by politicians and unions to favor big money contributors and/or coerce money from private development.

Crony capitalism, extortion of the voters, runaway government, ignoring the Constitution, higher taxes, all-powerful unions. California has it all. It is becoming Detroit.
